“If we were to write a profile for humankind, our interest would be that we love to talk about ourselves. How do I know this? Let’s use Google Earth as an example.

We went to our house – the same house on the same street that we see every day of the week. People love to talk about themselves; use this knowledge to draw in interest.”
