The Renegade University

In November 2007, after being unemployed for three months, with bills coming in and my funds slowly dwindling, I was right for the picking. With things starting to get desperate I went onto the Internet and started searching for work at home business opportunities. Being in Australia, I disregarded any websites that were not local. I eventually picked one after several visits to their website and after several telephone calls, I eventually signed up with the particular company.

The company that I had joined was a well known health and wellness company and as it turned out; my new mentor was an experienced "Heavy Hitter". I was informed that I didn't need any sales experience as I wasn't selling, I was "sharing the products" and the products were so good that "they practically sold themselves" and I hadn't even started yet.

While I was working my new business or was that banging my head against a brick wall? I was on the Internet doing a Google search on something about marketing or some other Keyword, when I came across a Google advertisement in number 1 position for a free report called The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing written by someone called Ann Sieg.

This turned out to be Ann's website and after several visits reading the information, I signed up and downloaded the E-book which I then read twice just in case I hadn't read it right the first time. In the short time I had been with my company my mentor had uttered five of the statements that Ann had written about, with number six coming shortly about not getting results because I don't have enough motivation.

I eventually purchased "Renegade Marketer" and while reading the E-book, I started implementing the things that Ann had written about and signing up to several of the affiliates that the System plugs you into. I found myself on the Internet and found an advertisement for another related website, the add read something like "You've bought Ann's book, now let us teach you how to use it" or something similar. This website was Mike Klingler's website on the Renegade University, which I eventually signed up to.

I visited the Renegade University and being new to network marketing, I asked the question "what now?" but I needn't have worried because on page one it says "Step One", listen to this audio link, then do this, and then do that. Once you have completed these tasks you can move on to "Step Two".

Finally, after all this time I had found someone who was going to teach me about network marketing using the "hold my hand" step-by-step approach. I had found the solution to my problem.

After progressing passed "Step Three" and upgrading to "Professional level", I am learning more things and with the same step-by-step approach, and if you are new to network marketing like I was or even new to computers don't be worried because the tutorials that Mike has created will lead you through the process "mouse click by mouse click".

Mike also runs some of the tutorials as webinars, however due to timezone differences, I have not been able to attend these, but once again I don't miss out on these events because shortly after the event Mike uploads these to the website and I can view them once they have been uploaded.

I've been referring people to Renegade University for some time now and the majority of the people I hear back from are very pleased with the content provided.

I'm fairly busy in other areas so I don't often check in on the training provided but recently I heard from Mike that he will be closing down for a few months and re-opening at a higher price point (existing members stay at their current price).

One criticism from some people is that Mike goes too slow with his step by step training tutorials (although for every person that says that there are loads that say how great this is).

I decided to check out the training area in the Renegade University Professional area and I was amazed to see that there is nearly 100 video tutorials there now (I can now see why he needs to change the price). Here's a break down of some of the training offered;

The Renegade University is a training site that is designed to help network marketers who are wanting to learn how to use the Internet to grow their mlm business. The Renegade University uses The Renegade Network Marketer by Ann Sieg as the text book.

There are two levels of The Renegade University;

A free membership area where there is a good amount of training that will help people set up their Renegade System and get into marketing on a basic level.

The second level is called the Professional level. There is a paid area and has a very extensive training section that is designed to help beginner to intermediate marketers learn the ropes of Internet marketing.

I have found the Renegade University website very informative with Step by Step video tutorials that are able to teach anyone. The website is alive and with new tutorials continuously being added. Even if you are new to computers, Mike will be able to show you everything that you are required to do.

I recommend joining the Renegade University if you want to learn network marketing with a person who will lead you every step of the way.
