Scott Dubois's review...
My experience with the program so far

Hello and welcome to my review on GetResponse. Before I start this review I would like to say that this in the future will not be my main autoresponder if you go to my other reviews and check out my review on my other favourite autoresponder you can check it out. The other autoresponder I like is called SendShark and will be my main autoresponder in the future.

GetResponse has been an amazing autoresponder. I have had an amazing run with it. I would have to say that GetResponse and Aweber are the top autoresponders (Up until I found out about SendShark) in the Affiliate world.

The autoresponder is easy to use and easy to set up your account once you are on the inside. The system has normal features that every autoresponder has.

Forms to create HTML codes for your capture pages on other sites like LeadsLeap, It has your broadcasts, the autoresponder campaigns, it has a capture page and landing page builder, easy setup of different lists and an easy-to-see and use contacts list.

One additional feature I like about GetResponse in the contact list area is the ability to see how engaged your clients are.

Getresponse has a 5-bar system to show how engaged each client is bar 1 is not engaged at all.

Bar 2: Is at risk of going to bar 1

Bar 3: Is Neutral engagement

Bar 4: is Engaged

Bar 5: Is highly engaged,

Now I like this system better than other autoresponders because it is easier to see how engaged these people are. This makes it easier to Clean Your List! As I have stated in previous reviews Cleaning Your List Is like taking your dirty laundry to the laundromat or your own washing machine. Simply if you don't work on your list and don't "wash your Laundry" Your list will get dirty and it will affect your open rates and so on. It is extremely, EXTREMELY, important that you clean your list now and again.

After meeting so many of the higher marketers in our industry and speaking with them, like John Thornhill, Igor Kheifets, James Neville-Taylor, Dean Holland and many others they always say CLEAN YOUR LIST.

GetResponse does make this easy with their bar system which shows how engaged the client is. The unfortunate part is this is not like looking forward to clean laundry though... Sometimes it is sad to see clients go and sometimes I have to remind myself as sad as it is I have to do what is best for business and get rid of the unengaged people who are bogging down my open rates. I am seeing darn near 60% open rates because I clean my list regularly. I usually wait a month but no more than a month because a certain newsletter might bring them back which I have had happen. My mentor Igor Kheifets when he was teaching me said something in his training about "Resurrecting the list" and I have done that with certain campaigns not so much the list itself but more so with clients who went dormant.

Anyway, enough rambling on about that. This feature is truly amazing and easier than other autoresponders.

I also like their easy-to-use save-a-template feature.

Ever get sick of making an email and having to add your business logo maybe even your picture and a few other things every single time to every new email you write? I do too. They have a very easy-to-use save-a-template feature where you can keep a template you've made for the future. For instance, my current template is...

Logo

Body

selfie of myself

and then my whole body is preformatted to the regular 18 pt font and Georgia text which is a normal setup for emails in email marketing.

I know its a very short description of my template but really the only thing changing in that each time is the body of my email the rest of the template never really changes.

All in all GetResponse has been a really amazing autoresponder but of course, is no longer my top recommendation (As I said above see my review on Sendshark) GetResponse also has automation and stuff which the SendShark autoresponder lacks.

I don't really ever use automation very much anyway so really for what I use GetResponse for, Sendshark gives me the same.

What I Like

  • I like the easy-to-use autoresponder. It is very simple and one of the top autoresponders and can honestly say it is probably even better than Aweber in some aspects
  • I like the save-a-template feature as it is very simple to save a template with the normal setup you always use for emails
  • I like the engaged bar feature as I mentioned above it is really easy to see who is and is not engaged on your list with this feature.
  • I like how easy it is to set up emails with a few clicks of a button you can have an email setup in seconds
  • I like that GetResponse seems like one of the more professional autoresponders. I am all about being professional so when I see a tool that reflects that I really like it as I was brought up being taught about business and professionalism.

What I Dislike

Usually, I don't have complaints about systems that I thoroughly enjoy but this one on the other hand I do have a couple of dislikes.

  • Price- The price can be steep as I am paying 30 dollars a month right now for 2500 subscribers and that is not horribly bad but when you go past 2500 the price can go up from there. In my review on SendShark, I talk about the price for that autoresponder for 50,000 subscribers it is 25.00 a month or 300 for a year and when you get up to 50,000 subscribers with this one it is 245 dollars a month or 2940 dollars a year... Yea, that's going to be steep especially when I plan to take this Affiliate Marketing straight to the top and hope to have a huge list someday...
  • TOO PICKY... Sometimes when trying to import your subscribers from other lists on other autoresponders you own when those subscribers have opted into your list they don't like you importing them and will reject the import... Do it enough times and GetResponse will just bring down what I like to call "The Ban Hammer" I have never been banned by them but this makes it hard to switch over to them with a list from another autoresponder because they are too picky. I once tried to bring over a list from a different autoresponder because I was trying to get rid of it and they rejected it. They were prequalified leads but they wouldn't allow it...
  • Last dislike... They will take away campaigns and stuff if you knock back your subscription... Yup if you ever downgrade I got told that it will erase my work if I downgrade... That is sort of a kick in the pants considering that you did all that work into building those campaigns and they don't let you keep them there if you downgrade...

Final Verdict

My final verdict is I still think eventhough I had 3 dislikes about GetResponse that it is still worth it to the right person. If you don't care about the above dislikes and care to have a very professional autoresponder then GetResponse is for you. They are really amazing and really simple to use.

I said above that they are probably better than Aweber. I have had many issues with Aweber that I haven't had with GetResponse.

They are a great Autoresponder and I do stand behind them despite the dislikes. It was the very first autoresponder I started with and I have been really amazed.

I hope you enjoyed reading my review on GetResponse and I hope I have helped you make an informed decision on whether or not to go with GetResponse! Thanks for reading and I will catch you the next time.

Scott Dubois's review...
Hello everyone, and welcome to my review of TrafficZest.com. Here, I'll share my experiences with this platform and provide updates as I continue to use it. So far, my journey with TrafficZest has been overwhelmingly positive.

What exactly is TrafficZest.com? It's not your typical traffic safelist or exchange. Instead, it offers a unique and effective method for driving traffic to your site.

Remember the old process of hunting for a solo ad provider, setting up your campaign, and hoping for the best? It seems almost archaic now, though it was just a common practice a year ago. You would input your URL, choose your desired number of clicks, see the cost, and then send your payment, only to often end up disappointed with low conversion rates that didn't even cover your initial investment.

Traffic Zest changes the game. It still operates within the realm of solo ads but introduces a crucial innovation. You can set up an ad campaign on the site, choose your niche—like Make Money Online, Weight Loss, or Health—and select from top solo ad vendors to drive traffic to your squeeze page or website. You can even leave your options open for all top vendors to participate, which I highly recommend.

The geographical location of your traffic isn't a constraint either. You can specify countries or opt for top-tier countries to maximize effectiveness. You can also choose the devices from which your traffic will originate, be it mobile or desktop.

What sets Traffic Zest apart is its bidding system, similar to setting up a Facebook ad but without the high risk of overspending before seeing any return on investment. The site allows you to set a Cost Per Click (CPC) rate—for example, bids can range from $0.28 to $1.46. You determine a daily spending limit, and the platform will deliver clicks within this budget, ensuring efficient use of your advertising dollars.

This system provides flexibility to pause and modify your ad campaign if it's not converting well, offering a significant advantage over traditional methods. It's a user-friendly, less risky approach that still caters to the needs of serious marketers.

From my personal experience, the traffic from Traffic Zest is high-quality and comes from reputable sources. Setting up ads is straightforward, and there's plenty of guidance available online if you need it. In my ongoing campaigns, I've noticed that the traffic is not only engaged but also results in high opt-in rates, which is crucial for building an effective email list.

Pros:

Highly engaged traffic from top solo ad vendors.

Good opt-in rates enhance list building.

Controlled spending with daily limits, similar to Facebook ad setups.

Simple, stress-free setup process.

Cons:

As of now, there's nothing I dislike about TrafficZest. Should this change, I'll be sure to update this review.

Final Verdict:

Give TrafficZest a try! It's a fantastic resource for any online marketer looking to enhance their traffic quality and improve their list-building efforts. The affordability and effectiveness of its unique bidding system make it a superior choice compared to traditional solo ads. I regret not joining sooner, as the benefits have been substantial.

I do highly recommend TrafficZest To anyone willing to build traffic. I still have yet to spend my first investment in this traffic source as traffic comes in and still on the higher end of my initial investment.

I have received good traffic from this source and continue to monetize it. I think everyone should have this in their online arsenal.

Thank you for reading my review. I hope it provides you with valuable insights into TrafficZest and helps you make an informed decision about using it to boost your online marketing efforts. I wholeheartedly recommend TrafficZest for anyone focused on building a robust email list.

*UPDATE*

I have now earned 2 sales with this traffic and have earned MANY, MANY sign ups to a lot of my offers all off of 1 investment of 100 dollars. I did a review on my youtube channel too where I showed that I had sales from traffic zest. It is totally amazing and a great traffic source to truly invest in!

I highly, HIGHLY, recommend it. Also do keep in mind the results are not typical and at the end of the day... Your emails, offers, capture pages, and thank-you pages GREATLY impact what success you will have as this is a soload type website... But I have sales using this great website!

Ronnie 's review...
My experience with the program so far

Unlike other courses that leave you stranded with mere knowledge and no tools to execute, Funnel Freedom is your all-in-one companion, simplifying every aspect of the process from funnel building to email marketing, website management, and social media strategies. My experience so far has been awesome. The software, group support, and tech support are on point. Plus, I've made a hefty amount of recurring commissions.

What I Love

  • Free Ready-To-Use Course: Instant gratification for your email list growth.
  • One-Year Automated Email Feature: No typing emails. You get a year's worth!
  • Premade YT vids: Why reinvent the wheel when you can hitch a ride on the YouTube bandwagon? It's like borrowing your neighbor's Wi-Fi – free and easy.
  • Pitch Several High-Ticket Offers: Because who wants to put all their eggs in one basket when you can have a whole omelet? Options, baby!
  • No Cap on Content: Unlimited funnels and websites? It's like having a bottomless pit of creativity – dive in and never hit rock bottom.
  • Unlimited Contacts: Expand your audience like a magician pulling rabbits out of hats – except these rabbits are potential customers, not fluffy critters.

What I'm Not Crazy About


  • No Built-In Traffic: So, you've built your digital empire, but where are the people? Funnel Freedom won't send them your way – gotta shell out $1500 for that secret traffic sauce.
  • Too Reliant on Systems: Like leaning too hard on your GPS and ending up lost in the wilderness, relying solely on pre-made systems can leave you feeling stranded.
  • Expensive: Funnel Freedom ain't cheap, folks – it's like buying a Ferrari when you're still learning to ride a bike.
  • Confusing Choices: High-ticket offers galore, but which one to choose? It's like being a kid in a candy store – overwhelmed and slightly panicked.

Final Verdict

You know what? I'm all about it, man! As a coach helping regular folks dive into the online biz world, Funnel Freedom is like the ultimate gift wrap for affiliate marketing newbies.

Joy Healey's review...
Update March 2024

Just been reviewing my reviews at LeadsLeap :-)

Some I have deleted as they didn't stand the test of time, but The Downliner is still firmly on my favourites list. Sending me traffic (especially from the Social Posts). Just this morning I had a renewal commission from a long term customer, so he is presumably as impressed as I am.

My experience with the program so far


I first joined this program three years ago, then left it while I had a break from online business, but I always remembered it fondly.

So when I came back online and was reminded of it, I was pleased to restart my paid membership, and, within my first month, someone who found a site I'm advertising on The Downliner joined my business. That's more than covered the cost of my first month's membership.

Within my own contacts I have recruited two TDL team members who have been equally impressed with the site, Both have upgraded too, and stayed long term members. My commission was registered promptly (can be withdrawn when it reaches $20), although I tend to use it to buy further advertising. I found several 'free' members too, but it's not uncommon that T/E members stay free.

What I Like

  • There are 3 levels of membership, one is free and the other two are extremely good value.
  • Free members can earn from their referrals
  • There's a low ($20) threshold to withdraw your commissions by PayPal or Payza
  • You're only 'charged for' unique views, other views are classed as Free Views.
  • There's a lot to get my head round, but within the site dashboard another member has provided an extremely helpful explanatory video
  • Support is excellent, I even had prompt answers over the weekend
  • Paid members TDL can join the 'TDL Machine' which gives access to All In One Profits, a complete suite of business tools with plans starting at just $10 a month and paying an amazing $10 a month commission (even more for the higher plan levels). The TDL Machine will find you 6 paying members to get your AIOP business off to a flying start. I didn't join this as I already have an auto-responder, but for anyone with no a/r this would be a great benefit.
  • The TDL detailed stats show where my link is being seen and how long visitors stay on my site
  • You can earn 'shop points' to use in your own promotions, by promoting a co-op link
  • Otherwise you can buy 'shop points' at an extremely low cost, or by upgrading
  • You can 'win' points with a daily wheel spin, and I win regularly - maybe 75% of the time.
  • You can also earn points by clicking on solo-ads that come to my in-box, clearly labelled.
  • Traffic is coming from a vast array of sources including PTCs, Safelists, Traffic Exchanges, Classified Ads, CPC traffic and well as social media I received thousands of clicks in just a few days for 5 minutes 'work' placing my social media post link on the TDL ads section.
  • Most important of all, my links are being rotated on more traffic exchanges than I've even heard of. There's no way I could cover afford the time or money to promote on all those sites personally.

What I Dislike

I wish there was a way that I could target specific countries, but nothing else.

Final Verdict

Advertising on the Downliner is saving me a ton of time and money while building my list, and - most important of all - I know it's genuine traffic because I have already had an email exchange with a lead who took a paid upgrade.

Highly recommended.

Joe Marujo's review...
My experience with the program so far

Just 2 weeks ago this program launched. I was in profit on the first day. I started using the backup right away on my pc and happy to say it's fully automated and instant.

The iphone and android app is reported to be ready in just a few weeks. My wife will be happy since she has hundreds of photos of our grand kids on hers.

What I Like

The product has universal appeal. Everyone can relate to having a phone not back up because they're out of cloud space, or having lost photos or contacts because of a damaged or lost phone. Most of us run our entire business from a pc or laptop. Who hasn't lost files or media from a crashed hard drive?

For less than ten bucks a month for 6 devices, the comp plan is just gravy on top. 200% fast start commissions and check matching (very powerful) this really is a no-brainer!

What I Dislike

There's not a lot to dislike. If I had to nit-pick, I've never been a big fan of binary pay plans. Fortunately in this case it's just one of the ways that we get paid.

Final Verdict

For less than 10 bucks per month, you really can't go wrong here. Even if there was no compensation attached, this service would be worth it.

It's needed by everyone and really can't be beat at this price point.

Matt Houchins's review...
I started using Leads Leap a little over a month ago and I am very pleased with my results so far!

When I joined, I immediately upgraded to a pro membership and it has been well worth it. I have had 23 sign ups to my email list over the last 6 weeks.

I have also had several direct signups to the platform and many more followers. Most of the signup traffic I have received so far, has been from my pro ads on Leads Leap, so it has been well worth the money I spend to be a pro member on the platform.

I have also had several affiliate sales for a commission of $33 as a result of the signups to my email list. I have tried several other paid advertising methods, but have not had anywhere near the conversion rate that I am getting with the Leadsleap ads.

In my opinion the Leads Leap platform is well worth it, just for the advertising and conversion rate, I am very happy with my progress on the platform so far.

i definitely recommend that you give the Leads Leap platform a try, it is the best.
