There were some great submissions for this contest…
While everyone couldn’t win the ‘free e-book cover contest,’ everyone who submitted did win by walking away with a product of their own that they can now develop further into their own marketing funnel.
And that’s outstanding!

How important is it to you to save money and time while cash-flowing YOUR dreams?
When you’re developing out your business you want to find the least expensive and fastest ways of getting the job done.
That’s what a membership at Renegade Professional is all about.
Just ask Jason Siebold who took advantage of Jerry Chen’s training at Renegade Professional on “Creating Your E-book.” Jason was going to create an e-book soon anyway and had been investigating different tools to do it. When he went through the “E-book Creation” course, he got an extra surprise benefit he wasn’t expecting. Not only was he able to create his e-book faster with the help of the training, he saved $550 by learning of free tools he hadn’t been aware of that were actually better to get the job done!
That’s what a membership at Renegade Professional is all about. Thank you Jason for sharing this video with us on your own accord!
Listen to Jason share his experience and visit his landing page for marketing of the e-book he created!
Partners in success!

How Mike Klingler’s 16 Hour Days Has a Positive Effect on You
Mike Klingler has been deep into creating new content that will have a big impact on the Renegade Professional community. He’s been testing new strategies that can create a Seven Figure Buzz. Now he’s preparing his content to teach these things to you.
In preparing this content, naturally, he visited the Social Marketing section in the back office of Renegade Professional. And when he did that, he made the decision to get started with HubPages first. He recommends you do the same.

Important Information About Squidoo You Need to Know
What we found is that Squidoo has undergone strict changes. We’ll update you on those changes in future training. For now, it’s recommended that you skip the Squidoo tutorials and go to what is now the hottest place to start with Social Media content sharing (Hub Pages).
Again, the Squidoo trainings will be updated soon. For now, we’d like to open up a bit of a discussion about something found in the Squidoo Terms and Conditions.
Read the excerpt below, and when you’re finished, read our conversation starter so you can leave a comment with your thoughts.
From Squidoo’s Terms and Conditions:
“The end of spambait: Some topics are just irresistible to spammers. These are topics that don’t generally exist in the real world, that aren’t particularly useful, and that are very profitable to people who spam.
So, here’s where we draw the line between junk and spam. There are topics we’re just not going to let people write about. We wish we didn’t have to do that, but it’s the best plan available to remove the bad actors that want to take advantage, while keeping the site open for passionate people of all stripes.
So the deal is: you can’t build any content in these areas on Squidoo. If you are interested in these areas, it’s entirely possible you will bump into our filter (we call it the SquidDon’t filter), and if you do, we hope you’ll just walk away, not try to be clever and get around it.
Hey, there must be other things you’re passionate about in this world. Why not make a lens on that, and leave the online texasholdem4u pages out. Even better, we hope that 99% of you won’t even know it’s there.”

Important Renegade Professional Updates
Watch the short video below. In this video, I will show you the following:
- Find the new Smart Beginner icon from main menu of Renegade Professional
- Regularly check Archive icon at News (for example notice Didi Alcheva’s new training)
- New content at the Coaching Cognition category of the News
Don’t forget about 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)? Continue reading to learn more…

I have a question for you. Tell me if you agree. Your content needs to …
- Attract attention and make people aware of who you are and what you do. Yes or No?
- Transform that attention into income or some other measurable benefit (like more leads). Yes or No?
If you answered Yes to each, then let’s sum this up. 
The content that you create in the form of articles, blog posts, videos, podcasts, emails, etc. should attract attention to YOU (or your business, or your products).
It should also make people aware of who you are and what you do. It’s this content that is supposed to transform that attention into income or some other benefit that can be measured.
Wow! To me that sounds a lot like advertising.
Value-based content has become the new advertising.
Great content does ONE thing tremendously well. It naturally demonstrates that you’re knowledgeable about your field of expertise.
At our Thursday, March 25th 6pm PT Smart Beginner webinar, we’ll focus on a two tiered three step approach to strategic content development. Register for this Thursday’s webinar by following this link.
Be sure to do it now to be sure you reserve a seat.
I have good news or bad news. It depends how you interpret this statement. Ready? Here goes:
Content’s value has never been lower, but content’s
importance has never been higher.
This Thursday I will introduce a strategic content development strategy that consists of a two tiered three step process.
In the first tier you will learn pre-content development strategies. They include:
- How to Gather Information
- An Approach to Idea Development
- The Necessary Process of Action
Once you have accomplished the first tier, we’ll focus on the second three step process that focuses more on the actual ingredients of stellar content:
- How to give your readers a treat
- How to be someone worth doing business with
- How to sell smart
If you need help with content creation, and fast, this webinar is for you. If your site isn’t getting enough traffic or you aren’t converting that traffic to leads or sales, this webinar is for you. Basically, if the tactics you use to create effective content aren’t working, you will want to attend this webinar.
Register for The 6 Step Process to Strategic Content Development webinar now.

Did you join Renegade Pro because of the training?
Did you read Ann Sieg’s books and then look for step-by-step help in implementing what you learned from her?
Did you read Magnetic Sponsoring, but then decided you wanted to participate in the kind of training available at the Renegade Professional?
If so, you aren’t alone. That’s what brought me to the site months ago, and many others have joined for the same reason.
In the beginning, when I understood that the site was primarily about the training tutorials, I had the crazy idea of just staying long enough (maybe 3-4 months) to study as many tutorials as possible, and then quit the site. But life interfered and I also wandered about the net buying other training products, and … fortunately I didn’t quit.
Actually, I still haven’t finished the tutorials, but along the way I discovered something.
The Renegade Professional is a lot more than the training. It’s also a Community.
To be honest, the “community” was largely invisible to me for many months. I knew there were Super Guides; it took me a while to grasp that the Super Guides
- Are not just about the wonderful one-to-one help they give to many people.
- Are not just about the training videos that they created and added to those of founder Mike Klingler’s.
- Are not just about the articles they wrote and the manner in which they helped to draw in more members.
What I had not realized is that when Mike encouraged these early participants to get involved and contribute, they began to interact with one another.
Though they represented many different backgrounds (and MLM companies!) they began to see opportunities to grow relationships. And so the RenPro Community gave birth.
Here’s an example of what happened from there:
Six women, brought together by a common bond collaborated on a webinar and e-book. This helped to bring new people to the Renegade. Shortly thereafter, Barbara Silva began the pilot version of Coaching Cognition, as a result of the coaching classes and coaching one another, were drawn even closer. The Community expanded and deepened.
We know that the site has evolved and will continue to do so.
But the aspect of community has taken a life of its own!
During my first eight months in The Renegade Professional, I was like the Prodigal Trainee. I jumped about looking for the “real thing.” I didn’t have a lot of knowledge or experience so I was easily distracted by the great squeeze pages and allure of other internet marketing gurus. (Mike warns against this in several videos, but I let it roll off me without grasping it. Because of this, I was not one of the early Super Guides.)
I was busy reading and researching and comparing the gurus. Who was more experienced and successful? Who was less expensive? Who offered more bonuses? Who had a personality more pleasing to me?
During those first eight months I bought memberships and materials from at least five other internet marketing leaders. I have met people who have bought from far more people than that!
Here are two key things that I didn’t fully grasp at the beginning:
- The Renegade Professional provides training on everything that can be learned from the sites of the other gurus. What I know now is that:
- I wasted time and money wandering about. Unfortunately, this is an all too common regret of beginners.
- If you stick with RenPro systematically, the other sites are superfluous. RenPro training is thoroughly customizable and thoroughly applicable to every skill level, certainly to the edge of the “somewhat Seasoned Smart Professional level.”
It’s easy to be lured by the thought:
“But the other gurus provide so much good information!”
That’s true, but what they teach, that is applicable to smart beginners and to early smart professionals is available in the RenPro training tutorials.
Only The Renegade Professional Provides and Promotes Community.
The RenPro site is totally unique.
Think about it.
Other “gurus” provide internet marketing training sites, yet with no way for members to even know who the other students are. Does that sound like community?
I won’t name these sites, well-respected though they are, but face it, there is no opportunity to contribute or engage at any level; the value is solely about the training provided by the “guru.”
These are knowledgeable marketing individuals who do not want to give away their pedestal. Their name, face, and words predominate every corner of the site. There is no opportunity to contribute; they don’t want “competition” on their own site.
So how does the Renegade Professional site promote community?
Please watch my video. It only takes 5 minutes and, I respectfully suggest, you need to understand this.

What People Are Saying...
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 Renegade Professional, 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.Rana Burr
