WorksTeam Webinar: Renegade University

On this week's WorksTeam Mon. Night Training Webinar we will be discussing Renegade University. Renegade University has saved me countless hours in helping people utilize the principles in Ann Sieg's Renegade Marketer to effectively market their businesses online.

For those in network marketing, Renegade Marketer shows how to utilize the power of the internet, avoiding the frustrations of the 'old school' methods of marketing to any “warm body” and hounding friends and family. And for those in a traditional business, the principles in the Renegade Marketer can be applied to effectively market online as well.

Renegade University takes people step-by-step through the process of implimenting the marketing principles in the Renegade Marketer Ebook and Renegade System. When I first saw the resources Ann had provided in the Renegade System I was impressed with the volume of information, resources and the value people were getting for only $67. However, I also saw that it could be a little overwhelming for the person without any internet experience.

That gap has been filled superbly with Renegade University. Renegade University provides step-by-step video walking people through the beginning stages of getting their marketing started and builds from there. Even those who consider themselves “technology challenged” can follow along. Because the marketer controls the pace they go through the videos and implimenting of their marketing, Renegade University helps the novice as well as the experienced marketer and fits any schedule, since the training is available 24/7.

Here are the details for Monday's WorksTeam webinar:

This week's topic: Renegade University

Renegade University has been an invaluable resource for many of the WorksTeam members in implimenting the marketing principles discussed in the Renegade Marketer and the Renegade System. On tonight's webinar we'll be discussing how to utilize both the free membership and the Renegade University Pro membership to: shorten you own learning, help others, and leverage off Renegade University to increase your marketing efforts, income and business growth.

If you have purchased the Renegade Marketer Ebook, are implimenting the marketing principles, or are considering doing so – you won't want to miss this webinar. If you are already a Renegade University member, you'll get ideas on how to maximize your membership.

You are welcome to join this WorksTeam webinar at no cost by registering. This webinar will be recorded and archived on our WorksTeam website. Access to this secure website is only available to those working directly with a WorksTeam member.

Upcoming WorksTeam Training Webinar on Oprius: How to Utilize Oprius For Lead Capture, Email Campaigns and More

I have arranged for Greg Strong, VP of Sales at Oprius, to be a guest trainer on our weekly WorksTeam Mon. Night Training Webinar for Mon. Aug. 11th at 9pm EST. If you are not familiar with Oprius, it is a contact manager and autoresponder rolled into one specifically designed for those in network marketing and direct sales.

Here are the details of the webinar on Mon. Aug. 11, 2008:

Generating your own leads and having people opt-in to YOUR list is extremely important in building your business.  Oprius is not only a great contact manager program, but you can easily create opt-in forms to add to your website, blogs, and other webpages, as well as create landing pages.  The great thing is that you can not only  automatically send out email campaigns, but your contacts can automatically be added to your task list so you remember to follow up.

On this webinar we have Oprius's Vice President of Sales, Greg Strong, as our guest trainer.  He is going to be demostrating the simplicity, ease and convenience of Oprius for lead capture.  Many WorksTeam members have used other autoresponder tools, but on the webinar you'll find out why we feel Oprius is the best value and simplier to use than other systems.

If you haven't tried out Oprius yet, you can subscribe for an Oprius free 30 day trial.  You don't need to enter any billing information unless you decide to continue using the service. At only $14.99/month Oprius has much more to offer than more expensive autoresponder services.

Social Networking: web 2.0 online social networking

Social networking as a way to increase business is really nothing new. People have been connecting socially and recommending products or services and gaining referrals from those social connections probably since the concept of commerce began.

Social networking groups like BNI, chamber or commerce meeting and the like have also allowed people to use social networks to enhance their business. However, the the development of web 2.0 sites, social networking has been taken to a whole new level. Now you can network, attract people who are interested in the products or services you offer and gain referrals without leaving the comfort of your home office.

However, there is social marketing etiquette and rules of the web 2.0 sites you need to know, if you want to be able to use online social networking effectively. This Monday, July 7th 2008, The WorksTeam will be conducting our regular Monday Night Training webinar on the topic of Social Networking and you are welcome to join us:

Title:   The WorksTeam Mon. Night Training Call

Date:  Monday, July 7, 2008

Time:  9:00 PM - 10:00 PM EDT

Social Marketing – Web 2.0

Blogs, Squidoo lenses, YouTube, bookmarking - and social networks, like LinkedIn, Facebook, myspace, etc., are all ways to get information out there that links back to you and attracts your target market to you. But if you don't play by the rules, you can be viewed as an online “spammer” which will hurt your marketing efforts, and can even get you kicked out of the social networks.

On this webinar we will be discussing what social marketing really is, how it can be used effectively as part of your marketing plan, how you can leverage off your connection with the WorksTeam to the benefit of everyone, and how to avoid being seen as an online “spammer”.

SiteBuildIt Summer Sale

SiteBuildIt has a Summer Sandals sale running right now that ends, appropriately, on the first day of summer, June 21 at midnight.,(sale held over until midnight July 6th!) For only a $100 you get an extra website that you can keep and activate up to 9 months later, give as a gift or split the cost with a friend or business associate. Even at $299 a year, SiteBuildIt is a great deal for all you get - hosting, domain name, web building tools, website analysis tools, tracking and statistics, autoresponder and capture forms, email and the step-by-step Action Guide to walk even a novice through the process.

When I first came across SiteBuildIt, I thought it was a great value and something I would recommend to my downline and the people I help to more effectively build their businesses. I knew it would have a much smaller learning curve than the way I learned to build websites. However, as associates of mine started using SiteBuildIt I became very intrigued and wanted to check out the tools and resources myself. The reason SiteBuildIt caught my attention was that the people I knew who started using it had no website building experience - in fact many consider themselves "technology-challenged - yet they were getting websites up in a relatively short period of time, and most importantly - getting traffic to their sites!

You see there are lots of website building tools out there these days that make it simple to put up a website. The problem is having a website does you absolutely no good - unless you are getting found! Often people want to have a website, but the truth is a lot of websites end up as expensive business cards because the only visitors are the ones being sent to the site. People end up spending a lot of money advertising their website instead of getting free organic traffic.

Now there is nothing wrong with using Google Adwords or other online advertising - if you know what you are doing, but a lot of people don't - and waste a lot of money trying to drive traffic to their website.

SiteBuildIt walks the person through keyword research and unless the person "cheats" and doesn't follow the steps, the SBI Action Guide literally ensures a quality site built around good keywords that generates organic traffic, that is people find you through the search engines rather than you having to pay to get them there. Now there are other things you want to do to generate more organic traffic, increase your website's ranking, etc. but SBI takes a person step-by-step through the website building process to build a quality site.

As you are working on your website, I also recommend utilizing the principles in The Renegade Marketer and getting step-by-step directions on how to implement the marketing methods in Renegade University. You can even join Renegade University for free to get an idea what attraction marketing is all about. Together - SiteBuildIt and Ann Sieg's Renegade System make a powerful combination that will allow you to attract your target market to you, rather than chasing after them or spending a fortune in ineffective marketing methods.

If you have questions or would like to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss ideas to help your business or start a business, complete the Contact Wendy Mills form or call 716-514-8858.

Ann Sieg's Renegade Marketer - One Year Anniversary

Ann Sieg's Renegade Network Marketer Ebook and Renegade Marketing System debuted just one year ago on June 12, 2007, taking the network marketing industry by storm. Ann Sieg and her Renegade Marketer have rocked the boat of the “old school” marketers who would prefer to have their downline following their “cookie cutter” business plan that may have worked 20 years ago, and still can work for a small percentage of people – depending on their personality and environment, but is generally not very effective or as efficient as using the power of the internet.

The thing is, these days people are just too busy to be dragged to meetings and go right to the internet to do their research. Also, since most people starting a network marketing business are usually still working a regular job and working their network business around their job and family obligations, they need to work smarter and have the time spent on their business be effective.

Ann Sieg's Renegade Marketer Ebook and system shows people how to promote themselves, determine their niche market, and attract interested people to them, rather than chasing down prospects in the “old school” manner. Now Ann Sieg has gotten a lot of flack from some people who claim that the information in Renegade Marketer is not new or that the Renegade Marketer Ebook is a “scam”. However, the truth is although some of the principles of sales and marketing are not new to the marketing industry, and the internet marketing community in particular, they certainly aren't taught within the network marketing industry. The truth is most books you read these days are not “new” in the concepts they discuss, but are of value in the way the concepts are presented. How many “ah ha” moments have you had when reading something? Most times it is not that the idea is new to you, but when presented in a certain way – you “get” it.

And the claims that the Renegade Marketer is a “scam” is absolutely ridiculous. For a mere $67, you not only get the Renegade Network Marketer Ebook, but access to an entire system that allows you to generate your own leads , while generating a marketing budget instead of paying for leads. Not only that, but the Renegade Marketer ebooks comes with a 90 no-questions-asked guarantee. So if you buy, decide for whatever reason it is not for you – you get your money refunded.

Since I have been involved and utilizing the Renegade Marketer system since pre-launch I have not only seen an increase in my own business, but have had countless people tell me how big a difference the Renegade Marketer has made in the way they run their business and the positive results they have seen.

You can read comments from just a few of them in my squidoo lens, Ann Sieg: Who is Ann Sieg, really? People have shared some of the results and impact Ann Sieg's Renegade Marketer has made for them. For $67 and a money-back guarantee, there is nothing to lose. But for those who are just not sure what this attraction marketing is all about, they can get a free membership to Renegade University and get an inside peak into what the Renegade Network Marketer is all about without having to give anything but their first name and email address.

After one year, Ann Sieg's Renegade Marketer is going strong and helping struggling marketers everywhere, many who had given up hope of being successful. Thank you, Ann Sieg!

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



• Card Campaign Ideas and What to Say



• How to Put yourself in the other person's mindset



• Showing you Care – expressing your Appreciation & Gratitude



• 5% increase in customer loyalty will yield 20%-80% to our bottom line profit
