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.

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.

As a Social Media Marketing Consultant since many years I have had the privilege of guiding and training people from all walks of life who have the common strong desire of making a living out of the Internet.

During our first interview I recommend that they join LeadsLeap and have their account fully set up before we go any further in their training.

LeadsLeap has all the free tools and advertising platforms any newbie can dream of, and all that is accessible to the FREE member and even more to the PRO member.

I have been a PRO member at LeadsLeap for many years and I am always amazed by the new tools that Kenneth Koh, the creator of this wonderful program, adds all the time.

During my Internet marketing career I have been using marketing tools from various places, which in the end becomes very expensive, but with my LeadsLeap PRO membership I am regularly closing those accounts as new tools are made available on this platform.

It is extremely rewarding to have everything you need under one roof, which also saves a lot of money.

Also, the support system here at LeadsLeap is exceptional. I often had to call on Kenneth to sort out some problems I had come across, and without fail, a detailed response came back to me, and not just a ready made, one fits all type of message, but a personalized, step by step answer with screenshots when needed. The affiliate program is also another thing that is important to mention as it is exceptional. Indeed, not only that I can use all these wonderful and high quality tools, but I can also make a decent income when sharing the various affiliate links put at my disposal.

To finalise, yes it is one of the best, if not the best marketing platform I have come across during my online career... Highly recommended!

My experience with the program so far

I joined the Home Business Academy Affiliate Program about 18 months ago and it has been one of the best choices I have had with any affiliate program. Being an online marketer for 15 years, after investing considerable amount of funds in various other programs, early-on, I find the HBA has just about everything an online beginner to the experienced marketer will need.

The co-founders and support staff are very helpful, responsive, knowledge-based and professional. They take the time to answer the questions or concerns the affiliates may have. Real people, faces and voices, there to answer questions.

What I Like

The commission structure is one of the best offered in this online space, and paid weekly. This residual income is paid month after month for as long as your signup remains a member. The HBA program has provided the right platform to steadily grow my online business.

What I like is there is not any real selling involved. With the HBA I can offer this affordable program even when someone might say 'No' to my original, other product or program offer.

The HBA platform can be used for online and offline businesses. You can build funnels, pages, merchant sites, community programs, and more, and market them across any market location.

What I Dislike

There's nothing I dislike about The Home Business Academy. Being experienced the start up was quick, the online help and videos are clear walk-you-thru, A-Z.

For the newbie the amount of information could be overwhelming at first, but the Monday thru Friday live online sessions, the Q&A, the over-the-shoulder instruction, should not leave anyone with a feeling of being 'lost'.

Final Verdict

The Home Business Academy is an excellent resource for entrepreneurs of all levels. It's affordable, reasonably priced, and stays current on what changes are happening in the market.

The HBA has 11 live events Monday thru Friday, available for replay. Many are over-the-shoulder training by the co-founders and other successful affiliates of the HBA.

Whether you're interested in starting up a home business from scratch or refining your existing small business model, the HBA can give you the resources and advice you need to succeed and grow

Furthermore, their generous monetary support of an international program to feed starving children is an important part of the heart-felt center of the company and affiliate community.

I would recommend this program to anyone looking with a desire to grow and take their business to basic or highly, experienced levels.

My experience with the program so far

LiveGood is the latest health and wellness program from Ben Glinsky and it is launching now. It features a unique global powerline marketing structure and a very powerful compensation plan. I have been in several of Ben's programs in the past and did very well. You may remember Stiforp, MyWorldPlus, SkinnyBodyCare and Brain Abundance. Fortunes were made and the company has paid out close to a billion dollars in sales at this writing. I joined just yesterday and already have earned over 400 dollars! See latest update below.

Update: It's March 24th 2023 and we have now earned $8,151.16 with 3,788 members on our team! We used Leadsleap to recruit over 100 personal referrals. Don't miss out. Join me today!

Update: It's December 24th 2023 and we have now earned over $30,000 with this program! Join me today!

Update: It's May 12th 2024 and we have now earned $40,834.34 with this program! It's not too late. Join me today!

What I Like

Low cost program. Low cost high quality products and 6 ways to get paid!

What I Dislike

They advertise you can make money without referring a single person. Technically it's true, but very unlikely. If you want to make any significant income online, or anywhere else for that matter. You have to work!

Final Verdict

I believe this to be Ben Glinsky's greatest program to date. I invite you to join my team!
