The #1 Thing You Need to Know Before You Can Become Ultra-Successful in Online Marketing

by

Hello all..

I have a question. And some advice for those of you refusing to believe that YOU are the most important part of what makes you successful in this business.

My question: What’s YOUR unique offer?

Do you have one, or are you just one of those “generic affiliate link” marketers?

In order to be very successful in this business you need to determine what it is that you can offer that is of significant value, and is unique. If your prospect is looking at your link or website and is considering joining you – what they’ll be asking themselves first is “why should I join YOU??” So… why should they join you? And don’t tell me it’s because your business opp. is the best. Your prospects don’t care about that yet. They want to know what it is that you’re going to do that can help them… what value can you provide to them as their sponsor. “Blind recruiting” doesn’t work anymore for long term success.

Think of it sort of like a job interview that your prospects are giving you. You are essentially applying for the job of being their sponsor, aren’t you?

Oh, and I’m not talking about what products you can sell them, or what great eBooks you’ve got.. Everybody has that stuff. Everybody has “the best” products, or “the best” opportunity. Who cares.

I’m talking about YOU. What do YOU have?

For some people it’s great leadership abilities. Some can motivate really well. Some people are good at generating traffic and leads. Some do webinars and training videos. Some create good solid content on their blogs. Some can create great ad copy. Some just have good life experiences to share. Some are good hand-holders. Some can do great graphics, or can write code, or make good capture pages. And some are a combination of the above, plus more..

It doesn’t matter if it’s related to business or networking, it can just be a part of your personality that you can project. Everybody has something.


Me? Well let’s see.. I can write programs and create software that can do pretty much anything. I can kill with ad copy and create quality well-written content any day of the week. I can get through to people with how I train them. I am easy going and people seem to relate to me well. I am genuinely concerned with other people’s success, but only as long as they’re respectful of me. I am a big-time perfectionist. I know this crazy business like the back of my hand and my experience weighs heavily in the advice I give to people…

I’m not blowing my own horn here, this is just stuff that I thought of now as I’m writing this, but I do know what I’m good at and I’m still learning..

So..

What’s YOUR unique offer? What do you bring to the table?

To be ultra successful, you have to FIND it. Find it, and focus on it. Smear it and your personality over everything you create online. Put it in your marketing, put it in how you write your blogs and make your videos, make it part of your writing style, make it a giant part of your online presence. Once you can do that, you will begin to attract the “right” people for your business. And when you start attracting the right people to your business, you will see what success is.

So.. have you found it yet?

Have a great day.

Why would I upgrade to PLUS?

by

Hello NPN’ers,

This video is directed to our members that aren’t sure if, or why, they should be upgrading.

I hope I can give you enough information in the video so you can make an informed decision as to whether or not you should be upgrading your Global NPN account to the PLUS (or higher level) from the NPN PRO level..

You may be surprised by the HUGE impact an upgrade to PLUS can have on your monthly income! Watch the video below to find out more:

 

[toggle title=”Text version of this video” style=”fancy”]For many (obvious) reasons we have a lot of members that are at the NPN PRO level, paying $10.75 per month for the services and products we provide. Everybody has their reasons for staying at the entry level position of course, but I’d like to give you all a quick “FYI” on what it means to your business if you upgrade your membership to the next (NPN PLUS) level..

One of the great features of NPN is that you can progress up the “ladder system” however and whenever you like, but many people just don’t realize the huge difference it could make to your online success if you were just one level higher on the ladder.

The advantages are business related, product related, and “presence” related.

First of all, the difference in cost between the PRO and the PLUS levels makes it the least expensive upgrade in the entire system. The PRO membership is $10.75 per month, whereas the PLUS membership is just $19.97 per month, a difference of only $9.22. When you see the difference in what you get for your $9.22 you may be pleasantly surprised..

Here is what your products include in comparison between the PRO and PLUS levels:

Ad Trackers:

PRO: 5
PLUS: Unlimited

URL Rotators:

PRO: 3 rotators
PLUS: 10 rotators

Downline Builder:

PRO: 3 programs listed
PLUS: 5 programs listed

Banner Rotator:

PRO: 3 banners
PLUS: 5 banners

CapturePage Creator:

PRO: 1 page
PLUS: 3 pages

MailMarketerPro (autoresponder):

PRO: 1 contact list, no email templates
PLUS: 3 contact lists, ALL 120 email templates

MultiSponderElite (autoresponder):

PRO: 10 campaigns
PLUS: Unlimited campaigns

PRO: 5,000 maximum subscribers
PLUS: 10,000 maximum subscribers

PRO: NO lead imports
PLUS: YES to lead imports

The product increases speak for themselves, but what about building your business:

As a PRO member, the maximum you can earn in monthly referral bonuses is $5 per month. At the PLUS level that amount doubles to $10.00 per month. With just 2 PLUS referrals, you are already in profit every month! But wait.. let’s not forget about the one-time upgrade bonuses that you can earn as a PLUS member..

As a PLUS member, each time you sponsor a new member that joins at the PLUS (or higher) level, you earn an ADDITIONAL one-time bonus of $5.00! That means if you sponsor a new PLUS member, you will earn: the $10.00 monthly referral bonus, $.50 downline commissions, PLUS the extra ‘one-time’ $5.00 bonus! That’s $15.50 in the first month! … and your cost is just $19.97..

Now the biggest team-building advantage is the difference in the minimum monthly commission payouts.

As a PRO member, your earnings need to total at least $20 before a commission payment will be made, and your earnings will “carry over” each month until you earn that amount. At the PLUS level, the minimum commission payout for you would be just $10.00. Simply put, you will EARN FASTER at the PLUS level than you would at the PRO level. For that reason alone many of our new members join at the PLUS (or higher) levels right away.

A huge reason that the PLUS level makes more business sense, is the availability of your NPN External Profile Page. At the PRO level, your NPN affiliate link does not include a link to your profile page. At the PLUS level, however, you have the ability to add your own profile page to our website, which HUGELY increases your chances of making a sale and recruiting a new downline member. Again, this is a HUGE reason that our members upgrade to PLUS. Your prospects are far more likely to join under you if you have your profile page active because they know that there’s a real person behind the website…

The last (but not least) reason to upgrade is being able to put yourself in a leadership role simply by being at a higher level on the ladder than your referrals. The whole reason our ladder system works is because our leaders make sure they are at at least one level higher than their referrals on the ladder. Upgrading and encouraging your referrals to upgrade is where you will make the most money in this business, and it’s very difficult to get your referrals to upgrade if you YOURSELF haven’t upgraded yet to a higher level. If YOU lead the way, the rest will follow, that’s how it works… not the other way around.

Do it today..
– Double commissions
– Faster payouts
– Bonus money
– Profile pages
– Leadership presence
– Product increases..

I’m not trying to sell you on a higher priced product here, I’m trying to make you see the advantages of upgrading in NPN and how it can really boost your income. Specifically between the PRO and the PLUS levels. The ideal upgrade as I always recommend is to DIRECTOR of course because that’s the biggest jump in everything, income, products. The differences between PRO and PLUS are worth noting, and if you can see what I’m saying it may be the right time to start the process today..

Have a great day!

Split Testing with GlobalNPN’s MMPro

by

Hello NPN’ers,

This video will show you one of the ways to maximize the response you can get from your list.

[toggle title=”Text version of this video” style=”fancy”]Hi, Geoff here from NPN,

I want to show you a feature in Your NPN Mail Marketer Pro that you should be using to maximize the results you can get from your contact lists. This is a feature that many of you probably don’t know about and don’t realize that the MMPro actually does this. This is just one of the many features that our autoresponder has that makes it better than many of the other available responders out there, besides our 99% deliverability rates, and that it’s super easy to use. And that it’s included in your membership. Which leads me to ask why you’d go out and pay for a different one that does exactly the same things when you already have one here. When you get down to it… autoresponder systems are simply an interface between you and an email server. The only real difference is deliverability rates. Fortunately we have some of the highest in the business. This is the reason that personally, I only use the MMPro for all my email marketing. And I do a ton of it. Everything else seems a bit over priced to me – knowing what I know about how they actually work.

So the feature I’m going to show is how to do split testing in the MMPro, and how it works, and why it’s super important to know this.

First of all, The term “split test” means 1 of 2 things. splitting your list into 2 or more separate groups, and sending slightly different campaigns to each group. Then analysing the results to see which of your emails gets a better response from your list. That way you can use the better campaign in the future.. Or.. You can split a small percentage of your list into separate groups (say 10% of your entire list) and test your campaigns to that 10%, then the MMPro will determine which campaign performs better, and then it will send that campaign to the remaining 90% of your list – so the better email goes to the rest of your list. Better response.

Now that might sound kind of technical, but our system makes it completely automated, and easy.

So for example, you are planning on sending out a campaign to your list promoting a product that you’re recommending.

What you can do is write a few different versions of your email campaign (at least two, or more), with different subject lines, different call to actions, different message bodies, different templates etc., and you can run a split test to see which one works better with your list… based on which one draws more clicks and has a higher open rate. Remember we’re trying to maximize the results we can get from our lists and this is how you do it. This is part of the ongoing testing process that you should be doing.

Here’s how you set this up..

First of all, you have to write the email campaigns you want to test out and save them in your system here.

In this example I’m going to test out 2 different subject lines with the same message body. So essentially I want to find out which subject line works better. I’ve already written one campaign, and I will show you the easiest way to write slightly different campaigns without having to manually write them all separately.

So what I’m going to do next..

is Give my split test a name, check the boxes next to the campaigns that I want to test..

Then choose the criteria that I want to base this test on, which is either number of peole that open the email, or click a link inside the email.

Remember my campaigns for this test are only different because of the subject lines. So to test which subject line works better, I need the results to be based on how many people see that subject and open my email to read it.

Next is to choose which kind of test to run..

You can either have the system send your campaigns to your entire list, then you will be able to see which subject line gets a higher email open rate afterwards, or you can have the system test your campaigns to a percentage of your list, then based on those results, send the most successful campaign to the rest of your list at a later time. It’s up to you.

Then afterwards you can see the results under statistics => split test statistics.

Basically that’s it. It’s really simple, but very necessary if you want to know which emails your list likes to open, and which links they like to click on. Testing this stuff is really important, it’s not difficult, but by keeping track of what works, ultimately it will make you more money.

Have YOU ever used split testing for your email campaigns??

That’s it for today. Comments are welcome below..
