One membership. Every chapter. 1,200+ ways to grow this year.
In-person and virtual networking, plus stage time at every meeting, a column in the magazine, a seat on the radio show, an author slot in the next book, academy certificates, member-to-member discounts, a mobile app, LegalShield coverage — bundled into one membership.
◆ Most people visit two meetings free before they join. There's no pressure to do it any other way.
What you actually get for your money.
Not a punch list of perks — a stack of reps and platforms most entrepreneurs would pay for separately. One fee covers all of it.
iNETrepreneur Network vs. a typical franchise networking group.
If you've been in a franchise networking room, you'll recognize the right-hand column. Here's the difference, line by line.
| iNETrepreneur Network | Typical franchise networking group | |
|---|---|---|
| Industry exclusivity | No locks — bring whoever you want | One seat per profession |
| Chapter access | All chapters, one fee — current & future, in-person & virtual | A single chapter |
| Stage / speaking reps | Every meeting — commercials, showcases, speaker slots, the radio show | Rarely — mostly referral rounds |
| Gets you published | Yes — the book series, the magazine, the radio show | No |
| Training academy | Series 1–5 + certificates — plus an instructor track | No |
| Ownership model | Independently owned — 15+ years, no franchise fees | Franchised |
| What drop-in fees fund | Charity — the Angel Foundation Fund | Not applicable |
| Bundled extras | LegalShield, the app, member discounts, 20K+ monthly views | Varies — usually none |
"Typical franchise networking group" is a composite for comparison; we don't name specific competitors.
The same friendly rhythm in every chapter.
In person or virtual, the format barely changes — so you always know what you're walking into.
The Global Virtual Chapter runs weekly on a rotation — Week 1: Speed Talks with Dr. Allison Hammond · Week 2: iNETConnect interview with Robert W. Jones · Week 3: the 5-Minute Mastermind with Marc Beilin. Same membership, no travel.
Your first two in-person meetings are free.
Walk in, no commitment. Sit through a meeting, give a commercial if you want to, talk to people. Do it twice. After that, a guest drop-in is $20 — and it goes to the Angel Foundation Fund, not to us.
- First two in-person visits: free
- After that: $20 per drop-in → Angel Foundation Fund
- Virtual chapter visits welcome too
One fee. Every room. The whole ecosystem.
When you join, you're not buying a seat in one chapter — you get every active chapter and every future one, the academy, the publishing program, the magazine, the radio show, the app, and the rest of it. The model is "all of it, one membership."
- Covers all current and future chapters
- Includes academy classes & certificates
- Author-page slots in current book volumes run about $379 — optional, separate from membership
Tell us what you're after. A real person replies.
No automated funnel. No mailing list.
- A reply from someone on the team — usually within one business day
- Current membership details if you ask for them — nothing hidden
- If you picked a chapter, the meeting day, time, and address
- Zero spam — we email you about the thing you asked about
The questions people actually ask before they join.
Is this just a leads / referrals club?
No. Referrals are one of five pillars. The others: public speaking (stage reps at every meeting), business and personal development (the academy, masterminds, certificates), community service (drop-in fees fund the Angel Foundation Fund), and youth. Members get published, get on stage, and get certified — the referrals are a byproduct of a room full of people who actually want you to win.
Do I have to pitch or hard-sell at meetings?
No. Everyone gets a 30-second commercial, and there are showcase and speaker slots — but it's structured stage time, not pressure. No hot seat, no "everyone gang up and pitch the visitor." You speak when it's your turn, for as long as the slot allows.
What if my profession is already "taken" in the chapter?
It can't be. Unlike franchise networking groups, our chapters are not industry-exclusive. Two realtors, three coaches, a couple of insurance people — same room, no lock. The mix is part of the point.
Is "international bestselling author" a real claim?
It refers to Amazon category bestseller status — the industry standard for multi-author collaborative works, achieved many times across the Art of Connection 365 series. On top of that, the books are permanently archived in the Library of Congress and every contributing author receives a certificate of authenticity. We'd rather tell you exactly what it means than let the phrase do the talking.
How big is the network, really?
It's been running 15+ years — 1,200+ meetings, events, and classes a year, 4.9 stars from 333 member reviews, BBB A+ accredited. The reach is regional: chapters across Arizona, California, and a weekly global virtual room. That's deliberate. This is an in-person community with real longevity, not a social-media following — and the in-person part is where the value lives.
Can I just visit a meeting before joining?
Yes — and that's the normal path. Your first two in-person meetings are free. Most people do exactly that before they decide. After two free visits, a guest drop-in is $20, and it goes to the Angel Foundation Fund.
Is there a virtual option?
Yes. The Global Virtual Chapter meets weekly on a rotation — Week 1: Speed Talks with Dr. Allison Hammond; Week 2: an iNETConnect interview with Robert W. Jones; Week 3: the 5-Minute Mastermind with Marc Beilin. Your membership covers it; no travel required.
Two free visits. Then decide with your own eyes.
You don't have to take our word for any of this. Sit in the room, twice, free. Then we'll talk membership.
