Overview

“The Insider Secrets To Marketing Your Business On The Internet” aka “Insider Secrets” for short, is one of the best selling home study course on internet marketing for the last 12 years running.

Apart from having a name that seems a bit too long winded, this home study course-slash-work program takes the approach of a teacher or shall I say an “Internet Encyclopedia” instead.

Some users even gave it the famous nickname, the “Internet Bible”, the holy grail of internet marketing, which in my opinion pretty much sums it up.

Through this step by step program, users are taught the “ins” and “outs” of internet marketing. Whatever you need to know about internet marketing are almost all covered here.

Practically all aspects of operating an online business, starting from choosing the appropriate business model all the way to getting the best out of the various traffic methodologies available are delivered in various different categories in this “All in One” course.

With the internet business booming and becoming widespread throughout the world, Insider Secrets promises to help eager students quickly learn how to succeed in the Internet world.

 

Company

Cory Rudl founded the Internet Marketing Center (IMC) after publishing his own book called Car Secrets Revealed.

This book, although not targeted to sell, became a huge success for him. Unfortunately, Rudl was ironically killed in a car accident in 2005.

At the time, his company was already earning over $40 million annually. Rudl’s partner, Derek Gehl took over the reins and brought even more success to the company.

IMC puts a great deal of emphasis on email marketing and other Internet-based tactics that have proven to be successful for them over the years.

And Insider Secrets is still one of their top selling programs since its introduction many years back.

 

Features and Benefits

The latest version of the Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet 2008 has a wide variety of new features as compared to its previous version.

The program features an improved home-study course that is very thorough and provides users of any level with a good deal of knowledge about Internet marketing as a whole as well as other more specific strategies like building your own email lists and increasing conversion rates, which are their forte.

Some of the major topics covered in the course include the following :

• Choosing a Profitable Business Model
• Finding The Right Products To Sell
• Creating Your Own Hot Selling Product
• Creating Your Own Professional Website
• Affiliate Marketing
• Drop Shipping
• Pay Per Click Marketing
• Blogging
• Traffic Methodologies

And many many more…

There are over 650 pages in the course which are split into separate 325-page folders.

Buyers receive 6 resource CDs that contain over 400 pages of additional lessons, video tutorials and information pertaining to marketing, along with additional software and resource files.

 

Product Price

This program isn’t of the instant download variety like so many other home study programs out there, so buyers expecting to get some MP3 audio and a cheaply laid out e-Book might be surprised at the professionalism of this program.

However, you’ll have to pay a pretty penny for these “insider secrets.”

Users can start a 30-day trial for just $1, but after that, the price of the program is $214.05 but still worth its weight in gold.

And if you do the maths right, the value of the 8 Bonus Gifts combined is already more than that.

All in all, buyers not just receive a hardcover program that comes in the form of 2 folders and 6 CDs but a proven blueprint with the necessary knowledge and strategies that can kick start your internet marketing business at hyper speed.

A word of caution though, if you are residing outside of the US like me, then you got to watch out for the International Shipping charges, it could be quite costly and I found that out the “Expensive” way.

 

Guarantee

Derek Gehl & IMC puts their personal guarantee on this program, offering an iron-clad, 90-day money-back guarantee if you’re not fully satisfied with the program.

 

Pros and Cons

Make no mistake about it, if you implement the strategies in this program correctly, you’re going to grow a successful company, just look at the track record of countless real life success stories of “Ordinary” people like you and me who have previously used this program and got the results.

Take another look at some of the alumni member’s list, and you will find big names like Rosalind Gardner, the No. 1 Female Super Affiliate Marketer, and Ryan P. Allis, founder of iContact.com, one of the rising powerhouses in the auto responder industry.

So it’s not like Gehl is promoting a scam here or pulling a fast one.

With hard work and attention paid to the program, you can certainly take advantage of his knowledge in the Internet marketing arena and avoid a few pitfalls that’s often associated with running an online business.

What “not” to do seems to be just as important as what “to” do if you wish to achieve online success.

Learn from other people’s mistakes and you can save yourself a whole lot of time, effort and resources.

If you are an internet newbie who has just began your internet marketing journey, then this program can reap huge benefits for you.

That is if you follow the Insider Secret’s program closely, put in the work required, you can be almost assured of growing a successful Internet business.

 

Caution

The major flip side that I experienced when I got my copy of Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet was that there’s simply too much information and so little time to understand and digest the strategies taught.

“Information Overload” is one of the major failing of this otherwise amazing program.

You just can’t read this entire collection of information like an open book; it’s a recipe for disaster, not to mention, a possible mental break down as well.

Trust me on this one, I almost went nuts trying to finish reading the entire program in a week.

Be selective of the strategies taught and chose the most suitable strategy to implement.

But for the more experienced internet marketers, treat it more as a guide or reference when it comes to implanting strategies they are not so familiar with.

Remember, what worked for Gehl may not work for you.

There’s lot of materials enclosed that may not necessarily be of help if you don’t need it at all, be selective.

And if you think want to make money in a hurry, then Insider Secrets is just not for you.

This is not a “Get Rich Quick” program, it is “Work Plan”, a blueprint to achieving online success if you are willing to learn and put in that extra effort called “Work”.

 

Conclusion

Overall, I would give “Insider Secrets” a 9 out of 10 if you are a complete Internet Newbie, just be careful how you choose and utilize the information contained within.

And for the more experienced marketers, a 8 out of 10 since some of the strategies taught may already be “old” knowledge.

But so keep an open mind when you go through the course, as you will still spot a few hidden gems in the making.
