How We Took Over the Magnetic Sponsoring Community
and How You Can 'Steal' the Exact System We Used
to Achieve Financial Freedom with Better Networker

 

"Great stuff, man. You should be charging for content like that."
                                       - Mike Dillard   

 

Around this time last year, I was sitting in my office watching MLM System Formula on my computer after having purchased it via the first limited release of the course.

The course was a recording from Mike's first ever live seminar and came with a bonus Flip Video camera so I could send Mike a testimonial when I was done studying it.

Aside from it being a fantastic course for the leaders of leaders in this industry, he revealed something to the attendees (and to anyone that bought the course) on what was coming in the next for months for Magnetic Sponsoring.

Three months before Magnetic Sponsoring 3.0 had launched, I got a sneak preview into the new system and gained some insight into the mind of a master marketer. (Mike is a margarita drinking genius, btw.)

MLM Social Network?

Mike also shared plans about his intention to launch the biggest and baddest social network ever created for the Network Marketing industry. Immediately, I started thinking of the potential of a large social network, which exclusively caters to home business owners.

We had done quite a bit of marketing on MySpace and other social networks, but the frustrating thing about those places is that you had to sort through a lot of "coal" and deal with a bunch of spammers.

Bottom line is that the major social networks are not targeted audiences for what we have to offer -- whether it's an opportunity, training or products.

However, our marketing efforts on MySpace and other places forced us to really set ourselves apart in a sea of crap, spammy crap and crap thinly veiled as pseudo-crap.

So when Mike shared that he intended to turn Magnetic Sponsoring into a social community... I was sooooo game!

We've been through 'Web 2.0 Hell' on MySpace, and we were ready to kick ass again.

Magnetic Sponsoring Launches October 2007

When the Magnetic Sponsoring Community went live in Oct. '07, as other networkers wandered aimlessly through the site and started throwing crap up in the form of articles, videos and forum posts... I simply went into the community and started observing...

I didn't interact for a few days and just kinda got a feel for how the site worked and what others were doing. I was studying the behavior of the majority, which was both interesting but a little concerning.

Fortunately, my concerns were alleviated when leaders such as Jim Yaghi, Shiraz Khan and David Schwind quickly emerged as the marketing authorities on the forums.

These were the guys I wanted to get to know...

Well, after studying what was going it was time for me to take action.

So What Did I Do First?

I started doing the exact opposite of what everyone else was doing... I simply started teaching. I shared a year's worth of study, research, courses, the internet marketing work for Hwa Rang Do and $50,000 in investment Raymond and I had poured into our growth as business owners.

At first, I didn't make any big waves.

I was just focused on adding value and NEVER once promoting my opportunity.

Even my signature pointed to our website, where people were able to get even more FREE training on internet marketing through AMF.

I don't think Raymond and I were even selling our AMF course yet. We were just giving away what was practical to give away via articles on the MS site and via email newsletters to our list.

"SEO A-Bomb" Video

Then one day in the middle of November, I decided to conduct an experiment and see if I could attract some of the leaders that had established themselves on the community.

I turned on the Flip Video camera which I got when I bought MLM System Formula and recorded a video of me discussing the topic of SEO. Particularly, I discussed some pretty advanced and powerful concepts on something called Silo Structures and the Co-occurrence Matrix, ( a La Theme Zoom).

I posted the video on the community and started a thread on the forum titled, "Google Search Algorithm Cracked?"

The first response I got on the forum was from none other than Mike Dillard:

That's all the social proof I needed. The responses to that forum thread started coming from Tim Erway, Jim Yaghi, David Schwind, Shiraz Khan among many other members.

That video and the discussion on that forum was an instant hit, and quickly became the most viewed forum thread in the entire community and continues to be 'til this day.

What was even more interesting was that for the first few days, the only people commenting on that thread were the top leaders in the industry.

I think back now to the community's reaction to that video and it really seemed like everyone who had been spamming their opportunity had been frozen in their tracks, not really understanding why with one video I was able to get the attention of so many great leaders.

My experiment had worked. I specifically posted that content to attract the top leaders in the community and it ended up getting the attention of the world's top authority on internet network marketing.

Eventually, Raymond joined me on the MS Community and we became a real dynamic duo, producing valuable content for everyone to read for free. Helping thousands of entrepreneurs with their marketing and literally posting thousands of dollars worth of advice, on the forum at no charge.

Continued with Quality and Value

From that point on, Raymond and I continued to post quality content on the Magnetic Sponsoring Community, we developed a system for marketing on the site and we continued to make a name for ourselves.

Amazingly, a few days after I posted the SEO video I was on the phone speaking to Mike Dillard and Tim Erway as to how we could help them with SEO on the site as well as teaching to the MS Community on a more official basis.

Wow! To think that only a year before, I was listening to MLM Traffic Formula LIVE in my bedroom and learning from Mike, Tim and Tom just like everyone else who had purchased the course, wondering if this stuff would really work.

Our AMF brand flourished as a result of this exposure and we became the authorities on the topic of SEO in this industry, (we actually know a lot more than just SEO). ;)

Fast forward a few months later and on May 2008, Raymond and I led 100 networkers in the first (and only) MLM Traffic Formula LIVE Workshop in Austin, TX.

It was Mike's MS brand, but he stepped aside and allowed us to lead the event, develop the content and run the show. It was a huge success and now we are living the life we had dreamed of since we got started in this industry 3 years ago.

A month before the live workshop, Ray and I walked out of our corporate jobs and retired from the Aerospace Industry and left behind a cushy $80,000 per year J-O-B in exchange for our freedom and time to make a real impact in this industry.

Now It's Your Turn

Now I know I've gone on for a while sharing our story with you, but it's for a reason.

We started from nothing and used the power of social networking to achieve all this. And we did it by providing value to the MS community and following what Mike taught us via his Magnetic Sponsoring courses.

Well, now Mike has decided to start all over again, build from scratch and recently launched BetterNetworker.com (replacing the Magnetic Sponsoring Community).

Powerful new features in this community now offers a ton of potential for even the newest person in this industry, an easy to use interface and a goldmine of opportunity to expose people to your business, when use correctly.

Ray and I wish to be your guide through this process and help you achieve the results you desire. Right now, there are only two things you need to do, neither of which will cost you any money:

1) If you haven't done so already, click on BetterNetworker.com and create a profile, (if you already had a Magnetic Sponsoring profile, use your same username and password).

2) Then after you have a profile, join our 'Better Networker Results' Mastermind Group for FREE.

Via this group on BetterNetworker.com, we'll be providing you with the very best advice and strategies to make the most out of your efforts and participation in this new cutting edge community.

Along with learning from us, you'll be encouraged to take action and share your results with only this small group of entrepreneurs so everyone can learn and use your successes to establish yourself as a leader in this industry.

Better Networker Inner Circle - By Invitation Only

After a few weeks, we'll be selecting the highest performing members to become a part of a private group called the 'Better Networker Inner Circle'.

All content, advice and memberships will be kept strictly private.

This is where we will share the exact system we initially developed to make a name for ourselves in the Magnetic Sponsoring Community, and work together as a team to apply that marketing system to the new Better Networker Community to achieve the results you want for your business.

If you still dont' believe that we are capable of producing some awesome results, check out this list when I searched for "magnetic sponsoring" on Google, today:

In SEO, there is something called an 'indented listing'. Through our work on the community and posting of content, we managed to get my profile listed in the search engines right under the Magnetic Sponsoring listing.

Unfortunately, since the MS community is no more, we'll have to start all over to produce similar results. But we're not worried... we look forward to the challenge.

Join Us!

So in conclusion, go get your profile then join our little mastermind group, and get to work. is

We've posted some articles within the group area, so you can start learning proper way to use the BetterNetworker.com community to grow your business.

You can also get free training at BetterNetworkerProfits.com, which includes links to every article we've ever published, and info on other resources.

Enjoy the gifts!

Hope there's room for slow bloomers

Hey Ferny. I do hope there's room for slow bloomers in the Inner Circle as some of us are working on that "balance" in life... :-)

Thanks

Fernando,

I am new to Better Networker.  I immediately noticed your presense and wondered, "who is this guy?"

After reading some of your articles and especially this one, it's very interesting to hear your story.  I will be looking forward to learning from BetterNetworkerProfits and your mastermind group.  Thanks much.

One Stop for Pros

Thank you for pointing out the importance of putting valuable articles and information in this community.  I think that is why the major pros in the industry are here and take this as a serious place to be spending their time.  I also think that people look to Mike Dillard and the magnetic sponsoring/betternetworker to be the first with information and insight and you want to know the people here.  Thank you Ferny!

Pamela Glowski — Tue, 08/26/2008 - 11:32am

Thanks

Ferny,

Thank you for sharing your formula with the rest of us beginners. It is great to have such eager-to-help mentors in an industry where most are out for themselves. Well done!

And as a side note, I happen to know first hand that you are a tequila drinking genius... or was it Jack?

Tasty Margaritas...

LOL! I'll take what is offered, but tequila is my preference :)

Although your sponsor (who will remain nameless, unless people click on your ad on the home page) has shown me the light with regards to tasty and fruity margaritas.

Seif?

Hmm. Yet more proof of the relationship between margarita's and world domination!

I recall watching your SEO video when it was first posted and thinking, "wow, I can understand this"! A dummy like me actually 'knew' what you were saying?

Couldn't do anything with it at the time, because I couldn't create a website, didn't know how to do keyword research, etc, etc. But I saved it in my favourites  (along with all your others, btw, Yes I am that fan) ready for the day, when I did know that stuff!

And it stopped me being scared of techno-babble, got me motivated on reading and learning more information on SEO, made me go out and learn about websites and keywords, got me fooling around with all kinds of techie stuff...all from one video.

Information like this is what makes BetterNetworker such a valuable community because it's information like this that makes us BetterNetworkers! You just can't get it anywhere else folks.

Better Networker Community

Excellent article. Thank you for sharing these valuable points on how to be not only a better member of this community but a better leader -which is exactly what I want to learn.

Simone Hardy — Wed, 08/27/2008 - 8:59am

Learn, Implement, Give...

It's as simple as sticking around the community, asking questions, learning, implementing then giving back to everyone here.

That's the formula for success here!

-Ferny

Ferny Ceballos — Wed, 08/27/2008 - 9:53pm

Giving IS where it's at

Ferny,

I, too, thank you for your fresh approach.  I'm brand new to the group and am so excited about this group and BetterNetworker as a whole. 

I am here to learn, but as a former teacher also understand that when we teach something -- giving out -- we learn ourselves. 

Giving feels great, but boy, would I love to cash in big time as a result, too.

Kathi Peters — Thu, 08/28/2008 - 8:24pm

Are you watching

Ferny:

 

As much as you give great value and show people the "proper" way to play in this forum, I am still amazed at the folk who continue to write articles and make videos that are STRAIGHT pitches.

 

Hello!!!!!!!! Anyone home?  We are here to teach and learn from each other there is a pitch section so go THERE!

 

Michele

p.s. thanks for letting me sound off lol

A large open forum that breeds success.

You are a kind netizen. The more and more time I spend on the Internet and reading my email the less time I want to follow other so called mentors. I have been reading Mike D.s' material and trying to put together my websites for months now. Being a part of this online community  is exciting knowing it's education at its best.  I am getting better  at recruiting and understanding on how all this Internet marketing works. Gradually I can see myself carving out a new livelihood. Thanks for what all you guys are doing. You have life long friends and customers here. I am so glad to be in the arena with YA'LL.

Thanks, Eddie L.

Good stuff. I am a little

Good stuff. I am a little confused on how you make money. If the info you give away is helping someone grow their existing business why would the stop that progress to join what you are doing? Did they not have an existing downline of substance? I am sure you supply great information. Mike provided me great information but since I have a downline in the thousands in one of my companies I will never stop it to go sell whatever Mike is selling. Do you have an affiliate program or something or do you just consult for a fee?

Eddie Holford — Sun, 09/14/2008 - 1:27am

good question...

Hey Eddie,

That's a good question. There are many ways to make money:
1) Funded Proposal - prospects buy your training at various price levels, which help their business
2) The are doing well with their company, but want to get paid more for the time they spend, so they may join you both for your leadership and a better opportunity (people rarely will join just for a better opportunity)
3) Their MLM company severely restricts advertising and lead generation online, so they get fed up and look for a talented leader to join with a company which is more progressive.
4) Problems with their upline. If there's not a good business relationship, they will want to leave.
5) They succeed in their company, but the company goes belly up one day and they lose their business. Because you've established that relationship and they are familiar with how you market, it's natural for them to join you.
6) If you do direct sales, someone in MLM may want to switch over to the direct sales business model because it pays bigger checks upfront and is heavy on the marketing & systems and lighter on the large team building.

I'm sure there's more reasons. Bottom line is the more relationships and people you help, the more that will comeback later on.

Great information!

I am starting to feel like a BetterNetworker junkie- so much awesome information- and it is easy to see that you are one of the leaders on this site- for good reason.  Not only is the information you provide knowledgeable but it makes you think about it even after the fact.

Thanks!

Jen Patton — Sun, 09/14/2008 - 11:17am

This article made me smile...

...because long before I read it, I had made the decision to spend a lot of time here developing my network before I ever posted a single URL or made any reference to what I am "selling." It's good to know that my instincts were correct. Hopefully, by the time 2010 rolls around, I'll be right up there with you and Raymond, Mike, Tim, Tom and the others as a true "guru." Besides, we wouldn't want anyone to think it was an "old boys club" now would we?

;)

Inner Circle

I agree with Pamela Glowski when she stated: "I hope to make it to the inner circle one day...I know I have a lot left to share and to learn...but I'll get there!"

Obviously there are many upcoming Networking Stars who want to be involved in the "Inner Circle." Me included! I agree with the likes of Ferny, Mike, and others who claim that a goal to Networking success is about learning more "skill sets," and that knowledge has power. 

Especially if you're new to networking, one of the most demanding element in learning skill sets is the time it takes to learn them, determine which one(s) works for YOU, and then try to implement what you've learned while "earning a living."

I WILL SUCCEED! I am legally-blind and have to do things in TWICE the time. Hence, 14 yrs. of school. However, if you want to get FREE, as I do, you do what you have to. As you've probably heard it said, "Knowledge + Action used consistently over time  = RESULTS!" (something like that).  

I don't want to just learn to earn a living...that's what my 14 yrs. of education and degrees got me. I want to be FREE!! Free to make choices, spend time with family, give funding to our church ministries, clothes for the vagrant on the street, and HOPE to a world dying without HOPE & HELP!

I strongly desire to get involved with the "Better Networking Inner Circle!" I'm just waiting for the leaders to make up their mind to invite me.

Well I'm totally new to network marketing through the internet. It will be very great if someone could just tell me what to do in a step-by-step fashion in order to generate leads online. I'm hearing about a TREMENDOUS number of courses, trainings, videos, web 2.0...etc that claim that they would teach you how to do so for free, but once you sign up for the information you find nothing but being inserted into a prospecting cycle.

 

lol i've almost exhausted all my e-mails but up until now I don't know what are the steps to generate leads online.

 

Thanks

What about Christmas? Haha, I guess I qualify for a top prize. But sometimes you have to pay the price, right? Great article, Ferny. I'm kind of new to all this, but I hope to learn a lot from you. To begin with, I'm just being myself here. Thanks!

This is so Refreshing!

Just been over on my twitter page.  It's like a minefield over there.  Trying to sort through all those messages from people you don't know, who just want to tell you what they ate for breakfast -- heck, it's hard work!

The content on BetterNetworker is top-of-the-line.  No sifting through people trying to coax you to click on an URL that takes you to a different place than they said they were taking you to.

There's a lot to learn about being a successful internet marketer and the members here on BetterNetworker are truly happy and willing to share their knowledge with others for free.

This is a display of the Law of Abundance which says that there is enough of everything to go around in this World.....enough money, enough food, enough good health, enough positive relationships.  You name it and there is an abundance of it.  There is certainly truth in the Bible verse that says 'there is more happiness in giving than receiving' but the Bible also tells us that if we give with a willing heart we will reap a hundred fold in return.  This doesn't fail.  It works every time.

So I truly thank everyone on this site for their unselfishness.  You are all great!!

New to Social Networking yet see HUGE Advantages

I am just getting started in this new world and between this one and some others I can also say that the content in this one is so far SUPERIOR from others with information that you can use. I just got done with listening to those 3 video's Mike D. and Mark W. put out and they have a ton of information in them like to pick and chose WHO you want into your Team and to go with people that you know are Motivated besides picking certain ones in whatever level you decide to want them to be in like the Higher levels I think was a GREAT piece of advice and someone more seasoned in internet marketing.  You may not get as many into your TEAM, but your Team will Shine with this method!!!

I do think if you are new this is a whole new magical world that you have discovered right here on BN and thanks to all that are posting this Amazing talent for others to learn from.
