   Squidoo was one of the first places I started posting content, thanks to Mike’s early training videos. I highly recommend people watch these two new Squidoo training videos. As Ann points out, Mike focuses not only on the technical aspects, but the big picture, as well.

   Even if you are pretty technically adept, you should see the value in the kind of methodical training Mike provides, because you can send virtually any one of your contacts into the training and feel confident they will be able to handle it. Mike won’t leave anyone on your team behind, and they will thank you for that.

   Talk about providing results in advance!

   With Ann’s Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto report, Mike’s Twitter training videos and now this Squidoo training video series, people have got enough information to start getting traffic and leads right away.

   The value that has been delivered through this launch has been off the charts and Ann reckons there is more to come…far out!

   This is so good for all us Renegades who are looking to promote this material as a way to generate leads for our businesses.

   It’s fantastic what Mike and Ann have put together, I really do think that Renegade affiliates are very lucky indeed and I so appreciate what Ann and Mike are doing for the benefit of us all.

   Mike, another awesome training series!

   Thanks,

   I have not done much with Squidoo but these videos certainly makes it much easier. Very well explained and I should not have a learning curve at Squidoo. On problem with the video is now I have more work to do.

   Great Videos

   I can’t help but to piggyback Lane’s view regarding Squidoo. It was also the first place I started posting content. Being somewhat of a technical savvy person, at first glance the whole concept of Squidoo overwhelmed me to point where I didn’t like the site.

   However the step by step trainings on Squidoo helped me to overcome being overwhelmed and now I’m very comfortable using it and I can see it’s value. That value I’m referring to is the sheer amounts of traffic that goes to that site daily.

   I can’t help but to encourage anyone looking to get started or further enhance their skill sets, to not only watch these Squidoo videos but take action on them. Don’t worry if your content isn’t perfect, but GET IT OUT THERE. After the first lens it gets easier & easier. Besides you can always go back and edit or revamp a previously published article. I should know because I’ve done just that myself.

   As always thanks Mike & Ann for allowing us the opportunity to learn new skill sets, that we can use to further our businesses.

   Just wanted to let you know that your comments rock!

   You can post on my blog anytime you want because you consistently provide a well-written, well thought out, value-packed message.

   Thanks for your presence here

   Thanks Ann and Mike
   This video on Squidoo is very valuable and shows in step by step how I can create my own Lens. I have tried a couple of times to make a Lens, but this video shows me what I did wrong.
   Very easy to follow.

    Ohhh the memories these videos bring back to me…

    Yes, I too started my internet network marketing adventure with Mike’s Squidoo series. It was GREAT then and it’s GREAT now!

    The thing to remember is to not over think these things. Don’t over analyze your work. Just follow along with Mike and get it PUBLISHED! Then go do it again… and again… and again.

    Do NOT wait for things to be perfect! They NEVER will. Don’t just watch these videos Create a lens right along with Mike. Start your internet network marketing adventure… TODAY!

    What I love about your click-by-click videos Mike is not only the wonderful learning experience, but also the approach you bring to it. Your voice is a pleasure to listen to (so calm) and you sound so patient & you are so encouraging. It’s the entire learning environment that you create that is so special and unique. I may have said something similar before, but each time I see a new training video it’s this ‘total experience’ that I take away with me.

    Like everyone else, I am so grateful that I managed to stumble upon Ann online & then you and your training right at the beginning of my switch to a new career in attraction marketing.

    If I was just starting out these videos would give me confidence that I could start using the internet to generate leads and earn a side income in the process.

    It actually improved the quality of these lessons to show that a pro like Mike gets error messages! When I first started and would see one of those I would worry that I was doing something wrong; that I hadn’t completely understood the process. This can be mighty discouraging.

    I am a member of the renegade system. I have been keeping up with all of the free videos and training. It is great. Is there any way to make sure I get in Renegade Professional & University. I would like a super instructor and will develop and study fast. I am a real estate agent and can spend 3 to 6 hours a day on training and putting our plan together. I am 62, try to live a role model life for others, strive to live up to a high moral and value belief system. I personally know over 500 people who I think respect me (all ages). I have lived an exciting and eventful life, with its ups and downs. I know I have a lot of knowledge to share and give away. I am ready. I would like for a true trainner to get in touch with me. Ann and Mike, thank you both so much. Doug

    Hi Elaine! YES!!! That is why I didn’t cut that part out. I am glad you brought it up.

    We ALL will see bugs, things not work right, as we go down the path of using these Internet tools. Never worry. You are NOT alone.

    Frustration, things not working… not being able to find something RIGHT in front of YOU. I experience ALL of these things EVERY day.

    My understanding of ‘feeling silly’ in front of a computer and feeling like technology is OUT to get you is what drove me to create this style of training.

    Once I realized I wasn’t stupid and that even the techies experience all this stuff (and that the difference was in the way I was responding to the glitches and hard times) I overcame my fear and took off. Then I showed everyone else and saw them take off. THEN I realized the block is not technical challenges… it’s at the emotional level.

    And THEN I realized that the mindset and leadership / personal development type of training I had been doing in the ‘old school’ model of networking was actually needed right here so people get be THEMSELVES and in their comfort zone using this amazing tool.

    If people you respect (leaders even) in the old models of business resist the Internet, it is quite possible they are resisting the same basic fears. Be gentle. We are all human.

    Wow! Wish I’d seen these videos when i first started on squidoo! a great resource, many thanks. I’ll be using the learning in some new lenses I’m creating for a different business (organic beauty products).

    the link is to a lens I built a while ago, it might be of interest to anyone who’s ever had to deal with a difficult person at work (or home)… ? just free, helpful tips.

    Thank you Jo

    HI Mike,

    Just a quick note to say how much I appreciated the recent Squidoo video training.

    It was informative and instructional. I was able to follow you nicely.

    I will mention that, as you stated, there are some minor differences between your video and the actual Squidoo site, but, nothing difficult.

    Thanks again, and anxiously awaiting the release of Regenade Professional.

    I was introduced to the renegade system about a year and a half ago and even though it was informative I was never sure how to implement it. This is a breakthrough for those of us that have been technically challenged in the past. All my years of network marketing have not been successful and very frustrating. This is the answer I have been waiting for and I finally feel as if I can have the success I have been waiting for. Thank you Ann and Michael!

    Mike! It took me staying up through the night to get my blog up, but it was worth it. your squidoo training is SO EASY and you are quite the teacher. yeah!(i was seriously CLUELESS.) I followed all the steps as you were guiding on the video CLICK BY CLICK (pretty flippin amazingly !!!EASY!!!), put my own content in and WALLA. You took the guess work out of it and pushed me to get goin. THis is so much fun. thanks mike. I will leave a link to my blog down below. let me know what you think. THE first step is the hardest.

    Hi Mike,

    You really know how to grab my attention!
    Your training videos are very helpful and you take the time to explain it very well.
    I’m so grateful for these training videos and look forward to many more. Without them, I would be banging my head against my PC
    You have given me great value, Thank You.

    I watched bits and pieces of the training video, because I got the gist of the site pretty quickly. However, if not for Mike I would have never even heard of Squidoo, so I still have to thank him for that.

    I made this lens pretty quickly today, and will go back now to polish it up and start working on linkbacks and such.

    Hey Mike,

    Here’s the deal…my fiance and I just had a baby, and now, six weeks later, she’s really excited about jumping into this industry, making connections, helping ME and overall, just giving more value than she can shake a stick at.

    But I don’t have time to teach her everything, and I can’t always look over her shoulder. She has to OWN her Renegade Professional training (everyone does)…

    …and that’s just it…she does. Last night I found a piece of paper on the kitchen table and this is what it read:

    Week 1 - How I Built My First List
    Implementation - Twitter (ID my “fishing pools”)

    Week 2 - Squidoo Training
    Implementation - Create Lens and create mini-tutorial for Eric’s blog

    Do you know how happy and proud this makes me feel. MY FAMILY IS GROWING CLOSER and MY BUSINESS WILL BENEFIT because of the education that is within Renegade Professional.

    Dude, this is the definition of legacy. I hope you know how I feel about you, and that goes for Kaitlin Rose too.

    Big Time Thanks,

    Eric Walker

    Squidoo and other things with funny names (Twitter?!)can easily seem like one more tech-y thing that will be hard. So we put it off. Big mistake!

    Mike shows so patiently how EASY it is to share your good content this way. As someone who’s struggled for years with tech-y things, this kind of click by click training is like having an experienced friend just sit down with us and show us each step.

    More bravo, Mike! So anxious to see inside the *new* Renegade Professional!

    Ann and Mike,

    Where have you two been all my life? Okay well just the past few years. I have taken in so much from training the past two weeks. I cannot thank you enough for all the free content that you have provided. As well as the paid trainings and eBooks. It all has been money well invested.

    Squidoo is just another important piece to the marketing puzzle. I am constantly in awe of how much I have learned thus far and am really excited about the in depth Renegade Professional training.

    Keep up the great work and I’ll see you both at the top.

    Thanks again,

    Hello Mike and Ann,

    I am so greatful for finally finding someone who really knows what it means for a beginner to learn internet marketing, especially when they are 69 years old…..already lost over $15,000 try to learn from my programs. When I Mike show us how to login to Twitter, I said this guy is for real. No body but NO BODY go step by step the way you do to teach. If that was a true sample of your teaching….this program will be the talk of the internet for sometime to come.

    Thank you for making my dream possible.

    I’ve created a few Squidoo lenses but even going through the basic training over again, I picked up a couple of new tricks.
    As a computer consultant I’ve had several of my clients ask about social media so I sent them the links to your videos and it has really helped them understand the concept. As soon as Renegade Pro opens I’m going to offer them the membership for training - that’ll free up my time to concentrate more on my mlm!
    Thank you so much for all the hard work you have put into these videos!

    While I’m sure the slow step-by-step is great for newbies, I just find it tedious. I have web sites, blogs, squidoo pages, hubpages, and more. What I need is insight on how to actually attract people with these things.

    Comment by Carol — March 17, 2009 @ 2:28 pm

31. 

    Hi Carol,

    I checked out your website and noticed you covered a variety of topics on it.

    From financial planning, to making money online, to dance improvisation, to chocolate recipes.

    I have no doubt you’re pretty knowledgeable in all these areas.

    But here’s what I would do if I were you.
    
    NARROW YOUR FOCUS.

    Go after one specific niche — one target market — and do that relentlessly.

    Leave everything else out.

    For example, I saw you have an aromatherapy page on your website.

    What ailments do people suffer from that your aromatherapy products will help cure?

    You mentioned arthritis, insomnia, headaches, etc.

    Pick just one of these health conditions and focus on it.

    Let’s say you picked arthritis.

    Now the message on your website, blogs, Squidoo lens, should talk DIRECTLY to folks who suffer from this and ONLY them.

    Leave insomnia, headaches, and the other ailments out for now — even if aromatherapy will help out with that too.

    Next you need to target a specific group of people.

    Single moms.

    Baby-boomers.

    Middle-aged parents.

    The list goes on and on.

    Same process again, pick just one of these categories and leave everything else out.

    Focus your message and narrow your niche.

    I cover this in great detail in “The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto” (towards the end of the report) you should check it out if you haven’t already.

    (Although I did notice you were promoting that on your blog too so I’m sure you already have.)

    Also keep in mind, there will also be some tutorials on selecting a specific niche inside Renegade Professional taught by yours truly.

    Anyways, I hope this quick explanation helps you out a little bit — I think it’s what’s holding you back from attracting people with Squidoo, your blog, and website.

    And don’t beat yourself up too bad because I’ve made this same mistake myself!

    Let me know if you make any progress, okay?

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day Mike and Ann,

    You are two born teachers! Your presentation, Mike, was excellent! You have left no stone unturned and your advice, followed verbatim, can only yield positive results for those who choose to do so. For all of your hours and weeks, Mike and Ann, of instructional videos and on-going dedicated work for the benefit of so many people, I say, “Thanks a million, ‘ye’ are The Best!
    A word of caution,”Don’t burn out, we still need you both!”

    Hi Gary, For no apparent reason that I have discovered so far, squidoo has two different formats. I actually recorded video in both formats (yes, poor me — they’re both inside Renegade Professional but we only included one of the formats here. I thought brand new accounts have the format we gave you in the videos here today, and the older accounts have the older view.

    Can you tell me when you set up your Squidoo account the very first time? Was it today or last month or last year?

    Thanks!
    Mike

    Thank you everyone. Again, I am continually amazed by the depth and thoughtfulness of your comments here. It’s unusual to say the least and it means a great deal to us.

    Eric, your description of how Renegade Professional has impacted your family is truly inspiring. I could really feel what you were trying to express and it was a really big deal for me. Thank you for that.

    For those who don’t know Eric joined Professional when we first started and has since become a teacher at all this himself (passing me up in certain areas, which is always fun to see).

    That’s what you’re going to find in Renegade Professional–it’s not just Ann Sieg and I–it’s a growing community of people willing to serve who ‘get it.’ It’s quite a phenomenon.

    Anyway, Eric’s one great example of the quality of people you’ll run into.

    Come to think of it, if you just spend a little time looking through the comments at the blog (here and at other posts on the blog) you’ll find MANY once-students who are now coaches and mentors themselves. You can see it in everything they write and do.

    The answers are all around you. The help is plentiful and the audience will continue to grow (see the Web 2.0 training we sent out last week if you doubt that!)

    Even if you’re brand new… ask around–we ALL were brand new recently! It just takes willingness.

    Mike

    Mike,
    I am on a very tight budget and have been waiting to use my $$ to get in on Renegade Professional instead of purchasing the Renegade Marketing Book..Ann mentioned in a post that this would be ok having a tight budget. Is this still wise?

    Comment by Steve Tenerovich — March 17, 2009 @ 5:06 pm

41. 

    Steve,

    It’s completely up to you. (but if you can’t do both I would still wait)

    Renegade Professional has everything you’ll need to make money and grow your business.

    Having said that, The Renegade Network Marketer will help you understand attraction marketing.

    It reveals the “big picture” stuff that we’ll be teaching you click-by-click inside Renegade Professional.

    This was the big challenge for most people before R Pro came out.

    They read my book, agreed with everything that was said, but when it came to implementation most people struggled.

    The internet jungle was too tough for them all by themselves.

    Now that obstacle has been removed because (as I’m sure you already know) we take people click-by-click through all the lead generation steps.

    Plus, Mike is constantly weaving in the big-picture stuff, (principles I taught in my book) throughout the video tutorials.

    It’s really an unbelievable combination.

    There’s nothing like this on the internet right now!

    I have been following your training faithfully and I must say WOW! I sure with I had access to this stuff a long time ago.

    Just curious though….when the course is actually available for purchase…will we be accessing it on line like the training video we have saw today…or are we going to need something.. like a CD ROM drive?? The reason I ask ..I recently spent a few more bucks than I should have for a marketing course that, so far. I have not been able to use because I do not have a CD ROM drive. I know I should up grade my computer system and will soon….but in the mean time…I have another book mark I do not need.

    Comment by Jack — March 17, 2009 @ 5:43 pm

    Jack,

    Nope, you won’t need a CD-ROM drive.

    It’ll all be done online which is what’s taking me and Mike so long!

    Thanks for the question though, I’m sure other people were wondering the same thing.

    Love the videos guys. Fantastic job. Sorta sad your sharing some of the great secrets. But, thats what we are about at Renegade, putting out information that actually does help networkers. Well at least I alread got a jump on the Squidoo thing.

    The great thing is that your training is so complete that I have every confidence that I can send anyone new to web2.0 to this training and they will get the whole picture. Great job.

    After going though your tutorial I want to cancel an old Squidoo account and start fresh. I can not find how to delete an old account in their faq and help pages. Do you know how to delete an old, and out of date, squidoo account?

    I was greatly impressed by the video content and training which will go some way to helping those making their first Lens.

    As a Squidoo creator I know how long I took to realise just what I had in terms of a marketing tool to create traffic and that’s the primary role for the pages you create.

    Thanks.

    Hey Ann and Mike!

    I’m in the middle of watching your Squidoo training videos and setting up my first lens, and just had a thought that I wanted to share with you guys and anybody else reading.

    I thought initially that the “one-two” punch of big picture concepts/fundamentals integrated with step-by-step instruction were the main ingredients to this killer combo that you guys (Ann and Mike) have going…

    …but I had missed something else “intangible” that just hit me on a emotional level. Through what you two have created here, I don’t feel so lonely about this major paradigm shift in my life as much any more, and I feel that I’m building a relationship with you guys that is based on values and ethics that a person can almost forget are actually a rare thing in this world.

    The internet is a buzzing beehive of energy, information, and ideas, but it is also a very lonely place at the same time. There is still a gap in feeling personally and emotionally connected to it and the millions of faceless, anonymous people who inhabit it.

    I feel that Ann and Mike’s step-by-step training is one of the very few resources on the internet that has effectively closed this gap. I look forward to your training videos, Mike, more for the human connection than the training itself. Your heart and passion for making perfect strangers feel like they are a part of something on the emotional level shines through brightly.

    The thing is, a person just can’t stumble upon quality interaction of this nature very much anymore, such as in the supermarket, from your neighbors, or from old friends who are not doing the same things that you are. If you are along for this internet journey with Ann and Mike, chances are that you have disassociated from other sources of social activity simply because they don’t move your life forward in any big way and can’t relate to what you are currently striving for.

    Because of what Ann and Mike are teaching and doing, I can now combine business/wealth building, self-expression, and the possibility of building real relationships with people world-wide into one non-threatening activity. I feel that you guys provide shelter and hospitality from the internet storm.

    Thank you Ann and Mike for what you have created and how you have opened your hearts to all of us. I look forward to building my wealth, but I now look forward to building emotional wealth with individuals who desperately just want to connect and not feel so alone in trying to find their place in the internet world.

    Take care all of you,

    Patrick

    Wow, just built my first lens on Squidoo, picture and all. Two hours agoI did not even know what Squidoo was! To be technically challenged, how does it look. I am so excited.

    I’ll Show You My Lens…If You Show Me Yours!

    Hi there everyone,

    I figured that seems Mike’s excellent training is action orientated, it would be a nice idea for people to show off their new creations (you are making a lens right?)

    Why not post a link to your lens so we can see your work? I would encourage you to visit people’s lens’, rate them (be nice now) and leave a comment.

    This serves two purposes;
    1. We get to know our fellow Renegades better
    2. We get to help each others rankings in Squidoo by commenting and rating.

    It’s a win/win really.

    Can’t wait to see your lens’!

    Oh, here’s my Squid Lens, http://www.squidoo.com/attraction-marketer-manifesto Be nice now

    Thank you so much!

    Ann,
    Thanks for answering my question about purchasing the book and for being upfront and honest. Seeing that you aren’t pushing something that you know I won’t necessarily need once I get into Ren Professional is a breath of fresh air compared to those that are just trying to get the upfront sale. It’s because of your character & integrity that I’m looking forward to spending my hard earned cash on Ren Pro.

    Hi. I just wanted to do a follow-up post to give my example of why Im glad and sad that Ann and Mike are sharing this little gold mine with you guys. Honestly, it’s great because the internet is such a vast resource with pleanty of room for all of us.

    My primary company is Max International. If you know Max you know our primary product is MaxGXL and it’s a patented glutathione accelerator supplement. So I focus on providing information about why someone needs glutathione. So Here’s my example….Go to Google and search for “what is glutathione and why do we need it” or “why do we need glutathione” or just “do we need glutathione”. Look at #2 on the results page (called the SERP) and you’ll see a squidoo page listed for all those search terms. Guess who’s that is??? Yep…me. You cant beat that kind of FREE advertising folks.

    Listing to what they are teaching you. I tell all my networker friends the same thing. Please please please stop promoting just a replicated website.

    Ann and Mike, what more can I say but you are great people. I feel that I know you after all the tools you set for us to read or listen. Thank you soooooo much! This is so great. After all those months of reading and listening to videos I can finally put my mark. I had no clues how to begin. I have the will but like Mike says so well ”I was crippled in front of the big machine”. I now have my first article out there and looking forward to learning more. You guys are beautiful ”thank you” is not even a word that describes my feelings. Yes I have more questions but I know that I will soon have the answers. See you in the next video.

    Hi Lorraine,

    I checked out your Squidoo lens, way to go!

    I was very fascinated by your story about how you now stay awake through the day, looking forward to reading the next part of that story :).

    I just wanted to say thanks heaps Mike and Ann for making this very significant skills based training tool available FREE so that many people can get to experience it first hand. I followed Mike’s Squidoo training today and set up my first lense without any glitches at all. I am sure there will be many more to come. I am incredibly impressed with the logical process and clear communication used by Mike in this training tool. This makes the tool highly valuable for people of all levels of skill and experience. For a network marketing leader like myself, it means I have access to a fantastic resource that I can confidently recommend to my team and to my prospects. It is such a pleasure to engage in some real skills based coaching for network marketers. Your training is just so much more than the often very general information network marketers are subjected to which usually leaves them wondering what to do next. Thanks for your part in taking network marketing training and coaching to a whole new level and bringing it into the real world of business skills and competence. I have no doubt that demand for Renegade Professional will be high and I sure hope both myself and some of my team are amongst the lucky ones to get into the program!

    It’s was Mike’s Squidoo training that got me started in Attraction Makreting and ultimately led to a widely successful online business.

    I had all the books and the fancy courses but what I needed was a patient teacher to “take me by the mouse” and show me click by click how to get my Internet Real Estate set up.

    Thank you Mike and Ann for your training, patience and inspiration. It’s exciting to see a wider audience is now benefiting from this as I have.

    Thanks for the videos, Mike.

    @Steve, your Attraction Marketing lens is great!

    I just published two lenses myself, after watching Mike’s videos.

    Here they are:
    7 Simple Secrets of Attraction Marketing

    How to escape the Rat Race

    My challenge is how to actually get traffic to these lenses now. Squidoo suggests promoting them - but that feels counter to the leverage we’re trying to create here. The idea is for the lens to work for me, not the other way around.

    Anyone have success in getting traffic to their lenses? Can you critique mine? Thanks!

    Hi, I just wanted to thank Mike for his click-by-click video, which has allowed me to set up my new squidoo account. I don’t want to repeat everything that everyone else has said, but I just wanted you guys to know that you have encouraged me to stick with my network marketing business. I’ve been in it, not for a very long while, but I found the concept of making a list of everyone I knew, and calling them up very daunting, and I always wondered if there wasn’t a better way to do it, other than what the company leaders suggested. I was soooo excited when I heard about Renegade Professional, because it seemed more like something that I would be comfortable doing, and which made sense. I’m from a small island in the Caribbean, and this way allows me to reach a much larger and wider market, basically on a global scale, and I thank you guys very much for this opportunity.

I am definately going to keep my eye out for more from you folks and again Thank you for the fantastic video!

    I can only say my, my my… The videos speak for themselves. The value that’s wrapped in those videos is truly amazing.
    I can remember when I wrote my first Squidoo Lens. I actually didn’t know what to write about until, I listen to Mike’s message more in-depth. Then I knew, what I was learning had great possibilities.

    Thanks Ann & Mike

    Mike, Just got done setting up my first Squidoo lens. Your click by click tutorials are fantastic. I myself am not “technically challenged”. However I find it extremely difficult to come up with good content because I have a hard time expressing what I want to say in writing. I am anxiously awaiting the release of the Renegade Professional so that I will have the necessary tools to overcome this obstacle.

    Hey Bolaji,

    I checked out your lenses (always wonder how to spell the plural), far out…they are super cool! I love the images that you use but also your content was very engaging…totally awesome.

    I’d probably sneak a link to your website here and there. Tiffany Dow once said that Squidoo is like a slippery slide to your main site.

    There’s no doubt you have a flair for writing, good on you!

    I would make some of your pictures live links to The Attraction Marketers Manifesto page too, they just seem so click-able. Here’s a short lens that some guy made about how to do that, very handy to know - http://www.squidoo.com/imagelink.

    I’m looking forward to seeing more of you work, thanks for sharing!

    Thank you, Mike.

    You have a very nice, easy, re-assuring teaching style. You make people who are just beginning feel so comfortable that I’m sure anyone will be able to get started. You also make your videos as if you were talking to just the viewer–this is a rare talent and you do it very, very well.

    I am not overwhelmed by the technical end of getting things like Squidoo started, but I will recommend this to anyone I meet who is.

    I look forward to the next steps–where you address how to really use these tools completely. I know that it is not enough to just make a lens (I did that and have had 0 views!). I must make a lens so people find it and I must promote it. Since my first lens did nothing, I still have a bit of disbelief that my lenses could generate leads for me. There seems to be some “trick” that I didn’t get about Squidoo.

    Thank you for your videos. Keep ‘em coming. Thank you.

    Hi Mike and Ann,
    Thank you so much for the Suidoo training. It is
    just what I need. Unfortunately my Internet
    connection went AWOL while I was watching Part 1.
    I have enough Internet savvy to set up my Squidoo
    account. Hope to have my Internet back soon so that I can go back to create my first lens. This training is invaluable. I pray that I can get into the Renegade Professional program.
    Thank you again for all you do.

    Hi Ann and Mike,
    Have been following the comments with great interest and congratulations to all those who have made their first Squidoo lens or in some cases multiple lenses.

    This is more a message of encouragement to those who haven’t quite got a handle on it yet. Believe me when I say, I know how you feel.

    It can be very frustrating and annoying when you read comments like - “Yipee, Wow and Yahoo, I just made my first Squidoo lens and it only took me 15 minutes, my next one I’ll try to do in 10 minutes.” and here you are still trying to figure out how to get this Squidoo thing happening.

    Watch the Squidoo training video again, just “pause” the video and take notes if you want to. This is the great thing about these training videos. You can watch them over and over again until you do “get it”.

    Take you time - everyone learns at a different rate. The world will not fall apart if you have not built a Squidoo lens today. Set yourself a goal to have a lens set up in “x no. of days” and then you can Wow your family and friends with this new talent of yours!

    I knew very, very little about computers before I started promoting Ann’s Renegade Network Marketer a couple of years ago but with lots of help from great people like Steve Anderson and Mike’s video training I now have a website, blog, Squidoo lenses and niche market websites.

    My teenage boys can’t believe it, they ask me for help on the computer now!

    Go the Newbie Squidoo people!

    Ann and Mike…How does a Deaf person access your video’s and other helpful offers you have when they can’t hear the spoken word? Will you have written transcripts to support a Deaf person to learn all these things you are sharing with hearing folks on your list?

    Sign language is great to reach out to the Deaf Community but is only limit to the country of that person as Sign Languages vary from country to country like different spoken languages.

    I find your written transcripts are a great way for educating the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in this field if they understand written English like I do. But as soon as anything with sound is introduced for educating then I am cut off from any further learning. Have you thought of ways to overcome this communication barrier for people like me?

    I enjoy learning and hope something good in the future will come out of all this learning.

    Cheers

    Any ideas.

    Hi Ann and Mike,
    First, thank you for your excellent training! We have been in network marketing for exactly one year and have a fairly good sized team. We discovered The Renegade System and Renegade University in February, 2009 and shared it with our team at the beginning of March. Today, one of the guys on the team sent me an e-mail with “Yippee!” in the subject line. After Mike’s Squidoo training, Emilio’s very first Squidoo lens made the first page of a Google search for “proficient internet marketing.” We are all so excited for him and grateful to you.
    Thanks!

    I spent several hours reviewing your Squidoo training videos. However, Squidoo would not let me put anything on my lens about Efusjon Energy Drinks (the Efusjon Energy Club). We are the fastest growing network marketing company right now is this depressing economy. I want to get the word out to others about this amazing business opportunity, but somehow Efusjon has bee reported as abusive/spam. Although, there are other network marketing distributors advertising on Squidoo (e.g., Melaleuca, Herbalife, etc.) And, there are about 3 Efusjon distributors on Squidoo…but, again, I can’t take advantage of this incredible tool you guys instruct on. Can you help me understand this? I appreciate all you have taught me thus far - you, and your organization are AWESOME!

    I’ve been using Squidoo for about three months to drive quality traffic to one of my sites.

    The other perk of Squidoo however is that I’m now getting some sales via the Amazon module!
