Safelist Mailer
Joe Leech's review...
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.

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

Paid Per Letter was launched on January 15, 2024, is owned by Lisa Kryml. She made over $78K last year doing this program part-time and is now teaching others to do the same.

There is a one-time set up fee of $199.99 and there is an affiliate program as well which is a one-time $20 to set up and then $25 per month. The compensation plan is a 3 x 10 matrix. For every person in your matrix, you earn $5 which you might get some spillover.

If you refer anyone to the program, you earn a $100 commission. They pay you $5 for every letter you write, and they provide training.

This program is simple and if you're at least 18 years old and you can read and write you can do this program.

Earn money through hand-written letters. They teach you how to start earning up to $50-$75 per hour by writing letters to select large businesses all from the comfort of your home even with no experience.

After going through the course, which took me about 32 minutes and I wrote my post card and envelope and submitted for approval which they will review it to ensure you did it correctly.

What I Like

I like the fact you don't need to refer or sell anything with this program. It's so simple and you decide how much you want to do. For example, if you did 200 letters in a month you would earn $1K which is cool.

What I Dislike

So far nothing.

Final Verdict

This is the simplest program I have seen in my 12+ years in this industry literally anyone who can read and write can do this and earn.

This is perfect for stay at home mom's, retirees, students anyone who is looking to make additional money working full or part time from the comfort of your home.

My experience with the program so far

My Experience with this program has been great. It is packed full of great value and can honestly rev up anyone's earnings. Now I started out with this system and literally in 3-4 days I had ended up promoting it and got a 1000$ sale.

The webinar on the next page is 100% correct you can earn big commissions if you implement what is shown and be consistent in finding traffic.

That is the key to success in this online world which is CONSISTENCY you will see it everywhere and being consistent in everything you do will find you the commissions and sales you need and want.

What I Like

I like how easy it is to implement everything. Now I know in most of my reviews so far I have put into them that it is easy to implement mostly everything but that's also because I've been working with computers since I was 3 years old. Now I am not saying at all that it isn't easy for someone who doesn't have tech skills because honestly, this system doesn't need any high-tech skills or a PhD in technology.

DFY Stuff? Who doesn't like DFY stuff? I love it, especially traffic? Yes, there is done for you traffic, done for your email swipes, done for you just about anything!

I like the teachings of the fellow who runs the webinar. He is very soft-spoken and very good to learn from. I have worked closely with him for a year now and honestly, most of his things on the internet he is very soft-spoken and very easy to learn from.

What I Dislike

The stuff I learned from this webinar worked for me. I can say that honestly there isn't much I found that I disliked other than the fact that he has traffic from a blog that you can put your own blog into... I am not much of a blogger and haven't been ever so it is hard to know just what to write...

Thank goodness for AI stuff now huh? I just go and have GPT write the blog for his blog traffic and boom.

Final Verdict

Final verdict is You can learn a lot from this webinar. I did and I am thankful I did. When I had found this gentleman I had been in the industry (On real affiliate marketing) For a whole month... That is it... I learned and learned well and eventually found myself earning money from the stuff he mentioned in the webinar!

To be honest I have sought after much information because in a new world it is best to gain as much knowledge as possible and I learned from many people in this online world. Knowledge is power as they say and that is no different when learning a new business or whatever have you.

This webinar will teach much and the system will teach more. You can be earning a 1000-dollar sale like I did in 3 days or more or less. I personally enjoyed this. And will continue enjoying it

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.

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.

Costas Alba's review...
My experience with the program so far

Discovered Pictory while searching for an easy way to create videos for my content marketing. As a solopreneur, I don't have a big budget or video production skills. However, I know that video can help engage my audience and improve my website and blog SEO.

From the first time I tried out Pictory's free trial, I was impressed by how intuitive the platform is. Within minutes, I was able to turn one of my blog posts into a professional-looking video complete with AI narration. The video came out better than I could have done on my own. I've been able to experiment with their various video creation tools. The AI video generator and editor have been easy to use and produced great-quality initial results.

What I Like

One of my favorite Pictory features is how it analyzes my scripts and blog content to automatically extract key sections into short highlight videos perfect for social media. I've found these clips get much more views and interaction than static posts alone. It's like I have my video editing assistant working for me! The ability to add captions that boost watch time has also really increased my reach. I also appreciated the free plan which allows getting started without any costs. The quality of auto-generated videos is amazing.

What I Dislike

Processing times can be slow at times depending on the project size. Some more customization options in the editor would be better but again the excellent response from Pictory support also gets issues addressed quickly.

Final Verdict

Overall, Pictory has already taken my content marketing game to the next level. And with continued innovation, it will stay my go-to platform for all video needs moving forward. For any solopreneur or a small business just starting in the video, I wholeheartedly recommend checking out everything Pictory has to offer.
With Pictory AI you can harness the power of AI and amazing video creation tools to grow your audience while saving you time. They offer an all-inclusive free trial period without the need to use a credit card or pay any fees. So it is risk-free and easy for anyone to have a try and test what it can provide.
