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.

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

Get instant targeted traffic to any offer. You have full control of your campaign as you can stop and start it anytime you wish.

I ran one campaign and got 175 leads!

In fact, I started getting clicks from the moment I published my ad. It was super easy!

I am currently running a second campaign and so far, I have gotten 262 leads.

What I Like

Easy to set up a campaign you choose niche, make money online, weight loss or health.

They recently added categories for English tier one countries and one for international tier countries.

It also allows you to pick traffic providers or leave it blank for all. Also, you pick countries or leave blank for all as well as devices, operating system, and traffic tags such as email, engaged, mixed, funnel, excess clicks, Facebook ads or webinar registrations. If you want all tags, you just leave it blank.

It allows you to set the maximum clicks, total & daily budget and for unlimited you can just leave them all blank.

What I Dislike

Really nothing but it might be helpful to have more tutorial videos. There is only one which appears on their main web page, and I don't see any videos inside the affiliate account.

Final Verdict

This site was recommended to me and so I decided to give it a try. I will let this campaign run for 10 days look at my results and then run another one. Will update my results here as I go along but so far it delivered leads quickly.

I set up and ran 1 campaign, spent $300 and got 175 leads not sure if I got a sale or not but I am promoting a high-ticket offer. I am pleased with the results, so I am running another campaign and testing with different offers. This is my go to number #1 traffic source that gets me leads fast.

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

I recently joined the list auction because this is another tool my mentor has been using to generate leads and sales and he is the #1 recruiter in several programs and I know using these he is getting 100 leads a day!

The List Auction is a powerful list-building and traffic-generating system that helps you build an enormous list of double opt-in prospects that are looking for what you have to offer... And you can start for free.

Think how fast your list will grow and how many sales you can rake in - especially when the people who are reading your emails have a track record of being action takers.

What makes The List Auction unique is not only getting traffic to your offers but you can also earn not just money but credits, buy and sell on auctions, send emails and run text and image ads.

There are 3 membership types starting with a free account where you get downline ads, earn 20% commissions, can send 26K emails a year.

The second membership is a silver account where you get downline and featured ads, 30% commissions, can send 109,500K emails a year for $12 a month, $29 for a 3 months or $57 for a 6 month package,

The third membership is a gold account where you get downline, featured, top mail ads and special offers, 40% commissions, can send 365,000 emails a year for $22 a month, $47 for a month's or $87 for 6 month's.

What I Like

The fact I have the ability to send 365K emails out per year.

What I Dislike

Nothing so far but they commissions mostly via crypto currency or a payeer, fayad, wise accounts which a lot of people may not be familiar with these.

Final Verdict

If your looking for more exposure and your opening to learning how to do auctions on this site I would highly recommend it and you start for free so there really isn't any risk to try this out. Some people may not understand how doing auctions could benefit them and skip this over.

Bob Johnson's review...
My experience with the program so far

I recently discovered localcityplaces.com and decided to give it a solid two-week trial before recommending it to others. Now, having spent some time exploring its offerings, I'm genuinely impressed. The platform is often described as a cross between Yelp and Groupon, but with a significant twist: you can earn money by reviewing local businesses! It's an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to supplement their income, whether on a part-time or full-time basis, by doing something many of us enjoy.

I encourage you to check out their introductory video and then sign up for free to start enjoying and sharing your reviews. An exciting perk is that if you're the first to register as a member in your city, you'll be designated as an Ambassador. This status grants you the privilege of listing your business for free on your page. Plus, if you're the pioneer reviewer for a company that subsequently signs up for advertising, you're entitled to a 20% commission. And the benefits extend five levels deep, offering substantial earning potential.

What I Like

I really like the idea of being part of a directory where I can share my opinions. It's fun, doesn't cost anything, and you can even make some money from it. It feels good to help local businesses by writing reviews, and it's nice to know that my thoughts can help other people find cool places around town. Plus, it's a bonus to support small businesses and see them do well because of my reviews.

What I Dislike

There are so many directories out there, making it a bit hard to get noticed. But, if Local City Places really takes off, it could go really far.

Final Verdict

I really like Local City Places. It's a chance to try something new without spending any money, just a bit of your time. With its very appealing compensation plan, it makes it a great oppunitity to consider diving into. It's fresh and exciting, and I think it's worth giving it a shot.

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

Traffic Hoopla has been around for as long as I can remember. It has evolved a lot over the years and has responded to the changing dynamics of the advertising industry as the traffic generation industry has evolved.

Starting out as a ranking service for traffic exchanges solely, Traffic Hoopla has never really pretended to be anything else other than a downline builder and a ranking service.

Over the years there has been much conjecture about the veracity of the rankings, but every week without fail, Hoopla's owner, Bill Carr has published his rankings. He doesn't shy away from the fact that he ranks each advertising service according to several key factors. These are and always have been:

  1. The authenticity of traffic.
  2. The volume of traffic.
  3. The responsiveness of traffic.
  4. The profitability of the affiliate program.

He has copped criticism from time to time about seeming to favor certain exchanges and not rating some very popular ones. However. He has been consistent in ranking traffic services according to his criteria.

From its humble beginnings of ranking the top 10 exchanges, Hoopla has now become a viral traffic generator of its own accord with specific sites dedicated to slightly different sections of the market. Besides the flagship program, Hoople also has sites dedicated to:

  • List Mailers
  • Traffic Exchanges
  • Viral advertising
  • Bitcoin earning sites
  • Rewards earning sites
  • Most profitable traffic earning sites

Each program draws you further into the traffic web, with several traffic sources (including Leads Leap) being consistently recommended across all sites.

As a traffic builder, Hoopla has proven to be more durable than anything else on the market, it also has the added bonus of generating some affiliate commissions over time.

What I Like

Hoopla first and foremost has a trust element built into its brand. It keeps on keeping on. By and large, its rankings (with the occasional surprise) are pretty close to my own perceptions. It is consistent, clear, and never wavers from its core purpose of building traffic. If you use this and recommend it to others, it will help you to build traffic over time.

What I Dislike

Some of Bill's emails are a little folksy for me, but that's really nitpicking. I'd like to see a little more how-to guides for beginners in the member's area as it can be a little confusing. Sometimes. , I fear that Bill's desire to keep things simple may be a little overzealous. But it seems to work for him - so who am I to judge?

Final Verdict

The Hoopla family should be part of your marketing arsenal. Preferably recommended on the back end of your marketing efforts. It is proven to work, helps build traffic, and has been around for almost as long as Traffic Exchanges. If you haven't joined, I think that you should.

Ray Trainer's review...
The Home Business Academy Review

I love the HBA (Home Business Academy) because it works! Everything that I was told about this All In One $25.00 business is incredible and I am very excited to not only save money with the digital products, but the community feels like a family that actually cares about my success! I love that a portion of the sales I make also go to a wonderful cause to help feed starving children! My only regret is that no one told be about it 6 yrs ago when they started! The owners really care to help people become financially Free with the 80% commission structure! Just Amazing!

What I Like

I must say this program is like none other than I have been a part of in the past. The tremendous quality of training is just unmatched in my mind. Mike and Paul are 2 of the most genuine and helpful people I have met online over the years. I love the Home Business Academy because it all about helping other to achieve their goal in life. I'll be short!

What I Dislike

I dislike the fact that I did not find this program sooner.

Final verdict

Not only is it 'newbie friendly' and affordable this is an opportunity for you to gain lifelong freedom. The training is like none I've seen. So thorough, with step by step instructions, and everyone in the community jumps to help you right away. It is hard to put into words how you feel once you become part of the family. You feel a sense of belonging from the very first day.
