Hey friend, just a heads up for the month of July.
Julie:
00:00:04
I'm going to be doing something a little different with the podcast.
Julie:
00:00:07
I'm going to be giving you.
Julie:
00:00:10
Short bite-sized solo episodes, and I'm doing this for a
Julie:
00:00:14
couple of different reasons.
Julie:
00:00:16
The first of which is I'm traveling a ton for work.
Julie:
00:00:19
Liz second is that I'm trying to take some time off in between all that travel.
Julie:
00:00:24
But I still want you to have a brand new episode in your feed every Wednesday.
Julie:
00:00:28
And the third is that in general, the listenership dips in July, while you
Julie:
00:00:33
are all out there enjoying the summer.
Julie:
00:00:35
And I don't want you to miss any of the amazing guest interviews I have planned.
Julie:
00:00:40
For release after the summer.
Julie:
00:00:42
So I'm going to push all of those off till after , July.
Julie:
00:00:46
And just give you these short little bite sized ones for you to enjoy.
Julie:
00:00:50
Okay.
Julie:
00:00:51
Sound good onto the show.
Julie:
00:00:54
Have you ever taken a bite of something you ordered at a restaurant and said,
Julie:
00:00:59
oh my God, this is so fucking good.
Julie:
00:01:02
Or maybe you bought a pair of pants and you were like, these
Julie:
00:01:05
pants make my ass look amazing.
Julie:
00:01:09
Or maybe you tried one of the tips I've given you on this podcast and you thought
Julie:
00:01:13
to yourself, this shit actually does work.
Julie:
00:01:17
Well, those are the kinds of reviews you should be writing
Julie:
00:01:20
for the things you were enjoying.
Julie:
00:01:21
Welcome to episode one 50.
Julie:
00:01:23
Two of this shit works, a podcast dedicated to all things,
Julie:
00:01:26
networking, relationship building and business development.
Julie:
00:01:28
I'm your host, Julie Brown.
Julie:
00:01:30
Speaker author and networking coach.
Julie:
00:01:31
And today I am discussing why reviews with swears are the
Julie:
00:01:36
most helpful kinds of reviews.
Julie:
00:02:01
Yes.
Julie:
00:02:02
You heard that right?
Julie:
00:02:03
Online reviews with swears in the review are the most useful and effective.
Julie:
00:02:07
This came out of a study where 75,000 Yelp reviews and 200,000 Amazon reviews were
Julie:
00:02:13
analyzed using linguistic software that identified those containing swear words.
Julie:
00:02:18
When describing products and noting the number of readers who marked
Julie:
00:02:22
the review useful or helpful.
Julie:
00:02:25
Um, both platforms reader's judged reviews, having up to three
Julie:
00:02:30
swear words as significantly more valuable than the other reviews.
Julie:
00:02:34
Several followup experiments confirmed these findings one experiment,
Julie:
00:02:39
separated participants into two groups.
Julie:
00:02:43
One group was given a review of a product that contains swear birds.
Julie:
00:02:47
The other group received a review of the same product, but it did
Julie:
00:02:51
not contain any swear words.
Julie:
00:02:55
In the group that received this sweary reviews, they held more favorable
Julie:
00:03:00
attitudes toward the product that was being reviewed than the group whose
Julie:
00:03:05
reviews didn't include swear words.
Julie:
00:03:08
So.
Julie:
00:03:10
Going forward.
Julie:
00:03:11
Maybe you should ask for sweary reviews of your products or services, or when
Julie:
00:03:17
making a strategic introduction for people to say, I love this fucking guy.
Julie:
00:03:21
He's the fucking best when you make the intro.
Julie:
00:03:25
You know, Shit like that.
Julie:
00:03:28
And if you're so inclined.
Julie:
00:03:30
Maybe leave your own swear or your review of my book or this here podcast.
Julie:
00:03:37
So, because this is, uh, this shit works short episode.
Julie:
00:03:41
There's no drink of the week.
Julie:
00:03:43
It's summer drink tequila on a boat or beer on the beach or wine on the porch.
