Maybe you’re a beginner with the internet. Doesn’t matter how old you are, we all must begin somewhere.
And if you’re not a beginner, when was the last time you actually walked two moons in a beginner’s moccasins?
So whether you are or you aren’t a beginner, follow along with me. We’re going to get back to some core fundamental understandings in this article that will benefit everyone.
If you’re new, I know this will help you.
If you’ve been around awhile, this is a vital reminder you don’t want to forget. The thing is…so many of you do forget, and that is why for many, your business continues to suffer.
So again, I urge you to read closely. Don’t skim. You’re going to want to read this entire article (especially the ending because aren’t endings supposed to be happy).
Okay, let’s get started shall we.
Now, it’s hard to deny that the internet is ripe with opportunity. That is stating the obvious.
Yet the dominating question remains because you’re asking yourself this right now, How do I use the internet to build my business? Or maybe you don’t even have a business yet, but you know you’d like to have one with all the advantages that an internet-based business offers.
Millions, literally, millions are asking this question.
You’re probably also asking Where is the most important place to start? and How can I get started if I’m on a shoe-string budget?
And contrary to what you may have seen or heard, you really don’t need a lot of money to get started. Not here anyway. Don’t worry, everyone is tech-challenged at first. We quickly lead you through that.
There is an answer to these questions. There is a solution to these problems. After all, that’s what this is really about. It’s what we call value.
For almost three years now, smart beginners (notice I didn’t say “newbie”) have created a free Renegade University profile.
We simply call it RU, and it’s where smart beginners walk through a simple three step process of click by click set-up-your-marketing-as-you-go training tutorials even if you’re tech-challenged, and no nothing about setting up a business on the web.
RU is a great primer to learn how to be seen as “attractive” using low or no cost methods such as blogging, internet marketing and social media.
The natural progression from RU is to upgrade as a Professional member so you can take you’re the marketing of your business to the next level.
It’s at Professional that we teach you many different marketing methods. You can choose your favorite one(s) to create a constant flow of leads, while attracting the best ones to your business.
And for thousands, this has worked. Seriously! Here are just a few Renegade Professional success stories. Take a moment to follow this link and see for yourself (but be sure to return to this article. I haven’t even started with the best part yet). LINK.
The Renegade Professional team would be remiss if we simply rested on our laurels. With the turn of 2010, we have set some lofty goals.
We want to help support and guide as many smart beginners as we can reach. And our reach extends pretty far. But we’ve decided to start in our own backyard with all RU students and Professionals.
We’re going to take you through the process – from zero to traffic; how to turn that traffic into leads for your business, with examples along the way.
This can be accomplished, as it has been accomplished by so many already, using the Renegade Professional training to market yourself to a targeted group that consists of people actively searching for the information you have.
We’re Starting a Series of Smart Beginner Training Webinars — Live Event Every Thursday
This initial webinar training series will be specifically tailored for current RU students and new Renegade Professionals. You’re considered “new” if you’ve been a Renegade Professional for 90 days or less.
But it’s also completely understandable if you’ve been a Renegade Professional for awhile, and for whatever reason or another haven’t put it all together to create an optimal online presence. This training is for you too.
And here’s a big perk for all you seasoned Renegade Professionals who have leadership skills or are established marketers in your own right. It makes a lot of sense for you to refer your new and existing referrals to these webinars. It’s a win-win if they get the much needed guidance and support while you get the residual affiliate commission.
We like win-win. That’s what we’re aiming for.
The Smart Beginner Training Webinar Series Will Be Broken Down into Chunks so You Can Start Going & Growing without Stress or Expense
The benefit of attending these webinars are several, but in particular, you’ll have a “leg up” on how to use the Renegade Professional training to win big with your internet based business.
Here is just an appetizer of all the things we’ll cover in these Smart Beginner Training webinars. Follow this link to get a full preview of some of the big topics we’ll be covering –> Support for Smart Beginners – Getting Support While Getting Started.
—>How to use Renegade Professional to build your business even if you don’t have one yet (but especially if you do).
—>The most important place to start, and how to customize your Renegade Professional training (along with tips about how to navigate around your back office).
—>The bare minimum you need to have set up so you can be up and running sooner than later. You’d be surprised at how many people actually DON’T take these steps. We’ll walk you through them.
—>We will eliminate the confusion about what you should be learning and in what order. Do you know how to eat a whale? First, identify the parts, and then take one bite at a time. We’ll show you the parts, and give you a fork.
—>We will demystify what you should be doing with social media marketing. You’ll understand HOW and WHAT to do once you create an article and publish it on the web. You will know what that is supposed to do for you.
Lastly, it’s a fact that most people don’t realize successful online marketers focus on building lasting relationships with their customers, rather than pushing their deal, and spamming their products and services.
You will benefit from the knowledge we share so you are doing the right things, not the wrong things.
Do This Next (Don’t Skip this Step)
Important How-To Information to Access the “Smart Beginner” Webinars
But first, I just have to say this because you must believe this to get started… Okay, ready? Read this last part closely (You’ve made it this far. Be sure to finish strong!).
No matter where you are in life, young or old, on the top, or on the bottom… Whether you are unemployed, or currently a professional, or a network marketer or running a non-profit, brick and mortar or small home business, you can do this.
You don’t have to be happy or unhappy with your life’s circumstances. The fact is that you can absolutely achieve your goals and dreams, and do it faster than you imagine.
There is no question that you will have to work for it. But I assure you (I am my own proof), that the biggest rewards demand your full participation. When you expect it to happen with a decided heart, it will.
The Renegade Professional Team will Support Your Journey Along the Way.

I am a photographer, and also the Office Manager for Express Employment Professionals. I would like to receive the training information that I could implement in both business’s.

@Kimberly Miner,
More and more, we’re seeing professionals, like yourself, use Renegade Professional to get started with their passions i.e. Photography.
Now that is what I call a Smart Beginner!
Kimberly, if you haven’t created a Renegade University account yet, do so. It’s free, and you’ll get a good introduction to what we call “attractive” marketing.
Here is the link – http://RenegadeUniversity.com
I’ll be looking for you on the webinar, and perhaps we can connect by way of phone about marketing your Photography business.
Remember that we are choosing TWO Smart Beginners and providing them with a Smart Beginner Marketing plan.

Hi, Eric: I’m looking forward to this training! Yes, I’m ready to be chosen to work with you! I have multiple ideas to somehow be “threaded” to each other:
1…A new network marketing business to include health, wellness and green-friendly-for-the-environment products to cover both retail sales and create a team of high-energy “business-builders”. This will be one of the foundations so I can eventually quit my day job to become a full-time business entrepreneur.
2…Real estate investments starting with pre-foreclosures (I will start training in March, so it’s long-term and will eventually become a future income-stream foundation.
3…To work as a nonprofit “Chaplain Kelley Care Center” (I received my credentials last October in 2009); to buy a 3-to-5-acre “mini-campus” with multiple dwellings/buildings within a serene environment to schedule safe meetings to help people in crisis, for recovery and restoration and using “therapy dogs” that will be raised within this environment to help minister to unhealthy people and also for search and rescue when needed.
Thank you for whatever help you can provide me so I can become a “Smart Beginner”…again!

Thanks Eric, I will be on the site everyother week as possible. My time for the coaching group is at the same time every other week. Glad to know that I can go into RPro to get what I have missed. I am one of the ones that have tried to get started and seem to be spinning my wheels. Need help.

I’m interested in the opportunity to be chosen for the SB Personalized Marketing plan. My hesitation in responding before now is if I’ll have the time to implement this, but I want to learn and succeed so very badly. Been with Pro for a year now and allowed myself to get overwhelmed, “stuck” on the niche thing, and never move forward. Attended our first LIVE event in Portland and want to take that energy and do something!
1. Yes, I have a business.
2. Classified both as service provider and network marketer, although current focus is on the network marketing side – signing more people into ‘my deal’.
3. My burning question is whether or not my niche is feasible or do I really have it focused enough? or maybe, what is it, if I’m not really there yet? I feel like once I figure that out, I can really soar with the training Pro provides, but really struggling with this “first step”.

Eric,
I am noting how Renegade Professional is taking steps now, that we are well established to make sure that we are “leaving no Renegade Behind” !
These webinars are very timely for the surge of new students.
This training is a great encouragement for alumni who are not willing to give up because they know the answers are within Renegade Professional. It takes fitting the pieces together for each participant.
I like that you are pointing out the first steps, making sure the foundation of the marketing funnel will be established well.
Kaitlin’s example in your second webnar creating her
online community around her passion,
Comment by Pat Campbell — February 28, 2010 @ 1:14 pm
oops, somehow hit the “submit” button too fast!
I was saying that Kaitlin’s online presence with http://bringbirthhome.com is a great example of what can happen by following the steps outlined in R. Pro for building your marketing funnel.
So, as alumni, I’ll be there. I want to be the best support I can be for my new students and learn as well.
Once again Renegade Professional stands above the crowd providing this kind of training and support.
