The one biggest problem network marketers face when starting off in business is cashflow.

The initial payment followed by marketing tools and autoship payments can leave a serious stain on a person's initial enthusiasm and if people aren't joining their business, then most will look for the exit door.

To me, this has always been a waste of everyone's time; the sponsor, who's efforts in recruiting someone into the business are wasted... and of course, the new distributor who is now several thousand dollars lighter in the pocket and up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

Not many make the 90 day network marketing deadline. Between 80-90% will bail out in the first three months and look for greener pastures. But the truth is, if they go through the same routine they went through during their previous failure then guess what?... they'll more than likely get the same resultant failure in their next opportunity.

It took me a long time to break free from the old network marketing mentality of making a list, 3 foot rules and hassle every one in sight, and it didn't change until I got a chance to read a copy of Ann Sieg's book, The Renegade Network Marketer.

Creating cashflow on the front end is vital to surviving those first few months in any business let alone Network Marketing. Ann has done a good job in exposing tired old network marketing myths and has outlined a blueprint for not only creating immediate cashflow but targeting people who want to hear what you have to say.

A word of warning though, The Renegade Network Marketer is not full of any fluff, in fact, if you are an old school MLM'er set in your ways, then give the book a miss. It will offend you. It doesn't hold any punches.

However, if you want to understand why prospecting and recruiting could actually be destroying your business... why a business opportunity is
literally the last thing you want to be selling and... how to make money REGARDLESS of whether you sponsor anyone or not, then The Renegade Network Marketer is the life raft you've been desperately searching for. It gets my highest recommendation.

The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing has ruffled a few feathers in the network marketing business world and for very good reason.

Ann Sieg has compiled a short 35 page report aimed at the 95% of MLM'ers struggling to build their businesses. I must admit, as a seasoned network marketer, I was a little concerned with the title, The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing, because despite multi level marketing being a tough business to succeed in, I get defensive when people start slamming it.

Sure, network marketing has it's flaws but it's hard to argue with the fact it is still one of the best vehicles for many of us to create sustainable wealth, After reading the report I sat back and thought... "Ann, controversial headline but girl, you've just about hit the nail on the head!"

Ann mentions in the opening section she wrote the book for those struggling hard to even make an impression on their business. She says attending countless meetings, setting up appointment after appointment, following the advice of her upline and still being in debt after two years made her think there had to be a better way.

How much of the previous paragraph resonates with you?

You know, many of us know something's not working yet whether it's upline propaganda or we just don't want to admit to ourselves we are just spinning our wheels because we are basically admitting defeat is a part of human nature which must be baffling for most of us.

Ann finally figured out how to stop spinning her wheels. She says most of what we have been taught about building a network marketing business is wide of the mark.

Is she right? Here are some interesting stats I found on the network marketing business opportunity:

- between 70-80% of distributors will "throw in the towel" in the first three months
- over 95% never make it past the 12 month mark
- almost 80% will not know the feeling of sponsoring someone into their business

So with statistics like that, why would anyone consider MLM? Who's lying and who's telling the truth.

In writing this MLM review I kept an open mind but after reading Ann Sieg's report several times, it became clear this is a business which requires focus and discipline.

One of the main reasons why people fail in network marketing is because they don't make money fast enough.

This message will resonate with the majority of MLM'ers yet, this has happened for years and it has taken revolutionists like Ann Sieg to make people aware that they need to change their focus and direction if they are going to become successful in network marketing.

Sieg has recently released an updated version of her hard-hitting report, The Renegade Network Marketer. You can read a review of the original version on this page.

The Renegade Network Marketer hasn't been available for too long, it was released in June, 2007 yet it's impact has been profound. Many were critical of her claims that the marketing had gone out of network marketing and she perhaps went a little overboard with her criticism.

Sieg won a lot of respect though because she called it like it was and backed up her criticisms with solutions. In her updated version, she has added some valuable information on marketing which was well covered in the first edition. However, with the support from some of the most respected names in internet marketing such as Ken Evoy of SBI! fame, Sieg seems determined in her mission to snap many MLMers out of the time warp they find themselves in regarding the use of old, outdated prospecting methods.

Pre-selling is an art form not many have mastered yet those who have, literally exploded their conversion rates overnight. Ken Evoy is a master of pre-selling and his association with The Renegade Network Marketer means one thing for your business;it's going to get an injection of expert advice and Sieg explains how SBI! will become an asset in building your MLM business.

One of the benefits of having a website in network marketing is to give your prospects a "go to" place to visit so they can either receive valuable information from you or opt into your mailing list to receive a newsletter, free reports or any other useful information you can drip to them over a period of time. And that's the key.

That's what pre-selling is all about and it's covered in the update of The Renegade Network Marketer. The principle of the Renegade System is to show you how to create cash flow from day one in your business.

The reason most people fail in network marketing is because they don't make money fast enough. The Renegade Network Marketer will show you how to overcome this problem and put yourself in the black very quickly.

Got into an interesting discussion recently on the law of attraction vs. cause and effect.

It came about when I was contacted by a member on my Renegade Network Marketer list who let me know nothing was happening in their business. I asked what he had done to get things moving. The response shocked me!

"Well, I applied the law of attraction but nothing is happening. I'm thinking all the right thoughts and I'm okay in my personal life but I want to attract people into my business and they aren't coming."

This is not the first time I've got this and I want to preface that I do believe in the law of attraction but it's not the law I live by. My favorite law is that of cause and effect and after a couple of solid training sessions with my list member, we had him on the right track and doing more cause than thinking.

The Renegade system is only going to work if you apply it. Which then brings up another issue. Most network marketers who read The Renegade Network Marketer are excited about the possibilities but struggle with the how because working online is new to them.

However, the solution is simple. Enter Mike Klingler and the Renegade Professional. When I talk about cause and effect, then applying what is taught in the Renegade book means using the resources available to you online and Klingler is very effective in his training methods at Renegade Professional.

The problem with many potential successful network marketers is they'll come across a blueprint like the Renegade system and sit on it. The intentions are in the right place but unless you make something happen nothing will.

You need to cause something; it won't appear out of thin air in magical fashion and the cause in this case is "getting your hands dirty" and diving into the Renegade Professional training grounds.

It's a great feeling to see something happen as a result of action. Imagine performing several positive actions and watching the momentum build to eventually produce a torrent of results.

Network marketers are fast finding out the benefits of owning online real estate. In other words, having a website online and did you know, your own site is like a store front window.

However, a network marketing website should not be the kind of store front window displaying the latest specials. Do that in this business and you'll quickly have visitors hitting the back button!

Ken Evoy of Site Build It! fame recognized the network marketing power of owning a website long ago yet it's only been in the past year that MLMers are finally honing in on that power.

The reason is the emergence of the Renegade Network Marketer system where Ann Sieg laid out a match winning blueprint for shifting one's network marketing business online.

But back to owning your own network marketing website. Evoy is adamant network marketers need to understand the concept of attraction marketing and pre-selling before putting their own piece of real estate online. In other words, forget the sales pitch but cater to your prospect's needs and that's education and training.

Many network marketers ask the question..."how do I promote my MLM business online when my company won't let me promote them publicly?" The short answer is, you don't.

Confused?

Well, this is what we were getting at when we spoke about attraction marketing and pre-selling. Your website shouldn't be a sales pitch about your company. Instead, it needs to be teaching visitors, educating them and training them on various aspects of running a home business.

Alternatively, if your company is based on nutrition, technology or any other product line instead of blasting out how great the products are, you'll instead provide information about the topic related to your site.

For example, if you are promoting nutrition products, you provide useful content on nutrition, it's benefits, it's downside, what happens when you ignore nutrition, how nutrition affects your body cells, cellular regeneration and degeneration and the list goes on.

Can you see the point here? Educate your prospects and brand yourself as someone who knows what they are talking about. This is powerfully built into the Site Build It! education and site building process and one of the reasons it's stood the test of time.

One of the keys to moving forward in your work at home business is not letting sentimentality get in the way.

Network marketers are guilty of this everyday. To paraphrase, sentimentality is not letting go of something that's not working. It applies to your marketing strategies and also to your down line.

In other words, hanging on to a strategy you have been using which is consuming too much of your time or letting go of someone in your down line who simply is not doing anything to help themselves.

A work at home business requires getting out of your comfort zone and testing new strategies until you find those that work and dismiss those that don't.

When it comes to a non productive down line member, use the analogy of three strikes and you're out. Over the course of a couple of weeks, provide them with some initial help by way of tasks but if you get the dreaded excuse each time they don't meet their time line simply let them know your time is valuable and you have others you need to get with to train.

Then let them go. When we say let them go, they need to be contacting you for help instead of you continually doing the chasing. It's unproductive and will hamper your efforts to move forward.

While this may sound harsh the reality is, while an unproductive down line may mean well, the truth is, they can suck your time and energy which will be better directed to those willing to move forward.

It's definitely the 80/20 rule at play here because 20% or less will be producing most of your volume.

You've got to understand that many people in a work at home business such as network marketing may just be happy to get the products at cost or simply want to belong to something. That's a fact.

So don't dismiss them from your correspondence lists by any means but just be wary of where you are directing your productive time.

While someone may be close to you such as a relative or friend and you feel obligated to devote some extra time with them, if they are not reciprocating your efforts simply move on and find what is working.

Some hard decisions need to be made but if you don't make them your progress will be hampered significantly.

Have you been a regular network marketing forum visitor? There are plenty of them online and there's no shortage of people looking for their prospects in them.

How do you feel when someone constantly throws their company and products at you without doing anything to earn your trust?

It's a legitimate question because as the title suggests, a lot of the time it's like watching a one-up-man-ship competition with the winner walking away with the...well, in most cases, they walk away empty handed and one more frustration closer to quitting.

In a recent call to a new prospect who downloaded The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing, what was supposed to be an introductory call and simply a "break the ice" connection to just say hello, turned into a 30 minute one way conversation where I was hammered from start to finish about this person's company and it's products.

So what was wrong with this scenario? Plenty! It was obvious the prospect's only motivation was to try and get me to take a look at his business opportunity and the only way he knew how to get through to me was by ramming it down my mouthpiece.

Seriously, I got about three words in and they were to the effect of hmmm...hmmm...hmmm. He'd lost me after 30 seconds.

The sad part is, this is generally the way most networkers behave. What made it worse is I let him know I was already working a successful business but it didn't deter his mission to try and convert me over.

That was a classic case of a desperate marketer with no idea on what it takes to firstly, convince the prospect that he was genuinely concerned about my goals and aspirations and secondly, he gave me no valuable advice or resources that I could take away and use.

What made this a joke was that he was supposed to be the prospect, not me yet as a hardened network marketer, it's the type of stuff you get used to.

If you take anything away from this article it's this...unless you're using attraction marketing in your network marketing business whether it's online or offline, you simply will continue to struggle to bring long lasting business builders into your organization. It's as simple as that.

This may hit a nerve or two but are you really an inter-network marketer or just a devotee of information.

In other words, is your appetite for information so insatiable that you spend most of your time either reading, watching or listening to the latest ground-breaking information.

I bring this up because there is a a large group of inter-network marketers who can be labeled as simply followers. That is, they know what they need to do but are happy to just sit on information and continue to consume more as it comes along.

But the worrying part is when they think of themselves as an internet-network marketer. The truth is, they're not. They are consumers and stuck in that tunnel that takes someone from the starting point to achieving their goals.

They are somewhere between the start about a tenth of the way along the journey.

To be successful in anything then action is required and without it, nothing will happen. Self belief is one thing and you can never have enough while learning is another and it's important to stay abreast of the latest techniques but the fuel which makes everything come together is good old fashioned action.

I live by the rule of cause and effect. Whatever gets done in my business is expected to have an effect but more importantly, while it may not be instant, the repercussions down the track are what counts.

If you are an internet network marketer and are stuck in that phase of paralysis analysis then there is one vehicle currently available which can break those limiting chains.

It's called Renegade Professional set up by Mike Klingler who realized in late 2007, that while The Renegade Network Marketer laid out a strong blueprint for capitalizing on the internet to build a network marketing business, there was a definite lack of how to information.

He solved that by creating The Renegade Professional training grounds and for any of you struggling to understand how all this stuff works, then you owe it to yourself to grab a free tour.

Busting a learning curve wide open requires a good degree of visual how to and Klingler has delivered plenty of video tuition.

Remember, by completing one task each day will soon build into a raging torrent for your network marketing business and you will begin to appreciate the power behind the term cause and effect.

Part of the process of being successful at attraction marketing is having the ability to get your prospect to identify with who you are.

A recent new addition to my team needed some one-on-one time about promoting herself and her business. Her main concern was her writing ability. She said she couldn't write.

Well, I believe everyone can write so I set her an assignment. Create a Squidoo Lens and add at least three pieces of content to it.

She felt challenged but had the lens up and running in a day. When I checked her content I was floored.

"Can't write. You've got to be kidding!"

Turns out her main concern was how she would convey who she was, her dreams and her aspirations to her readers. She loves to chat and is a real conversationalist. There was the answer.

She wrote her lens in a conversational style which created two things - a connection with her readers and that she was just like them...on the look out for a way to improve her current lot in life.

More importantly, she gave her readers value citing several things they could implement to improve their personal and financial situations.

At no stage did she shove her network marketing opportunity at them and yell..."Look, sign here or else!"

One of the reasons we like the Site Build It! model so much for network marketers is the training and guidance given on how to get both the attraction marketing and pre-selling aspects of the business working for you.

It's no secret but if you give your readers value then they are going to stick around and bookmark your site and return over and over.

Ken Evoy has no peer in implementing the art of both attraction marketing and pre-selling and this is one of the reasons a Site Build It ! site will not only stand the test of time online, but will rank well as it grows.

Create the perfect pre-sell website and take the power of attraction marketing to the ultimate level. Websites are easy to create when you build with Site Build It!.

One of the most frustrating aspects of network marketing is a seemingly unproductive downline.

We're you ever told at the beginning - some will, some won't. Well, the truth is, some will, the majority won't.

In other words, your business will grow it's foundation initially on a select few of your distributors while the unproductive ones will either drop out or be happy to take the product.

Can you do anything about this? Do you need to put on a drill sargent uniform and start kicking some but. Definitely not!

Here's something you need to realize which can save you frustration and valuable time and better still, boost your bottom line.

Simply work with those individuals who really want to build a business and have "all their ducks in a row."

Don't get disappointed when people in your downline don't appear to be doing anything.

Why?

Because the reality is, they may not be ready just yet, they are happy getting their products on autoship or the worst case scenario is, they shouldn't be there.

The last point is important. When people don't want to be there then look at your recruitment methods. Did these people come seeking you? If they didn't then how did you recruit them in your business. Are they family or friends who you asked to take a look at your opportunity?

The bottom line is and this is going to sound harsh...don't waste too much time and energy on trying to get these people to take some action if your efforts up to this stage have proven futile.

It could actually make or break you as network marketer. In other words, the time you waste trying to inspire people who simply don't want inspiration could be better spent with your productive people.

Because by helping the producers, you will create momentum within them which will carry on to their down line.

These productive associates will duplicate your intensity and effort and this will have a flow on effect.

Just remember that guy Pareto and his 80/20 rule. It's a timeless statistic.

There is a new trend emerging in the network marketing world. Yes, The Renegade Network Marketer has been responsible for the attraction marketing and pre-sell boom but we're talking about community based network marketing.

In a nutshell, community based network marketing is about using a person's strengths within an organization and capitalizing on them.

The result is, when everyone is working to their own strengths and not being burdened with tasks they are unskilled at the leverage and momentum created can be quite devastating.

Occupy The City is a community based network marketing group who's sole aim is to focus on making each and everyone of it's members work towards one common goal - success for everyone.

Here's the problem when someone joins a network marketing company - they have to be:

- salesperson
- interviewer
- recruiter
- motivator
- trainer

Can you see where this is going? For someone inexperienced in running a business the overwhelm factor will set in and before you know it, they drop out.

In other words, a person may be good at recruiting but hates the thought of speaking with their prospect, not because they don't want to but because of the fear factor and yes, this is the case with a good majority of network marketers.

Picture this...what if this was you and you had the attraction marketing skills and could bring in an endless supply of leads.

Now what if the leads were then handled by an experienced interviewer with strong people skills and understood the art of pre-selling to a tee.

Don't you think the sign up rate would be increased? This is one of the strengths of Occupy The City and the reason why the join rate is into the double figures.

One of the aspects of running a successful community based network marketing business is staying in touch with members.

This is achieved through regular meetings as a group and also individual get togethers as sub groups.

People can be separated into categories such as internet marketing, sales and content and writing but all working towards one purpose - that is the ultimate goal of the group to achieve financial success for everyone involved.

It's a powerful concept and if you have tried and failed at network marketing in the past and think you have something to offer, then a community based network marketing business will suit you admirably.

Occupy The City can change your life...but only if you let it.

The more I think about it the more I'm convinced that pre-selling is compulsory to maintaining a solid foundation in your network marketing business.

Studying the techniques of Ken Evoy through Site Build It! should be on your to do list if you're really serious about mastering the art of pre-selling.

In inter-network marketing, it's vital if you're using the attraction marketing model outlined by Ann Sieg in The Renegade Network Marketer and if you're not, then you're missing out big time.

I want to share a story about how powerful pre-selling is but it doesn't revolve around network marketing. It actually revolves around a man and a cat.

Yes that's right and it's something this author recently experienced to prove pre-selling can work in just about any situation in life.

Having moved into a new home several months ago it wasn't long before we had a strange visitor suddenly show up in the shape of a cat.

At the time, we thought he belonged to someone within the vicinity of our home and was just doing the rounds. But as the days went by, the cat seemed to have decided our backyard was going to be where he hung out.

It wasn't very old in fact, by my estimations, just a few months and being the animal lover that I am, I decided to name him TJ and see whether I could actually get close to him.

At first, he would have nothing to do with my advances and would continually back away so I decided to leave some dry cat food out for him and see whether he would be interested.

Sure enough, he started to eat the food and when he emptied his bowl, I would leave more for him. But he still wasn't interested in getting close to me.

Hmmm...I then wondered whether I should put the food out there more sparingly. No, what I decided to do was try and coax him towards me with it.

So for several days I would feed him bits and pieces, just enough for him to get more interested.

What was actually happening was he gradually saw me as someone who could fill a need in his life - easy meals and before long, he was actually sitting on my back doorstep looking through our screen door to see where I was.

TJ was beginning to trust me and as each day went by, he would get closer and closer to me when I went outside with his food.

It was only a couple of weeks ago when I made the big breakthrough. Standing outside and holding out a piece of chicken while calling him over, TJ actually was brave enough to approach me ever so slowly and take the food from my fingertips.

As he was eating it, I even managed to pat him on the head a couple of times and he seemed to enjoy it.

It took a couple of months but my point is, by providing TJ with value (the food) as a total stranger from the beginning, I actually pre-sold him on the idea I was someone he could rely on and that comes down to earning his trust.

Yes, I didn't know it at the time but I was getting a strong lesson in preselling. It's what you do in the lead up to your sales pitch which matters.

Provide your new prospects with value from the beginning and it won't matter how good your sales pitch is - they will eventually want to join you. That's the power of preselling.

Are you branding yourself or your company? As a Renegade network marketer, one of the things you're taught is to brand yourself.

That is, it's you your prospects will eventually join and not your company. If you "fly the flag" of the company ahead of yourself when prospecting then you've missed a vital aspect of the attraction marketing process.

You see, the truth is, too many network marketers like to hide behind their company and products and for some reason, are too afraid to put themselves out there.

The problem with this is that the majority are doing exactly the same thing and basically, people are not distinguishing themselves from the next MLMer.

Now one of the benefits with The Renegade Network Marketer is you're encouraged to brand yourself via websites, blogs and Web 2.0 real estate.

But just putting your name to a piece of online real estate won't do the job alone - you need to then stand out from the crowd and provide value.

You may be thinking..."What! Give stuff away for nothing?" - Exactly!

It's part of the pre-sell process. You see, what's the point of getting a prospect who seeks you out and then just hitting them with a sales pitch first up.

Instead of leading with your company, the products or your business opportunity, it's much more powerful to firstly identify why they sought you and what they're goals are.

While you're doing this, you'll obviously be thinking of them in terms of being a future downline member in your business so why not make a good thing of it by training them from the outset.

In other words, give them stuff they can use whether it be advice or training material. Ann Sieg talks about how powerful the pre-sell process is in The Renegade Network Marketer.

This is how Ann described the Pre-sell process:

"The frame in which someone views a message has more
of an impact on their decision than the message itself."

And she emphasized this fact during her association with the King of pre-sell Ken Evoy of Site Build It! fame when they launched the Inter-Network Marketing Contest earlier this year.

The way your prospect views your behavior during the lead up to the "sales pitch" will have a big bearing on whether they even give you the opportunity to pitch them.

Whether it takes a week, a month or three months, your job during this time is to educate your prospect.

Many people will argue..."well, I cannot afford to waste time on educating a prospect because I don't have many people in my downline and I need to build it quickly."

This attitude will not build your downline; it will kill it. It's short term thinking. By using the Renegade system, you should never be in a position of having a lack of prospects to work with.

Attraction marketing + pre-selling equals targeted, well informed prospects plus a stable downline - that makes for a solid business.

There seems to be a some confusion among network marketers migrating their businesses online that their sole focus is being able to promote their company and company's products.

If this is the case with you then you're missing the whole point of attraction marketing.

Having a website means you suddenly have a tool in which you can not only promote yourself but more importantly, attract qualified people into your business funnel.

If building your business is your prime aim, then why would you even consider promoting your company or products ahead of attracting prospects into your funnel? That doesn't make sense.

Ann Sieg produced The Renegade Network Marketer nearly a year ago and it's become the most important book written on network marketing in the past couple of decades.

In the Renegade, she highlights the attraction marketing concept and how a piece of online real estate such as a blog or website can suddenly break through the barriers of distance and bring people into your business from virtually all corners of the planet. Better still, it's working 24/7!

Promoting your company and it's products ahead of your prospect will leave you empty-handed more often than not. What your prospect really wants to know is how you can show and teach them to build their own income stream.

This is the moment when you get to show off your value as a leader. Instead of hyping up your company and products why not start training them from the moment they enter your funnel.

That is, provide them with information they can use right away. Provide value so they can begin to see how the attraction marketing module really works.

By pre-selling them before you even hit them with a sales pitch means you're qualifying yourself as someone who actually cares about what they want and are not out to simply get them into an opportunity so you can brag to your upline about another sign up.

No, if you follow the principles laid out in The Renegade Network Marketer, by the time you're ready to pitch to them, they would have received so much value from you and better still, proper training, that you will more than likely have to save your pitch for another time.

The truth is, with the attraction marketing process in play, you suddenly become your prospect's main focus, not your company. See how powerful that is?

Are you making your network marketing business more complicated than it really should be? In other words, are you spinning your wheels stuck in the same routine without moving forward?

The point we're making is if you've been using a system and not getting results but hanging in there because your upline is telling you too then it's time to move on.

For example, buying leads and spending countless hours on the phone trying to get just one prospect to at least show some interest in your offer so you can run through your sales pitch and hopefully entice them into your business.

You know what, you need to fire your lead generation company first and as hard as this may seem, stop listening to your upline. Yes, that's right, your upline could be seriously jeopardizing your business growth.

The fact is, they probably don't know any better and are more than likely in the same position as you - going one step forward and two steps back.

You're building your network marketing business the hard way. It's more than likely that what you're doing is taking up a lot of your time and that's ok if you're getting results but what's the point if what you have to show for it is more and more debt at the end of each month.

Network marketing is a great vehicle to build long lasting wealth. What you need to understand is it's also simple.

As a Renegade Network Marketer, two of the main ingredients which makes it such a powerful and productive system is it's simplicity and it's cure for lack of leads.

Attraction marketing is so dead simple it's baffling why there are network marketers still calling prospects via lead generation services.

The problem with these is you have no control over your leads. That is, you take what you're given and you have no clue whether these leads have been rinsed over and over by other MLMers.

Attracting leads the Renegade Network Marketer way means the leads are fresh; their new and more importantly, they contact you. So there is very little chance of copping unwarranted verbiage from a prospect wondering who the heck you are.

Do you see the power of doing business this way? You have the carrot - you're in the driver's seat and once you understand the power of attraction marketing you'll probably kick yourself for delaying your decision for so long.

How much importance do you place in the headline of your articles? Without a compelling headline then you're not going to entice a reader to look any further.

You see, the headline is the window to your article. It's like going shopping - you look in the windows of the big department stores and if you like what you see in the display area it's likely you're going to take a further look and enter the store.

Article marketing is much the same. A bland headline isn't appealing to most readers and they will likely hit the back button. You've got to remember, when using the resources available to you offline whether it's a website, a blog or an article, you've only got a split second to capture the reader's attention because research shows they won't hang around.

Another point to remember when crafting a compelling headline is to make it relevant to your article. There's no point writing a great headline and it doesn't relate to the article at all. This is deception and you'll lose credibility.

Remember, a reader is looking for something specific and a solution and if you're trying to attract them to your offer and they land on your page, you better have what they're looking for or they'll be off to get it somewhere else!

As a Renegade Network Marketer article marketing is a big part of your attraction marketing process. If you are having trouble coming to terms with writing a compelling headline then we're going to give you a great starting point.

Here's an excellent method for getting ideas on how to come up with attractive headlines:

1. Do a search for article directories on your favorite search engine. Some of the better known directories include Ezine Articles, Go Articles and Search Warp.

2. These directories generally have a localized search facility within them. Do a search for what ever term you're looking for...for example, Renegade Network Marketer.

3. You will get a list of results. Now check the articles which come up and before you study the headline, look at how many times the article has been viewed. You'll soon get an idea of which articles are more popular by the number of views they've had.

4. Once you have a list then study the headline. Now, can you adopt a similar headline to your article? Don't copy it word for word but look at the words being used around the main keyword such as "Why" "7 Ways" "The Truth" etc.

5. You can do this for any topic and check to see which are the more popular articles and then adopt the same style to your Renegade Network Marketer articles. Look for the words around the main keywords and see if you can use them around your main keywords.

6. Just make sure the headline makes sense and it relates to your article when you write it.

Hands up if you're dissatisfied with your current network marketing company. Truth is, there are probably more hands being raised than you'd think and the cold harsh reality is, network marketers think about and do switch companies...often.

Ann Sieg make a great point in a piece she wrote post Renegade Network Marketer when she assessed the most likely people you need to target when prospecting. Many would have been shocked with the top group but yes, they are network marketers.

Does this surprise you? It shouldn't. Many people who begin their journey as a Renegade Network Marketer ask a very pertinent question - "If we are targeting network marketers then isn't this a little unethical?"

That's a very good question but reality is, you don't target other network marketers when you apply the principles of attraction marketing as outlined by Sieg in The Renegade System. Such is the power of attraction marketing, other network marketers become you're most likely prospect simply because most are dissatisfied with their current business, company or upline.

That's just the way it is. Ask yourself this, are you currently satisfied with the way your network marketing business is performing?

Network marketers are pulled in by the attraction marketing process in droves; like bears to a honey pot. Why? Because the process takes them from one of suspicion to developing a trust and relationship for the person that's prospecting them. That's the power of attraction marketing.

When you are able to win the trust and respect of a prospect over a period of time you can virtually forget the prepared sales pitch you're saving for them. The fact is, they will want to join you because you've demonstrated a certain quality of mentorship and they just want to be a part of it. They want to join you and not your company.

So if you're considering the merits of joining The Renegade Network Marketer and wondering whether you're just be preaching to the converted - don't. Sure there are MLMers attracted into your funnel who are looking for a more potent and successful method of lead generation but be rest assured, a very large percentage are not happy with their current lot or simply in between companies.

With the principles outlined by Ann Sieg in The Renegade Network Marketer and the step-by-step training provided by Mike Klingler at The Renegade Professional, you're well on your way to mastering the skill of attraction marketing and building a responsive down line.

Attraction marketing will position you and your network marketing business in front of the right people - that is, qualified prospects.

One question that often runs across my desk is "how do I learn about attraction marketing?" or "where do I start with attraction marketing?"

Leads are the lifeblood of network marketing. Let me re-phrase that...qualified leads are the lifeblood of network marketing. You've got to be prepared to put most of the old school stuff behind you and adopt online attraction marketing principles.

The problem with the old style methods of network marketing lead sourcing is it's too hit and miss. In fact, if you're looking for a reason why the attrition rate in the industry is so high then this one factor is responsible for a major portion of the 90% of people who drop out within three months.

Why?

Rejection...plain and simple. When you're being rejected on a daily basis you've got to start to question whether network marketing is right for you.

Approaching people "out of the blue" and begging them to take a look at an opportunity is desperate marketing. It won't get results and will eventually drive you right out of your business.

When your self esteem and ego take hits on a daily basis only the strongest willed person can handle that sort of mental abuse and press on by keeping their goals front and center.

The majority will quit declaring this stuff doesn't work and the network marketing industry will suffer yet another image nasty vote of confidence.

But the truth is, this stuff does work and the trick is, putting yourself in front of the right crowd. So how do you do that?

First and foremost, forget the hit and miss lists. Forget buying leads and spending unnecessary expense on phone calls which 9.9 times out of ten result in another rejection.

Instead, consider building a website and start claiming your piece of online real estate. Don't know how to build a website? Try Site Build It! where you'll be guided by one of the internet's master attraction marketers in Ken Evoy.

Build yourself a blog, a Squidoo Lens, a Hub Page - anything which will give you the ability to brand yourself.

Don't know how to use the internet to market your network marketing business? Then check out Renegade Professional where you'll get the step-by-step training you're after to turn you into an inter-network marketer.

What's the point of this article. Simply to remind you that the resources to build your own attraction marketing empire are there. They are all around you. You just need to use them.

How many times have you heard that the marketing system is the key to your network marketing business success?

If you are struggling with your network marketing business right now, have you sat down and analyzed why? Ann Sieg hit the "nail on the head" in the Renegade Network Marketer when she talked about how much devotion and time she spent in MLM yet, just kept spinning her wheels.

In the end, she had to really ask "Is it me or the system I'm working with." The rest is history and shortly after, Sieg produced two revolutionary reports The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing and of course, The Renegade Network marketer.

Before you start to point the finger at your network marketing company you need to look at a few things first. Let's take a look at some of the questions you should be asking:

1. Have I given this business my heart and soul?

2. Have I followed the training I'm receiving from my upline to the letter?

3. Can I put more time into my business to generate better results?

4. Is the system I'm using working?

These are all pertinent questions and if you answered yes, yes, no and no, then it may be time to look at either switching companies or finding a better marketing system.

You see, the marketing system you adopt will either make or break you. Today, attraction marketing has become the buzz phrase in network marketing and for very good reason. It could be you're still making lists, attending meetings and talking to anyone who's fair game.

Are you still chasing down your prospects and if so why? Don't you think this conveys desperation on your part and is not conducive to a good business image.

Attraction marketing works the opposite way. You don't chase down and harass your prospects. In fact, if done correctly, they'll chase you down! The principles of attraction marketing are so powerful and when you pre-sell a prospect in the right fashion, then magic happens.

If you are struggling at the moment, then consider getting into an environment which fosters success and teaches step-by-step the correct way to apply attraction marketing.

You just need to take a really good look at your network marketing situation at the moment and ask yourself if it's right for you? Then you need to take a look at the marketing system you're using and asking whether it's helping you or killing your business?

If you're just starting out in network marketing and have a limited budget with no prospects what's the fastest way to get some momentum going in the first 30 days?

Sure, you can make a list and harass friends and family for the next month but will they be willing to duplicate your efforts? Probably not.

Before you even join a network marketing company you need to have a powerful marketing system in place. Without it, getting started and creating momentum is next to impossible.

That's why The Renegade Network Marketer has been a breath of fresh air during the past year but just agreeing with the inter-network marketing principles laid out by Ann Sieg won't get you going.

Your marketing system will include the best "bang for your buck" initially and once you get going and start to make some income, then you can progress to the next step step.

Inter-Network Marketing 30 Day Fast Start Plan

Here's my plan for the first 30 days of commencing in inter-network marketing on a limited budget:

1. Write articles and submit them to article directories. Start out by writing 10 articles on network marketing topics and submit one a day for ten days. Then for the rest of the month submit a fresh article every 2-3 days for the rest of the month. You'll be linking back to the real estate you're going to create below.

2. Re-write those articles so they are unique from the original. You'll then use these articles for the following...

3. Produce a Squidoo lens much like the one you're now reading. It doesn't need to be as comprehensive from the beginning. Create your intro and add at least three articles to it.

4. Go to Hub Pages and create a hub. Add at least two articles to it.

5. Go to Wikidot and create a Wiki like this one. Or like this one. These are examples of utilizing the power of Web 2.0 to promote your business and for free.

6. Once you have created these then spend time searching for good ranking network marketing related blogs. Read them. What you're looking for is opportunities to be able to leave a comment linking back to your Squidoo lens, Hub Page or Wikidot. Make sure you add value to the blogs with your comments. Don't just say "Great blog" or "fantastic stuff." Give your opinion about what the author has written.

This is a simple fast start plan and will begin to get you some traction in your business. About half way through the plan you'll be ready to create your own blog.

Yes it looks like a lot of work but remember, if you're on a limited budget then this is a powerful way to make a presence online. Even better, you will be sharpening your online skills no end.

The Renegade Professional is the perfect training ground to expand on these skills and something you should give serious thought to if you want to take inter-network marketing to the next level.

It's one of the biggest problems network marketers are faced with...motivating their downline. You would think the chance to create a sustainable income which would set someone up for life would be enough of a motivation.

But alas, this is not the case. So what's the problem? Without trying to offend anyone here, then the underlying cause of an unmotivated downline is a person's recruitment methods and the downline themselves.

Let me explain. To be motivated, someone needs to be willing to be motivated otherwise you're just wasting time and resources. That's a fact. One of the problems with the old school MLM recruitment methods is because of the tactics used to attract people into a business, the chances are always strong that they didn't really want to be there in the first place.

In other words, if someone wasn't looking for a business opportunity but decided to take a look anyway to satisfy a friend or relative, then what are the chances that they would want to continue in the business. No amount of motivation will get them going unless they wanted to.

We'll Build Your Downline For You...Ugggh!

Another method which creates problems is the ads luring people into a home business with the promises of riches for very little effort. Yes, it's old school and people being told that they would get their businesses built for them once they joined.

The idea here was to get them into the business and then hope like heck that they would become dazzled by the "ra ra" presentations put on by the company. Sadly, this tactic never really worked and nearly always "fell on it's face."

These people were very much of the get rich quick mentality and would have been better off participating in the lottery.

How To Recruit A Motivated Downline

So, how do you recruit a motivated downline? Simple, you recruit people who really want to be there. How simple is that! It's one of the core principles of the Renegade Network Marketer and Renegade Professional and is based on the attraction marketing model.

If you haven't read The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing yet you can download it for free here. Ann Sieg pretty much sums up why the wrong people were getting into network marketing using the old methods.

The internet is where it's happening today and attracting motivated people into your business is easy using the Renegade training program. Did you ever think recruiting people in MLM would ever be described as easy.

Well, when you attract people who were looking for you in the first place, then all that's left for you to do is to create enough credibility with them so they'll want to be in business with you.

And with the training available at Renegade Professional, then you will comfortably achieve this. What a difference a motivated downline makes.

Have you ever wondered what the difference between successful and unsuccessful people is?

I'm sure you've seen the comparisons made lots of times in the past and truth is, many avoid the subject simply because it hits a raw nerve.

You see, the majority of us want to be successful in life and crave the opportunity to set ourselves up financially. But less than 5% per cent of people actually achieve it.

So what's the difference? What is it that pushes someone past the point of mediocrity and into an elite group of people who can live life as they dreamed.

As a Renegade Network Marketer or Renegade Professional, the vehicle has been presented to network marketers in no uncertain terms and many have taken the first steps to becoming successful in their business.

But I didn't want to spend too much time in this article extolling the virtues of either. This article is about giving you a wake up call and highlighting some of the differences between the "haves" and "have nots."

Here are the differences:

1. Unsuccessful people are obsessed with ideas but never implement them. In other words, they are gripped by what is known as analysis paralysis. On the other hand, successful people are obsessed with implementation. They don't re-invent the wheel but instead watch successful people and copy them.

2. Unsuccessful people obsess about positive thinking but fail to match it with positive action. Successful people take action to compliment their positiveness. There's an old saying which says..."As you move, shuffle your feet!"

3. Unsuccessful people wait for the right time but it never comes. They want things to be perfect before they act. Successful people take action when the opportunity appears. There is no perfect time other than the present and they know it!

4. Unsuccessful people wait for luck to send them on their way to success and financial freedom. Successful people make their own luck and create their own circumstances in life.

5. Unsuccessful people are afraid to step up the plate. In other words, they don't want to look silly in front of their friends and family. Successful people take risks are aren't worried about whether they are going to look stupid in front of the people they know.

6. Unsuccessful people are easily influenced by family and friends. If they are thinking about poking their head above the crowd all it takes is one cutting comment from a family member and they go to water. Successful people push on no matter what. They surround themselves with successful people and take advice from those who are already successful. They live and die by their own convictions.

7. Unsuccessful people will always believe what they're told. Successful people will always perform their own due diligence and conduct their own research.

This may throw the "cat among the pigeons" but network marketing in the 21st century has become more than just building one business for a lifetime residual income.

Let me explain. Once upon a time, you had two ways of making money in your network marketing business. That is, either sell the company's products or build your down line and create a residual income stream.

Ann Sieg really challenged the perception of network marketing when she suggested that not only could you use these two avenues to make money within your business, but you could also create additional streams of income by adopting the role of internet marketer.

When the dust settled following the releases of The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing and The Renegade Network Marketer, it became apparent that introducing an element of internet marketing to MLM needed to be done sooner rather than later for your business to survive.

Now, the opportunity for network marketers has never been greater. Instead of trying to piece together a business for long lasting financial wealth, you have the opportunity to add extra streams of income to your business.

Learning the required skills to become an internet marketer is being provided through the training grounds at the Renegade Professional. Yes, the idea is to train network marketers to market and promote themselves online but the fact many are missing is, by using the Renegade Professional to acquire these skills, you will not only help your primary business, but it also opens up new doors for creating new streams of income.

And that is where the value of such a training grounds exists. Instead of becoming one dimensional and knowing just network marketing, you will be armed with the skills to branch out and take advantage of the millions of dollars available as a marketer in the internet marketing world.

Is that a mouth watering prospect? It should be. Once you know how to do this stuff and more importantly, how to market online, the sky's the limit.

Acquiring the skills to become an internet marketer while building a network marketing business is like creating your own safety net. It's a little like becoming a professional footballer; they're snapped up and recruited in their mid teens to play pro football.

Many decide that's where their futures lie and they put schooling on the backburner. That's understandable because a pro footballer can build up quite a tidy nest egg in 10+ years. But what happens if they're injured or their careers take a turn for the worse. It happens...what have they got to fall back on then?

Renegade Professional will teach you step-by-step the skills to become an internet marketer. If your MLM business fails for whatever reason, you've got the security of mind of knowing you can continue building and earning as an internet marketer.

One of the biggest pitfalls home business owners face is being consistent in their marketing and promotion.

Working from home is a great concept for most but the reality is, most get struck by what is known as paralysis analysis.

Over analyzing is one area which needs to be addressed and overcoming distractions is another. Unlike going to a designated work environment everyday, where you are constantly supervised, working in a home business requires great discipline.

People tend to forget that if they don't take action, then their business will stagnate.

It's in the area of marketing and promotion where most fall down. Network marketers suffer from lack of action on a great level. Despite having a blueprint for success laid out for them by the Renegade Network Marketer and a action-oriented training ground with the Renegade Professional, many still struggle to simply get going.

One of the reasons for this lack of action is simply being in one's home environment. It's very easy to get complacent when there is no one you need to be responsible to.

Let's take a look at some ways you can overcome this paralysis analysis.

Firstly, appoint yourself a mentor. No, not someone who can teach you but someone you will be responsible to. For example, is there anyone in your sphere of influence you highly respect and would not want to let down.

This is a powerful method of getting the fear factor going within yourself. Let's face it, there are certain people in our lives who we don't want to lose face with.

In my case, it's my father. Do whatever it takes but find someone you can report to on a daily basis who has enough of an aura to engender some action within you.

This should be your first step in overcoming complacency in your home business and once it's in motion, the results can be amazing.

Secondly, you need to look at setting rigid work hours. Yes, sometimes you may have to work outside these hours but that's ok.

Choose a work time schedule for the day and stick with it. In my case, I'm in my home office from 8:00am-4-00pm. These are my productive hours and it would take something special to drag me away from them.

You may decide you want to devote just three hours a day to your home business but whatever it is, stick with it. In a sense, working at home should be no different than going to a paid job every day from 9-5.

Thirdly, set yourself mini rewards and a main reward during the day. Work in time blocks and when you've completed each task, give yourself a small reward. This can be whatever you like but just as long as it doesn't distract you from your next task.

The main reward at the end of the day could be time out to go to the beach for a surf, down to your local cafe for a latte or simply sitting down and watching a favorite movie. It's your choice.

The idea behind setting a reward like this is it gets a little excitement going within the pysche and gives you something to work towards and achieve.

Remember, it's your home business and if you don't build it no one else will. That should just about be enough incentive on it's own but in more than 90% of cases, it isn't.

Your network marketing business will either live or die by your marketing and promotion.

It's not so much how often you promote your business although it doesn't hurt but how smart you promote it.

Let's face it, making a list of people you think might be interested in your opportunity is not smart marketing. Ann Sieg described it beautifully in the Renegade Network Marketer as hit and miss.

The Renegade Professional is all about marketing your MLM business the smart way. In other words, putting the odds in your favor. Using Web 2.0, article marketing, pay-per-click and email marketing just to name a few.

In this article, I want to show you how to use the power of using blog marketing as a way of attracting people to your primary business.

This is a simple concept but can get you a lot of targeted traffic. However, it needs to be done correctly. The idea of blog marketing/commenting is to both get links and traffic back to your site as well as offering value to the blog's owner.

The process is simple but can take time and yes, there are some tools out there that semi automate the process. But for those of you with little experience in online marketing it's great to be able to do it manually and get a feel for what you're doing.

Let's start. First step is go to your favorite search engine and if you're a network marketer, then simply type in network marketing blogs. You'll be presented with thousands of results.

Spend a little time going through the blogs and make a list of at least ten with a Google page rank of 4 or higher.

Each blog should have an avenue for you to leave a comment. This is where you need to use some commonsense. Read the latest post on the blog and understand what the author is saying.

If you feel you can contribute to the message in anyway then leave a comment. What you're aiming to do here is to either validate what the author is saying or to leave something of value which other readers can take away.

What you don't want to say is something like..."Great advice..." or "You're absolutely right..." and just leave it at that. This would be considered spamming the blog just to get a link back to your blog or site.

By simply making you're comment short like that won't tempt the reader to have a look at what you have to offer in the way of a site or information. But if you spend a little time and make a sensible suggestion or provide some type of solution, then in the reader's eyes, you may be someone they want to learn more about.

That's all there is to it. Renegade Professional students are learning these exact techniques in a step-by-step fashion and this is just a very small sample of using the power of online marketing to attract targeted prospects to your business.

It's simply attraction marketing and the Renegade Professional training arena is catapulting it's students to new levels of prospecting meaning their once ailing businesses are now being given an injection of life, something they wouldn't have thought possible just a few short weeks ago.

Renegade Professional is breathing new life into stagnant network marketing businesses and is set to become the official training ground for attraction marketing.

Developed by Mike Klingler, Renegade Professional holds nothing back in revealing the correct techniques for attracting droves of targeted prospects to your network marketing business.

Less than a year ago, most network marketers were still floundering with things like the 3 foot rule as their mainstay technique for prospecting but since then, The Renegade Network Marketer and now, Renegade Professional have cut the ribbons in opening an exciting new system to MLMers for driving targeted prospects to their business.

It's easy to become overwhelmed when learning something new and making the switch to internet marketing as your foundation for prospecting can certainly overwhelm even the most savvy online marketer.

What's impressive about Renegade Professional is it's easy to follow activity steps; it's a step-by-step training program including weekly assignments which will cut out the overwhelm factor and cut a swathe through the learning curve of online marketing.

It became evident following the release of the Renegade Network Marketer that while Ann Sieg laid out a blueprint for network marketers to follow in using attraction marketing to supercharge their prospecting lists, the majority of MLMers are still struggling with implementing these strategies.

The problem appears two-fold - understanding the correct marketing techniques and how to apply them online and learning the technical skills to put them to work.

Well, Renegade Professional solves both these problems because not only will members learn how to utilize attraction marketing into their businesses but they'll be able to look over Mike Klingler's shoulder as he shows them step-by-step with video tutorials.

The latter is the biggest factor for network marketers using the internet for the first time to attract prospects. Truth is, attraction marketing is not just privvy to those who work online. It's been used in the off line world for a long time.

But knowing how to apply the principles online using many of the free strategies and tools at a person's disposal is key. Just imagine someone trying to figure this stuff out on their own without some guidance.

Renegade Professional is a blessing in disguise for MLMers and online beginners and in two short weeks, is already producing some early success stories. That's no surprise given the "how to" training being provided.

Once upon a time, the number of leads you generated for your network marketing business relied heavily on the amount of work you put in. The catch cry we heard over and over was..."Reward Equals Action!"

It was the foundation of your success blueprint. Things haven't really changed that much except now, working smarter in your MLM business is the key. The Renegade Network Marketer has opened up a doorway to working smarter in attracting targeted prospects into your network marketing funnel.

Instead of wasting time chasing untargeted prospects, you now have the success blueprint for generating prospects who actually chase you. It's called attraction marketing.

Attracting targeted prospects is one thing though but how do you convert them into your primary network marketing business? Ann Sieg showed us how to generate cash flow while building your MLM business and this is part of the answer to converting prospects into distributors.

The real answer to converting leads into distributors though is by putting money in their pockets quickly!

Success Blueprint does exactly this. What is Success Blueprint? Well, in a nutshell, it's a free targeted lead generation program that acts like a high powered fertilizer which can literally supercharge your existing home business.

What it's not is a program to switch you from your current home business. One of the annoying aspects of network marketing is other MLMers who seem hell bent on wanting to switch you from your current company. Many times, the only reason they can give you is that their opportunity is better!

All they are succeeding in doing is coming across like a desperate marketer and losing all respect with the people they try to convert. In actual fact, these are the people who need to take a look at a program like Success Blueprint.

You only need to take a look at all the free classified services on the internet and realize the dilemma those promoting their businesses are facing. There are millions of classifieds to wade through and all offering a similar message. If you are one of those, do you think your advertisement is going to stand out from the rest?

Not likely but you cannot really blame those advertising because it's what they were told by their upline. Place a few ads and watch the leads come in.

This is the true secret to converting prospects into your primary business. Show them how to put $200-$500 in their pocket daily. The truth is, 97% of MLMers have never made a dime. Yet, if you can even add an extra $200 to their bottom line within a week, then you've achieved something no one else has been able to do in their networking careers.

You've shown them how to physically make money; you've given them some belief and don't you think they now regard you as an important part of their wealth building plans.

It's part of the Success Blueprint relationship building process. Used in conjunction with the Renegade Network Marketer, it's a pretty powerful recipe to MLM success.

Breaking down the barrier a prospect puts up when you first make contact with them should really be a pretty simple process.

How so? That's easy...don't ram your primary business offer down their throat the very first time you speak with them.

It's been the achilles heel of network marketers since this great industry started about the middle of last century and continues to hurt the chances of MLMers in building successful network marketing businesses today.

Ann Sieg introduced a new concept to MLMers in 2007 via her book, The Renegade Network Marketer. It revolved around a topic called attraction marketing. The bottom line is instead of you harassing and chasing down your prospects, they actually come to you.

Sounds a little far-fetched in the network marketing world doesn't it. Well the truth is it's not and is very real. Believe it or not, putting yourself in front of the right crowd is one of the key elements in creating an endless stream of people who want to hear what you have to say.

The first barrier you need to break down surrounds creating interest and desire in your prospect. Interest can be created through information you provide them such as a report on just about anything to do with improving their current financial position.

The report needs to be something that will then create a desire within them to want to know more. If that desire is created then they will be contacting you. But don't stop at the first report. Offer them other valuable pieces of information over a period of time.

By doing this, you are establishing yourself as someone with plenty of credibility and a valuable part of the prospect's future endeavours to expand their current knowledge and efforts to improve their financial stability.

Compare this to "jumping at them" with your business opportunity from the very first moment you meet them and then ask yourself which is likely to create a lasting relationship with them.

One smacks of being a desperate marketer while the other emanates a sincere desire on your part that you really are interested in their future financial well being.

Do this over and over again and over time, you will not only build your business but you will have a solid team of business builders working with you doing the same.

It's attraction marketing at it's best and is the exact same principles built into the Renegade Network Marketer.

One of the main prospecting avenues for a network marketer is their company's pay plan.

How many of you didn't get excited during a presentation until someone started spinning those famous pay plan circles? It's a tactic which engenders excitement within a prospect yet three months after they join, they are looking for an out.

What happened? Wasn't the compensation plan a strong enough incentive to stay involved? In most cases no.

It's a familiar scenario yet network marketers the world over still use their company's pay plan as one of their prime prospecting tools. It doesn't matter how good any pay plan is because unless you're able to generate cash flow within a short space of time your enthusiasm will quickly diminish.

So how do you generate initial cash flow? First you need a shift in thinking. Prospects are the lifeblood of your network marketing business. But prospects alone aren't enough. Targeted prospects are the answer.

Ann Sieg exploded the myth one needs a written list to build a network marketing business in The Renegade Network Marketer. She blew the lid on the long time theory your best target market is your inner circle.

Your best target market are those looking for your opportunity. Does that make sense? In other words, don't waste too much of your time using hit and miss tactics such as speaking to friends and relatives about your business.

There's no point in getting a prospect excited about your company's pay plan if they have no idea on how to generate prospects. People who join network marketing for the sole reason that they were excited about the payment structure in the main, will join the 90% of distributors who decide to bail out in three months time.

The Renegade Network Marketer outlines a superb system of attraction marketing. That is, pinpointing those people who really want to get more information on joining a network marketing business.

By utilizing the powerful online promotion and marketing techniques outlined in the Renegade system and implementing the affiliate marketing factor into your MLM business, then you start the ball rolling in generating much needed cash flow on the front end.

It's like building a business with training wheels - instead of losing money from the moment you start your network marketing business, the Renegade system shows you how to offset those early losses which gives you greater peace of mind as you gradually get your MLM business income levels to a stage where financial worries are no longer applicable.

One of the first things a network marketer needs to consider when venturing online for the first time is branding themselves.

That begins with building their own website. Ann Sieg teaches the concept of branding yourself in The Renegade Network Marketer and no matter which way you look at it, without a website, you're just another faceless member of the network marketing crowd.

Recently, Sieg teamed up with internet marketing legend Ken Evoy of Site Build It! fame and their mission is to take network marketers out of the dark ages; that is, from a faceless number within the industry to an authority figure. They are currently running a $20,000 Inter-Network Marketing contest just to put their money where their mouths are.

The problem with company generated sites is they are all the same. They are next to useless as a targeted prospect producing tool. This is where Site Build It! comes in.

Ken Evoy has recognized that the majority of network marketers not only don't know how to build a website, but they lack the skills to promote and market it.

Site Build It! is the ideal website building vehicle for network marketers to start building their own piece of online real estate.

Yes, at almost $300 for a license it could be considered expensive but the truth is, the initial expense will pale into insignificance considering you'll be on your way to creating a long term residual income producer which will not only deliver you a constant stream of targeted prospects, but also put money in your pocket.

Building for the long term is so important when planning financial independence. What we like about Site Build It! is Ken Evoy and his staff don't just throw a piece of software at you and say..."here, go build yourself a website!"

They provide the necessary guidance required and more importantly, provide advice on how to hone in on the right target market.

In fact, you could visit Site Build It! right now and be presented with information about building a network marketing website which many other marketers would charge you for.

While building your website you'll be taught the principles of attraction marketing which is so vital to succeeding over the long term in network marketing.

Ken Evoy is a master of pre-selling and it's one of the aspects he continually "pushes home" to network marketers. A Site Build It! site will offer the webmaster every opportunity to create a piece of online real estate which will not only attract prospects, but also pre-sell them.

One of the most important ingredients in becoming successful with a network marketing business is being able to create a system within a system.

Renegade network marketers know this and are enjoying the kind of success they only dreamed about not too long ago. Then along comes Renegade University - the system within a system we spoke about.

Ann Sieg laid out the perfect system for network marketing success with her book The Renegade Network Marketer; Mike Klingler has established the perfect training grounds for the new breed of renegade networker with Renegade University.

The concept behind Klingler's Renegade University is simply to help network marketers make the transition from offline to online. Many simply don't have any online marketing skills whatsoever and are intimidated by the online environment. They shouldn't be, not if they want to put their lead generation process on steroids.

When Ann Sieg laid the foundation for the new breed of MLMer with The Renegade Network Marketer, old time exponents of the business cringed. The majority however, welcomed the straight-to-the-point explanation of why more than 90% of people fail in network marketing and better still, became excited about her system of attraction marketing.

Problem is, many still feel a little overwhelmed with the new information and just want a starting point. Well, Renegade University will not only give them a starting point but a step-by-step process on how to build their business utilizing the power of online marketing.

What I like about Klingler's training is he lays out simple to follow activity steps which is ideal for those without any internet marketing experience but his training also caters to those who know this stuff but want to take their knowledge to another level.

The Renegade University training is broken down into an easy to follow marketing map. It's designed so beginners and experienced online marketers can choose where they want to start, relative to their experience.

It's becoming quite evident that using the internet as a tool for attracting targeted prospects to any network marketing will put those utilizing it's power of attraction a hundred yards ahead of those who decide to stay with the tired old offline prospecting strategies.

Network marketers are being introduced to a level playing field and are discovering the benefits of attraction marketing.

If you're not applying attraction marketing principles to your business then you are probably struggling to grow your MLM business. Why? Using old network marketing tactics today means growing your business slowly, if at all.

The truth is, 9 out of every 10 network marketers who are using old tactics such as talking to friends and relatives and cold calling opportunity leads are more than likely going to drop out of their business within three months.

As a Renegade Network Marketer, you have a big head start on the rest of the MLM population. Author Ann Sieg didn't mince any words in her hard-hitting report The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing and then delivered her coup de grace with her revolutionary book, The Renegade Network Marketer.

The attraction marketing game is all about having your targeted prospects come to you. You build a relationship with them, train them and give so much value over a period of time so when they're ready to actually listen to your primary business offer, it won't be the message of that offer which will sway them to join, but instead, all that's taken place before that.

Renegade network marketers understand the concept of attraction marketing and how it can turn them from bottom feeders to major players within the industry. Here's just a few examples of the power of attraction marketing:

1. Creating cash flow from day one in your business by turning your lead generation process in an avenue of profits.

2. Having the ability and knowledge to sell to 1000 people in the same amount of time it takes to prospect just one person using outdated prospecting methods.

3. Creating an atmosphere among your prospects which will allow them to make up their minds about joining your primary business well before you pitch them your message.

4. Creating a number of income streams which will allow you to not only finance the establishment period of your primary business, but also allow you to put money in the bank.

This is the new breed of network marketer. The reason why there is a shift in MLM prospecting today is simply because of the power of the internet. It's leveled the playing field for many MLMers. These techniques were difficult to apply off line and would have just been too costly to implement for most struggling network marketers.

The Renegade Network Marketer has opened a new door of opportunity for network marketers and the exciting part is, it now gives you the chance to profit the way the big dogs have been doing for years.

Dramatically increase your sponsoring rate. Put your Network Marketing lead generation on steroids and your MLM business into profit!
