Create A Web Presence That Brings People to You Attraction marketing has really come into its own on the Internet. Concepts like preselling, qualified leads and target audience have entered the conversation.
Every good internet entrepreneur wants to get hip to this idea and put it to work in their home business.When you learn the concepts of attraction marketing, and implement them, you can stop chasing after those people you think are prospective customers. Combining this model with the broad reach of the Internet results in a powerful marketing tool. What happens? People come to you.
Pitching is for Baseball
In today's fast paced, high pitched world, we are inundated by advertising on a daily basis. Ads are on television, the radio and all over the Internet. There are even ads when you go to the movie theater, and on those DVDs you may buy or rent. Our senses have become numb to this type of input. Traditional Marketing When you call Aunt Jane and begin to list all of the fantastic benefits of that nutritional supplement that has changed your life, she may very well feel like she's heard it all before. Is it any wonder that she isn't interested? Aunt Jane is what's referred to as a warm market lead. She's "warm" because you know her. There is a pre-established element of trust. But if she doesn't want what you have, that doesn't matter. After all, she didn't call you. And even if you ask permission to tell her about this new product, Aunt Jane just wasn't looking for it. Cold calling is another traditional technique. As you can imagine, it involves calling people you don't know, probably from a provided - and often purchased - list. Cold and warm markets can produce potential clients or customers, if you are able to successfully navigate the waters. Some entrepreneurs do pursue these markets.

Believe it or not. . . People are not searching for your product or service. What are they searching for?
People Search for Solutions
You don't have to convince someone that they need something when they're already looking for it.If you have a solution for someone's particular problem, and they find you, it just might be a match. This is what Internet marketers mean when they refer to PRESELLING or a
qualified lead.
You make yourself visible for someone who is looking for the solution that you have to offer. And then together: Determine if your solution is a good match for their problem. |
That's attraction marketing. So what do you need to do to attract these potential clients, and create business relationships?
Provide Quality Information
And place that information where anyone who is looking can find it. The Information Superhighway is the perfect venue. When people search the Internet for a solution to their problem, you want them to find your information, and via that pathway, find YOU. |
When they find you, they arrive interested in what you have to offer. You can attract clients and business partners, without ever donning a sandwich board or pitching to a family member. That's the beauty - and the power - of attraction marketing.
If You Build It, Will They Come?
No, not exactly. Lets unpack this.Lets say you carefully create a website, carefully building it around your niche. You know your
target audience
very, very well. You understand their pain, their needs, their desires. You know how your product or service addresses those needs, solves their problems. You speak directly to your audience, design your website content well, pack your site with valuable information, some of it free. In other words, you offer a lot of value with your site. And then you sit back, waiting for customers, clients, leads to come to you. You may as well get comfortable, because you'll be waiting a very, very long time. Yes, over the months you may get a few visitors to your site. But lets face it. A few visitors is not what you're after. To make attraction marketing work for your business, you must have this, and implement it:
A Solid Marketing Strategy
You must promote your site, and more importantly: BRAND and PROMOTE YOURSELF To do this, you must understand the landscape of
Internet marketing
and take full advantage of it. This does not mean you need to "do it all." It does mean that you need to study and learn about the various marketing venues and types. Know the Territory Do your research. Understand which marketing techniques are working and which fit best with your niche. The sands can shift and change on the Internet. What's hot one year may be yesterday's news the next. |
That can be scary and frustrating, or it can be challenging and exciting. I prefer to embrace the challenge, and continually rediscover the excitement in what I do. So when you're building your business on the Internet, if you: • engage in today's marketing
• with attraction marketing techniques
• and continue to offer quality information |
Then they will come.
