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.

As more and more people attempt to succeed online, more internet failures occur due to lack of training and knowledge. I was just one of countless millions, trying all kinds of programs to learn exactly how to generate and income online. After hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars, I almost gave up and determined that internet marketing was only for the gifted with computers.

I had serious doubts about how anyone could succeed in an industry that required so much knowledge about ever changing web technology. After failing time an time again most new internet marketers find running a website, an enormous task without the right mentorship and training.

I am no web-designer or advertising professional, so naturally I found it extremely difficult to make money on the internet with what little knowledge I had. It wasn't that the products I was selling were bad. It was that I didn't know how internet marketing works.

The Coastal Opportunity offered new members websites that explained various travel discounts and sold memberships online. My job was to promote my website and speak with interested visitors to generate sales.

The problem was most "gurus I talked to didn't have time for me, or certainly wouldn't show me exactly how they were making money online, unless I purchased their "system". After looking all over the internet for someone that would give me a break and show me the truth, I gave up and decided to try and restart my Coastal Vacations business. I did a search on Google to find my mentor and sponsor that originally signed me up in Coastal.

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.

Like many aspiring internet newbies, I had joined the program, fizzled out and then returned to try once again with the help of my original sponsor. I soon learned that my sponsor had disappeared and had in fact went into what I called "witness protection." (He dropped off the face of the earth with Coastal Vacations)

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.

After visiting the free training site EDC Diamond provides, I learned more in one hour than I had learned from my former sponsor in 6 months. I continued to attend the EDC Training Webinars with the idea that I could finally turn my existing internet business around.

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.

Quite honestly, I was shocked that not once during any of the webinars and training calls I attended did they use hype, testimonials or impassioned sales pitches to sell me anything! They just continued week after week, to introduce easy to understand marketing methods, to assist both their free and paid members.

I also had the opportunity to work with Robert a top EDC Diamond Mentor, who answered many questions and even called me back on a Saturday. Initially I decided to use the EDC training for my coastal vacations travel website because I had already spent over $1500 to get started with that coastal.

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.
