For Those of you who are seeking to work a part-time business on the internet and you're looking at EDC Gold as a possible solution for your part time income needs, consider the following key points before making that decision as it could cost you some serious money and time if it isn't what you think it is.



EDC Gold requires the sale of products in order to earn income. You must first buy the products yourself, one time, for a cost of over $950 if you plan on receiving the highest commissions. You would then recruit others into the business or sell products on your own website or by other marketing means.

Now that is just the initial start-up fee. Understand that there is a monthly fee to pay for the training website and the website that you will send prospects to in signing them up into the business. On that note, you will be encouraged to obtain a merchant account which carries a set-up fee and monthly fee.

If you are to work this business properly, you need a good lead capture page. They have a great "Dubbs" landing page system but it comes with a pretty hefty monthly fee as well. You could use the company landing pages but that is not a great idea if you want to brand yourself. With the landing page, you will need to pay a monthly fee for an autoresponder service and put follow-up messages in it to send to prospects.

EDC Gold is big on evening training calls so plan on attending them a couple of times per week. Plan ahead of time and convince guests to get on the call as well. Also you will have a back office loaded with training information that you will need to study and learn. You should spend and hour or two each day learning new things.

Then comes the marketing. In order to make money, you have to get people to your landing page and then your sales page. This is an art, a science so to speak. It takes time to learn the so-called "secrets" and then things don't just happen over night. It takes time.

Now you have two options when it comes to marketing. You can pay three to four hundred dollars per month, or more, for paid advertising or you can spend a couple of hours per day learning how to write and submit articles, post on Craig's list, start a blog, submit feedback in forums, etc.

You will need to spend a lot of time learning how to create good keywords lists. This will be used in ppc advertising. Knowing that you pay for each click, you must be an effective ad writer. Be careful not to make mistakes here as this could cost you some serious money.

If you are going to choose EDC Gold as your business model make sure you are aware of the costs of not only joining at the start, but the monthly costs associated with working that business. Also understand that it will be expected of you to spend from three to five hours per day in operating your business. If you are limited on time and money, this may not be the best choice for you.
