When I started in network marketing, I ran my warm market far far away from me. When my family and friends saw me coming, they ran in the other direction. Because I was never a pushy used car salesman type, needless to say, I never had many sales or recruits.
Then I discovered the Internet.I met a person who introduced me to Internet marketing. Marketing and generating leads by means of this fabulous new tool called the Internet, was great. I loved the Internet anyway, so why not use this format for my business purposes.
I learned some new marketing techniques and strategies using the Internet. I was generating leads and meeting some awesome people in the network marketing community. I really loved what I was doing.
One technique that I tried and fell in love with was article marketing. I loved to write, and now I could get a blog and start writing my articles for my business and my passions.
My first writing came on a very popular platform called hubpages. Many of you have probably heard of it or are writing on your own hubpages, but I didn’t know what to write about. My friend told me to write about things I was very passionate about. So I started to write. That was almost two years ago and one of my very first articles is still getting hits today.
I want to give you five quick simple steps that will help you make your writing skills about you, your personality, and attract more people to you..
1. Write The Way You Talk
Good writing is like a conversation between the writer and the reader. So when you’re writing, think about how you would explain what your saying to a close friend who is sitting right across from you. Use the same words, the same stories, that you would normally use to explain your points.
2. Read Out Loud To Yourself
You should be proof reading your articles before you publish them, and when you do, read them out loud to yourself, as if you were reading them to a congregation. As you read you will stumble over the parts that you need to fix. They will sound awkward and won’t have that nice flow. Do this until your article sounds good and flows smoothly.
3. Ask Someone To Read It For You
This is where my wife comes in. I ask her to read my articles before I get ready to publish them. She is my best critic. If she see something that doesn’t sound right, I better take a look at it. This should be someone that you know will give your writing an honest scrutiny.
4. Use The Same Words You Talk With Every Day
When I first started to write and blog, I tried to use big long sophisticated words. I tried to be someone I wasn’t. Just be yourself. Your true personality will come out when you start writing this way, and people will just be attracted to you because of who you really are. Remember, not everyone will like who you are, and that’s ok too.
5. Just Start Writing
Don’t worry about the grammar, writing styles, and punctuation, just start writing. Get your main thoughts and ideas down, and don’t worry about anything else. Once your done, than you can go back and edit your spelling and grammar errors. Remember, you and a close friend will be proof reading it before it goes out.
Have fun writing and expressing your thoughts, ideas and value to enhance your readers and followers lives. Remember to always be yourself, because people will always be attracted to the real you, and not to someone you are pretending to be.

You are welcome Michelle. I read your article on Breast Cancer. That was a great personal story and your style was all you and there is nothing wrong with you. You are a very good writer. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Sarah Antos says:
Thank you for doing this blog. I agree with you and felt that I needed to redo some of my own personal blogs that were not so personal because of the style of writing I chose. People want to connect with people and not feel like they are reading from some text book. Thanks again – very helpful.

Thank you Sarah for your comment. You hit the nail on the head, people want to connect with people. It’s what attraction marketing is all about. If you’ve never read, Mike Dillard’s, Magnetic Sponsoring” here is the link where you will, not only get his book, but 7 videos on what attraction marketing is. The videos are free, and the book is about thirty dollars.
Attraction Marketing has changed the way I do business. I will never go back to the way I used to be. Hope it helps you Sarah.
God bless
