Hello dear friends, In another thread we have been discussing how when NEW members join here or when someone is NEW to online networking in general, they often do not know how to network and build relationships. The only thing they know is send ads by email, through forums or private messages. THIS DOES NOT WORK. Do YOU read ads that you receive through private messages or direct contact here? A good friend and mentor of mine, Julie Jordan Scott, taught me about "Passionate Marketing" through her teleclasses and private coaching. Julie says... "Marketing is NOT a separate entity; it is part of being who you are and offering ways to be of service to those who are naturally attracted to who you are as a Creative Person. Marketing is making yourself known to as many people as possible to make them aware of what you are doing in as many creative ways as possible - while you are just having a darn good time." Don't you just love that? Read it again... It basically means using the Law of Attraction to attract to you those people who are interested in what you have to offer. These few words can bring great relief to those who think everyone else knows all the secrets for successful marketing, when it really can be as simple as that! Wouldn't you rather have people finding you? Honestly, I practice this principle and I DO have people finding me, calling me, emailing me for information about what I do. I offer a free e-course that will teach you some of these principles of attracting people to you.

Hi Linda I do agree we do have to build relationships by marketing our selfs to some people. But I do not agree that send ads by email, through forums or private messages does not work. In fact I would say 80 % of my sales comes though using ads by email, through forums or private messages. Of course you have to learn to write good ads. In forums it should be your own and not a friends if your promothing your service or product. But advertising is a part of marketing not the other way around. Some people believe that advertising is marketing.It is not! Marketing can include how you answr the phone, to how you dress, what you drive, the way you did play your products and services. The bigest mistake people make that I see is to asume that every product and service is made for the net, it is not. Thus much that is on the net fails becasue it is not a mach for this media. It is the same thing advertising on TV or radio, or news papers. I also do not believe that you have to develop warm fuzzy felling with every customer before you make a sale. If that is the case you better be selling some very high end products and make a big compasion on every sale. Saddly most of what people on the net and network marketing company teach people to do on the net does not work. Most sales comes from impuls buying trigered from 5 areas or needs in our lives. People teaches the buyer are more savie now. That is just not true. More informed, over imformed maybe. We buy becuse we want something/or we see a benefit. But first we have to want it. I do agree with you it is best to have people seek you out. But for newbie, don't hold you breath you will pass out. You have to get your name out their, your product and service any where and any way you can. Once you build some creditabilty in a industry then people may well seek you out. But in the begining you have to be the hound not the fox. I have people email me and call and ask for help marketing. I get paid for this and get some nice perks along the way too. But a few years back it was not like this. I was the hound I was the chaser. I think that is just a learning curve that everyone needs to experience. You can learn form advice and you can also waste a lot of time and money taking it. YES read, listen, research, test, practice, track your results and be your self. That is why most people fail in most MLM businesses they try to be someone else. Duplacate someone that is great on the phone when you are not? That never works. You have to find what works for you.God made you like you are. So take all advice with a grain of salt! Even mine. If it helps you great. God Bless Johnny
