Why You’ll Likely Fall Flat on Your Face in Your MLM

Don't Let Your MLM Make You Fall Flat on Your Face?

Don't Let Your MLM Make You Fall Flat on Your Face

I despise hype in the network marketing industry.

Unfortunately, MLM hype is what made me jump into my first network marketing opportunity more than 30 years ago.  Within six weeks I quit.

Why?  Well, thirty years ago, I was forced to use the old school methods of network marketing (and we all know that is set up for quick failure).

If I were a savvy business entrepreneur, I would have used ‘big boy’ marketing methods.  But it was, quite frankly, way out of reach of my monthly household budget.  TV, radio, billboard, and even local newspaper was ridiculously expensive.  Internet was not even an option then.

So I guess I had an excuse for failure.

Let’s face it, most of us have experience with trying to succeed with network marketing by just “sharing” our product and having an obscene passion for the products or the company.  And with that excuse, I didn’t feel so bad about quitting.

We’re not so lucky today, to have an excuse to quit our MLM.   Because today, real-life, honest to goodness marketing skills are affordable and within any monthly budget.

You know what though? Most people will fall flat on their faces with their MLM because they won’t take the steps to get skilled in using this one, extremely affordable marketing source, called the Internet. They’ll say that they are technologically challenged, or don’t have the time, or need to make money fast. And that my friend, sets them up for immediate failure in their MLM business.

Excuses.

And they have lots of them.

Are you financially strapped?  Can’t spend another dime?  Wish you had some hands-on help?  Feel extremely challenged even turning on the satellite dish?  Have a feeling of information overload and overwhelm?

Then take advantage of a very generous and rewarding offer. Renegade University, the step before Renegade Professional starts you on your way to online marketing at absolutely NO cost, not a single penny.

Today, within five minutes, you can begin to learn what thousands are already successfully doing (including me and my business partner of Empowered Business Entrepreneurs, Lisa Hanfileti). Renegade University is LOADED with online marketing step-by-step training tutorials that they are GIVING away.  You could be taking these courses for weeks before you get through them all. It’s a feast for network marketers who are challenged with finding prospects and overwhelmed with how to promote their MLM online.

I call it a Basic Marketing 101 course. You need to take these steps first before you can even consider taking the advanced 300 or 400 level classes. (Why would you jump into your junior or senior year of college when you haven’t taken the steps in your introductory courses?)

Of course, you could also be of the MLM mindset that nothing is going to work for you, too.  That’s okay – we’ll put you in the MLM failure category and wish you success in working for someone else in a 8 to 5 day job for the rest of your life.

But if you are really an interested business entrepreneur, who wants to make your MLM work (and do so profitably) then you’ve come to the right place.
I challenge you to take a look at this amazing site to introduce yourself to learning how to attract prospects to you.

We just posted a whole new page on our website, and created a 14 minute video tutorial of the Renegade University (including how to log in and how to use it!).  Take a look at it here:  http://www.empoweredbusinessentrepreneurs.com/build-an-online-business.html

Don’t hesitate for another moment to take the very first steps to truly get into attraction marketing.  I’ll be looking for your feedback too!

Warm Regards,

Alicia Bausley

P.S.   Just FYI – Renegade Professional officially opens their doors on June 22 – and they will remain open!  You’ll be notified of more details once you log into Renegade University.  We’ll see you there!  Our picture will be on your welcome page!

  1. Hi Alicia,
    In promoting Renegade University and Professional, has consideration been made to first promote your EBE website as an affiliate link, then linking up with University Pro (for example)

    My above website is still under construction (drafting my contents) and I wanted to weave into my contents the great mentorship and training you and Lisa do.

    In other words, I’m looking for a transition first to your website followed up by Renegade programs.

    Your guidance please,
    Bryan (Boz)

    This article helped to re-focus me…again! I am known to be very focussed, but there is so much available within The Renegade System making it easy to get side-tracked.

    On the weekend I set aside time to re-read The Renegade Network Marketing E-Book, and also to view some tutorials on Ann Sieg’s Team Site. It’s clear that I have hardly scratched the surface…..and now I am anxious to take a look at the SBI tutorials on Renegade University as I am just starting my own website with SBI.

    With extreme gratitude for all the support!

    Hi Bonnie!

    I re-read Ann Sieg’s The Renegade Network Marketer last week for the third time and still picked up information I overlooked on my first and second read.

    There is so much information on the Internet (makes sense being an information highway!), that it becomes easy to get overwhelmed, and distracted. You are within SBI now, so stay focused, read and re-read! You’ll love it.

    I rarely work on Sundays, because I want to share that time with my husband, but yesterday my head was reeling with so many ideas, I sat down from 4 to 9 pm and wrote 7 more pages of content for our Empowered Business Entrepreneurs site. I didn’t want to be distracted with my book writing today!

    It’s a GREAT passion – writing and helping others!

    Warm regards,

    Alicia
