Recently McKay Earl released some excellent fast action bonuses for people that purchase his 90 Day Market course (even without bonuses I reckon it is amazing value). For those people that don’t know where to start with marketing The Renegade Network Marketer this may be just the boost you were looking for…
I was having an interesting chat with McKay Earl yesterday, we were chatting about how Google has made it much tougher for people to advertise unless they have a highly relevant website related to their offer. McKay said something interesting;
The quick and easy road is always one you have to be willing to move with times.
Speaking of the times, there is a lot of doom and gloom around the global economy at the moment but I have noticed some of the more seasoned mlmers I have spoken with are quite upbeat about the whole situation. They feel that more and more people will be turning to a home-based business as a solution as things get worse.
I was chatting with a gentleman just the other day that was looking for a business because the security of his share portfolio just went out the window. He told me that was the only reason he was looking into other solutions.
So there are two things going on here;
1. Google is making it tougher to advertise
2. More people will be looking for answer to their financial woes
Ken Evoy has been predicting that the people that spend the time and effort to build relevant websites in their niche will be the ‘Diamonds of the Future’. I was chatting with McKay about SBI and he likes Ken’s service, but for beginners feels it’s a bit too much too soon however, once they have a foundation - he thinks it’s fantastic! I’d have to say I agree with that.
It seems though that at the end of the day, if we want to generate leads and lots of them for our business there is no easy road. It’s just a matter of consistent focused work and while people are chasing the ever moving road to riches those that are quietly working in the background are cashing in on a method that is more sustainable. Ken Evoy calls it The way of the Tortoise.
McKay also mentioned that he is indeed going to be switching his 90 Day Marketer Course over to a membership platform. He said he still hasn’t decided on how much it will be but my guess is at least $40 per month.
The last time I looked there were still some “get a website and blog built for you bonuses”. Anyone that purchases McKay’s course now will have access to the information for life…even after it has become a membership site. With over 50 excellent video tutorials and more than 50 scheduled to come, I’d say this is probably the best value I’ve seen as far as Internet marketing training for Renegade Network Marketers.
If you are really keen on using the Internet to build your home-business than McKay’s 90 Day Marketer Course will be a fantastic resource.
How The 90 Day Marketer Integrates With The Renegade Network Marketer
The ability to enter all you affiliate links into your 90 Day Marketer sites makes it very duplicatable, it’s something you can introduce to your whole team.
Here’s a snippet from McKay’s sales letter:
In fact when I officially launched my 90-Day Marketer course in May of 2008 I only had 8 distributors in my network marketing team, all of which I personally sold. In the next 5 months I went from 8 distributors to 102 distributors and I only personally sold 32 of them. Almost 2/3rds of my fast growth was due to my team duplicating my efforts. Let me repeat that –
DUPLICATION WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING!
I was blown away!
One of the biggest failures in network marketing is caused by the blind leading the blind. . .
But that wasn’t happening in my team
You see, not one of them were experts at first, but they didn’t have to be in order to successfully lead their downline to success. All they had to do was become familiar enough with the course material in order to guide and help their new downline members find the video or training resources they needed. This can apply to you and your team too!
I’m going to let you in on a big secret – You don’t need to be an expert to get started or to make the Renegade System work.
So there is probably no better time to get into focused action and start building your business the slow and steady way.
Here is a very interesting YouTube video by Brad Fallen (Stompernet). There seems to be a trend that many of the big Internet Marketers are now following and that is giving away more great products than ever.
Frank Kern for example recently did a launch for his continuity ‘Reciprocity Monthly Newsletter’. The information that Frank gave away with this launch was absolutely phenomenal. The guys over at Stompernet recently did a big launch and what they gave away was just plan silly…I have never seen so much great free content given away.
This video explains the thinking behind this process, quite interesting.
Now these guys are in a totally different league to most but still the principle of giving before getting should be applied in our online businesses. In the arena of The Renegade Network Marketer, I for example give away an ebook, an online course (including PDF action guides and camtasia videos) and access to monthly training webinars. You can access my free Renegade Network Marketer Give Aways by Clicking Here…
It seems that the more you give, the more you get and so I encourage you to think of ways in which you can give value to your customers and prospective customers, it will do wonders for your business.
The Renegade Network Marketer has been revised by Ann Sieg and an extra chapter has been added. This expands the Ebook into a 142 page document. If you have already purchased The Renegade Network Marketer, you can log in through The Renegade System and go ‘Tools and Resources’ and download the new revised edition.
Here is a summary of the new chapter that Ann Sieg has added to the Renegade Network marketer Ebook.Chapter 8, “Your Most Valuable Asset”
You no doubt have heard it before but just in case you haven’t… your most valuable asset is your mailing list.
So what is so important about a mailing list?
How about $45, 493 profit in 2 days, or what about a loss of $350, 000 as a result of not building a list to its full potential? There are other reason that I will go into but lets examine these figures for a moment.
This is only speculation, but I would say that these are the figures from the first two days of The Renegade Network Marketer launch. Ann Sieg had a mailing list of 12 000 people. The product was and still is, $67 and so that meant that from Ann’s mailing list, 697 people made the choice to purchase in the first 2 days (and many more after I am sure).
This means that the conversion rate was 5.8%. This is guess work on my part, but I do remember that for the first 24 hours of the launch, The Renegade Network Marketer sold at half price. How many people do you think purchased on that first day? If 50% did, that would take the conversion rate up to nearly 8%. That is very, very good.
Do you know that if a direct marketer gets a 1% response rate they are happy? This is often enough for them to break even of the front end which they are happy with as they know that there is a lot more money in the back end or add on sales. So if it cost them $100 to send 1000 letters, and each sale made a net profit of $10, they would be happy with a 1% response rate. Obviously these marketers are dealing with far greater numbers but they usually start small and once they feel sure the conversion rate is enough to break even, they roll out the campaign in multiples of 10…thousand that is.
Marketing is a science and once the figures are there, these guys will roll out scary numbers and get it working within a very narrow margin, even within points of a percent. Once they are sure of the numbers, they are happy to spend $50 000 dollars on a letter drop. Now that is confidence in your figures!
Russell Brunson interviewed the offline marketing genius, Vince James and questioned him for 6 hours about how he made 100 million plus in one year selling nutritional products. You can learn a lot from Vince about marketing on and offline. At one point in the interview he says;
“Internet marketers have egos as big as the Mississippi, who cares if you make a $1000 000 in one day off a product launch, what ever…”
So when Ann Sieg is talking figures here, it is not to show off or anything like that (I know Ann and she isn’t like that at all), it is just to illustrate a point.
The point of this is that when you have a mailing list, it is not costing you anything to roll out a promotion and if you have treated your list with respect and have a good relationship with them, the chances of you getting a very high conversion rate is high. If you are not building your mailing list in all of your marketing, you are leaving money on the table. In Ann Sieg’s case quite a lot of money…
How Ann Sieg Lost $350 000
So what is the figure of $350 000 all about?
Ann Sieg underestimated the importance of “the mailing list”. It was a very costly lesson…$350 000 to be exact. Ann Sieg is very particular about numbers and stats (as most marketers are). It is very possible for Ann to review all of her traffic stats and make an accurate estimation of how many people she could have had in her opt-in list if she was using the strategies she is currently using today. How is this possible?
Well, she would be able to tell you how many people hit her site today and give you the percentage of people that joined her mailing list. Looking back she could also see how many people hit her sight last year and how many people opted-in to her list.
On Ann’s calculations, instead of 12, 000 people on her list, she should have had over 90,000. That is over 7 times what she had. Remember that magic 2 days where she pulled $45, 493 from her list at a conversion rate of over 8%? Well times that by 7 and you get $350, 000. This is not just guess work, marketers basically stake their financial lives on figures like this everyday.
As you can see, it was a rather costly lesson for Ann to learn and in true Ann Sieg style, she is willing to share what she has learned in order to save you the pain of having to go through the same process. Start building your list today! (On that note, don’t forget to subscribe to my RSS feed to get all my latest posts and training videos)
Now apart from the fact that you could blow $350,000 in 2 days, there are a couple of other reasons why it is important to build your own list, Ann Sieg goes into great detail in Chapter 8 but here is a summary:
1. You Become a Independent Business Owner as Opposed to a Sales Rep for you MLM Company
When you have your own list, you have the ability to sell products and services outside of your mlm company, not other opportunities but tools and services that will help your customers and downline. When you are an independent business owner, they are your customers, not your mlm companies customers! You did they marketing so they are YOUR customers, you get to choose what you will sell to them and your mlm company does NOT have the right to tell you any different. You are an independent marketing with the right to market what you want and how to your customers.
This is also a protection mechanism. If your company goes out of business or decides they are paying too much and want to get rid off you…no sweat, you have got your list of loyal customers. If you haven’t got this, your whole organization could be cut from under you before you know it. You may think it won’t happen to me, but there are plenty of horror stories out there if you go looking.
Having a list means that you are the center of your business, not your mlm company. This is a true independent business owner. Of course some companies don’t like this, but they will just have to get over it because as business owners, we are free to choose and promote what ever we like.
2.Joint Ventures
Once you have a sizable list, other business owners will want to do joint ventures with you. This means that you will increase your credibility in the marketing world, your list will then start to grow exponentially and all sorts of doors will open.
Look at Ann Sieg for example; Ken Evoy from Site Build It noticed what she was doing because of all of the sales she was generating for Site Build It through the Renegade System backend and now they are doing a joint venture together. Ken Evoy has massive credibility in the Internet marketing world and now they are working together to leverage off each other. If you don’t have a list, these sorts of doors are not open to you.
Well known Internet marketer Rich Schefren recently released a free report, The Attention Age Doctrine V2. In this report, he goes into great depth about this concept, he calls it piggybacking. The only way that you can get the attention of someone that is well known in the market place is to have a large customer mailing list. Once you have that, you can leverage your position in many, many ways.
A word or warning, never send junk to your list or introduce them to people without a high level of professional integrity. I have stopped reading peoples email after they have sent me a bad offer. You may get away with it once or twice but 3 strikes and you may have to start all over again.
Most marketers will tell you that if they were striped of everything and they were only left with their mailing list, they would be back in business in a matter of days. So if your mlm company goes out of business or changes it’s policy, how soon could you be back in business?
Building a list is not as hard as it sounds, you will need an autoresponder and squeeze pages. I previously used Aweber for an autoresponder and Mathew Glanfields YourSqueezePage to create my landing pages. Each of these products are $19.95 each which is not too bad as you can have a functional internet marketing business with these too resources. I have recently changed to Oprius to do both of these jobs. It only costs me $14.95 and so I can have all of my work in one place and at the same time save $24.95 per month, not bad. You can Trial Oprius for 30 Days at no cost by going here…
In summary, the extra chapter in The Renegade Network Marketer provides some insights into taking control of your business as a network marketer. You will find that chapter 10 has also been updated. There is a marketing tip in there that will help you make a lot more money in your marketing. It is something that I will be implementing in my marketing straight away.
So what are you waiting for, log in to The Renegade System and download your new revised version of The Renegade Network Marketer. If you have not yet to purchased Ann Sieg’s ebook, you can read more about it by clicking here…
Most people that read The Renegade Network Marketer get very excited about the ability to generate their own leads. This is exactly why The Renegade System was developed. I personally prefer to use The Renegade in reverse. I will explain why…
The Renegade Network Marketer is sometimes referred to as a funded proposal system. This is an interesting term and simply means that when someone purchases The Renegade ebook from you, they become your lead. The fact that they purchased the ebook from you, means that they are funding you to propose your business to them.
I think in theory this is a great idea and there is no doubt that this works. There is only one problem that I see with this and that is; the more people that are pushing these kinds of funded proposal systems, the more competition there is for advertising. This means it will become increasingly expensive to advertise and more difficult to get people to notice your ads.
There are a number of possibilities as far as the types of people you will attract with this kind of funded proposal system;
1. People already in an mlm company who are happy
2. People that are in an mlm company and are unhappy
3. People in no mlm company but are looking
People That Are Happy With Their MLM Company
There will be people that find your Renegade Marketer ads and marketing pieces that are happy with their company but are just looking for more information on how to become more effective in their business. Unless you are in a mlm company that is fairly universal and complimentary, it will be difficult to propose anything to them.
I for example, I am working with a greeting card and post card company that offers exceptional quality greeting cards for a 1/3 of the cost you pay in a supermarket. Most mlmers could make use of this service no matter what company they are working with as it fits into an overall balanced marketing strategy. There are a number of other companies that have this universal type quality.
For me, universal means that your product is going to help people be more effective in the marketing of their primary mlm business. Offline marketing is an excellent way to follow up with customers and prospective clients.
If you are going to promote a funded proposal system such as The Renegade Network Marketer, I would suggest having a complementary company that you can work in tandem with your primary company. This way you have something to propose to these people that are actually happy with their current company.
Ann Sieg is a advocate of multiple streams of income and this is an excellent example of this.
The other thing about the Renegade Network Marketer System is that even when you do attract prospects that are in this grouping, it is still possible to make commissions and have them seek your advice and get paid for it. Ann Sieg recently did an interview with successful Renegade Marketer Willy Lim and he talks about how this has been working for him. It is a very interesting interview, you can Listen To That Here…
People That Are Unhappy With Their MLM Company or MLM Experience
The next people are the unhappy campers. These people will be open to changing companies but they are going to be harder to work with because they are unhappy and most likely a little wary of network marketing. There is also the possibility that they were just looking to fix their current situation rather than get into a new situation.
These people would be less likely to join you in your ‘universal company’ because if they are unhappy, they are also probably unproductive. They possibly have restricted cash flow which is why they purchased the ebook in the first place.
If you can help these people make sense out of the whole Internet marketing venture and they get into positive cash flow, then latter on down the track, you will have a high chance of them joining you in one of your businesses (more likely your universal one).
This is an approach that is based on developing a long term relationship with people. I feel this is a very good approach but you will need to be prepared to help these people along the way. The more systematised the training you offer these people the better it will be for you. If you have something in place that these people can follow, it will mean that you are not continually duplicating your efforts.
I created an ebook that I offer to people to help them through the initial transition phase of becoming an Internet Marketer, “The Step by Step Guide to Becoming a Successful Renegade Network Marketer”. Most people can read this and follow my instructions very well. I don’t have to teach the same things over and over again. I can simply direct people to the appropriate resources.
It sets up a wonderful relationship as well. I genuinely want people to excel in their primary business and am helping them do this. They never feel like I am trying to pull them away from their business (because I am not) and yet we get to work together in a very productive way. It truly is a win/win situation.
The key is to invest in people first and truly want to help them succeed. Once they trust that this is your intention, they are happy to join your ‘universal business’. I often tell people to spend their marketing budget elsewhere and join with me when they have positive cash flow and a budget that allows it. At this point they really understand that I have their best interest at heart.
I have heard of salespeople being referred to as Farmers or Hunters.
I like to think of myself as a person who is the farmer type; a person that cultivates relationships over time. I guess their is no right or wrong. It is just a matter of what suits your personality.
Many people love the concepts that Ann Sieg teaches in The Renegade Network Marketer but don’t want to go to the trouble of creating their own systems to help the prospects that they attract through the Renegade system as it is too time consuming. As a result there have been a number of generic training programs that are designed to do this for you.
The one that is perhaps the best is McKay Earls 90 Marketer. This course is set up very much like the Renegade System but takes your prospects through a very methodical, step-by-step process of becoming a internet marketer using the concepts of The Renegade Network Marketer. It means that you are able to deal with a whole team of people and at any time someone gets stuck, you can refer back to what step they are up to and help them. I highly recommend The 90 Day Marketer.
Another great resource you can offer people is The Renegade University. This has a Free Membership area that is not only good for helping people become familiar with the basics of internet marketing and how they correspond to The Renegade Network Marketer but also is a good way to convert your 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing leads into Renegade sales. I wrote a post about that and also created a video showing how that works. You can read that post here…
People That Have No MLM Company
These are obviously the best kind of Renegade Marketer prospects to speak with. The competition for these prospects is very fierce and so these people will have opportunities coming at them from all angles. It is increasingly more difficult to stand out from the crowd. I am not saying that it can’t or shouldn’t be done, I just think there is a better and more natural way.
I think rather than marketing your mlm opportunity it would be better to market your product and attract retail customers and then later on convert them to business builders when they show interest in the business.
When I say marketing your product, what I really mean to say is marketing your solution to peoples problems. Look at it this way, if your product is effective for migraine headache, the person with a migraine headache is not going to be searching for your product, they are going to be searching for a migraine cure. If this is something you know a lot about, then you could build a website around this.
Here is a wonderful example of a website http://www.adhdawareness.com/ using this principle. This is a site that sells products but first and foremost it is selling solutions for ADHD. Take the time to read the intro, it is brilliant. If you had ADHD or even knew someone that was struggling with this condition, how would you feel when you read this? My bet is you would instantly sign up for more information and you would probably forward the site to people that you thought could benefit.
I have a website that is connected to Thank You Cards but you will not see any mention of mlm or my company on that site. It is the product that I am selling, not a mlm opportunity. This site is all about retail and wholesale sales of my product. You can see that site by going to http://YourThankYouCard.com
In the correspondence that you send to your customers, you can have a very subtle signature line such as www.HomeBusinessExpert.com or something like that. You could then have a very simple blog or website where you talk about what a difference having a home business has made in your life. You would have an opt-in form where the person can receive a free report and information about your methods of doing a home-based business. At this stage, the people are loyal and satisfied customers of yours; they feel they know and trust you. The chances of them opting in to your list are extremely high.
Your first email could be about how Ann Sieg has totally changed the way that you approach your home business and give a little story about that. You would then give them the link to the free report of Ann’s The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing and arrange a time to get together with them on the phone.
This is what I would call The Renegade Network Marketer In Reverse. The prospects that you are attracting using this approach are extremely well qualified, what we would call a hot prospect.
At the end of the day, what ever way you approach it, as long as you are getting paid to advertise and attract people into your business, you are in a good position.
One of the most important things you can ever do as an Internet or Network marketer is build a list of customers. There are some marketers that will write articles or do PPC advertising and send people straight to the merchants sales page or lead capture page. Talk about leave money on the table!
For some people this seems to work but I would much rather capture my own leads so that I can establish a connection with those people and maintain an on-going relationship. The only way to do this is to build your own list.
You want to be promoting yourself first and foremost.
When you direct someone to The Renegade System’s, ‘The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing‘ landing page, it is obviously coded to you and so any sales through that page will be credited to you. Additionally, you will also get the person’s details and they will then become your lead.
When they sign up for the 7 G’s free report, they get taken to a thank you page. They will see a video and hear Ann Sieg’s voice explaining how to get the report. This is really good but is it branding you or Ann Sieg?
At this point, the person has agreed to receive correspondence. They have agreed to receive it from who though? The Renegade System of course, not you.
In all fairness, there is a clause in the 80/20 marketing privacy policy that states that you are able to contact a prospect that has opted-in to receive The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing through your link, but how many people really read these clauses? Not many at all I would guess.
So now the person is getting email from Ann Sieg promoting The Renegade Network Marketer. These email of course contain your affiliate links.
These email are really well written and are designed to convert The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing prospects into Renegade Network Marketer ebook sales.
Again, the only problem I have with this is it is not promoting you but rather Ann Sieg.
If you send the prospect email on-top of the email they are already getting from The Renegade Network Marketer System, they are likely to get either confused or annoyed.
When it comes time to call a prospect that has purchased The Renegade Network Marketer Ebook through your link, you will have a much smoother conversation if they have come through your marketing process.
When a person has followed your recommendation from your website or article, and then received your follow-up email, they start to get the idea that you are the expert in this picture.
When they decide to act and purchase what you are offering, in this case, The Renegade Network Marketer Ebook, they will not be surprised to hear your voice on the phone when you call to offer them assistance.
If on the other hand, you sent someone directly to The Renegade opt-in page and that was the last they heard from you, the chances of them being surprised when you call for the first time are high.
This means that you have to overcome this in the initial moments of the call as opposed to a warm greeting because they feel that they already know you. The difference is night and day.
You need to have your own voice and your own style. You really do need to be promoting yourself first. I totally admire and respect Ann Sieg, but at the end of the day, I would prefer to build my own list and not hers.
Ann Sieg is the first person to agree with this. She has always taught people to take control of their own marketing. This means having your own list so that you can control what is sent out.
When you first get started, using The Renegade Network Marketer landing pages is great. You can be promoting within minutes if you like, but I would strongly recommend getting set up to build your own list as soon as possible.
These days I use a online service called Oprius to manage all of my leads and contacts. Apart from keep track of every lead and customer in your sales process, Oprius allows you to create landing pages and send email through their autoresponder. For under $15 per month it can’t be beaten in my opinion.
Here is a video showing you how to make a 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing landing page in under 5 minutes!
So as you can see, building your own landing pages is actually very easy indeed using the Oprius system. You can get a 30 Day Free Trial and see how you like it. If you want the coding for the landing page that was created in this video, just come back here and request it through the ‘Contact’ link.
As an associate with Ann Sieg, I was lucky enough to get a preview of The Renegade Network Marketer Ebook before it was released to the public.
I was rather annoyed when I finished reading Ann’s Ebook for the first time because I realized that Ann Sieg wasn’t going to just give everything to her associates. It didn’t take me long to get over my little shock and I decided to dig in and get to work.
Sure, being a part of Ann Sieg’s Renegade Team has its benefits, such as great marketing and sales training, but it was blatantly obvious that the people who rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into the work would benefit the most from The Renegade Network Marketer System.
It didn’t take me long to realize that having a presence on the Internet was going to be paramount. I started doing research about building websites. I don’t remember how I even stumbled across Ken Evoy’s Free ebook ‘The Affiliate Masters Course’, but I am sure glad that I did.
I was very excited reading that book because it mirrored everything that I had ever learned from Ann Sieg. I was literally blown away by the parallels between Ken Evoy’s and Ann Sieg’s teachings.
When I saw The Renegade System back end affiliate programs for the first time, I was thrilled to see Site Build It (SBI) there. This was a product I could whole heartedly recommend as I already had 2 websites with them and was completely satisfied.
I also host a website with Host Gator because I upload a lot of Renegade System Training Videos. I use Host Gator because of the download space and bandwidth I get with them. It only cost $7.95 per month and I can put an amazing amount of data on that site.
So as you can see that I am definitely not a SBI purist but I am a raving SBI fan. My SBI website www.theaussieworksteam.com has been consistently in the top pages with Goggle ever since The Renegade Network Marketer was released. SBI also does a great job.
At the end of the day you need to decide what the purpose is for you website and make a decision based on that.
I doesn’t matter what web hosting company you choose, reading Ken Evoy’s Free ebooks on Internet and affiliate marketing will be one of the best time investments you will ever make in relation to marketing and building websites.
Here is a collection of Ken Evoy’s Free Ebooks:

As an affiliate of The Renegade Network Marketer System, you have the choice to use the Renegade System’s landing page for The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing or you can create your own landing page and have prospects opt directly into your own mailing list. I much prefer to have people opt-in to my own mailing list so that I can control what messages are sent out to them.
The Renegade System does a really good job of following up with 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing leads with a series of emails that has a very specific ‘call to action’ which is to get people to click through to the Renegade Network Marketer Sales page. If you are wanting to get that email series for your own campaign, all as you need to do is opt-in to your own 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing page (found in the Quick Start section of the Renegade System), and opt-in to your own page. This way you will get the entire sequence and will also know when ever a new one has been added.
This alone is a great way to build your list and convert sales but there is one other strategy that I like to utilize to convert my 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing leads into sales and that is the FREE membership over at The Renegade University.
Heading Back To School
When someone opts-in to your mailing list, you are going to want to give them every opportunity to make an informed decision about purchasing The Renegade Network Marketer. The emails that we are sending people for the most part will direct people to The Renegade Network Marketer sales page as mention before but taking advantage of the Free membership area of the Renegade University to help tip the fence sitters your way is a very good technique.
What is The Renegade University All About?
The Renegade University is a membership site that has a lot of information on social marketing and how to use the Internet to attract business. It is independent of The Renegade System but it was modelled on and for The Renegade Network Marketer.
There are 2 levels to the Renegade University;
1. The Free Membership
2. The Professional Upgrade
It is the free membership that I suggest you to take advantage of. You may never feel the need to upgrade to the Professional level but the free membership is going to help you convert your 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing Leads into Renegade sales.
Here is a short video over-viewing The Renegade University and how it is going to help you convert those 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing leads into sales:

There seems to be a few missing links for people that have purchased Ann Sieg’s Renegade Network Marketer. It is not the ebook where there are gaps, on the contrary, it is so densely packed with valuable sales and marketing information that the light of day couldn’t be seen through the cracks.
Perhaps the biggest gap for people, is knowing how to put all of the great information into action to get results in their mlm business. It is really up to each individual affiliate to learn the methods of how to promote The Renegade Network Marketer. This is the case with any affiliate program on the Internet.
In fact, within the back end of the Renegade System, there is a huge amount of very helpful information on how to use the Internet to promote the Renegade Network Marketer ebook.
I am an affiliate with over 50 different programs and I can honestly say that The Renegade Network Marketer System has more information on ‘how to promote’, than any other program that I am affiliated with.
In the back end there is also a wide selection of promotional materials such as; banners, book graphics, Ad copy, and a whole lot more.
So why is it so hard?
Perhaps for many network marketers, this is their first attempt at Internet marketing. They may have used their computer for corresponding with people via email and surfing the web, but all of this other Internet marketing stuff…Double Dutch. It is all “Greek unless you are a Geek”.
The frustration and confusion that people often feel is completely understandable. Entering Internet marketing for the first time is like being strapped onto the space shuttle and launched into outer space.
There are all these terms to cope with that are most likely not even close to our vocabulary; domain names, redirects, webhosting, html code, ccs script, affiliate links, banner ads, ezines, PPC, adwords, adsense (incensed), blogs, web 2.0, facebook, squidoo, social marketing, squeeze pages, landing pages, opt-in forms, autoresponders, teleconferences, webinars, forums, yahoo answers, tracking codes, commission junction, paydot.com, tracking cookies, and on and on!
“Hold the space shuttle, let me off ’cause my head is spinning”.
What makes it worse, is that the more money you spend, the dizzier you get. Some people are probably thinking;
“I purchased The Renegade Network Marketer to solve a problem and now, I am up to my eyeballs in html code and I can’t see the forest from outer space.”
If that is you, don’t despair, let the shuttle come back down to earth and swap it for something a little cruiser. One thing is for sure;
“The Internet is not going anywhere, so why rush?”
I remember my first anatomy class when I enrolled into an oriental medicine course…same feeling, completely and utterly overwhelming!
It is like learning a whole new language. Internet marketing is not much different in my experience. The only difference is that there is someone ready to take your money at every click!
Taking it Slow and Easy
Sometimes when something is new on the market there is an urgency to capitalize on the momentum that is built up around a launch. This is certainly one phase of promoting something and does have merit, however, that period is over for The Renegade Network Marketer and so you can take a deep breath, relax, and go about building a promotional system in a nice orderly fashion.
The Renegade University is a membership site that specializes in taking Renegade Network Marketers through Internet marketing methods, in an easy to follow, step by step fashion.
There is a free membership area that will give you the basic information that you need to setup your Renegade Marketing System. You can get a free membership here…
In the video below, I take you through the marketing process that I prefer to use to integrate The Renegade Network Marketer and the Renegade University into a complete marketing system.
This covers the process of using the marketing concepts taught in the Renegade Network Marketer ebook and the marketing methods taught at the Renegade University to generate retail sales for your mlm products.
