In this Renegade Network Marketer review, Ann Sieg’s controversial ebook is exposed so that you can see if and how it can benefit you.

What is the biggest problem facing most network marketers during the crucial first 3 months of their business? Yes, it’s cashflow.

Many people are drawn into a business opportunity by seeing examples of fabulous wealth but when they sign up, they quickly find out that building a successful business takes time. Around 90% of new recruits will drop out in the first 3 months and it is usually because they have not yet covered their start up costs.

It takes money to set up in a network marketing business, even if you are working part time from home. There are initial costs including a joining fee, supplies, stationery etc and often there will also be ongoing monthly costs for autoshipping or membership. In the first 3 months, many distributors using the old methods find themselves hundreds or even thousands of dollars in the red.

The system that Ann Sieg sets out in ‘The Renegade Network Marketer’ explains how to start bringing money in while you are settling into your business - before you have even sponsored anybody. She exposes the old methods and myths that many uplines are still repeating to their new recruits. You may even be teaching your own downline these tired old ways!

These myths include: everyone is a prospect; you should hassle friends and family to join your business; there is no selling involved; and, you need to work on your motivation if you don’t have the results you hoped for.

I will admit to having some doubts about this ebook before I started reading. Of course, deep down I knew that the network marketing methods that I was taught were mostly out of date, but I was afraid this would be yet another case of MLM bashing. In fact it is not critical of the industry at all, only of the marketing methods that most people are using. Ann Sieg’s attitude is very positive as she sets out her own new methods that allowed her to quickly build a very successful business after many years of struggling.

‘The Renegade Network Marketer’ is sharp and concise. Ann never beats about the bush and even shows how it is possible to make money in network marketing without sponsoring anyone into your main business. She saves the best for last, outlining a clear blueprint for success in the final chapters. On the practical side, you get free membership in the Renegade System where you can put what you have read into practice right away.

Some old style MLMers are probably offended by ‘The Renegade Network Marketer’. Well, maybe they are doing fine without it. But most people are not. If the old way is not working for you and you are ready for a change, take a look. Just click on the link in the next paragraph to take the next step from this Renegade Network Marketer review.

In this 7 Lies Of Network Marketing review I will let you know exactly what I think about Ann Sieg’s controversial free report.

Ann’s report certainly has stirred up some hot responses across the MLM world. Some are angry, others are enthusiastic. Her biggest supporters are those who are unhappy with their progress in their network marketing business.

Are you struggling with your MLM business? - If so, you are not alone! Take a look at these disturbing statistics:

- Some 90% of distributors will quit within the first 3 months. The most common reason? It’s too hard and too expensive.

- More than 95% will quit within the first 12 months.

- The vast majority of these never even sponsor a single new distributor into their business. If they do manage to sponsor one or two people, in most cases those new recruits quickly drop out.

If you find these statistics disturbing, you are right to feel that way! Ann Sieg has set out in writing what many experienced MLMers have been afraid to say. She exposes all of the myths that we have been taught (and are teaching our downlines) about how to grow a network marketing business.

When I first saw the title ‘The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing’ I must admit that I thought it would be just another MLM basher. But after reading the report, I found it is not that at all. After setting out the ‘lies’ that you should disregard, Ann Sieg goes into how you can actually be successful in network marketing - while ignoring the myths that you have probably been taught.

MLM can be an amazing way to achieve financial success and independence. However, as the statistics show, the vast majority of people give up before they have hardly started. Why? Because they are still being shown methods that went out of date in the 1990s.

“Everybody is your prospect … you don’t have to do any selling … anyone can do this … your business will be built for you …” Do these myths sound familiar? Read this report and see the untruths exploded. Then, click the link in the next paragraph to find out how you really can become one of the 5% who succeed with network marketing.

Great opportunities usually come to us only once in a lifetime. Therefore, when a great opportunity appears, it is difficult to turn it down. Nonetheless, you need to learn the difference between a good opportunity and one that is not so good. If you are someone that enjoys traveling and you are working for a travel agency, for example, you might want to grab hold of the opportunity to become your own boss. By doing so, you can potentially make more money that you will make while working with the agency.

Although an online travel business is a great opportunity, it can be difficult to manage. Obviously, you need to love traveling in order to form an online travel agency. You also need to be dedicated to the business and you need to learn the steps necessary to start an online travel agency.

In order to start an online travel agency, you first need to develop a plan of action. Your business plan should include short term objectives for your business. Your plan should also include methods for marketing your business. To market your business, you should make certain to tell everyone you know about your business and that you will be happy to help if they plan on traveling abroad. Of course, your initial customer base will be somewhat small when you start in this way, but you will soon find that it is much larger as your satisfied customers spread the word about your business. Establishing friends, family members and co-workers as references will also help your business grow. At the same time, you should show that you are a serious and legitimate business by printing business cards and distributing them.

When it comes to marketing your business, you also need to create an attractive website. Your website should be set up to attract those people that travel on a frequent basis. It should also be user-friendly and easy to understand. That way, your customers can book their plans with ease.

If you are not an experience travel agent, you should first attend some training sessions in order to learn more about the business. With the knowledge you gain from these training sessions, you will be able to create a more successful business. You also need to examine the competition. This way, you can find ways to offer something new and different to your customers as you become familiar with the industry. It is a good idea to attend travel trade shows and to read travel magazines as well. Do whatever you can do educate yourself about the travel industry while also trying to think of innovative ideas. You should never be satisfied to stick with industry trends. Rather, look for ways to make a difference in the industry and to make your business known.

If traveling is your passion and you like to tell other people about the different places that you’ve been to, an online travel business opportunity may be the right one for you. By having your own travel business, you can travel a lot for as long as you want. But first, you must do your work and establish first your travel business. Make use of the products technology like business software to ensure that your website is working efficiently and in an organized manner. If you have to do all the work, it really pays to have a good software that you can depend on even when you’re on vacation.

By following these steps, your online travel business opportunity will become successful in no time at all. Try to consider these steps because it can really help you in making your dreams come true and at the same time make money.

Having plenty of clients at the moment is a great position to be in. However, you know there will come a time when you need to be attracting more new clients. It could be that your current work with clients has been completed or you feel ready to grow your business a bit bigger.

Many business owners when they’re busy with existing clients forget the golden rule that you still need to be marketing consistently. Otherwise it can be too easy to find you’re on a roller-coaster heading quickly into a dip without enough potential clients in the pipeline.

So, how do you go about marketing when you know you’re not in a position to take on any new clients today?

Controlling The Flow Of New Clients Through A Proper Marketing Plan

Often, the influx of new clients can be controlled through the specific marketing tactics employed by your business as part of your current strategy. For example, some tactics are more likely to bring clients on board quickly whereas other tactics are more for the longer-term attraction of clients.

Hence, selecting the right marketing activities will help you to regulate the influx of potential clients. How can this be done, exactly?

There are two types of marketing: push marketing and pull marketing.

Push marketing refers to promotional techniques that are somewhat aggressive. They place the product or service in front of the market to see. They drive attention towards these products and services in a way that will force the market to take notice. Push marketing demands a direct response from people in the target market. Telemarketing is an example of push marketing. Advertising in print publications and on websites are others. Direct selling methods also fall under this category.

Pull marketing, on the other hand, refers to a subtler promotional model. Instead of actively engaging the members of the target market to buy your product or service, you invite them to be aware and remember you, and to consider you at some point. Pull marketing is dedicated to the establishment of a recognizable brand that people will seek out eventually. Word of mouth is the best example of pull marketing. Branding yourself as an expert in the field and mentioning your business in the process is likewise a good illustration of this type of marketing. Developing leads through a sales funnel on your website also falls under this category.

What do these have to do with the dilemma we have discussed?

Basically . . .

What do you hear yourself saying you want to do or have? Are these the same things you’ve thought of many times previously? They may be related to business, career, relationship or personal life. Do you find yourself getting so far and then being stopped? Many things may stop you but number one is ‘you’.

Although you can choose to analyze what this is, think about it and try to understand why, this isn’t usually effective and generally keeps you stuck. What is clear is that something is preventing you from having what you want. It may be a single block or it may be a number of things all rolled into one. There are numerous types of blocks such as lack of clarity, direction or confidence. Others may be your beliefs, your lack of resources and action or even fear of success.

These blocks not only stop us from doing or having what we want, they can also consume an even larger amount of time and energy. Perhaps you think about them quite a bit and worry why you have them. The tendency is to think the block stopping you is too large and would require superhuman effort from you to overcome it. When we feel it’s too big to handle, we tend not to do anything about it. So the block stays there and you feel frustrated you’re not moving ahead as fast as you want.

Perhaps you want to write a book and you may feel blocked about writing, even putting pen to paper. Perhaps you want to stand in front of people and speak or do presentations and this block may represent a lack of confidence. Perhaps you want promotion in your job and your block is your lack of managerial or leadership skills. Whatever it is, there is an easy way to go beyond it.

We tend to be so obsessed with waiting till we know the perfect course of action that we never move beyond this point. We believe if we think about it sufficiently we’ll be sure we know what we need to do. The difficulty with this approach is that we use a lot of time and energy thinking, and still don’t get to the point of decision.

All the thinking in the world doesn’t replace the knowledge you gain from actually doing something. Only then will you know whether something works and is right for you. Instead of thinking about the block, what causes it and why you haven’t overcome it, allow yourself to have some fun as you play with and experiment with ideas and who you need to be.

Imagine what it would be like to keep moving forward instead of getting so far and stopping. Let your particular obstacle be something you’re going to play with. Choose to experiment each week with a new idea, a different approach, even an outrageous one. The key is to keep taking action and playing rather than be bogged down and achieving nothing. Blocks usually stop people dead in their tracks and you have to keep moving and not allow it to stop you.

Imagine a pile of children’s building blocks and take one piece at a time to play with. One day it may be a middle brick you play with which causes half the pile to fall down. You never know which piece will really make the difference.

Instead of looking at all these things and trying to think your way through them, you need to keep playing. Focus only on the part that is unfolding now; don’t rush ahead in your mind and try to work out what may be needed or what obstacle may come up next. Be in the moment. As we rush ahead in our mind, more obstacles may come up and again this may stop you. You don’t need to understand it - just stay with it.

What I want for you is to play, experiment and stay with whatever stands in your way.

Going to a nice coffee shop, you will definitely notice all the selection on the menu. It can be intimidating though if you aren’t familiar with some of the basic terms. Once you understand them though you can decide if you want to try something beyond just a cup of coffee plain or with some flavoring in it.

However, if you understand a few terms then figuring out what is available on the menu won’t be so difficult. You can take a chance and order something you may find to be delicious without hesitating. If the coffee shop is very busy it may be hard for the staff to take the time to explain it all to you. If you need their assistance try to ask questions during slower times of the day.

If coffee seems a bit harsh to you unless it is doctored with lots of cream and sugar, then try a cappuccino. This is a very smooth and great tasting drink you will enjoy. The main ingredients are espresso, steamed milk, and froth. There are also a variety of flavors including French vanilla you can add. There are single and double sizes of cappuccino available at most coffee shops.

The latte has a great sound to it and you will hear those in line before you ordering it again and again. It contains mostly steamed milk with some espresso inside of it. This too comes in a variety of different flavors for you to enjoy. You can choose to have it stronger by getting a double shot of espresso in it.

Froth is what you will find at the top of the latte. You can get it on other types of drinks too if you ask for it. This is a very light and foamy top that tastes delicious. If you haven’t tried it before you are really missing out on a treat. Pamper yourself and order something with froth the next time you get to a coffee shop.

If you are looking for something with a sweet taste, then why not try a mocha. This is where you will find a chocolate taste added to your drink. This is a hit for those who really like hot drinks as well as anything chocolate. You may have to try some different locations though before you find a mocha that you are really happy with the flavor of. They don’t all taste the same though so don’t give up.

An espresso is another term that you will see quite a bit in coffee shops. This is a very strong type of coffee. It is dark and thick and many people order it in order to give them the caffeine they need to get their day going. You will find many drinks in coffee shops have espresso. It won’t be uncommon to see signs that you can add another shot of it too for an additional price.

Now that you know the basics of what you can order from a coffee shop, you can try some new things. You can keep track of what you really like so you can order your favorites again and again. Have some fun at the coffee shop instead of going with what you know is safe day after day.
