Internet Marketing 101 - My Marketing Story
I learned about online marketing after failing to create a full time income with traditional MLM and home based business programs. After all of my effort over the years, the only thing that was consistent was my failure to make the kind of money that matters.
Because of this painful experience, I was extremely skeptical that setting up a successful internet business, could be possible for anyone just starting out, or for someone that had failed over and over again as I had.
I was also searching for a way to make money that wouldn’t take all of my time, or cost too much to get started. I had already been in numerous home based businesses like Emerald Passport and Coastal Vacations.
These companies offered helpful information and provided websites to assist me with marketing my business on the internet. But what I thought would be a manageable task of advertising my site, soon became a nightmare.
Like many working in corporate America, I needed an additional income producing business that could produce a full time income with part time effort. After spending a considerable amount of time and money I eventually settled upon starting a travel website business, with a company called Coastal Vacations.
So after falling short of my goals with my coastal vacations travel business, I put my business on the back burner and took a few months off to look at how internet marketing really works. I accepted the fact that I wasn’t going to make money with anything online until I learned how other successful entrepreneurs really run their businesses.
I remember thinking: ” If it sounds to good to be trueit probably is” Nevertheless, with no experience and no prior marketing training, I embarked on learning online marketing and promoting my new travel website.
I had hoped that perhaps they had increased their sales training and that my mentor would offer me more support. I came across a website that purported to assist internet newbies with learning the ins and outs of internet marketing. That program was EDC Diamond and at the time EDC Gold. It’s funny because it wasn’t until I did a search for my sponsor on Google that I actually discovered the EDC Diamond and EDC Gold Opportunities.
I contacted my sponsor but he was unable to offer me any additional tools other than the regular step by step instructions that each new member received. Without anyone to walk me thru niche marketing, I was worried that my website would not stand out from the millions of sites online.
After trying to understand numerous internet marketing techniques I had read online, I decided I needed to hire a company to help with promoting my website until I could learn more about promoting a website properly.
So much for the person who assured me that making money was easy online! Luckily when I returned to my computer, the screen that was open showed a link that I had never seen before.
EDC Gold was a new company that had just launched and clearly was demonstrating value to their members. They offered anyone the opportunity to learn internet marketing free before paying anything to join.
The link I found, was literally music to my ears, because it explained that a company called EDC Gold and EDC Diamond offered their training free, for anyone that wanted to learn about internet marketing.
The EDC Diamond organization was not at all concerned on selling me anything. Instead, they actually focused on showing people how the internet works thru their informative training, and let their knowledge and expertise speak for itself.
They did not use any kind of persuasive sales scripts to sell me or anything. They just offered sound advice on internet marketing each week, and it was free to attend for either new or paid members.
I soon discovered that EDC Diamond offered training 7 days a week that could fit anyone’s schedule. So I continued attending the free training with the intention of using their insight for my existing program. I was too skeptical to believe in starting yet another program, and was not about to spend another dime until I knew if their marketing training truly worked. I spoke with a helpful and knowledgeable top earner in EDC Gold that walked my through the step by step system they have in place for new entrepreneurs, but again evaded joining.
Then, I made a sale for my coastal business, thanks to the training I received thru the EDC opportunity. That was when I decided to join EDC Gold. I had finally received the support I had always hoped for and let me tell you, I literally discovered the missing link in all of my former home based businesses.
Because of the unique training that EDC Diamond offers I have found success online. I have written this article review to share my success with others so that others can benefit from the free training that EDC Diamond provides. With the right training and support anyone can learn how to market online.
