Immediate Edge – New Improved Review

Name: The Immediate Edge

Media: Membership Site

Cost: US$97 p/m

There have been so many changes over at the Immediate Edge that the review I wrote some time ago is very much out-of-date.

For those looking for information about what the Immediate Edge is, let’s start with the basics.

The Immediate Edge is a continuity learning program. Month on month new information in the form of lengthy newsletters, project updates, and educational videos, are made available to the membership.

The information is still aimed at the intermediate-to-advanced internet business owner. While there has been an influx of beginner types after the 30 Day Challenge seeing if the IE is for them, the information is still aimed squarely at those that are passionate and driven about making a living online.

Bonus modules have been added recently to the Immediate Edge such as the online version of Ed Dale’s Buying and Selling of Website Course – Dominiche,  access to the new 30DC plus learning materials and the mysterious (but exciting!) $10k project.These modules have added extra value to membership, and help cover the times when there are gaps in new content.

The IE has cleaned up its user interface to be more user friendly in finding things which was the biggest bug-bear new members had when coming into the program.

The addition of “project manager” Jon, to the already tireless work that Asbjorn does in the back office, should help keep the head rascal Dan Raine under some form of control.

While there is more structure in the current layout, learning is not in a linear form. This has been part of the philosophy of the IE from day one, learning is up to YOU the student.  Self motivated and passionate students please apply.

There is one small issue with the IE that you as a member will need to accept, and that is Dan Raine’s enthusiasm in announcing things that aren’t quite ready for publishing. Often there will be an announcement of something exciting that will be here next Tuesday and then a short-to-long gap before it actually eventuates. This is one of Dan Raine’s charming quirks, and one I am sure his business partners would love to remedy with gaffer tape and a good flogging with a paddle. I don’t think he is going to change though….

I do recommend the IE. It is not your usual learning program, it stretches everyone that becomes a member as well as providing great cutting edge content.

Thankyou One and All

Yesterday I had an amazing birthday. First was the usual offline celebration with family, friends and colleagues. Yet at the same time I was also enjoying a fabulous online birthday with my “other” friends.

I am gobsmacked at the effort and co-ordination that so many wonderful people put in to make my birthday so unique, fun and very,very special. I took a sneak peek this morning into the FriendFeed room (with permission!) where all the brainstorming, masterminding and collaboration took place. An incredible amount of organisation and creative activity went into a seamless 14 hour online celebration.

I also feel very humbled and grateful that I can call these people “my friends”.  They are truly the “best of the best”, genuine, warm, affectionate people and I would be lost without their company and their examples of being brilliant human beings. They may find me shocking or coarse or downright rude, but they accept me for who I am, and I love them back in the very same way. It doesn’t get any better than that when it comes to the best kind of friendships.

Here are links to their amazing work (stolen directly from Asbjorn’s blog! )
