“People who pay, pay attention”

When people get stuff for free, they often don’t care as much as someone who had to pay for the same thing. “Those who pay taxes pay attention” was printed in The Times (Shreveport, LA) on May 10, 1987. “(Gov. Buddy—ed.) Roemer’s theory is, that’s why there’s so little interest in pubic schools and government in general. Those who pay taxes, pay attention; no taxes, no cares” was printed in The Times (Shreveport, LA) on October 9, 1988.
 
“People who PAY… Pay Attention!” was posted on Twitter by Joe Cross The King of Controversy on February 2, 2012. “Small Business Advice of the Day: People who pay, pay attention!” was posted on Twitter by Armani Valentino on December 11, 2014. “‘Those who pay, pay attention’ Thanks @russellbrunson” was posted on Twitter by Troy Hitt on October 14, 2016. “First, those who pay, pay attention” was printed in the book Expert Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Creating a Mass Movement of People Who Will Pay for Your Advice (2017) by Russell Brunson. “‘People who pay, pay attention’ Ubong king” was posted on Twitter by Ayo fareed on December 27, 2020.
   
Authorship is unknown. Russell Brunson has popularized the business saying since at least 2016. Ubong King, a Nigerian business coach, has used the saying since at least 2019.

People Who Pay, Pay Attention
So I have to tell you… other day I saw somebody post in a Facebook comment. They said, “Russell, you’re not actually an expert. You don’t actually care about people, because you’re charging them money… if you really care, you should just give it to us for free.” They were talking about my book here http://www.expertsecrets.com

“Those who pay, pay attention.” I heard this phrase recently. It’s a one sentence indictment of socialism and “free stuff” from the government. #humannature #tcc
