    Default Flip a switch

    This simple phrase "flip a switch" refers to doing something so easy that it doesn't require much effort at all. It’s like saying "it’s so easy just do it". Here's an example:


    Flip a switch and just watch how more and more people will be interested your product.


    That's a simple example of how the phrase can be used to convince a reader to do simple task (the specific task is irrelevant). What would be a good translation in Spanish. I more direct approach but less interesting could be:

    Asi de facil ....

    but is there any kind of idiom that expresses this idea better.

    Default Re: Flip a switch

    Tambien podria ser: "En un parpadeo"... Por ejemplo: "En un parpadeo veras que todo ha cambiado". O, como dices, "asi de facil".. tambien podria ser "asi de rapido".. aunque asi, generalmente, deberia ser acompañada la expresion con algun gesto o algo.. Pero digas la que digas, se entiende..
