Mark Hodgetts's review...
My experience with the program so far

Secrets of the Big Dogs has been an information product in circulation since 2001 and it remains just as relevant and important today as when it was first released. The program has two main components -

  • an eBook which can be purchased for a one-time cost of $7. The book has been described as the most dangerous eBook on the internet and while I'm not given to hyperbole, I can see why it is described as such,
  • an ongoing "CHIP"(Coordinated High Income Portfolio program that costs $10 per month.

The entire concept and program is the brainchild of Stan Stuchinski who makes himself available to all members via phone or email.

I became aware of this program a decade ago, but rather foolishly wasn't prepared to part with whatever the cost of the eBook was at that time. I've come close to purchasing the book on several occasions and finally took the plunge a month ago.

I'm twenty-two years late to the party, but it feels like I've come home.

What I Like

First and foremost I like Stan's writing style. It is a style that I can relate to. The content is spot on and is delivered in a no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners kind of way that leaves you with no illusions of what is required to succeed online. I particularly like the section where Stan outlines the characteristics of "Alpha Dogs. " I found the way that was written to be inspiring.

The formula for success is simple but requires commitment and some patience (2 characteristics of "Alpha Dogs").

After reading this book, I honestly believe that the prospective marketer has two choices - EIther take the action suggested or shelve their dreams of internet success.

What I Dislike

I can't say that I agree with every choice Stan makes in his CHIP portfolio, but I do agree with the vast majority. I actually contacted Stan in regard to this and he was quick to assure me that the program I queried was under review and may not make the cut in the next edition. Either way, it wasn't a deal breaker, as I could simply choose not to be involved with that program.

Final Verdict

I believe that Secrets of the Big Dogs is a must-read for any prospective online marketer be they a novice or a seasoned professional. It pulls no punches, lays out an achievable plan of action and backs up that plan with outstanding responsive support.

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

Hello and welcome to my review on Affiliate One. In this review, I am going to delve into the Affiliate One system and talk about the various things they offer. Now I will mention if you are an extra information hog and like lots of information then this is perfect for you. Why I say that is because the advice and ideas you get inside the system are extremely useful especially if you are looking for some new ways of marketing or even just finding out other traffic sources... Well you get the picture Affiliate One offers that.

I really think that as marketers we should always learn things the further into the business we go. Ditch the things that don't work and keep the things that do. Maybe something won't work for you but if it doesn't at least you can put it on the back burner for now and keep it in mind for a time when you find something that the specific strategy will work or whatever.

I am an information hog so I love to gather information and though I may not use it right now most of the information I have gotten over the past year and a half has always in some way shape or form given me an AHA moment and if it didn't then it does later on.

Now, Affiliate One. In this system, they provide you with the normal average details. (Now again you may know how to make a landing page or use an autoresponder but the way they do things may give you more ideas. ) What I mean by average I mean we should all know how to create a squeeze page (If you do not and you haven't created one I have to ask... What Are You Doing! ? Go make that squeeze page because THE MONEY IS IN THE LIST! )They also teach you the normal basics like creating the Thank you page and so on. They give autoresponder training and so on.

They also teach you within the system another way to do follow-up emails and so on. This is the perfect low-cost course if you want to learn extra details on things like that because maybe you just want more ideas for creating follow-ups or more ideas for creating landing pages.

I like any information that I can add to my business so that I can get the best experience possible and that's why I say it's almost best to be an information hog.

They go in-depth on things like creating a rotator, and even how to CLEAN YOUR LIST! I will say right now... To anyone who doesn't clean their list, you are doing it wrong... I say this because to improve open rates, click rates and much more YOU MUST BE CLEANING YOUR LIST UP! . It is like washing your dirty laundry on Laundry Day... If you aren't doing this you will NOT see open rates of 60-70% you will see 10-20% which is horrible. So you must be cleaning the list!

Good details inside this gem so far. Then they go into traffic. Now they explain one source of traffic that I do like and from a website that I like that is called Udimi... If you do not use Udimi you can get the perfect information inside of Affiliate One on how to use Udimi with ease and how to find perfect vendors for your traffic. Trust me it is a breeze once you figure it out. I find the best vendors now on Udimi because of the learning inside of Affiliate One and I got this info from them last year.

They do delve into other traffic sources as well.

They offer 5 great bonuses that include some extra training like how to make 10k in 30 days, (Which for some people can be the case but you need to understand that the results are not typical which means it cannot be guaranteed... No one can guarantee that and you are kidding yourself if you think it can be promised or you are looking for that magic pill that makes you that much every day. So some people will have that result but not everyone can have that result either way it's a free bonus. It is always good to have extra case studies too. ) They offer a bonus funnel, they offer something called the QuickFire Commission Method, and they offer follow-up email swipes and guaranteed approval to promote affiliate one should you choose.

They also have support and various other things.

I did learn quite a bit myself from this and at the very most think that extra information even if you think you know everything about the above things I mentioned you should still acquire information as it is always good because maybe you'll find a hidden nugget inside that can be added to what you are already doing. For me, it was promotions and learning other traffic sources.

What I Like

  • I like the bite-sized training they offer. Many great pieces of information that can be used to give you more understanding of this online terrain.
  • Great support
  • Great email swipes
  • Great Ideas and various things that you need to look out for in the business.

What I Dislike

Now one thing I did dislike was the fact that when I went to set up the bonus funnel they asked you to get ClickFunnels. I am sorry in advance to the people who stand behind ClickFunnels but for the price you are paying for ClickFunnels, I don't think it is worth it... I think maybe Russel Brunson is onto something with click funnels but it is not my cup of tea and honestly I have WAY cheaper alternatives that I use that don't require 90 dollars a month...

That is really my only dislike as the training was all very well put together but unless you already have clickfunnels or have been thinking about getting it then the bonus super funnel will be good for you however in order to use the super bonus funnel you need ClickFunnels.

So that gets rid of one of your bonuses if you don't want to get ClickFunnels which is unfortunate but other than that the training was good.

Final Verdict

My final verdict? Well, I think it is well worth the price to get some extra information and who knows maybe some hidden techniques inside the system will give you an even greater knowledge about how to make it in this online business world. It gave me lots of information when starting out.

It wasn't the main course I took that got me started in AM but it was definitely extra information while building my business that I needed to hear as I was still putting certain things together and just looking for more information on where I could go to get traffic and whatnot.

This course can be a great starting point for many beginners too. For 16 dollars you get to learn the business and get a round-about idea of how it is done.

I think it is worth it and I think the pros outweigh the cons. Thanks for reading and I hope it gave you some information on this system and I hope that if you decide to get it, it will be as helpful to you as it was to me! Have an awesome day!

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

Hello and welcome to my review of Cliqly. I would like to start out by saying I am simply writing this review to inform you and warn you about this company as they started out great and I did make profit but certain things have happened in between being good and now being a company that I am thinking of starting a lawsuit against... Let's get to it.

My experience with the system had been great right up until the fall when things fell apart MAJORLY...

I had been paid up to 3000.00 or more in commissions at this point and had been making profit. To those who say it isnt possible it is you just need to know how to spend smart and not buy the sales and know how to outweigh prices like you would do when you go to a grocery store and outweigh a sale price with another item that is possibly cheaper or whatever.

Cliqly was a system where you could build a business the right way... Or at least thats how it seemed. I did start to build a very good business was tier 5 and had 162,000+ on my list. I had got paid up until the fall and I had not got my October payment. This was my own fault because my bank gave me the wrong information and I missed my payment due to this...

November I had been given my November payment and had made quite a bit while winning a contest and then came December and January. I didn't get those payments... Now being owed 1000 dollars more I have simply stopped with this company and have talked to support about such things as my payments are missing and furthermore telling them to cancel myinboxpro WHICH they still haven't done and I am still getting charged every month...

See why I am phoning lawyers?

What I Like

Well I did like the simplicity of the system, how easy it was to build your list and how easy it was to email them every day... I did like getting 1-2 payments a month and it was a nice passive income for my business...

What I Dislike

Up above I explained about how I have not been paid 3 payments now and they keep charging myinboxpro and wont refund or stop the payments.

They claim that they don't have enough staff to deal with an "Influx" That happened last year around April and kept going up every month since... Though this could be true and this influx could have screwed up the system as they claimed that a lot of the new members were putting in the wrong bank information (which again I could see as this would create back logs that would jam the system) and they don't have the payment staff to back pay people which they are "Looking" For new staff, it has still created QUITE a strain on the good system they had...

CEO Bobby Jones keeps saying that they will have everything in working order soon but they have been saying this since November and I held onto that promise as I had been paid in the past but still have not seen ANY of my 3 payments paid to my account especially when I am still within my first year and a half of marketing and still need that money to back my business...

I have threatened them with lawsuits and many other things as well as trying to be nice in emails and have not received anything. The support staff don't answer anymore.

Final Verdict

My final verdict is If you want to chance this system then go for it but my true 100% Advice is stay away from Cliqly as it has gone way downhill... People hve been walking away way too much and I hope that you can heed my warning as I do not trust them anymore...

Bobby keeps saying they are working on it but I don't feel these problems should persist more than a month. Staff are easy to find, System problems are easy to fix (I have my own website that I have had to work on and mind you its not as big as cliqly but my website took 2 days to fix without any tech staff when I had issues... ), and payments should be handed out more often if they are behind...

Either way I hope this warning will help you see that this system is not worth the trouble. Take it from someone (Me) Who is going through calling lawyers and news systems to take them down as they should not be allowed to harm people especially when we are trying to get financially free and they seem to be harming peoples funds now...

Good luck and please stay away from this system.

Update: I am still seeing people promoting this no-good program. I finally got myinboxpro cancelled and got my money back on all purchases but still not my pays... I think people need to stay away from this 100%

Donald Lowery's review...
My experience with the program so far

This is a new program, and so far has been pretty good. They publish training videos, and host live zoom calls. There is an official Facebook group page as well as an internal social media account where you can mingle with other members. I really like that they take the time to check all reviews to ensure they are not put up in order to try and "game" the system.

What I Like

I like the fact that Local City Places is free to join for anyone. I also like the fact that you can earn income from those reviews, but you don't get paid for the reviews themselves, you get paid if the business decides to come on board as a featured business. You need to post honest reviews (good or bad), and they are all checked by a real person to ensure quality vs quantity. Think of it like Yelp or Google Reviews, but you can earn an income.

What I Dislike

The only thing I can say I dislike would be that it can take some time for a review to post, because they are all manually checked (not that this is a bad thing), so it can take a little bit of time for reviews to get posted.

Final Verdict

I would say that Local City Places is a great place to join and post honest reviews for businesses. If you post the first review, and a business decides to join as a featured business you will be paid for each and every month that business stays on board. Can you imagine having a few businesses deciding to come on board as a featured business and getting paid monthly based on that?

There is no sales, you don't have to convince anyone, or any business to come on board, all you have to do is post an honest review, good or bad, and they will take care of the rest. It's just like posting (or reading) reviews on Yelp or Google. I say why not. It really costs nothing but a few minutes, and it's free to join. It's a total win.

Linda Bomba's review...
My experience with the program so far

The best affiliate marketing program in this industry. It has a 64% success rate which is unheard of in this industry.

They build a funnel for you and import 50 follow up email messages into an auto responder which they do recommend you use Aweber. Most programs do NOT set up a funnel for you it is something you have to do yourself so if your technically challenged this is great!

They funnel is a hybrid which means people have the option to go directly to the sales page and buy or book a call with someone. These are staff who are closes sales for you on the back end. I recently made 3 sales that they closed for me that I don't know if I would have made those commissions without them having closing sales people working for all of their affiliates.

What I Like

I have gotten my best results in the over 12 years I have been online. I made $14K in 31 days implementing what this program teaches.

They have brand new community with gamification with bonuses to make learning fun. Access to exclusive contests with insane prizes get a chance to get your dream vacation paid for!

Additional new video lessons consistently being added and currently we have 17 live calls each week and new app which will be launched soon.

What I Dislike

I am loving this program and its one of the best that I have found in my 12+ years of being online. What I really haven't like is the merchant account they use as I am still getting use to how they set things up and in the beginning it was a bit of a challenge getting it set up and hooked up to my bank account.

Final Verdict

This program is especially great for new people and anyone who is technically challenged as they set up your funnel and the email sequence for you. They are 50 follow up emails that go out directly from your auto responder to all your leads.

Truthfully all I do is drive traffic to my funnel and the funnel and the sales people on the back take care of the rest. Its like having your own little army working for you 24/7 and I love the fact I woke up to a $6K+ commission while I was sleeping!

If you're brand new or you have been at this for awhile and your not getting the results you definitely want to check out this program.

It has been life changing for me as well as so many others.

List Building
Cris Wood's review...
I joined CLB Learning in August, 2023. Since then I have added over 100 quality subscribers (and counting) to my list and have gained many referrals in the programs I promote thru the CLB funnel system. And that has been with minimal use of the system on my part. Because of the results I have been seeing with the CLB Learning system, and all of the list building skills I have learned thru the owner and community, I am now focusing primarily on CLB to help build my list into the thousands thru 2024 and beyond.

Contact List Builder, or the CLB Learning system, is a free email list building program that was created by Janet Legere in 2003. It is marketed as a 3-step blueprint that teaches it's members the time-proven methods on how to set up funnels, best ways to get traffic to these funnels, build their list, and promote their programs at the same time.

This is a true self-funded list building and money making system!

The CLB Learning program uses Leads Leap as it's primary list building platform. The CLB funnel pages have share codes for capture pages, landing pages, and email series. Having a Leads Leap Pro account is highly recommended, however, the CLB Learning system works great with free Leads Leap accounts.

Janet is a very pro-active and hands on owner/admin. She does live weekly trainings where members learn how to effectively use the CLB Learning system, in-depth training on using Leads Leap, how to use mailers, and anything else that member's may ask for training on. For those who would like to share their areas of knowledge, or to work on their presentation skills, Janet even gives members the opportunity to step up and give some training during these lives.

Although CLB Learning has all the tools and resources needed to build a list at the free level, there is an option to upgrade to Lifetime Pro for a one time fee of $97. The Pro level comes with the following additional benefits:

1. A personally branded blog.

2. Lifetime upgrades at Janet's 4 mailers.

3. Members' affiliate link added to the CLB Rotator.

4. Personal consultation with coach Janet Legere.

There is nothing in the CLB Learning system that I am unhappy with or dislike. It is the best list building system I have been in for over 20 years online.

I would highly recommend CLB Learning system to anyone who is serious about building their email list, or wanting to improve their list building skills while building up their primary business at the same time. The price is unbeatable at free, and the very affordable lifetime upgrade offers much more than other similar programs I've seen that charge the same price on a monthly or annual basis.
