There have been so many changes over at the Immediate Edge that the review I wrote some time ago is very much out-of-date.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

Thanks for the review, Allison!
So, it’s a cross between an Internet Marketing university and access to results from the Research&Development department of Ed and Dan (the project stuff you mentioned)? Awesome! Looking forward to becoming a member in 2009!

A very good description of the IE Allison. The IE is not for newbies, but it is not limited to advanced Internet Marketers as everyone can learn from the materials offered and the way they are offered. Dan and the team at IE are truly brilliant and I love the fact that everything is researched and tested thoroughly and they themseleves have had success with the techniques – something that is missing from many of the programs out there.

The membership is worth it. I was able to take a peek of IE thru the 14 day trial. The material is worth millions for me.
