If you have read my review of Dan Raine and Ed Dale’s Immediate Edge in the reviews section you will know that I was somewhat bemused that the presentation of information within the Edge was missing something. Don’t get me wrong, I have never thought anything taught by the Edge wasn’t valuable, but it just wasn’t grabbing me by the throat and shaking me. Things have changed!
In the last two-three months the amount of information, interaction from Dan Raine and Ed Dale, and top notch presentation has stepped up. This in part has been because of the addition of some very talented people to the Immediate Edge team, and they bring their expertise and extra output.
On top of the increased quantity, the quality (which has always been fabulous) is going places that are amazing. Brilliant stuff! The time-gap between what Dan Raine is doing for his own businesses and what is being taught, has come down considerably. As has the opacity, by that I mean I feel that we are seeing more of what Dan does in real life. The wall is not as thick as it once was.
The other factor, I think, has been within me. I am absolutely committed to leaving my corporate job on (or before) December 1st 2010 and what is being taught on the Immediate Edge is proving to be a magic key in unlocking the way forward. My skills and knowledge are maturing and I am making more practical use of what has been taught in the past.
Because of that last point I still will discourage anyone who has not at least intermediate skills and understanding of internet marketing to keep their money in their pocket. But for everyone else I want you to sign up under my affiliate link and spend at least 2 months gorging on the information that is already there before making a decision whether it is for you.
This teaser sent out by Ed Dale makes me think that now is a really good time to get signed up!

Why does Mac software always look so aesthetic, like it’s saying “Use me.. softly”. I’m jealous of you Mac guys.

I just joined one month ago and “get” exactly what you went through (since I am going through it right now).
You’re totally right about the skillset requirement. I’m at the intermediate level, and experienced lots of moments when I grasp the information, but it’s totally obvious that I don’t understand the potential for practial application completely.
It’s kind of like having a genius for a teacher . . . . tough to keep up with but the steeper learning curve is well worth it because of the amount of information you absorb!
P.S. I got my mac a few weeks ago and I can’t believe the work product I’m putting out. Professional video, animations, with sound effects! Amazing.
If only I could figure out how to output to FLV, I’d be in nirvana! Thanks for the thoughtful post.

Nice review Allison. It pretty much reflects my Edge experience as well. It was rather dry there for a while, but look out! Things are getting feisty!
P.S. lets add each other on twitter – http://www.twitter.com/michaelcarlson
and I will add you also!

Oliver – inside word is the final version will look even better, and have even more features – and Ed is correct, it works on both a PC and a Mac.

Just popped in Allison from a search on Google for Marketing Samurai.
You were in the third spot that lead me to thin post. Very nice Job!
