Marketing Merge Network

Instructions for Renegade Professionals to qualify as a Super Guide below.

"Be willing to develop your skills and you will climb the ladder of success.  Success is defined here as personal satisfaction from your work, more money than you presently think you need, while others who buy from you truly benefit from the exchange.  Try to avoid THIS unavoidable requirement for success (personal and skill development), and you will continue to toil as you seek the duplicatable system that promises to do it for you, or the short cut that only makes your road much longer and harder."

The Super Guide program is a platform to catapult your business and leadership development process through Internet attraction marketing (for your network marketing, coaching or traditional business that you're taking online)."

--Mike Klingler

Did you miss the article posted last week about the benefits of becoming a Super Guide with Marketing Merge? Here's a link to that article including feedback from people who became a Super Guide the last time we opened up this special no cost business accelerating program.

If you've gone through the tutorials in the Social Marketing section of "Professional" you will know how to do everything that is asked of you to qualify as a Super Guide. 

If you're NEW to "Professional" but feel strongly about becoming a Super Guide, work hard to accomplish the requirements outlined below.  Watch the tutorials in your back office to accomplish what is necessary.  Ask for help from other Super Guides.  Even if you don't make it in time (this time) you'll be ensured a spot in the Super Guides program the next time around.  Climb the ladder starting from where you are now... you'll get to the top with this attitude.

Submit your application as instructed below before March 11th at 11:59 PM PST to apply. We are accepting 75 New Super Guides. The instructions on where and what to submit are included below.

If you submit your application in time but 75 others submit their application before you (who qualify), you'll have a chance to join the next time we open up the program... and you'll already be qualified to join when that time comes.

It is very important you read the information below carefully and submit an application showing you have met the criteria required to join.  If you submit an application that shows you clearly did not understand the instructions, you will have to wait to apply again when the next group of Super Guides is allowed in.

If you need help you can contact any of the current active Super Guides who have offered that help to you (see the comments area at the bottom of this article where Super Guides have offered this help to you). Or, find Super Guides at the bottom of www.MarketingMerge.com and seek those who are willing to offer you this help. Those who have time will help you because that's the nature of the Super Guide program.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Becoming a Super Guide has its advantages. But it also comes with responsibility. As a Super Guide you'll be asked to contribute to our content network, which helps create exposure for Marketing Merge and for you. Consider it a JV opportunity (Joint Venture partnership).  Because that's actually what it is.

There is no cost to be a Super Guide. Your contribution to the content network is your form of "payment" for the training, networking, branding and lead generation opportunities you receive when you qualify.

The training provided in the Super Guides program is reasonably comparable to programs costing well over $10,000. Based on other 'long-term' comprehensive training and mastermind groups in the industry it could easily be priced in the tens of thousands of dollars over the course of six months. But again, there is no cost to participate, as long as you remain as an active member with Renegade Professional.

As a Super Guide you'll be networking closely with other focused students, as well as experienced leaders in the industry. Some Super Guides are more advanced, others are working hard to grow into a leadership role. But the spirit of harmony and the alliances you form will position you with tremendous advantages as you go forward in your business development.

One of the advantages of becoming a Super Guide is exposure.

Renegade Professional is becoming much more than just a great training resource to learn Internet Attraction Marketing. It's becoming a platform where beginner, intermediate and advanced marketers and coaches can grow, develop, and share their experience and 'lessons' with others here.

We're seeking content providers who can add their own training in our back office. With thousands of future leaders and potential clients funneling through our training area every day, there are big advantages short and long-term to being branded here. In the future we will offer to sell your products and training through a JV (Joint Venture) arrangement, if you have proven yourself as a valuable contributor.

The Super Guide program will also help you learn to create such training even if you presently have NO IDEA how you would do that. You could use such training that you create to, of course, brand yourself here and attract clients, or to use as your own product (with a lead capture page or to sell).

The Super Guide Coaching and Referral Program (Including Training On HOW To Coach)!

Another benefit of becoming a Super Guide is the opportunity to join our Coaching program. Here you will receive extensive training on how to charge for your time as a coach (and you'll get hand holding assistance early on with your first clients). If you qualify we will send you paying clients (we have a lot of requests for coaching). I encourage everyone to consider this as a way to monetize (make additional money) as you attract prospects... even if you have no idea right now how you would be a coach -- We will help you grow into that role if it is in your will to do so.

To join this coaching program you must first be qualified as a Super Guide. If you are interested in being a featured coach, we are starting a our first comprehensive training program for newbie coaches soon (to prepare for our Tsunami March/April launch of Renegade Professional) so it will be important you qualify as a Super Guide as quickly as possible if you're interested.

Another benefit of being a Super Guide is to qualify to receive the leads generated through the Super Guide content network. Once you have contributed to the content network over the course of a period of 4 months, you can qualify to enter into the lead rotation and actually receive highly targeted leads that have entered through the Super Guide content links and lead capture pages. This also gives you additional affiliate commissions as those leads upgrade into Professional, or purchase e-books and other recommended affiliate resources. I have given all of my content over to this program and will continue to help develop it to produce leads for our Super Guides.

On the topic of "exposure," as a Super Guide thousands of people will see your picture and name (and content) spread all throughout the Marketing Merge web sites, multiple blogs, Squidoos, and other Web 2.0 content, as well as on YouTube and other video sharing sites. We refer to Super Guides often and will continue to create new and better ways to give you the exposure you deserve for your contributions here.

As you can see, this is a very unique opportunity. After reviewing what is required to become a Super Guide, consider contacting present Super Guides to ask them if it's worth the work and effort. I think you'll be engaged by their responses ;-) You'll find the Super Guides at the website http://www.MarketingMerge.com (scroll to bottom of page and you'll see them there. Hit refresh on your web browser to browse through and view all of the Super Guides currently in the program).

There is one thing we ask if you move forward with the Super Guides. In here, we treat you as a leader whether you feel like one yet or not. What I mean by this is that we expect you to be positive and a team player...to give first before seeking to receive... and to believe in yourself even if you are unsure how to do something. Those are NOT just words or an idea, but something we pay very close attention to and expect.

If you see the benefit of having a platform to get massive exposure, ongoing 'elite level' training, to network with a group of leaders and growing leaders, and to have the opportunity to receive clients, leads and more affiliate earnings, review the criteria and submit your application as described below.

Barbara Silva helps to manage the Super Guides program. She will be assisting us in reviewing the applications. Please be patient as we review them. Give us up to 14 days to update you on your next steps.

I look forward to getting to work more closely with you!

Partners in success,
Mike Klingler

Criteria You Must Meet To Become a Super Guide:

You must have at least 30 pieces of content on the web distributed at different locations.

What constitutes a piece of web content:

Each EzineArticle = 1 piece of content. So if you have 3 ezine articles that is 3 pieces of content.  However, you cannot count more than 5 articles of content at Ezinearticles. So if you have 20 EzineArticles that only counts as 5 pieces of content for the requirement of 30.

Each Squidoo lens = 1 piece of content. So again, if you have 3 Squidoo lenses that is 3 pieces of content. And again, you can't count more than 5 so if you have 20 Squidoo lenses that counts for 5 pieces of content.

Each Hub Pages = 1 piece of content. And just as in the last two examples, you can count up to 5.

If you have articles at Better Networker you can only count 1 piece of content there (must be an article or a blog not a forum post).

If you have a video on YouTube you count each video as 1 piece of content. But no more than 5 pieces of content can count from video and we only count those posted on Youtube for right now (not Revver, MetaCafe, etc).

If you have articles posted at article base or press release sites, these count as 1 piece of content at each location; however it must be 'do follow'--check with a Super Guide if you need help determine what 'do follow' means. Just as before if you have more than 5 different articles at another location like this (let's say at articlebase) you can't count more than 5 from that location.

*A blog or website counts as 3 pieces of content if you have 10 or more articles posted there.  So, as an example, if you have 2 blogs with 10 or more articles that counts as 6 pieces of content.

*If your content has a page rank of 1, 2, 3 or higher, this counts as more content. Here's how that works:

If your content has a page rank of 1, this is worth 3 pieces of content. If you have a page rank of 2,
this counts as 4 pieces of content. Page rank of 3 equals 5 pieces of content.

When you submit your application send us the URL web addresses of each of these locations in a simple numbered list.  If you have a page rank of 1, 2, 3 indicate this in your list so we count this as "more" content. 

Must Show You Are Bookmarking THIS Content:

You must be bookmarking all of that content at bookmarking sites. They must be bookmarked at a do-follow location of your choice. If you need help contact a Super Guide on what this means.

Send us the bookmark site you used, with your username and password so we can view your bookmarks to your content.

Your bookmarks must show you have been bookmarking things other than just your own stuff. If you haven't, you will need to start doing this following 'bookmarking best practices' as taught in the Professional training.  Ask a Super Guide if you need help understanding what this means.

Creating Incoming Links with Proper Anchor Text to the Marketing Merge Super Guide Content Network.

Create incoming links from the same URLs that qualify as your '30 pieces of content' to any of these sites (by following the 'incoming links best practices' mentioned below).

You must have at least one link to a page at marketingmerge.com, marketingmergenetwork, networkmarketingsolved, agloco-blog.squarespace.com, squidoo, and ezinearticle as described below.

At least 1 link from EACH of the URLs you list as your "30 pieces of content" should go to any of the below locations.

*www.MarketingMerge.com

*www.MarketingMergeNetwork.com

*www.NetworkMarketingSolved.com

*www.Agloco-blog-squarespace.com

*www.squidoo.com/network---marketing

Incoming links 'best practices':

Note that when you do this it must be value based.  This means that you do not just link randomly to stuff.  You only choose to link to things that add value to your own content for your audience.  This must be a thoughtful process, with your web visitors in mind... not a means to simply 'game the system' of Google, etc.

Use anchor text that is appropriate when you link to the content above.  Appropriate key words to use should be determined by the key words used in the titles of the articles you're linking to.  You should always link FROM content about the same subject. If you need help with this and other tasks, contact a Super Guide.

*Never link directly to any of the sites listed above that have an * next to them.  On these sites, only link to articles and pages within the sites.  For example, instead of linking to www.marketingmerge.com you might link to www.marketingmerge.com/affiliate-network-marketing or www.marketingmerge.com/funded-sponsored-sponsoring-proposal/affiliate-network-marketing and instead of linking to www.squidoo.com/network---marketing you would link to: http://www.squidoo.com/network---marketing#module10244491  (at Squidoo you can click in the table of contents, which takes you to a specific article on the page--which is what we want you to link to).  If you need help contact a Super Guide.

Additional note added on 8:21 PST Saturday February 21st. 

1. Use the key word MLM in at least 2 of your anchor text links.  It should not just be the word MLM alone but instead something like MLM Lead Generation or MLM Success, or anything that is relevant to the content you are linking from and to, as long as it has the word MLM in it with one or more other words in the link.

2. Also, use the key word network marketing in at least 2 of your anchor text links.  It also should not just be the word network marketing alone but instead something like network marketing lead generation or network marketing training, or anything that is relevant to the content you are linking from and to, as long as it has the word network marketing in it with one or more other words included in the link.

Submitting Your Application

Submit your list of URLs (that represent your 30 pieces of content) along with the URLs within the Marketing Merge content network that you are linking to, plus the necessary bookmarking information as described above.  Include the key words you used when you linked from one URL to another.

Submit this to us through the help desk.  You'll find this by logging into your Professional account and clicking on the help link near the bottom of the page there in your back office.  Then click on Submit a ticket and then Super Guides department. 

Submit your URLs in a word document and attach it to your ticket when you send it in to support. This saves time on the part of the people reviewing the submissions and you'll hear back on your status a lot faster!

Submit your application before March 11th at 11:59 PM PST.

I suggest re-reading the instructions, printing them and seeking help from existing Super Guides in order to advance yourself forward into the program as quickly as possible. 

I look forward to getting to work and know you as a Super Guide JV partner!

Brand New Super Guides Shares Immediate Results (Rewards of Becoming a Super Guide)

P.S. If you need help, seek a Super Guide you can talk with (see Super Guides as instructed above).  Be assertive.  Be a go getter.  Get the answers you need.  Passivity leads to places you don't want to be.  Before you ask a question though, read these instructions more than once... print them, use a yellow highlighter.  Be engaged in the process of listening, learning, understanding what's being asked, and then applying.
