Our Empowered Business Entrepreneurs (EBE) Renegade Professional Forum is a friendly place where real network marketing renegades can team up, share tips and marketing ideas, showcase (and get instructive feedback on) their online marketing materials, provide valuable resources, give support, receive inspiration, share with their team members, and pay it all forward so the cycle continues.

We created the EBE Renegade Professional Forum to give network marketers (many of whom have already failed at the old school method of network marketing) a safe place to ask questions, learn, and develop as successful online business entrepreneurs.  However, our Renegade Professional Forum would not exist if were not for a little thing that we like to call, Renegade Rage!

Renegade Rage”

Ann Sieg started the Renegade Rage by releasing her ebook, The Renegade Network Marketer in June 2007.  She totally set our network marketing industry on its ear, and it’s been a blast ever since!  Really… she made a lot of people mad – but the majority of people saw the light.  Renegades now number in the hundreds of thousands and the number is growing everyday.

If you are confused by the growing number of “Renegades” out there, you are not the only one.  It seems there is Renegade-itis all over the Internet!  Let’s see if we can clear up the confusion.

  • The Renegade Network Marketer – Ann Sieg’s EBOOK that teaches the philosophy of attraction marketing and earning multiple streams of income and quite honestly, dumping the old network marketing ways.  It’s 144 pages that can change your life (that is, IF you read through to the last chapter… see below!)
  • The Renegade System – A FREE MEMBERSHIP WEBSITE included with your purchase of The Renegade Network Marketer ebook. Get this… 80% of the people who buy Ann’s ebook never even log into the free Renegade System that is included with her ebook!  That’s because it is explained in the last chapter and it’s only for people who are ready, willing, and able to take the necessary steps to succeed on the Internet.  The Renegade System is a very special website that has training and marketing tools, but it is also shows you how to sign up with approximately 40 other affiliate companies, embed them in your own version of the ebook and start making multiple streams of income and generating your own qualified leads.  It’s brilliant!  Too bad so few network marketers know about it.  Or maybe it’s a good thing! ;)
  • Ann Sieg’s Renegade Marketing Team – A PRIVATE TEAM SITE created by Ann Sieg just for her Associates to teach and train them the most useful techniques in online network marketing.
  • Renegade University – FREE ONLINE TRAINING founded by Mike Klingler and developed by Ann Sieg herself.  Ren U (as we affectionately refer to our alma mater) is a place to receive free online training that teaches network marketers (in particular us baby boomers!) how to become visible on the Internet and attract prospects.  All of the tutorials are in written, video, or live webinar format and are designed for the Internet beginner.  More advanced training is available when you are ready to graduate from Ren U and enter Renegade Professional.
  • Renegade Professional – PAID MEMBERSHIP ONLINE TRAINING also offered by Mike Klingler and Ann Sieg.  It is a website that offers a huge array of video tutorials teaching everything from blogging, writing for the web, YouTube video marketing, creating lead capture pages, Site Build It website development, the consultative approach to sales, and lots more.
  • Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program (RBMP) – the OFFICIAL MENTORING PROGRAM OFFERED BY ANN SIEG.  This progam is for those individuals who really want professional marketing instruction and guidance.  Ann offers a series of twelve live 90-minute webinars in addition to other training.  There is a 30-Day money back guarantee, so be sure to check it out if you want personal instruction from Ann Sieg!  Click on the link to read all thedetails and to see the course curriculum.

Go ahead and print this page out so you can keep the different ‘Renegades’ straight.

Becoming a Renegade has been a life changing experience for us.  We know it will be for you too.

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!
