:) Hi Everyone,

Whatever Mike Dillard says is always an eye opener.

It's true that trying to master all these marketing techniques,
PPC, Blogs, Videos, Social & Business Networking, etc. is really
time consuming and really isn't worth the time put in as far
as sales or building a downline goes. It's downright exhausting.

The best trend I've seen since I've been networking since
1999, is that people are coming together more and forming
teams and joining social and business networking programs,
mainly not to be alone in cyberspace, but also as protection
from some of the scams that are out there. Most importantly
to learn from each other and to help each other.

Magnetic Sponsoring will help us to learn how to communicate
with others and to learn how to develop meaningful networking
relationships with the people in these networks.

The other trend is, I think from people reading Mike's book,
is that there are a lot of programs with a "system" that your
team can join and duplicate to build downlines in different
advertising sources e.g. safelists, traffic exchanges, marketing
tools, and having their particular business links all in one place.

A good "niche" business would be Magnetic Sponsoring and all
the related products because this is what is really needed by
everyone online who wants to be successful.

These "Magnetic Sponsoring" skills will always be with us and
will enable us to be successful in whatever we choose to do.

:) Thanks Mike!

Claire

Wow that just gave me a whole new insight into print advertising.

Expanding my marketing efforts is a big goal for me. However tracking is also number 1 and taking the time to master each skill individually.

I was eventually wanting to venture off into print ads, but I never considered full page advertorials or interviews....that makes alot of good sense and seems much more profitable for the marketing dollar.

There is always a gold nugget to be found every where! I am adding that to my 2008 marketing plan layout.

Thanks Mike.

Thanks Mike - you are right - now that I am half way though the course I see what you mean.

I was carrying the old way and now I see the new way - PPC and ADWORDS are the way to go .

AS my wife says " Gary you paid for the course -- so do what they say " I have to agree you guys are the ones who have the flashlight of success - I will follow the road in the Headlight.

Thanks Mike for your answer - I must let as many people in the World know what you have given to us.

Thanks again

Gary

Mike,

I just read your 3 part report on the future of networking.

Man! for someone who's just getting started in online marketing, the litany of concepts and skills one has to acuire, as spelled out in part 2, is daunting to say the least. It certainly sets a high first hurdle and is more than enough to turn away the faint of heart, and the downright lazy.

I guess I'm in that proverbial 20% (personally, I think it's more like 5% or possibly less) because I'm up for the challenge. I can't get enough of this education stuff!

Mike, you're a dynamo. How do you keep coming up with this great content?! Your loyal followers, myself included, greatly appreciate the level of excellence in training you're able to provide. You must have a stellar team helping you behind the curtains. Kudos.

Thanks for your leadership. God bless.

May we all have a phenomenal 2008!

P.S. I just got my first sale for Magnetic Sponsoring. Woo Hoo! She was one of my first 4 sign ups which took only 12 clicks on AdWords. At less than 40 cents per click that means for less than $4 I got paid $20 and have 4 people I can follow up with.

Not only did that pay for my MS campaign so far, it also covered the clicks for my squeeze page for my opportunity in that same time period. I hope that trend continues.

P.S.#2 If any of you reading this haven't read "The Four Hour Work Week" by Timothy Ferriss you'd better get your hands on a copy soon. It spells out in great detail how to outsource and run a completely automated business as you run things while on vacation. Or as the auther calls it, "mini retirement".

Excellent! I couldn't agree more. Of course, part of me is saying, "Whaaaa, I just got started and now I have to learn more???? than just a capture page, free gifts etc."

And that is perfectly OK.

Mike, Tim, and everyone at Magnetic Sponsoring - You ROCK!
Keep up the good work...I'm modeling you.

Wow, what a great report! You're right ~ it's hard to keep up. A year ago, I was hearing about web 2.0 and working on it. Mike's post is actually the first time I've read about web 3.0

My goal is always to stay ahead of or at least at the front of a new trend. So, if web 3.0 is it ~ well, then I'm in!

I am both new to the industry as well as to this online community. While typing I am reminded how this very act is taking me out of my comfort zone. You see, I have NEVER participated in as much as a chat line, I don't even like to sit on the phone for a lengthy conversation, Webinars are slowly becoming tolerable to me. Shhot! ceating my profile was a total milestone. Never the less, I am a propopnent for leveraging time and helping others thru our talents, gifts or whaterver one calls it, if it's not shared;it benefits no one.

The material and vision shared freely by those in this forum is very encouraging. Change is GOOD. It forces individuals to pick up the pace. As these changes come about, I am confident that the MSLeaders will continue to nurture our apetite for personal growth and serve as beacons of light in the dark and desolate arena of personal develpment. As we come out of our cocoons and onfold our wings, we will begin to see beyond our self-created boundaries.

I've heard it said- "courage is daring to take that first step, or a different path. It is the decision to place your dreams above your fears."


Thanks Mike and Friends...thank you ALL.

Hi Nando,

Welcome to the forum! :)

And congratulations on stepping out of your comfort zone. You are already ahead of the crowd.

All the Best,

Mark

Its very true. Network marketing is changing. It no longer matters what you offer...it really matters if you can provide value to those who are seeking opportunities. Many people have no idea what they are buying into..its mostly the hype they buy. This is where web 2.0 and branding come into play. It is very important to position yourself before you try and sell anything. You need to create value to the prospect and show them you are the one to follow.

The game done changed...
