How to Use Magnetic Marketing to Massively Multiply the Results of Your Advertising
It works without fail, every time. It can work with everything you are selling or promoting. It works on the principle of giving before receiving, and of offering more in value than you are getting in cash. Your prospect must perceive an increase for themselves in order to want to interact with you. Magnetic marketing is the technique that does this. Then this same technique is used to convert a prospect to a sale or business partner.
What is magnetic marketing? It is a process of attracting leads to you by offering them something of value first. Using ezine classified advertising and solo ads for an example, don’t try to close the deal all at once by attempting to drive your prospect to your website. Instead, start by giving the targeted prospect an offer they can’t refuse.
Using my own business ad copy as an example, here is an ad I ran before I had put the magnetic marketing technique together for this business that is an example of NON magnetic marketing:
Catch the Buzz – Discover Revolutionary Health and Wealth!
As seen on TV Superfood is now yours to use and make $$ with
Low cost! No personal sponsoring to make money! No minimum!
Weekly Pay, 100% Matching Bonus, 2×7 matrix, Incredible Team

Admittedly, the ad copy is not my best, written off the cuff right when I had started with this new company. However this kind of advertising can and does work, don’t get me wrong! The thing is, it is only a trickle of results compared to the massive results you can get by incorporating magnetic marketing into your business model.
The main problem with this and so many other ads is: they all really want the prospect to get excited and ‘click here’ without offering anything in return to really motivate them.
For about $50 my ad ran and is right now still running to about 6 million ezine subscribers &ndash with an audience that is mostly small business and internet related. I got and am still getting that trickle of results.
Now how about transforming it into a magnetic marketing campaign?
Take that same $50 and micro-target your audience. Since my company pays quite well with retail sales I could find health-related ezines. Then you can either purchase classified ads or solos. Even with a small subscriber base of two or three thousand, you will get a lot of leads and sales. Your new magnetic marketing will now have ad copy reading something more like this:
Did you know Free Radicals Accelerate Aging and Cause Cancer?
Discover everything you NEED to know about the massive damage
they cause, & the most essential antioxidants needed to fight them.
Learn little known secrets of health, anti-aging and disease
prevention in this free e-course: vitalhealthrobotreply.com
(If you like, you can subscribe, the email address and series are real).
What makes this ad now magnetic is that instead of trying to ‘make the sale’ of even driving your prospect to your website right away, your prospect now has the drive to contact you. In doing this, they become your lead.
They want to receive valuable information on a topic that interests them. They are plugged into your autoresponder and at the bottom of each valuable article in the series you send them, you drive them to your website. They now see you as a valuable provider of information and are more inclined to visit your website and do business with you.
Magnetic marketing works in any type of business or niche category. Give it a try. Put together some relevant content and make a valuable series for your prospects to subscribe to. Your business provides the solution to someone’s problem. Create a series of informative articles, reports, or ebooks that provides in depth information on the problem and solution.
Create an ad that addresses that problem, and propels the prospect to obtain the vital information you will give them for free that is the solution to their problem. Apply this to your marketing campaigns – by offering something of value to your prospects your magnetic marketing will massively multiply your advertising responses, leads and sales.
How To Learn Internet Marketing and Make Money From Home
Are you searching for a way to make money from home? Well, if you are at all computer-literate, you should consider an internet-based business.
One of the big advantages of making money with an internet business is that the startup costs required are very small. And it is also something you can start in your spare time, in the evenings or on weekends, while still keeping your day job.
Some of the internet-based businesses you can start may not be as involved as you think.
For example:
1) Sell things on Ebay. A lot of people get started selling things on Ebay that they have around the house and are trying to get rid of. Only after they see how easy this is, they start looking for other things to sell. Soon, they are buying things cheaply and selling them for a profit on Ebay.
2) Create a website and tell about your hobby or interest. How can this make you money? The answer is advertising. Google will pay you money through their Adsense program for running their ads on your website. Every time someone clicks on one of the ads, you make money. And starting a website is easier than ever today, because you can use free blogging software and start blogging with little technical knowledge.
3) Get into affiliate marketing. You point people to the website of a company who is selling a product. Through their affiliate program, the company will pay you a portion of the profits for every product that is sold because of you linking to their website.
These are just a few of the ideas you can use to make money from home on the internet. Just start out with one of these ideas in your spare time, and see where it takes you. Of course, every business takes work and dedication, even an internet business. But the rewards can be tremendous, especially when you look back and see how you have been transformed from a total newbie to an accomplished internet marketer.
How To Classify Your Network Marketing Prospect List – Part 1
Are you new to Network Marketing?
If you are, then one of the first things your sponsor or upline has probably already told you is that you will need to create a prospect list. I explain the reasons why you need to create a list of at least 100 names in another article I’ve written, called “Your #1 Secret Weapon”.
Once you have written your prospect list, it’s time to start approaching the people on your list with your business opportunity. Many people feel that you should just start calling the names on your list.
I have a different point of view. In my experience, I have found that once you have created your prospect list, it’s time to do some “classifying.”
It’s important to understand that by classifying your prospect list, I am not talking about pre-judging, or pre-qualifying people for your business opportunity.
You should not prejudge people, as there is no way you can predict who is going to seize your network marketing business opportunity and use it to transform their lives for the better and who is going to do absolutely nothing with it, despite having shown all the signs of being a potential “hot” prospect.
Also, do not pre-qualify the people on your list. This happens AFTER you have presented them your business opportunity. People will then qualify themselves “in” or “out” of your business. Your job is simply to present them with information, then allow them to make an informed decision as to whether your business opportunity is right for them or not.
Classifying the people on your prospect list is different. You are looking for people that you believe are worth approaching first, because you instinctively feel that they make a great contribution to the growth of your network marketing team.
You will want to classify the people on your prospect list in terms of criteria such as:
Location – Can you drive out to meet them within, say, 45 mins to one hour? Or do they live interstate or overseas?
Character – Are they positive and open to new ideas? Are they coachable and can they follow a system? Are they people who take immediate action when they recognize an opportunity? Do they have a large circle of influence? Asking these questions will help you identify potentially good business partners.
Remember that, as the CEO of your own organization, you will want to recruit the very best team you possibly can find. Classifying your contact list will help you identify other individuals who share your values. I recommend building your “dream” network marketing team with people who have the qualities that you strive for and admire.
Other Criteria – Are there people in your prospect list who are currently involved in another Network Marketing company, or who have previous experience building a multi-level marketing business? This can either be a good thing, as they may already be open to the concept of Network Marketing, or not so good, if they received poor training and experienced lack of upline support in the past and now are carrying some negative feelings or misconceptions about the Network Marketing industry.
The same thing applies to approaching professional salespeople. Some sales-trained professionals may be open to the idea of Network Marketing once they realize that multi-level marketing organizations create their sales volume based on a lot of people using and recommending a little bit of product each, and some may not get the point of Network Marketing at all, preferring instead to continue earning sales commissions through the addition of their individual sales, instead of via the multiplication and leverage of a team of people working together!

Free Online Marketing Strategy
With the free marketing tools that we are going to list and explain here, you can create a whole online marketing strategy that will generate the amount of traffic needed for your website to start generating sales.
This means that you will never have to choose any tactic that requires continuous advertising investments. This does not mean in any way that there isn’t any money to be spent.
The tools that we are going to explain can be implemented either in automatic mode or manual mode. The manual mode proved to be a very time consuming effort that is considered not only inefficient but can also be ineffective sometimes.
The automatic mode on the other hand can really save you a lot of time. A time that you can use to further your knowledge in online business and to keep yourself updated with what is new in the market, which a must in this industry.
Time is not the only advantage of automatic implementation, but listing all the advantages of such implementation will make us deviate from our main objective which is to discuss the tools and tactics that would compose a whole free online marketing strategy.
Choosing the automatic mode means that you will need to buy and use software programs that will enable you to automate the process. Buying those software packages is where the investment lies. I highly recommend you to buy software packages that require only a one time investment rather than a monthly subscription.
Now let us get started with the list of tactics that would give you a free online marketing strategy:
1) Directory and Search Engine Submission: It is recommended to start with this tactic as it is expected that this tactic bring solid and continuous traffic. Yet it needs time to build your position especially within the search engines. When we say search engines, it doesn’t mean that we are talking only about the big names. If you submit your website to the smaller search engines, that can contribute to your position within the big players.
2) Reciprocal Linking: This tactic has gained a little bit of controversy lately. Many prefer one way links rather than exchanging links. I would agree with them, but what could it hurt to follow both tactics? With reciprocal linking you exchange links with other websites. This can really be time consuming if you are not automating the process.
3) Posting in Forums: Posting in active forums has a double impact. Not only you are generating traffic from people clicking your link in you signature line, but also you get one way back links as these forums are open to search engines and therefore, your posts with your signature are listed in those engines.
4) Article Submission: There are numerous directories that accept article submissions which would gain you a huge amount of one way back links to your website. Your priority is to find directories with high traffic and ones that have the ability to distribute your articles to other websites, e-zines, e-mail groups and other kinds of publishers.
5) Pinging: Pinging your Blog and your dynamic pages of your site. If your Blog is hosted on your server as an extension of your website, you can Ping your Blog to update search engines with the new changes. This will encourage search engine spiders to crawl to you Blog and eventually to your website. Also you can create dynamic content on your website by adding articles and news feeds to keep you website fresh with new content. This is something that search engines like and accordingly you can Ping those pages of your website to accelerate the spider crawling procedure.
With the above five pillars of free online marketing strategy you can create full aggressive campaigns to generate traffic and sales without having to spend any money.
Five Ways to Boost Your Marketing Power
Building an online business is not easy, especially
when you are on a very limited budget. As I come
in contact with more people, I realize that numerous
publishers and netpreneurs are overlooking some very
effective free advertising opportunities.
Examples of these opportunities are:
1. Welcome letter for your subscribers – I subscribe to
tons of groups and ezines and am always disappointed
when I get the default welcome letter. Personalize it
by introducing yourself and letting the subscriber know
about your website/business. This is a crucial moment
in that you can start bonding/connecting with the reader
before they even get your ezine.
*Inform them of any specials you might have.
*Tell them your advertising rates and add a testimonial.
*Invite them to your site to utilize the free resources.
*Let them know your email so they can contact you.
*Use some of the space for ad swapping with other
publishers and their welcome letters.
*Add an affiliate product or program review.
2. Goodbye letter for your subscribers – This is your
last chance to get this person back. Make it a good
one!
Thank them for being a subscriber and encourage them
to re-sub. I also have a little message in my goodbye
letter that encourages people to let me know why they
unsubbed.
Example:
Thank you for being a subscriber to the Bulletin.
I am sorry to see you go. If you could take a minute
to let me know why you unsubbed, I would appreciate it.
Please drop a quick note to (put email here)
Thank you.
By doing this you might be able to change their minds
and if not, you could find ways to improve your ezine
for the next subscriber. Remember, always send them
an appreciative thank you note as well.
3. Email Signature – This simple but powerful method
of promotion is unknown to some. By using an effective
email signature, every time your email goes out to
someone, you have free advertising. Join several
discussion groups and message boards to utilize your
sigtag to the maximum.
Example of a email signature:
Warm regards,
Jane Doser
FREE Ecourses – Sign-up for one or all!
(Put link here.)
Build Your Business with Us!
(Put subscribe email here.)
You want to keep your signature fairly short – about
6 – 8 lines. Many discussion groups will have a limit
to the number of lines you can have in your sigtag.
4. P.S. – It has been found that a P.S. is very likely
to get read. Using a P.S. can be quite effective.
Make it short and to the point. A P.S. novel will more
than likely be ignored!
Example:
P.S. Need more subscribers? FR~E Report
(put email or link here)
Then you would have your main message on auto-
responder. Do not just send them a sales pitch. Add
some useful information and resources that will
actually help the reader. This will get you more
credibility, which is extremely important if you want
more customers.
5. Thank you page – An excellent way to get more
subscribers is to get together with a group of fellow
publishers and set up a group subscription page.
Every time someone subscribes to one of the group’s
ezine, the thank you page will come up with a message
something like this:
Thank you for subscribing to the Bulletin. Take this
opportunity to check out more quality ezines. Please
check the ones you wish to receive.
You would have each groups member’s ezine listed with
a short description. This is a very powerful method of
gaining subscribers because the person is already in
a subscribing mood and will most likely check most or
all of the other ezines.
The above advertising opportunities are quite simple,
but simple can be most effective!
Finding the Perfect Home Business Opportunity Online
Are you dying to work from home? If so, you are definitely not alone.

Narrowing down your home business enterprise options

Many people assumed that they would be able to make a living from their favorite hobbies.

For instance, if you have a creative guy and a love to make arts and crafts, you will toughly desire to appear for a home business enterprise on line that allows you to work your passion and to our strengths. However, sometimes you will not be able to create exactly what you want to make it your spare time. Often you will have to follow the specifications of a client, or simply follow the prevailing tastes, even if they do not happen to be your own.
Consider sales when seeking a home business opportunity online
Even if you have never considered yourself a salesperson, you’ll locate that there are many jobs on line that have to do with sales.

Avoiding the scams associated with home business jobs Unfortunately, we have all probably heard of scams associated with many home business enterprises. The Internet has drawn those who would prey on others. Avoid marketing ventures that rely heavily on enrolling other sales personnel. You should also avoid business ventures that require you to adopt aggressive sales tactics. Of course, avoid home business opportunities that require you to pay money upfront for sales kits or other such materials.
Effective or Irritating: The Use of Pop Windows in Internet Marketing
A few years ago, pop-up windows were all the rage in Internet marketing. It seemed that every time one opened a web page they would be bombarded with offers for this or that. It had gotten to the point where surfing the Internet was almost like playing a video game; when the ads would pop-up one would try and close them out before another one came. This is precisely why we have seen the decline in the use of pop-up windows on the Internet today; surfers simply do not even look at the pop-ups anymore. They close the windows out before even reading the ad. Very often, a surfer will even leave your site if there are too many pop-up ads. They simply do not want the hassle of closing those windows while trying to obtain the information that your site has to offer. This information, while valuable, is not as valuable as the surfers time. Studies have shown however, that even with these set backs, pop-up windows are still an effective method of Internet marketing.
Is there some way that pop-up windows can be less irritating and still be effective? Yes! What if the pop ad were seen upon exiting your site instead of
entering? This would allow the surfer to obtain the information that they need from your site, feeling that they were able to come and go quickly without
being hassled by other ads and offers all the while making the surfer happy. You have left the surfer with a positive attitude and therefore are more likely
to respond to the pop advertisement. This is being accomplished more and more by using what is being called pop-under windows. When the surfer comes to your site, the ad is opened discretely behind the your web page. Then, upon leaving your site, after obtaining all the information that they need , will see the ad and therefore be more likely to respond. Since the surfer has the information, he has achieved his objective and is now open to do other things;
ideally respond to the pop under advertisement.
Not all pop-windows are created equally. There are some things that you can do to make your pop-windows, whether pop-up or pop-under more effective. The
pop-window should be easy to “escape” from. If the surfer does not want to see the add, but has a hard time closing it out, they will likely become frustrated and could leave your site all together. You should either use a button to that will allow the surfer to close the window or be sure that the “x” is easily visible. Another good idea is to use a script that utilizes cookies. Cookie will prevent
pop-windows from overloading the surfer since you can decide the frequency of the pop-windows, rather than each time a page is opened. Also be sure that there is no more than one pop-window per page.
When creating a pop-window, you will be asked to fill out a short information form, select the length of cookies, and choose the layout of the pop-window.
When choosing the design of the pop-window, you can increase the effectiveness by creating a large headline that includes benefits that will be most appealing to the customer. You should also consider using incentives and lastly do not ask the customer to read a long and drawn out advertisement. Keep the message simple yet powerful and your pop-ads will be sure to generate profits for your site.
Do You Really Need Your Own Website To Market Online?
This question is for you “newbies” out there. Ok, so you‘ve entertained the thought that you might want to be involved in or at least checkout the wide wide world of Online Marketing! Soon enough the question arises, will I need my own website? Or, does this mean I’ll have to have a website? This may even be expressed with some trepidation.
One of the reasons I’m discussing this question is due to some marketing opportunities being offered on the web or elsewhere that use the pitch: ”no website needed”. What’s the reality here? Are there ways to make money online that don’t require the operator to have a website? Well, yes there are, but after you hear about them you may think they’re not what you were referring to. First,
Trading the financial markets
If you know what you’re doing and have enough trading capital, yes, you can be quite successful trading a market(s) and no you won’t need your own website. I’ll bet you weren’t thinking of this.
Auction selling as in eBay.
As a part time activity it definitely qualifies, As a modest full time activity it might qualify. The truth of the matter is that the most successful auction type sellers usually do have their own websites and online stores.
So, where does the “no website needed” pitch come from? First, it seems to come from sources that have limited experience online themselves and are therefore not credible sources. Next, it seems to come from sources that are using it as a marketing ploy to get the business of persons who are “faint of heart” or only marginally suitable to become online marketers themselves. One could say that it is being used as a sort of “half-truth” bait.
There are online marketing techniques that can be used without a website. However, experience will usually show, that most of these same techniques can be used even more effectively with your own website. Usually, maximum effect, with the least required effort, is what most online marketers are striving for.
Not coincidentally, our FREE 12 hour course, offered below, includes a section with exacting steps and instructions on creating your own website! You could buy a course on web site creation, but why not take ours for FREE? (It’s only one section of our 12 hour course.)
What will your online marketing activities include? Physical products, info products, products or services offered as an affiliate? All of these will have greater profit opportunities if you have a website that you control to promote your online marketing efforts. My best advice is to seek out the skills you need for online marketing and GO FOR IT! The rewards are well worth it.
