Get Over to BetterNetworker, Learn the Ropes, Create Content, Brand Yourself and Connect with Community Members as Part of Your Ongoing Marketing Merge Renegade Professional Training
BetterNetworker.com is a tremendous community full of leaders, experts, network marketers and home business owners. BetterNetworker is also a great place to utilize and practice the "in the field" on-going learning you have undergone as a Marketing Merge Renegade Professional.
This is because BetterNetworker.com is gaining and building momentum as one to the top niche social networking sites. And it's free. Internet network marketers, home and small business owners can add to their learning, and build new skill sets simply by reading the value offered from other people. There is, literally, something there for everyone.
Get Active at BetterNetworker But Be Sure to Get a Feel for How the Community Operates
There are a lot of opportunities to brand yourself and contribute in a very positive way. There are many "big guns" to learn from. It's a perfect compliment to your Marketing Merge Renegade Professional membership.
My recommendation is to start by reading the forums. There you will get a feel for the climate and attitude of the community, the dos and don'ts. Beware, BetterNetworker is full of truly "better networkers" and those who don't follow the unspoken ways and means will be ostracized. Spammers and self-serving jokers will do more harm than good for themselves.
Be Cautious Not to Over-Promote Your Marketing Merge Renegade University Membership
Avoid the trap of over-promoting Marketing Merge Renegade University. Until you establish your credibility and reputation, simply build up a body of content. When you get to the point of creating attraction, then you can tell them about Marketing Merge Renegade Professional.
Here's why...You don't want to brand yourself as "That Renegade Guy or Gal"...assuming that's not the "brand' you're going for. Reread Magnetic Sponsoring because BetterNetworker is built around those concepts. Even the attitude of BetterNetworker smacks of Magnetic Sponsoring.
Reread Mike Dillard's Magnetic Sponsoring, Specifically Chapter 8... "No One Who Bought a Drill Wanted a Drill, They Wanted a Hole"
Remember that Marketing Merge Renegade Professional is a vehicle for internet network marketers and home and small business owners to get where they want to be with their network marketing business, not a business in and of itself.
Instead of talking all about how great Marketing Merge Renegade University is and what there is to offer, take this approach...in chapter eight of Magnetic Sponsoring, Mike Dillard provides the analogy that no one who bought a drill wanted a drill. They wanted a hole. In this regard, no one wants to join Marketing Merge Renegade Professional; they want internet network marketing training so they can build their primary biz (or learn how to generate their own leads).
In this regard, leverage what you have learned from Marketing Merge Renegade Professional without all the chatter and fuss about how great it is.
In fact specifically at BetterNetworker, treat your Marketing Merge Renegade Professional membership as if it was your primary network marketing business.
At BetterNetworker, as at most social networking sites, you must focus solely on providing value to the community without want of something more. You'll find that you have to "norm" with the BetterNetworker community group before you can "form" with the group, (or else you'll "storm" with the group).
