SendOutCards: Great Tool To Send Out Cards and Build Business Relationships

If you are not familiar with SendOutCards, it is a fantastic tool to make it easy to keep connected with your customers, associates, potential business associates or potential customers. Emails can over get overlooked or not even make it past the spam filters, even though you are contacting someone who requested information from you. Because people lead such busy lives, you may end up playing “phone tag” and not reach people. As sales guru, Danielle Kennedy says,

“In today’s age of electronic communication, a thank you note, with a stamp, gets more attention than ever” - Danielle Kennedy

What is unique about SendOutCards, is that you can create a personalized card, in your own handwriting, with your own signature, in about a minute or two on your computer. You click the “send” button and SendOutCards prints it, addresses it, stamps it and mails it out for you for less than the cost of a card you would by at the store.

You can also create direct mail campaigns, by creating a personalized card and mailing it out to the groups of people you specify, again with just a click of the mouse.

This Monday, we conducted a webinar on this topic:

Using Card Campaigns to Build Value & Keep Connected with Your Customers, Prospects or Associates

We showed how easy it is to create a series of personalized cards that get mailed out automatically at the times you have chosen. We discussed how to use SendOutCards effectively to create personalized cards that get attention, provide value, and bring people back to you. We also shared ideas on how to keep your customers, gain more referrals, increase your business, and improve relationships - both business and personal using the SendOutCards system.

Hightlight of some of the ideas discusss on this webinar:

• A Balanced Approach To Marketing



• Putting A Face To The Name



• Are You Standing Out from the Crowd?



• Keeping Connected with Customers All Year Long!



• Creating Groups & Importing Contacts Easily

The Renegade Network Marketer Training: Renegade University

If you have either purchased The Renegade Network Marketer Ebook or are considering doing so, I highly recommend joining the Renegade University free membership. All you need to do is sign in with your first name and email address and you can access a lot of free videos which walk you through the principles of attraction marketing, setting up the Renegade system, and starting with some of the free marketing methods discussed in The Renegade Network Marketer.

If you have not purchased The Renegade Network Marketer Ebook yet, this gives you a free inside "peak" into the principles so you can decide if it is what you are looking for. If you have already purchased the Ebook, Renegade University is a great time-saving in getting you started utilizing the marketing strategies within the Renegade marketing system.

For anyone not familar with the Renegade Network Marketer Ebook, it is not just a book, it is an entire marketing system. Ann Sieg has really shaken up the network marketing world with the launch of her ebooks, The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing, The Renegade Network Marketer, and this System in June 2007.

She has expose the ineffective, outdated marketing methods so often promoted and passed on to new network marketing reps, and provides a solution that allows marketers to generate their own quality prospects, while bringing in a passive income to fuel your marketing budget. This system really promotes and teaches how to be a truly independent marketer, and that is one of the reasons the system has caused a stir within the industry.

For a one time purchase of only $67, , you not only get this fantastic ebook, but you can register at no additional cost as an affiliate and have lifetime access to a panora of marketing resources and affilate programs to fund your marketing for your primary network marketing business. 60% of that $67 is actually paid back to Renegade affiliates, so the value is excellent.

Although targeted to network marketers, this system actually teaches you how to market ANY business. Once you get the concepts explained in the book and affiliate resources site, you could apply it to ANY business.

The Renegade University was developed by a Renegade affiliate, Mike Klingler, who saw the value of the Ebook and system, but put together some basic training to help new people utilize the system more quickly. Because of the wealth of resources and professional marketing strategies within the Renegade, new people without much computer experience could be a little overwhelmed, so Mike walks the new person through the system step-by-step with his videos in Renegade University.

I knew Mike was working on putting this resource together the later part of 2007, but when one of my downline leaders told me Renegade University was really helping new people get started with the Renegade Network Marketer system, I decided to check it out myself. I have been impressed by Mike Klingler's skill in breaking things down into simple terms and walking even the techology-challenged through the Renegade sytem, yet still getting to the "meat" of marketing principles.

Mike's success is using the Renegade Network Marketer system is not only shows that attraction marketing works, but is also a good reason to tap into the Renegade University. Read one of his HubPages, The Renegade Network Marketer: How to Attract MORE Prospects with Ann Sieg's Renegade Network Marketer E-book , to see how he's earned over $10,000 with The Renegade Network Marketer e-book, while ATTRACTING hundreds of high-quality prospects into his 'business network' at the same time

Although Mike has included a lot of resources and help to get anyone going in the free membership of Renegade University, there is also a Professional Membership and the library of resources is rapidly growing. Look at the upcoming training available to Professional members:

Setting Up Your Own Auto Responders -Tues., April 22, 2008 9:30 PM - 10:30 PM EST

About the Event...

When you begin "Internet attraction marketing" one of the first things you learn as a priority is to start building your own email list. But it can't be just any email list, it must be an opt-in list (that someone ads themselves to voluntarily).

And you can't just stop at having people join your list... that's just where the fun starts...
You must provide content (promoting events, sharing your ideas, providing value) to that list in an ongoing way in order to attract those prospects to you and your offers.

To leverage this process fully, it's important you know how to technically and conceptually set up an auto-responder for maximum results. You also need to know the best tool to use (particularly if you're building lists using other people's lead capture pages).

Even if your list is small and you're just getting started, this event series is going to be extremely valuable to help you create a complete Internet marketing attraction process that brings maximum results.

This will be an introductory class. This course is only open to Renegade Professionals.

Getting Started with Video Marketing Thurs., April 24, 2008 9:30 PM - 10:30 PM EST

About the Event...

Video Marketing is powerful for several reasons...
1. Search engines such as Google and Yahoo love video... they rank it higher automatically because they know people like to see video. Blogs and sites with video are also listed higher if they have video. There are other search engine advantages as well such as being able to 'trick' the search engines with many key word listings without being penalized like you would with written content.

2. It has the potential to build a stronger relationship with potential prospects, which leads to more people taking action on what you're offering (whether that be to join your list, buy from you or join you).

3. It's easier for some people to create video content than written content. Although this isn't true for everyone, some people will find it easier to just be yourself and share your ideas than to write them down into content for a web page.
Note that you don't have to be the one in front of the camera to benefit from video. We'll talk about all of this at this introductory event. This will be the first of a series of Webinars available to our Renegade Professionals.

Creating Marketing Videos that Get Attention and Using them Effectively in Marketing Your Business

Using video marketing can make a big impact on your business. Whether you are new to some of the social marketing and attraction marketing methods, video marketing is something you can add fairly easily.

A week ago Stephen Anderson, a member of our WorksTeam and resident of Australia, was presenter on our weekly Mon. Night WorksTeam Training webinar and gave fantastic, information-packed presentation. You may have seen some of Stephen's creative Renegade Marketer videos on YouTube. He is very creative, has a great sense of humor and has a passion for helping others.

Stephen walked step-by-step through some simple techniques for creating video by creating two different videos on the training webinar. He demonstrated how to use a basic webcam and Windows Move Maker video to create a video clip. In his second video demonstration, he showed how a simple powerpoint presentation and audio could be used to create an effective marketing video.

Certainly as your business progresses, if you decide you want to utilize video marketing in more depth, you can invest in some useful software, like Camtasia. But the great thing is you can utilize video marketing to grow your business even if you are on a limit budget.

A few things to keep in mind when creating marketing videos:

• keep them short definitely under 10 minutes - 30 seconds – 2 ½ minutes is ideal
• make sure you include your url at the beginning and end of your video so you are pointing people back to your site
• be creative and use your sense of humor – people will direct others to your video
• use good relevant keywords in your title and description

Here is the YouTube Marketing Video Stephen created during our WorksTeam Training webinar. As you can see Stephen Anderson enjoys the journey and keeps it fun. He also excels at teaching solid marketing concepts in an understandable way.

This coming week, Mon. April 21st, we have another training that will focus on how to leverage video marketing by making it viral.

The topic is: Viral Video Marketing Strategy: Using Video to Market Your Business

We'll be discussing what viral video is, and how to leverage it in marketing your business.
This training is complimentary to a prior training on 4/7/2008 and will give you specifics on how to get your video out to a huge audience. If you are currently utilizing video in your business, or are considering doing so, you won't want to miss this training!

If you would like to attend this webinar, you can register HERE and enter Wendy Mills as the person who invited you for that required field.

Also, if you are new to the concept of attraction marketing, social marketing and other methods of using the internet to bring people to you instead of chasing them, you can tap into the Renegade University at no cost and get a better idea how these strategies can help you grow your business. Just go to http://www.renegade-pro.com/ for more information and the free membership link.
