What Is Internet & Attraction Marketing? Why Should I Care?

Today, I want to discuss the topic of internet and attraction marketing. What do these mean? And why you should care?

If you have been doing a lot of offline marketing, belly to belly, old school type marketing, you might not know what this means. Most network marketers start out this way. Old style marketing methods is what I used when I first started my home business.

I have been involved in network marketing now, for about almost two years, but I have been involved in the home business industry for five, going on six years. I was taught to make a list of family and friends and talk to them. I put out fliers, passed out business cards. I was taught to put on product parties, but never felt comfortable with that. We used to have meeting once a month too. I followed my upline's instructions and I went to just about all of my meetings every month. I was pretty dedicated.

Using the old style marketing methods was a lot of hard work, almost like a job. Since moving my business to the internet, I have found it to be much easier.

If you look at the old school marketing methods, picture it as a funnel. You have to prospect a lot of people and put them through this funnel. This funnel requires you to physically do the work. You have to either meet them, call them from a list of leads you may have purchased, talk to everyone at various places. You will get a few that signup. At the bottom of the funnel, is where the customers and distributors are placed. Now realize that this is maybe about 5% of all of the people you communicate with. The majority of the other people, nothing has transpired. All of your efforts generated very little. It is hard work. It can work, if you are willing to go through a large number of people. If you are able to sponsor people faster than they are leaving, you can attain some success. Maybe in 3 to 5 years or more you will have a business where you can finally come home, maybe....

The old type style of marketing is like, throwing mud at the wall and seeing what sticks. Not a good business model to follow.

Now, the attraction marketing model works quite differently. It is basically the same funnel as used in the old style of marketing. You will get the same customer/distributor ratio as in the old style marketing methods. The difference is there exists multiple tiers within the funnel. Now, when you generate leads/prospects, when you put them through your funnel, they first go through your autoresponder. Your autorepsonder is going to automatically follow-up with those leads for you for months and years to come.

Using the old style marketing methods, I was taught to follow up with my leads, using the card system, which are index cards where I had the names and phone numbers of all of my leads. I would organize them by month. So each day of the month, I knew which leads to call. If they still said no, I would move them up another month. This was not an easy task to do.

Using the autoresponder, we don't promote our business in the front-end. Why? The selling is not considered to be attractive and turns people off. Most people just don't like to be sold to. Secondly, if they don't join your business, you are unable to monetize them. You earn no money.

Using attraction marketing, you are targeting a very specific target audience. The target audience is other network marketers. So, what you do is place your funnel in front of other network marketers. Once they are in your autoresponder, either through a capture page or a link, your autorepsonder then begins to build a relationship with those prospects by promoting valuable trainings, ebooks, tools, and courses. All of these items are fully generic for any network marketer to use. Usually, these are low cost informational items that most network marketers can afford. Most serious entrepreneurs will want to purchase some of these items because they feel that it will be helpful to their business, and more often than not, the informational items in your autoresponder should be helpful.

By marketing these various products on the front-end, you will then begin to earn money; even if they don't join your business. Further down the funnel you can continue to promote more tools and other products to the prospect. In return, you are not only making upfront income on small commissions, but you are also building your network marketing company on the backend. The people who join your business, usually have already made the decision to join you, but now you are able to capitalize on various aspects of tools and courses. In addition, you are building relationships with your lead list and positioning yourself as an expert.

When other network marketers see are knowledgeable about business and marketing, all the while helping them become an expert in marketing and knowledgeable about business, more so than their upline in their current network marketing company, you will find many of them joining you in your primary business opportunity.

Using the attraction marketing business model is far more efficient than using the old style of marketing. It is also easier because it is on autopilot. This is the exact method I use for my business that has helped me to start generating leads and making more money than I ever have with any other business opportunity.

This might seem complicated, but our system actually makes it easy. The funnel that we use is exactly what I have described in the paragraphs above. Everything is laid out for you. All that is required of you is to follow instructions and customize it to you. This method is used by the 6 and 7 figure earners in this industry.

If you want to succeed in network marketing in the modern age, it is more advantageous for you to stay ahead of the competition using the attraction marketing model described here.

Today, I had a very interesting conversation with someone online. I would like to share with you the topic of our conversation and what one should learn from this conversation.

I met this person through a social networking site, which will remain nameless. This individual, I shall refer to as “Bob”, is involved with a MLM. He is very passionate about his business, which I believe one must be if he or she is to be successful in any business. I like this person’s mindset because he is very personable, but also a go-getter, which is another necessary characteristic for someone who is trying to establish a home business for himself or herself.

Apparently, Bob had a conversation with a woman who has expressed a strong dislike for MLM’s. Now, in the various conversations I have had with Bob, he has never tried to recruit me into his business. This is not his style, nor is it mine, which is probably why we get along. He told me that he did not try to recruit her but he mentioned to this woman that he is involved in an MLM and I assume she figured this was the basis of their conversation.

In response to Bob’s business and his honesty about his association with an MLM, she shared her story about why she did not like MLM’s. Apparently, in the past, she has been involved in various MLM companies, but she became disenchanted with MLM’s, network marketing companies because of the way in which many members of MLM’s tend to promote their business.

She said that many people in MLM are all about selling their products and promoting their business opportunity without any adherence to the individual with whom they are speaking. Many members of MLM’s spend very little time listening to their prospects. Instead, they spend much of the time talking and trying to sell the prospect on the products, services, or business opportunity of their respective MLM, or network marketing company.

It was based on her experiences with MLM’s that she has decided to never venture back into the world of MLM’s or network marketing and I can vehemently understand her objections and perception about many MLM’s.

She, unfortunately, has had the displeasure of dealing with individuals who use the wrong approach in trying to build a business. The first thing one should learn, once he or she has made the decision to start a home business, is that building relationships with your prospects should come first. Why? Most people prefer to associate with people whom they trust. Building trust with people takes time. It is ok to let them know that you are involved in an MLM, but it is not ok to then go in for the kill; meaning start bombarding the prospect with your business opportunity or the products and services it has to offer. Keep in mind, most people, especially those on the internet, are constantly being bombarded with messages from people who want to sell them on a business opportunity or have them purchase the products and services. It is then, not a surprise, why most people do not like to be sold to.

By focusing on the relationship and learning more about the prospect and what their interests are makes them feel as if you care about who they are and about what they think. This also sets you apart from most other people on the internet whose actions display otherwise. By building trust and building a relationship, you also earn their respect. One example I can share with you is when I send messages to members in my FaceBook group, rarely do I talk about my business. Most times I share information, or a personal development message or something other than my business. I have had a number of responses from people telling me that they would feel more comfortable joining my business than anyone else’s because I don’t just talk about my business.

Building relationships and establishing a reputation as someone who genuinely cares about the other person will, indirectly, help you with your business. Because then you are giving people an opportunity to get to know who you are. Most people find other people far more interesting than the business itself. Thus, once they get to know who you are and what you are about, they will more than likely want to know more about your other interests, such as, your business opportunity.

In the end, both Bob and the woman came to an understanding. Bob, has accepted the fact that this woman is not interested in his business and never will be, but this does not deter Bob from wanting to talk to her. He still wants to remain friends with this person because he genuinely cares about who she is and her interests. The woman in turn also accepts the fact that Bob is involved in an MLM but she also has learned that Bob is not interested in selling her his business opportunity. He just wants to be her friend. Thus, the relationship building continues and even if it Bob does get her to join him in his business opportunity, he now has made a new friend and, to Bob, this is what having a business is all about, building positive relationships with people you encounter along the way during the business building process.

In conclusion, and I will often say this, people will only stay around when they feel that their needs are being met. Your business is not about you, but about those you serve.

Who am I? Well read on and you shall find out.

I am a software developer and a network marketer. I have been involved in online marketing for about one year now.

I grew up in Long Beach California. As a teenager, I was an athlete. I played sports much of my life. My first love in sports was basketball, but after a bad experience in junior high school, I quit basketball. After being introduced to tennis by my father, I started to play tennis competitively. I was the number one tennis player at my high school and one of the top ranked junior tennis players in California.

I attended University of California Berkeley. My dream was to be a doctor. My initial major was biophysics. Actually, I hated physics. I believe I was influenced into choosing biophysics because of a boy I ended up dating for a number of years.

After almost 4 years at U.C. Berkeley, I became very ill and had to leave. I was informed by my doctors that I had lymphoma, which is cancer of the lymph nodes. At the time, I was twenty-five years old.

After a year, my health had improved enough where I was able to finish my college education. I received a bachelor of science degree in mathematics. After graduating college, I went one year to graduate school, but had to stop because of personal problems at home.

It was after graduating college that I ventured into computers. I had a pretty successful career in computers. I spent much of my career developing software written in various programming languages. I started out as a junior programmer and worked my way up to a senior developer and technical lead. It was at the height of my career that things started to take its turn for the worse.

After ten years or so working in the computer field, the downsizings started to take place. After being downsized a third time, and other events that had taken place during my career, I decided that I no longer wanted to work for anybody anymore. But I had no idea what I wanted to do.

After spending some time doing research, looking for something that could replace my career, I discovered the home business industry, MLM, network marketing businesses. Thus, began my adventures in the home business industry.

My first introduction into the home business industry was affiliate marketing. Because I had no help or training from anyone, I failed miserably.

It was soon after this that I was introduced to an MLM. The company was involved in the health and wellness industry. I had some training, but the trainings focused on talking to my warm market, putting out fliers, home parties, placing ads in newspapers, and more. All of which got my business going but eventually those individuals that joined did not stay long. After almost four years, I left this MLM in search of another business opportunity.

During my search for another home business opportunity, I decided to focus on a business that dealt more with the computers. This is because of my background in computers and my comfort level with the computer. I tried a couple of companies and failed again. It was after a number of failures that I began to evaluate why I was not finding success with any of the companies. After much thought I knew it was because I was not being taught properly how to market my business online.

Thus, my search for another home business focused on joining a home business that would specifically teach me the proper methods of marketing a business online. It was during the summer of 2007 I found one. Being the "go-getter" that I am, I was soon one of the top performers in the company. I had learned quickly the marketing techniques and my business looked to be moving in the right direction. But, after a year, I noticed that I was not growing anymore. At this time, I knew I needed more training and the current company was not giving me the training I knew I needed. So, I began looking for another company.

It was in October 2008 that I discovered MLMLeadSystemPro (www.EZMLMProfits.com). Wow! I knew instantly, based on the video trainings and the skill levels of the owners of this company, that I was going to achieve the goals I had set for myself five years ago; to be able to walk away from my career and spend more time doing things I enjoyed the most. Much has happened during the brief time I have been with MLMLeadSystemPro and I realize that the best is yet to come.

Besides the network marketing business, I also owns a real estate investment company called, LAS Investments, LLC. I currently own six properties, five single family homes and a triplex. I have a property management company managing my properties.

I have set many goals. One of my goals involves growing my network marketing company and eventually incorporating both my real estate investment company and my network marketing company under one business establishment. Possibly a C-Corp or an S-Corp. In regards to my real estate business, I want to focus more on commercial properties; such as apartment complexes, storage facilities, and start investing in tax lien certificates.

Once I have reached my goal of at least getting my network marketing business up and running, I want to be able to not only spend time with my family, but also get back to her drawing and painting, playing her guitars, martial arts, and watching those beautiful sunsets over the ocean again.
