What Network Marketers Can Learn About Marketing From Tim Ferriss

Tim Ferriss, the #1 best-selling author of “The Four Hour Work Week” designed a product called BrainQUICKEN, which was a nutritional supplement to improve focus, memory and mental performance.

In his book he explains how he started out by marketing his product to student athletes, which at first glance seemed like it would be a good niche to go after. However, it proved to be too broad as no orders were coming in.


He “repackaged” his product and narrowed his audience even more to martial artists and powerlifters – minuscule markets compared to the massive student market – and sales took off eventually reaching as high as $80K a month.

Exact same product. Different target audience.

If you’re in the health and nutrition industry, use this example. The possibilities are endless.

Here are a couple examples:

The beauty of educational style marketing, and why you can benefit from it into your business today, is because it allows you to market your products to people with these health conditions on a mass scale using the Internet while staying 100% compliant with even the strictest company guidelines without getting into any trouble with the FDA.

If this is unclear right now how to do this, I cover exactly how to set up your own marketing pipeline that’s specifically tailored to your products in The Attraction Marketers’ Manifesto.


What About if You Have A Team Of People?
If your company has one main product, you can all market the same product, each taking a different angle. Or, if you have multiple products, you can do the same.

This is what my team and I did years ago with our health awareness seminars. As we started to grow, each of us began specializing in different areas. I started with digestive health and eventually others branched out into dental health and women’s health.


For example,

I know of one person who makes a very good living online by marketing specifically to people with speeding tickets.
Targeting A Specific Niche Like This Is Not Mandatory To Get Started In Attraction Marketing, But…
Targeting a specific niche like this is not mandatory to get started in attraction marketing, but if you can begin identifying a certain group of people or a specialty that you want to go after, you will be light years ahead of where most network marketers are today.

People who are doing this now, and have stuck with it for awhile, are dominating!

Create These Assets, And You Will Reach A New Level Of Business That Is Not Enjoyed By Most Network Marketers


The Renegade Network Marketer

If there is one central theme of The Renegade Network Marketer, it would be this:


Your list is one of the most valuable assets you can develop, but there are also other things like…

Your own traffic. (Ex: Ads you might place, or when other websites link to yours)Your own testimonials that establish credibility.Your own content. (Ex: Articles at your blog, email series, informational videos, etc.)Your MLM organization of course.Your relationship with your customers. (This is determined by how you treat them and the value you bring to their lives. For example, the exact same customer might be worth three times as much in the long run to someone who develops a good relationship with them vs someone who does not have their best interests in mind and just wants to make a quick buck off of them.)Your USP. (What makes you different from everyone else?).Eventually your own product(s).

All of these are assets that have a real, measurable dollar value (some harder to measure than others). They not only protect your business, they also open you up to an endless amount of ways to make money. If you ever chose to sell your business at some point, they would also have a huge impact on how much it would be worth.


Every time you do, the value of your business increases. Every time you add an email to your autoresponder sequence, it increases your remote control selling power. It’s like another 100 sales reps working for you.


Every additional piece of content improves the relationship you have with your prospects…
…it further pre-qualifies them…
…it increases your conversions which means more money and more distributors…
…which means more people in your organization making you money…
…which allows you to buy more advertising…
…which means more prospects…
and the cycle continues.
