How To Choose A Marketing System

The marketing style you choose for your new business is critical. It will be one of the determining factors in the success of your business. Choose carefully!

Traditionally, Network marketers were told to contact everyone they knew and introduce them to the business. I was told to ask my family, friends, and work associates. They said “give your business card to everyone within 3 feet of you”. I did those things and I will tell you it didn’t work very well. It is a very inefficient system. Most people have no interest in the product or the business. It was a tough sell indeed!

I believe that the person to person marketing of the past has value but in a much more limited way. I continue to do some of this but I’m more particular about who I approach. My travel based MLM business naturally appeals to people already in the tour and travel business. Therefore, I will offer it to Travel agents, guest house owners and the like. This has been a productive marketing technique but beyond this I rarely approach strangers about my business.

Now I use the system of marketing known as Attraction Marketing. Most of this marketing is done on the Internet and this makes it much more powerful and efficient. The Internet gives you access to people almost everywhere and also give you the ability to work from almost anywhere. It’s this freedom and the ability to give others this freedom that makes Network marketing great. Using the Internet also reduces the probability that you will be affected by economic problems in your area.

Attraction Marketing 101

The system of Attraction Marketing that I use has four primary functions. It brings individual who are already interested in your business to your website. It also qualifies these prospects through a series of steps. In the process it can produce income for you even if they do not become involved with your primary MLM business. The most important function of this system is personal branding. You provide valuable information and content to your leads and you do it at no cost to them. This establishes you as an expert in your field. It develops trust and credibility. Network marketing is still a personal business but now most of the relationship is virtual on the Internet. This system of drawing qualified prospects and defining you as an expert will explode your business and your bank account.

The elements that make up the system create awareness of you and sell your product. So, your job becomes selling the system and letting the system sell the products.

I prefer to use my personal blog as the focal point of my marketing system. There are other structures depending on your products and business that are also effective. I utilize a number of methods to attract potential associates to my material. The following is a list of tactics used to bring people to your site.

Free

Content/Article Marketing Forum Marketing Free Classifieds Social Media: Facebook, My Space, Twitter, etc. Video Marketing Blogging

Paid

Pay Per Click (PPC), Google et al Solo Ads List Builders Paid Classifieds Other paid Advertising

I recommend you include one last element to the system. I have a program that trains and provides the tools so almost anyone can duplicate this system. It really is the finishing touch to an already elegant system.

Your business and bank account will explode when you begin attracting qualified prospects, establish yourself as a leader, and teach them to do the same.

Wishing you personal and professional success!
