On November 12^th Don Martin wrote an article and we sent out a general email describing changes to US Business Network. We will be providing more information and examples of the new simplified commission plan and more vendors that are in process.

One of the changes described will begin today December 1. We have introduced several new management and marketing tools. One of the key changes is that the Business Builder Websites are now part of a new Marketing Package. If you have not subscribed to the Marketing Package then your Business Builder Website is not currently active.

The Marketing Package provides you with these key Benefits:

1. A Business Builder Website to help you sell USBN vendor services and build your team. It is your personal website where you should direct both customers and potential team members.
   1. A personalized site with your picture and contact information
   2. It provides access to service information and referral forms for those services
   3. It provides a new member registration page where members are directly joined to your team.
   4. It has video and article marketing built in to use any of the USBN articles or videos to help draw people to your site.
   5. A contact form for potential customers and team members to contact you directly
2. Email and Banner Templates
   1. There are 3 types of templates:
      1. Email – These templates are customized for you to send to your distribution list. The message may be about a particular product or service, point the recipient to one of your targeted pages or help you build your team. The links contained in the message will point them to your Business Builder Website or one of the Targeted Marketing pages.
      2. Banner – These templates are pieces of HTML code that can be posted into web sites, blogs and social sites to link viewers back to your Business Builder Website or one of your Targeted Marketing pages.
      3. Simple Link – Like the banner, this is a piece of HTML code that links the viewer back to your Business Builder Website or one of your Targeted Marketing pages. However, there is no associated image, just text.
3. Targeted Marketing Site
   1. The Targeted Marketing Sites are single message sites that have a video and a giveaway (usually an ebook) on a particular topic. The point of the site is to find people that have an interest in a particular service or message. To get the giveaway, the person must provide a Name and EMail address.
   2. Once the email address is provided, an email is sent to the person with the giveaway (ebook) attached or a link to the giveaway. The email message will usually contain more information and a way to contact you or a link to that service on your business builder site.
   3. This lead is also forwarded to you to contact for more information.
4. Business Directory
   1. The Business Builder Websites, Targeted Marketing Pages and your Profile page in US Business Network are all ways to expose yourself to the public. We also provide a business directory to the general public where you can also advertise.
   2. The information in this listing can be about you or your company. It is up to you. In does not necessarily need to relate to your involvement in US Business Network. I have added my own business there and have gotten a couple of leads from it in the last year.

There is no requirement to subscribe to the marketing package. If you choose not to subscribe to the Marketing Package, you can still build a team and sell the products and services.

To register a new team member, send them to the Registration Page and have them put in your Member Code in the Leader Code box. If you are not sure what your member code is, you can find it on your profile in the Info Tab Here.

To submit a referral, you can use the Offerings Page and submit it from there.

Along with these new marketing features come another group of Referral and Team Management features that are available to every registered member. I have created a series of videos that describes all of these new features.

1. Part 1 - This video describes features available to non-registered users
2. Part 2 - This video describes features available to members, including the new Referral and Team Management features
3. Part 3 - This video describes the new Marketing Package features.

The Marketing Package subscription is $19.99 a month. You can prepay one year in advance for $199.00 which costs less than 10 months of the monthly subscription. To subscribe to the Marketing Package Click Here.

We are seeing a lot of activity right not with our new service offerings. We believe that these changes are the right ones to further accelerate that growth.

Please let us know what you think about these changes in the Network Happenings Group forums.

We are currently working on making a number of changes to the US Business Network Website.

Those changes will be coming incrementally during the next week.

Some of the changes include:

1. A cleaner look and feel
2. Opening more areas of the site to the public
3. Consolidation of Vendor Referrals with their groups
4. A new channels area with four Channels to start: Business, Marketing, Finance and Technology
5. New Marketing Templates
6. A new Support Center

Some changes to the site access have already been made but may not be apparent unless you went directly to one of those pages.

Some of these changes are cosmetic, some are required based on the growth in the number of vendors we have as well as new opportunities we will make available in the coming weeks.

If you see anything that keeps you from conducting business, please send an email to support@nsage.com
