Empower Network
by Rik Rollins
Empower Network
Thinking about joining David Wood’s Empower Network?
But what is it, exactly?
Is it a turnkey mlm lead generation system?
A full-blown online attraction marketing funnel?
Is it a new MLM… or a super-sexy affiliate program?
Is “empower network” designed as a funded proposal or to replace your primary network marketing business?
Let’s take a closer look, put a few rumors to rest and discover a few insider secrets that may surprise… no, SHOCK YOU !
The Empower Network
The Empower Network (empowernetwork.com) is the brainchild of David Wood and David Sharpe. The system was officially launched on Halloween, October 31st 2011.
Over $250,000+ in affiliate commissions were deposited directly in founding members’ bank accounts within the first 72 hours and, despite a server crash and a few other snafus along the way, the Empower Network rocket cleared the launch pad and blasted straight into orbit at a velocity seldom seen within the internet marketing arena.
So why all the excitement? Is this it… or should we keep looking?
The best answer to that question is:
It depends.
Because… If you are looking for a new type of proven affiliate program that offers an unusually high income potential – empowernetwork.com may be exactly what you are looking for.
The magic is you can get started for as little as $25 per month and earn up to $625 per sale on the front end and even more money on the back end. All monies (sales) are paid instantly and directly into your own bank account (we’ll talk more about this in a minute), and this is especially inviting to those who like to promote using paid advertising methods because there is enough profit margin available to make paid advertising profitable.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a new network marketing opportunity… or if you are looking for a turnkey solution that drops easy commissions out of the sky with the wave of a magic wand… or if you are looking for something for nothing… or you come to the table with no list, no facebook account, no twitter followers – bare to the bone with absolutely nothing going on – and you NEED to make $1,000 tomorrow… then empower network is not for you.
Empower Network System – $25
Empower Network Review
The cost to join the Empower Network is only $25 per month. This gets you “in the door” and instantly set up with your own search engine optimized blog.
Nothing to install.
Simply make a few easy changes to how you want your name, bio and pic to appear and you’re done…. you’re ready for action.
Notice the social media elements like “share this” and the RSS feed is already coded. This is nothing for you to do except… 1) Blog Daily… 2) Tell Others… 3) Make Money.
Well now… let’s back up the boat. There is at least TWO other things you must do to cash in the most money with empower network and neither one of them is discussed up front like they should be. So let talk more about that now…
Empower Network – Full Disclosure
While it does cost only $25 per month to join empower network and get your own blog, if you want to make money with the program you must also jump through a few very easy “hoops” to be able to start having the commissions deposited directly into your back account.
You have two choices:
- Apply for a merchant account (Best, but takes 24 hours)
- Tie in your PayPal Account (Easy and immediate)
A merchant account is nothing more than a service you sign up for that lets YOU take visa and mastercard for payment just like all the other big boy marketers out in the world.
It’s not a big deal and they have a video tutorial that walks you through the entire process which takes about 10 minutes – click here, do this… then this… then this. Pretty easy stuff. And the benefit is you will now be able to collect credit card payments for anything you want to sell in the future. For example, let’s say you have a garage sale with an expensive item available. You can take VISA!
But if you do not want a merchant account, simply add your PAYPAL email to a form in the back office – click SAVE – and you’re done. You’re ready to start raking in the big bucks!
Empower Network for Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is simply selling another person’s product or service to earn a commission and it is by far one of the fastest, easiest ways to get started making a significant income online.
Historically, the challenge has always been you find a great product or service to promote and now you are left to make your first “marketing decision” – HOW are you going to promote this new product or service on a consistent basis over an extended period of time.
Because NO PRODUCT sells itself regards of many claims to the contrary.
So if you want to get paid in affiliate marketing or even by the empower network – YOU must “set up shop” and start learning how to promote whatever it is you are selling.
With the empower network you are given a fully functional,fully optimized blog for this purpose. So the idea is to:
- Blog Daily
- Market Daily
- Make Money
So let me ask you this? What are you going to blog about? And why would you do that?
If you were not able to answer those questions immediately and without hesitation – then I would suggest you venture over to take a peek at my free 5 Day Attraction Marketing Bootcamp before you join our empower network team… or, better, join our team here and I’ll give you complete access to my private team training site where we’ll discuss exactly what you need to be blogging about and why.
Even more important, what to do once you have published your blog posts – because if you miss this step you will have wasted your time. (Hint: If you do not promote your blog posts you will never get traffic. No traffic means no visitors and no visitors means no sales and no commissions earned. Ooops!)
Empower Network for Network Marketing
Empower Network can be used as a lead generation, funded proposal type of system.
Simply add highly targeted, keyword-rich articles to your blog – and promote each post to rank well on the search engines.
Consider putting together a short “bootcamp” showing other frustrated network marketers exactly how they could best use EN to generate daily leads on demand, pocket a few extra affiliate commissions and back end their primary.
So yeah, I’m confident the Empower Network can be effectively used as an online mlm lead generation system if promoted properly.
It is time for you to GET STARTED NOW.
Bless and be blessed,

Hey Rob… I think you are a good guy – so don’t take this the wrong way. But for David to ‘bad mouth’ the Guru’s and talk about their underhanded ways… he himself deceives you by not doing a full disclosure — totally dishonest.
I was ready to pull the trigger and join until I read your post about having to get a merchant account… and who knows what else is lurking in the shadows.
While it’s not much to join initially – 25 bucks, but for the sign up page to say there is no refunds when there’s not a full disclosure by intentional omission – a few people might find themself on the wrong side of the badge.
You can’t do that to people and I’ll never understand why people feel they have to be sneaky when being totally upfront would benefit them more in the long run.
I expect his ‘fans’ to defend him… but it’s crap like this that’s ruining things for all of us.
Earl

Earl, I have to agree with you – which is why I made a full disclosure here. I’m sure if people “got in” and later decided, because of the merchant account requirement, they didn’t want to stay involved – the referring person would give them a refund. I know I would.
Because it is a new launch, I’m sure they are still working out a few bugs and, from what I understand, are jumping through the hoops to become “PayPal” approved. Should this happen, the merchant account issue will be null and void.
It’s a great program and I would suggest offering a “bit of grace” during the crazy launch phases.
I find it really too expensive commitment for an unproven venture.starting out in mlsp is enough for now.
Richard – it’s a matter of perspective, I think. Any program is too expensive is you get in and don’t do anything with it. Yet if you get in, do what you need to do to produce a profit – it’s too expensive to pass up.
It’s all a matter of perspective, isn’t it?
Sign up and treat it like a business and it will pay you like a business. Sign up, do nothing, and it will be yet just another expense.
Steve-
Empower Network is a tremendous opportunity for anyone to start their own business and make 100% commissions How much money is that worth? If you think you start a business and not have any overhead then it’s not a real business, it’s a scam. Time or Money pick one…..
direct deposit is all i can say
Yeah, Tanisha – there is a LOT to be said able having commissions earned dropped directly in your bank account. Most of the time we “withdraw” and this gives everyone the opportunity to make daily deposits. Gotta love it.
Hey Rob, did it read it correctly?
Seems you edited the original article (understandable), and you can now use Paypal and not required to have your own merchant account? Seems to be the case.
If this is the case… is it a true $25 a month now or have I missed something?
Earl
Earl – right. They have now been paypal approved.
To able to get your OWN content on an aged domain like that, it’s a no brainer!
So what do you blog about exactly..? JUST the empower network stuff? Are there any real blogs that deal with real world content aside from the empower network?
John – the key to using the Empower Network is you can blog about whatever you want. So, for example, let’s say you are currently trying to make money online as an Amazon affiliate offering antique barbie dolls. You can post about those and give out your affiliate links. If you are a golfer and want to share about golfing – blog about that. It DOES NOT MATTER because you can use the system to promote whatever you want. it’s your blog. The MAGIC is when people visit your blog they will see the Empower Network videos, click through, learn about the program and many of them will join. So they might click your affiliate link and buy an antique barbie AND join Empower Network and you get paid again.
Hi Rob, love your review. I looked into this, but I am curious because I didn’t see a cancellation clause in the TOC. Just in case someone wants to cancel after joining, what is the procedure? Also, do US residents have the option of using PayPal or getting a Merchant Account? The info I read appears that only non US residents can use PayPal. Thanks!
Once you join, in your back office there are two links to terminate your account. One link cancels all future payments – the other you can use to actually remove yourself from the database so you stop getting future updates and things like that. So they make it very easy to cancel if you want to do that. Anyone can use the Paypal set up – so US or others. It’s the fastest way to get set up. Just add your paypal email and you’re ready to start making money.
Yes, blogging has a whole new meaning now. You can really tell who works it. Thanks for your tips Rob!

Indeed. One of my team members added two post targeting very competitive keywords. Both ranked front page of Google within 24 hours. It is absolutely insane how well this is working.
“Indeed. One of my team members added two post targeting very competitive keywords. Both ranked front page of Google within 24 hours. It is absolutely insane how well this is working.”
Front page of google is great but not good enough. Need top 3. Any examples of this? If I had a huge list like you and others I would be all in. It seems like that’s who is making all the money…the ones with the huge lists. Even though the domain is aged and it’s fast becoming an authority site, I’m still skeptical of getting into the top three of google just by writing an article, even with proper seo technique.
Rob you rock and are one of the good guys! If I do end up joining it will probably be with you. After all, $25/month using paypal…..it’s worth just trying it. Although I will avoid the upsells until I actually see traffic and sales.
Actually this guy did rank #2 and #3 for these competitive keywords. And while ranking 1-3 is the holy grail, I get a TON of traffic to this blog right here from keywords that rank anywhere on the front page of google.
Not every post you write and promote will rank. Not every post you write and promote will even get indexed. The idea is by posting and promoting on an authority site – it gives you that much more of an advantage. And you are right, the big money will always be made by those who have a list. Big money fast. So if you don’t have a list – when will you get started building one? Now is a good time. And the Empower Network viral blogging system is a good way to make that happen. Leads and cash flow. That’s the name of the game.
Hi Rob,
I am brand new at all of this internet marketing stuff and it seems alot to get your head around, but I desperately need to make some decent money quickly (a personal matter) and would love to work from home in and around my family. I don’t have a list or leads or anything like that so who do I post to? to get to join the empower network? that part of it is confusing to me but I would love to give it a go, if I had someone to guide me or give me that confidence I need. Do you give that sort of help? If so, I would commit 100% – I need this but don’t know where to begin with all this marketing and how to set up a face-book fan page etc, twitter, and youtube and it seems overwhelming but if other people have done it – why not me? Look forward to your reply.
Cheers – Lisa (from Australia)
Lisa – thanks for stopping by and reaching out. You shared, “I don’t have a list or leads or anything like that so who do I post to?” – which is exactly the same position most people find themselves in… no list, no database, no marketing experience, etc.., etc. And that’s what joining Empower Network solves. See you get a blog that will rank if you post content on it and promote as they teach. That’s all you have to do. So I actually give you access to my private team training site that shows you what to post, why, and how to promote it to attract people to your content JUST LIKE YOU were attracted to this post. Make sense? Come on in… the water is fine.
can you track how many visitors coming in and the conversion rate on empower network blog like you would if you have a personal blog?
how do you do that?
Short answer, yes. You can track conversions because the leads have to optin first – then they join or don’t join. Traffic to your blog can me measured a variety of ways.
In your bootcamp, you mentioned driving lots of back links to the same article directories that show up on the 1st page of google. Is that not the case anymore if have EN blog?
Will the EN blog out rank the top results with massive back links?
Bruce – in the bootcamp I was sharing the benefit of targeting and posting content on authority sites like ezinearticles, squidoo and hubpages BECAUSE they are authority sites that tend to rank higher, fast than a brand new site you might set up. To get these pages to rank you still need to promote them. The benefit with EN is now YOUR BLOG instantly comes with authority status – so just post to your own blog, get links and rake in the cash.
Hey Rob couple of questions about the blog.
Is the blog hosted by the EN servers or do you need to provide hosting?
Does the blog reside on a domain name or a subdomain off of one of the EN owned domain names?
Is it a full functional wordpress blog that you get access to the admin dashboard and can add plugins?
And finally they provide any training/instruction on how to promote the blog to get traffic to it?
Thanks
–Rick
Rick – they give you a blog hosted on the empowernetwork.com/yourblog. You have access to limited functionality at this point – you can post, add graphics, videos, tags, etc. Google sitemaps and all the seo stuff is coded in. There is nothing you need to install. Later they will open the functionality wider to add different headers, plug ins and things like that. The idea, now, is to sign up and simply start posting and promoting. Think “Content is King” and just get busy. They have massive amounts of training, plus I offer access to all my team training materials as well.
Rob,
How much time are you putting into this business per week?
Zac – I make my living on the internet and earn a multiple six-figure income in affiliate marketing and network marketing. Empower Network is just ONE of a half dozen things we do. So I would say I spend about 30 minutes per day just on EN right now.
thanks for the answers rob, but i’m still a bit confused. i have my own blog, which is about 2 years old, do i drive back links to both EN blog and my blog? will that rank high comparing to ezine articles and the rest of the authority site?
OR do i drive back links to EN blog and promote ezine articles, squidoo…etc?
which method will rank higher?
Bruce – “Do I drive back links to both EN blog and my blog?” Yes, yes, yes.
“Will that rank high comparing to ezine articles and the rest of the authority site?” Yes, yes, yes!
Your Empower blog IS an authority site. Forget about all other authority sites. YOU now own and control your own.

Sir,
I’m hearing a lot about blogs and how it is a way to make money. Well I’ve been blogging daily since the 4th of november and my Blog is still not working. I’ll be upgrading this week but if I do I’ll only have 1 more month because all my money will be gone and then I will have to quit. Blogging would keep me in but the problem is my Blogs are not getting out. I have 0 responses and 0 clicks on all of them. I put in a ticket for support and haven’t gotten any response. I am glad for the webinar but How can I even ethically sell a product that hasn’t even shown results.
Any advice other than “hang in there?”
Reply
Chris – blogging is not an “overnight” way to make money online. Not only do you need to post to your blog, you must PROMOTE your blog. Link to your posts on Facebook and twitter. Participate in forums and link to your blog from the signature field. Connect with people interested in making money and send them your link. Most important – GET BACKLINKS to your blog posts. Figure AT LEAST a good 3-6 month plan of posting and promoting JUST to actually “get good” at marketing online. If you are IN for 30 days… and decide because you aren’t getting results it’s time to quit and move one… frankly, I don’t there is anything out there that “works” in 30 days without a list. Keep your expectations real…
Reply
is 5 daily searches too low to get people to click through and profit?
lets say for example, if the keyword, nu kin scam, has 5 searches a day, is it worth it to blog and try to get it ranked?
can i see it as… if i have 10 keywords that each has 5daily searches, that’s 50 searches a day, that has a higher chance of profiting?
Thanks!
Hope you have a great thanksgiving weekend!
Reply
If these are 5 EXACT MATCH searches, then it makes sense because you can build lots of pages and the volume will add up. If these are 5 broad searches… nope, makes no sense at all as the real searches would be much lower. Basically you want to target long-tail less competitive keywords which is a very powerful strategy long term. But think VOLUME. Lots of content and lots of backlinks.
Reply
Rob, I actually followed your method from your 5th day boot camp using Market Samurai to do the keyword research. I found a list of keywords that have 5 or more searches a day. Is that consider EXACT MATCH searches? or 5 broad searches?
Because I found a lot of them that has low searches and low competition. all green = go go go right?
But it bothers me with the 5 searches a day, it seems like it doesn’t make any sense to try to rank them due to the low volume of searches.
What would be a good daily search volume?

Hi,I have done a little network marketing without success to date,im interested in joining your team,im really confused about the part “use your blog to blog about anything”will the blog have the empower logos all over it,if so,i dont understand how i could blog about (lets say animals) & have the empower logos all over the blog.if i was to blog about animals,how would this work with the empower logos,would i be able to add affiliate links about animals to the blog???how could i cloak the links etc etc????.im just a little confused as to what the blog would be all about or would it be a mixture of topics????.Many thanks

Nicky – the idea is to simply drive traffic to the EN blog. So you could post about dogs and when people visit to read about dogs, because they love dogs, a few will spot the banners – click through and many will join. It’s classic “advertising” or what I call a compulsive purchase. You go to the store to buy milk and yet pick up a compulsive candy bar at checkout. Should you decide to join our team – we will send you content to post to the blog every month free as part of the deal. These articles will be in the make money, internet marketing and affiliate marketing niche to attract the right people. Join Here

Rob,firstly i would like to thank you for the quick response,its very unusual these days to get a quick response to questions.Would the blog have a control panel to control the blog,ie to enable me to insert any affiliate links i like?.would i be able to download software onto the blog to enable me to cloak my affiliate links?.I currently use wordpress for blogging & as you know with wordpress you can download plugins to enable you to cloak links etc etc,many thanks
Reply
No, not right now. Right now they have very limited functions because they are still LAUNCHING and it helps to have everyone promoting the same banners, etc. Later they will open functionality to add your own headers, etc., and theme it out the way you want. So for now you could use bitly.com or something like that to cloak the links and it works exactly like any other blog – post, add pictures, videos, add links, bold, etc. So right now – no, you can’t add plugins.

How many backlinks can you usually get using ALL the tools you recommend?
Article Marketing Robot (back links from article directories)
Unique Article Wizard (back links from blogs)
Tribepro.com (social media backlinks)
Magic Submitter (massive backlinks from everywhere)
Automatic Backlink Creator (if you have a personal blog)
Digi Blaster (if you have a personal blog)
If promoting 2 blogs, would the back links be divided by two and will not be as powerful?
Thanks
Reply
Judy – most of the backlinking tools let you promote two links at a time, so you can promote both blogs. The combination of all the tools, especially if you use tribepro to the fullest… you can get 5,000 to 10,000 backlinks to each post on each blog. It gets a little crazy. Of course most of the time you do NOT need this many backlinks to rank front page of Google. But it SCARES the crap out of competition who might be thinking about going after the same keywords.

Reply
Thanks!
So as a newbie that’s VERY SERIOUS about this business and want to create MASSIVE RESULTS within the next 90days like you did. Which backlink tools do you recommend? Or simply all of the above?
Is there a top 3 you have to use EVERY SINGLE POST? Or you use all of them for all the posts?
Do you think you can out rank a keyword that has 2000 backlinks using those tools?
Thanks SO MUCH!
Reply
Judy… if you get more backlinks than the competition AND have a site with authority – you’ll outrank them. I spend about $250 PER MONTH just on backlinking tools and subscriptions so I don’t ever even concern myself with the competition. So you have to decide, based on the tools you have, how competitive you think you can be. The primary tools are AMR, UAW and Tribepro for EVERY post you publish.
Reply
OK, I understand everything but where the
money comes from to pay affiliate’s/member’s commissions.
If it’s costing $25/month for each member(minimum)
where does that money go? … Something I am not getting
Can you please explain?
Thank you,
John
Reply
To the person that referred them. This program pays 100% commissions. So you join at the $25 level, then you will earn the full $25 per month when you refer someone. The company makes money on merchant account fees and also when THEY refer people – just like everyone else promoting it.

Hi! I´d just like to add that I just joined and since I live in Sweden it was perfectly ok to use PayPal.
I´m just in love with these guys. Let´s give them the energy they need and appreciate the good work. It´s a wonderful.
Reply
hi rob,with the memebrship,anyother fees?or thats it the 25 a month?
Reply
No, not unless you decide to upgrade. However, I PERSONALLY recommend you invest in a few backlinking tools and things like that to help promote the program. But for the program itself – nope, $25 per month and you’re in.
Reply
Rob,Im ready to join your team,one final question.Do you offer any training or guidance on getting this product off the ground??.
Reply
They do… I do… and lots of the leaders do. Not only will you learn what to do and how to do it… you can watch over our shoulders and we make it happen as well.
Reply
Hi, I just joined under a person I met locally. Just signed up for my merchant account, and see the dialogue on using paypal. I was told paypal also charges to accept recurring monthly charges…which is what the $25 is…recurring. Is that true? I wouldn’t have joined with the merchant account if I could do the same stuff with paypal.
Was I misinformed?
Reply
Hi Lynn – no, you weren’t misinformed. As a member you have the choice between using paypal or a merchant account. There are additional fees with using a merchant account (about $30 per month) but when you build a big business this will save you a long in the long run because the per transaction fees work out to about 3%. Paypal charges $0.25 per transaction and 5% of all monies that come in. No monthly fee… so for a “tiny” business paypal works well or for international clients – but long run it can actually be more expensive.
Reply
Can you start with a Paypal account and switch to a merchant account once the business is bigger?
Rob, I really appreciate the no nonsense, no faking, for real review you gave this product — formally known as “full disclosure”. That info about opening the merchant account (or using paypal) is key! It is so critical that people remain grounded in reality when they take on these kinds of ventures. So much hype (although I believe that this thing has great potential for anyone who sticks with it), and you can become disappointed fast once your feet touch the ground of hard work, consistency and educating yourself to succeed. Thanks… Oh, I got the original email from someone else, and I like to stay with the original source if I can but there is no substitute for strong support when swimming the tide of internet marketing.
Reply
Elmira – Thank you for your feedback. Let me share, however, while I do agree sometimes it SEEMS like we should stick with the person who first introduced us to a product, service or business opportunity – it quite often is not in YOUR best interest to do that. For example, when I joined my most recent primary network marketing deal – the person who first introduced me had had ZERO success in any business, and had ZERO tools or training or resources available for his team. So support and/or the hope of “credible” valuable future support was lacking. So I purposely tracked down a person (team) that did have support and training. Is this unfair to the guy who first introduced me? I don’t know, but until they step up to pay my bills and feed my dog – I am led to sign up with those already having success because by simply “modeling” you puts the odds of success in your favor.
Reply
Rob,
This is basically a blog network yes? If I still have to drive all the traffic and do all the backlink building, is is basically just that they have the blog optimised on site, and have banners for the empower network on the blog? Are you saying that articles on this blog will rank more easily than on my own blog?
I too run several systems at the moment. How is this any different from other blog networks with affiliate ads already loaded?
Reply
Yes, Paul… for $25 a month you get a blog already installed and ready to post to from an authority site coded with links to encourage people to sign up. When they do, you earn 100% commissions. So this is a great program for the beginner or even the more experienced marketer to “get in the game” very quickly. No tech stuff, no installing. Just sign up and start publishing and promoting. In many cases, your posts on this blog will rank higher, faster than those on your own site due to the authority of the main domain. Best practice then, if you have your own sites, is to publish on your own site… create a non-duplicate copy and post it on the EN blog… and backlink both. Who cares which one ranks? And you have the chance now of actually ranking twice front page from two different domains.
Reply
Thank you Rob,
If I literally drive thousands of visitors to this blog – will it exceed bandwidth? I have suffered with this before on other sites on ‘shared hosts’.
Also, you mention in another post that you will provide content for your team to post. Is this unique or just PLR?
Thank you,
Paul
Reply
Paul, this site is hosting on the cloud with the same massive servers as sites like amazon, etc. Servers are computers so you can always expect challenges. On our team, depending on level of participation, we will be giving everyone UNIQUE content and actual backlinking processes as well. Lots and lots of great stuff happening here.
Reply
Hey Rob, great site.. I’m looking forward to listening to your interview on the inner circle. A quick question I have 4 or 5 blogs I’ve not touched for several months, all about a year old, got content and I have lots of comments posted on them… anything I can do with them to help my empower blog? Thanks
Reply
Yep, go through some of the older posts and link back to your empower network blog posts that make sense. Then start posting too all of these sites again to get the search engines “spidering”. Once they start coming back, add your EN RSS feed to automatically post to these older blogs and watch the magic happen.

Hi,
I am beyond interested in Empower Network! I really like what you are saying and resonate with your demeanor and detailed explanations on Empower Network.
Wondering..How realistic is it to be successful in Empower Network if you are completely new to online marketing, don’t have a list or it is small, and have not been involved at all with social media?
I have been involved in mlm companies but I was not successful in making money, but mostly spending on the products and going to the meetings, trainings, etc.. But, I have never been so excited about a company as I am with EN! I’m a busy stay at home mom who is extremely motivated to do what it takes to succeed. I’m just wondering if it is difficult to build a down line when you don’t have the type of reputation online that entices prospects to sign up with you. I want to know that I’m signing up with leaders who really know what they’re doing and can effectively train me with their strategies and techniques(like you guys!) So, when you are brand new.. how do you persuade people to sign with you and in turn do an excellent job training them? Do you refer to your up line’s training videos and sites? A bit confused..
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Dawn. You asked, “Wondering..How realistic is it to be successful in Empower Network if you are completely new to online marketing, don’t have a list or it is small, and have not been involved at all with social media? ”
The best answer is to simple follow what they teach. “Blog Daily.” That’s it in a nutshell. So the goal is to publish content and promote the content to rank on the search engines. Drive traffic to the site. Don’t worry about selling. The selling is done for you.

Hi Rob,
I am interested in EN, and searching for a business to join. My question about EN blogs ~ Who owns the blogs and content? If one was to unsubscribe for example, does the blog and the content stay with EN?
It seems like a great opportunity, but I hesitate on the idea of building a blog whose contents went to someone else at the end of the day.
Thanks…

Julie – link any HOSTING service, while you remain active the content is yours and is made available live online. Stop paying (for example I stop paying my hosting bill) and the web site “goes down” never to be seen again. The EN blog is exactly the same. It’s your blog and your content as long as you continue to remain an active member. Unsubscribe and it “goes down” just like any other web site hosting service.

Hi Rob,
Signed up with you last night, on the BasicPlan.
Today I recieved something of a windfall, via PayPal. Now I’m seriously considering, up-grading to the InnerCircle level.
What should I do next?
Thanks
Bob
ps: I signed up with you because of your valuable explanations, here on your blog! We all need some help, from time to time.

Don’t you love it, Bob when a plan works out? I say go upgrade ASAP because you can only earn commissions on what you have personally purchased and the conversions have been nothing short of spectacular – I’ve had 50% of the Basic Level upgrade to the Inner Circle level and 40% of the Inner Circle team upgrade to the Mastermind.

Brilliant post Rob, what if you publish content on your blog first, get it indexed in Google, then put that same content on your Empower Network blog?
Reply
Not the SAME content. Never publish 100% duplicate content because that is a waste of time. Rewrite your content to make it at least 30 unique – then republish and promote.

Rob,
I am curious about the whole thing. Lets say I sign up and am a member now. I invite 50 of my friends over to my house and they all sign up under me. Do I get $25×50 every month because they signed up? Assuming they keep their membership of course? And if that is the case, do I need to even blog or can I just continue to sign people up under me to get the $25 per person plus every 4th on the people they sign up or whatever it is? Im very confused. Thanks
Reply
Right. You earn 100% commissions on everyone who stays active PER MONTH as long as they stay active. You “pass up” your 2nd, 4th, 6th and every 5th sale after that to your upline. So if you did bring in 50 people… #2, #4, #6, #11, #16, #21, #26, #31, #36, #41 and #46 would pass up. But keep in mind as your team brings people in… you get the same pass ups from their efforts. It’s magic.

Rob,
I have been looking into the Empower Network for the past couple days as a business opportunity. I retired from teaching 5 yrs ago at an early age, and am looking for an online business. I am not the most computer savy person so I need to learn a lot. My main question has to do with the compensation plan. I understand the three different levels $25, $100, $500, and I understand the 2nd, 4th, 6th and every 5th after that in terms of commissions, but I am having a hard time grasping the payment of all the downline. for example, if I get my friend Joy to sign up under me, I know she gets commission on her 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th etc. people, and I get commission on the others, but then when she signs up people under herself…how do both Joy and I get paid for the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc. people? We both can’t get paid 100% commission on the same people? Am I not understanding the compensation plan correctly?
Thanks
Reply
Evon – don’t understand the comp plan? Don’t feel bad. Most comp plans confuse people. Me included. But let me see if I can help clear things up for you.
There are three things to keep in mind:
1. You only earn commissions for products you’ve purchased.
2. Only ONE person gets paid (the person you are coded to)
3. You pass up your 2nd, 4th, 6th and every 5th sale.
So let’s say you decide JOIN MY TEAM at the $25 and $100 level and you are my 3rd sale for both products. You are now CODED to me and I earn $25 and $100 per month as long as you stay active.
You refer Joy. She joins at the $25/100/500 level and she is your 1st sale. Joy is coded to you at the $25/100 level and you earn those commissions as long as she stays active. But since you did not upgrade to the $500 level, that commission is PASSED UP to me since I’m the first person in line who upgraded to that level.
Now’s let say you learned your lesson so you now upgrade to the $500 level… and Joy goes crazy and brings in seven people who all purchase everything. Joy is coded to her 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th people and earns 100% commissions on those people. YOU are coded to her 2nd, 4th and 6th sales and YOU earn commissions on those. So Joys earns $500 monthly and pocked $2000 in one-time $500 commissions. YOU earn $375 monthly and pocket $1,500.
But here is the magic most people don’t understand. As Joy passes up people to you… they are now CODED you… so YOU will earn the 2nd, 4th, 6th and every 5th sale they make.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the clarification of the compensation plan. I read your response and fully understood what you were saying, but then I read a reply you made to another person’s question about the compensation plan, and I am confused again. Here is what confused me…
“Tony… each product stands alone in the powerline. So you pass up the 2nd, 4th, 6th and every 5th sale after that on a PER PRODUCT basis… not a per person basis.”
I read the explanation to me as per person …every 2nd, 4th, 6th, and then every 5th being coded to me. I get, payed on those people and then I get paid on their 2nd, 4th, 6th, but it’s actually the “per product” which I don’t understand.
Thanks for “holding my hand” through this explanation!
Rob thanks to people like you who are genuine and explain things the way you have. I had a bad experience with someone who is with EN and I was not ready to give up on this opportunity because of them. I kept on looking & I came across your website. I am planning on joining your team but I have some questions. Does it matter as to where I can log into my account from example can I be at Starbucks, the Mall etc and market this concept to people? When I join your team today how long does it take to have me set up & be able to invite my own down line? I already have a Pay Pal account.
Heads up, I don’t have any experience in online marketing or blogging. I’m willing to learn if you are willing to teach me.
Thanks

Cindy – once you JOIN NOW it takes about 5 minutes to add your paypal account so you can start taking orders. It’s a simple process. However, you do need to have a verified paypal account. If you are not yet verified, this can take a couple days.
You can log in from anywhere in the world you have internet access.
On our team I GIVE YOU free content to start posting to your blog everyday. We also GIVE YOU free access to a private team training site that literally shows you step by step how we have built FOUR six-figure businesses online since 1997 without fail. So we teach you how to do the same. It’s a good program and my thought is, if not making money online? What? And if not now… when?
Reply
Hi,
The information you have provided is great. I’ve been looking for a way to make money online for a while now. This seems like a something worthwhile. I’m new to affiliate marketing and blogging. I really would like to join your team. Can a beginner really start making money with this program? If a person follow the steps and training you offer, can they see a return within 6 weeks or so?
Reply
Maggie – absolutely. This program is MADE for beginners because the blog is set up and installed for you. It is coded with high converting videos that sell… so you don’t have to do that. You simply POST to your blog (we teach you WHAT to post) and promote your blog (we teach you HOW). Done deal.
Reply
Hi ? for ya… I understand the 2, 4, 6, 11, 16 etc – Those go to your sponsor but what levels? If I opt into the $ 625.00 with the $ 125.00 being monthly. What if my 2,4,6,11,16 opt in for the $625.00 does all that go to my sponsor or just the $ 125.00 and the $ 500 would come to me?? Also how do you get the Lead generation data from your blog?
Reply
Tony… each product stands alone in the powerline. So you pass up the 2nd, 4th, 6th and every 5th sale after that on a PER PRODUCT basis… not a per person basis. So you might make 10 $25 sales and pass up three to your sponsor and out of those 10… say four upgrade to the $100 inner circle… you would pass up two of those. Then if ONE buys the $500 deal… since it is the first sale of THAT PRODUCT… you would get those monies.
Reply
Great info thanks Rob… If you have someone opt in to the higher product after the initial opt in then they would just fall in line with the product (#) that was being sold? In your backoffice I assume is shows you what has been sold when?
Thanks again
Hi Rob,
I just joined EN and I was searching for other people to get their feedback. I understand if you don’t want to correspond with me since I signed up under another member, but I am wondering if there is a way I can customize my blog like you have done here. Very nice and I really like the way your squeeze page is designed and loaded. You’ve done a terrific job. I look forward to checking your site out for updates.
Reply
At this time you cannot customize the LOOK of your EN blog but they will add these features later. The primary idea behind EN was to make it SIGN UP SIMPLE… sign up and start posting, promoting and making money.
Reply
Hi Rob – First of all, kudos to you for your communications throughout these comments. You have earned my trust as a man with true integrity!
I have lost money to other Internet based programs because I am very green when it comes to Internet marketing. Based on being burned and being on a tight budget, what are your thoughts on coming in at the $25 level and using those profits to accumulate the $100 to upgrade and the same for the $500? I understand I may lose some of the $100 or $500 commissions, but unfortunately, I can’t afford to lose more money.
Also, if I join under you, are there additional charges for training you offer outside of the EN training? Thank you and I look forward to your answer.
Reply
Darren – nope, no additional charges for our training… IN FACT… when you join our Empower Network team not only to we GIVE YOU free training, we GIVE YOU free content to post to your blog every month. Lots of “team share” resources. So, yes, one model is to join at the $25 level, post to your blog every day, and simply tell people about it. It takes only ONE SALE to break even.

Hey Rob,
I love your training…I just discovered your blog a few days ago and am going through your MLSP bootcamp..,.
I am a member of the Empower Network myself…I wish I would have signed up under you. I was wondering if you have any training or membership training for the Empower Network that I can join?
Reply
Hey Aaron – no, my friend, we only offer PRIVATE team training. The bootcamp is open to the public but we keep the “goods” under lock and key exclusive to our team. No sense in helping create our own competition! LOL

Rob – I’m so glad I joined you in Empower Network. I am still going through the boot camp video that I signed up for. I’m just about to watch day 5.
@Evon if u make up your mind to join Rob is the way to go I can assure you.
@Aaron I hope it works for you within your group.
Before I found Rob I was communicating with someone who is already in EN but this was through a different business opportunity. There were issues with my registration & the admin wanted me to send this & that. Well, this kinda of upset my sponsor who was also trying to sign me up for EN. Fortunately, (for me)he showed his other side that I didn’t know existed & that was not professional to me. That’s how I ended up under Rob’s team. Rob thanks for your patience while I couldn’t log in. I’m sure I joined the right team.

I just signed up a week ago and I am still confused, am suppose to have my own business cause I don’t. I thought you wrok for Empower Network and sell Empower Network, and Empower Network Products.
Reply
Donny – you do have your own business. You are paying $25 per month for blog hosting on the empowernetwork.com domain. You also are paying for RESALE RIGHTS to offer people the opportunity to also buy blog hosting. So you can whatever you want on your blog – you can sell or promote or blog about anything you want. You can add photos, pics, affiliate links or do nothing at all. It’s your blog. You can also promote and if you make sales you will earn a 100% commission. So you are not employed by EN nor or you even a 1099 independent contractor because EN does not pay you a commission. You earn 100% commissions for reselling products you have purchased.
Reply
Rob,
Thanks. That makes since. But do you think it is better to sell another product as well. For example it looks like David Wood works with Numis. And if so, what do you suggest.
Reply
I always teach the benefits of creating multiple streams of income but the caveat is that you should PICK ONE to start, get that set up and get your marketing in place and THEN consider picking up another business. Why take another piece of pie when you haven’t even started eating the first piece? That being said, see http://listechinc.com/primarymlm for a Numis overview.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for all the information that I have obtained from you on this topic. As I continue to look at the Empower Network Opportunity, I have several questions. If I signed up for the empower network, and started to drive traffic to my blog that I would begin to write, (I am new to internet marketing), if someone was on my site and they clicked on the ad for Empower Network, if they wanted to find out more about the Empower Network before they signed up under me, wouldn’t they google, “Empower Network”, and want to sign-up under an experienced leader such as yourself? (When I googled “Empower Network”, this site ranks as the third or fourth site on the first page). Also, I have a mailing list that was from an advertising co-op with my upline in my primary MLM. Could I market the Empower Network Opportunity to this list? Thanks again for all the information.
Reply
To your own list, Dennis – YOU have the advantage because of the pre-existing relationship. When people find our blog and you are promoting EN – most people won’t go looking around for a leader. It just doesn’t happen. They SHOULD but it rarely happens. Plus, you should be pre-selling them on your post about why joining your team is a good thing anyway. Even if your original post is about golfing, has a PS and talk about how they should considering your EN team so they can golf more, etc., etc.
Reply
Hi Rob – It’s Darren again. I left you a voice message a few days ago. Hopefully you are enjoying time with your family. Maybe this is better for you at the moment.
I have reviewed much of your information you have available. I am new to Internet Marketing but I understand how most of it works. Would you recommend MLSP to drive business for EN or does the EN opportunity work well on its own? And second question is, it seems like MLSP, EN and HHU will all have great training. I would be afraid of becoming overwhelmed so how would you recommend going about the process with all 3 of those in play? I hope that makes sense. If you would rather explain over the phone, my phone number is on your voice mail. Either way, I look forward to your response. Thanks in advance!
Darren
Reply
Darren – it really doesn’t matter WHAT promote, the HOW to do it is the same. At least the way that I teach it to do. So I would start at the HHU and go from there. MLSP is geared more to attract people already in network marketing and then you backend your primary. Your primary could be EN so it works for that. EN will stand on it’s own but the primary target market is anyone looking to make money online – so it is not limited to only MLMers.

Thanks Rob for all the help

Hi Rob
I am going to join the EN for sure and although as you said not many people look for a good leader, I DO…and this is the type of leader I am looking for:
. You said “I GIVE YOU free content to start posting to your blog everyday. We also GIVE YOU free access to a private team training site that literally shows you step by step how we have built FOUR six-figure businesses online since 1997 without fail”, can WE, your referrals, also offer that to our referrals…can we get to an agreement about that? In the end, EN is about helping each other isn’t it? and this of course will mean more income and more pass ups to you as well. What is your response to this…if yes, I would no longer think about it and join you immediately, although I think I may do it anyway. You are a good leader and I believe you will offer me a good solution.
1. He has to be ranked in the top earners of the leaderboard and you do.
2. He must offer training and support, you do.
3. He should give away a service or product which I am also able to use for my future referrals, because I strongly believe that I do need to offer some value to my referrals (apart from personal support and sharing what I have learned from MY sponsor’s teachings) as a good leader who can fulfill points 1 and 2 as you do.
And here is my question to all this, is there a possibility for us your referrals to use and offer your training products to our future referrals. I just think that it is crucial to offer something in addition to be able to attract referrals and KEEP them attached to our affiliate link
Greetings and “soon” happy christmas.

Demian – I like the way you think. But, yes… I call these “team share resources” meaning you can offer your referrals access to the same training and the same free content. We really do move forward as a TEAM and as a collective community to benefit each other.

Josh – how much time to put into growing your business will depend entirely on the income goals you have set for yourself. We have done tens of thousands in commissions so far but have treated it like a full-time business (4-6 hours per day) for the past two months. You will get in exactly what you put in.

I have a website for my computer business, can I get an EN banner for my site or an ad on my site for EN if I join? Also, if I join your team, does everybody that signs up under me get access your training as well?
Reply
Hi Mike – don’t know about EN banners. I haven’t gone down that road yet. You might have to create your own. When you join our team YOU get access to our training and various “team share” resources and are then able to also share training access and the resources with your new team as well. This gives you the advantage of being able to offer the same bonuses and benefits of joining you and your team as people would get joining directly with me.

Rob,
I am one of the few you spoke of that came upon EN from an email, but took the time to look for more information and good leadership before signing up. I was also looking for honest reviews, be they favorable or unfavorable and have been impressed to not have found a single unfavorable review. That says something. I am also unfamiliar with backlinking and SEO stuff. I was happy to learn you would help your team with these things. Whenever someone offers an “opportunity” it always seems like they want to withhold more specific information about it until they have your money. How refreshing to be able to get all of the particulars before buying! Thank you. I will definitely join your team.
Reply
Thank you, Holly. I appreciate you sharing the fact you were doing your due diligence first. Many people get caught up in the moment and excitement of things and never really stop to ask and answer the question: “How will I promote this?” and “Is there training available if I am willing to make the commitment.” So good for you. I’ll see you on the inside…

How do you “target” keywords? I don’t understand how you blog about that?
Also…should I sign up with Empower Network now…even if I don’t have anything to promote right now?
~Catherine~
Reply
Catherine – the idea behind “targeting keywords” is there are always certain words and phrases people use when searching for information online. For example, last month 1,300 people literally sat down in front of their computers, visited Google and typed in “make money from blogging” and another 1,000 people searched for “how to make money from blogging”. These are keyword or keyword phrases. So the idea would be to write a blog post about “how to make money from blogging”, promote it to rank on the front page of the major search engines so it can easily be found – then share a few ideas (think: Empower Network) that might make a good answer to that question. Empower network IS what you can promote immediately.

What is the best way to drive traffic to your site/ I.E. the Empower Network? Social media? Any suggestions?

Hello Rob, I came here doing research for an article I was hired to write. Your site is the best site I have come across because of how you have explained things. I have a couple of issues. The major issue is I am unemployed and have been for two years so you can imagine the struggles I am going through. I NEED something like this to bring my confidence level back up. I have a couple of blogs but I do not sell anything, so will this work for me? Or should I look into selling my photographs and my self published books? What list are we talking about here? I am almost sold but am still afraid because $25 is a lot of money to me trying to take care of five people at home.

Hi Susan – thanks for reaching out. You know, since you seem to have some online experience let me send you over to my attraction marketing bootcamp to get a good overview about how we use the internet to promote. You HAVE TO start selling something and the easiest way is to find a target market already buying stuff – like frustrated networkers and business opportunity seekers. Empower Network works well for both of these niches.
You might want to also go ready this post as it outlines the “residual income formula” we use in a nutshell. It works. Takes work, but it works. You have the advantage if you are already comfortable writing as the entire process works on content, content and even more content.

Hi Susan,
I too am in the same boat but I figured that I decided to wait until I have the time to dedicate to invest in my online business so that I wouldn’t have any excuse/reason to say that it is not working. So, I started a few weeks ago and have been dedicating time to it each day. I sometimes have to temper my expectations – and remind myself of my overall goal – to help people achieve their goal of having an online business and to make money while doing it. Hang in there. Feel free to contact me if you wish to – my email address is at the bottom of my website.

Tracey-Ann, thanks for stopping by and sharing. And you nailed it… take consistent action and don’t expect fast, easy results. Just keep taking action. The magic will happen.
Hi Rob,
Still working out details to join but that should be real soon now. I’m currently trying to decide who to join under… I’ve posted a couple questions to your blog and only one of them got partially answered, despite the fact that you’re obviously reading and writing other entries over this same time frame.
I’m puzzled about other members who’ve invited me to join, but they don’t seem to have their own blog, or at least nothing in their own words. Searches for other bloggers seems to always net the same few websites/blogs. Where are the rest of the blogs? With thousands blogging it should be easy to find and read many of them.
Some features of the main blog are very troublesome, especially the automatically loading videos. They choke the computer when I’m trying to read information and every page with articles seems choked with additional but identical videos, each of which tries to load – resulting in a lock on my computer where things sort of stall and can’t even be closed without brute force. So the main site seems very unfriendly in a technical sense.
Too much “in your face” is a negative marketing tactic or what could be called “anti-attraction marketing”. Can that stuff be turned off or curtailed for my own blog? I don’t want videos loading until I or a visitor want to watch a video…
Any comments about these kinds of issues?
Reply
Larry, I can’t really answer your questions about the self-loading videos because I don’t see them. I simply post to the Empower Network blog every day and promote it. There are no self loading videos on these pages. For example, here’s a link to one of my blog posts: http://www.empowernetwork.com/4freedom/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-affiliate-marketing/. Now the only way a visitor would see the in your face marketing video would be if they clicked the link on the header or banner on the right. So you can promote whatever you want. Later you’ll be able to change headers, etc.
Reply
Behind every product purchase is a person… so let’s say a $100 sales was passed up to you. The PERSON who purchased this $100 product is coded to you so you will get pass up SALES they make at that level. So you might have a $25 sale passed up to you purchased by FRED. So you will get the 2nd, 4th, 6th and every 5th $25 sale FRED makes passed up to you. But, this does not mean you will get passups from Fred at the $100 or $500 level. That all depends on the “to whom” FRED is coded for each sale at each level.
Reply
So if I sign up at the $625 level, I would get the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th…..$25 , $100, and $500 commission on people who sign up personally right under me, and the 2nd 4th, 6th, 11th…$25, $100, and $500 commission for anyone under someone I personally bring in to Empower Network ?
If this is correct, and I am truly hoping it is…or I am still really confused, does this keep the compensation equal for both me and the person I signed up under?
Reply
Evon – you pass up your 2nd, 4th, 6th and every fifth sale for each product sale at each level. Those PASS UP sales and are now CODED to the person who received the pass up. So that person, to whom the sale was CODED, now gets the 2nd, 4th, 6th and every 5th sale that those people do. So… in the long run… you will get pass ups from your immediate referrals and pass ups from those pass ups and pass ups from those pass ups, etc, etc.
Reply
Evon – absolutely and I would actually recommend everyone start with a Paypal account first for a few reasons:
1. It’s free
2. It’s fast
3. They have a “BRAND” people trust
