Internet Marketing Firms - Why IMMACC Is One Of The Best

Internet marketing firms have an ongoing demand for up to date development and training . So is there a company that meets this need?

When I was doing research on various internet marketing firms looking for one that best fit my needs I came across IMMACC or the Internet Marketing Mentoring And Coaching Center. I have written this review based on what I have discovered . Even though it sounds like it, IMMACC (pronounced 'I Mac') has little to do with apple computers.

History

Originally named Big Ticket To Wealth, IMMACC was founded in 2008 as a company making and selling training videos, IMMACC has grown to be a dedicated training centre with arguably the biggest online library of internet marketing training in the world.
From its main focus of selling training resources to download, it now focuses on online training and has frequent live trainings as well as hundreds of hours of video based training available online for its members.
Its CEO, Gerald Van Yerxa, has been involved in online and offline marketing for over 30 years being the owner of radio stations and multi-media marketing companies as well as internet marketing firms.

Advantages

When you are starting out in internet marketing there is a very steep learning curve while you gain knowledge and experience. Some of the marketing methods IMMACC offers training in are -
Article Marketing
Video Marketing
Social Network Marketing
Blogging
Pay-Per-Click
Free and Paid Classified Advertising
Forum Marketing
Banner Advertising
Offline marketing Methods
to name a few

as well as training in such areas as -

Link Building
Social Bookmarking
Keyword Research
Autoresponders
Landing Pages
Sales funnels
and so on

On top of the in-depth, but easy to understand, video training IMMACC also offers a very attractive affiliate program that is only available to IMMACC members . It also has a great mentoring and support system with easy access to members who are achieving huge success.

Disadvantages
It is not inexpensive
The affiliate program only suits those willing to work hard or who already have a large marketing budget
You are expected to be a mentor to new members which may be challenging for some
There is an ongoing fee for maintaining membership

Summary
Although at over $2000 IMMACC is not cheap it must be remembered that nearly half of the cost is paid in affiliate fees as is the ongoing cost, also compared with a university course it is much much cheaper . Unlike many other internet marketing firms, IMMACC actively encourages members to develop multiple sources of income.
Gerald Van Yerxa's basic philosophy of ' succeed by being a servant to others' seems to permeate all of IMMACC and it appears to be quite an 'ethical' firm. Personally I like the fact that members have to place income disclaimers on their web pages.

I would not recommend that people who are unsure if they would like to do internet marketing, or those hoping for a quick return for not much work, become full members of IMMACC. Because of the the way it works the affiliate program it is skewed towards those willing to 'put in the hard yards' before they see success. In saying that, to quote the CEO "If you do not give up you will succeed."
In my opinion if you really want to succeed at earning an income online IMMACC is one of the best internet marketing firms out there.
