Attraction Marketing and your Home Business

Friday, November 21 2008

By now you've probably heard about "Attraction". You know, the "Law of Attraction" from the movie and book "The Secret". Much of subject matter centers around the concept of Attraction based marketing and on broader ways to use Attraction to get what you want. If this all seems 'mystical' to you, it's really very simple as it applies to a home based business. It boils down to being clear on what you want and focusing on attracting what you want. One of the criticisms about the movie "The Secret" is that it makes it seem like you can just wish for things and they'll somehow just appear.

There's really a bit more to it. I mean sometimes it might work like that, but most of the time when you want to attract something (like customers), you'll have to take some sort of action to go along with your focus. Attraction Marketing as it applies to a home based business would then have the added caveat that you need to take some action. Actions you could take might include such things as starting a blog, doing press releases, doing something newsworthy, speaking at events, sponsoring community events, and so forth.

So it's really not mystical at all, it's just good business sense. Got any attraction based marketing ideas to add to that list? Post them as comments - thanks.

I liked the ideas you portray on the law of attraction, and let me reiterate that it isn't mystical it's practical. I've only had my home business for days and I've already got a return of $100 dollars and I've only been acting, I haven't even started visualizing and feeling great about it, which will turbocharge what I want out of this business.

I have a blog, www.workathometen.blogspot.com, it reiterates how the law of attraction is moving me from hauling gas to being my own creater of not just my career but the world from my point of view. With the returns I spoke of above, $100 in 4 days, using the law of attraction can build up any online business from 1,000,000 different ways plus some. That's the great thing about the law, thing you want can happen different ways any time it's tried.

Attraction marketing is another way of saying to focus on your goals and your actions will naturally follow. Too many new business owners get started without first deciding what they specifically want to accomplish. If you start with the end in mind, you can work backward to figure out the steps to make it happen.
