EDC Gold--A Balanced Review

EDC Gold--A Balanced Review
As a top internet marketer, I have had the opportunity to
evaluate hundreds of different programs out there. Today
we will take a look at EDC Gold. EDC Gold was started in
2006 and the company claims to have paid out over ten
million dollars in payments to their affiliates since they
first launched. This is quite impressive. As I checked out
the home page, however, it does seem that the owners are
obsessed with repudiating various copycat programs and
letting people know that they were the original.

The cost to join EDC Gold is $997 and the entire amount is
paid out in commissions to your upline. The price point is
a bit concerning to me as some people do not have an extra
thousand dollars laying around, thus you have a somewhat
limited clientele to draw upon. However, my experience has
shown that there are still plenty of people available who
can and will be interested in a program such as this. It's
just a matter of finding them.

There is also an ongoing $49 monthly fee that you don't
find out about until after you join. I felt that the
company should have been a little more upfront about this
hidden cost, but understand that this is how they make
their money since the entire $997 start up cost is paid out
in commissions. The marketing plan utilizes the Australian
2-Up pay plan which means that your first two sales go to
your sponsor. I personally find this to be a bit of a
disadvantage as often the first two sales are the most
difficult to obtain, especially if you are brand new to
internet marketing. This could cause your recruits to get
discouraged and quit before they find success. However,
for those who persevere, there is a positive side to the
marketing plan as well as you then are paid the first two
commissions from those who you sponsor.

Once you pay, you are permitted into the back office which
is actually fairly impressive. The owners of the company
give you their own personal phone numbers should you have
any questions. There are also several hours of training
calls available as well.

The product itself consists of over 1000 e-books which you
now have the resell rights to. I found there to be
legitimate value in the products offered, but honestly it
would take months to read everything there. I personally
don't have the time in my daily schedule to read all of
this, and I don't know too many people who do. For those
who have the diligence to do so, however, there is real
knowledge to be gained.

In conclusion, the prospect of making nearly $1000 per sale
might get you seeing dollar signs, but in reality it is not
as easy as it sounds. Internet marketing is like anything
else in life. It takes work, real work. Can you make
money with EDC Gold. The answer is yes, if you do not mind
passing up your first $1994 in commissions, take time to
learn the proper methods of marketing on the internet, and
invest the time to make it happen.

3 Quick Tips For Your Article Marketing

3 Quick Tips For Your Article Marketing
Making Money with Articles:

Picking Articles for Your Niche Site

Pick the articles for your niche sites very carefully to
ensure that you are able to successfully get traffic and
gain profit from these sites. If you are going to try and
utilize free website content articles, then it may be
difficult for you to find ones that have your exact
keywords, so you may have to either make revisions to the
articles (which may not be allowed on some free articles)
or base your keywords on the articles that you find (which
could leave you with very competitive keywords that would
take a lot of time or money to attain a high ranking for).
If you are going to buy content, make sure that you let the
writer know what your niche keywords are and what your
specific preferred keyword density and placement are.
Remember, the wrong articles can leave you with little
traffic and very low search engine rankings if they do not
fit in properly with either your niche or with keywords
that are easy to attain high rankings for.

Making Money with Articles: Optimal Article Length

When choosing an article for your website, make sure that
it is a length that is optimal for search engine
optimization efforts. Articles that are as short as 200
words or as long as 500 words should fit into this
category. Even if search engine optimization is not your
goal, it is still a good idea to keep your articles at this
length for your reader's sake. They are likely to not
finish your page if it is any longer. This could leave them
receiving only half of the information you wanted them to
have or leave them with the impression that your site is
too "wordy". Most Internet readers do not read a website
page as they would a book, so the shorter the better. Even
if this means splitting one long idea into 4 or 5 pages. Be
sure to label them so that the reader can pick and choose
which part they want to read or so they know what is coming
up next to help them determine if they want to continue
reading.

Making Money with Articles: Letting Others Use Your Articles

Let others use your articles, along with your byline which
will tell visitors who wrote it and how they can contact
you, on their website. This will help to promote your own
website and bring you in traffic through the search engine
optimization and promotional efforts of others. For you
this means absolutely free marketing just for writing a
quick article about a subject that you are already familiar
with. The more people who use your article as content at
their website, the more potential traffic you will receive.
These webmasters will probably be using SEO techniques,
banner exchanges, and possibly even a Pay-Per-Click
campaign to get visitors to their affiliate site. These are
advertising methods that either take a lot of time or a lot
of money and they will be absolutely free for you just
because you placed your articles where others could use
them. There are many places on the Internet that offer to
post your article so that others may view and/or use it. My
advice is to place your articles on every single one of
these sites so that you can reach as many webmasters as
possible.

Wealth Magnet System Business Review

Wealth Magnet System Business Review
This article provides an unbiased look at the fairly new
company Wealth Magnet System. It is not meant to sell you
for or against the program. It is simply informational.

The Wealth Magnet System was started by internet marketers
and co-founders Jim Mack and Bryon Howell. It officially
launched in June of this year as a two tier compensation
plan. This article provides a layout of the Wealth Magnet
System business model.

1) The Product

The products available in the "Ultimate Internet Marketers
Showcase" are valued at over $7000 worth of tools,
recordings, softwares, pdfs and manuals. These products
will help you market the Wealth Magnet System program or
any other program that you want to promote. In addition,
there is a complete internet marketing course that will
teach you Affiliate Marketing, Product Creation & Launch,
List Building, Goal Setting, Article and Viral Marketing,
Blogging and much more.

The recordings available to you are from well known
internet marketers such as Stephen Pierce, Corey Rudl,
Keith Baxter, Sherman Hu, Joe Vitale, Joe Polish and many
more.

These products are valuable as a Wealth Magnet System
distributor, but the products alone will not make you
successful. You have to implement the teachings of these
successful people in this or any other program to have the
success that you are looking for.

2) Cost To Join

So what is the cost to join the Wealth Magnet System? Well,
it depends on which level you join. The Platinum Elite
Level is $997 to join, plus a $29 website hosting fee. The
Elite Level is $797, plus the $29 website hosting fee. The
Basic level is $397, plus the $29 website hosting fee. The
website hosting fee is paid monthly.

3) Pay Plan

This is the part that everyone is interested in and is one
of the biggest factors in their decision to choose one
business over the next. With a Basic sale you make $200,
you make $600 on an Elite sale, or $800 for a Platinum
Elite sale. You also make $100 for every sale your
personally sponsored associates make (2nd level, infinitely
wide.) Since Wealth Magnet System is a two tier comp plan
rather than a one up or two up program, you make the
commissions immediately. This creates greater team synergy
as the distributors are never cut off.

So in conclusion, what makes Wealth Magnet System superior
to another company? Nothing. It's all personal taste. What
are you looking for in a company? You have to do your own
due diligence and find out which company offers the best
match to your wants and needs.

6 Keys To Building MOMENTUM In Your Online Network Marketing Business

6 Keys To Building MOMENTUM In Your Online Network Marketing Business
I have people in my organization who have built a group of
hundreds of people in their online network marketing group
in 6 months, and others that only recruited a dozen or so
people in six months. And I think I finally figured out why.

I think the "secret" can be summed up in one word:
momentum. And momentum doesn't seem to be created by
massive effort, "big breaks", or charismatic, flamboyant
personalities. As a matter of fact, from my own experience
I can't find many common denominators between the leaders I
know in the field of online network marketing. There are
men and women, old and young, people from blue collar
backgrounds as well as white collar professionals.

So how do you create momentum? Here are six keys that I
have identified in people that I personally work with, in
and out of my organization:

1. They have a vision of what they want and a plan to get
there. Their "why" is strong. They usually have very
specific reasons that they are building their business, and
they are serious about achieving their goals. They have a
business plan, and act from that plan, which includes their
goals, strategies, and marketing methods.

2. They treat their business like a business, not a hobby.
They are willing to invest in their business. These are the
people that don't complain about the cost of marketing.
They may not have large budgets, but they are willing to
invest $200-$300 a month or more to achieve their dreams.

3. They are consistent. They work their business every
single day, at least 5 days a week or more, where those
that are unsuccessful work their business once or twice a
week, if that. In Jim Collins amazing book, "Good to
Great", he compares building momentum to getting a huge
flywheel spinning. The first push doesn't do much, or the
second or third, or even the hundredth. But over time, if
you are consistent and never leave the task, you get it
spinning so fast that even if you grabbed hold of it with
all your might you couldn't stop it. Building an online
network marketing business is just like that, you have to
give it consistent effort over a reasonable period of time,
usually at least six months.

4. They take 100% ownership of their business. They aren't
waiting on anybody else to do anything for them, they just
dig in and get to work. You will never hear these people
say, "I could be successful if I had a good sponsor". These
people are going to get it done even if they have the worst
sponsor in the world.

5. They are students of the business, constantly learning
and studying. They spend time not only in personal
development, but they are students of business and of
marketing. They also invest a fair amount of time in trial
and error, and discovering what doesn't work to find out
what does. They're not afraid to fail if they learned a
lesson in the process.

6. They are passionate about the products. It's rare to see
somebody create a great online network marketing business
if they aren't really passionate about what they're
selling. These people are not only fans of the products,
they are usually on the "big" autoship and are proud to
talk to anybody about the products they represent.

I believe anybody can activate their membership with a
company they feel good about, and simply apply these six
principles for six months and have success. It's not that
hard, it's just that most people don't understand the power
of consistent effort, with the right attitude, for a
reasonable period of time. So if you want success in the
online network marketing world, just apply these six
fundamentals to your business and get ready for the bonus
checks to roll in!

What's Up With Internet Ecommerce?

What's Up With Internet Ecommerce?
Are you looking to get on board with an Internet Ecommerce
solution? There are numerous options online from which to
choose. Many options offer a turnkey solution that will
supply you with a website, along with products to sell and
support systems included. Some of which are multi-level
and enable you to build an organization (or team) that can
in turn, increase your Internet Ecommerce income.

I've been associated with Network Marketing companies that
offer self replicated websites (you get one like everyone
else but your name is on your site) and have had good
success with most every system I've plugged into. If
you're looking to get involved with Internet Ecommerce and
wish to avoid having to learn how to piece together
"shopping cart modules" or hire a web programmer to program
an ecommerce solution. Then selecting a company that
offers an ecommerce solution built in, is a good way to go.
You will just want to make sure your connecting with the
best one, for what you wish to promote.

Most all of your nutritional and/or cosmetic type
industries (also nick named "lotions and potions") have a
solid ecommerce solution that is "built proof". Meaning
they have all the necessary modules in place, working to
insure your transactions are secure and protected against
potentially fraudulent purchases. With whomever you
select, you will want to make sure their "Cert"
(Certificate of Authenticity) is up to date. On most any
legitimate Internet Ecommerce site you will see a logo or
icon that signifies that the site is protected. There are
numerous qualified companies that offer this 128-bit
encryption. It's my understanding that these encryptions
are next to impossible to hack, making your site much safer
for accepting credit card transactions.

Getting your Internet Ecommerce solution on autopilot is
important to your success. You don't want to be stuck
manually verifying and/or validating credit card numbers.
You will have a processing company that will do this for
you and you'll find it even more beneficial if they have an
interface that will set up an ARB (Automated Recurring
Billing) process as well. It's important that you have an
ecommerce system that will automatically bill for monthly
recurring charges without having to "recapture" your
customer's information again and again.

Just as important is to make sure you're clear on your
companies policies and procedures for canceling or
returning products and/or services, purchased through your
website. Having proper documentations such as a "Terms and
Agreements", "Disclaimers", etc ... in place is a must!
Any solid Internet business site will know to have such
documents as these positioned, for potential customers and
existing clients to read.

Other benefits may come when tapping into a turnkey
Internet Ecommerce offer. Prepared promotions like,
newsletter ads, email campaigns, and banners, all which
point back to your ecommerce site. I have found this to be
quite nifty, do to it eliminates the need for you to have
to spend time creating, preparing and testing your own
marketing materials. This alone can take many hours of
research and development that can tie up a great deal of
your time. Anytime you can utilize marketing aids such as
these, it will help your Internet business to grow. Good
luck with your Internet marketing ventures!
