There was only ever going to be one winner and Jonathan Budd is it!
If you don’t know what I’m on about then you’ve obviously been under a rock for the last few days!
Mike Dillard recently launched his new product “What’s Working Now” which incidentally if you were crazy enough not to sign up for, you’ve missed! Apparently you can register to be informed if and when the product is made available again.
So Mike ran an affiliates competition for the launch and first prize was a brand spanking new Audi R8! Man not since I was almost caught up in an annual wildebeest migration have I witnessed such a stampede towards the finish line.
I waited with bated breath to receive the leader updates. There were many familiar names, the above two and other marketing heavy weights like Jason Better (3rd) and Ann Sieg (4th) all jostling for that top place.
I’m fairly sure none of them really needed the car and most can more than likely buy their own anyway, so what was the attraction?
Competitiveness? The Challenge? A Marketing addiction? Some kind of narcissistic drive?
Maybe, maybe and maybe but I believe they simply rose to the challenge because they could!!
And why could they???
Because what Jonathan Budd and Brian Fanale have in common and with all the rest of us who took part is this…. We know that…
The Power Lies In The List!!
They were not successful because of any particular network marketing company, not because they knew Mike Dillard personally, not because they had access to discounted billboard advertising space but because they understand the power you have when you have a list of followers who you have built a relationship with and and who will buy from you when you market to them over time. Period! The bigger your list, the more potential power you have!
This is what it means to make your business about YOU Inc! This is what attraction marketing is all about. This is what you should be working on as a priority… not trying to pitch your latest, greatest deal or insist that your vitamin infused berry cocktail from Mars is the best….
The model to follow is simple: Build a list. Build a relationship with the list. Market to the list
How do you do this?
- You need to be able to offer people something of value that is going to help them. This is why they will opt in to your list. Find something to give away for free that will be of value to your niche group.
- You will need a way to communicate this offer to them via a blog or capture page.
- You’ll need an email auto responder like Aweber so that you can communicate with your list members.
- You”ll need to know how to build a relationship with your list which does not mean market every affiliate product ever released to them. It does mean offer them ongoing value.
- Then and only then when they know, like and trust you… then will they buy from you when you have something of value to market to them.
While the model is simple and the process very possible most people will find putting all the pieces together a challenge which is exactly why if you want to make this as easy as joining the dots you should use an effective attraction marketing system to help you with every one of the above steps.
It’s what I do and it’s how all other the top seven figure earners do it too.
How do I know?
This contest has just proved this very point. You see the other thing that both Brian Fanale and Jonathan Budd have in common is that each of them owns one of the top two attraction marketing systems in the market place today.
They must both be doing something right, not so? How can can argue with 1st and 2nd place?
My goal? Helping you achieve yours!

Hey Marcus,
I love the way you laid it out for anyone who wants to implement building a list. The formula is that simple, yet folks don’t take the action to implement it.
Great job my friend from the other side of the world.
Chat with you later…

What a race that was. Jonathan Budd is obviously a phenomenal Marketer. As well as Brian Fanale, Ann Sieg and that wonderful little cartoon character from BN… I’ve always been told the money is in the Relationship with the people you have on your list, and this just proves it.

The competition for this car was really tough Marcus, next year I’m sure I’ll see you are winning one of these…You laid out exactly the million dollar marketing plan – build a list, build relationships with that list and then market to that list! You are always on the top of the things, keep up those valuable posts…I enjoy visiting your online home.

Great post Marcus. It’s all about building the list and adding value to others. That’s the premise of attraction marketing. The $$ is in the list!
