When you are starting your Internet and Network Marketing Opportunity (Multi-Level Marketing), mingle with people who are the best at this. Like-minded people who have lots of energy and are motivated just as you are. But how do you go about doing this?

What is Relationship Marketing?

Unlike the ancient marketing styles of selling yourself through flyers, sales talks, door-to-door visits and the like, Relationship marketing allows you to bond with your leads, make your product easy for them to acquire, all in an interesting way. The idea is not to push your concept onto the prospective lead but rather draw them in. You want to work efficiently and not bang your head against the wall with methods that have proven to be less than affective in the past.

Avoid ambiguity and forcing people to buy from you. Give them an irresistible choice to choose your products and services. Think of methods or messages which will allow you to “pull” potential customers in rather than repelling them. Deliver a message that is memorable, understandable, and usable.

Also it is helpful to not just simply think of yourself as a marketer, but rather as a “Personal Relations Consultant or Expert.” You are then no longer required to think from your own perspective but from the crucially important aspect of your lead, prospect or customer’s vantage point. You can ask yourself questions like, “What will my customer get from this product?”, “How can I help them understand this more?” You will find that you will attract a lot more people once you stop thinking around yourself and start focusing on other people and satisfying their needs. This will help you create a connection between you and your client and it is such connections that are immensely important for your business.

How will Attraction Marketing Expand my MLM Business?

To expand your business, Relationship Marketing is essential. When you own a business, you automatically become a leader. It is your leadership skills that will make people choose to be part of your business and not necessarily the quality of the products you have in your MLM business. Your leads and prospects look to you as a leader, so you must behave like one. It is important to teach your prospects rather than deliver empty and ineffective sales speeches. Building a relationship of trust and respect will put you in the position of leadership and you will have greater influence over others. Send “how to” messages and make an effort to connect with each prospect in order to strengthen the relationships within your Internet and Network Marketing business.

If your Internet and Network Marketing business is new or you’re new to the concept of “Attraction Marketing” or “Relationship Marketing”, the words “brand yourself” might seem a little strange. All it means is that rather than market your opportunity, you will market YOURSELF online as a leader – that way you will be someone who can teach others to be successful.

For example, you could set yourself up as an expert in:

• Teaching Moms or Dads how to build a business or
• Teaching young adults how to make money online,
• If you’re a Grandparent, you could teach grandparents.
• You might love health and nutrition, and fitness, and want to work in that area.
• Or, you might be a musician, and want to market to others who love a particular kind of music.

Of course, you should find a target market where you want to work, something your passionate about it, so you’re motivated at all times.

So, what is a Target Market?

A “Target Market” is a specific group of people you want to attract as prospects, customers and leaders for your business. Make sure you find a particular group of people who love (or do) the same thing you’re passionate about. That way, you can be authentic in your marketing. If you haven’t worked out your target market yet, I recommend working that out before doing anything else for your business!

Leverage off your Team

While you’re becoming an expert within your target market group, you can leverage off other people’s content to start making money. It’s a tremendous help to you, if someone in your team has something you can leverage off.

However, if your sponsor is like mine, and doesn’t use the internet to build his/her business, then you will need more time to learn things yourself. You may want to set up your own system for yourself and for your team. This will pay off tremendously, once you have it in place.

Build Assets for your Business

There are lots of different ways you can build your brand on the Internet and build assets for yourself at the same time. However, you’re much better off in the long run, to create YOUR brand and generate your own leads from your target market.

The list of leads YOU generate will be your biggest asset, provided you Follow Up and nurture them. Some examples of other Online assets you will have, are websites, blogs, your articles, your E-books, and your “self-created” videos.

When you Brand Yourself you will start Creating Assets which generate even more income

Assets generate income continuously (this is also called residual income), so it’s best to build as many online assets as you can. You will begin to influence people as part of your branding, so you attract them to YOU. This is not about you chasing people, it’s about them coming to YOU. It’s what Attraction Marketing is about.

Think about the way a Rock n Roll band “brands themselves” and attracts fans. However, for your business, you don’t need to be able to sing or play music, but just BE yourself and some people will like you, some won’t.

When people become part of your network marketing team, they’re not just joining because of your company, they are joining YOU. So, you have to build your value. Once my husband John, and I learned about Attraction Marketing, it literally changed our lives. We started having more fun and relaxing, instead of working all the time. John already loved to relax and have fun, and he spent years trying to get me to have more fun also. I thought I had to work extremely hard before I could be successful.

I’m not saying you don’t have to work, I’m just saying you can have fun while you’re working and leverage your time. With the internet, you can set things up, then go off and have fun, while your marketing systems are working for you. Especially if you have your marketing plan in place and a lead generation system all worked out for your business.

I have given you an overview of branding yourself and how this will work for your internet and network marketing business. As you brand yourself within a particular market, and create assets, your team and your online business will grow enormously!

Now it’s your turn, what do you think about branding yourself and having your OWN Internet and Network Marketing business?

Have you noticed how it’s much easier to see Law of Attraction working for other people, than it is for yourself?

Business can be affected in a huge way, just from the way the owners or their employees speak, feel and share their emotions.

The other day, I went to what used to be one of my favorite shops. It’s only a small shop but it provides a water sports activity which is fun and exciting.

I used to love going there because the owner used to share adventures she had in my favorite sporting activity. The little shop used to buzz with excitement and activity, people recommended the business to their friends, and it was thriving.

That was the Law of Attraction at work bringing abundance and fun to the business, because that’s how the owner felt and spoke and shared emotions!

A Change in Your Feelings Brings Change to Your Business

However, during my visit the other day, I noticed a big difference in the attitude of the owner. Now, there is a feeling that the economy is down, no-one in this industry is prospering, all other small businesses in this city are doing badly, and everything is doom and gloom.

And, guess what is happening to this business? Doom and gloom is being attracted even more. The more the owner talks about it and feels bad about things, the more unwanted things are being attracted.

This kind of thing happens to any business, especially Network Marketing.

Take notice of how you feel about the products you are marketing for example. If you don’t like them, it’s highly likely you will sell them because your feelings will be sensed by other people. If you think they are too expensive, so will everyone you speak with.

I joined a business years ago, that sold an information product which I felt really should’ve been a “one off” sale for countries outside the United States. However, to be a member of this country, you had to be on autoship. Because of my feelings, I found it almost impossible to recruit anyone. I wasn’t with that company for long:-)

So, if you are genuinely excited about your product and your opportunity and about your own brand (YOU Inc), those feelings will be felt by others! It’s the way Law of Attraction works. If you feel good about something, things you want will be attracted to you!

Likewise, if you feel bad about something, then things you don’t want will be attracted to you!

What kind of experiences have you had, that show the Law of Attraction at work?

I look forward to reading about them!

Have you heard a lot about Attraction marketing, and yet still don’t really understand what it means?

Or else, you might understand what it means, but you don’t really know what it has to do with marketing?

Marketing is all about selling your product or service isn’t it? One definition of “marketing” is “selling: the exchange of goods for an agreed sum of money”.

Interpersonal attraction is the attraction between people which leads to friendships and romantic relationships.

About 8 years ago,  we  used to call “Attraction Marketing” “Relationship Marketing”.  This was only in the Network Marketing industry at the time, and now the concept is applied to all different kinds of business.

So…. Attraction Marketing means to sell your product or service by building relationships with people. And, this is what Social Media is all about – “building relationships with people” whether it be for business or pleasure.

You might be wondering how something like Attraction Marketing is going to actually make you money? How will building relationships with people sell your product or service?

Well, have you noticed that if you recommend something to a good friend, they usually take notice of what you’re recommending?

It works the same with your business, if you build a relationship with people by giving them what they want and find useful, then, when you recommend something to them, they will take notice.

The Law of Attraction Everything to do with Attraction Marketing

When you know what the Law of Attraction means, then Attraction Marketing will become easy and fun! The Law of Attraction says “the essence of that which is like unto itself is drawn”.

Abraham Hicks are a collection of teachers, and were the first to teach about the Universal Law of Attraction. The following quote comes from the Abraham Hicks website

You Are a Creator; You Create With Your Every Thought.

By the Universal Law of Attraction, you are attracting the essence of whatever you are choosing to give your attention to — whether wanted or unwanted. And so, you often create by default. But you can know by how your emotion feels if what you are attracting (creating) is what you are wanting or if it is not what you are wanting. (Where is your attention focused?)

Following on from the above quote, what are YOU giving your attention to in your business?

Please leave me a comment about your thoughts on attraction marketing, and if you like this post, retweet it and give it some Luv!

And, have a terrific day or evening, whichever it is for you!

I came across an article today that shows you exactly what to look for when designing a new site or re-designing a new one. This is what I’m going to be doing right here on my blog.

Chris Brogan recommends thinking about the following….

When I go to your website (or blog, or twitter page, or facebook page), what do you want me to do? What do you REALLY want me to do? Don’t answer that right away or glibly. What do you want me to do on your site? How do you want me to feed into your systems?

After deciding WHO your audience will be (always the first step), there’s a number of questions to ask for your audience.

Chris gives a brief but concise outline of these questions making it really easy to design your blog FOR your audience. You can read those questions here.

Seth Godin is giving away a book called “What Matters Now”. It’s a compilation of seventy different authors who’ve put their dominant thoughts on a particular subject onto one page.

They’ve spoken about things like Generosity, Fear, Facts, Dignity, Meaning, Ease, Connected and many more…

Ease is my favorite – Elizabeth Gilbert talks about Easing up, pumping the brakes and stepping back, take a walk. It’s something I should do a lot more:-)

Which chapter is your favorite?

Did you see the new Facebook privacy changes? According to an article on Computerworld today, these will make a difference in what kind of information gets publicly shared on Google.

There’s a lot of controversy around this, because a lot of people originally joined Facebook because of its privacy aspects. People could safely use Facebook among their friends without their discussions being “spread out” to the wider internet community.

Facebook says that their new settings are going to simplify the way privacy is set up. With these new changes, all users have to go through a privacy configuration wizard to set their preferences.

What happens to your information on Facebook depends on whether you’ve already selected your own privacy settings and whether or not you now go with Facebook’s default settings. It’s a good idea to have a look at your privacy settings and to make a decision whether or not you want your status messages and discussions to be public.

No matter what anyone says, these are VERY interesting times!! Love to hear your opinion on this!

This is Important and you need to know about it Right Away.

Last night Facebook staged one of the biggest virtual land grabs ever – the rush to own your own name on Facebook.com

Before this, if you wanted to send someone to your profile, you would have to figure out a URL looking something like this:

www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=010101011

Wouldn’t you rather own www.facebook.com/yourname ?

But here’s the catch – it’s first come, first serve. If you have a common name, you might have missed out already.

Go right now to http://www.facebook.com

Log in and you will see a form that gives you several suggested usernames, and the ability to choose your own. Either choose one of the names suggested or type in your own.

If someone else already has your name, get creative – add a period, or a dash or shorten it, lengthen it or slap a number in there (just one) somewhere.

I already got my name at midnight, before going out. Sorry, that’s why I’m just letting you know now.

Hope you can get your name, it’s going to make a huge difference. It will come up in google really quick.

If you’ve watched any of my training videos, you will know how easy it is to follow the steps! And, you will know that if you follow a system, you can learn to attract prospects to you – both business builders and customers.

My training system is just a tiny sample of what you can learn elsewhere! If you haven’t heard already, there’s an online Network Marketing community where you can learn everything you need to know about getting prospects to come to you. In addition, they teach you how to get paid while looking for prospects!

In this community, there are numerous step by step tutorials, showing you how exactly where to create content so prospects can find you. They even have a full blown copywriting course for you to learn how to write content that will attract people to you. There’s another course on how to do pay per click, if you want to pay for advertising. Most of what they teach is stuff you can do for free.

Now, you might be wondering why I’m telling you all this! It’s because this community closed it’s doors for awhile, and now they are going to open again.

This time they are staying open for good!

I have a special Coaching offer for you, if you choose me as your Guide within this community. If you’re interested, go here:- Julieanne Special Coaching Offer
