How do you become a total prospect magnet in your industry? Be You, stand up and be recognized. Here are 16 ways to be set apart from the massive number of competitors in your market.  These attraction marketing strategies from Ann Sieg will help make you and your opportunity or product the chosen way for people to do business.  By the way if you gagged because you see the dreaded mlm or network marketing word some where on this page, this is for you.  If you are not in the direct sales industry pay particular attention to what is being said here because these techniques are definitely not being taught many places outside of mlm, and guess what,  they will work that much better.

One of the biggest keys to doing business online is being unique.  Not blending in with everyone else.  Be a contrarian and shout your individuality from the virtual rooftops.  That is one of the secrets to getting your prospects undivided attention. 

A key point in using attraction marketing is to tap into the universal law of attraction.  Much like gravity this law works unseen, probably mis-understood, and constant whether we “believe” or not.  One of the principles of this law is a very real desire to help others first.  This translates to giving away useful, pertinent information that adds value to your prospect whether they do business with you or not.  Provide free information that can begin to show them how to build a business.

After you give away information keep there attention by specializing in teaching them.  Carve out a niche within social media marketing and become an expert in that area. Spend time and work diligently to become one of the “go to” people in that area.  Some examples are the “Ezine Queen”, become known as the twitter guy or facebook gal. The idea here is to narrow the field just a tad.  You will actually draw more people this way then you would shooting for a wider audience.  The good news…there are a ton of possibilities, micro niches, that one can make money with online from home.

Here’s a list of 16 very specific examples from Ann Siegs “The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto” that should help spark an idea or two. These are from the Ann’s landing page.

These are many of the components of  internet marketing.  Do you have to become proficient in all of these things to get started?  No way.  Pick one. Most of it you will never have to even worry about how to begin to make money.  But do pick a niche that appeals to you, anyone of them has the ability to provide more qualified prospects than you can possibly work. Keep in mind you don’t need to be an expert.  It may even preferable that you are not.  After all an ex is a “has been” and a “spurt” is a drip under pressure.  You simply need to know a tad more than others do.  That really is not as hard as it may seem at first glance.  Remember whatever your level of comfort with computers and the internet that there are a bunch of people flocking to the net RIGHT NOW that know less than you. Cool huh?

 Ok so how do you begin to climb this ladder of becoming more knowledgeable than a few others?  Simple. 

 Read a few blogs, pick out a book or two, a few magazines or ezines and read the material, absorb it, then relay that information to your prospects via blogs, twitter, facebook ect. There are many people eagerly searching for someone who will guide them.  Check out Mike Klinglers mlm network marketing training.  His content is very specific to attraction marketing and he even offers a step by step approach.

Remember there are over 15 million network marketers in the United States and an estimated 53 million worldwide. BIG number. The majority of these people have never turned a profit with there direct sales business.

Do you think it is possible for your website to become a powerful marketing weapon?  Are you interested in building your business with social marketing? Can you separate your website or blog from your competitors so it is immediately obvious you are the person to do business with?  Is it possible to make the advantages of doing business with you so great that clients draw this one conclusion…”I would be an idiot if I did business with anyone else…no matter what the cost.”  I think so.  As I walk through the learning curve of attraction marketing and internet marketing, one of the big challenges we have is determining the level of hype involved in sales letters. Judging by how much money I have paid in “stupid tax” to online vendors my BS detector must be broken.  So how can we tell what is real?  I am still not sure.  Here are a few things that I have figured out.

1- If it sounds to good to be true…it is.  I know we learned that in first grade, but somehow it doesn’t stick when an astute copywriter is pegging all of my emotional hot-buttons.

2- Contact information.  If it is not there don’t buy.  Again this seems to be common sense but so many of the long form sales letters don’t have that information.  Most people think well, I can check this out for the 10 bucks or whatever…if it was 100 or 1000 then I would do a little more due diligence.  Ok sure, but here is a story I have just of late. I hooked up with a trial for $1. Informative sales letter and it hit a niche area I was looking at.  It was a subscription gig and I knew I was not going to buy into the monthly deal.  I plunked down my dollar and in a few days after I could not access the free info, I tried to cancel before the subscription hit.  You guessed it.  No contact info, just a series of blind email addresses.  How much time am I willing to spend to get my 100.00 back because that’s how much it was after the subscription hit 7 days after the trial….  Not much.

3-Affiliates, joint-venture partners or testimonials don’t have decent contact info.  No-brainer.  If there is a product launch and the product or service is over a few hundred bucks, they can afford to take a few minutes for a legit check.  I mean I understand the whole volume and distance thing because Mike Klingler or Jeff Walker could not talk to everyone who wants to talk with him.   I get it.   But somebody in the company should be there at least an affiliate or JV partner who will know the main vendor well.  If you are a one man shop like me…well hire a service for a few hundred bucks I don’t know. At least have a working email address for service.

4-ok, here’s a novel idea.  How about don’t buy from someone you don’t know.  Huh?  Well I mean if it is an expensive product or service surely there is prudence in communicating with that person a few times.  I am not talking about a 100.00 item.  The volume of that is so high you won’t get that chance.  But, again at least an email address.

5-A website or blog.  Gee…I didn’t think of that.  Truly though.  Many times we are introduced to a product or service through a link and an opt-in or squeeze page.  That’s ok.  We have them and they work great.  But still find out more like a blog or a website.  Not that someone cant just bail if they have that stuff.  They can and they do.  It may be a little less likely is all.

Okay so there are a few ways to maybe curb the number of times your hosed.  I mean maybe I am the only guy that has bought anything on hype and been scammed.  Shame on the idiots out there who rip people off.  The web is a great tool. Just remember that ultimately the gold (our list) in this business is not a name, a number or an email address.  It is the person behind that address.  Relationships.  That is the way to build a long term nice residual income.  No different than it has been for a long time. Find a place place to learn step-by-step how to build your business on a budget there are many places to choose from.  So communicate and we will celebrate you baggin your JOB.
