Win Free Custom-Designed Graphics for Your eBook – Announcing the Renegade Professional eBook Contest

So when people ask what you do, what do you say? “I am a network marketing distributor?” “I’m an independent marketer?” “I’m a teacher?” etc.

How about “I wrote a book called ‘The Top 7 Secrets You Must Know Right Now To Live Your Dream Life?’ or something more creative, but you get the point.

What am I talking about?

I’m talking about writing a simple eBook or report that will help you gain instant credibility.

It’s nothing “new” to most of us who have been at internet marketing and blogging for awhile, but I think it’s safe to say that 95% of us have never even TRIED to write an ebook.

But it’s definitely something to consider!

You see, when you are an author, people tend to automatically put you at an elevated position.

This can give you tremendous leverage to attract more qualified prospects.

So what will make your ebook stand out or flop (besides practice)?

Here are a Few Tips for Writing your eBook that
You Will Find Meaningful and Helpful

–Your ebook should address the problems, concerns, or desires of your well-defined target market. You should be doing this anyway if you’re going to market online, especially when creating a blog. If you’re vague, or fluffy your ebook won’t work.

–Your ebook should be an extension of the relationship you’ve already created with your audience, or if you haven’t created a meaningful relationship with an audience yet, that’s okay, use your ebook to do so. This exercise alone will get you crystal clear on who you want to attract, and what you want to say to them when you do.

–If you’re planning on selling your ebook, be sure that the cost of the content will provide an exceptional return on investment for buyers. Like at least 10 times the amount. Have example proof of this. If you’re giving it away for free, the same is true!

“But I Have No Idea How to Write an Ebook!” (eek)

Don’t worry, Renegade Professional has you covered.

Jerry Chen, a Renegade Professional trainer, has created a video series that is located in your Renegade Professional back office.

If you’re already a Renegade Professional, log into your backoffice to find these 4 video tutorials that Jerry has created. Then you can easily click the links I’ve provided below for quick access:

Mind Map Your Way to Accelerated Profits

Create Your Professional Looking PDF

Create Your Professional Looking eBook

Or when you login to your back office and from the main menu, click the icon that says Trainers. You’ll come to a new page. Scroll down to find Jerry Chen.

Here’s is what Cindy Murphy, a Renegade Professional
had to say about Jerry’s eBook tutorials—

This is a perfect example of a video testimonial that you would submit to win the free custom-designed graphics after you have gone through Jerry’s training in your Renegade Professional back office.

Jason Siebold writes, If you’ve ever wanted to start an internet marketing business but didn’t know where to go to learn how to market online, the Renegade Professional community is for you. Renegade Professional is a community of internet/network marketers dedicated to the sole purpose of education and support. The Renegade Pro community has the ability to take a beginner and turn them into an educated, successful entrepreneur through hundreds of hours of step by step video instruction, webinars and live events.

Renegade Professional & Jerry Chen Are Holding an Ebook Contest

Okay, truth moment… Are you ready because this is scandalous?

We are on a mission to help people create their own products.

There, I said it, and now the cat is out of the bag. But it’s true (and not so scandalous). Renegade Professional would like to support you in creating your own products, and we’re starting with a simple ebook (because we have all the necessary training).

We see this as our responsibility to help you develop yourself to the next level. It also reflects the direction that we’re moving as a company in this Era of the Entrepreneur.

The fact is that every part of your eBook can be a sales and credibility tool. We want you to be successful, and we have the training in our back office.

Now, read the guidelines below to enter the contest.

Oh wait! Every contest must have a prize. In case you’re not sure who Jerry Chen is, he’s the creator of Build a Magnetic Network. He’s super connected to very important and successful people. He has a “custom-designed graphics guy” and the winner of this contest will get free custom-designed graphics for their eBook.

eBook Contest Guidelines & Criteria

1) You must be an upgraded member of Renegade Professional.

2) Send an e-mail to ebookcontest@marketingmerge.com so we can collect contestant information. The contest starts immediately. You have until April 1st, 2010 to submit your work. We will not accept anymore contestants after April 1st.

3) The ebook’s table of content needs to have at least 6 chapters. Steps on how to do this is in the tutorial video #1.

4) An actual mind-map created from Bubbl.us. Send us the screen capture of the minmap. Steps on how to do this is in the tutorial video #2

5) Have Open-office downloaded and set up. Steps on how to do this is in the tutorial #3

6) Have a PDF ebook compiled (doesn’t need to be finished). Steps on how to do this is in the tutorial #4.

7) eBook needs to be at least 50% written (by chapters). So if you have 10 chapters planned out, you need to have five of the chapters written.

8) Video testimonial uploaded to your own Youtube account with the headline, “Renegade Professional eBook Contest with Jerry Chen” and a link back to this page.

9) Once this criteria is met, Jerry and Eric will work together in a timely fashion to select the eBook winner. (Hint – the narrower the niche, the better the eBook).

Put You in the “Business Equation” – Create Your Own eBook

Still feel like you haven’t put it all together? Wondering what you’re missing?

Often times it’s You! That’s one of the reasons why we’re holding this contest, to encourage you to utilize Jerry Chen’s Four Part Training inside Renegade Professional to create your own eBook.

In essence, we’re urging you to put “you” into your business equation! This is our next step at Renegade Professional, and that is to facilitate, lead, guide and support you in the process of creating your own products (free products and products that you charge for).

Wondering what the creation of your own eBook has to do with you and your business?

Because this is how you create attraction. Plain and simple.

And you either create your own information product (like an eBook) to generate more leads, or to make more money, often both (and the two certainly go together).

Jerry’s excellent video ran through several examples of successful internet business people. Creating your own products (putting YOU into the equation) is how business works.

By far, taking the necessary steps that Jerry provides in his four part training series at Renegade Professional to experience the process of creating your own product will be one of the most essential steps in your business.

Smart beginners can do this. Anyone and everyone can take part in this training to create their own eBook.

Awesome. More exciting news from the News Pros.

Cindy, you are being a great example for the rest of the pack

This is a fantastic bonus for anyone who’s willing to take a step forward and maximize the benefit of something they already paid for (i.e. Renegade Pro membership)!

Comment by Jerry Chen — March 3, 2010 @ 8:00 pm
I’m really excited how this has come together.

One of the biggest missing ‘holes’ in people’s unfulfilled dream boards is they don’t have a product of their own to lead with.

I have spent some time recently on facebook and hubpages discussing this and plan to follow it up with training in the back office, but Jerry you beat me to it! This is a great contribution to help people start filling that missing piece.

And Cindy, what a great example for others who share after getting a benefit from a product. You took it to a whole new level and educated while you did so! Wow. Pillar examples.

Can’t wait to see this reach the community. Put it on my fan page, profile page, twittered it… got an email planned for 60,000+ this week!

Moving the industry forward one important step at a time.

What a great step this is. On behalf of the entire community, thank you!
Mike

Comment by Mike Klingler — March 3, 2010 @ 10:29 pm
@Mike Klingler,

I concur about Cindy leading the way as a great example.

You referenced your activity at HubPages, and I want to link to that so others can read a “Grand-Opus” in the making. I encourage everyone to read it and leave a comment (I did): http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Marketing-Equation-See-It-Solve-It-Simple

And if you’re rather new, or what we call a “Smart Beginner” create your HubPages profile, and get started then come back here and share what you’ve created.

I love HubPages. One of my favorite platforms to create value. Definitely part of the Power 5 you’ve begun to speak of.

Short comment…

The video is a great introduction and challenge relative to the contest and to the ongoing process we must pursue as internet marketers: i.e. the pursuit of excellence…

Step by step,
Learning and growing,
And continually advancing in our efforts.

I will look forward to the dates and to the related emails, information, etc.

Thanks again,

Lee

@Lee Wise,

And you’re a great example, Lee.

Thank you to everyone and I really do love this community. Now, If I could just get my next video “About Cindy” up on youtube, I will be happy. It took an hour to upload and then I clicked off the wrong tab, which was the Youtube upload and now I have to start all over again. Good thing there are 24 hours in a day.

I am so excited about my next venture too. Just set up my new Fan Page and have uploaded some more short videos for my Heritage Maker’s business too.

2 new blogs, fan page, ebook in the works and a great community. Life is grand.

Have a wonderful day,

Cindy

Comment by Cindy Murphy — March 4, 2010 @ 3:24 pm
@Eric Walker,

Well I certainly do thank you for that kind compliment, Eric. Encouraging as ever!

Lee

Comment by Lee Wise — March 4, 2010 @ 6:19 pm
Jerry,

Just a short note to thank you for your videos. I just completed watching the ones on creating ebooks.

Thanks for your effort to make them user friendly!

Enjoy what is left of the week,

Lee

Comment by Lee Wise — March 4, 2010 @ 6:23 pm
As someone who recently produced an ebook, I have to say that Jerry’s tutorials were very helpful. I won’t enter the contest because I already had a graphic artist produce an ebook cover for me (so I want someone else to have the chance to win that), but I want to encourage everyone to get on the ebook bandwagon. Its a tremendous way to build your credibility and your list, and if you make it a paid product, build your income.

Comment by Cindy Schulson — March 4, 2010 @ 8:01 pm
You’re inspiring me! Thanks.

Comment by Marguerite — March 4, 2010 @ 10:13 pm
Who is going to enter the contest? Sound off 1,2 Sound off 3,4. Or maybe we keep it a secret?
Better yet who has joined the ranks of “action takers” since the Live Renegade Professional Event?

Comment by Ed Hyslip — March 5, 2010 @ 8:24 am
Another great challenge to face! How great. I’m in there like gum on shoe. A professional book cover is a wonderful prize.

Comment by Marie Leonard — March 5, 2010 @ 8:41 am
Hey guys – if you’ve never created an eBook of your own, watch this short video I posted on YouTube > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rteg3SJgWnY

Comment by Jerry Chen — March 5, 2010 @ 11:40 am
I think this is a great idea and am looking forward to it.
I think it is so important to create your own brand and writing an ebook is one way to do it.

Well done guys!

Comment by Deb Marsden — March 5, 2010 @ 6:00 pm
@Jerry, I won’t be left behind on this one. I went yesterday for a photo shoot, have some titles and subtitles drafted.

Loved @Cindy’s video, and this w/e am going thru your videos which I know I am going to soak up like a dry thirsty sponge.

It’s great to be challenged!

Mike asked me a couple of years ago about creating an Ebook and it seemed daunting to me.

At the Live Event, I announced that intent, and now more steps are made towards the reality of the book.

Thanks to all of you for your encouragements.

Comment by Pat Campbell — March 5, 2010 @ 7:03 pm
I feel that a new group of leaders has emerged!

No, I’m not crying I have something in my eye

Comment by Mike Klingler — March 5, 2010 @ 10:30 pm
Wow – this is a great idea. I have frequently thought of creating an e-book, but just felt hesitant in doing so. Now you have given everyone a good incentive to take action and JUST DO IT! Thanks

Comment by David Enders, D.C. — March 6, 2010 @ 8:23 am
@David Enders,

Then I am counting you in Dr. David

I had the intention and set the goal. Now this encourages me to take my mind map and turn it into an e-book. Thanks for the encouragement and the push!

Comment by Kate Williams — March 6, 2010 @ 4:42 pm
Nice! What a great incentive! The ideas are flowing already!

Comment by Diana — March 6, 2010 @ 7:40 pm
This is a fantastic challenge and just what I needed to really consider that I can in fact create an e-book. I’m very excited to get started with the trainings (especially since right now I’m fairly clueless about the whole thing). I hope I have enough material to write about!

Hi,

This is definitely an encouraging challenge.

Is there a special email set up yet where we receive notifications or anything of that sort?

Got the videos listened to.

April 1st! (Just caught that, lol!)

Thank you again for the challenge and inspiration,

Lee

Comment by Lee Wise — March 9, 2010 @ 6:25 am
Just a short note…

It turned out today that I am using that Mind Mapping resource like crazy today. I have used one other resource before, but I am finding this to be easier for me and it allows captures the “idea flow” quicker for me than what I have used previously.

Now all I have to do is write that book, lol!

So, thanks for the resource. Super.

Lee

Comment by Lee Wise — March 9, 2010 @ 8:20 pm
Eric,

How flexible are you on the downloading of Home-Office? I don’t think I need to do that.

Thanks,

Lee

Comment by Lee Wise — March 10, 2010 @ 7:51 am
P.S. “I don’t I need to do that.” Just caught how that sounds, lol.

NOT meaning, “I don’t agree with it”. I was just thinking that with my system I may not need that resource to produce the basis for the ebook.

I had better write that ebook to improve on quick comments that I share,

Enjoy the day,

Lee

Comment by Lee Wise — March 11, 2010 @ 5:28 am
I was thinking about writing an ebook a few weeks ago for my niche on my other blog for the self employed tradesmen on why marketing online can increase your customers and sales. As i am a tradesmen myself as my day job. So i think it is a good incentive to start.
I have been through your tutorials and they are great.
But i am not sure how to put the ebook into a graphic image and how to make it a link to download from my site and if offering the book as a payment how to incorporate.
Otherwise writing the content and using the open office i can do.

Comment by martin leyton — March 11, 2010 @ 10:39 pm
Great idea i have a thought on a book now for my niche on my other blog site

Comment by martin leyton — March 12, 2010 @ 6:08 am
Hi,

I’m excited about this eBook contest. I’ve been in the process of redeveloping myself and my business. I’ve shifted my focus and I feel like the tools that Jerry Chen is providing with his videos, as well as the awesome webinar from Eric Walker last night, will assist me with moving forward to completing my blog and writing my very first eBook. You will definitely be seeing me around. Thank you.

Comment by Crystal (from Chicago) — March 12, 2010 @ 12:49 pm
Great video Jerry! Thanks for this amazing opportunity Mike, Eric and Renegade Professional Community!

I spoke with Jerry about the possibility of me joining this e-Book contest and after contemplating the idea, I am closer to making a decision of joining the contest!

Yes, I already have a book published and co-authored a book with Mari Smith and 18 other authors from all over the world, but I want to join this contest, not necessarily for the free book design (as I too have my own outsourced graphic artist) but I’ll be doing this for this very simple reason: ACCOUNTABILITY.

As a Mentor, Consultant and Coach, I consider myself an “Accountability Coach”. From experience, I have seen many of my clients move forward simply by making them ACCOUNTABLE. Funny at times, it’s even more powerful than “Desperation and Inspiration”…

I will be making my decision about the contest today because part of accountability also means not biting off more than one can chew

Happy week Everyone!

Emma

Comment by Emma Tiebens — March 15, 2010 @ 4:49 am
Hey Guys – I am going to write a ebook/report along with all of you. I figure the best way to teach is by being in the trenches working along side you.

15 more days to go. Keep up!

(more videos coming)

Comment by Jerry Chen — March 16, 2010 @ 1:53 am
okay, there is a week left, and I have just sent my email notice in as a confirmation of the baby steps in moving forward.

Every action taken moves me closer to a finished product.

Hello,

Several questions:

Does anyone know if this email address is working at the present time? ebookcontest@marketingmerge.com

By any chance, have there been an updates relative to any guidelines for the You Tube video testimony?

My chapters are completed (first round) and working on intro and material of that nature. The bubbl.us has been super.

Obviously, I am “in!”

Thanks much,

Lee
