Renegade University (RU) contains most of the handholding for the newbie by way of the how-to of using social networks tools and sites like Twitter, but there is strong encouragement to get the Renegade Network Marketer (RNM) course by Ann Sieg. Simply put, RU requires the use of RNM's system in order to make money.
The Pro version will cost you $39.95 per month for additional training and the "incentive" to stay there so that you can capitalise on the affiliate comissions that is provided by the lead generation system found in the RNM course.
Take a step back and you will note that this is Mike's angle is to get recurring membership to his RU programme. A membership site is the Internet marketer's Ultimate Goal because it will generate long term income from subscribers like you and me.
I didn't go any further with buying the RNM ebook nor the Pro version of RU because it does not address the initial hurdles of the newbie or even the network marketers who are struggling.
It may be worth just to invest the $67 to get the RNM course to take a look and if you think what it contains does not jive with you - just return it for a refund.
My recommendation is that you lurk around Mike Dillard's Better Networker (BN) site and ask a lot of questions by joining the community. The objective of the community is to add value and short of teaching you everything, you would probably learn a lot more and get to know everyone in it.
