WHY I JOINED THE EDC FAMILY?

Steve SughrimI have worked in the Food Service industry for over 20 years. In my various positions as Food Services Director, Director of Operations and Restaurant Manager I have worked 50-80 hours work week. Most of the time I did not see my family and if I did it was for 2-3 hours. When I had the weekends off I would be too tired to do anything with them. This is not the type of lifestyle my family deserves. In the course of providing for them I've missed out on the most precious times of my kids childhood. I can never relive the missed moments and of course I will never get it back.

New challenges arise in my life. Three years ago my wife was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She is in a medical study program for individuals that are in the early stages of MS. The illness progressed to the point where she could not work. Watching her have to endure the physical pain and emotional breakdowns is very difficult for me. Honestly, at times she wants to give up. Lately, her spirit has been lifted just knowing we are on the road to financial freedom. We can now afford all the additional treatment needed towards her recovery, i.e.; organic foods, weekly physical & massage therapy, weekly chiropractor adjustments, and the best natural supplements on the market. My dream is and always has been for her to be able to travel the world while she still can. Now, watching her dreams become a reality brings unspeakable joy to me.

I have been sitting on this opportunity since January, 07. In July, I seriously took a look at EDC, and I am happy I did. What I found out is that EDC offers a unique, incredibly exciting and first ever modified 2 up system that pays up to 100% commission with residual income. The marketing, advertising, training, support and promotions offered by the owners Craig Garcia and Michael Corcoran creates an even playing field for beginners and professionals on the internet.

For me, after getting serious about this opportunity, I started working on my website, name, and story so people could find me and come join my team with EDC. As a result of this, just two weeks after:

I HAVE MADE OVER $3,700 IN MY FIRST TWO WEEKS.


I WILL SHOW YOU HOW I DID IT!

MoneyI have been in the home based business industry since 1995. I have failed at some and was very successful with others. I have helped in the launch of two companies, one in the telecommunications industry(I built an organization of over 600 members in 7 months) and the other in the Digital download arena (I personally recruited 50 people and built my organization on that foundation). I have to say there is no comparison. With EDC you make up to 100% commission while generating residual income. While the other companies have good products/service and management team they are still no match to EDC. Let's take a look at a compensation comparison:Money For the same TIME, EFFORT and ENERGY you will make 100 times more with EDC. This has been truly a blessing to me and my family. You can see why I am VERY excited about this opportunity. This unique modified 2 up system will put cash in your pocket within 24 hours. My goal is to see everyone that's on my TEAM succeeding beyond their expectations and for them to make their dreams a reality.



WHY JOIN MY TEAM and The EDC FAMILY?

Team

I am a simple, easy going type of a guy. If you ask people to describe me they will say that I am quite, nice, warm and I would go out my way to help anyone. I am focused and I will not stop until I have achieved my goals. I don't need to be the center of attraction. My main goal with this awesome opportunity is to work at helping my team members succeed because that is what ultimately helps my own cause and the money will follow. I want everyone that's on my team be able to make their dreams a reality. I will show you exactly what I did to make $3,700 in my first two weeks. I will be with you from Start to PROFIT so you don't make the same mistakes I have made in the past with other opportunities.

When you join my team, you're going to receive all the support you need. Nothing is worse than to be left high and dry when coming into a new business.

The EDC Family knows that most companies ONLY offer email support tickets as the way to get your questions answered. We do business the way you would expect...instant LIVE support. And not all sponsors will be there to help you when you need help. While most sponsors have good intentions, they may not measure up to your expectations to get support from them in a timely fashion. That is why the EDC Family has LIVE support Monday - Friday to assist you.

Team

The EDC support staffs have been trained and are experts with the system. They will help you with anything you may need. Try finding this level of support with anyone else. You won't...EDC knows...they have tested them and they just don't have it.

Plus, the EDC Family has LIVE training classes. If you want to learn how to be an Internet Marketer, this service is a must for you.

The owners of EDC have made millions on the Net. Michael Corcoran created Referralware 7 years ago which sold 34 million in sales in just the first 2 years. Craig Garcia has sold millions in the MLM and computer industry. They know what they are doing when it comes to Internet Marketing and will show you all they know.

Your Health Matters Now

Mangosteen Juice fakeries and forgeries abound on the Internet. It would be fitting to break it down a little bit as to what to look for when buying mangosteen juice so you don’t get suckered.
First of all, mangosteens are a kind of exotic fruit that is grown in Southeast Asian countries, like Thailand. It has antioxidant properties that may help maintain intestinal health, strengthen the immune system, and neutralize free radicals. If that wasn’t enough, it also helps support cartilage and joint function and a healthy seasonal respiratory system.
Yes this is one heck of a fruit, which explains why so many companies are trying to do copycat imitations of mangosteen products after the original company, XanGo, successfully brought mangosteen juice to the marketplace.
Now the prime active “ingredients” in the mangosteen fruit are xanthones. This is what makes the mangosteen so potent. Xanthones are a type of phytonutrient. And in case you’re wondering what a phytonutrient is, it’s a natural, bioactive compounds found in plant foods like mangosteens.
Most of the xanthones are found in the rind of the mangosteen fruit. This is why you want a mangosteen product that has the rind in it. Good luck finding anything outside of Xango’s Mangosteen Juice.
There are a lot of products out there that claim to have the whole fruit in its composition. Most do not. When products state that they contain the whole fruit, they mean the part of fruit that is edible. The rind isn’t included in that definition which is why many companies can get away with saying that; they are deceiving people into thinking that they have the most important part of the mangosteen, the rind, in their product, in which they don’t.
The point is, if you don’t have the rind in your supplement then you are not getting the best benefit from this exotic fruit; in fact, you will get mediocre results, if any results at all.
If you have a product that has rind extracts in it, you must know that a chemical process was involved and that usually means alcohol was used.
Why would you buy a natural whole food supplement that uses chemicals to extract the nutrients? It’s illogical at best. It’s like shaving off all your hair so you can go buy a wig.
You know that doesn’t make sense, but yet people spend money on products that are manufactured that way. And the makers of these products are laughing all the way to the bank.
Look, if you’re going to plunk down your money for something, wouldn’t it be wise to get the product that is going to have the best benefit for you?
You are basically wasting your money on these inferior products. I’ve seen some of them and they’re a joke, not to mention potentially dangerous.
I seen a mangosteen juice product that looked like barbeque sauce-and I’m not exaggerating. I couldn’t figure out how a fruit that is mainly purplish red turn into a brownish thick-ish gravy-looking “liquid.” Not only that, the label for the product looked like it was made on a computer with a cheap printer. This is scary stuff!
I would suggest you be careful as to what you consume especially if it’s from a non-recognizable company.
All in all, if you want the best mangosteen juice on the market then go with the product that will give you the best bang for your buck. Don’t you think you deserve it?

Social Networks, WEB 2.0 is Alive

steve sughrim April 20th, 2008

Let me simply start with this. I am a huge fan of the fabric of social networking. I believe that it makes up a crucial piece of the online communication that is driving the consumer web experience. But I do think that social networks have undergone a significant and important evolution, even since 2004, which will continue to pay dividends for end users.

For what it is worth, to my mind we are now experiencing Social Networks 3.0.

Social Networks 1.0 were built during the late 1990s to enable the initial set of consumer services that created such excitement about the promise of the web. Services like eGroups/OneList, ICQ, Evite and many many more relied upon groups of users organizing and communicating on the web through coordinated networks. Those networks were not explicitly described as such but they were the underpinnings of these communications platforms.

Social Networks 2.0 began in the early 2000s when entrepreneurs got to thinking about the nature of their online networks and the power that could come of making those networks explicit. Services like Friendster, Tribe, Orkut, LinkedIn, Spoke emerged to allow users to organize their recreational and business networks. The focus of those services as they were first built was to enable the creation, growth and management of an explicit social network. In other words, the consumer experience of Social Networks 2.0 was around the creation and discovery of the network itself, rather than a particular use of that network.

I believe that we are now in Social Networks 3.0. After a fair bit of excitement and energy around pure play social networks, it became clear that the building and management of a social network was not, in and of itself, a compelling consumer experience. In a nod back to the earliest instantiations of social networking, entrepreneurs have come to realize that social networks are enablers of other compelling consumer experiences. Thus, social networks are becoming an important ingredient of all sorts of consumer experiences. Social networks inform the conversations that take place among friends on LiveJournal. Social networks enable the discovery of new music on MySpace. Social networks enhance the multi-player gaming experience at Xfire. Social networks now empower recruiting on LinkedIn. And dozens of new social networks are emerging to enable specific, valuable consumer experiences that are enhanced by the underpinnings of the network.

I am more than a little excited about Social Networks 3.0 because I believe that social networking will be a crucial element of virtually all online consumer experiences going forward. And truly compelling online consumer experiences will always make successful companies like Wowzza. Thus, I look forward to seeing how social networking continues to evolve. I see great things in the future for Social Networking 4.0, whatever that ends up being.

Be Recession Proof by Working from Home!

steve sughrim April 13th, 2008

del.icio.us Slashdot Digg Google Windows Live Netscape Yahoo Bloglines Ask Squidoo Blogmarks

So here we are, one quarter down and recession to go. Recession has become an unfortunate but popular topic in 2008. Some people follow strict definitions of what qualifies technically as a recession while others speak purely from opinion–or maybe they are speaking from the pinch they are feeling in their wallets. For most, they could care less what you call it; labels don’t make the impact they are feeling any better or any less painful.

In most industries, when things slow, something has to go. Will that be cutting back on seemingly frivolous expenses, going to fewer industry shows, reducing ad spending, or worse, cutting jobs? Like many industries, search marketing firms are considering these choices as well, and rather hoping that this slowing, downturn, recession, or whatever you want to call it, actually presents more opportunities than hard choices. Be recession proof by working from home.

Only time will tell, but I like to think the feeling that social networking companies may be able to find opportunities during these trying economic times are spot on. But don’t think this will just be a slam dunk–every opportunity also presents challenges. You need to get paid for being a member and referring members to any social networking site.

5 Tips For Staying Razor Sharp When Starting Your Internet Based Business…

steve sughrim January 28th, 2008

del.icio.us Slashdot Digg Google Windows Live Netscape Yahoo Bloglines Ask Squidoo Blogmarks

So, you’ve decided to start a Internet-Based business?

Good for you!

You’ve just joined the ranks of 79 million North Americans who are expected to start their own Internet based business in the next 3 to 5 years according to Forbes Magazine.

You may be juggling a full time job, a part time job and family life. You know that there are many things you need to do in order to successfully start your business and work from home.

Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking its going to be easy. It can be simple but it won’t be easy. If it were easy everyone would be rich working from home.

How are you going to fit your business project into your daily commitments?

It’s easy to become overwhelmed and lose focus. Losing focus will cause you to take no action. Action is essential to moving on from where you are now, to where you want to go.
Here are 5 critical tips for staying focused and razor sharp when starting your home business enterprise…

1. Do Your Research:

If you have a large task to tackle, it is always easier when you break it down into smaller components. You’ll find it easier to focus because you won’t feel as overwhelmed. Research the Internet for related type businesses. Call a few individuals and get feedback. Google the companies’ name and see what information you can find.
2. Keep A ‘To Do’ List:
Once you’ve broken down major tasks into smaller ones, make and keep a ‘to do’ list. Always keep a note pad and pen with you so that you can jot down any new ideas as they arise.

3. Schedule Your Time:
Every evening, decide on three to five tasks on your ‘to do’ list that you wish to accomplish the following day. Stay focused on these tasks and only move on to the next tasks on your list once these have been completed.

4. Set Goals:
This is critical. There is nothing that will keep you more focused than setting goals and writing out your goals. Visualize exactly where you want to be in a month, six months and a year.
In a month’s time, do you want to have registered a business name and have a fully functional home office set up? In three months time, how many clients or team members do you want? How much revenue do you want to generate in a six month’s time?

5. Say No:
Be assertive and carve out more time for your home business. Saying ‘no’ to that extra demand by your boss every once in a while can get you home one hour earlier a couple of days a week.
How about cutting back on the amount of housework that you do? How about watching less TV? Thats a BIG time zapper. Imagine how you could channel that extra time into your home business enterprise…
If you put these 5 tips into practice, you’ll definitely find it easier to focus and stay razor sharp so you can achieve your ultimate goal of working from home and putting more LifeStyle back in your life.

P.S. Pay particular attention to Tip # 3 above. As a Internet Home Business Owner and Entrepreneur, once you gain control of your time you will eventually have all the time you will ever need…

Frequently Asked Questions

admin November 30th, 2007

del.icio.us Slashdot Digg Google Windows Live Netscape Yahoo Bloglines Ask Squidoo Blogmarks

FAQ

 

 

Question #1: Tell me more about the products, what EXACTLY do I receive for $2500, $997 or $397?

Answer: DIAMOND members get ALL the products (over 2500 individual products). GOLD members get about two thirds. EDC members get about half. All software bundles are worth much more than what you pay.


Question #2: How do I receive payments on product sales?

Answer: Our members receive INSTANT payments from all 3 program sales. You get paid direct from your customer on each sale. You never have to wait on a check from us, which is how most companies operate. We have payment processors and “payment buttons” already set up and integrated within our back office for your customers to purchase our products directly from you and all you need to do is set up a free or paid merchant account to get started. We also have members who accept bank checks or money orders as payments too, it’s all up to you!


Question #3: How does EDC earn a profit if they give up to 100% of the commission to their members?

Answer: Simple, we charge $49.95 a month for EDC, $69.95 for EDC-GOLD and $79.95 per month for EDC-DIAMOND. Depending on which program you signup for determines your monthly cost. In other words, you pay ONLY for one monthly, never two or three. These monthly fees are for training, live support, consulting with the owners and to send your prospects to the owners. Also, the residual incomes are apart of the monthly cost.

We also offer a one-time $350 Admin payment option, which will give you UNLIMITED access to all of the above, with just the residual payment left to be paid. This eliminates all future admin payments for as long as you stay on as a member.


Question #4: Is this MLM (Multi-Level Marketing)?

Answer: EDC is a direct sales program. It is NOT MLM. With traditional MLM you would be lucky to see a 30% commission on your sales. Plus, they are designed as a matrix. EDC is not!


Question #5: Do I have to advertise?

Answer: Yes. This is YOUR business and in order to get traffic to your websites you must advertise. We show you how to advertise free as well as the best paid advertising methods. If you desire us to advertise for you, simply join our co-op advertising pool.


Question #6: Is this legal?

Answer: YES THIS IS LEGAL. We’re selling valuable software products to the world. EDC and their members are a worldwide distributor of software products. We do offer leveraged compensation plans and that sometimes is the cause to the confusion. Many patrons will pay for the products and never have the intention to market the business plan.


Question #7: Can I receive a refund if I change my mind about EDC?

Answer: EDC offers a 3 day (72 hour) rescission period. Refund request must be received within 3 day
