Magnetic Promoting For Tyros

In my home business journey, no resource has had as much influence on my business as Mike Dillard's Magnetic Promoting. In the pages of this ebook I learned a whole new way to approach my network marketing business, by using the principles of attraction marketing. The idea of being pursued instead of being the pursuer made perfect sense to me.


The question that most often comes up with new marketers deals with their perceived lack of experience. The conversation typically sounds something like this: "How can I provide value, if I haven't made any money or sponsored anyone into my business?" Other times the question is phrased this way: "What do I have to offer, I don't know anything?" By putting those questions to rest, any new marketer can leverage the power of attraction marketing in their business and make money online finally.

The first item of value that a beginner can offer is in helping others determine their dreams and goals. Talk about the dreams and goals that brought you into the world of network marketing. Talk about the process you used to establish your goals and the commitments you have made to yourself to ensure that those goals are ultimately reached. Discuss any redefining of your dreams that has taken place. Perhaps you realized that your reason for starting an home business needed to much larger than your initial reason for setting out on this journey.

The next item of value you can offer is in the area of perseverance. Talk with others about those times you wanted to give up and walk away from your business. Share the steps you took to keep yourself in the game

Look Online for Future MLM Partners

With the explosion of the internet, prospecting for MLM customers and downline distributors has become much easier and much more effective, when you utilize the right strategies. Video marketing is another great resource for prospecting. Start by creating a Youtube channel for yourself. Youtube is the primary video resource on the internet, currently logging over 1 billion visits per year to their site. Begin to create regular video content that is of particular interest to your target market. Build relationships with those who send friend requests and those who subscribe to your video channel. Once again the natural outflow of these relationships is discussion about your business and even your products. The opportunities with video are enormous. You could host interviews with people who bring value to the topic of conversation. You could conduct short training segments or motivational pieces. You could even do a product demonstration on camera.


Social media is the obvious starting place for anyone looking to find new lead so they can make money in their network marketing business. Whether you are using Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Linked In, Plaxo or any other social media outlet, the principle remains the same. Each of these social media sites are built around interpersonal relationships. No longer does a network marketer have to guess whether or not their prospects are interested in their products or opportunity. A simple search of keywords will reveal a list of individuals who are interested in those particular topics. The key to using social media is to build relationships. If you are constantly badgering people with your business and website links, you are likely to get banned from the site, and you most certainly will not be growing your business with any degree of success. As you build relationships the conversations will naturally allow you to talk about your business, without appearing pushy. By learning the strategies of MLM prospecting online, not only will you grow your home business, but you will have a lot of fun doing it.
