Top 4 (slightly unethical) tricks on how to persuade anyone 

Lessons learned: 1) Always deny assistance to someone after receiving a gift from them. 2) Always ask to be compensated for your time, effort, or resources. 3) If 'everyone does something', figure out why you don't, and do whatever works for you. 4) Don't be afraid to change your ideas, or publicly retract statements.

You didn't mention the trick you used to attract viewers, i.e slightly unethical.

Going to carry round a pocket of mints now

There is one tactic that never fails. A hobo near my neighborehood used to ask for change with little to no success. He now does it at gun point. Funny thing is that he doesn't only gets change, but wallets, and watches too.

4 doesn't work at all for politicians.

another thing that helps is a reward system. For example, returning their first born child only if they comply

"People hate being hypocrites. This is something we can EXPLOIT"

LOL...and I'm thinking that the "slightly unethical" parenthetical got more viewers than the same video without...

Al Capone once said it's better to ask nicely with a gun pointed to someones head rather than asking nicely.

This channel is so great,good videos and even sources in the description,good work

ha ha ha ha ha the lawyer worked for free so funny

There is a group of people next to the building I live that play absurdly loud music. One day I was fed up and went to talk with them. I told them everyone in the building was fed up instead of just me, and now they don't play music anymore. Success.

After watching 6 videos from your channel I finally subscribed. Very educational and not boring. Keep the videos coming!

I think this is sound advice. I ended up here because I'm thinking of how to deal with a situation: I've recently moved into an apartment in which I live above a family with a 4 year old child. Prior to this, I lived in a home (I owned) and had no worries about the level at which I played my sound system when listening to music or watching films. Now I'm aware of the fact that I'm right above these people (with their child) and I don't want to be a bad neighbor - but, at the same time, I greatly love my down time and the time I spend watching music videos, watching films, and listening to music on my home theater system. In short, I want to listen to my content as loudly (and as late) as I can without seriously disturbing or bothering my downstairs neighbors. They've just moved in, and, so far, I have a positive dialogue with them. They seem friendly. This video made me think that leaving a bottle of nice champagne or cava on their doorstep with a "welcome" note, might put me in their good graces so that I can express my desire not to bother them, but also forewarn them that I enjoy my home theater system. I don't want them to suffer or put up with a disturbance, but, at the same time, I'm hoping that they won't be hyper-sensitive. Does anyone here have any suggestions on how to help me respect my neighbors but also enjoy my audio (and yes, I have headphones, but there are times I can't - and don't want to - go that route.)

The third one works differently for me. If I'm told lots of people do something my first thought is why

when you find yourself in the majority, it's time to take a step back reflect, evaluate and may act differently. why should i be motivated to do something because other people do it this way? it works analog to "just because a lie is belived by millions of people, doesnt make it true". it may not be the right thing to do, quality > quantity. you also can even use the backfire technique to your advantage: "most people have a very narrow-minded view on drugs believing in prejudices, why don't you join them?" ;)

#4 is so powerful because although we think our identity is housed within our bodies.... the reality is our identities exist between us and the people we communicate with. This is some intense shit but once you really understand it you can transform yourself dramatically into who you want to be. You just need to commit to things publicly. The more public and the more brutally honest you are when making the commitment, the more binding it will be. You will be a different person literally the moment you make the commitment.

Money is also impersonal and it doesn't feel like the person giving money is giving up as much as you are.

Number 5 - become a Jedi Number 6 - Bribe them (probably the most common!)

I find manipulation to be an extremely off-putting idea, so I make sure the person I'm persuading understands every aspect of what I'm doing to try to change their perspective. Manipulation is simply an exploitation of ignorance.

Your videos are great Bite Size Psych! I cant predict the future(maybe you can do a video about this topic :P) but in the near future i do hope to see more people liking and subscribing to your channel. Thank you once again!

These videos are great. Should totally have more views.

I love this channel.

Now I'm going to start carrying around mints. Thanks.

great advise, just what i was looking for

this is all out of cialdini, love to see it told from somebody else`s perspective and understanding, great job!

I remember reading that you can get more people to do things if you give a reason, even if the reason doesn't make it better to comply. "Let me go ahead of you at the copier" doesn''t work, but "let me go ahead of you at the copier because I need to make some copies" does. Even if the reason is utter nonsense, just stating it is often enough to change behavior: "let me go ahead of you at the copier because my dog is sick".

I'd really like to hear Cartman from south park read us his tips on this subject, good video though o/

your videos arz just really good ! Your way of talking and even your voice are so great ( personal opinion ) and I wish I could talk the same way someday ! Your content is very fruitful ! keep going and I am looking forward to watch more videos from your channel

Awesome work !

I find the first tip the most useful. Giving before asking allows a positive relationship that goes both ways. Even if you can't give large amounts of items or give important favors giving something small is better then giving nothing at all.

nice tips. love this channel

I love this channel

Your videos are really useful, haha. Would love to see more tricks, though.

great videos. very descriptive and easy to usnderstand

This is wonderful.

Good video, I'm going to share this video with others

Interesting video, thank you.

Really intersting. I learnt a lot!

Wow!!! Your videos are so AWESOME!!! 👏👏👏👏😂😆👍

I just can't tell you how much I like your videos. They're really good!

The trick of giving before you ask is something I figured out when I was a kid. The overjustification effect is also something I figured out but I have resolved it in my psyche to reflect my actual pay. Hence, if you pay me less then my output will be sub-par and not up to my potential. You pay me more and I will give back exactly what you pay me in terms of quality, efficiency, labor, and work. By making myself aware of this I made my bosses increase my pay to reflect my actual work potential. The message I set out to send was clear: You get what you pay for.

very interesting video, thanks!

I have been binge watching this channel and it reflects my logical actions and persuasions with others so much! Also was this video based of the novel, Influence?

As a waiter, I would steal a mint, then go back for another mint. My mints increased by 2.

I was expecting this to be another click bait waste of time video, but this video was actually very informative.

just one word, awesome!

This is interesting in respect to a resource based economy.

Lol asking lawyers to do work for free

Well done.

All from Cialdini's 'Psychology of Persuasion'. Great info

The is a big exception with "Give before you ask" is in business. These days you need to make sure you're compensated fairly for your work before you do it. A lot of people try to come in low with hopes of being raised up and are often disappointed. I've learned this one the hard way.

People don't help for free. I mean, they do, but very few people. Most don't do shit for free.

You make some really smart stuff

+Bite Size Psych You stole this straight from Dr. Robert Cialdini & Steve Martin's Secrets of Persuasion. Even the examples and case studies. Why didn't you at-least acknowledge them in the description.

Thank you

Nice clip mate

#3 is crazy! I am definitely going to try it, because if it is true, I have been working against myself this whole time!

This was really good!

Slightly unethical? Sign me up

Great video, keep up the good work!

awesome vid 😊

anyone knows another great channel like this?

So, a few days ago, i was leaving a train, and there were an older couple with 2 grandchildren and some luggage, so i asked if they needed any help getting everything down. I helped, i gave the suitcases to the granddad and helped those kids down with a smile and all the "weeeeee" sounds you would do for kids. and after i finished i didn't even glimpse at the old man as he said thank you, i just turned around, said no problem, good bye and continued my way, so since that day i ask myself, why did i help them? i didn't seek their gratitude, i just wanted to finish the job i wanted to do. my guess is it was for myself, or maybe i was just cold so i did it as polite and fast as i could just so i could go. i reasoned, maybe that question doesn't need an answer as long as i am willing to help others, but i still wonder...

Love this channel already, when I saw tip #4 I immediately thought "cognitive dissonance"

Used the first tip heavily especially in malls and big purchase. Before a big date, I eat at a restaurant on my own for a few days (I know I'm weird but this has the added bonus of you assessing if this is really the place you want to spend lunch or night with a special someone) and tip generously each time. On the time of my date, we get great service. Give before you ask :)

Hi. Great Video. It seems like I read this info from this book called "The definitive book of body language" by Robert Pearce. Did you get the information in the video from the same book? Just Curios :)

I love the intro 😂 this is just a more classy version of the intros to cracking bike locks that says this is for when you have forgotten the code/key. Still. Be nice, everyone. Most people are; don't be That Guy.

The uncomfortable feeling when your beliefs and actions don't match is called "cognitive dissonance"

I think #4 is more of a subset of Motivating Personal Responsibility. Pointing out hypocrisy is one way to do this, but there are other ways like giving special responsibility for specific tasks or offering clear motivations for certain behaviors. All very good and accurate points, but #4 could probably be expanded.

sometimes this feels like my secrete channel where I learn big secretes

there's a sucker is born every minute, so take em for all they've got.

people hate being hypocrites? thats new

There are a few people I know who are too aware, or too unaware to use these on, my father, for example, will lash out in defensiveness if you point out his hypocricy

Giving people rewards when they least expect it is another great way just don't over do and make sure failure don't go unnoticed either get be to kind tell them youre dissapointed in them that makes you feel like crap.

this perfect most family members. they think cus your family they expext to take. but not give. thats why so much family dispute happen.

Well, you've got my sub

When it comes to the first one, you don't have to give things, emotional support/letting a person know you're there for them to talk to can be enough, especially if said unusually early in a friendship. This however cannot be done too soon as it will come off creepy, and it takes time because some people you'll have to tell them multiple times you're there. This works best for men talking to women, and is a very tricky yet useful skill.

This is from the book 'Predictbly Irrational'

doing things for a great cause and is about helping out to motivate for persausion

The fact that there is a science to this is nothing less than scary. In a world full of pros... Whoa

I was fired because I refused to accept number 2 persuasion (work for other values instead of money). But that because the company failed to follow number 1 persuasion (give before ask), as the company just wanted work but was enable to fulfill the promesses it made.

this guy makes the best videos ever

something I like to use when persuading someone is painting a clear picture of what they should do and then play down how much work it is. Like if I want someone to pick something up from the supermarket I'd say something like: you just have to go in, get the thing, and get out.

Number 1 is so true. I help my weed guy who’s also my coworker by giving him new customers. One night I needed some but didn’t have cash. He said “no prob just pay me back” Great success!

this video is a summary of the book "social animal" by Elliot Aronson

2:24 The black guy with glasses is one of the managers in FIFA 17 Ultimate Team.

I learnt the opposite of number 1 from Bel Ami. If offered beforehand, it is a bribe -if after, it is a reward/thank you. Works for small favours..especially seeing as people like you more when you ask them for small favours.

If you ever give a public speech, make sure to leave what you want everyone to think or know till last, the last thing you say is the part that stays in everyone's mind afterwards

I like this

this was in a video called the science of persuasion........................................................................

"slightly unethical" got me here. I know i got 'persuaded' myself by that title.

Tip 1 is better used with care, and never on anyone even remotely important to you. That goes especially when you ASK for something. On most people it works only once, and makes them jaded towards you. What's better, a 99% success chance on the first time and a 0.01% success rate every time after that, or a consistent success rate depending on the basic willingness of that person? In fact, the amount of tips given is not a good example, since there is no asking involved. It is common to give tips, so you're already likely to get one, all you get is a bit more. Try bringing someone a cake and shortly after that, "coincidentally" ask that person to help painting the house. They'll never eat your cakes again, or even better, continue to take the cake but "coincidentally" have no time to help you out..

how was any of that unethical?

The most powerful thing is to hand out when you are not in need.

Same is prevalent in school marks. As a student I have never been the best. I have always gotten b & c grades but never a grades. After having read 'The little black school book' by Dr Mark Lopez there were two main factors that contributed to a student's success. Firstly the schollary skills and success of students. The second was the markers impression of the student. The second aspect was evaluated to contribute on average a one grade difference between students who employed manipulation techniques to gain teacher favour and those who didn't. This is why some people say that attractiveness can influanced your hraids.So if you want to improve upon your grades it is advised that you create a phycological analysis in a section of you scrap book on the teacher or marker in your book. This should focus on the langauge used by the marker and the actions of the marker in reference to positive and negative feedback.Lastly if you can suduce your teacher, ;) he he he... Then you garentee success
