My experience with the program so far
In a word: Horrible. I'm an experienced online networker and beyond any doubt, this is the WORST program I've ever seen. Highly disguised under comments of being the best and easiest. With this strong of an expression, it cannot be summarized in a few words. In short, it's not even a business opportunity (freely acknowledged by its owner and founder) but a unique emailing program.
From the user's point of view, it has no elements of business where you can take and control a positive and defined action, such as the wording in an ad or where to place it, and then measure the result to determine the best step.
You perform some actions, such as requesting additions to your openers list, with no idea of what is being said or where it's being posted. All you get is a certain number of new openers or people who are now assigned to you. You receive a downloadable list of names and emails, but there's no way to know if these are real or bots, and from this list, you proceed to send out emails. That's another story. But again, the bottom line is this is like playing the slot machines or gambling, and like gambling, some win and some lose.
My quantitative experience is that I religiously worked this program for 8 months, keeping good data, logging in, and posting daily. I invested a total of $1182 over this period and collected just $673 in commissions. I had another $112 due to me, but it wasn't payable until I hit the $300 payout threshold, with little chance of that happening with the remaining mail credits. When I resigned, I had 114,814 'openers' or contacts, which were considered by the company to be assets and could be exported to a .csv file, which I did. There was no guarantee if these were real names, bots, or otherwise, and using them, particularly under the new 'low bounce' rules, was not practical. Every legitimate 'bulk mailer' would not allow third-party emails to be uploaded or sent, so they had no value.
What I Like
Virtually nothing, other than the fact you could do this program with approximately 15-30 minutes of work time daily. I also like the fact the owner communicates regularly, typically weekly. Half of his generally hour-long updates are rehashes of the program, emphasizing that it is the only program on the internet that does all three elements of email marketing: providing a list to mail to, providing content to the recipients that can be monetized, and providing the mail delivery asset or program, including keeping the IPs fresh. After listening to nearly all the updates, you begin to learn that there is no valuable content that will tell you exactly what to do, and the disclaimer is: 'You all have different lists, and each has its own characteristics.'
What I Dislike
What I dislike is the way this is presented. It's offered as a free trial where you can learn how the program works and actually see that some people will open your emails, and that in the process, you are earning monetary credit. In my case, in the first 30 days, I earned $112.00. The catch is that you can't collect any money until you upgrade (the lowest upgrade is $97), and then you are not paid until your accrued commissions hit $300. While most commissions are eventually paid, many people report delays
Final Verdict
It's not a reliable, measurable, or repeatable business. It's an interesting gamble, much like playing the slot machines. The risks are probably about the same. The house (Bobby) will always win; for others, some will win and write rave reviews, while others won't. You will only find positives on their approved Facebook page as any negative comments are not allowed. If you have money to gamble, you can do this with as little as 15-30 minutes a day. Be sure to include the value of your time. Breaking even or only earning $500 after putting in two months or so is NOT a good investment.
I have resigned from this program and do NOT recommend it.

I've been an Affiliate Marketer since 1998, became an Internet Marketing Start-up Consultant in 2000, and began focusing on JV Brokering & Affiliate Program Management in 2003, resulting in the creation and launch of JVNotifyPro in 2005.
In an effort to stay on top of the latest Online Business strategies, I've invested my share of time and money into what I considered quality products and services. Just because I've been at this for the last 26+ years, doesn't mean I've learned all I need to know to continue doing business at a high level. Every day there's something new popping up, and if you don't stay ahead of the pack by continuing to be open to learning and trying new things you can quickly fall behind.
That being said, I've recently decided to invest in becoming a MAP (Master Affiliate Profits) backer. MAP is currently in the 2nd of 3 phases, and you have until June 26th 2024 to get in at the Platinum level for a one-time investment.
IMPORTANT! Just because I've known, and worked with, MAP creators John Thornhill, Omar & Melinda Martin for many years does not mean I was comped, or offered a special discount to get on board. I gladly paid what every one of the other nearly 800 MAP backers (thus far) has paid, and I consider it a bargain.
MAP focuses on helping its members become better Affiliate Marketers, which has always been the heart and soul of my work with JVNP/JVNW, so I consider it a match made in Heaven, featuring beginner to advanced training in list building, email, ad, & video marketing, blogging, social media, traffic generation and conversion, and more.
Additionally, if you decide to join me as a backer by June 26th, you'll have access to advanced features and benefits like a higher commission %, a 2-tier referral option, gratis traffic, and more advantages than I have time and space to reveal here, all for a one-time only investment.
Hey, listen you know that I don't directly sell to fellow affiliates and JV partners. The only reason I'm mentioning this is because I've personally invested in MAP, and I'm inviting you to do the same period.
If this is something you feel you and your business might benefit from, you can find out everything you need to know about MAP right here, including a webinar featuring John and Omar.
If not enjoy the rest of your day. ;)
Best,
