Mom is Able to Teach & Guide Autistic Son to Start Own Internet Business with Renegade Professional Training

Just as we promised, Marketing Merge is announcing another all expense paid winner to our Renegade Professional Live Event this weekend.

But first, have you ever read anything more inspiring?

Go ahead and read a portion from Rana Burr’s all expense paid Renegade Professional Live Event winning essay,

“Nearest and dearest to me, though, is the guidance that I have been able to give to my 13 year old son as he builds his own internet business. Most people would have given up on the idea of him ever being able to support himself financially because of his autism.”

Using Renegade Professional to integrate family into the culture of her home business environment isn’t the only reason Rana Burr was chosen as the second winner of the all expense paid Renegade Professional Live Event. Rana systematically broke down with succinct clarity how Renegade Professional has enhanced her business with specific and clear results.

Read Rana Burr’s full contest winning essay below

rana & kidsWhat Renegade Professional did for me was to fill in my marketing gaps, making me far more effective and knowledgeable. The comprehensive training offered here is awe-inspiring.

It is also a resource that I can whole-heartedly recommend to marketers of any level. My further involvement in Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring as a home study student helped me to make huge leaps in my confidence and in my vision for my business.

Here’s what has happened as a result:

1. My upline asked me to lead a small group in developing a lead generation system for our team.

Thanks to the knowledge I have gained through Marketing Merge, I was able to guide them through the process of setting up their own HubPages, Squidoo lenses, and blog posts. In addition, they are now back-link-building experts, so that our page is #2 on Yahoo for an extremely competitive search phrase, generating multiple leads on a daily basis.

2. I have been able to offer my services to a handful of local business owners that I really like so that they can enjoy online success, too.

This has been extremely gratifying in light of the current economy. Not only have I helped them to stay in business, but I am having fun and making money at the same time!

3. Being involved with the Super Guide program, even though it has only been for a short time, has enabled me to team up on an amazing new project with someone I consider to be a superstar.

Awesome.

4. Nearest and dearest to me, though, is the guidance that I have been able to give to my 13 year old son as he builds his own internet business.

Most people would have given up on the idea of him ever being able to support himself financially because of his autism. Thanks to Ann and Mike, I now consider him to be my business partner! He is so good at taking what he has learned and implementing it right away (as opposed to taking notes and adding it to a long list of things to do). I hope everyone will get to meet him someday soon.

One last thing.

The sense of community that Ann, Mike, Eric, Didi, and the rest of the team at Marketing Merge have built is incredible

.

These guys are genuinely committed to seeing everyone be successful. I especially appreciate how they give their members opportunities to contribute on a regular basis. I don’t think there is another organization like theirs anywhere in the world, and I feel extremely grateful to be a part of it.

Great job Rana! We’re looking forward to meeting you with the rest of the Marketing Merge community this weekend here in Portland, Oregon.

The team here at Marketing Merge is happy that Renegade Professional has produced good results for you. This remains the motivation that keeps us continuing the product and program development that makes Renegade Professional the best training on the internet.

Breaking News – Contest Winner Marie Leonard Responds with Unsolicited “Trimmed” Version of Winning Essay. Read It Here, Read It Now

I woke up this morning to find a message from Marie Leonard with an abbreviated version of her winning essay. The word count was 439. It was just as brilliant. But the bigger (and more impressive) issue here is that no one asked Marie to do that. By no means did she have to or need to. It just goes to show what kind of special people we have in this community.

Read Marie Leonard’s winning essay-

When I was nine, I had to watch over my 2 year old brother while my mum
went to town for errands. Being nine, a little brother was more of a nuisance
than a blessing, especially when potty time came around. I had
explicit instructions to sit him on his little potty chair and do what was
necessary when he was done. Oh joy!

Once I had disposed of the removable pot, I had to extricate him from this
contraption. The potty chairs back then had a movable arm that swung down
in front of the child to stop them from getting up. Well, the arm got
stuck. I tried everything. I shook and I pulled and at one point grabbed
him by the ankles and dangled him upside down in the hopes that the potty
chair would just fall off. No such luck!

You might be wondering what all of this has to do with being a Renegade
Professional. Well, it wasn’t until I became a Renegade Professional that
I stopped hanging upside down by the ankles. It was here that I had to
take stock of where I had been and where I wanted to go.

Focus, resolve to succeed and confidence that I will succeed, are now my
constant companions.

As to what I learned? Nothing easier with Steve Anderson’s insightful
Wordpress tutorials clearly describing the funnel effect of marketing.
Applying what I learned as a member of the link logic team further embedded
in me the importance of SEO done right.

The perks don’t stop there, however. Thanks to Marketing Merge
generosity, Daivd Garfinkel, copywriting guru, exploded the lid off
Pandora’s copywriting box in a 6 week Ultimate Copywriting Course that
invariably has become part of my writing style today.

Better equipped with marketable skills, I now feel confident building an
SBI site that will deliver the kind of value people are looking for.

However, the knowledge I now have weighs heavily upon my shoulders. I can
no longer write just so-so, get by content. It’s a matter of delivering
value or not deliver at all.

Having achieved super guide status and now participating as a PBN trainer
developing the alternative health field is allowing me to give back. I am
doubly blessed.

Moreover, participating in the Coaching Cognition course has me ripping
away any pretense at faking it. Here is a safety net without judgment.
These coaching skills are now an important part of the resume that I bring
to the online marketing table.

Oh and by the way, my poor brother had to spend 2 hours shackled to his
potty before deliverance came!

Thanks Marie. You really didn’t have to do that. You went above and beyond what was expected of you. I guess that keeps with what you were talking about by being able to give back just as much as you feel you are receiving.

Keep eyes posted for another all expense paid trip winner.

Contest Winning Copywriting that was too Good? (Seriously!)

Get a load of this… here is some Renegade Professional News for you…

Apparently, we got so caught up in the brilliance of Marie Leonard’s all expense winning Renegade Professional Live Event ticket essay that we missed something in our own fine print.

Ooops!

When we invited you to reply at our Renegade Professional News

Facebook page with your response for the contest, we specified it should be no longer than 450 words.

We completely lost sight of this when reading Marie Leonard’s

winning contest essay because it was so good; so captivating, we lost sight of one thing…

It was longer than 450 words.

(Don’t worry Marie, we’ll get you here even if we’re all taking turns pushing you in the wheelbarrow).

Anyway, we discussed this as a team and came to a conclusion.

Some could perceive this as an unfair advantage, and we don’t want that.

We realized that we made an honest mistake, and we want to own up to it.

So we’re going to announce ANOTHER ALL EXPENSE PAID LIVE EVENT WINNER.

That’s correct.

We’re heading back to Renegade Professional News Facebook page to review the essays for one more deserving winner

.

We’ll announce the winner in 24 hours.

Please except our apologies for not reading our own fine print.

With strong core values at the heart of our community, we feel it was important to communicate this to you.

Be on the lookout tomorrow, as we announce another all expense

paid Renegade Professional Live Event winner.

Sincerely,

Renegade Professional Team

P.S. Late Breaking News – I woke up this morning to find a message from Marie Leonard with an abbreviated version of her winning essay. The word count was 439. It was just as brilliant. But the bigger (and more impressive) issue here is that no one asked Marie to do that. By no means did she have to or need to. It just goes to show what kind of special people we have in this community.

And the Winner of the Renegade Professional Live Event Is…(Drum Roll Please)

If you haven’t been keeping up with the Renegade Professional News, we happily announced the winner of the all expenses paid trip to the Renegade Professional Live Event in Portland, Oregon this January 16th and 17th during our Ustream broadcast we held at the Marketing Merge office.

To participate, you simply had to go to our Renegade Professional Facebook page and state the ways in which Renegade Professional has made a difference for you. Over 55 of you submitted essays for us to review.

And after reading and re-reading the contestant entries, it was Marie Leonard who clearly stood out as the winner. Her submission addresses the over-the-top value that Renegade Professional and the Marketing Merge community as a whole, has to offer.

And likewise, as Marie so eloquently states in the conclusion of her submission, it’s not that she has only taken all this value to build up her skill set, and therefore realizing that becoming an internet marketer is not a pipe dream, it’s that the value she’s received is allowing her to give it back (in a big way).

Marie you get it. You get it BIG TIME!

There were two other winners who won one free admission ticket to the Renegade Professional Live Event. They were Dotty Scott and Angela Arnold. We will feature their winning essays at The Renegade Professional News.

But right now – don’t hesitate – read Marie Leonard’s winning essay. Read every word. This is some of the best content you’ll read all year not because she gives so much credit to Renegade Professional.

We say it’s the best content you’ll read all year because Marie clearly is using what she has learned, and that is brilliantly illustrated by the copywriting skills she employed to craft this essay. She also integrates humor, which is a great strategy for grabbing people’s attention.

And she did! She definitely grabbed our attention, and when you begin to read Marie’s essay, she’ll grab yours too.

Marie Leonard’s All Expense Paid Trip to Portland Live Event Winning Essay

When I was nine, I had to watch over my 2 year old brother while my mum went to town for errands. Being nine, a little brother was more of a nuisance than a blessing, especially when potty time came around. I had explicit instructions to sit him on his little potty chair and do what was necessary when he was done. Oh joy!

Once I had disposed of the removable pot, I had to extricate him from this contraption. The potty chairs back then had a movable arm that swung down in front of the child to stop them from getting up off the seat. Well, the arm got stuck and here was my poor brother, unable to get off the chair.

I tried everything. I shook and I pulled and at one point grabbed him by the ankles and dangled him upside down in the hopes that the potty chair would just fall off. No such luck!

You might be wondering what all of this has to do with being a Renegade Professional. Well, it wasn’t until I became a Renegade Professional that I stopped hanging upside down by the ankles. It was here that I had to take stock of where I had been and where I wanted to go.

I became more focused as I applied the lessons learned. My resolve to succeed grew. If Mike (Klingler)could do it, so could I. If Ann (Sieg), DiDi (Alcheva) and Eric (Walker) could do it, so could I. I now feel more and more validated that my decision to become an online marketer is not a pie in the sky dream, but a reachable vision that Renegade Professional has clearly articulated for me.

Attending Steve Anderson’s WordPress course was a real eye opener for me. It’s not that I didn’t know anything about WordPress. After all, I maintain two WordPress sites and do all the technical work myself.

No, it’s the concept of building a funnel structure that the search engines like, and that sets your site apart from all others that are just haphazardly put together, no matter how good the content. I could really appreciate the value of that knowledge and have since started to revamp my blogs with that structure in mind.

What helped even further was being a member of the Super Guide program. And within the Super Guide program, being a member of the link logic team. This forced me to really understand the concept fully. As a Super Guide, I was practicing what was being preached!

Moreover, I have now ventured into SBI territory, creating a site that I know will deliver the kind of value people are looking for.

Eric Walker’s latest post to all Super Guides about burrowing down deep and becoming a relative expert/authority on one particular topic, gave me lots of food for thought. I love doing video and so have started a series of videos that will promote each tier of my site. Along with the specific knowledge I gained on keyword research and linking strategies, I can now easily see how to monetize it.

Without the background tutorials provided in Renegade Professional, I doubt if my grasp of those concepts would be as clear today.

Who said Pandora’s Box was a bad thing! That’s how I view David Garfinkel’s Ultimate Copy Writing Course. As a member of the Super Guide program, I actually received Garfinkel’s course for free. He helped me “blow the lid,” and made it alright to use imagery and feelings in one’s writing that captures the audience and keep them wanting more. It’s not that I didn’t know that one could not write this way, but what I didn’t know was how I could. He clearly defined the guidelines and even gave us all templates to make the writing process even easier. What a guy!

However, the knowledge I took away from this course weighs heavily upon my shoulders now. I can no longer write just “so-so, get by content.” I am now obliged to deliver in an entertaining and value driven way or not deliver at all.

To top it all, taking the Coaching Cognition course has me ripping away any pretense at faking it. It is also providing me with a safety net I never had before. Knowing there is someone there who understands, and to whom I can confide my apprehension, successes and vision with, is too big for words.

It is so huge that I feel compelled to provide the same service for others. After all, other people feel uncertain and apprehensive too and may need a sympathetic ear where judgment just is not part of the vocabulary.

Again, if I hadn’t become a Renegade Professional in the first place, I may never have advanced as far as fast. Being a Super Guide and PBN trainer to boot has allowed me to take, but more importantly, it is allowing me to give back. I am doubly blessed.

Oh and by the way, my poor brother had to spend 2 hours shackled to his potty before deliverance came!

Season Greetings to All,
Marie Leonard

Hope you enjoyed that. Thank you Marie Leonard! You are proof that what we’re doing is working. We certainly are looking forward to meeting you in two weeks here in Portland for the Renegade Professional Live Event.

Angela Arnold’s Live Event Ticket Winning Essay

I came to Renegade Professional seven weeks ago.
After studying Dotty Scott’s Twitter tutorial, I created my own twitter background. Although I have 4000+ Twitter followers, I gained valuable insights into automating my tweets and leveraging twitter applications.
I’d already set up some blogs, so I thought I knew what I was doing. Nevertheless I reviewed Steven Anderson’s Wordpress tutorials, and I was astounded to find out I had the wrong settings on my blog. After changing my settings and adding the ping services he recommended, I experienced a whopping 3200% increase in traffic to one of my blogs. Now I promise to review ALL of the Renegade trainings because one nugget of overlooked information can have an astonishing effect on your business.
I’m very enthusiastic about everything Renegade Professional has to offer. I look forward to becoming a coach, Super Guide, trainer, and a PBN Marketing Specialist. I have created more than 100 videos, and I am planning to get into video marketing and podcasting in a big way.
Coaching Cognition is absolutely phenomenal. In fewer than three weeks, I have learned and implemented so much. In fact, I just helped my son work through an employment-related situation by just helping him to understand the difference between sympathetic listening and empathetic listening.
My peer coaches and I have already engaged in such deeply personal and empowering conversations that I’m certain we’ll be friends and business partners for life.
What makes Renegade Professional so compelling is its hands-on instruction. Research indicates that we’ll remember 10% of what we hear; 30% of what we hear and see; 70% of what we hear, see, and do; and almost 90% of what we hear, see, do, and teach. Renegade Professional encourages us to teach others what we know, and that’s the most effective type of learning.
Despite all of the fantastic training, the most precious resource of Renegade Professional is its people.
Warren Little was the first person to offer feedback on my newly published website.
When I created an autoresponder sequence for my leads, I contacted some Renegade Facebook friends whom I’d never met and requested a brief testimonial to use as social proof for my email campaign. Within 24 hours, I received written testimonials from Barbara Silva and Cindy Schulson, and a bit later from Becky Joubert, James Rouse, Liz Bronson, and Donna Wells.
The close-knit Renegade Professional community is inhabited by go-givers and dynamos, and I am terribly grateful to have found these caring, incredibly generous folks. We renegades develop unprecedented leadership skills as we plant our marketing flags in cyberspace.
It’s an incredibly rewarding, deeply fulfilling journey.
Thank you so much, Mike, Ann, and the entire renegade family.

Dotty Scott’s Live Event Ticket Winning Essay

Dotty Scott

Dotty Scott

I use Renegade Professional in a slightly different way than the average person.

I came to Renegade when it was newly launched because of reading Ann’s Renegade ebook. I own and operate a web design business and I had been previously thinking that my clients need more than just a website – they need to learn how to market their new site.

I had no experience with Squidoo, HubPages (never even heard of them). I knew what blogging was but never had done anything with it. I basically had no experience with Social Media of any kind.

I went through some (not all) of the video trainings in the back office – a few each weekend. I then started using what I had learned for my own business to see what results I could get. My traffic and website inquiries went up drastically.

I then took the lessons learned and started social media consulting (an add-on package) for my clients to teach them how to use social media in their business too. Selling this social media package has increased the bottom line for my business and carried me through the summer months that are traditionally very dry.

Prior to Renegade Professional I had never made a Camtaisa training – did not know how. Renegade Professional taught me how to use the Camtaisa technology and I have been able to produce useful trainings for both the Renegade Professional community and for my customer base – another add-on sale for my business.

Renegade Professional has taught me ways to increase the dollar amount of each sael per customer as well as how to bring in new customers, and even customers that do not need a website but need either technical web help or help with social media.

Renegade Professional has helped my business get through a very tough year, and come out with increased revenue over the past years.

Way to go!

When Marie Leonard Says She Lives Off the Grid, She Really Means Off the Grid!

Marie Leonard lives off the grid. We didn’t know just “how off the grid” until we contacted her to inform her of winning the all expense paid trip to Portland, Oregon for the Renegade Professional Live Event.

Ever heard of Cochrane, Ontario? Me either. Take a look at the Google Map to see what “off the grid” really means.

It's a long way from Cochrane, Ontario Canada to Portland, Oregon USA

It's a long way from Cochrane, Ontario Canada to Portland, Oregon USA

Marie, respectfully, once told me it would suit her better if Super Guide webinars were earlier than the usual 6:30 PST/EST because for her, that’s about the time she runs the generator to boost their backup batteries, and going out to start that generator at -20 degrees is better at 6:30 EST than it is at 9:30 EST.

Not your average internet marketer, eh?!

Marie is an alternative health researcher and practitioner who has recently expanded her knowledge to marketing online.

Marie, literally, lives off the grid – in the bush – in a log home overlooking a lake where internet access is very limited. This has challenged her to overcome this barrier. As a result, she loves to help others who may be similarly challenged by coaching them to be successful online.

Just to give you an idea of how far Marie has to travel to reach Portland, she would normally have to drive a full day to reach the nearest airport. But instead, Marketing Merge is arranging it so she only has to drive about an hour to a small-time nearby local airport. From there, Marie will be able to connect to a larger airport, and make her way to Portland.

Take a look at pictures of Marie’s property.

It might have been easy to conveniently skip by Marie’s winning essay. There are that many top responses. Doing so could have been a more prudent business decision. But that’s exactly the point, Marketing Merge has proven to make wise business decision after wise business decision. That’s what creates a million dollar company. And those decisions get made by putting people first.

Great job Marie Leonard. On behalf of all Renegade Professional and Marketing Merge, we’re wishing you the very safest of travels.

In fact, we wish all of you traveling from great distances safe travels, we are excited to meet you all. We’ll see you in about 10 days.

  1. Marie – I know you’ve told me about living ‘off the grid’, but seeing the pictures and the map really puts it in perspective.

    It looks so peaceful – what a beautiful view!

    I look forward to meeting you in Portland.
    Safe travels!

  2. Thanks Michael. Me too! But Mike may have to whip out that wheel barrow he mentioned to come and get me with if I don’t see any air plane ticket action real soon.

    Comment by Marie Leonard — January 6, 2010 @ 12:59 pm

  3. Congrats to Angela and Dotty. It’ll be great to connect with such talented ladies!

    Comment by Marie Leonard — January 6, 2010 @ 1:04 pm

  4. Marie, such brilliant copy writing and I know you echoed the sentiments of many Renegade Professionals but you said it so magnificently for us all. I loved the humour and the way you kept us there until the end guessing about the potty.

    Have an incredible time in Portland on this historical occasion.

    Perhaps we can expect a great piece of content relaying all the wonderful things and people you will encounter.

    Comment by Judith Atkinson — January 7, 2010 @ 8:17 am

  5. Marie, you put into words so well, how the journey Renegade Professional has manifested for most of us who have plugged through to the Super Guide program.

    It is like moving from using bird shot for hunting White Tail deer in the back forty to rifle. The target is much more focused, the aim is sure, a direct hit in much more likely to happen.

    Coaching Cognition is the icing on the cake, or the deer in the bag (lol) with the added skill sets of listening, understanding and guiding.

    Great essay, and I do look forward to a big hug in Portland.

    Comment by Pat Campbell — January 7, 2010 @ 2:25 pm

  6. Cool, I just got to Eric’s last comments about “reading the fine print”.

    This is just like Marketing Merge, to be so generous on one end to operate from the “heart and gut response”. Then when a goof up is made, to acknowledge it and make good on it.

    Congratulations to the second winner.

    Comment by Pat Campbell — January 7, 2010 @ 2:39 pm

  7. Hello, everyone.

    First of all, I am sending this message out to the entire Renegade community.

    I don’t usually go public on a lot of blogs, but I feel compelled to write a few items. Please forgive me if I ramble or go off-topic. I feel like Sally Fields when she won an Oscar and blurted out as part of her acceptance speech, “You like me. You really like me!”

    Marie, I’d like to applaud your contest victory, and I’m sure you have many achievements to be proud of. Even though your home is in the boonies, it looks like a very pleasant place to live. I am also glad that we are in the same Coaching Cognition training class. We’ll have lots of things to talk about in Portland, and I am looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the renegades.

    Dotty, please accept my congratulations for your extremely well-written and heartfelt essay. Thanks for thinking of me and referring a facebook fan. We really have to look each other up at the Live Event.

    As a testament to the strength and caring of our supportive community, I started receiving pats of the back from my friends and associates as soon as my name was announced. It was truly thrilling and a marvelous way to start the new year.

    I will work my hardest to make 2010 a fantastic one that exemplifies the best that Renegade Professional and attraction marketing have to offer.

    So once again, thanks Mike, Ann, Eric, Didi, and congrats Marie and Dotty.

    Comment by Angela Arnold — January 7, 2010 @ 4:31 pm

  8. Marie,
    I know we talked already, but I wanted you to know how proud I was of you. You always go over and above what is expected.
    I love hearing about you living “off the grid”. You’re very deserving.
    And Dotty and Angela are 2 lucky and talented marketers as well!

    Becky

    Thank you for doing what you do.

  11. @ Eric
    Let’s have fun with the word C A R E !! :-) as it describes Marketing Merge.

    C – compassionate
    A – authentic
    R – rejuvenating
    E – educational or excellent or effective or efficacious :-)

    Comment by Pat Campbell — January 11, 2010 @ 7:49 am

  12. Rana, congratulations.

    Your story is powerful in the impact Renegade Professional is having not only in your own marketing, but for those you are reaching out to.

    It is heart-warming and inspiring to realize that Renegade Professional skills fit your sons’ giftedness. What a wonderful gift you are able to provide for him and his future.

    I too look forward to our meet up in Portland. Four more sleeps! :-)

    Comment by Pat Campbell — January 11, 2010 @ 2:14 pm

  13. Fantastic Marie, you’re an excellent story teller most of the time I just skim though article posts but this one captured my attention all the way to the end.

    Comment by kevin thomas — January 14, 2010 @ 1:21 pm

  14. Marie,
    I just checked out the map and thought “Gee, that area looks kind of familiar.” My father and I used to travel to the Rouyn-Noranda area to go fishing when I was younger. We wouldn’t see anybody else the entire time we were there. Just bears and moose.

    Comment by Adrian Schleis — January 14, 2010 @ 10:07 pm

  15. It’s happening, we are here!!!

    It is amazing to meet face to face with the friends, “heroes” who mentor and teach us.

    The sound of the meeting rooms is a buzz of sound as friends meet up with each other and meet new friends.

    Plan for 2011 to be here.
    :-)

    Comment by Pat Campbell — January 16, 2010 @ 10:11 am

  16. @Marie
    I have already had the incredible experience of being at the receiving end of your generosity. And you don’t know me from Adam! Congratulations Marie, that article is obviously a winner. I believe I am a fan for life.

    @Angela
    Hi there Marketing Guru! I didn’t know you have 100 odd videos out there! You inspire me to go back to my tutorials! Congrats!

    @Dotty
    You’re driving home the same point. Hit the tutorials! And Congratulations.

    @Rana
    Your story touched home for me. I want to help the less fortunate make a living! I know one mother who has 2 (yes you read right, TWO) autistic children. Another intelligent 35 year old who is the kindest soul ever) has been shortchanged from living a decent life because she has epilepsy. And a fourth graduate who cannot get a decent job because he is wheelchair bound! Wouldn’t it be grand to give them something that would give them a decent source of income.

    Thanks for all the inspiring stories. Gosh I really missed out by not going for the live event.

Scroll down the page if your interest was piqued by the headline to learn more details about connecting with Mike Klingler and the Marketing Merge team on Ustream.

Or patiently read the valuable information you should know about Ustream.tv.

Ustream.tv is a free service that allows you to broadcast video and interact with an audience – live.

To get started, all you need is a webcam (or a traditional video camera attached to your computer) and a broadband Internet connection.

Ustream.tv isn’t the only game in town, but seems to be most popular right now. Other live stream services include stickam.com operator11.com and justin.tv

Is Ustream.tv a good marketing tool for your business?

This depends on three important factors. But first, ask yourself what you’re doing online. Other questions that follow would be:

  • How will it build your brand and/or business?
  • What is your comfort level on video? Now kick it up a notch, what’s your comfort on live video?
  • How will live streaming video assist the marketing and sales funnel process you’ve created?

Live video services are intended to be watched by a live audience. They are not meant for pre-recorded video. Nonetheless, it can be valuable to record and make available for play back.

Here is an example.

Let’s say you are thinking about purchasing an SEO course that costs $997, but you have some questions you’d feel much more comfortable asking before purchase.

It sure makes sense for the owners of that SEO course to host a live streaming video doesn’t it?! Of course, they could be fielding all varieties of questions that make a difference between purchase and no purchase.

In this case, it’s also a great tool for establishing trust and making a connection.

Follow this link if you want even more examples and information for how to use live video streaming with Ustream.tv?

Most prefer to watch video at their convenience. This is why pre-recorded video rules over live video. That and all the edits that are sometimes needed to create slick and professional videos.

You can offer recordings of your original “live video” to your audience. But often, the live streaming videos aren’t meant for that. Bottom line is that there is a stark difference between recording “live video” and one that is pre-recorded and edited.

But what if you want to play around with live broadcasting nonetheless, just to see what happens?

We recommend you should, and we have a fun opportunity for you to help you get started. Pay close attention to the following.

Meet up with Mike Klingler and the Marketing Merge team on Ustream on New Years Day! Mike will be speaking to our Renegade Professional community.

Didi Alcheva will be announcing the winners of the live event contest. (Don’t worry, attending the live streaming video isn’t a condition for being a contest winner).

You’ll get to meet up with the entire Marketing Merge team. We’ll be wishing you a happy and prosperous 2010, and giving a special “can’t wait to meet you” greeting to all those who are planning to attend the Renegade Professional Live Event.

If you want to connect with Mike Klingler and the entire Marketing Merge team on live streaming video where you’ll be able to ask questions and interact, follow the link to learn more specific details.

Yes, I want to meet Mike Klingler on Live Streaming Video

Alicia enjoys teaching and training other entrepreneurs how to attain the same debt-free lifestyle she lives today.

“…It was the equivalent of that video working continuously for 2 straight years – constantly. And it brought a lot of money my way! How can you make a half million working 20 hours a week? It doesn’t sound human. Well, it’s not human. You learn to digitize yourself, and your website never sleeps.”

Mark_HoversonMark Hoverson started his online business with a $250 used computer. At first, he did not know how to attach a document to an email, but within 14 months, he was able to generate over $3.2 million dollars.

Mark is known for his ability to create a “high tech, high touch” community that focuses on personal branding & leadership.

He will be speaking about Automation without Alienation: how to create a personality-rich system of earning that is highly automated, yet also builds a thriving community.

Discover Mark’s time-saving secrets for virtually eliminating email and other low-paying activities, so you can focus only on the two highest-paid activities: building your personal brand & teaching your team to thrive. This presentation alone is worth the trip!

  1. Mark is singing my song: automated systems, 4 hour work days, eliminating emails…This was an eye-opening interview.
    I’m all ears for more!

    Comment by Becky Joubert — December 28, 2009 @ 10:11 am

  2. I am really looking forward to hearing Mark speak. I get so distracted when I’m on the Internet or even check my email. I NEED to set better work hours for myself and my family. I’m very excited for the whole event–learning how to take my business to the next level, meeting all the presenters and meeting other people from the Renegade community. It’s going to be fabulous!

    Can’t wait to see you all there! :)

  3. Awesome analogy of the board between the two buildings. I’ll be making a video on that tomorrow, hope that’s OK with Mark (I’ll acknowledge him as the inspiration)!

  4. I’m eating Mark up right now.

    I love his “Atrach meaning to Things.” quite an emotional explanation but it hit the target.

    Trading Excuses for Cash!!! How many of us have done this??

    Back to finish and ADD to the 2010 business plan with multi videos.

    Cant’ wait to here the reports from Portland.

    Thank you Mark for sharing that with us and our community.

    We have a great community here with so much support and so many resources.Everyone should be at the Live Event.
    See you there.

  6. Mark, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Way to bring the ‘reason’ to the forefront of what we do. Congratulations on your success and for your courage and willingness to share. Much appreciated

    Comment by Gayle Buchanan — December 30, 2009 @ 11:59 am

  7. Great ideas Mark…the best marketing tool I presently use is a BIG White Board!! Staying focused on daily production is way easier when it’s staring at you in multi-colored marker!! Keeps you off twitter and facebook when your daily goals are in your face.

    I do have two exceptions to your thoughts…In my book, network marketing is a relationship business. In that sense, once most is automated and you are NOT diddling around on the internet, I strongly feel that you do need to spend time on the phone and you do need to return emails. You can automate 95% of it..but ultimately it’s real people interacting in real time with other real people.

    As for bookmarking others’ content… Getting your stuff bookmarked by others is one of the most powerful ways of becoming more visible to search engines. But, only the uniformed do this by hand any more. With Synnd (http://gotsynnd.info)..you can accomplish this very important task…in under 1/2 hour per day…thus keeping within the outsourcing and automating mindset.

    Looking forward to meeting you at the live event.

    Peace and Abundance,

“One day I decided to contact Mike Klingler. I had this idea and I was certain it was going to be beneficial for a lot of people. I thought he was going to think I was a little crazy – I spilled out all my ideas. I was pleasantly surprised when I received a reply. It was then that I knew I had to show Mike (Marketing Merge) what I could do…”

“We only have one physical body to do all that we do. We get one chance. When that body breaks down, life is going to come to a screeching halt. My desire is to convey simple principals and practical steps that everyone can employ to begin to take responsiblity for their own health.”

Jerry_and_Sharon_GrahamJerry & Sharon Graham are excellent examples of how to apply what you’ve learned about Attraction Marketing to unique topics.

In their case, they’ve built an audience and following by educating about wellness.

They’ll be here as an example to you in business, but also to teach you how to apply workable wellness strategies into your life to get much more results out of the time you spend on your business.

To be successful you need energy—and these simple tips will have a profound impact that you can begin applying as soon as you return home.

  1. I was very interested in hearing how Jerry and Sharon work with traditional businesses to set up Social Networking for them.
    I also enjoyed hearing how they combine health and wellness with helping businesses. As a passion of mine also, I fully understand how important health is to everything you do.
    It was great to hear what Jerry and Sharon will be bringing to the live event!

    Comment by Becky Joubert — December 28, 2009 @ 8:53 am

  2. Thanks Eric for introducing Jerry and Sharon to me.
    I am also in the wellness industry as a Dental Hygienist and Wellness Consultant. I have the desire to use my home based business in nutritional supplements as my vehicle to ease out of hygiene and into the health and wellness consulting business on line.
    I am more excited to be attending the live event in Portland in January!

If you can go to an event like this and pull out one thing, I’ve had people give me little
pointers and hints that literally made me an extra 50K in a year – in a ten second conversation.

  1. Awesome interview! Great job Eric for letting us all connect with Ty! Ty is an amazing leader and we can all learn a lot from him and his experiences in business online and offline, network and online marketing.

    I am excited to meet Ty in person for the first time at the live event and learn from his presentation.

    I totally agree with him that it’s one thing connecting with people online, and it’s a whole other experience meeting people in person. I was to a great event just a couple or three months ago and the rewards from it I can’t even begin to describe or amount to anything monetarily.

    Just one example of the many wonderful people I met there was that I connected with an amazing leader I had been following for years, Ellie Drake, who now is contributing a lot value to our Renegade Professional community and the Coaching Cognition course because of that connection I made with her. It’s priceless.

    I encourage anyone who hasn’t reserved their seat yet for our First Renegade Live Event to do so right away, until there are still spots available. Even, if you are participating in the contest you can continue doing so but buy your ticket so that you don’t lose your spot. (if you win you will get your money back)

    I am so looking forward to meeting everyone. It’s exciting.

    I am way up in northern Canada so attending the upcoming event won’t be possible for me at this time.

  3. Eric and Ty Thank You, Thank You.
    Ty I have heard a lot of good things about you. Your integrity in “the business” is a great example to all of us.
    I think I heard some things in this interview that I could make an extra 50K with :) Yes this will be an awesome event and a time a relationship building.
    Looking forward to it.

  4. Eric thanks for bringing this interview to the Renegade community’s attention. I’ve seen and heard Ty Tribbles name frequently throughout the network marketing industry but was not that familiar with him.

    I picked up some pointers just from this interview alone, so I can imagine what’s in store for us at the live event. I’m waiting with anticipation, see everyone next month.

    Comment by kevin thomas — December 22, 2009 @ 2:53 pm

  5. Eric: What a great idea to have the guest speakers give us a “teaser” to what we can expect at the live event. Ty, I can’t wait to meet you. I have a lot of questions. This will be a life changing event. So Eric, who is next on your list to interview?

    I agree that there is an element you gain from attending a live event that cannot be duplicated any other way. It completes your vision.
    I can’t wait to hear everything Ty will be sharing with the lucky attendees.
    Thanks Eric, for pulling this together.

  8. Eric and Ty, what a great way to let us know what we can look forward to at the Live Event. I can hardly wait to meet you and all the Renegade People. The Live Event will be everything that has been promised and more.

    Comment by Pam McKeen — December 29, 2009 @ 9:09 am

  9. I’m very excited for this event. I highly value Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler, the businesses they’ve built, and their knowledge. I can’t wait to hear from them and the people they’ve put together for this event.

    I’ve seen Ty all over the internet too and look forward to hearing more from him.

    Interesting that Ty mentions Ann’s people CALLING him. Mike K. also said that he CALLED Ann when he wanted to connect with her.

    I really appreciate Ty’s comments about perseverance and knowledge, too. (If I keep hearing it, maybe it will sink in.) :)

    I can’t wait to hear Ty’s tips for relationship building in network marketing.

    Eric, thanks for the great interview!

  11. Phone call from one of Ann Sieg’s inner circle. This person had the wisdom to reach out to Ty by phone. sent the physical item to him. This person stood out from the crowd by taking the extra effort to provide service and value.

    As a result, Ty became a strong and successful promoter of The Renegade Network Marketer and then Renegade Professional.

    Ty endorses bringing two great minds together to bring great value to the market Mike Klingler and Ann Sieg. Mike saw people in the community with a loss to know how to get the internet marketing done. Together he and Ann now have an incredible format for training.

    Thanks Eric, this interview does a solid job with validating Renegade Professional and all things related. I am so glad I am coming to the event.

  3. @Deborah Tutnauer,

    Sweet! So glad you’re coming. Just noticed that you posted to the Renegade Pro News Facebook forum for the contest. Great!

    We met a long long time ago, and you’ve been a great friend ever since. Will be nice to meet up in person. I know Katie feels the same.

  5. I had sadly given up on attending the conference this year due to some unforeseen circumstances that can financially cripple any family.

    This contest couldn’t have come at a better time. See you in Ren. Prof. Facebook

  6. Another great idea from Ann & Mike – They always give real value in what they do. Keeping this comment short as I am off to write my answer and post it.

    We’ll be looking. Can’t wait.

  12. You won’t believe this Eric, but Facebook just won’t let me in that page to tell my story. I’ve even had Deborah Tutnauer trying to help me. She had to make me a fan using my account. But when I try from my computer, the picture shows up quickly in the search window and then disappears to bring me right back to my home page.

    I’ll see what tomorrow brings but I’ve got a few more gray hairs to show for it. Heck. I may need to redo my color before this is over!

    Comment by Marie Leonard — December 21, 2009 @ 6:24 pm

  13. Hmm…I must be missing something. There seems to be a problem getting to the Renegade Professional News FB page. Each time I click on it, I get back to my home page, even after I searched for it.

  14. @Philip and Marie,

    Both of you having the same problem! Not sure what is going on…

    I will investigate. It could be temporary issue. Let it ride til tomorrow and check again.

    Thanks.

    Comment by ericwalker — December 21, 2009 @ 8:56 pm

  15. @Philip and Marie, I’ve investigated. I came up with nothing. I logged into 2 different Facebook accounts (thanks Mom; Thanks Katie) and everything worked out. I think giving it another try is best. If that still doesn’t work, I suggest sending me your contest essay via Facebook messaging, and I will post it for you – making sure it’s identified as yours. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Eric

    P.S. Philip – I noticed we weren’t friends on Facebook. Look for my friend request.

  16. Happy Holidays!

    What a novel way to get the non techies moving on to Facebook for social marketing.
    I too will try to get on and participate.
    Thanks for the nudge.

    See you all in Portland. I cannot make the filght for the afternoon to attend the Friday Meet and Greet so I will meet everyone Saturday morning.

    Comment by Heather Hansen — December 22, 2009 @ 10:20 am

  17. Eric, still having difficulties. Glad to see it’s not just me. In any case, I asked David Carroll and he posted in the Facebook page for me. Hope this gets resolved because I can’t even see what others are posting. Can’t check out the competition!

    Comment by Marie Leonard — December 22, 2009 @ 10:28 am

  18. @Marie Leonard,
    You’re all set. I saw that David C. posted for you. Looks good.

    Comment by ericwalker — December 22, 2009 @ 2:41 pm

  19. Thanks Eric. I will give it a shot to be a fan. Did I miss something again? The email says, “even if you live outside the US” – and that was today’s email (Dec 22nd)!

    Oh well, I’m disqualified… *sigh*

    Good luck to the lucky one…

  25. I have searched for the Renegade professional News page on Facebook and it seems to have disappeared. I have been on FB for some time, so I am familiar with searches, have followed the links provided, and they do not work. Has FB “lost” or blocked it?

    Comment by Mary Speller — December 28, 2009 @ 3:40 pm

  26. @Mary Speller,

    That’s weird. You’re not alone. There have been other reports of people having problems with this. I do not have an explanation. I’ve tried dozens of times on three different computers with three different user names, and all was fine.

    Let’s try a checklist. Have you done the following: (I know all this seems obvious. Just covering our bases here)

    1. logged into Facebook
    2. searched “Renegade Professional News” in top right search field at Facebook
    3. become a Fan of Renegade Professional News

    Try this link once more: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=105674278260&topic=13506

    Still not working? Email Eric@MarketingMerge.com with your contest submission and I will post it for you.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Comment by ericwalker — December 28, 2009 @ 4:23 pm

  27. Hi Eric, The problem occurs when I do the search as it does not come up, so I cannot join as a fan. I am definitely logged in. I tried your link and this does not work either.

    I will send my submission to you when I have got it perfect!

    Comment by Mary Speller — December 28, 2009 @ 7:25 pm

  28. @Mary Speller,

    ahh, bummer. Okay, DO send it to me.

    Comment by ericwalker — December 28, 2009 @ 10:43 pm

  29. Well, I just posted my entry on the Facebook page. I’ve already benefitted so much from my involvement with RPro and I would so love to be at this event. Good luck to all the participants!

  31. I too haven’t been able to post my contest submission to Facebook, I’ve been trying for about 20 minutes now to do it. I think it’s because I haven’t joined any Renegade Professional Facebook pages prior to this, but I don’t know. I’ve emailed my submssion to Eric, so Eric please post it on Facebook. Thanks!

What People Are Saying...

Hi Mike,
I just finished sending Scott Rogers an email letting him know how much I’m enjoying the tutorials. I told him that you’re in my office so often that I may start charging you rent :-)

I upgraded to Professional on Monday and followed the checklist. I even created my personal website. I have just completed the Squidoo 1-4 webinars. Absolutely everything was new for me.

Love the way you teach and how thorough you are. I’ve been able to apply everything you’ve taught on the first try. I’m following your advice about not expecting too much too soon but I gotta tell you, it feels great to have something out there. I’m planning to write my next article about the university. I figure that my enthusiasm will spill over on the pages.
