Until then, use HNN and your Propay account and take the money you’ve saved to invest in advertising and growing your business!

Summer can be a hard time for many home business, even for Herbalife distributors. With so many families traveling, eating out, and spending time on other activities, it can be hard for distributors to continue to work on their business.

However, people also tend to be more active in the summer, so it’s the best time of the year to lose weight since it’s easier to exercise.

With mid-year approaching, it’s a great time to re-evaluate all of your goals and objectives for the year, and make sure you’re on track both personally and professionally. Consider running a Herbalife Weight Loss Challenge with our LoseBig website. Attend a conference or a webinar so that you’ll continue to grow.

Finally, keep using your HNN retail website as a 24/7 sales agent for your distributor. Be consistent in sending people to your site to learn more, order online, or contact you.

Other ideas for keeping the momentum up in the summer? Let us know!

We’re proud to announce a new tool for HNN members: a FREE customizable recruiting site that you can use to promote the Herbalife business opportunity. It’s called “Work from Home System,” and we’re very excited to bring this exclusively to HNN members. It is NOW available in every country where HNN is currently ‘open for business’.

Initially, the site will be English-only and have limited customization options, but will soon have more languages, options and features. The site is undergoing final testing, but we thought you might enjoy trying it out.

Feel free to browse and try out the demo site here:

http://workfromhomesystem.com/live

The features that we eventually work into the site will be based upon YOUR feedback and suggestions, so we’re excited to be developing this based upon YOUR ideas.

To see your business opportunity website, please follow these instructions:

Go to http://herbal-nutrition.net/ and log in to the Member’s area
Place your mouse over Biz Op in the Menu bar

Select Activate Your Site!

Look over the instructions concerning your username and the video. If no changes are to be made, you are finished! If you make changes, be sure to hit Update at the bottom of the page.

To test the site, go to your new business opportunity site at http://workfromhomesystem.com/yourusername

At this time, all leads will be delivered to the Member’s area under Biz Op. Within the next week, those leads will also be delivered to the email account you use for your HNN retail site.

The main thing you’ll be able to modify at first is the video that appears on the homepage. The video can be replaced with any video that’s hosted on YouTube. This means you could even create your own video, upload it and then … Imagine the possibilities!

Over the next few days, we’ll be adding some more information about this project and it’s ongoing development to the HNN Blog. Check in over the next few days to see what we have planned for the new “Work from Home System” site, and to get a sneak peek at our NEXT project!!

Are you looking to boost local traffic to your HNN website? What if there was a great new way to get local search traffic to your HNN website – without spending a penny?

Local search results in Google.

One of the great things about the Herbal Nutrition Network is that we provide visibility for distributors who are using our services. The locate map on our homepage is designed to send local traffic directly to your HNN website. And since Google is the most popular search engine, you can now increase the likelihood that someone will find you by adding your business information to Google’s new Local Business Center. The local business center is a free service that will allow you to customize the way your business listing appears in Google. You’re able to customize the way your listing appears – you can even link the listing directly to your HNN website and add current promotions and coupons to the listing!

As search engines continue to increase their emphasis on local search results, we only expect to see more localized results from search engines in the future.  Above is a screenshot of a search for “herbalife” in Google on 8/17/2009. The local result appeared automatically about halfway down the page. I did not specify a city name, I just searched for “herbalife”. If you search for “herbalife, Wichita, KS”, you’ll also see local results – but higher up on the page.

This is a relatively new feature from Google, so you can expect to see the listings change from day to day, but we think this is a fantastic opportunity to position your Herbalife distributorship for local growth.

You can read more about the Google Local Business Center here, or you can add your HNN website to the Local Business Center here. As you add your listing, don’t forget to add your complete HNN address to the listing, including your username.

Example: http://herbal-nutrition.net/mark

Also, if you don’t want your home phone number in the listing, check out Google Voice. This is another free tool from Google that allows you to create a new local phone number for free. The Google Voice number will ring the phone number(s) of your choice and even comes with free voicemail.

Believe it or not, when we first launched in 1999, we actually mailed out monthly statements to all of our distributors. We’ve come a long way since then, first using PayPal, then later adding a full-blown merchant account. One of the bad things about our old merchant account was that it didn’t support automatic billing. So, for about the last 9 years, we’ve been stuck with a “prepaid hosting” model which required our members to manually log in and extend their hosting every few months.

From a business point of view, this is a really bad idea because it forces your clients to go to a lot of extra effort to keep their website active.We appreciate all of the distributors who have faithfully supported us through the years, and are pleased to announce that we’ve finally completed a new “automatic billing” feature. It was brought online on Aug 12, and should make your HNN website even easier to use.

We’ve also added a new $9.95/month billing option, which will make it easier for new distributors to get started with HNN without paying for several months up front. So, we’re also more affordable than ever!

Here are a few things you should be aware of. If you’re an existing HNN member, your automatic billing profile will be created the next time you extend your HNN hosting. However, if your “due date” is in the future, your card won’t actually be charged until the “due date” on your account. For example, if you set this up on the 15th, but your site isn’t actually “due” until the 30th, your first payment – and then all subsequent payments – will come out on the 30th of every month.

If you’d prefer to pay in full a year at a time, you can request that we just bill you once per year (you can save over 15% by prepaying for a year, also).

Our referral rewards program will also automagically calculate your discount and adjust your monthly billing. For example, if you refer another distributor to HNN, you can save $2 per month for a Premium HNN referral (they need to join, and then pay for their website before you can get your discount).  The referrals will be calculated automatically on the first of every month, so one month you’ll be charged $9.95, and then by referring another distributor, your next month’s hosting will only be $7.95 and your card will be charged the correct amount automatically. Pretty neat, huh?

Also, all of our prices are posted in US Dollars, so please be aware of that if you’re one of our friends outside of the USA.

Here are our current rates, effective 8-12-09.

Monthly hosting – $9.95/ month
Yearly hosting – $99.95 / year

All new accounts are subject to a one-time $5.00 setup fee.

You can create or edit your automatic billing profile from the Herbal Nutrition Network member’s area.
