Attraction Marketing Part V

Internet attraction marketing requires a marketer to give or share FIRST before expecting to receive anything from a customer. It is not just ideas, as mentioned above. He should also be able to provide materials that a customer will appreciate such as brochures, newsletters, free consultations, videos, e-books, trial offers, free quotations, and software. Information provided by these freebies, to paraphrase a popular saying, “do not provide a solution but teaches a customer to solve problems.” Only then should you proceed to present a product as a means, an instrument to solve problems.

Attraction marketing at its simplest form is definitely, the reverse of conventional methods. First, present ideas and solutions—make it FREE! Then, layer that with valuable products; only after building a trusting relationship with your readers. This formula is way more effective than the “old school sales tactics” our parents grew up with. People want solutions rather than fall immediately for the sales pitch of a sales agent.

Readers are more aware their rights as consumers. If you’re marketing the old fashioned way; we recommend that you look at your marketing—what can you do to implement attraction marketing in your campaigns? If may be as simple as adding some video, how to’s, giveaway, etc. Trust us when we say it is so well worth it.

While this ends the short series; come back often as I will add more information freely.

Attraction Marketing Part IV

Attraction marketing works. Instead of meeting people’s problems and needs head on with a product as a solution or a cure, using attraction marketing one would show genuine sympathy first by giving tips, advice, or suggestions. Once the marketer gains the trust of the read a solution is presented; sometimes yes it is a paid solution—more often than not—it is free information. Thus; build more trust.

Because attraction puts people’s trust at prime importance, attraction marketing demands an entrepreneur to make a name first. You see; by using the attraction marketing model; it becomes a win-win situation.

However, this is not done by, insisting on a product. It is by presenting oneself as a credible expert in the field who wants to help people solve their problems. And that my friend is what sets one apart from the traditional “foot in your door” salesman. A sales representative is more concerned about selling his product than listening to a potential client’s problem. An entrepreneur applying attraction marketing, on the other hand, gives expert advice, addresses particular needs, and even walks a customer through a process. Of course, he sells his product but not before showing expertise and genuine concern to customer and not after he convinces the customer how important his product is in achieving total solutions.

Part 5 coming right up...

Attraction Marketing Part III

Attraction marketing; on the other hand, is making waves and strides in breaking down the previous barriers faced. As the name implies, this does not intrude into the lives of people to sell a product or service.


Instead, it attracts people to be informed about the product and to buy it when they convince themselves of the wisdom in buying it. This is, definitely, not an inch close to the definition of aggressive marketing or hard selling a product or service. In fact, just by looking at the surface or at how its packaged, it is not easily recognized as selling at all.


The internet, in the first place, was built on the premise of giving everyone access to information. People surf for ideas, suggestions, and any other data they need. From finding out the best summer destinations to guides on building a garden shack and even suggestions on how to make a business prosper, the internet is their most reliable and most abundant source of knowledge. They even use it get advice on relationship problems, medical and health issues, and entertainment tips.


Stay tuned for part four...

Attraction Marketing Part II

Traditional marketing methods promote the idea of aggressive selling. The most common are; the annoying salesman who makes unexpected visits, TV commercials that annoyingly interrupt a funny sitcom, and gigantic billboards that can dangerously take away the attention of motorists from the road. A relatively new one is telemarketing, in which sales agents make unsolicited phone calls to prospective customers; disrupting people’s dinners, this method is, obviously, just as bothersome as its earlier cousin.

Clearly, internet marketing does not do the same, which is why some conventional marketing experts consider it as less effective. The idea behind this impression is that people rarely turn a PC on to buy something. Instead, their consumers’ instinct will urge them to go shopping directly or through the yellow pages. In that case, internet marketing does have a disadvantage. However, that style of marketing is a result of the lack of appreciation for the internet and its importance to people. It merely thinks of the internet as just another billboard, a flyer, or a less obtrusive salesman.

Stay tuned for part III of the attraction marketing series.

Attraction Marketing Part I

I've decided to write a short series about Attraction Marketing. Because I know my readers are busy; the posts are not more than two paragraphs long...please enjoy!

The days of the salesman are long gone with the arrival of the internet. It didn’t take long for businesses of all sizes and specialties to notice. They have, in fact, cut expenses on direct selling and invested instead on information technology in the hope of gaining an edge in the new marketing battle arena; the internet.

It may indeed sound strange for those who are still used to sending their salesmen to knock on people’s doors. They would probably wonder how the internet could present a product, explain its features and benefits, and sell when it does not have the capacity to interrupt people from what they are doing by knocking on doors or making phone calls the way sales representatives do. They are, however, a vanishing breed. The new strategist or expert in the art of marketing has his eyes almost all the time at the internet-connected PC, grasping the market situation and designing campaigns to increase sales.

Part Two coming soon--

Internet Attraction Marketing

Internet attraction marketing uses the internet to prospect and support the marketing efforts for your network marketing business.

Imagine using your internet as your main tool of recruiting, qualifying, and creating income for you network marketing business. You would do this through content generation, writing about your product or opportunity.

Becoming active on social sites, participating in forums, and providing a ton of informational value and having the most qualified people coming to you and your websites asking you to teach them how to build their businesses online.

Identifying Your Primary Objective for Your Marketing Business

As with most big projects you should start with your end goal in sight; this will help you determine what you are going to need to get the job done. I would suggest that your goal is to sell products at a reasonable profit and/or attract people that are interested in developing an income stream by working from home.

The next question is how do you do that and what tools will you need?

Considering the fact that many people don’t purchase from you the first time they arrive at your website, you need a way to develop a relationship with these people over a period of time. This is one of the most important concepts in Internet marketing; you absolutely should be building a list of prospects.

An Autoresponder - The Most Important Internet Marketing Tool You Can Ever Have

Building a mailing list is a key factor in your internet/network marketing business success, choosing a good autoresponder is of critical importance. I’ve heard of people changing autoresponder services after being in business for a number of years and in the changeover process they lost over 70% of their mailing list…you definitely do not want to do that.

You can read a review of which are the best autoresponders to use to help you make an informed decision, this is one thing you absolutely must get right.

Getting People To Join Your Mailing List

People won’t just jump on your mailing list because you asked them to do so, you’ll have to offer them some valuable information before they will make that commitment and that brings us to the next set of tools that we are going to need -- tools for creating landing pages or sometimes referred to as lead capture pages. Everyone does do not want to hear about your world’s greatest opportunity or compensation plan. They want benefits. Lead with the benefits. Show what is in it for them.

Marketing Your Business On A Tight Budget Using Funded Proposal

So you want to know more about funded proposals? It's simply a way to earn money even when someone does not buy your primary product that you are promoting.

I could stop here with the definition, but hey I want to give you more valuable information that you can use to help you promote your business and ultimately make money online.

Now pay attention to this...

Many online marketers have been using funded proposal for years. Some might think it's a scam or a sneaky way to make money. I totally have to disagree. I call it smart marketing, besides that it works.

Let's dig a little deeper into a funded proposal. First off you need a product to sell, whether it's cat scratch posts, quilts, or red wagons you begin by the process by selling an inexpensive item that is useful for your prospect. Give them what they want even if they are on a tight budget.

Now that you have offered your prospect an inexpensive item, and they opt-into your blog or website, you have them in your marketing funnel. While your marketing to them through your autoresponders you are building a relationship with them. You are building trust. Remember people hate to be sold but will buy from people they trust. Don't blow it here. Continue to provide good valuable information and products.

Now as you discover new products that you believe your prospect will be interested in you share with them through your email marketing. Remember your prospect might be on a tight budget so the funded proposal process will be very helpful for you and them.

Often times you will help your prospect discover new products and services they have been searching for and unable to find on their own. During this process you introduce your primary product, some of your new friends will buy your product but quite honestly most don't, and that's okay because they have already joined you through what we call a funded proposal.

Even when you are on a tight budget keep in mind these few things:

1. Adding new people to your prospect list is much harder than keeping the people you already have., give people what they want and need. Deliver what you promise.

2. Be sure you are providing value, you are not just a "peddler" you are an expert. This will build respect and trust with your prospects. By all means offer solutions for people, isn't' that why they are seeking you in the first place? Give them what they want!

3. Remember you have something to offer. You need to position yourself as the leader.Be sure and work on yourself. Continue to be a leader and people will follow. Remember not to push your product onto your new friends, if they don't want what you have to offer it's okay but do try to find out what they do want.

Since you are on a tight budget consider these tips:

1. Use your ebooks that you have been collecting as a give-away. Be sure you have your prospect opt-into your marketing list so that you can continue to market to them.

2. Write articles and place ads in free classified online. There are many directories to choose from

3. Consider doing some advertising on craigslist, great ideas to get you going in the book below.

I've given you some ideas to get your juices flowing. I want you to know this book is the book I first bought when I started my marketing business. You will not only learn how to market yourself using free and inexpensive advertising you will learn how to position yourself as a leader and begin your funded proposal on a tight budget.

I hope this has helped you. Even if you don't get the book, be sure and grab the free training available.

Is Marketing Easy?

So you thought marketing would be easy?

This is what I thought when I first ventured into the wonderful web world, I thought it would be super easy, slap up some websites and wait for the sales.

Well it's not quite that easy, but when you start having light-bulb moments that is when it begins to be easy. I'm glad my lights are on more now than they are off.

Huh??

Let me explain.....When I turned to the internet looking for my next J.O.B. I never knew that I would be so intrigued with marketing on the internet.

Internet Attraction Marketing

I spent countless hours researching lots of "so-called" products that are available. In addition to all the hours I spent I also spent most of my savings just learning on how to tap into this market.

Has it all been worth it...you bet it has. I love
what I'm doing, I love that I can bring value to
people's lives, I love that I'm connecting with
great like-minded people, I love that I'm able to
'GIVE-BACK'

I signed up for everything, of course not knowing what the heck I was doing, I thought I needed everything. I got so excited. At last count I was signed up with 20-25 different programs that promised to make me money.

Now don't get me wrong many of the products were good, they were not STAND ALONE products, and since I didn't know what I was doing I bought everything.

I was a marketers dream subscriber.

In my research the pieces of the puzzle were beginning to come together but things were still a blurrr.....kinda like this:

(*&(&(*&^&I^$#^$GHF$G(*(@& ^T#
@HF N$@ &* %) @#*

Get the picture??

I was learning something totally foreign. Who knows maybe I was slow to "get it", determined to PRESS ON. I only wish I had the proper marketing system it would have saved me time and money. Eventually the picture started making more sense like this:

xiepb395 marketx.3%*& social
29fe$&adver)(*& e%R^htise$%(Id(&(
blogs 657 ergf4 4q4 *^&* 93 %%
website %&*

You get the pictures things were becoming clearer. The light-bulb moments were happening several times a day, things were falling into place, the picture was getting clearer.

Marketing Online Is Fun!

So I Marketing Easy?? Yes and No.

Yes, once you put the pieces of the puzzle together in your head and "get into it", it gets easier like anything in life the more you do it the easier it gets.

No, in the sense that if you don't know where to go and what to do to then it's very hard, kind of like the jungle of gooberish above.

If you are tired of Corporate America and want to live the life you deserve, work from home in your pajamas, and take charge of your life, I encourage you to check out the links in this blog and connect with me here.

Do you have a passion? A favorite sport, a product, seriously anything you LOVE and have PASSION about you can market it and I will help you.

Save yourself countless hours and money get in touch with me and I will get back to you.

Internet Attraction Marketing: Lack Of Leads For Your MLM Business?

Internet Attraction Marketing: Lack Of Leads For Your MLM Business?

Lack Of Leads For Your MLM Business?

Need Prospects for Your MLM Business?

Has your initial list of 100 joined you in your business yet?

Good thought huh? Well I don’t know about you but when I made my list of 100 maybe 1 or 2 of them joined me in my Business, I think they felt obligated to do so.

I was a good down-line; I did everything my up-line told me to do. I made the list of friends, family, neighbors, mailman, hairdresser, my doctor, the neighbors dog…you know a huge list of everybody and their pets.

Well it turned out that I found myself talking to strangers at malls, crafts shows, parking lot, and grocery stores. You know the 3 foot rule, hoping that I could turn the conversation around and talk about me. Yes Me.

After all I believed I had the best product and greatest new MLM business opportunity.

I look at my approach then, it was pretty silly. The way I was taught to prospect people was a little ridiculous, but how did I know any different? I didn’t just like you don’t until now; there is a whole new approach that works like clock work.

Need More Leads For Your MLM Business?

I, like most of you reading this can probably agree, people don’t care about YOUR new MLM business opportunity, you were talking to the wrong people, it’s not your fault.

Your new business opportunity is exactly that…Your New Business, most of the people you talk to from you list of 100 could care less about what you are going to try and shove down their throat, I know none of you did that right? I know I did, I will admit it. I wanted my business to grow, I didn’t know any different, I just rambled on about my great opportunity.

So my question is; did you ever sponsor anyone from your original list of 100?

If you did, good for you, most people do not. How many did you sponsor? If you sponsored more than 10% you get the sponsorship award and you probably have a thriving business right? How many of them are still on your team today?

How would you like it if the people who joined your team didn’t quit because sponsoring actually got easier, and sponsoring actually started to snowball in their business?

No more large attrition!

Every network marketer’s goal is to build a large following, to talk to as many people as possible. The problem with the old recruiting system is the approach.

If you are still involved in your MLM business opportunity you are smart, because there are solutions to your lack of growth. Hang in there it gets better.

You are probably like most Entrepreneurs you want control of your life; you want to make your own decisions, decide when you will work and when you will not work, have a better life, Fire Your Boss!

So if building a large MLM business has not quite happened for you, and you still want the freedom that you know you can have if you could only sponsor more team members, take a minute and head over to my website.

Listen and Read. This is a real system that will explode your business. Easy step-by-step instructions and “real” people that will help you sponsor the right way.

If you are tired of struggling there is hope.

Stop struggling in your business. Get the information that you need that could literally explode your MLM organization.

Web 2.0 A Scam, You Decide For Yourself!

The Secret's Out, Internet Marketing isn't a scam after all...

I was reading the Wall Street Journal today and came across this article, you might have already read it, I want to share my view on the article with you, it's powerful, but the funny thing is WEB 2.0 is not new, it's just that B2B companies are just now beginning to see and understand the value of socializing on the Web.

Here's the short of it; Internet Marketing is here to stay, did that sink in?

So here's the scoop, if you don't want to get left in the dust in marketing your product, company and website you need to get on the band-wagon, it's never too late to get started.

Remember, people don't care about what you have to sell, people care that you care about them. Remember that!!

You and I both know, we've heard it a million times; People don't like to be sold but they like to buy, and we want to buy from someone we know, like and trust.

I FIRED Corporate America to pursue my new career in Internet Marketing, I now work from home in my pajamas, what luxury. Working from home, being an entrepreneur is rewarding and I would much rather pad my own bank account then the other guy's bank account. I'm a valuable commidity and so are you.

You decide for yourself, is it worth the risk, is it worth looking into? How many businesses do you know of that you can start with as little as $300 and in less than 1 year be earning 6 figures, not many.

Read the excerpts from the Wall Street Journal below.

The Secrets of Marketing in a Web 2.0 World
Consumers are flocking to blogs, social-networking sites and virtual worlds. And they are leaving a lot of marketers behind.

Getting Sociable

* A New Approach: Marketing these days is more about building a two-way relationship with consumers. Web 2.0 tools are a powerful way to do that.
* The Pioneers: A growing number of companies are learning how to collaborate with consumers online on product development, service enhancement and promotion.
* The Lessons: From these early efforts, a set of marketing principles have emerged. Among them: get consumers involved in all aspects of marketing, listen to and join the online conversation about your products outside your site, and give the consumers you work with plenty of leeway to express their opinions.

Oh the Joy of Technology

You gotta love technology these days. I find it very facinating when I look back to the way we used to communicate. Back in the days, alright I will tell you, in the 70's I took a data entry class and the computer took up the average size living room, there were big reels of tape that read the 5x7 data cards that were processed through a card reader. Wow have we come a long way. So in thinking about this it literally took me minutes to get blog page up and going, who knew it would be so easy. One thing that I really love is that I can even share videos of me with my friends and family and I don't have to leave the house to do it. Ahhh the joy of technology.
