What makes NPN the best MLM?

What's so great about Global NPN?  In a word, everything.  But if you are interested in its best features, here they are (from my perspective):

* the marketing plan is not a binary.  It's a 5x5 forced matrix.
* there are no minimum number of personal referrals that you must have in order to start earning.
* the earning potential is very strong.
* the program can be scaled up and down to suit individual needs and tastes.
* you learn at your own pace and 'scale up' your position when & if you're ready.
* it's very inexpensive to get started with this business (i.e. $11.00 a month).
* the products are all digital and online - no pills, potions or lotions to push.
* there are plenty of excellent, pre-made marketing websites and tools available.
* it's a complete 'business in a box', with everything you need to be successful.

Sound good?  It should, because there's really nothing else out there that compares to it.  If you're ready to start your home-based business this year and have been shopping around for ideas and/or a program that's the right fit, then maybe Global NPN is for you.

It's the choice that my team and I made, and we've never regretted it.

The Ultimate Drug

For me, the best 'high' you'll ever feel is true, online business success. With it, you automatically get the peace of mind to know that you have autopilot cash coming in every month an that you can grow it indefinitely! It's one the best feelings you will ever have... and it doesn't involve any kind of drug.

That's why I created this blog for my Global NPN team. I like to share accumulated knowledge and I enjoy the feedback. Having enough knowledge helps prevent the pain and misery that so many feel when they fail at online business.

In this industry, success is based upon principles - two(2) mainly:

1. Advertising (i.e. you need ENOUGH of it).

2. Thinking (i.e. knowledge, creativity, determination, planning and mindset).


If you master these two areas, you can literally print money at will... and the Internet is your printing press. When you're a success, others see it and will want to follow you. Tony Robbins says, "Success leaves clues." That's true!

As an online MLM, Global NPN is probably the perfect business. But to make it perfect for YOU, it will take thought and marketing. Hopefully, this blog will inspire you, but there are infinite resources online for those who desire riches and will seek them out.

For me, the very best thing about Global NPN is that you can grow and expand your business systematically. A lot of dreamers don't have much when they first start out, but everyone can afford $11.00 a month. That's all it takes to get started in a business that can change your life forever. And believe me when I tell you that there truly is no 'high' like paying your bills with online money.

Understanding consumer demand with regard to Global NPN

Even with an affiliate program like Global NPN, you still need to think like a retailer in some ways. Why? Because your referral prospects are consumers and you are the merchant. So what are some concepts to bear in mind when tailoring your sales messages and ads?

Listen to what people are saying that they want.

It used to be that only certain professions and businesses had to really listen closely with empathy to their client's needs. Retail businesses in more prosperous times weren't in the business of playing counselor, coach, or advocate. That's all changed as consumers around the the U.S. (around the world, actually) are struggling with a bad economy, causing them to change their previously unquestioning consumer mentality to one of careful frugality. In an environment like this, the only way to customize your marketing and business strategies is to pay close attention to your customer's needs and try to meet them.

Understand The Big Three Components of Consumer Demand

Many of the issues that customers are going to face in this global-recession are the same: Reduced income, increased expenses, and solutions that don't meet their immediate needs. As we know from business theories, consumer demand is comprised of three components: Income level, personal preference, and price. There is not much a business can do about customers’ falling income levels, though being a Global NPN affiliate is quite inexpensive, and 'pricing' is a function of the membership level.  So the only other way to influence consumer demand is through preference.

Global NPN gives them options and lets them make their own choice.  That's one of it's main selling points.

Yes, your potential affiliate referrals have less to spend these days, but this doesn't mean that they will naturally gravitate to the 'cheapest' affiliate programs. In fact, value becomes more important as the length and depth of this world-wide financial crisis grows.  An affiliate program that has all the marketing tools you'll ever need in one place has value.  So does a proven company with quality ownership.

The best way to advertise Global NPN

What is the very best place to advertise Global NPN?  The answer might suprise you.  The truth is that it doesn't matter 'where'  you advertise... just don't advertise Global NPN.

Confused yet?  Then let me explain. 

Take traffic exchanges (TE's), for example.  Promoting stock affiliate pages (no matter how beautiful they are!) is almost a complete waste of time.  The people there who are surfing the exchanges don't want to join your program.  They want you to join theirs!  All they are doing is clicking away, as fast as possible, to earn credits.  The only way to reach them is with something called an 'interrupter'.  It has to be a simple and powerful 'squeeze page' that makes them stop clicking for a second - something compelling enough for them to fill out your subscription form to learn more.

That's what a squeeze page is.  It's just a very compelling ad that asks the reader for their name and email address in order to learn more about the enticing message.  In other words, you want to get them out of the TE and onto your list.  By the way, your upgraded NPN account includes an autoresponder feature.  But the point is this:  you used some kind of 'bait' to attract the subscribers, such as a free ebook, free report or what-have-you.  Once they are on your list and received your gift, the autoresponder series should continue to offer genuinely useful marketing tips and more freebies.

In this way, you build a good relationship with your subscriber list.  Then, the best way to advertise Global NPN is with your signature line and occasional mention of it's digital products, as they relate to the marketing tips in your autoresponder series.  In other words, you sell by not selling.  As ironic as it sounds, people love to buy (and even join new programs), but nobody wants to be 'sold' on anything.

Keep this in mind and you'll do far better...

The truth about earning money online

If you are new to the online marketing, it can be very confusing! When you search for ways to make money online, you'll find millions of pages, most of them full of outrageous, empty promises. In fact, like movie-trailers that are better than the movies themselves, ads for online money-making programs are usually better than the programs themselves. That's because they are designed to appeal to your emotions rather than common sense.

In reality, there is no free lunch when it comes to making money online. Marketing online has to make business sense, just like real-world offline business. There really isn't any difference between, say, selling chess sets, books or hair-care supplies online or offline - business is business.

Making money online always boils down to one of the following 4 business models:

Online Business Model #1: Selling Products

The most obvious online business model is selling products. You have a product to sell, customers go to your website and place an order for your product. You then deliver your product to the customer.

The products can be physical (such as clothes, toys, artwork, books, CDs) and digital (such as downloadable software, MP3s and e-books). Physical products are shipped to the customer, and digital products are downloaded by customers to their computers. eBay is probably the most famous method for using this business model.

Online Business Model #2: Selling Services

Many types of services can be done through the Internet, without face-to-face interaction. As the technology becomes more advanced, there are more and more things that can be done online.

Here are some examples of services that can be done over the computer: web design, graphic design, web hosting, email marketing, programming, training, consulting, writing, data entry, transcription.

Online Business Model #3: Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketers don't own any products or services for sale. Instead, they refer potential customers to other companies' products or services. If those referrals make a purchase, the affiliate marketer gets a commission.

Being an affiliate is the same as being a commission-based sales person in the offline world. With online MLM enjoying a 21st century renaissance, it is possible to earn commissions from a downline sales force as as well as through your own effort. This produces something called 'residual income'.

Online Business Model #4: Selling Advertising

This business model works in the same way as advertising in paper-based magazines and newspapers - if your website has readers, you can sell advertising space.

Advertising is how the "free websites" make money. If a website is full of free information and is not selling anything, chances are the owners are making money from advertisements.

As you can see, there is nothing "magic" about the Internet - it is just a medium of doing business. You make money by either selling something or by being the middleman in the sales transaction. Before you get involved with any online business opportunity, always make sure that it passes your "common sense" test.

My favorite business models are the model #2 and the model #3 - selling online services and building an affiliate sales force in the process

To duplicate my success, you need only one company and one inexpensive affiliate program: Global NPN

There you will find a complete suite of online products and services that you can both use and sell - along with a one-of-a-kind affiliate program that is both easy to understand and powerful.

Here's To YOUR Success!

Is Global NPN a good business to promote?

Global NPN is the perfect online business for beginners because it has everything that you could possibly need and all in one place.  That's excellent.  But to promote the affiliate plan successfully (as with anything else online), you will need your own website or blog and you simply must have a plan for getting daily web traffic.

Earning money as an NPN affiliate really boils down to three(3) simple things:

1) Traffic - Getting people to the site where your affiliate links are

2) Explanation - Giving people the introduction to Global NPN

3) Conversions - Turning visitors into affiliates

Traffic is the most popularly touched on topic, probably because most people find it to be so hard to get tons of people to a site. The main reason for that (in my opinion) is because they're impatient and don't want to learn. But you don't really need to learn a 'million' different ways to drive traffic to your site.

One method is more than enough in most cases, though having more helps. With online business, too much is never enough!

But, if you are just starting out, I'd recommend that you focus on (and get good at) one traffic generation method before moving on to learning another one. Why? Because you can concentrate on it and get good at it, that's why! What good is it if you're no good at it? And if you have too many options, you will get hit by analysis paralysis, and not do anything because there are just too many things you can do. It's called 'overwhelm'. It's probably the #1 problem for beginners and it's THE major cause of burn-outs.

Think along with me...

If you are a true master of just one traffic generation method, and can drive targeted traffic to any site at any time, you won't have any problems earning money online. Once the traffic problem is solved, offer and conversion is just a step away.

Right now, the most popular method for driving traffic is through back-linking and SEO, and chances are it's the method that you are using too. The reason why it's so popular is that it helps you get number one rankings in the search engines, and this will help give you Free targeted traffic on a daily basis. Note I said targeted traffic, meaning you give people what they are looking for, and the chances are much higher that they'll join NPN from your site.

Doing this is very easy with SEO compared with other traffic generation methods. If people are searching for "dog training material", you give them dog training material that they can buy. Simple as that.

Global NPN is the perfect online business for beginners. So create content on your site that is oriented to Internet Marketing newbies and direct their attention to Global NPN and explain it's many benefits. If you can get good (really good) at doing this one thing, there's no limit to how much you can earn.

How do average people make online MLM work?

With all the information out there on building an MLM affiliate business, it's so easy to get confused as to what works and what doesn't - and what tools and information that you actually need, and where to find it.  But what if you had a community of online marketers to help you grow your business?

What if you brought a new person into your business and already had a training and marketing system in place so you can continue to bring new team members in? What if you had all the tools you ever needed to grow your business under one roof?

You can have all this... starting today. Take the time to read about our marketing group, what we're all about and what we're doing.  Global NPN can and should be your 'home program'.  It's a powerful, self-contained business and an entire toolbox that will set you up to promote anything else as well.

How can I get more website traffic for free?

Website Traffic is the greatest challenge for most people who are working online to build a full or part-time income. So today, we’ll look at a the most basic and important way in which to increase traffic to your site... for free. When you join my team at Global NPN, you will want traffic to the affiliate links that you place on your website and/or blog.

But just know that it takes time to build up a consistent flow of targeted traffic to your website. One of the truths that every newcomer to this industry must accept is that nothing happens quickly. Remember, I said “build” traffic - not create tons of it overnight out of thin air. It’s a process, just like every other aspect of starting and managing an online business. That said, it really isn’t all that hard. And it doesn’t take nearly as much time as you might imagine. By the way, the competition is rarely as fierce as it seems at first either. That's because most people just don't try very hard and they aren't persistent and consistent… as you must be.

So let's talk specifics.

Before you try any other methods of getting traffic, it’s important to make sure your website is properly optimized. This is called SEO, which stands for Search Engine Optimization. If you don't intentionally optimize your content (blog posts, articles, forum threads, etc) for a specific keyword phrase, and intentionally get backlinks to that content, you won't get anywhere near as much traffic (and readers) as you otherwise would. It only makes sense to optimize with a purpose, and with a plan. Otherwise you’re cheating yourself out of more traffic, and most importantly – better traffic. You want to target what’s called long-tail keyword phrases. These are longer, more specific (and less competitive) keyword phrases. You don’t just want to choose any phrase though – you want to use keyword targeting to attract a very specific type of visitor. Take the title to this post, for example: 'How can I get more website traffic for free?' That's a long-tail phrase that somebody, somewhere, is typing into a search engine every day.

Don't give up before you get started.

Don’t let the idea of competition scare you off. The truth is, most competitors are rarely as skilled or dominating as they appear to be. The fact that they achieved their rankings (and their business success), should prove to you that it can be done for an affiliate business like Global NPN. There's your proof right there. Just keep in mind that it didn’t happen overnight for them either.

Start with long tail keyword phrases that are easier to rank for, as I mentioned above. Make sure every page of your site or blog is properly optimized for a well-chosen keyword phrase, and that each page has a very specific call-to-action or links to Global NPN. Make sure these two things are done before you start testing other marketing strategies. That will allow your site to get established in the major search engines and begin rising in the results. Without those links (or a specific call-to-action), your web traffic is useless. So make sure it’s in place!

Once you have your site or blog ready for rankings & traffic, the next step is to look at ways you can leverage your competitors. Analyze the search results for the more competitive keyword phrases as they relate to joining Global NPN. Look over the top 10-20 pages and consider ways you can leverage those. Remember, you want to attract people who are considering NPN (or online MLM in general), and not those who are already members!  Are they Internet Marketing blogs? Then leave a comment that links back to your site. That’s just one simple (and free!) way to take advantage of their high rankings, and funnel that search engine traffic straight into your own site!

There are endless ways to get website traffic, but ignoring SEO is like shooting your blog in the foot from the very beginning.  Article Marketing (for example) will bring in traffic because it works in a way that is similar to your blog. But if you optimize the title of your article, it will get far more views from specific keyword searches. And if you optimize the anchor text in the link within your article, the page on your site/blog you link to will rank higher for that term.  So, as you can see, most online marketing strategies lead back to SEO and keyword targeting. They’re all connected. That’s why keyword research and optimization is where you should start.  It’s the foundation to almost every other way you’ll use to increase traffic to your site. I encourage you to go back to your blog or website and analyze it closely. Is every single page optimized for a specific keyword phrase?  Does every single page or post have a strong call-to-action regarding Global NPN?  If not, start there before you worry about other traffic-generation methods.

There’s no point do any other marketing work until you’re set up to rank & convert…
