EDC GOLD is a 2 up program that is creating some stir in the home business industry. What exactly is going on and what is all the commotion about? I wanted to plunge into this on behalf of any newbies out there who are looking to start an internet business. When I first started looking into all these programs and seeing all this jargon, well, it left my head spinning. So, what was the difference between a 1 up and 2 up versus a 0 up and what do all these terms mean anyway? Is one better than the other?

EDC Gold, Easy Daily Cash, Passport To Wealth, Road map To Riches, Predator Marketing System, Prosperity International, Emerald Passport, Advantage Conferences, Coastal Vacations & Liberty League to name just a few are what you would consider a 1 up or 2 up program. So exactly what does this mean? That is where you pass up your 1st sale to your sponsor (in the case of a 1up) or your 1st and 2nd sale to sponsor (in the case of a 2 up program such as EDC Gold).

So what is wrong with that you might ask? Well quite frankly I am going to let you be the judge of that. Let's just take a look at a 2 up program for example so you can draw your own conclusions. And I will use EDC Gold for example.

EDC Gold is a direct sales company specializing in sales of digital products including e-books and software that can help enhance websites. They also have a new program called the Promo Black Box, which is also an online marketing training program that includes bi-weekly webinars. Their compensation plan is an Aussie-2up. This means that your first two sales you make are passed up to your sponsor. Once you have made two sales you are now qualified and the third sale you make is yours. You then break away from your sponsor and become their competition.

When you join EDC Gold you have to pay your sponsor $997. You also pay a one time administration fee of $49. You also pay a monthly fee of $49 which can be eliminated by a onetime payment of $350. The last three fees are fees you don't find out about until you begin your payment process..

In close, 1 up or 2up programs can be lucrative, but for the newbie however this can become discouraging by having to give away sales and then be in competition with their sponsor. Also, will there be any help or support once you break away from your sponsor? Another important thing to look at is the growth of the company and where they are headed as well as the viability of the products.
