Please note this review has been updated here – Immediate Edge Review

I have been a member of The Immediate Edge since it opened almost 12 months ago. At US$97 a month is the most I have ever invested in anything to do with internet marketing. So is it worth it?

Let’s look at the names behind the Edge. Ed Dale and Dan Raine.

Ed Dale is the super nice guy with gorgeous kids and a pedigree in being a “real” person who has made it through being smart and in the right place at the right time (and not by accident).

Dan comes across to me as the one that knows the dark side and would use it if necessary to achieve his goal. Sort of like Professor Snape in Harry Potter.

Together they make a quite impressive team.

BUT they are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Being excited by the lure of the “new” it often seems that projects trail off into the ether and no satisfactory closure takes place. Several sweeteners for joining, such as the share issue, seem not to have got off the ground at all.

If you are looking for a step 1, step 2, step 3 = profit! You mostly won’t get that in the Edge.

What you will get is some great thought provoking ideas to build on for yourself. The Edge is not a place for the faint hearted, or the unmotivated. There are no “lessons” at the Edge, you learn by watching projects evolve, you apply what you have learned to your new or existing projects.

I advise you not to jump straight from your first Thirty Day Challenge straight into the Edge. You will be disoriented if you do. Go off and put into practice what you learned in the 30DC for at least 6 months. Get a grip on working unsupervised, and learn where your true passion is. Then sign up if you still want to.

In short: not for the beginner but great for those who can adapt and apply concepts to existing businesses.
