The Profile is your public persona and homepage of your website on the Hub. Others on the Hub will only see items/widgets you place on your Profile based on the permissions level you set. You will be able to add additional menu and other items you may want Hub users to access from your Profile.

The NMEX Portal utilizes constantly updated, comprehensive, state of the art, community media internet architecture, providing a fully interactive, intergrated and collaborative system for online showcasing, marketing, teaching and learning. It is structured to allow registrants to have a personal website and platform controlled from their Profile Module which serves as the home page of your Personal or Business Website on NMEX. The web address of your website (Profile Page) will be www.nationalmex.com/'YourUserName'. The Pages section allows you to build additional pages to supplement your Profile Page providing full website building features and operations.

A most important feature of your NMEX Profile and Presence is your ability to Search Engine Optimize (SEO) your content within your site. This is what makes a NMEX based site significantly different from most other sites and particularly the Social Media sites you may have on the Internet. SEO is the most important factor in successful Internet Marketing because it is a passive way of bringing traffic to your site and content. the structure and design of the NMEX platform and your NMEX site allows for sophisticated SEO techniques and strategies to be employed, allowing you to independently market and successfully attract Internet traffic to your site and content. Remember to review the materials on SEO contained in the Internet Marketing Center and elsewhere on NMEX.

Also, since NMEX is a business development platform, an important element in "Monetizing" and marketing your NMEX site and presence is developing ways to utilize it in conjunction with the various NMEX special monetization programs such as the Content Affiliate Marketing (CAM), Product Affiliate Marketing (PAM), FotoOpps, Nupits, and other such monetization programs which NMEX may develop. Remember to review the support materials on these various programs to see more about monetizing and marketing your NMEX site and presence.

Dashboard

The Dashboard is your personal control panel hidden from other users, and allowing quick easy access to your areas of interest when using NMEX. Using the Dashboard you will be able to access additonal menu type items and functions on the Hub.  NMEX is an Internet Hub containing a tremendous amount of information and dynamically generated websites. Therefore it is most important to setup your Dashboard in order to effectively utilize the massive amount of information and functions available. Please setup your Profile and Dashboard as soon as you can to facilitate your working in NMEX.

Centers/Groups

Based on permissions levels, registered entities may establish and participate in any number of Groups/Centers and Sub-Groups which contain similar types of information as the personal web platform. Groups/Centers are extremely powerful tools which allow independent groupings of users and functions, which can be limited by special permissions to only a select group of Users. Each Group/Center can function essentially as an independent unit or Hub for whatever purpose the Group owner(s)/administrator(s) or members desire.

The Personal Platform and each Group/Center within the personal platform contain various functions and sections including Pages, Blogs, Files, Bookmarks, an Event Planner & Calender, Photo Albums, Videos, Audio Player, Message Board, Polls and more. Access to these Personal or Group Platform sections and functions can be controlled fully by the Registrant and/or Group owner.

Specialized Business & Entrepreneural Functions

In addition to Groups/Centers and the Personal Profile Platform, Users can access important business related functions tied to these platforms, The Classified Markets, CrowdFunding & CrowdPartnering, The Auction, Contract/Jobs, Vouchers, The Event Manager and more. The Market and Auction Modules allow Users to promote and/or sell any type of business related product or service except securities. The Contract/Jobs module allows Users to post Contract and Jobs on the NMEX portal. The Vouchers Module is a powerful tool that business and entrepreneurs can use to provide discounts and special offers to their clientele. The Event Manager allows sophisticated event management and promotions for any type of conference, meeting, media production or other scheduled activity including online programing.

Pinboards

Users can also establish Pinboards. A Pinboard is a taggable, searchable entity that other content from within the site (including other pinboards) can be pinned to.  This allows users to create collections of related content, themes, portfolios, or any other creative collection. Similar to groups, Pinboards can have an avatar and description, and similar to pages they can have multiple people with write access - people who can pin content and edit the pinboard, based on group or friends access collections.

The real power of pinboards is in the display - everything is widgetized for maximum flexibility.  A number of widget layouts are provided.  Widgets used within a pinboard have a standard option to hide the widget style, so that it looks like a static part of the page.  This can be particularly useful with the free html widget. Throughout the site any entity that has a menu (where you have the 'like' link) will have a 'pin' link.  Clicking this link will pop up a modal window with a short list of sets that the entity can be pinned to, as well as a search box.  Pinning the entity is as simple as clicking on the pinboard it belongs to.

Pinboards can be used to establish special marketplaces which group products, services and ideas into one central display for showcasing and marketing purposes.

Other Special Display and Showcasing Widgets

NMEX also includes a number of other Widgets that can be utilized to specially group and display material, products, services and ideas in either the User Profile, Dashboard or in Center/Groups. These widgets include the Free HTML, Group Featured Content, Random Content, Our Sponsors, and the Community Favorites Widgets. These Widgets can all be easily configured by Registered Users to complement their marketing presence and activity on NMEX.

Other Grouping functions available on NMEX are Centers/Groups, Related Groups, Sub-Groups, and Sub-Pages.

Center/Group Brainstorms

An important an powerful feature of NMEX Centers/Groups is the Group Brainstorm. The Brainstorming section of each Center/Group allows members to submit any business ideas, proposals, or elements of their business plans related to the focus of the Center, for analytical evaluation, brainstorming, and comments.

The ideas and proposals will be exposed to experts and interested parties who have experience and special interests in the substantive areas of focus of this Center, and will therein have the opportunity to be professionally vetted as to its potential for success in the targeted markets.

Members of the Center/Group will have the opportunity to respond by commenting and voting on the substantive quality of the idea or proposal. Ideas which receive high marks will be archived for inclusion, review and reference on the NMEX Portal.

Ideas and Proposals submitted for the Brainstorming process are deemed to be in the Public Domain unless otherwise protected by the Submitter.

The Center/Group Owner or NMEX can set the rules for the Brainstorming process and decide the number of points members will have available to vote on Group Brainstorms. A member can only vote once on any Brainstorm. Once a member exhausts his/her point balance they will not be allowed to vote again until some of their point balance is restored by the Group Owner or NMEX declaring a Brainstorm they voted on as Completed or Declined.

Any member of a Group can submit an Idea or Proposal for Brainstorming and can edit it if needed. Once an Idea or Proposal is submitted, the Group Owner or NMEX can leave it open as originally submitted, or change its Status by putting it Under Review, or Requesting that the Submitter Redefine it. After Review or Redefining the Group Owner or NMEX can Resubmit the Idea or Proposal for Brainstorming.

Networking & Marketing Tools

NMEX allows Registered Entities to utilize powerful networking features to assist in marketing and promoting your product, service or idea. Features accessed from your personal Dashboard such as Suggested Friends/Affiliates, Friend/Affiliate Collections, and the Importing of contact information from your email lists and databases, are some of the powerful networking tools available for free on the NMEX Portal.

The Press Release Tool & NMEX Global News Feed

An important element of marketing your products, services, and ideas is your ability to get genuine and effective News coverage. NMEX Global News Feed (NGNF) is designed to provide important News feeds about Newsworthy activities of NMEX, its Affiliates, Registered Entities, and Subscribers. In order to get your Newsworthy activities selected, covered and distributed by NGNF you will have to use the Press Release Tool in the NMEX Platform to post a press release about the item(s). NGNF regularly reviews these press releases to decide what to distribute globally to its affiliated News Outlets. This is a powerful tool provided by NMEX to assist businesses in getting exposure within the global marketplace.

NMEX UserPoints (Nupits)

An extremely powerful feature of NMEX is the opportunity for Registered Entities to utilize NMEX UserPoints (Nupits) to buy, sell, barter, trade, discount, and negotiate various types of transactions on NMEX. Based on a special algorithm, Registered NMEX Users freely accumulate Nupits automatically when they use the various functions in the NMEX Portal for any productive activity.

Registered Entities who purchase products through NMEX can also use the special UserPoint Application tool to apply for additional User Points which may be available for the particular purchase.

Users may also apply for approval of additional User Points based on their activity which has not automatically been awarded points by applying at: http://nationalmex.com/userpoints_balance/userpoints_balance.

Two important NMEX facilities which can automatically utilize the Nupit System are the NMEX Voucher System and the Nupit Gift Registry. Both the Voucher and Gifting system can use the Nupit system to provide NMEX Registered Entities with significant benefits purchased with freely accumulated NMEX Userpoints. Registered Users can essentially purchase various types of Vouchers and Gifts, in addition to using Nupits to negotiate other types of transactions like special Marketing, and other NMEX Business Client Services.

Gifts are provided by the National Market Exchange Corp for the benefit of NMEX Portal Users who have acquired NMEX Userpoints. Currently available Gifts can be viewed by visiting any User's Profile, or the Nupit Gift Registry on the More Menu, and clicking on the Send Gift button and then Choose a Gift.

The various types of Vouchers can be programed and provided by any registered NMEX User to sell and promote their products and services through the NMEX platform and marketing processes.

General Site Wide Functions

In addition to the functions tied to the Personal and Group platforms, there are site wide functions such as The Wire, Chat Room, the Market Place and more.
