People-Your Most Critical Asset

Sometimes we Internet marketers get carried away with search engine rankings, blogs, traffic, click thru rates, conversion ratios, auto-responders, AdSense, link cloaking, web hosting PHP scripts and the rest and we inevitably forget the one key ingredient that will make our business a success.

Our customers and how they perceive us.

I will wager that the internet marketer that puts the time and effort into really helping his customers, by offering appropriate levels of support, by giving quality information and by answering inquiries quickly and honestly will outsell the fancy Dan with the flash graphics and constant trail of borderline spam urging his clients to buy his latest regurgitated eBook.

There is no substitute for integrity, no amount of fancy graphics or colourful sales copy can hide it and even the greenest “newbie” will appreciate it when he encounters it. Developing that sense of integrity is difficult to project in a website or blog – one way to stand out is to display a banner showing that you are approved by various organisations. I personally prefer Graham Hamer’s eTrust banners, but there are several others that will also convey that impression, but a banner is just a banner – you need to back it up with your actions

You need to project your integrity in you dealings with people, by recommending legitimate real products that are useful, by answering inquiries as soon as possible and by quickly and cheerfully providing refunds when appropriate. Your mailing series needs to be informative without being pushy and written in a conversational style that is sincere and believable and above all you need to be approachable.

For all the advantages that this technological age gives the entrepreneur, it is worth remembering that sometimes automated technology can hinder a potential business relationship.

Internet Marketing is all about automation. Advertising, prospecting, and selling can all be done hands free and this makes the netpreneur’s job “easy.” However, it does not matter how good your auto-responder series is, no matter how well written your sales copy, some people just won’t get it and let’s face it we have all been there at some time and that’s when we need to be responsive to the requests for help

I get tired of reading “gurus” bemoan newbies as time wasters and troublesome. Everybody is new at some stage and sometimes they just need a helping and along the way. If you take the time to understand what the customers needs are – you can really build a positive long lasting business relationship and when you make a recommendation to somebody who knows and trusts you they will give it due consideration.

That’s when your initial investment in your customer will really pay off. Over and over again…

The Revolving Door In Network Marketing

Does the Revolving door stop?
 Ever notice how there is so much information  on network marketing team training or how to get network marketing leads etc.. Rarely do you hear about the actual opportunity.  New reps are often excited about their opportunity because they are focused on all the money they can potentially make. Smart marketers focus on how “they” can lead a person to the promise land. 


Rarely does a person sit back and really consider why is it they are doing what they are doing. Most folks network marketing businesses look like a revolving door.
The first hurdle to over come is being able to bring 1 person into your business. Yes I know it sounds easy enough but it would scare you to find out how many people have a hard time even doing that. Mostly people join a opportunity and a month later give up. They somehow think the grass is greener on the other side. Sadly that is not the case.  These same people who move from biz op to biz op eventually give up and go back to their day jobs…

Become A Good Student
To build a good network marketing team, learn all you can about internet marketing. Teach people how to get what they want. Ever hear the saying there is more than one way to skin a cat? Instead of convincing someone to join your business show them how to better theirs… There is so much more to network marketing than just building your “primary business”.  You will find the more people you help, the more people will want to work with you.

Make Easy Money - 5 Reason Why You Should Join Global NPN

The network marketing model really is the easiest business model to get to work online for the average Work from home or home business seeking person.

Nothing in life worth attaining is easy, everything you do will require effort. The reason I believe that the network marketing industry is the easiest to get involved with is because many times, its a matter of just plugging into a already successful marketing system. At this point your main focus is only getting traffic and following up with your prospects.

Are You Putting The Cart Before The Horse?

As the weeks, months and years go on it becomes more apparent that the real problem with getting a internet network marketing business off the ground isn’t getting traffic or leads.

The biggest problem is to get a person to stop running around in a circle.  Part of the problem isn’t your fault with today’s technology its very easy to get caught up information overload. Really its not that the information is bad information, the problem is years are condensed into one pdf file. 

Most information that is shared comes from years of experience and we naturally try to learn everything.
In order to move forward in your business you are going to need to slow down and take your time. I have seen to many people jump into one of these online businesses and are so eager to get started promoting they don’t even really know what they joined.

Don’t do that, always take the time to go through everything you just got involved with. Understand the compensation plan, know what it will take to break even and Communicate with the person who’s business you joined. ( I repeat this often, always make sure your sponsor is really going to be there to work with you.)
There are only three things you need to remember to get your business up and running.

1. Learn as many ways free and paid methods to get traffic to your lead capture page.
2. Use a lead capture system (Don’t Waste Time Trying To Re-Create The Wheel)
3. Get a blog so you can do what I am doing right now, sharing good content, branding myself and connecting with my subscribers…

The rest will fall into place. To be successful in this industry comes down to being friendly and a willingness to help others. If you can do this its just a matter of leaving your calling card… Which could be a text ad, pay per click ad, solo ad, safelist ad, signature file in a forum or your profile in a social network even your blog acts as a calling card.

The one thing that has helped me achieve success in the internet network marketing industry is my blog. I highly recommend you set one up right now and start learning how to use it.
Use Blogger.com , Its simple to use and set up. I will help you if you want

Why is GlobalNPN the most important program in your marketing funnel

Why is GlobalNPN the most important program in your marketing funnel
Many people ask me “why do I need NPN when I already have a business to promote?”.

The answer is fairly simple but a lot of people still don’t really get it.
Let’s assume that your main business that you want to promote is a ‘Health Drink’ business. You will probably find out pretty quickly that it’s very difficult to find quality targeted leads for your business. After all, you have a very specific business, with a very specific market. It’s not easy (or cheap) to find the right leads that will want to join you in your business. This is also the case no matter what your ‘primary’ business is.

Here’s where NPN comes in. As you know, NPN is a suite of marketing tools and training material that ‘every’ online marketer needs to succeed in generating leads for their own business. Lead generation is the most difficult part of online marketing, especially when your business has a very specific market. That’s why we need GlobalNPN at the top of our marketing funnel.

Which scenario would you rather be a part of?

Scenario #1: You’re trying to get distributors for your Health Drink business. So.. you go out and buy some advertising for your Health Drink website. You get lots of visitors to your website but only a couple people actually decide to contact you about it. Your advertising cost you $50. Which means your ad campaign cost you $25 per lead and those 2 people may not even join you in your business. How much longer can you do that before you give up?

Scenario #2: You’re trying to get distributors for your Health Drink business. BUT, this time you go out and buy some advertising for your GlobalNPN business. You get lots of visitors to your website and a TON of people opt-in to your capture page because they know they need these tools to succeed. Your advertising cost $50, but this time 35 people opted in to your capture page. Your leads only cost you around $1.50 each this time. BUT a number of them joined you in NPN and now you’re making money from that, which means your advertising for your Health Business has essentially been taken care of. Now you can focus on ‘upselling’ your NPN referrals into your Health business, which is much easier since you’ve already qualified them as good quality marketing leads.

What’s my Point: You are making money and getting free advertising from the people that would’ve said a flat out “NO” to your Health Drink business, thanks to NPN. Plus down the road you can recruit your NPN referrals into your Health Drink business, which was the point in the first place right?

Use NPN to generate leads, and qualify leads for your other businesses. You will get leads, you will make money, your advertising will essentially be free, and you will realize how important having GlobalNPN at the top of your funnel is and why it’s essential for your ultimate success.

THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE FOLKS. This is not a theory or a guess as to how it works. If you don’t ‘GET IT’ (or refuse to), you won’t make it.

Now, I know that the next question may be “… but NPN IS my primary business, what then??”. In my opinion the most attractive feature of NPN is that it has is it’s own ‘internal funnel’ system. That is exactly what the NPN Ladder System was designed to take care of. Think of the ladder upgrades as your upsells instead of the “health business” I mentioned above. It works in exactly the same way, but in this case it’s completely self-contained and self-feeding. How cool is that? GlobalNPN can be your feeder system, while at the same time it can be your big dollar earner as your primary business.

Focus on Progress

There are multitudes of people coming online wanting to make money in the internet network marketing industry.

Simply put Internet Network Marketing is the combination of two distinct skill sets.  On the plus side because of the internet we do not need to bother our friends and family. On the negative side there are many different skill sets you will have to learn to be successful.

Many people find themselves running around in a circle 6 months down the road they are wondering why they haven’t moved forward in their business.  The are literally hundreds of thousands of websites online telling you how you can get rich online. This is a huge part of the problem, not because the people who are sharing their ideas are wrong but because more often than not, it causes a bad case of I.O.  (Information Overload) It is best to start your online venture 1 baby step at a time.

Massive Action = Massive Results

I don’t know you personally I don’t know what level of action taking you are able to handle, but I do know this every little step you take leads 1 step closer to your end goal. I get all the same offers as many of you do flooding into my inbox. I ignore most of them because I know that whatever *method* that the *guru* is selling is great for them, but probably won’t do much for everyone else.

That is because we are human beings, there is not such a thing as one size fits all.  Understanding this fact ultimately led to my biggest success yet.  NO I am not talking about making millions of dollars online, I am talking about understanding that people learn at their own pace and what is common knowledge for some is hard learned for others. Because of this, I realized that in order to excel in the Network Marketing Industry. You must define yourself as a Leader, Teacher, Friend, Mentor, guide etc…

I want to help you to get started on the right foot starting now,

First – Clear your mind of all distractions and really think about what you want. Maybe you want to leave your j.o.b or maybe you want to leave a legacy for your children whatever the case may be. What is your WHY?

Second – With everything you are involved with right now ask yourself this question. Am I really getting any help at all? This is a important question to ask, because there isn’t any reason why you aren’t getting help other than you are working with the wrong people.

In the network marketing industry you will hear this repeated almost everywhere you turn. The 2 things you need the most are leads and more money. You will read that , if you join my xyz business I am going to show you how to get thousands of prospects without spending any time or any money…

My friends, it is true you can start building your business without having to spend much money or any money but the journey will be long and hard. Spend your money in the right places and you will earn on your investment 10x over…

The only way to get thousands of dollars in education without paying for it  is to work with someone who has been there done that.

Don't Sabotage Your Success

Today I want to talk to you about something it seems, many people
don't speak about.

Before you go any further with us please realize it doesn't matter
what pre-launch is coming out, it does not matter what products are
being sold.

The secret to success is not in the product, the secret of
success is in your ability to drive a huge amount of traffic
and develop a relationship with your subscribers.

I have been asked several times which product is the best product
to sell online. The products do matter but not as much as the
process of learning how to get traffic.

When it comes down to it, all you are doing is advertising
1 link.

Many times people join one business for a month or two and
think, I am not getting any results I need to find something
that is better and faster.

In theory it sounds good, but the grass is not greener on the
other side. All that you are doing is failing from one business
to the next.

The only business you should be concerned about is the business
of building YOU... Learn and master 1 stream of traffic and move
on from there.

=> Don't loose your focus and join something else stay where
you are. The #1 biggest mistake you can make is not
really giving yourself a chance to learn and grow.

=> "You need to earn the respect of people on your list before
they will join you long term in anything." If you are hopping
from biz op to biz op, you will find that not many people will want
to do business with you.

It is a numbers game, We market online so we need a high volume
of visitors every month for us to be able to prospect.

Global NPN helps you build your personal email marketing list

We are affiliate marketers, we really don't have a physical
product to sell, all we can do is recommend products.....

If you want to make money online, help someone else make money
online... => It really is as simple as that.......

Besides all we are asking you to spend is $10.75 a month. Is that
really to much money to ask for to have an opportunity to work with us?

We will give you a lead capture system/Training system
for free , just because we aren't charging you money every
month like other people doesn't mean we aren't giving you
real value...

An opportunity like the one we are presenting to you does not
come around often, don't let this one slip through your fingers.

It's everywhere -- it's a big money waster...

It's everywhere -- it's a big money waster...

... and while it is the most common marketing
strategy used by marketers online, it is also
the biggest mistake you can possibly make.

You send an advertisement by email, or a flyer,
and expect people to immediately purchase your
product or service.

This strategy totally disregards the
'psychological buying sequence of consumers' - and
is regarded as the least effective way to market
online.

It's very much like walking up to a stranger at a
party and asking 'Would you marry me?'

What do you think the response would be?

To increase conversion rates, you must develop a
sales process which involves multiple contacts
with your prospects.

An example for this type of multiple step
marketing would be:

Step One: A way to capture qualified leads
Step Two: A way to follow up with these leads
Step Three: A way to introduce other related products
to your clients and potential clients.

Quit working 'IN' your business and start working
'ON' your business.

In my experience, a good place where you can setup
your marketing process would be here:

You Are Losing Signups

Are you doing any of the following:
>Promoting a replicated website on a traffic exchange?
>Typing the website in when you submit it somewhere?
>Promoting the wrong site?
>Spending more time signing up for new programs then
promoting the ones you are already a member of?
>Passing up on free text and banner ads because you read
somewhere that they do not work?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, than the odds
are you are losing signups.

If you use traffic exchanges please take a few minutes to
understand how they work. You should look at a traffic exchange
the same way you look at window shopping at a mall. What do
stores in the mall put in the windows? The best they have to
offer. They know that people are there to shop and the one
way to attract them to come in is to show them the best offerings
they have. Traffic exchanges are the exact same way. People are
using traffic exchanges to earn credits they are more than likely
surfing 5 or more exchanges and you only have a few seconds at
the most to get their attention. You need to make them go
at traffic exchanges. The best way to do this is with a splash page.
Even better, create your own splash page. This will make you stand out even more as
it will be something new and fresh to the surfer and they are much
more likely to at least look at it.

You want a page that loads almost instantly. A traffic exchange user is not going to say
"Boy, this must be a really good site since it is taking 25 seconds to load,
I think I will stop surfing and wait for it"

I see many mistakes that could only be made by typing in a website name.
Many traffic exchange programs use instant approval and do not even
look at the sites so if you do type in something wrong it will get approved
and you will think you getting hits when you are not. Please copy and
paste all your websites when submitting them or posting them in emails
etc. It is very easy to make a mistake when typing, but impossible to
make one when you copy and paste.

Do you sign up for every program that you see and try to promote them
all at the same time? This is another way to lose potential signups. If you
have 500 hits but promote 25 sites that means each site will only get 20
hits. Wouldn't it be better to send all 500 hits to one site? The only
way you are going to have success with multiple programs is if you have a huge
list to email. If you join a new program then you should concentrate all of your
promoting on that program. Adding it along with 9 other programs is very
counterproductive in my opinion.

Do you think that text and banner ads are worthless? I promise you they are
not. Sure the clickthru rate on them is low and you will not generate 100
signups through 500 text ad impressions, but each click you do get on your
banners and text ads is a REAL visitor. They are not there because they
have to be to earn credits or 1 penny, they are there because they WANT
to be there. I would rather have 50 visitors to my site from a text or banner
ad then 500 from a traffic exchange or PTC. Another great thing about text
ads is that you test different headlines with them. If you have 5 text ads all
promoting the same thing but using different headlines and one of the
ads has 10 clicks on it and another one has 0, then you know that is a good
headline. You can then use that headline as a subject line when emailing
any lists you belong to. Then you can replace the one that has 0 clicks with
the one that has 10 or you can try a new one to see if it works better.
Same thing with banners. Try several out, and see which one is getting clicks
when you find one, use that banner on any site that you have banner
impressions on. It takes only a few minutes to place the ads, and if you
get 20 clicks out of 10,000 impressions over time then isn't that worth it?

The Difference Between Advertising and Marketing

When you make money online being able to market effectively is
everything. In fact, even businesses that aren't online need to
market effectively or else they will fail. However, many small
business owners don't understand the exact meaning of marketing.
One of the most common misconceptions is confusing advertising for
marketing. Here is the difference between marketing and advertising.

To begin to explain the difference between marketing and
advertising we need to begin with the fact that marketing is much
larger and broader than advertising. In fact, advertising is a part
of marketing. But there is much, much more to marketing than
advertising.

Obviously advertising is paying to get what you're selling in front
of other people. There are many different ways to advertise. Online
there are both ways to advertise and ways that cost money to
advertise. Some of the free ways to advertise include writing
articles, writing blogs, and creating videos on YouTube.

Marketing includes everything you do and everything that's a part
of your business. So every email you send is part of your marketing
campaign. Every forum post you make. Every Website you own, all the
content you put on the Web, and anything else you do that's related
to your business is part of your marketing. This is especially true
of the way you treat your customers. You customer service is a huge
part of your marketing.

Always remember this. Everything you do is marketing your business.
You are either helping your business or hurting your business. So
make sure that everything you do is helping you make your business
better. Just keeping this in mind will help your business
tremendously.

The difference between marketing and advertising should never be
forgotten. If you think marketing is only advertising then you're
ignoring great chances to effectively market your business. And
you're probably hurting your business in ways you don't even
realize.

Too often small business people mistakenly think that marketing and
advertising is the same thing. This results in a substantial amount
of marketing being ignored. Then the business suffers because there
are entire segments of marketing that aren't being addressed. So
you need to always remember the difference between marketing and
advertising. Always remember that everything you do that's even
remotely related to your business is part of the way other people
see you and your business. Therefore it's all part of your
marketing and should be treated as such.

Hope you enjoyed this article and that it will give you something
to think about in your current or future internet business.
