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.

Esther Odejimi's review...
My experience with the program so far:

I purchased this software recently to help me discover and write Amazon Kindle books that will sell well on the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing website. I have been publishing on Amazon but not selling my books, which is why I bought this software called "Publisher Rocket. "

What I Like

I like the fact that I can discover hot-selling books in minutes and change the category of my existing books to gain maximum exposure and sales. Not only that, the software made me understand that some books on Amazon are listed under the ghost categories. If your book is categorised and listed under ghost categories, that means your books are hidden from potential buyers, and you will not get sales. In addition, Publisher Rocket will let you see the keywords your competitors are using that make them sell very well on Amazon. Publisher Rocket will also help you find the relevant keywords to use for your book and great headlines that will catch the attention of the target audience. Furthermore, with Publisher Rocket, you will be able to see at a glance whether a particular book and its category are going up or down and what you can do to stop the book from going down. This software is purchased for life, and you will get all future upgrades for free. The software, though targeted to Amazon authors, will also help with publishing on other platforms like Google and others.

What I Dislike

For now, I can't see anything that I dislike about the software. It is helping to not just write, but use it to research to ensure that the books will sell very well on Amazon before I put pen to paper.

Final Verdict

I highly recommend Publisher Rocket to both new authors and established authors. It will help individuals with a flair for writing discover the best books to write, the keywords to target, and the hidden secrets of other authors that make their books sell well on Amazon. It is good software as it will also help you on other publishing platforms like Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Google, and others.

Sally Chasm's review...
My experience with TL2I is it is 'pretty incredible'. As I have stepped up my interest in 'good' marketing systems, this has certainly met my expectations.

As I dig deeper into all that TL2I offers, I am really pretty blown away. In a very short time I was able to start building my own funnels, with the help of the TL2I team. Step by step instructions are provided every step of the way. I have created Lead Capture Pages, Thank you Pages, Splash Pages, Bridge Pages along with emails simply by adding a CODE to an email series.

Add to that, written emails, banners, email mailer, along with a massive amount of Affiliate Tools available in my back office. We have Free and Paid Traffic available every month.

And, you can read emails and MAKE MONEY! Pretty easy way to add a little extra cash in your pocket.

What I Like

The owner is very actively involved with the members of this platform. It doesn't matter which marketing tools you are using, you will find a place in one of the 'CHAT GROUPS' that supports your interests. And, he is available, personally, if you ever need him. That's very unique in this day and age of 'AI', etc..

What I Dislike

Sometimes it can feel a little overwhelming because there is so much offered... The good news for me, it is forcing me to be more organized (which is really a good thing vs a bad thing)

Final Verdict

TL2I is a complete system with a dedicated owner and a group of people that will always pitch in and help everyone that wants it.

And, the best part is all you have to do is put in the effort and you will be upgraded to new levels often, at no cost, that opens new opportunities. Yes, you can pay for that right up front and for the experienced marketers, that may be what you want to do. For the less experienced marketer, this system forces you to learn it, and rewards you for completing tasks that really help you understand the marketing skills needed to be successful in this industry.

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.

Dwaine 's review...
My Experience So Far

Starting on the Nexus Rewards journey has been a wonderfully intriguing venture. I joined 1/1/24 and it's now 2/18/24. As an online and offline consumer, I'm always on the lookout for programs that offer value to me while providing potential for growth and income. Nexus Rewards caught my attention as a program that promises to reward its members for everyday activities and purchases.

What I Like

The idea of earning cash back on purchases I would make anyway had outstanding appeal to me. The idea of getting cheaper phone, internet, household utilities, or legal services never occurred to me and I love getting those discounts. NexusRewards has a wide array of participating retailers, which means more opportunities to save--over 3,500 according to their website.

The user interface is straightforward, making navigation a breeze even for those who may not be as tech-savvy. Additionally, the potential for earning through referrals is a bonus, especially for someone like me who values the power of network marketing. I liked that the potential is there for everyone, but for those who don't like networking for money, the app is free to join and free to use.

Another aspect I appreciate is the customer service. In my interactions, (There's been more than a few! ) they've been responsive and helpful, which is crucial for any service-based platform. It's reassuring to know that if issues arise, there's a reliable team ready to assist promptly and clearly.

What I Dislike

No system is without its flaws, and Nexus Rewards is no exception. One of the drawbacks I've noticed is the variability in cash back percentages. While some deals are quite generous, others are less so, which can be a bit disappointing. It's important for users to manage their expectations and not assume uniform high returns on all purchases. I'm not sure what I expected here; but, like I said, no system is perfect.

The learning curve for maximizing the benefits can be steep for newcomers... If 30 minutes to an hour can be considered "steep. " It takes time and effort to understand the best ways to earn and redeem rewards, which might deter some lazy users who are looking for a more straightforward rewards program. So, it took me about an hour to get all set up, but I guarantee it's not rocket science.

Final Verdict

Nexus Rewards offers a compelling proposition for those looking to get more out of their everyday spending. The platform's strengths lie in its broad merchant network, ease of use, and the additional earning potential through referrals. While it may not be the perfect fit for everyone, especially those seeking consistent high-value cash back rates, it certainly has its merits. 40% cash back at some restaurants should be a no-brainer for anyone.

For individuals who enjoy exploring new avenues for savings and income, and who are willing to invest the time to understand the system, Nexus Rewards will be a very valuable tool. It's a program that rewards engagement and loyalty, which aligns well with my philosophy of building relationships and communities in business.

In the realm of cash back and rewards programs, Nexus Rewards stands out as an exceptionally noteworthy option. It's not just about the savings; it's about being wise and thrifty as a part of the community that supports smart spending and financial growth. With a bit of patience and strategy, Nexus Rewards can indeed be a rewarding experience.

Traffic Exchange
Judy Meeks's review...
I can not imagine why anyone would not want to join this program if they are serious about getting traffic to a website with traffic exchanges and viral mailers. I find that it is one of the easiest ways to get loads of credits and it is free.

It is also a great way to get referrals to many different traffic exchanges and viral builders. It is so easy to do to. All you do is log in, click on the 3 bars in the upper right corner and click on either traffic exchange promo codes or viral list builder promo codes.

Then you start going down the list clicking on the not a member link if you are not a member of that particular program or enter your affiliate id if you are already a member.

After you join the program you can click on the view promo code link to find the promo codes. Copy the promo code and paste it to the redeem promo code area of the program. This may be under advertising, set up advertising, redeem promo code, or another link depending on the program.

Traffic Codex will tell you how many promo codes are available, the average user rating and how many members there are in that program, but I would not go by the number of members because that is not always accurate.

I find that the time spent copying and pasting each promo code is well worth it compared to clicking my fingers off every day. This saves me a lot of time and gets me a lot of traffic to my website.

Overall I would say this program is definitely worth it.
