My Honest Numis Network Review
Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you undoubtedly know about this new program to hit the network marketing scene…Numis Network. It almost seems like everyone who’s anyone online is promoting this program. I have to admit that I was curious so I signed up, read through the marketing material, the comp plan, and attended a webinar. I did not join though so…
I would like to provide you with a completely unbiased and honest Numis Network Review so that you can make an educated decision for yourself whether or not this program is for you.
The Numis Network Product
The Numis Network product are silver and gold numismatic coins. With your monthly autoship you receive a coin. These coins are in a plastic case and in perfect condition. The idea is that overtime, the coins will appreciate in value…especially if they are kept in perfect condition. The coins are not rare, though, and I’m wondering if the Numis Network grows to mammoth proportions and there are tons of these coins floating around…will that diminish their value?
Who Owns Numis Network?
The ownership of Numis appears to be impressive, with 4 people — Ian Cordell, Christopher Kent, Jake Kevorkian, and Mike Mezack. Their bios show that they have been involved in the network marketing industry for over 10 years each. Numis really pushes Mike Mezack out front, as people apparently know him from coin collecting shows and the Home Shopping Network, as a pitch-man for coins. This is helping lend credibility to the business, which launched in August 2009.
Numis Network Start-Up Cost & Compensation Plan
The cost to join as a distributor is $495, a little hefty in my opinion. After joining, you get on auto-ship for $99.95 per month. There is also a monthly fee of $9.95 to have use of the online marketing system. The comp plan is a binary plan, that looks pretty good to me as far as MLM comp plans are concerned. You can view the compensation plan videos at the corporate site here: Numis Comp Plan.
Summary
I do believe that Numis Network is a legitimate home based business and not a scam. That being said, I’m personally not big on MLM programs. Having to recruit an army of distributors to make a few bucks off of each one every month, if you’re lucky, is not my thing. I do think it’s a cool idea to be “selling” money. Certainly more appealing and unique than the nutritional and vitamin products that flood our industry. Numis may create some new coin collectors, which will benefit the company. Time will tell how many people actually make decent money from the program. I suspect it will be like any other MLM. There will be those who climb to the top and make a killing and the masses won’t recruit anyone and just become coin collectors until they move on to something else!
So…my bottom line is if I was looking to join an MLM, I would be more apt to join Numis than I would a Juice or Vitamin product company…more for the uniqueness of the product than really anything else. I guess it just didn’t excite me the way it excited others.
Of course, success or failure will for everyone will come down to their network marketing prospecting skills. If you can bring people into your business, you will prosper.

Who Is Lloyd Wilson…The Founder of Pyxism…
Who is Lloyd Wilson? The most likely reason that you want to know is that you are investigating the Pyxism home-based business opportunity and want to know who the man behind the business is. It is extremely important to get to know the ownership of any online business opportunity prior to joining. Ownership can make or break any business, no matter how great the products and compensation plan.
Any owner should have experience, preferably in network marketing both as a distributor and as a program owner. They should have a vision for the company that goes beyond trying to make a quick buck. And, they should show the associates of the company complete transparency without hype. Lloyd Wilson has all of these qualities.
Here’s a bio of Lloyd Wilson that you can find on the Pyxism Site:
Lloyd Wilson grew up as an outstanding athlete in Southern California. As a record breaking, star left-handed pitcher, he had an opportunity to begin a professional career in baseball with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates organizations right out of high school. Instead, Lloyd accepted a full athletic scholarship to pitch for Oregon University where he majored in business. In his sophomore year, he experienced a career-ending arm injury and after surgery, Lloyd went on to complete his four years of business studies.
Lloyd’s 35-year business achievements started with four years as the youngest branch manager of the third-largest branch of a major California bank. Lloyd then went on to enjoy 18 years of sales and sales management success in the deregulated telecommunications industry. Ready to be his own boss, Lloyd founded a company that was one of the first specialized Value Added Resellers for the latest generation technology manufacturer in the emerging voicemail industry. Major southern California clients included the Irvine Company and Southern California Edison along with a selection of national Fortune 500 companies such as 3M. But with new opportunities calling, Lloyd sold his company to the manufacturer and later entered network marketing in 1997.
With his success track record, it wasn’t long before Lloyd also rose to the top in his new industry. Lloyd and a business partner became the # 4 recruiting distributors in a network marketing health sciences company in a short 18 months. Lloyd was then recruited away by an Orange County e-Commerce network marketing company, where he received stock and stock options and became a successful distributor for them. All totaled he served nearly 8 years with various network marketing ventures before he co-founded his own.
In the fall of 2005, Lloyd through a mutual networking friend was introduced to fellow entrepreneurial minded individual who was interested in starting an internet-based venture. After a few months of consultation, Lloyd proposed the idea of starting a travel company, and in November 2005, they launched a Travel based Network Marketing company. After fours years as co-founder and minority owner, Lloyd resigned in August 2009 to form a company that would fully realize his vision of a members-focused network marketing organization: PYXISM, Inc.

Lloyd’s formal education, along with his experience in finance and banking, sales, sales management, business ownership and network marketing have served their company and its distributors well. Lloyd has a keen understanding of building sales organizations and compensation plans with an emphasis on rewarding the team-building behavior that creates the foundation for long-term stability for distributors and thus for the company.
In addition to Lloyd’s formal education and vast experience, lessons learned on the athletic field have played a huge role in molding Lloyd’s business philosophies today in particular two key messages:
* Never quit or give up…your next effort may be the one that turns failure into victory.
* A Teammates’ ability to count on each other and contribute to each other’s success is the true meaning of “teamwork”. True Teamwork can elevate everyone’s performance capabilities and is a key to short and long-term success.
Generate Laser Targeted Network Marketing Leads for Your TVI Express Business
TVI Express is a very popular discount travel home based business. According to TVI, there are over 400,000 members and growing and the business opportunity has already created over 60 millionaires in India alone. The compensation plan for TVI is a company forced 2×3 matrix. This type of compensation plan has been around in network marketing for years and is extremely popular today.
The top board, when you cycle, pays a whopping $10,000! There are a few issues that I have heard about TVI, from friends of mine who are in it. One is that the boards split and your team can become fragmented. This causes teams to really not work very closely together so you are basically on your own. Another is the fact that nobody seems to know who the owners are. The company is based overseas in Asia, and there is a cloak of secrecy surrounding the company. I have also heard that it’s not very easy to redeem your travel vouchers. These issues are heresay as I am not a member of TVI Express.
What I want to write about today is how you can generate up to 100 leads per day of Laser Targeted Network Marketing leads to your TVI Express business. This model can really be used for any network marketing business that you are in and should serve as a blueprint for building your business online.
The 5 Basics to Online Marketing are…
- Lead Generation
- Auto Responder
- Multiple Offers
- Personal Branding
- Sales Funnel
Lead Generation…can be done through a variety of online marketing strategies. Some include Social Networks, List Builders, Video Marketing, E-mail Marketing, Classified Ads, SEO, Pay Per Click and many more. There are endless ways you can promote you and your business online. You really need a full understanding of these methods. I see many people online everyday who think they know what they are doing but are actually hurting their chances of sponsoring new reps.
The Auto-Responder…is your sales robot that works for you 24 hours a day and seven days a week. The purpose of the auto-responder is to keep your prospects informed and keep you fresh in their mind. I sponsor many reps months after they found me and months after they started on my auto-responder list. This tool is essential to your success.
Multiple Offers…is a way for you to create additional income through your online marketing efforts. There are always great affiliate programs you can promote to your prospects and your team. One advantage of multiple offers is you put immediate money in your account even if the prospect doesn’t join your TVI Express business. It’s crucial that these products are high quality and value…you don’t want to promote junk (and we know there’s a lot of that out there!).
Personal Branding…is a very powerful network marketing strategy and really a must if you plan to make it big in this industry. People are looking for leaders to follow…not companies or products. If you want to attract quality people you must put self branding in place. There is an easy way to do this even for a beginner and the secret lies in the way you present yourself online.
The Sales Funnel…this is basically a web page designed to drive leads directly through a series of events that ultimately ends in the presentation of your TVI Express business. There is a right way to do this and a wrong way. I will tell you that if you are promoting a company replicated TVI Express website then you are doing it wrong. It takes a blend of meeting the market demand with the right offer combined with the tools and knowledge to guarantee their success.
If You Do Not Have A System Like This In Place for Your TVI Express Business…and You Are Not Generating AT LEAST 15 Leads Per Day…Then Take A Look At The System That I Personally Use To Drive Laser Targeted Network Marketing Leads To My Business Every Day:
Generate Network Marketing Leads for Your Jusuru Business
Jusuru is a terrific new network marketing home based business offering Life Blend, a cutting-edge liquid nutraceutical that promotes healthy aging, active joints, and younger looking skin. Jusuru Life Blend contains multi-patented BioCell Collagen II®, rich in a matrix of joint and skin supporting hyaluronic acid, collagen, and chondroitin sulfate, in combination with exotic antioxidant-rich fruits from around the globe.
Jusuru offers a very lucrative compensation plan, similar to many other MLM companies in the health product niche. This is an extremely competitive network marketing niche and requires that an affiliate recruit a sizeable downline in order to earn a substantial residual income. You must have a continuous flow of targeted network marketing leads visiting your site on a daily basis. That being said, if you just follow these simple steps, you won’t be struggling to grow your Jusuru business any longer.
1. Market Yourself
It is imperative that you make yourself stand out from your competition. There are a lot of reps selling the Jusuru business opportunity…why would someone join YOU? What do you offer that others do not? You need to bring value to your team. Most network marketers require some assistance with their marketing efforts. Are you somebody who can help them?
Attraction Marketing is a major strategy for marketing online that most do not implement…or even know about for that matter. Check out any of Mike Dillard’s products, particularly Magnetic Sponsoring, to learn more about Attraction Marketing.
2. Consistency
When marketing online, it is extremely important to remain consistent in your daily tasks. All of the successful marketers complete the same marketing activities every day. Your specific strategy really is not as important as making sure that you are consistent with your chosen marketing strategy. The sales will be generated by your marketing efforts, not the other way around. Working your business daily will separate you from a majority of your competition.
3. Build Your List and Follow-Up
It has been said that a prospect needs to see your offer or business opportunity 7 times before they buy. This is an average but gives you an idea of the kind of numbers game we play in our network marketing businesses. You must build your list. You must capture your prospects information — typically Name, Email, and Phone — and you must follow-up with them consistently (there’s that word again!). Having an autoresponder with a series of follow-up emails is an absolute must.
4. Do Not Pitch Your Business
Say Whaaaat? It’s true! The Top Network Marketers in our industry do not pitch their primary business…they sell through what is called a “Funded Proposal”. A “Funded Proposal” is a strategically set-up system which offers multiple streams of income to the network marketer. That way, you will still make money if someone does not decide to join your primary business, Jusuru. But they might over time, which is why you expose your prospects to you and your primary business through consistent email follow-up. This way, you can build a relationship…and then trust…and then a colleague in your business.
This is Simply the BEST Marketing Training and Funded Proposal System on the Planet to Help You Massively Grow Your Jusuru or Any MLM Business Very Quickly:
Pyxism Compensation Review
In this post I want to review the extraordinary compensation plan offered by Pyxism, one of the hottest new programs to hit network marketing in a long time.
Pyxism is a new network marketing program in the discount travel niche. Pyxism’s product will be the “best of the best” certificate based vacations, offering members cruises and 4-5 star resort vacations for pennies on the dollar. That’s great and all but…
Why should you Join Pyxism and What’s the Compensation Plan?
Pyxism’s compensation model is a True Follow-Me 2×3 Matrix. With a True Follow-Me matrix, your team never splits and will always remain in tact. Those of you in TVI or Dream Style Vacation Club now understand the power of Pyxism’s compensation plan! It is of utmost importance to encourage teamwork in Network Marketing and Pyxism has nailed it. In addition to encouraging teamwork, it takes 50% less members to cycle the first board (Compass Board) and 500% – 700% less members to cycle the big board (Horizon Board) than their competition!
The boards consist of 15 positions. The positions fill from top to bottom rather than bottom to top — another key point. A member is required to refer 2 paying members to Pyxism one-time to qualify to cycle. Then, as with any network marketing business opportunity, duplication of your team is paramount. Everyone must bring in 2 people.
Here is a Pyxism Compensation Review summary: How Do You Make Money With Pyxism?
When you join for the one-time fee of $325, you receive a vacation voucher valued at $300. After completion of the Compass Matrix and sponsoring your 2 members:
* Automatic Re-Entry into Compass Matrix following your sponsor
* Additional $300 Value Vacation Voucher each time you re-enter the Compass Matrix
* $1250 Cash on your 2nd and all subsequent cycles of your Compass Matrix
* $1000 Vacation Voucher for completing the Compass Matrix and Entry to the Horizon Matrix
* $8000 Each time you cycle your Horizon Matrix
* Automatic Re-entry into the Horizon Matrix
* $1000 Vacation Voucher for each time you re-enter the Horizon Matrix
* Your Sponsor receives $1000 each time you cycle the Horizon Matrix
* Your Sponsor’s Sponsor receives $1000 each time you cycle the Horizon Matrix
This compensation plan, together with phenomenal products, makes Pyxism a winner. There will be many 6 and 7 figure Pyxism earners in 2010. Will you be one of them? To learn more about Pyxism and about me, please visit my personal blog WhoIsSteveHawk.Com.

UPDATE: Pyxism has changed their compensation plan since the writing of this review. For a more current and accurate review, CLICK HERE
The new “hotshot” on the network marketing scene is Pyxism. While the company is virtually hype-free, the industry is creating a ton of hype surrounding the pending launch on January 11, 2010. You are probably trying to decide if you should join or not if you are reading this article. I hope that this honest Pyxism Review will provide you with the information necessary to make your decision.
First, I want to say that I am a paid member of Pyxism to get that out of the way! My Dominate Pyxism team is already growing rapidly and I want anyone who joins me to completely understand the “Pyxism Business Opportunity” to make sure it’s a business opportunity you want to be involved with and feel you can be successful at. It’s important to do your due diligence before joining any opportunity, and this is no different. There just happens to be less information because the company is in pre-launch so I hope I can shed some light.
What is Pyxism?
Pyxism is a 2×3 matrix board program in the discount travel niche. The travel industry is a $7 billion industry so we know that the industry is a strong one. And, with our current economy, the discount travel sector is very strong. There are a few other popular programs that appear to be similar to Pyxism such as TVI Express, Dream Style Vacation Club and Juugo to name a few. While each offers slightly different products, the compensation plan is what sets Pyxism apart from the competition. It is much easier to cycle in Pyxism with their revolutionary True Follow-Me Matrix.
In the True Follow-Me Matrix, teams never split. This encourages a solid teamwork foundation that will last forever. This is not the case with the other programs, which leave the members basically on their own. We know that not everyone is able to recruit a massive team for themselves and that’s OK. We will work with you every step of the way to ensure your success because that ensures our success. Sponsors as well as their sponsors have a monetary incentive to ensure that everyone on their team cycles. This sets Pyxism apart from their competition and was one of the main selling points for me.
Another important aspect of Pyxism’s True Follow-Me Matrix is that it only takes 14 people to cycle the Compass Board (first board) versus either 28 or 31 people in the competitions boards. Do the math! This will produce much faster cycling.
Then, to cycle the Horizon Board (Pyxism’s Big Board), it only takes 128 people versus an average of 934 to cycle their competitors big money boards. This is something that most people do not consider before joining a program and is really the most important aspect of the compensation plan.
What is Pyxism’s Compensation Plan?
When you join for the one-time fee of $299 (plus a $50 annual associate fee), you receive a vacation voucher valued at $299. After completion of the Compass Matrix and sponsoring your 2 members:
- Entry into Upper Level Horizon Matrix
- Automatic Re-Entry into Compass Matrix following your sponsor
- Additional $300 Value Vacation Voucher each time you re-enter the Compass Matrix
- $1250 Cash on your 2nd and all subsequent cycles of your Compass Matrix
- $1000 Vacation Voucher for completing the Compass Matrix and Entry to the Horizon Matrix
- $8000 Each time you cycle your Horizon matrix
- Automatic Re-entry into the Horizon Matrix
- $1000 Vacation Voucher for each time you re-enter the Horizon Matrix
- Your Sponsor receives $1000 each time you cycle the Horizon Matrix
- Your Sponsor’s Sponsor receives $1000 each time you cycle the Horizon Matrix
Summary
I highly encourage anyone considering the Pyxism business opportunity to sign-up for free HERE, take the tour and then attend one of the live webinars with the founder and owner, Lloyd Wilson. This way you can get a complete understanding of and feel for the company, their vision, the owner, and if Pyxism is for you. You will even be able to ask Lloyd questions to make sure that there is no doubt left.
It is my feeling that Pyxism is the best opportunity to come onto the network marketing scene in a very long time. It’s not just the compensation plan but the vision and transparency of the owner and just an overall positive feeling. Being able to join at the gound floor level (any network marketers dream!) is a major selling point. I truly believe that Pyxism is going to create a lot of millionaires.

What is Pyxism and Should I Join?
If you are already investigating the Pyxism business opportunity, you are one of the lucky ones who have been given an early heads up on this terrific home based business opportunity.
Pyxism is a new discount travel based company on the scene. It’s still in pre-launch with the the official launch scheduled for January 11, 2010. How would you have liked to have been in on TVI on the ground floor? You would have made a killing! In my opinion, that’s exactly where we are with Pyxism. It is similar to TVI and Dream Style Vacation Club in that the compensation plan is based on a 2×3 matrix with 2 boards. You cycle the first board to qualify yourself (with only 2 direct referrals which qualifies you for life) and then you get paid $1250 every time you cycle the Compass Board (the first board) thereafter and you are automatically qualified to cycle the Horizon Board for $8000 each cycle.
What separates Pyxism from the others is the fact that it’s a True Follow-Me Matrix. You always follow your sponsor and your team always stays together. This encourages teamwork, which is very important in this type of compensation structure. In addition, many less members are required to cycle, so the cycling will be faster and make everyone who works at it a lot more money that a Forced Matrix. Another neat part of the comp plan to is the fact that each time your direct referral cycles the Horizon Board, you receive $1000 and your sponsor receives $1000! This assures that nobody will get left behind or forgotten about!
In addition to the innovative commission structure, you will also receive travel certificates to top resorts throughout the world which you can use to vacation for pennies on the dollar. We have been assured that this is different from other vacation certificate programs, with no black-out dates and truly 4 and 5 star resorts.
Those of you who know me know that I like to join businesses early to capitalize on the hype and make a quick buck. This is also true of Pyxism but not entirely. After attending the webinar and listening to the vision of Lloyd Wilson (the owner) for the business, I am convinced that this business is different. He’s not just looking to make a quick killing, but rather has a long-term vision that really spoke to me. He has a tremendous amount of business experience (unlike many program owners online) and has been in the network marketing business for over 12 years. He has been part-owner in a travel based business since 2005, which he recently resigned from but is still a viable business today. He’s not a program hopper, like many other owners.
Normally, to join a business that you plan to make your primary business and income earner, you would want to see a track record of at least 2 years. To make sure that the business is sustainable and isn’t going to shut-down after you’ve put in all of your hard work to build your business. This is definitely true but I think Lloyd’s track record is enough to go on in this case. I highly encourage you to at least sign up for FREE and register for a webinar here: Register for Pyxism Webinar.
Soon…like all business opportunity launches, the hype-train will begin and it will become difficult for you to decide which Pyxism team to join that can really help you succeed and which marketer is just good at blowing smoke. If you’ve been in network marketing for any amount of time at all…you know what I mean! I’ve been successful in the network marketing “game” for some time and use a proven marketing system to market any business that I’m in. If you don’t know how to market effectively, you will get swallowed up by your competition. Period.
I encourage you to take a look at the system I’m using to promote Pyxism and my other businesses. Just fill in your information on the side of my blog to receive the exact step-by-step blueprint that I use to generate tons of leads and sign-ups into my business, as well as make additional affiliate commissions, on a monthly basis.
Your Partner in Success,
Steve
