EDC Gold & EDC Diamond Products & Training Helping Businesses Grow Online

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 18, 2008 --

For the past 2 years, EDC Gold has been known primarily as a home business opportunity, to help entrepreneurs and opportunity-seekers develop their own successful businesses from home. Because of this, there has been much controversy surrounding the actual products offered by EDC. Opinions of past & current members to those on the outside looking in express everything from satisfaction to a deep disapproval of the various products in the EDC Gold & EDC Diamond libraries. Some of the most common arguments are that the products are outdated, recycled from previous programs, useless in today's marketing arena and only there to make the EDC Gold program appear legal. However, many members and customers feel just the opposite, that EDC Gold's products and training make it one of the best home business programs available. One such member is small business owner and entrepreneur Ina Stanley, and she's conducted a study to put EDC Gold's products and training to the test and settle the argument against them once and for all.

As the owner of a new local business, Ina describes some of the challenges she faces getting her business off the ground. “Our main challenge is marketing, just like any brand new business. We need a way to get the word out about our products & services without spending a lot of money. Because we're a start-up, we're on a tight budget. We can't afford to spend thousands or even hundreds of dollars on marketing. There are many more important things, like office space and equipment, that we have to consider.” This is when Ina decided to turn to EDC Gold & EDC Diamond, a fairly prominent home business program with its focus in Internet marketing. “I've been an EDC member for over a year now, and have been working to educate others about the benefits of the program, at times even defending it. But the very things I've been telling others apply to me and my business. So I figured, why not put EDC's products to the test so that others can witness first-hand what they're capable of?”Creating a system with the help of archived training from EDC Gold, and picking out some specific products that would be most useful to her business operations, she began to build an online presence for her company, Virtual Sidekick.

“I had a specific launch date in mind, and I wanted there to be a fair amount of information about our company online before we launched. If folks were interested in looking us up and doing research, I wanted them to be able to find us, and easily.” Ina spent a period of two months building her company's online presence, guided by past training from EDC Gold & EDC Diamond. She also incorporated many of EDC's products in to her regular business operations. “Our company creates virtual tours, photography and marketing services for area real estate agents and professionals. The video editing and streaming software we have at our disposal, like Camtasia Studio and Instant Video Suite, have been very helpful in the creation of our virtual tours. We also need a variety of business forms for our daily operations, like client contracts and sales forms. EDC Gold has software for this too!” In addition to these, Ina has taken advantage of many of the other products and tools, such as website scripts, the article submitter and analytics tools. The past couple of months were then spent building her company's website and blog, creating content and distributing it across the web using techniques and tools from EDC.

“I wasn't sure what to expect from the things we did, but I felt certain that EDC had helped us to gain more exposure than we would have been able to on our own.” The results were much better than Ina had expected. “With the training and tools from EDC Gold and just 2 months of work, our website, blog and content had achieved top positions in search results, even dominating the first few results per page. We were able to be found for all of our keywords and key phrases, and had also achieved top rankings in the local results for venues like Google Maps!” Her business website, www.virtual-sidekick.com, had also achieved a Google PageRank of 3 out of 10. “That's amazing for a brand new website, considering most new websites are held out of the main search results for a certain period until they gain enough credibility.” Some of the other results include a growing opt-in list, a growing blog readership and highly targeted traffic. “Our site might not be receiving hundreds of hits per day yet, but the traffic we are getting is targeted, and our conversion is proving quite high compared to what most company websites produce using methods like Pay-Per-Click advertising.”

Ina doubts their site would have experienced this kind of success without the knowledge and tools from EDC Gold. “I have a background in marketing and business, but I didn't know enough about marketing online to achieve these kinds of results on my own. For one fee, I got access to a variety of tools, products and even live training from experts in the field. I would have ended up paying hundreds or thousands more for additional college courses, or to have a professional do these services for us. And though the college courses might have been a cheaper route than hiring a marketing firm, it would have taken much longer than 2 months to complete and get a business up and running.” Ina is so pleased with the results, that she's created a special report detailing her experiences and results, including screen shots and other proof. “This report explains exactly what we did, what products and techniques we used from EDC Gold, and shows screen shots of our results (and allows you to research our results for yourself). EDC Gold has done exactly what it claims and has proven (to me at least) that its products and training are not outdated and useless, but can help a variety of businesses and professionals boost their presence and increase their sales online. With new products and tools being added on a regular basis, I expect to find even more useful tools as time goes on.”
