Infinity800 launches with a bang, but will it fizzle like the rest?

Infinity800’s founder Jason Pearson’s products have assisted me in tremendous ways. In fact his simple methods took out the mystery of internet marketing and helped me form a solid – workable plan to achieve the results I was looking for.

But will his Infinity800 deliver the promise that many marketers are claiming on YouTube, Google, and free-press-release.com?

It depends really (I know a cop out answer). I not here to sugar coat of hype up any program. So here’s the deal…

I first heard of Jason Pearson nearly 3 years ago when he launched his first affiliate program – PerfectWealthFormula (PWF). I purchased his product with the intention of learning new internet marketing strategies – and I did.

I’ve watched and listened to Jason for the past few years. In fact, a few months back I had him on my Home Business Traffic Masters call to talk about the power of Article Marketing and Press Releases.

Does Infinity800 have a real product?

If Jason Pearson Infinity800 puts together a product like I know he will, he’ll provide top notch real world strategies and techniques to build your business.

In fact I have had the opportunity to peak inside the back office of Infinity 800 and can say that there is some value there… FOR those who choose to apply what’s being taught.

You see, many people will join an online money making program like Infinity800 and never “take the plastic wrap off of the cd’s” or even crack open a book – how can one stand a chance of creating an income without first learning HOW?

That’s where I believe that those who choose to apply what Jason Pearson is teaching will stand head and shoulders above those who are just buying another business opportunity.

So Will Infinity800 be a HOT business opportunity for a long time?

It’s important to know that programs like Infinity800 will be here today and fizzle out in about 6-8 months. Doubt my words? Here are a few systems and income programs that have come and gone in the past few years (get ready for a reality check):

-1StepSystem.com
- ProfitMasters.com
- Prosperity Automated System
- Jaguar Marketing System
- Reverse Funnel System
- Perfect Wealth Formula
- Easy Daily Cash
- Roadmap to Riches
- Wealthy Marketer
- Cruise to Cash
- Abunza
- Global Abundance Program
- Passport to Wealth
- Craigslist Masters
- and the list goes on and on and on….

While Infinity 800 will create a lot of income right NOW for the members who already know how to market – this will surely pass. And when you refer back to this post in one year from now, you’ll begin to see the cycle of the ‘online money making programs’.

So what can you do to take advantage of these trends, systems, and programs?

LEARN HOW TO MARKET!

Here’s the bottom line, if you want to learn marketing in a hands on way by tapping into a system that can help you get your feet wet – then go for it.

Jason Pearson gets a high recommendation from me. Just don’t count on the $540 payments to sustain you forever – you’ve GOT to discover a way to build YOUR business long term.

Cash Gifting Review | The Truth About Cash Gifting

Are cash gifting programs legit or will the IRS be showing up at your doorstep with cold metal handcuffs with your name on them?

If you or someone you know is involved in the activity of cash gifting stop and read this whole message.

In this special cash gifting programs review you’ll discover:

• what is cash gifting
• who is involved with cash gifting
• who is being targeted
• Is is really different from marketing a business with a product?
• Is it an illegal activity, and Finally
• what you need to know before you consider a cash gifting program.

This cash gifting review started of by simply asking a few probing questions amongst my marketing friends a few weeks ago.

Since I’m the owner of ProBusinessReviews.com, I figured that this would
be fitting for me to do serious research on the subject of cash gifting.

The moment I started,  I’ve been searching HIGH and LOW reading articles, following heated forum debates and getting feedback from a few marketers that happen to have legal backgrounds.

One thing is for sure, the pro cash gifting crowd is very passionate about what they do.  During this review I’ll be covering various angles and providing you thoughts & information that you need to have in order to make a fully informed decision.

Disclaimer:
Now, I’m not a lawyer.  Nor do I have a legal background.  Heck I didn’t even complete college (i’m just a successful marketer who has studied the art of internet and direct  response marketing). I say this because ANYTHING that I share in this report is just my personal findings and views.  I’ll provide you with links and information for you to do your own due diligence on cash gifting.

So What is Cash Gifting?

Cash gifting alone is the act of giving a cash gift.  There is nothing illegal about giving a gift of cash.  You and I have received gifts of cash all throughout our lives on birthdays, holidays, and special occasions.

Who is involved in cash gifting.

The question now is who is NOT involved with cash gifting.  I just received ANOTHER email from a top marketer on YouTube stating that HE’S now involved with it.  It seems that people from every walk of life is involved with Cash Gifting (or Cash Leveraging as many of the internet gifters call it).

I use to think that strange people only were involved, but in the past few months so many people have been partaking in this activity that I can no longer say that — because some of them are my marketing buddies.

If you’d like to see some brilliant marketing systems just have a look at some of the cash gifting marketing systems and programs available (just google the names)

Who is being targeted for Cash Gifting Programs?

Is Cash Gifting REALLY different from marketing a
traditional business opportunity or product?

The truth is the process of marketing is the same - at least the next generation of cash gifting programs.  And that’s why some of the marketers I know have involved themselves with Cash Gifting.  The process is drive targeted traffic to a website, collect a name, email address, and phone number - follow up via phone and email - invite to an overview call - close the prospect.  (sounds like business activity to me.)

And then there are cash gifting programs who use automated marketing systems - which appeal to people’s lazy side - sad but true.

Is Cash Gifting an illegal activity?

Ok, here’s where ALL the controversy begins.  This is probably what YOU wanted to know and what the nay-sayers and advocates are willing to spar about.  Cash Gifting is definitely a gray area. The IRS tax code that I referred to above has to do with TAXES.

It doesn’t necessarily have to do with the legality side - for that we’ll have to check in with our State’s Attorney General AND the FTC (Federal Trade Commission).   This doesn’t come out and talk about the “1-up Cash Gifting Programs” but has some insight about the subject: FTC on Cash Gifting

1. Gifting Clubs
   This type of club often originates in communities and churches and is a classic pyramid scheme where most of the new money rolls up to the person who started.  It’s 100% dependent on NEW people coming in to sustain itself.  You can learn more about these types of gifting clubs at the FTC website above.

   The next type of gifting scenario is:

2. 1-UP Compensation plan
   The 1-up compensation plan is similar to the Aussie 2-up comp plan.  Simply put you pass your first sale up to the person who brought you into the business.  It’s designed to create leverage for yourself down the road when you have recruited a small team and they start to do the same.
   Other top tiered (legitimate) direct sales businesses use this compensation plan.

Pyramid Schemes are illegal.  Most companies who use a 1-up compensation plans are legal.  Not all, but most. (example: Prosperity Automated System was shut down in 2006 by the SEC)

This is where I’ve had a difficult time finding actual governmental documentation.  The only “words of wisdom” that I’ve found come from the website of the FTC:

“Consider that a legitimate gift has no strings attached and is not an “investment.” Avoid being misled into thinking a gifting club is legitimate because the ads say that members consider their payments a gift and expect nothing in return. This is an attempt to make an illegal transaction look legal.”

At this moment I’m going to ask you to click over to a fellow colleague and friend of mine, Robyn Reiken.  She is a retired attorney and provides some common sense knowledge (NOT legal advice) on the subject of cash gifting… Here’s what Robyn has to say:

Is Cash Gifting Legal or is Cash Gifting a Scam?

If you didn’t read Robyn’s hubpage, here’s probably the most common sense thing she says:

“THE Reason that “Gifting Programs” are illegal is this: By definition: A “GIFT” is money or services or anything of value which is given freely with no expectation of receiving anything in return.

The Fact that you and everyone you promote your “gifting business” to signs a piece of paper stating that they are freely giving a gift and are expecting nothing in return DOES Not MAKE IT A GIFT. The Fact that you sign a piece of paper that states that you are not engaging in a business does not change the fact that you are engaging in an activity with the express purpose of making a profit which is by definition a business.

I hate to be the bearer of cliches, but if it looks like a Duck, and walks like a Duck, and quacks like a Duck….signing a piece of paper that declares it a Cow does not make it so.”

Thanks Robyn for some wonderful insight between the difference of a duck and cow

Ok, by now you might be saying:

“Gee Seth, I thought this was supposed to be an objective review?”

To that I would say

“Yes, it certainly started that way”

As I began to do my own research I began to piece together information that leads to an undetermined conclusion.

Why would someone promote cash gifting
rather than a business with a real product or service?

Many marketers who have fine tuned their skills over the past few years have turned to cash gifting because they realize one thing.  The product doesn’t make a difference in the response rate of their marketing.

As long as the marketing is good and the system is converting “who cares what the product is…”  - at least that’s what the people I’ve spoken with have said.

I don’t agree.  I believe the product must absolutely bring value to the marketplace in order for a business to thrive long term.

Why are so many turning to cash gifting at this time?

Here’s the deal.  Currently in America and other parts of the world the economy is currently in a major slump.  I’ll withhold most of my opinions and thoughts as to why this is, but the fact is people are scared.

They are looking for a way out of their situations.  When people get desparate they tend to do things with an irrational mind.  The fear DRIVES them into an action which they think will be beneficial.  Or worse, they attempt to throw money at a problem in hopes of providing a quick fix to years of bad finiancial decisions.

This is not just cash gifting, but business opportunities in general.

The marketers in most cash gifting programs know this - they write their adcopy to turn up the pain and persuade you that ‘the offer’ will solve all of the readers financial worries - when the truth is you must get HONEST with yourself and take a HARD look at your life, your patterns of behavior (positive and negative), and seek help.

I’m not talking about a phsycologist or counselor.  Probably the best help would be a life coach or business coach.

The bottom line is people are turning to cash gifting to ‘cash in quick‘.  The success numbers will be no different than joining a business opportunity.

IT will not be “easier”.  The only thing that you may have going for your program is a kick-ass marketing system.  But even the best marketing systems will eventually fade and go away.  (that’s why personal branding is SO important).

Guess I went off on a little tangent. End of rant.

What you need to know before joining
a cash gifting program.

1. Do your COMPLETE personal due diligence.
   Every states laws vary.  If I were to consider joining a cash gifting program I would first contact my State Attorney General.  Then I would contact a local attorney who has experience with cash gifting or network marketing (not saying that network marketing is anything like cash gifting, just saying that an qualified network marketing attorney may be familiar with cash gifting programs since often times it attracts the same crowd.)
2. Find a Marketing Mentor
   If after doing your due diligence and are ready to accept any risk - find a marketing mentor.  Marketing your cash gifting program is NO different than marketing a travel business opportunity, mlm company, or high tiered product.

   You MUST brand yourself for long term success.  Finding a mentor who has successfully branded their self AND has taught others to do the same.  These mentors may hold weekly webinars and have a training site where you can turn to for education.

3. Follow your gut
   If there is a “check” in your gut about joining a cash gifting program - WAIT.  Don’t do anything in the spurt of the moment.  Especially if you NEED an influx of cash yesterday.  Take your time and make a decision based on logic rather than emotion.

   Once you make a decison - that is the time to turn up the emotion and REALLY get involved in what you’re doing.  Us entrepreneurs lead with our heart - we’re passionate people.  We just need to make sure that we use our brain in accordance with our heart.

Cash Gifting Resources for further education.

In my research I dug up more resources than I can share with you - that’s why I did this cash gifting review.  Here are some of the notable and reputable sources I’ve found.

• Cash Gifting Watchdog
  A highly informative site that I came across at the tail end of my research.
• IRS Tax Code regarding Cash Gifts
  This is the section which virtually every cash gifting program refers to.  Read the WHOLE document and see for yourself if what you are doing qualifies as legal under this code.
• Rod Cook MLM Watchdog
  This site provides quality credible information about our industry. Rod is well known and has a plethora of experience.  Don’t be fooled by his amateur looking website.
• FTC’s Article about Cash Gifting Clubs
  This doesn’t specifically talk about the “1-up” comp plan that most cash gifting programs follow, but contains some common sense knowledge that you should read before committing to any such cash gifting program.
  and to be completely fair, I’ve included this video from a live caller contacting the IRS:

  (just remember that a gift is a gift with NO expectations
  of a return or obligation.  Can you say that when you JOIN
  a cash gifting program you have no prior expectations of
  receiving ANY gifts in the future??? food for thought)

Final thoughts regarding Cash Gifting.

• I do not personally believe that the majority of those involved in cash gifting programs are a scam artists.  Some of my marketing friends are some of the best people you’ll meet and they do really support their teams with quality training and mentorship.  They truly want to see you succeed in your online marketing efforts.
• Cash Gifting is not for me.  I know people who swear by it and say that it converts better than anything they’ve been involved with.Again, my level of comfort with cash gifting as a way to make a living is not there.  Based on MY research and due diligence I could NOT consciously pursue this activity and potentially place myself and family legally at risk. (not to mention my reputation)
• If you are TRUELY looking for a way to create an additional income on the internet - then the best place to start would be getting educated in the art of marketing.Marketing is what drives any business (that’s why cash gifting is so appealing - smart marketers are packaging the presentation in a way that appeals to those who are looking).
• So get educated in marketing.Those who succeed in this fun business of internet marketing are those who have invested in their education.  You can’t become a master builder of homes without LEARNING… same applies here.

Thanks for reading this extensive review.  I welcome your comments and thoughts below. If you have an opposing view PLEASE post the information that reveals clear evidence of the legality of cash gifting from a markeitng / business standpoint, PLEASE post for all to see.

I’m not claiming that I know everything, I’m simply sharing my findings on the subject of cash gifting and cash gifting programs.

Guru Cruise Review: Scam or Legit?

Is Guru Cruise another hyped up income opportunity or is Guru Cruise a legitimate way to create income online.

I’ve received a few emails from marketers like Chris Campbell, Darren Gaudry (shocked about his involvement), and a couple other people. My video review pretty much covers everything you need to know about Guru Cruise.

My bottom line opinion… Guru Cruise is a hyped up income opportunity in which very few will succeed. It’s disappointing to see this launch because it represents - in my opinion - where the industry has gone.

It’s time to get back to the basics - which is developing STRONG marketing skills that leads to building quailty relationships with your prospects and database. The new era of business is upon us. I’m writing a report right now called Home Business 3.0.

===============================
Seth’s “take” on My Internet Business

My Internet Business has been brewing since the beginning of 2008 when rumors started to fly about Darren Gaudry and his team’s new company. Direct Sales businesses pop up routinely about every 2-3 months.
However there is typically only 1 that stands out for the year.

In 2000-2003 it was Coastal Vacations
In 2004 it was Liberty League
In 2005 it was Emerald Passport
In 2006 it was Prosperity Automated System (not good)
In 2007 it was Global Resorts Network and LifePath Unlimited…

I believe in 2008 the company most remembered will be:
My Internet Business

I’m currently NOT a member of this company, but from what I can see they do have some of the ingredients for a successful company and online business opportunity.

I’ll cover the essentials and then give you my opinion

================================
My Internet Business Product Review

At first I thought the product was going to be another common PLR (private label rights) re-brand. Some of the ebooks CAN be found for less than the suggested retail price, but the ebooks are not the same-ole’, same-ole’ that you would find with EDC Gold, Passport 2 Wealth, Roadmap to Riches, or even the Abunza.

There are over 50+ audio interviews with experts
like Brian Tracy, Robert Allen, T. Harv Eker, John Milton Fogg, Mark Victor
Hansen, Michael Losier and many more. These interviews are not sold anywhere
else… (at least not from what I’ve seen)

The physical product that My Internet Business
offers is a board game called NetMillionaire Training System - ( I’ve owned this
game LONG before My Internet Business).

Travel Club Product
It took some research to find out what the heck
the the Travel Club Product was all about. Here’s the scoop… Most likely these
are travel certificates that are similar and offered by Coastal Vacations,
Abunza, or Cruise to Cash. There are certain limitations and restrictions to
using these certificates. By the looks of it My Internet Business is only
working with a select few offers - probably to ensure it’s members a joyful
experience.

These certificates can be found online almost
anywhere HOWEVER it takes due diligence to find the one’s that are worth the
time to book the vacations. And it looks like Darren Gaudry and his team have
narrowed down the offers to only a few select trusted vacations.

The question still remains… Is there true VALUE in the My Internet Business product?
Well… Yes and No, It Depends, and Maybe… How’s that for an answer?!

The truth of the matter is that EVERYONE has different opinions. I could easily say that I can purchase all of these products (or similar one’s) separately for under $1,000. (and I probably could)

But how much TIME would it take me to find the right products that have good information, interview 50+ elite entrepreneurs (good luck), research the right travel club certificates (hoping to land a hassle free & decent deal), and put them together all in one place?

That’s what I look at.

So the value… It is STILL in the eye of the beholder.

================================
The Compensation Plan

The compensation plan is pretty straight forward. Anytime a sale is made, 2 people get paid. There are no passing up ANY sales commissions. Overrides are paid when your front line team members make
sales as well. THIS IS A MUST now-a-days. This ENSURES that your sponsor will be
around to help you out. Here’s a breakdown of the commission payouts and
overrides:
Bronze: $300 + $100 overrides
Silver: $700 + $150 overrides
Gold: $1500 + $300 overrides
Platinum $2000 + $500 overrides

================================
Marketing System

The only marketing system available right now is
username.myinternettour.com which is $59 per month. This is a “steal” compared
to other systems on the market going for $149 and $299 per month.

There maybe other systems coming that brand
various My Internet Business teams or people in the near future. It always
happens - which is good.

Although this system seems pretty complete with
the video tours by Darren Gaudry, the ad copy, presentations, movies, PLUS the
personal bio page - the only thing necessary to differentiate yourself might be
a new lead capture page with YOU on it.

================================
My final thought on My Internet Business

My Internet Business will probably be the direct
sales business opportunity to remember for 2008. It’s still to early to tell,
but I’ve seen enough companies come and go in the past 4 years to be able to
predict which one’s will HOP and which one’s will FLOP.

Darren Gaudry was the owner of Passport To
Wealth which has done very well. I believe that he and his team will take My
Internet Business to new heights.

This wouldn’t be a complete review without a few cons.

Well here they are:

• Product is not a consumable
• The complete product probably wouldn’t sell
  separately from the business opportunity. Especially not for $2995
• Most will never use the digital products or
  vacations

There is NO perfect business. Just about every company has some drawbacks to it. That’s just how it is…

Here’s what I like about My Internet Business:

• Well thought out system
• Compensation plan rewards team work
• Very little hype in the message, yet hard
  hitting ad copy
• Complete internet marketing training with videos and tutorials
• Optional Professional Business Assistant
• Low monthly cost for system ($59 per month)
   
• Multiple entry points. ($495 - $2995)

.If you like My Internet Business…
If you’ve finished your My Internet Business review and would like to sign up, I’d recommend signing up with (to be determined). Call me for a referral. I have not officially endorsed anyone - still doing my research. But I can lead you in the right direction (Call me, Seth at 425-271-3134)

=========================
Finally remember that:
Desire WITHOUT Discipline = Depression.

It doesn’t matter how good the system, product, company, or comp plan is… if you don’t do the work required to be successful - you won’t be successful!

Make a commitment to earning your first $5,000
online. Then and only then if you decide that “it’s not for you” - pursue other ventures. BUT make sure
that you give yourself some room to succeed! If you’ve read my story at SethDaley.com, you’ll know that I failed my way to success.

==========================
Big Ticket To Wealth Quick SnapShot
Owner: Gerald Van Yerxa Entrepreneur (Owns Bed & Breakfast), Internet Marketer, & MLMer
Company Founded  - December 2007
Products: Resell Rights to Various E-Books, Software, and Flash Videos.
Marketing System:  Big Ticket To Wealth replicated website
(variations are available through several different teams within BTTW.)
Price Points:
National Product Member Pack $797
Executive Product Member Pack $1197
Presidential Product Member Pack $1997
Compensation Plan: 50/50 Split Commissions with your sponsor / down-line. Plus residual income on the monthly admin fee of every member on your direct team.

==========================
The Litmus Test
Is it a High Ticket Item? Yes
Is there a Powerful Marketing System in Place? Yes
Does the Product Have Value? Maybe => No

==========================
Summary of Big Ticket To Wealth

Big Ticket To Wealth Software Product $797 - $1997
Consists of Master Resell Rights on hundreds of ebooks, software products, and Flash Videos.  I was unable to find an example of the flash videos, but it seems as if the Flash Videos were the only “in house” produced  product.Â

Master Resell rights means that you can sell the product on it’s own and keep 100% of the commission.

** after a few searches on Google and Ebay - it seems as if I can find many of these products just about anywhere on the internet for a fraction of what BTTW is suggesting the resale price is. There are sites that sell HUNDREDS of software packages for a measly $19.97 - $47 — of course you won’t find the in-house flash videos yet…

(I think you’ll find this to be true with most of the direct sales companies selling software that isn’t produced in-house — the products can be purchase for a fraction of the cost.

==========================
Compensation Plan

The compensation plan is lucrative if you can get your team to duplicate.  $300 - $900 Commissions Plus Matching Commissions on all your direct team members sales of $300 - $900 again.

Attract a few sharp marketers and you could be sitting on top of a residual mid 5 figure monthly check.  The key word is Attract and could…

==========================
Marketing System

Currently there is only 1 marketing system for Big Ticket to Wealth and that is the bigtickettowealth.com replicated website. There are multiple lead capture pages made available through the company, plus depending on who you join you might be able to “swipe” their capture pages as well.

There are 5 Company Sponsored opportunity calls held Monday - Thursday and Saturday.  If you are interested in this opportunity I recommend getting your questions answered by attending this call.

Although the industry trend is “98% Automated” Big Ticket To Wealth does promote picking up the phone and connecting with people… it’s a good thing - but the system truthfully does about 10% of the work and you do 90%.

==========================
Seth’s take-away” for BigTicketToWealth

Gerald Van Yerxa (CEO & Founder) has done a tremendous job in orchestrating this launch.  I like how much information is on their websites.  For the analytical types you can do ALOT of due diligence on the site itself.

Gerald tells his own story and shares pictures on the site of his family and house — although it looks as if he’s bragging due to the large amount of pictures regarding his house & toys… (IMHO).

The system is “there”.  I like how the website is put together - actually while I was doing my due diligence I got “the bug” inside which started to trigger my emotional hot points.  If I were to join a “software” company I’d consider Big Ticket to Wealth or My Internet Business (for training & marketing systems)

==========================
But I’m NOT joining and here’s why:

1. The name doesn’t sit well with me… “Big Ticket To Weatlh?”… enough said.

2. If I joined every “good” opportunity that came along I’d be spinning my wheels rather than building an online business.
   Here’s the third reason and the one that counts:
   

3. Big Ticket To Wealth (IMHO - in my humble opinion) does not have substantial product value.

Yes there are hundreds of e-books and software downloads that could assist you in building your online business empire, but the truth is you’d be reading for a year straight before implementing those ideas… plus alot of the e-books are out dated.  One title was “SEO predictions for 2006 & beyond.
Alot of good that will do… it’s already 2008 and many tactics have changed as SEO changes quite frequently. (Especially with Web 2.0 Strategies)

=========================
Here’s my other quandary…

Big Ticket To Wealth is branding themselves as “The Internet Marketing System That Creates Millionaires.”

It’s a catchy headline, but can they deliver?  OBVIOUSLY Gerald Van Yerxa has done very well for himself as an entrepreneur in traditional business and mlm / direct sales.  I believe that he has OUTDONE all of the other companies in the “software” direct sales companies…  BUT
The example of 10 finding 10 is near impossible (i’m a pretty positive guy too).  Here’s why…

==========================
Pareto’s Principle
There is a gentleman by the name of of Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist (who was a smart guy) — after years of observation he came up with a principle called the 80/20 principle.  80% of an outcome is produced by 20% of the effort & the 20% of the effort represents 80% of the results.

Pareto’s principle is not fact, but I’d rather focus my own efforts and produce the 80% of my business rather than me “banking” on my team to duplicate. If you’ve been around in the industry “duplication” is the holy grail that every direct sales & mlm distributor seeks after.

Business Opportunities like these typically don’t duplicate long term.  I know it’s the cold hard truth — and this conversation probably deserves a long interactive discussion — so I’ll save it for later…

Why would Big Ticket To Wealth be any different?  Especially when it’s evolved out of the industry.

==========================
Here’s the bright side!

While doing my research I noticed that Gerald Van Yerxa has invested a TON of time, energy, and money into the training and marketing section.
Meaning… he wants YOU to make as much money as possible - for obvious reasons.  Gerald has done FAR more than other companies I’ve researched in the industry as far as marketing resources are concerned…

The key to success (if you choose to move forward) with Big Ticket To Wealth will be Attraction Marketing & Personal Branding.  There. I said it.

With that understood please educate yourself on personal branding and attraction marketing - probably the best place to start would be Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring found here: Magnetic Sponsoring 7 day Video Bootcamp

==========================
Joining Big Ticket To Wealth?

As always I have scoured the internet and sprained my finger dialing the phone to connect with QUALITY mentors and trainer for you to partner with...  After all - the industry is all about MARKETING.

So if you would still like the opportunity to team up with Big Ticket To Wealth… I’d recommend contacting (no current recommendation - if you are in Big Ticket To Wealth and would like to be a referral - please contact me for an interview as I only recommend qualified mentors.)

==========================
Finally, as you pursue your online venture for the first time or this is your 13th go-around… Remember that Desire WITHOUT Discipline = Depression.

Make a commitment to earning your first $5,000 online.  Then and only then if you decide that “it’s not for you” - pursue other ventures.  BUT make sure that you give yourself some room to succeed!  If you’ve read my story at SethDaley.com, you’ll know that I failed my way to success.

Again, If you found this review helpful and would like a QUALITY referral to either ask additional questions or to sign up with Big Ticket To Wealth… Contact me and I’ll get you in contact with someone who WILL take care of you.

=========================
Seth’s “take-away” on EDC Gold and EDC Diamond

After hours of research on Easy Daily Cash my opinion of this company has changed. Although I do believe there is a ALOT of sizzle in the message, there is a bit of steak too. The key is this:Don’t buy EDC for the product - buy it for the training.
I’ve spoken with current and former EDC members and they agree that the training is great. If you’re new to the internet marketing world, there’s going to be a HUGE learning curve to figure out what to do and how to do it.
EDC Gold and EDC Diamond has a lot of training and support so you can start learning.
So if you’re looking to “learn while you earn” then you might consider EDC. Just don’t plan on making $10K per week starting next week.

The compensation plan (although improved) does not promote a team environment. After the first 2 sales are passed up to the sponsor, the sponsor has NO financial incentive to assist you in your business. So make sure that you join someone with a proven track record to assist their team.

========================
My final thought on EDC Gold and EDC Diamond

EDC will be around for a while. While other companies have come and gone, EDC looks like it is constantly striving to improve - which is a good sign. They have a lot of tools for you to use. AND the owners (Craig Garcia and Mike Corcoran ARE accessible. My only reservation lies in the information that I found at the ScumBagMarketers.com site (see video above).
