NPC’S Market Profile Strategy: Step 4

Posted by Heiza on 25 July 2011 filed in Case Studies

So now, we’re on to step 4 or otherwise called as Google Adwords Competitive Research. This is the simplest step because the NPC Market profile tool asks us just two questions. The first question is whether there are affiliates or vendors who pay google just to advertise information products on your specific niche.

To know the answer,you need to go to google and type in your root keyword. You will easily spot paid results because they

are always on top of the free results and they are highlighted. Sponsored links or paid ads can also be found on the right side of your results page. Free/organic results on the other hand are those that are located right below the highlighted ones. These free ads or results go next to paid ads because these websites put a lot of effort in marketing and getting ranked.

If you see paid results selling information products, it means that your target niche could generate money. If you can’t find paid ads using your root keyword, use other top keywords to check if there are paid ads. If there are direct advertisers on your niche, take note of the number of advertisers because the data can help determine if there is money in your niche.

Now that was quick! Let’s move forward and try step 5.

Vote For Ray Higdon: Top MLM Blog For 2011

Posted on 30 November 2011.

I launched this site in October of 2003, before most people knew what a blog was and today if you do a search for "MLM Blog" or "Network Marketing Blog", chances are, you'll find MLMBlog.net, number one.

But truth be told, I didn't do all that much with this site in 2011.  Writing a book, traveling and building my Social Marketing™ business took center stage.

So, I am going to ask my readers to support Ray Higdon as the top MLM Blogger for 2011.

If you want to be successful at MLM Blogging, the one thing that you could learn about MLM Blogging from Ray and something that I did for many years is learn to be consistant with your writing.

So, Ray is getting my vote this year and I hope that he will get yours as well.

If you want to learn my secrets about blogging, here is nearly 3 hours of training that I did on the subject of Blogging For Prospects (free for taking the time to vote for Ray).

NPC’S Market Profile Strategy: Step 5 And 6

Posted by Heiza on 25 July 2011 filed in Case Studies

Now, let’s tackle Step 5 of NPC’s Market Profile Strategy. For this step, we need to determine the market size of our niche through keyword analysis. If you are familiar with the Google Adwords keyword tool, this process is easy. All you have to do is to enter your keyword and sort the results in descending order.

Take note of the value in terms of global monthly search volume that your keyword gets. You also need to take into account the top 10 keywords and their corresponding global monthly search volume. With the needed data already collected, we can now proceed to the next step which is search engine landscape.

Step 6 – At last!

For the last step of the NPC’s market analysis, we need to determine if our moneywords will get enough search volume. When we searched for keywords earlier on using NPC’s moneyword matrix method, we were able to tell apart good and excellent keywords. For this process, we need to take the top 20 highly searched moneywords so we can use the data along the others that we have collected from the previous steps. In the tool, the search volume values are also necessary in order for us to determine our final market score.

On using NPC’s Market Profiler

I am again impressed with how NPC has developed a strategy in determining if our niche may stand a chance against bigwigs in the internet industry. That’s ambitious I know! But it really starts with choosing the right niche. To me, the market profiler tool gives us a precise and step by step guide in examining many angles of our market. I can imagine how difficult it would be for newbies like me to try and study a market without the right background.

If you don’t have the software, you can still use the data that we have collected (step 1 to 6) in order to gauge if your niche is good or not. I feel that going through the steps is quite manageable as compared to going in depth with your keywords from the previous tutorials. And that just reminded me that I have some keywords and niches in mind to test out. I’ll blog about it soon!

NPC’S MoneyWord Keyword Matrix – Part 2

Now, this is the coolest part of the entire process because we will be able to determine if our niche has plenty of moneywords. In other words, this is when we’ll know if it’s a GO or if it’s a big NO.

Analyzing the Results:

What you will see after the entire process is done is an excel file that’s color coded containing all the data from the different criteria as follows: keywords, global monthly searches, competing pages, competing pages rank, average PR, average PR rank, PR rating, OCI (overall commercial intent), OCI rating, estimated CPC, and total ranking traffic (estimate).

Pay close attention to the values right below the commercial intent or OCI criteria because

if it’s a positive sign, it means that consumers are willing to spend money on that particular keyword. If it’s a negative rating on the other hand, it means that they are less likely to spend on products and services on it.

What the Colors Mean

You also need to focus on the rating of your keywords. Dark green stands for excellent, light green means good, light yellow means fair, yellow is borderline good or fair, and red stands for poor. You can sort the results in ascending order so that you can easily analyze the results better.

When I was watching the tutorial, my five year old daughter was also listening and she told me, we should be after the dark green ones, right mommy? And the answer to that is a big yes and we can now refer to them as our moneywords.

Using the Color Coding Scheme

Using NPC’s strategy, we can use the niche if we have at least 21 Moneywords in our market. We can also use yellow keywords but it will largely depend on how many green keywords we have. So if we have 1 or 2 yellow keywords, it’s okay to push through with it but if more than half of your best 21 keywords are yellow, it means that you may either look into a new niche or you may need to do more keyword research. If you still you don’t end up with more green keywords, forget about the niche and do the test again for your other target market.

Analyzing Your Niche Through Different Criteria

We also have to take into account the other results that the MoneyWord Matrix Tool gave us and we need to use it against each other so we can better analyze the potential of our niche. NPC suggest that we sort it as follows:

Sort the results by rating and tick on ascending order.Then sort the results by global monthly searches in descending order.Lastly, sort the results by competing pages rating and choose ascending order.

When you have the results in the order above, it will be easier for you to decide if your niche is worth the investment. I suggest that you put more emphasis on the criteria that we have tackled above because NPC finds those reliable. Use the PR rating the least as compared to the other criteria because it is considered as the weakest parameter as per NPC’s teachings.

My Take on The MoneyWord Matrix Tool

The process may seem long but when you get to do it yourself, it’s not at all complicated because the software is very user friendly. I highly recommend this software because it gives you an in depth analysis of your market and it will easily identify your moneywords.

NPC’S MoneyWord Keyword Matrix Tool – Part 1

I can’t stop gushing about NPC’s Moneyword Matrix Software because it has really streamlined the process of deriving your moneywords instead of calculating it on your own. When I viewed the tutorials on using the manual process, I was completely lost. Did I tell you that I am allergic to anything that’s math-related? Okay, that may be an exaggeration but yeah, my brain seems to automatically switch to rejection mode each time I encounter formulas and other problem solving equations.

But the good news is that NPC has an amazing downloadable software that will analyze your keywords using different criteria. By far, this is the coolest tool that I found at NPC and I will explain further if you read along.

Using NPC’s Moneyword Matrix Keyword Tool

When I started the tutorials on getting the keywords automatically through NPC’s MoneyWord Keyword Tool, I could not believe that all you will ever need in getting your moneywords is contained in just one software. So let’s go about the process now and use

our reliable Google keyword tool by accessing it through the link in the software. With one click, it will take you directly to Google’s keyword tool so we can already proceed with getting related ideas for our root keyword. Before running the tool, make sure that you click on columns and tick on approximate CPC so we can extract the data that we want.

Narrow Down Your Results Carefully

The next thing that we need to do is to narrow down the results if you wish to be more specific with your keywords. You will see both an include and exclude tab on the left side of your page where you can just type in the phrases and in the process include/exclude keywords according to your preference. Do this very carefully because you may unknowingly lose excellent keywords – a scenario that we don’t want to happen.

You can then proceed on clicking on the append keyword ideas to list button so that the results will be loaded to your MoneyWord Matrix Software. And when that’s done, you just have to click the magical GO button. And that’s it!

A Word of Caution: You need to set the language of your Google keyword tool to English before you append your list to the Moneyword Matrix Software so that the tool will run properly. And if you have a long list of keywords, be prepared to wait because it’s going to take some time before the software can finish analyzing all your keywords. But a cool feature of the software is that you can stop your work as well as save it so that way you can just retrieve the file when you’re ready to run the tool again.

It’s time to analyze the results so head on to Part 2 of my blog post. Hope to see you there!

MLM Blog Makeover

Posted on 22 August 2011.

I launched the MLM Blog in October of 2003 and over the years, the site has undergone a number of redesigns, including a pick up and move from Typepad to WordPress.

Check out what my blog looked like back in 2003:

I had no idea what I was doing but that ugly blog laid the groundwork for the success that I have today.

Over the last couple of months, I have wanted to make some subtle changes to my design, not huge stuff but a few things to spruce it up a bit.

So I got in touch with Rick Robbins, the Lead Developer over at WordPress Makeover after seeing the work he did on David Wood's blog.

We talked about a few changes and Rick got right to work.  One thing I wanted to do was add a little bit more of my personal brand to the site without overwhelming it with "Ty Tribble" everywhere and I think Rick did a great job there.

The other thing Rick did was give my sidebar opt-in a much needed makeover.

If your blog needs a makeover (and 99% of the ones I see do!), hurry on over to WordPress Makeover and have Rick work his magic for you.

FYI: I am not an affiliate of WordPress Makeover and I do not get paid for sending people to the web site.

Price of gold for 2011 Predicitions

There has been much talk about predictions of the gold price in recent weeks. I bet that it will occupy $ 2000 per ounce at the end of the year if not earlier. With the U.S. Government, just a hair below default on their debt obligations, the scene is really heating for a complete financial meltdown. If this is certainly the safe bet. But what if its where they want you to go, some land, ammunition and food supplies would be perhaps more valuable (however I will admit that I do not find this solution to be very practical either.)

What all this talk about the price of gold. I thought that this was to be a blog on how to make money online? In addition to buddy, where were you? I thought that this blog had long forgotten by you have step moved you to something new as the teaching of English as the language second in Thailand. OK, ok, in regards to my credibility I know that it is quite thin at this time. I am sorry for abandoning all real "MMO" pivots over there, but believe me, if I wasn't such a lazy man, I would be here with you (and I am allbeit in a way less than many of your right now.)

I didn't throw it out there and state that if you want to do a blog on something, perhaps it would be a good idea to do a blog about something that people are interested in. We are all constantly in search of information all the time, drop by Google Trends and see what is the hot topic of the day. In fact going one step further and predict tomorrow hot topic, if you can do this you will be truly unlimited (yeah, his pun on the film but I certainly recommend not, fantasy flick!)

My writing style has changed a bit since I started this blog, is an English / EFL teacher makes you really appreciate the language that so many of us take for granted. Gold is the hot topic of today, he turned to more than $ 200 over the two days and has led many people to jump on the movement, or purchase gold or write about it, or can make you money.

Stay tuned, I hope blast out some articles more in the coming days. Please send me a comment if you have something to add to this position. Thanks…

Marked as: Gold, nest, topic

ROI Unlimited Scam Bouncing Checks?

Posted on 23 August 2011.

MLM Blog contributor, Vance wrote an article a few months ago about ROI Unlimited and today I found evidence that the company is bouncing checks to it's distributors.

Here is the recent comment:

I was all excited about ROI until a bonus check bounced. I've called them 4 times about this and left a message over the last two weeks and have never heard back. If this were a reputable company, it seems to me they would have gotten right back to me to explain themselves. At this point, I'm going to have a very hard time telling people about the benefits of this company with the knowledge that they have bounced a check on me. How do I get my money back - all of it? I feel like this company is inept and fraudulent, not just a scam. Does anyone know any attorneys that go after companies like this?

The is the same company that is headquartered out of a P.O. Box in an Arizona UPS Store and people wonder why Vance suggested a red flag.

Students Pay for Online College Courses through MLM Businesses

Posted on 30 September 2011.

A college education is by no means cheap, and for many the high price of tuition is enough to keep them from obtaining the education they need to be successful in life. No one wants to graduate college with tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt, yet many have no other choice but to consider federal loans. However, in addition to taking full advantage of scholarships and federal aid, many college students are beginning to pay for their endeavors.

While free online college courses may be unheard of, being able to make enough money online to pay for your courses isn't. In fact, several students are beginning to start their own freelance, tutoring, or MLM businesses simply to pay for their tuition and other school expenses. For those who don't necessarily want to start their own business, but would like to have a majority of control over the business that they do, they should consider a MLM business.

Many students find great success with MLM businesses, and some even choose to make their MLM business their career after college. A few of the more popular programs include:

Vector

For those who are more avid salespersons, choosing to work for Vector may be a good option. Through Vector, students will set up appointments and be paid per appointment. In their appointments they will try to sell CutCo knives to those in the appointment, and if they do sell a set of knives, they receive a percent of what they sell.

Out of the programs listed, working for Vector is a little more strenuous because of the time obligations. The knives are exceptional, but expensive, so they aren't as easy to sell as some of the other products offered by other MLM businesses. However, the payouts from Vector can be incredibly large and worthwhile.

Mary Kay/Avon

Becoming a Mary Kay or Avon representative is a highly popular choice amongst women. When working for either company, representatives are considered independent and work to sell cosmetics, perfumes, hair products, jewelry, and other feminine products. They also work to grow their business and receive bonuses by bringing in others to become representatives underneath them.

Most representatives host parties or get-togethers to sell products or recruit new reps, and most college students who work as representatives work around 20 hours per week. However, a student does set their own schedule so they can work as many hours as they seem fit to make their Mary Kay or Avon business the most profitable for them.

AmWay Global

AmWay Global offers students the opportunity to create their own online store. Students can choose to sell a wide variety of products online or specialize in a few health-related products. Once they sign up with AmWay, students are given a domain name and an already created site, and must simply try to get friends, family members, and others that they might know to purchase products through their store. Site owners get rewards for each item purchased through their store.

In addition to running an online business, students are also encouraged to bring on new recruits. For each new recruit who successfully signs up for the program, the student receives a cash bonus. The amount received monthly grows with each additional person brought on by that student.

There are a wide variety of online options for those interested in paying their way through college. MLM options allow students to set their own schedules and to work for as much or as little of money needed. Very few have high obligations, but students are encouraged to thoroughly review any business they are interested in prior to signing up with any company.

Stratégie du NPC dans le choix des domaines

Posted on July 29, 2011, filed in the case studies by Heiza

I have long thought that when you buy a domain or web address of your site, it already comes with the features that are necessary to obtain a functional site. When my friend planned to put in place its own site travel and food, the first thing it to buy a domain.  Without no background in the Web site of construction, it has been lost on how to proceed. I could easily picture myself in the same situation because I do also have an in-depth knowledge in the Web site creation. I am therefore today, share with you the pieces of information that I obtained NPC on areas and accommodation in the hope to give you a simple plan when you choose your domain and hosting plan.

Choose your domain is crucial, because it greatly affects how google and other search engines give you the traffic. Here's NOC4 directions in the choice of your domain.

1 Make sure that your domain will reflect what is your Web site. In short, do not buy www.makeupsecrets.com if cooking of your niche.
2 Never resolve nothing lessthan one.Com extension You can already encountered Web sites with other extensions like .org, .info, .edu, .gov, but anything, always choose .com on these because that is the extension that is favoured by many search engines.
3. Your domain should contain your main keyword.
4 Avoid as much as possible the hyphens, as it is not a Web site look legitimate.

The question on the choice of the areas if installed, Let's proceed now to the accommodation. In easier words, the accommodation is the House where our Web site will reside. For other people view your Web site, you need a hosting service so that the information you published is accessible by anyone. In sum it up, without a domain and a hosting package, users will be ever able to view your Web site, because these two elements always come hand in hand.

Buy a domain typically will cost about $ 10 and the amount that you will invest on accommodation will depend on the characteristics of your Web site. If you are a beginner like me and your target is the sale of information products, is the most basic package. But if you are registered at the NAC, you get also 15 individual areas of hosting packages. There is also a feature that you can configure your site in half an hour. All of the NOC is really one-stop, especially for first time internet entrepreneurs and I'm a satisfied student.
