Tips for Newbies to Attraction Marketing and The Renegade University.
The education offered at The Renegade University could be classified as an equivalent to a 4 year bachelor’s degree. There’s a lot of information there. You can’t possibly undertake and grasp everything in a short period of time.
There are classes in Renegade University with homework assignments. Failure to do them will render the class void for you. It’s not that anyone’s receiving grades or achievement marks, but you will be cheating yourself. You simply won’t “get it”. So be committed to your education and following through with the homework assignments and then implement the marketing strategy you learned.
Let’s get started with some basic guidelines and recommendations:
For Beginners:
1) Get oriented and familiarize yourself with the campus and courses offered. All classes offered are complimentary with membership.
2) Start at the beginning. Don’t put pressure on yourself to learn it all at one time. You’ll go crazy and burn out. This can be such a rewarding and fun time for you as you discover the skillsets it takes to create multiple streams of income and build a profitable online business.
3) Be willing to take your coach’s recommendations to get oriented without getting distracted. Whenever you invest in something, see it though. The Renegade University is such an investment, even though it’s barely a cup of coffee a day, please treat it as though it’s much more. The value is worth every bit a college education.
4) Do not be overwhelmed. There is a lot of information here. Even though it’s click by click video instruction, there’s a lot of things to absorb. It looks like a lot of work and guess what, it is. Success takes work. Be part of the 2% who roll up their sleeves and learn this stuff while the rest of them sit in front of the TV because they’re tired after working the 9-5 all day. It’s been said that if you will do what most people will never do, you will have what most people will never have.
5) Allow yourself time to go through an orientation phase. How long does it take to get through this? Only you can decide. How much time is it in between logging back into the campus and continuing to learn? Every 3 weeks? Every day? You decide how long this orientation takes. If you’ve been away from campus awhile, you may need to start over and get oriented again.
Results can come anywhere between 2 weeks to 3 months. So, basically, the length of time it takes for you to get through your orientation really is dependent upon your schedule and experience in business.
If you can see these courses through, you WILL learn. If you will take your coaches’ recommendations, they can win your trust because you will see how much you’ll grow. Allow us to hold your attention long enough to get through a through a true ‘to do’ list that will help you succeed.
Blanket Recommendation to Brand New People
1) “Start Here Checklist”: Look over the links at the top of the Marketing Tutorials page – there are several links for people without any computer knowledge. This has been tremendous help for the individual who basically knows how to turn their computer on. There’s basic training there.
2) Go to the Attraction Marketing section and create 1 Squidoo and 1 Ezine article (You’re just familiarizing yourself with the process at this stage). Don’t worry about how good your content is. The purpose iere is just in learning how to implement. You are in the orientation stage and getting comfortable with learning and implementing.
3) Take the ‘Writing With Pull’ class but only if you feel you need it right at this point. Some individuals are very good writers coming into the business. For others, writing is a struggle. Therefore, take an honest evaluation of your writing abilities in terms of what to write about, who your target market is, your keyword research and see if you need assistance or whether you can skip this class for the time being.
Why does Mike Klinger, founder of Renegade University, recommend the above actions first? Because now you can create links. Once you have some content out there, you are in a position to create links from one piece to the other. You can now learn the fundamentals that gets your content to come up on search engines to generate leads.
4) Now onto the SEO Training Areas (See 2nd big red button on social marketing page, and all the stuff under misc. column)
5) If you are excited or eager for video, jump in here. It’s highly recommended. Be sure to take the class entitled Attractive vs. Unattractive Content (in misc. section on campus)
6) Now create a lot of content (first watch ‘Writing With Pull’ if you haven’t already, even if you think you are a good writer).
7) Review articles related to “leveraging the news in your industry” at the blog, create Hubpages, Squidoo Lenses and articles. Keep on it. 1 year, 2 years, 3 years down the raod, you will be so leveraged, you will own the industry as it unfolds.
Position yourself to dominate. People are out there getting the information, buying tools resources and programs, but 95% won’t follow through and implement.
8) If you haven’t already done so, start a blog. It doesn’t hurt to start a blog before this time if inspired to do so.
9) Now on to marketing tutorials in the social marketing area. See what you’ve missed. Fill in with classes you haven’t taken and implement.
Again, this may seem like a lot, but it’s well worth the education. With the economy loosing jobs every day, the trend is going to continue for a long time.
If You’re Not New But Seek Clarity and Direction
1) I still recommend the ‘Start Here Checklist’ and strolling the Renegade Professional campus.
2) I still recommend you build a “web of content”, so look over the previous recommendation list and see what you’re not familiar with to make sure those components are in place.
3) Do you want to spend money to leverage time?
a) Learn about Ezine Solo Ads
b) Pay Per Click
c) Advertising on other sites
d) Outsourcing
4) Are you building a downline right now? Watch these tutorials.
a) How to Work With Your Prospects. (click on attraction marketing, then marketing tutorials, top of page)
b) Attraction Prospecting on the Phone (marketing tutorials)
5) If you need help with content ideas or more confidence writing, again, the ‘Writing With Pull’
class is a must do.
Tip: Find out from this huge buffet of marketing strategies, what it is that you like to do.
Do you get excited about the idea of video marketing? Then become video king and put out massive amounts of videos, using the right techniques you’ve learned on how to do that. Even if you’re not excited about video, it’s recommended you do it. Video marketing is huge.
Do you love to write? Start a blog if you haven’t already. Submit articles like crazy. Get massive amounts of content out there. Put up Squidoo lenses, hubpages, etc. Put your love for writing to work that will generate cash and leads for you.
Bottom line is to find what you enjoy doing in terms of marketing and become really good at it. They all work. Then follow through and build a web of content. Whether you focus on video or writing, you need some content to create links from one piece of content to the other to build your web. You should study the SEO classes.
Do you love to socialize and network? Then go to Social Sites:
Twitter
Facebook
MySpace
These are the top 3 but certainly there are more than I count out there.
To help you with this, Take the “Building Relationships Through Comments” class by Barbara Silva
(Content Sharing Section)
If you prefer to only network with those who are qualified . . . you don’t particularly enjoy ‘networking’ with people (used to be me) . . . then learn that last. Focus on creating your web content and building a lead capture page and on setting up building your email list first. Then go to the social networking suggestion above last (because you still must know it).
Would you enjoy interviewing people such as authors, industry leaders, big names, new names, uplines in your company, people who apply attraction marketing in product niches? This is great value to offer IF you’d enjoy doing it. If so, see the Podcast tutorial.
Know what you like to do and get good at it. Don’t let any exciting sales page coming into your email box get you off course. There are thousands of ways to be successful. There IS NO one size fits all. People are failing because they are being put in a box and told how to marketing. Do what you enjoy and don’t let what someone else thinks you should do.
IF YOU WANT TO BE A COACH, GET ORIENTED ENOUGH TO BE A RENEGADE UNIVERSITY GUIDE FOR OTHERS.
I would offer 20 minute free consultations and then either:
1) Charge $25-$300 per hour to guide them through professional
2) Let them know if they upgrade into my company I will offer this training either free or as my organization grew, I’d charge a discounted rate for one-on-one guidance.
3) I would create content (like a training video) and provide in the back office for branding purposes.
4) Leverage the Professional area to give prospects, downline and associates a one -stop shop to get plugged into online attraction marketing for any business.
Always know what phase you’re in in your development and progress.
Are you at the orientation stage?
At a point of specialization, such as blogging, ppc, seo, etc.
At a point to learn something new?
Prepare yourself to see tons of great offers and new tools. Know when to say no and know when to say yes depending on where you’re at in the your process right now, always know where you’re at and choose your next action steps accordingly.
Focus will dictate your result more than anything else. Get as far as you can go with something, then move on. For example, if you’re blogging and you’ve gone as far as you can go, now learn to drive traffic to it. Take the SEO class.
Be mindful of your business hours, fill in your calendar, have control of your business development process. If you follow through on these recommendations, you will become a master at your favorite marketing methods. Its fun to make money doing something you love.
