Who Can Join the AUIC?

If you are active in or plan on starting a career in using the internet in business and consulting and wish to aggregate the knowledge and purchasing power of like-minded people and vetted answers to your everyday business and personal interests, you are eligible and likely to benefit greatly from a membership in the Association of United Internet Consultants (AUIC). The AUIC is a non-profit Association that has no political purpose, affiliations or objectives other than to educate, promote and provide internet business consultants and businesses with useful business and personal information that can lead to educated, experienced and economically wise choices and decisions in the pursuit of their professional and personal lives.

Why Join the AUIC?

AUIC member internet consultants and businesses recognize how many product and service providers are using the low-cost efficiency of internet education, marketing, sales, and distribution to lead the consumer to a rational purchasing decision. The internet promotes lower costs of education, marketing, and distribution, and this professional knowledge can help clients and businesses create profit through efficiencies and savings.  The AUIC member must agree to a code of ethical and professional business conduct and give back to the members useful and professional trade information.  The aggregating of numbers and the sharing of knowledge within the AUIC affinity group leads to better decisions in purchasing services and products.
