Melbourne, Australia


Dear Friend,


Are you looking for the key to take your Internet Marketing (and the money you make from it) to the next level, without the horror of learning strategies that may as well be in Swahili? Then you need to read this letter.


Usually, this is the part of the Sales Letter where we would go on and on about how clever we are, how experienced we are, how handsome...well maybe not that, but you get the drift...


Not this letter. This is going to be a little different.


Yes, Dan Raine created The Immediate Edge to be THE place to learn the ninja moves he used to develop and sell a small group of sites for over two million Euros. (And yes, I created 38 web sites which I sold for five million dollars, not that I'm competitive...)


But the mega deals we do under a cloak secrecy are not nearly as important as what we do in the plain light of day. You see, Dan and I prove ourselves in the white heat of public opinion for one month every year.


You may have heard of the Thirty Day Challenge...


For a whole month every year, Dan and I do our darndest to teach anyone who wants to learn how to start an online business — for free.


Everyone thinks there's a catch — there isn't. Just Thirty Days of the best stuff that we can teach to get as many people as possible to make their first $1 online.

The Legend of the "Pink Thong"

In 2006, Dan decided to take the Thirty Day Challenge up a notch. He made this bet: make $15,000 in thirty days (with a budget of only $150 bucks!) or wear a pink thong - and only a pink thong - in public.


He Failed.


Dan only made $14,364, falling a measly $636 short. (You can actually go and see how Dan did it at http://www.15kchallenge.com/blog/).


Being a man of principle, Dan made good on his bet at the 2007 Immediate Edge bootcamp. Unfortunately for him, I was there with my trusty video camera. And now, with my fierce YouTube skillz, I bring you The Video...




[Hey — this is still my show...don't be cheeky! ~Dan]


Getting serious for a second — if you have never done anything online and you're just starting out, DON'T SIGN UP — the Immediate Edge is not for you. Go take the Thirty Day Challenge. You'll have no risk, it won't cost you a cent and it's a proven system that has gotten thousands of people started on the path to replacing their day job with a real live Internet Business.


Now this is important. You need to understand the way we teach inside The Edge. This next video is a great example. It outlines our core strategy called the Maximum Edge.






You need Flash to play this




As it happens, right now is a great time to join The Edge. Why? Because this video is just the start of a major update of the Maximum Edge strategy.


Here is what Edge members had to say about it:



You’re right Ed.

That’s a really great video.

Content and the way you’ve presented it is just bloody awesome (screenflow i guess??)

Cheers,
Zac

Comment by Zac Dillon on 10 Apr 2008

Superb video Ed.

It really makes the whole process easy to understand. Cool delivery too — love the sketches!

Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Comment by Jonathan Attias on 10 Apr 2008

Emmy-worthy presentation Ed.

Comment by Chris on 10 Apr 2008

Hey Ed,

Great presentation (and timely) was just wondering to myself if I needed fancy illustrations or if ‘ghetto’ drawings would work for explaining important concepts etc — You’ve proved ‘ghetto’ styles works so thanks very much!

I’m off to perfect my crayola ’stick figures’

Cheers,
Marty

Comment by Marty on 10 Apr 2008

Ed,

Thanks for this video — I’ve been a bit lost since joining The Edge and this video has just blown me away in its brilliant simplicity :-)

I now have my very own pile of napkin pictures coz writing it down myself helps me remember it.

Can’t wait to try out the Edge Networker now I finally understand what it does for me!

Cheers,
Lee
P.S. Can you keep reminding me about 197 more times about the importance of market research and finding the ptp?

Ed’s best ever vid! I think so.

I echo a number of comments above:-

Glen: Ed, I really have to take my hat off to your video skills (among others).

Jonathan: It really makes the whole process easy to understand.

I found it drew together many of the bits and various evolution process that has taken place during my membership.Having started out as a total newbie last year,trying out various bits the material presented here,I now will try my 6th or is it my 7th run at this.

Best.
Malcolm.

But have a look at the video and decide for youself...


And, for the first time, we're revealing our recipe for The Secret Sauce.

So What is the Secret Sauce?

At the end of the day SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is pretty simple: Make sure your site is set up just the way Google likes it. Get lots of links from respected sites. Do this more than your competition. Bang — you get a number one spot.


Easy Peasy...or not.


The Secret Sauce is a method to muscle your way to the top of the search results in a way so easy, so elegant, that it will take your breath away.


And the best part? It rips the power to decide who ranks in the top spots out of Google's hands and puts it smack into yours.

Learn What Everyone Will Teach Next Year...

Let me run through a list of Internet Marketing go-to strategies for you:










These are all standard internet marketing techniques, right? No big deal — everyone's teaching this stuff. However, there is a common theme here...


Dan and I taught these techniques FIRST — Right here in the Immediate Edge

And Edge Members had "first bite of the cherry" on all these strategies.


As you read this, we're rolling out all our newest stuff — the strategies you'll see everywhere in 2009.

I'm not saying this to boast (well, OK - I am a bit). But here's what it means to you: you get to focus on your business — and we'll bring you what works, when it works, each and every month.


The Immediate Edge is all about cutting-edge techniques and strategies. Yes, they're advanced, but they're explained in a way that is super simple to implement, with videos like the one above showing you exactly what to do, step by step.

How We Stay on The Edge

Dan and I take a massive chunk of the money you pay each month and pour it in to funding "The Lab." (If you were part of the 2007 Challenge — you've seen just a peek of the brilliant work done by Rob Somerville, head of The Lab). The team tests dozens and dozens and dozens of techniques. These guys live and breath testing.


It all sounds just Wizard, doesn't it? Unfortunately, there is a problem...


Out of the hundreds of tests a year, only a handful really work. More often than not, it's back to the drawing board.


Imagine if you had to do all this yourself: the hiring the team, the brainstorming, the testing, the implementation....it would cost a fortune! Not to mention the enormous amount of time you'd have to spend to sifting through piles of dud techniques hoping to find a gem. You just couldn't do it.


But we can!


As a member of The Edge, you get the benefits of our in-depth analysis. The stuff we teach has been field tested and works. At The Edge, we don't do theory. We do cold, hard, practical techniques that are distilled until they're a breeze to apply to your business.



The Edge Is Also About Services That Save And Make You Money!


Introducing Edge Networker — exclusive to The Immediate Edge.


We created this tool for ourselves. Then we realized we could make it ten times more effective by releasing it to a small group of well-trained marketers: the members of the Immediate Edge.


It also fixes one of the biggest problems with people's social bookmarking techniques: Premature Bookmarking.


This is what usually happens: you create a new piece of content and you and your team go to town bookmarking. After this orgy of social servicing, you do nothing. Your site looses it's ranking, and you're left wondering why all that hard work went out the window.


Those search engine bastards! They have it in for you!


WRONG.


Google is smart. And bluntly, they follow common sense (well, most of the time.)


Think of your content like an item on the Nightly News. How many stories are relevent they next day? 5%? Maybe 10%? Point is, it's rare for a story to run more than a couple of days.


Our friends at Google realize this. So when they see a bit of content attracting some bookmarking attention in a not too competitive phrase, Google thinks, "Well this has got some interest. I'm going to throw this up because a few people have indicated it's worth looking at."


Then, like any normal news story, your content will slowly (or sometimes dramtically) sink back into the rankings swamp.


It's all just common sense. If a story is repeated or expanded on different shows, published in magazines, blogged about and referred to twice a day for a YEAR, Google knows that's a news story of interest to a lot of people. It is, by definition, more important than the vast majority of news stories that shown up for a single night on TV.


Can you see where I'm going with this...?


Yep. When your online content is getting bookmarked and linked to every one or two days from sites that Google respects, your content stays relevant. That is how you build long term value for your site.


The Edge Networker takes this process and automates it. And for the pièce de résistance, it uses peer to peer technolgy to amplify the effect (just enough, not too much).


Here is what Edge Networker does:


First off, Networker is an Automated Social Bookmarking System.


When you add your page of content to the Networker, it automatically gets bookmarked over several days. People tend to binge on social bookmarking — it's crazy and is likely to get you banned.


Networker is a Link Building System.


For each social bookmarking account you add to the Networker, you will get two bookmarks linking to your pages. So, if you add twenty accounts, you will get forty bookmarks back for each of your pages!


Plus, the Networker trickle feeds additional bookmarks to your site over the next twelve months, so there's always a steady number of links being created back to your page.


Networker is also an Automated Blog Page Submitter.


We are currently writing a WordPress Plugin that automatically submits your new blog pages to the Networker every time you publish. It even uses your summary and tags to fill in the details. (How much you would have to pay someone to do this menial but hyper-crucial task? A lot more than $97 a month!)


The Lab is working furiously to put the finishing touches on even more Edge Networker features to be rolled out in the coming months. When you see it in action, it will blow you mind!


Of course, you could do all Networker's tasks yourself... you just need a couple of hundred grand, seventy servers all around the world, a list of 700,000 proxies, the smartest programmers in Internet Marketing and a bad attitude...


OR


You could use the Networker for free as part of your Edge membership.


Here's what Edge Members had to say about Edge Networker:



Yes! This Rocks!

Comment by Andrew Persons on 06 Apr 2008

One word: WOW!

Comment by David Sodergren on 06 Apr 2008

Sweet! This is worth the price of admission right here.

Cheers,
Nez

Comment by Nez on 06 Apr 2008

W O W ! !

Comment by David Leigh on 06 Apr 2008

This is a fantastic service to offer to Edge members. Thanks!

Comment by Pauline on 06 Apr 2008

Many thanks to all the Lab team.

Like Nez said, it worth having the Edge just for this one service.

Malcolm

Comment by malcolm ross on 06 Apr 2008

Wow, this looks pretty slick guys! Great job.

Comment by Garrett Valdivia on 06 Apr 2008

Awesome! Good work fellas!!

Comment by Donal Doherty on 06 Apr 2008

Thank you to you Dan, Ed and your Lab! :-)

This looks truly awesome, and I am about to register new accounts with glee…

Thank you for everything you all do for us!

Caro :-)

Comment by Caro on 07 Apr 2008

Thanks Guys, superb as usual.

As long as this is monitored and moderated correctly, it’ll beat the pants off other similar systems I’ve used in the past.

Brilliant work all round, proud to be a member :)

Comment by Phill Mason on 07 Apr 2008

Seriously, the Networker makes the $97 membership seem ridiculously cheap.


But that's not all...!


The Best Newsletter in Internet Marketing - If I Do Say So Myself!!!


I love the Edge Newsletter. Dan writes it and I can't wait for it to land every month. I am horribly biased, but I think The Edge newsletter is the best out there. Even before I was part of The Edge team, I told everyone to join based on just the newsletter alone. And now it includes killer videos that clarify and emphasize what you're reading about it.


Just flipping back through past newsletters...they're chock full of goodness! We've taught how to customize pages based on your visitor's geographic loacation (and then gave away the software to make it happen), how to exploit custom RSS feeds (and avoid getting hit with a duplicate content penalty) and why writing software is not scary (and an easy process to bring it to market).


And it just keeps getting better!


But again don't take my word for it. Here's what Edge Members has to say about the most recent April newsletter:


Wow - Dan, Ed, Asbjorn, Lisa - you guys are radical! Thank you for an abundance of great, actionable content.

Comment by Steve Haldi on 19 Mar 2008

Holy Hog-Shit!

This is some content filled stuff!

Keep up the good work, mates!

Comment by Martin The Viking :) on 19 Mar 2008

This sounds like the Santa Sack for sure!

I’m about to download and pour over it.

I want to take the time to post this - for two reasons:

1. I believe in acknowledging those that are instrumental in my successes

2. They’ve been a minority of comments in the past questioning the value of being here…well this is my testimonial to how valuable the information here is.

A while back Dan recommended in a newsletter changing your Affiliate commission structure from 50% to 75%.

And also how to approach it more professionally.

Well I poured over that, digested it, didn’t like parts of it (’giving’ up 25% more) and decided to take action and test it out.

I identified all potential affiliates in my niche.

Put together a letter to contact them with.

Sent it out with the link to my new and improved Affiliate page with some added banners (still not nearly to the level of sophistication of what Dan recommended - but that will be a work in progress for me).

I did this early in the new year and there didn’t seem to be many bites.

Then it HIT - big time this month!

I have had TWO RECORD 4 figure days in ONE week!

WHOO HOO - and today’s heading that way too - I might wet myself if that happens! (charming ;-) )

Now this is largely down to one affiliate who is in my niche - who can actually make more off my product than they can off theirs.

So it’s win win - they are excellent marketers themselves - most probably better than me. But I have a really solid brand now after 2 years - people LOVE my character & they’re known in the niche (in this niche it does require a build/time), and the conversions etc have always been excellent and consistent with low refunds.

I LOVE the traffic they are sending me.

They must LOVE how much they’ve made - as if I was them I’d be jumping up and down too - as they get 75%.

You know that part still ‘rankles’ a bit - maybe it’s my greedy side?? Overall though I want to applaud, commend, polish Dan’s boots (but NOT the thong!) and doff my cap and all that jazz - I might even summon some dribble out of the corner of my mouth - all to say…

THANK YOU DAN FOR THAT ADVICE! :D

I am SO GLAD I followed it!

Cyber hugs…and no I am not on anything more than a natural high at seeing such wonderful results.

Caro :-)

PS: The other affiliates who have recently signed up are also selling well - the key is to access traffic sources.

Comment by Caro on 19 Mar 2008

This looks really good. Lots of useful content.

Appreciate the effort from all that worked on it.

Comment by Sam Witteveen on 19 Mar 2008

Much appreciate your comments guys and gals. Really makes it worth it.

Dan

Comment by Dan on 19 Mar 2008

Man o man. This newsletter has just taken the crown for the best one yet. There is absolute gold in here. For one thing, I’ve just discarded pretty much everything I was doing with RSS feeds, and am embracing your techniques instead.

Brilliant!

Cheers,
Nez

Comment by Nez on 20 Mar 2008

I second Martin -- Holy Shit!

Comment by deborah ager on 20 Mar 2008

Great newsletter Dan, some real solid info.

Glen.

Comment by Glen Jansen on 20 Mar 2008

For the love of God Dan, I just finished reading the outline above and I’m delirious with joy at the idea of learning all of these techniques!

Comment by Krizia on 20 Mar 2008

Thanks everyone involved in this newsletter.It is great!!!! I am heading off for a Easter break but not before I print this out to take with me to read.

Happy Easter.

Comment by Sharon Williams on 20 Mar 2008

I prefer Ed’s phraseology of “Holy Crap.”

Much more refined. :) :)

Thanks Dan.

Comment by Chris on 20 Mar 2008

Dan I am thrilled with the info on Yahoo Pipes. All the rest of this excellent newsletter is just gravy!

Hoppin’ down the bunny trail…

Pauline

Comment by Pauline Trabert on 20 Mar 2008

All of the past newletters are there for you to download and apply to your business. This is not going to always be the case...


Soon, we're going to archive these newsletters so that only foundation members have access to them. NOW, is your chance to get access to the whole library.

So what else will you learn inside the Edge? What will you get?


Here's just a taste:


And much, much more!


We call it The Edge for a reason.



Ok Ed - How Much? What's the Deal?


The Immediate Edge is $97 a month. You're able to cancel at anytime, without a hook. (We use PayPal — so if you want out, just cancel your subscription).


When you look at the Newsletter, the Q&A sessions, the Edge Networker, the way we've got your back on everything new that's coming down the pipe (so you'll know about it months before anybody else,) $97 bucks is a steal.


The price is low — that's a deliberate decision. We want The Edge to be the next obvious step for people who have taken the Thirty Day Challenge, and want it to be accessible to as many people as possible.


But don't think that Edgers are just beginners. We we are proud to count some of the most experienced marketers on the planet as members.


So what about the guarantee?


There is none. Your risk is $97 dollars. And bluntly, there is $9700 dollars worth of information available from the moment you log in. Seriously, after watching the videos, looking at the testimonials and looking at the quality of Dan and my teaching on www.thirtydaychallenge.com (for completely free I might add), if you have any doubts about The Immediate Edge being worth it, I say to you, with the greatest love in the world,


Please Leave.


If you get in and don't like the "cut of our jib," just cancel your PayPal subscription. You won't be charged any further - Dan and I keep the $97 bucks. If you're not comfortable with that, please do not sign up.


But if you're ready to up your Internet Marketing skills and have a real crack at success using advanced techniques explained in our dead simple (and admittedly sometimes really bad jokey) way, then it's time to join us out on the Edge.


Just click here and learn what the others already know.


Ed & Dan

EdDan

P. S. Now really is the perfect time to join. With roll outs of Maximum Edge, the Secret Sauce and the Edge Networker starting this month, you're in the box seat to dominate your market. In Internet Marketing, a head start of just a couple of months can make all the difference.


P.P.S. Once again, if you're a newbie and are as green as the day is long, DO NOT SIGN UP. This just isn't for you (at least not right now). There are so many advanced tactics, tools and techniques inside the Immediate Edge, you'll likely end up overwhelmed at the sheer volume of information available. Instead, head over to the Thirty Day Challenge, earn your stripes there, and come back when you're ready.


P.P.P.S. Don't forget, harnessing the power of social bookmarking is critical for an internet business to survive and flourish in today's environment. The time and money you'll save using the Edge Networker instead of doing the bookmarking yourself or paying an outsourcer to do it is worth the price of admission alone!


P.P.P.P.S. Members of the Immediate Edge take the info we share each month, apply it their businesses and make fantastic amounts of money. Join them! Find out what you're really missing - Click here to get the Edge now - we're sure it will be the best money you'll ever invest in your business.
