Here’s a sports analogy that will really put things in perspective for you…

Just as we promised, Marketing Merge is announcing another all expense paid winner to our Renegade Professional Live Event this weekend.

But first, have you ever read anything more inspiring?

  Go ahead and read a portion from Rana Burr’s all expense paid Renegade Professional Live Event winning essay,

“Nearest and dearest to me, though, is the guidance that I have been able to give to my 13 year old son as he builds his own internet business. Most people would have given up on the idea of him ever being able to support himself financially because of his autism.”

Using Renegade Professional to integrate family into the culture of her home business environment isn’t the only reason Rana Burr was chosen as the second winner of the all expense paid Renegade Professional Live Event.

Rana systematically broke down with succinct clarity how Renegade Professional has enhanced her business with specific and clear results.

What Renegade Professional did for me was to fill in my marketing gaps, making me far more effective and knowledgeable.

The comprehensive training offered here is awe-inspiring. It is also a resource that I can whole-heartedly recommend to marketers of any level.

My further involvement in Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring as a home study student helped me to make huge leaps in my confidence and in my vision for my business.

Here’s what has happened as a result:

1. My upline asked me to lead a small group in developing a lead generation system for our team.

Thanks to the knowledge I have gained through Marketing Merge, I was able to guide them through the process of setting up their own HubPages, Squidoo lenses, and blog posts.

In addition, they are now back-link-building experts, so that our page is #2 on Yahoo for an extremely competitive search phrase, generating multiple leads on a daily basis.

2. I have been able to offer my services to a handful of local business owners that I really like so that they can enjoy online success, too.

This has been extremely gratifying in light of the current economy. Not only have I helped them to stay in business, but I am having fun and making money at the same time!

3. Being involved with the Super Guide program, even though it has only been for a short time, has enabled me to team up on an amazing new project with someone I consider to be a superstar.

  Awesome.

4. Nearest and dearest to me, though, is the guidance that I have been able to give to my 13 year old son as he builds his own internet business.

Most people would have given up on the idea of him ever being able to support himself financially because of his autism.

Thanks to Ann and Mike, I now consider him to be my business partner! He is so good at taking what he has learned and implementing it right away (as opposed to taking notes and adding it to a long list of things to do). I hope everyone will get to meet him someday soon. One last thing.

The sense of community that Ann, Mike, Eric, Didi, and the rest of the team at Marketing Merge have built is incredible

These guys are genuinely committed to seeing everyone be successful.

I especially appreciate how they give their members opportunities to contribute on a regular basis. I don’t think there is another organization like theirs anywhere in the world, and I feel extremely grateful to be a part of it.

Great job Rana! We’re looking forward to meeting you with the rest of the Marketing Merge community this weekend here in Portland, Oregon.

The team here at Marketing Merge is happy that Renegade Professional has produced good results for you. This remains the motivation that keeps us continuing the product and program development that makes Renegade Professional the best training on the internet.

I woke up this morning to find a message from Marie Leonard with an abbreviated version of her winning essay. The word count was 439. It was just as brilliant. But the bigger (and more impressive) issue here is that no one asked Marie to do that. By no means did she have to or need to. It just goes to show what kind of special people we have in this community.

Read her "trimmed" up winning essay below: 

When I was nine, I had to watch over my 2 year old brother while my mum went to town for errands.

Being nine, a little brother was more of a nuisance than a blessing, especially when potty time came around. I had explicit instructions to sit him on his little potty chair and do what was necessary when he was done. Oh joy!

Once I had disposed of the removable pot, I had to extricate him from this contraption. The potty chairs back then had a movable arm that swung down in front of the child to stop them from getting up.

Well, the arm got stuck.

I tried everything. I shook and I pulled and at one point grabbed him by the ankles and dangled him upside down in the hopes that the potty chair would just fall off. No such luck!.

You might be wondering what all of this has to do with being a Renegade Professional.

Well, it wasn't until I became a Renegade Professional that I stopped hanging upside down by the ankles. It was here that I had to take stock of where I had been and where I wanted to go.

Focus, resolve to succeed and confidence that I will succeed, are now my constant companions.

As to what I learned?

Nothing easier with Steve Anderson's insightful Wordpress tutorials clearly describing the funnel effect of marketing. Applying what I learned as a member of the link logic team further embedded in me the importance of SEO done right.

The perks don't stop there, however.

Thanks to Marketing Merge generosity, Daivd Garfinkel, copywriting guru, exploded the lid off Pandora's copywriting box in a 6 week Ultimate Copywriting Course that invariably has become part of my writing style today.

Better equipped with marketable skills, I now feel confident building an SBI site that will deliver the kind of value people are looking for.

However, the knowledge I now have weighs heavily upon my shoulders. I can no longer write just so-so, get by content. It's a matter of delivering value or not deliver at all.

Having achieved super guide status and now participating as a PBN trainer developing the alternative health field is allowing me to give back. I am doubly blessed.

Moreover, participating in the Coaching Cognition course has me ripping away any pretense at faking it. Here is a safety net without judgment. These coaching skills are now an important part of the resume that I bring to the online marketing table.

Oh and by the way, my poor brother had to spend 2 hours shackled to his potty before deliverance came!

Thanks Marie. You really didn't have to do that. You went above and beyond what was expected of you. I guess that keeps with what you were talking about by being able to give back just as much as you feel you are receiving.

Keep eyes posted for another all expense paid trip winner.

For more all the details, continue to read the posts below this one, or follow the link to Renegade Professional News. 

Get a load of this… here is some Renegade Professional News for you…

Apparently, we got so caught up in the brilliance of Marie Leonard’s all expense winning Renegade Professional Live Event ticket essay that we missed something in our own fine print.

Ooops! 

When we invited you to reply at our Renegade Professional News Facebook page with your response for the contest, we specified it should be no longer than 450 words.

We completely lost sight of this when reading Marie Leonard’s winning contest essay because it was so good; so captivating, we lost sight of one thing... It was longer than 450 words.

(Don’t worry Marie, we’ll get you here even if we’re all taking turns pushing you in the wheelbarrow).

Anyway, we discussed this as a team and came to a conclusion.

Some could perceive this as an unfair advantage, and we don’t want that.

We realized that we made an honest mistake, and we want to own up to it.

So we’re going to announce ANOTHER ALL EXPENSE PAID LIVE EVENT WINNER. 

That’s correct. We’re heading back to Renegade Professional News Facebook page to review the essays for one more deserving winner. 

We’ll announce the winner in 24 hours.

Please except our apologies for not reading our own fine print.

With strong core values at the heart of our community, we feel it was important to communicate this to you. Be on the lookout tomorrow, as we announce another all expense paid Renegade Professional Live Event winner. 

Sincerely, 

Renegade Professional Team

P.S. Late Breaking News - I woke up this morning to find a message from Marie Leonard with an abbreviated version of her winning essay. The word count was 440. It was just as brilliant. But the bigger (and more impressive) issue here is that no one asked Marie to do that. By no means did she have to or need to. It just goes to show what kind of special people we have in this community.

You can read this story and receive much more at Renegade Professional News. Follow the link to get more of the "full scoop"  Renegade Professional News

========================================

If you haven’t been keeping up with the Renegade Professional News, we happily announced the winner of the all expenses paid trip to the Renegade Professional Live Event in Portland, Oregon this January 16^th and 17^th during our Ustream broadcast we held at the Marketing Merge office.

To participate, you simply had to go to our Renegade Professional Facebook page and state the ways in which Renegade Professional has made a difference for you.

Over 55 of you submitted essays for us to review. And after reading and re-reading the contestant entries, it was Marie Leonard who clearly stood out as the winner. Her submission addresses the over-the-top value that Renegade Professional and the Marketing Merge community as a whole, has to offer.

And likewise, as Marie so eloquently states in the conclusion of her submission, it’s not that she has only taken all this value to build up her skill set, and therefore realizing that becoming an internet marketer is not a pipe dream, it’s that the value she’s received is allowing her to give it back (in a big way). Marie you get it. You get it BIG TIME!

There were two other winners who won one free admission ticket to the Renegade Professional Live Event. They were Dotty Scott and Angela Arnold. We will feature their winning essays at The Renegade Professional News.

But right now – don’t hesitate – read Marie Leonard’s winning essay. Read every word.

This is some of the best content you’ll read all year not because she gives so much credit to Renegade Professional.

We say it’s the best content you’ll read all year because Marie clearly is using what she has learned, and that is brilliantly illustrated by the copywriting skills she employed to craft this essay. She also integrates humor, which is a great strategy for grabbing people's attention.

And she did! She definitely grabbed our attention, and when you begin to read Marie’s essay, she’ll grab yours too.

Marie Leonard's All Expense Paid Trip to Portland Live Event Winning Essay

When I was nine, I had to watch over my 2 year old brother while my mum went to town for errands. Being nine, a little brother was more of a nuisance than a blessing, especially when potty time came around.

I had explicit instructions to sit him on his little potty chair and do what was necessary when he was done. Oh joy!

Once I had disposed of the removable pot, I had to extricate him from this contraption. The potty chairs back then had a movable arm that swung down in front of the child to stop them from getting up off the seat.

Well, the arm got stuck and here was my poor brother, unable to get off the chair. I tried everything. I shook and I pulled and at one point grabbed him by the ankles and dangled him upside down in the hopes that the potty chair would just fall off. No such luck!

You might be wondering what all of this has to do with being a Renegade Professional. Well, it wasn't until I became a Renegade Professional that I stopped hanging upside down by the ankles. It was here that I had to take stock of where I had been and where I wanted to go.

I became more focused as I applied the lessons learned. My resolve to succeed grew.

If Mike (Klingler)could do it, so could I.

If Ann (Sieg), DiDi (Alcheva) and Eric (Walker) could do it, so could I.

I now feel more and more validated that my decision to become an online marketer is not a pie in the sky dream, but a reachable vision that Renegade Professional has clearly articulated for me.

Attending Steve Anderson's WordPress course was a real eye opener for me. It's not that I didn't know anything about WordPress. After all, I maintain two WordPress sites and do all the technical work myself. No, it's the concept of building a funnel structure that the search engines like, and that sets your site apart from all others that are just haphazardly put together, no matter how good the content.

I could really appreciate the value of that knowledge and have since started to revamp my blogs with that structure in mind.

What helped even further was being a member of the Super Guide program. And within the Super Guide program, being a member of the link logic team. This forced me to really understand the concept fully. As a Super Guide, I was practicing what was being preached!

Moreover, I have now ventured into SBI territory, creating a site that I know will deliver the kind of value people are looking for.

Eric Walker’s latest post to all Super Guides about burrowing down deep and becoming a relative expert/authority on one particular topic, gave me lots of food for thought. I love doing video and so have started a series of videos that will promote each tier of my site.

Along with the specific knowledge I gained on keyword research and linking strategies, I can now easily see how to monetize it. Without the background tutorials provided in Renegade Professional, I doubt if my grasp of those concepts would be as clear today.

Who said Pandora's Box was a bad thing!

That's how I view David Garfinkel's Ultimate Copy Writing Course. As a member of the Super Guide program, I actually received Garfinkel’s course for free. He helped me “blow the lid,” and made it alright to use imagery and feelings in one's writing that captures the audience and keep them wanting more.

It's not that I didn't know that one could not write this way, but what I didn't know was how I could.

He clearly defined the guidelines and even gave us all templates to make the writing process even easier. What a guy! However, the knowledge I took away from this course weighs heavily upon my shoulders now. I can no longer write just “so-so, get by content.” I am now obliged to deliver in an entertaining and value driven way or not deliver at all.

To top it all, taking the Coaching Cognition course has me ripping away any pretense at faking it. It is also providing me with a safety net I never had before. Knowing there is someone there who understands, and to whom I can confide my apprehension, successes and vision with, is too big for words.

It is so huge that I feel compelled to provide the same service for others.

After all, other people feel uncertain and apprehensive too and may need a sympathetic ear where judgment just is not part of the vocabulary.

Again, if I hadn't become a Renegade Professional in the first place, I may never have advanced as far as fast. Being a Super Guide and PBN trainer to boot has allowed me to take, but more importantly, it is allowing me to give back. I am doubly blessed.

Oh and by the way, my poor brother had to spend 2 hours shackled to his potty before deliverance came! Season Greetings to All, Marie Leonard Hope you enjoyed that. Thank you Marie Leonard! You are proof that what we’re doing is working. We certainly are looking forward to meeting you in two weeks here in Portland for the Renegade Professional Live Event

Of course, there is more to Marie's story, the back story as it's called. You can read all about it and also find our other Live Event winning ticket stories at Renegade Professional News.

Interview with Mark Hoverson

"One day I decided to contact Mike Klingler. I had this idea and I was certain it was going to be beneficial for a lot of people. I thought he was going to think I was a little crazy - I spilled out all my ideas. I was pleasantly surprised when I received a reply. It was then that I knew I had to show Mike (Marketing Merge) what I could do..."

Interview with Ty Tribble

Your eyes aren’t deceiving you, but you might want to rub them once more.

I’ll write it another way…

Let’s face it, this internet business building “thing” isn’t always easy. So what better way to kick off 2010 than a free trip to sunny Portland, Oregon to network at the first ever Renegade Professional Live Event (errr … did I say sunny – sorry – not gonna be sunny this time of year).

Okay, so here’s the deal…

I had a conference call with Santa Clause.

He said some of the good folks in our Renegade Professional community have been on their best behavior, and they have earned an extra special gift this year.

(No… it’s not a warm kiss under the mistletoe with DiDi Alcheva – you dirty dog!)

Ann and Mike have agreed to pay all expenses so you can attend our first ever Renegade Professional Live Event this January 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th at no cost to you whatsoever.

Let me spell this out exactly… This means ONE person will receive the following:

• No charge for admission to the first ever Renegade Professional Live Event

This includes two “special” networking dinners with Ann, Mike and an entire cast and crew of “who’s who” from the Marketing Merge team and Renegade Professional community … yes, that includes the entire tab at Friday’s “kick off” dinner that everyone else had to pay $97 for.
• A full day spent with Ann, Mike and nine others behind the scenes at the Marketing Merge headquarters where you can have all of your business questions answered for you.

F.r.e.e is a good price, and worth every penny, eh?!
