Hi Breanne,
Here is one for you. How about the difference in the way the two marketing models feel for the marketer. You know, the traditional hard sell methods and the ensuing feelings, compared to the relaxation of the attraction marketing. I know people are different so I can only speak for myself. I much prefer to have people call me, knowing full well that I have a marketing system that can bring them traffic, so they need what I have to offer. That position is far more enjoyable for me than chasing anything. I don't like how it feels to chase anything including prospects. Put another way, it feels good to be attactive and pursued, rather than needy and wanting. You get it, thanks for the posts, they are always great.
Keep On Marketing

Attraction marketing, is Breanne! Am i the only one in here who thinks she's HOT? Ok, Branne, i know that was probably NOT what you intended when you posted, but it does prove a point. If a woman is attractive, men will be attracted to her. Same is true vice versa. My point is, if we are attractive as an industry, prospects will be attracted to it. If we are attractive as a marketer, prospects will be attracted to us. It's not your "best ever most superfantastic revolutionary" product, nor is it your "highly profitable, patented, unbelievable and nobody else's comes close" compensation plan that people want to join. It's you, Plain and simple.
How does one become attractive. Lots of good ideas have bee thrown around in here and other forums. To me it all boils down to a couple of things.
1. Integrity - do you come accross as someone who is sincere? Are you being honest, being yourself with your prospects, or are you trying to come off as something you are not? Do you tell the truth about you and your business, etc.
2. Branding - People are naturally attracted to a leader, and Alpha, an expert, say it however you will, and they will follow him or her. Are you a leader, do you have value to offer to people that can make their lives better. Are you a Network Influencer?
Some of us are naturally gifted leaders, some are not. Leadership traits can be learned. It takes practice, but you can learn to lead. Integrity is about who you are on the inside. I suppose a person can change a character trait, with vigillance and effort, but it's not easy, and there are lot of cheesy people associated with network marketing, especially online, where you can hide behind a computer.
So, there's my two cents worth, my appologies Breanne, for the opening, a little shock effect, you know.

Thanks PMHayes for the compliment. You are very right that I was not going there when I posted this. LOL 
Being an attractive person is not hard to do. Like you said it is the personality that comes through with integrity. To be the most attractive you really need to just be yourself so that people can get to know the real you. Brand yourself as the real you. You never want to fake it till you make it and you should never want to fake it at all. When you brand yourself online, you are stepping into a leadership role and that is what will help you gain success online. It may be uncomfortable for some people in the beginning like it was for me, but I would definitely suggest to anyone to step out of their comfort zones and take some risks. That has made a huge difference in my business and life.

This is an interesting thread with very well-articulated points of view. As I followed the discussion, I wondered how many online marketers are getting caught up with attraction marketing as the next breakthrough, and are really missing the point.
The attraction marketing description tends to be used, almost exclusively, in conjunction with social networking and video-heavy sites which comprise the so-called Web 2.0 phenomenon. But in a broad sense, one could accurately apply the "attraction marketing" tag to ANY form of marketing that delivers.
If you use SEO, PPC, write articles or post in forums, the aim is to attract a particular type of prospect. The catalyst will be the value of your forum posts, the style and usefulness of your articles, the appearance and usability of your website, and the many other subliminal elements that you include in your marketing campaigns to attract customers.
These soft sell tactics help you to establish trust and credibility, which puts prospects at ease and influences them to do business with you. The relationships that evolve can be mutually beneficial for years.
Isn't that what we are all striving for anyway?
My point is that EVERY form of marketing needs to contain an attraction element if it is to be effective, and we shouldn't overlook that fact amidst the hysteria created by this latest label.

A8ch you hit the nail right on the head. I am sure that there are some people that just throw the name around using it like you were talking about. But those who truly understand the meaning of the way an Attraction Marketer does things is a little different. The attraction is in all elements that you put out on the web and in the relationships you build. Also the way an Attraction Marketer thinks carries into their everyday lives and not just the business. Not to say that other ways are wrong, but for me after I learned about Law of Attraction and started implementing the mindset into my business is when I learned about Attraction Marketing, and have enjoyed building my business much more ever sense.

I was about to give up at online network marketing until I found the program I now use. It has helped me tremendously!!! Attraction marketing is not only worth the time, it's absolutely essential to make it online, that's my opinion!! It's the only thing that's helped me. When you have a program that teaches you step by step, even using videos, it's very easy to succeed!!! Even for complete newbies !!

Good points Hermas. I think we can even take this a step further. Attraction marketing doesn't stop once the prospect joins your business. In fact, it's just the beginning. I liken it unto a marriage. I didn't stop courting my wife when we got married, and i still continue to do so to this day! We go on dates, i buy her flowers, I exercise and try to stay fit, I don't dress like a slob around the house, etc. Point is, I continue to try to make myself attractive to her. It's no different in business, really. Your comment on relationships for years to come is just my point, here.
And that brings me to another equally important point. I don't just want anyone and everyone in my company. I won't turn anyone down, of course, but i focus on the ones who really want it, who follow each and every bit of advice I give them, who listen to me, learn from me, follow me, and duplicate what I do. In short, I focus on the Doers, not the talkers. Now, I don't ignore the others, but i reserve my best for the best, my time, my energy, my knowledge, and so forth. And, by the best, i don't mean the ones with the most money. I started this thing on a shoestring budget, but i had heart, desire, and i worked my you know what off! I stayed (and still do) in constant contact with my upline, soaked up everything they had to teach me, and i followed the plan.
That's what i mean by my best for the best. I don't expect people to do any more than i do, but I darn sure don't expect less! Relationships, that's what this business, truthfully any business, is all about!

Personally breanne, I prefer to give up time than money. Atrraction marketing works and helps me build any and every business I choose.
