I’ve been pondering on whether it’s possible for those new to the online business world to actually grasp the teachings of Mike’s Magnetic Sponsoring System. And I’m pretty much convinced that it’s not.
I work a lot with newbies. I guess because I’m so new myself. No stories here of struggling for years, living on the breadline, pawning my furniture and at risk of being evicted from my home… Nope, sorry to disappoint those that think you have to come from such a background in order to have actually learned anything worth passing on.
I’d been struggling for about a year before I got my hands on Magnetic Sponsoring. But my struggles were related to the time it was taking, the number of hours I was spending surfing Traffic Exchanges and reading Safelist ads – all so that I could get enough credits in the hope that some other struggling newbie would see whichever latest ‘great thing’ I was promoting and sign up.
Now maybe it was an age thing (ok, so I’m a lot older than most of you guys, but don’t ask cos it’s rude!) but I did actually get it when I read MS. However, I’ve seen far too many who don’t. Which is why I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not really a ‘newbie’ thing.
Newbies tend to see it as a way to make money instead of seeing it as an actual training manual that they should read and put to use. They think ‘attraction marketing‘ comes from the fact that Magnetic Sponsoring uses some of the most highly converting capture pages that will mean visitors won’t be able to resist signing up and buying the product so that they can make money too.
Or they assume that telling folks, “Hey, I’m a leader, come join my team”, will be enough for them to really be seen as a leader that people will want to be led by.
And I have to admit, the set up of Magnetic Sponsoring (and just about every other training system out there) is designed so that they immediately tell you to go out and start promoting the product, so that you can ‘earn while you learn’. The trouble is, newbies don’t seem to go for the learning as much as they do the earning.
It’s only once you’ve struggled with this jumping from programme to programme and buying every ‘must have’ product out there that you begin to realise (if you’re smart) it doesn’t work and there must be something missing. The enthusiasm and belief in ‘getting rich quick‘, hasn’t yet turned to frustration and pain.
So the thought of actually taking time out from earning, and instead learning how to become attractive to others, just isn’t in their radar.
And it seems there isn’t an easy way to explain it. Or if there is, I’ve yet to find it. Sure, The Insider Report gives a good breakdown of the different secrets you can pick up, no matter what your level is at the moment. And judging from the e-mails I’ve recieved it goes a long way to helping the newbies understand the power of Me.inc but there are so many newbies who don’t have access to the report and so end up buying the manual, and then not using it in the way it was intended.
Let’s get something straight. Magnetic Sponsoring is so called because it’s based on the principles of attracting people to you, instead of you going out and hunting for them. With that in mind, it stands to reason that you have to become attractive enough for them to actually want to search you out and ask about your business/product/programme.
And what makes you attractive is what you can do for other people. If you can teach them something about how to grow their own business, if you can show them how to create a website, how to get traffic, how to talk to prospects or where to get the best tools for the lowest prices… if you actually have something worthwhile to offer someone, then you’re more likely to have people chasing you looking for the answers they can’t find anywhere else.
But this is the sticking point for newbies. They don’t know how to do any of this stuff and the time taken to learn it, is time they can’t then spend surfing for credits on the Traffic Exchanges and Safelists? So until, they’ve already learned that those actions aren’t going to make them rich, then no amount of training, (even training as good as Magnetic Sponsoring) will get them to move on.
