What Are The Benefits of Renegade University?
Through a series of videos which you can watch over and over, Renegade University teaches you how to build an online business in an easy to follow, step-by-step format. The training at Renegade U is specifically geared towards baby boomers like me who may not be technologically savvy and need a little extra help. Even if you have no computer skills whatsoever, you will be able to follow the training you will receive at Renegade U.
Is my story your story? How do they compare?
As a long-term employee at a large telecommunications company, I learned early on the value of preparing for life after retirement. At one time, after putting in your time with a company, after ‘x’ number of years or a combination of your age and years of service, you were able to retire and receive a pension. As an added bonus you would be able to use any savings you had accumulated over the years, or 401k to supplement your retirement income.
Well, that has changed drastically for any number of reasons. In my case, after some hanky-panky by our former CEO, I watched our stock prices plummet from nearly $40 a share to less than $2 a share which all but vaporized my 401k and postponed my retirement indefinitely. Many companies are outsourcing work to lower operating expenses and in doing so, sent your job overseas somewhere. Maybe you find yourself having to raise or help raise your children’s children or having to take care of an aging parent.
No matter what your situation is, you find that instead of being able to sleep late every day and enjoy retirement, for some reason you’re having to go back to work. Go ahead. Get mad for just a minute. Now, take a deep breath and let’s move on.
Your FREE membership at Renegade University includes a series of training tutorials on:
How to Become a Professional
Intro to Twitter
7 Lessons to Attract Prospects to You
How to Stand out from the Crowd – Developing your USP
And much, much more…
By following the tutorials in Renegade U, you’ll get a great foundation to build your online business.

Increase Sales By Flying Under
Your Prospects' "Radar Defenses"

=====================================
How do you persuade someone to do what you want them to do?
A whole world of marketing exists around us trying to do
that every minute of the day. Do you even notice it anymore
or, like your prospects, have you subconsciously set up a
system of "radar defenses" against the daily bombardment of
marketing messages?
Take a minute and count up the advertising methods which
fight for your attention (and money) every day. Just the
basic list includes:
Yellow page ads
Newspaper and magazine ads
Postcards, catalogs, and direct mail circulars in your
"snail mail" box
Radio pitches interrupting the flow of your favorite songs
TV ads - about 20 minutes worth per hour now
Hundreds of storefronts, "mega" malls, and strip malls
Highway billboards by the thousands
Circulars hung on your doorknob
Illegal signs on stop signs and telephone poles
Legitimate email messages
Spam email or UCE (without permission commercial email)
Just these 11 sources can overwhelm your brain with
marketing messages. Like trapped rats, people develop
defenses against this never-ending onslaught. They throw up
a wall or a "radar defense" that goes into action the minute
they smell a "pitch" or a sales job. Don't blame them. We
all do it!
So how can you get around this psychological wall against
the constant sales and marketing messages? Well, the answer
does NOT lie in hitting people with more frequent and
obnoxious advertising or sly, sneaky tactics. You might get
them to trust you for a minute, but it will backfire in the
long run.
You must do two things instead:
1. First, you must establish credibility for yourself and
your business as an expert.
2. Second, you must reduce their fears about doing business
with you.
Doing these two things will get you past their defenses and
allow you the opportunity to persuade them to buy your
product.
So how do you accomplish these two "simple" things? What
will win someone's attention, raise your credibility, and
lower their fear factor all at the same time? The one-word
answer really applies to most everyone.
Trust!
If a seller can get behind your defenses with information
which makes you trust them, then that credibility will carry
over into a sale much of the time.
How can you get this credibility?
Well, take this next fact as online marketing "gospel," for
many people have proven its effectiveness.
Fact: Publishing and promoting with free articles gives you
one of the most powerful opportunities available to tip the
buyer's credibility scale in your favor.
How can we prove this works? Quite easily actually. Take a
break from reading this and go check out a newspaper or
magazine for a minute.
Which do you trust more, the ads or the articles? Most
people will choose the articles hands down. Why? Because
the articles don't try to "sell" you anything. Instead, they
hand out useful information for educational or other
practical purposes.
Most of us grew up in a culture which says we can believe
and "trust" what appears in the standard "news" or
"information" format. In other words, if it appears in
print, then we can believe and trust the author.
So go ahead! Use this lifetime of conditioning to your
advantage in selling your products and services!
Very few things will create an atmosphere of trust and
confidence in people as reading one of your articles on a
subject that greatly interests them. It shows you know your
business. It also demonstrates you will do more than just
try to sell them something.
Publishing articles literally lets you fly under their
advertising "radar defenses."
So remember these points when deciding whether or not to use
articles to promote your business:
1. Few things create as much trust and confidence in the
minds of potential customers as reading an article you wrote
on a subject which specifically and intensely interests
them.
2. Articles establish credibility quickly because, right or
wrong, we've all been trained to trust the "news."
3. An article, or series of articles, will differentiate you
from the competition, who bombard people with nothing but
sales messages.
4. Providing content-rich, non-sales-oriented articles will
also help build and solidify your relationship with existing
customers so they give you repeat business.
