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.

Frank Svendsen's review...
My experience with the program so far

I joined GOT Backup in late 2023, and primarily bought it for the cloud service. I looked at the website what was included, and quickly determined this is a great deal. I have tried several cloud services, including those "one-time price" types that disappear after a year or 3. But GOT Backup is from a company operating for many years, so I knew I could trust this company. They own their office building where all equipment is, servers, backup power system, RAID system, Argon fire control system, etc. They even use an off-site backup solution that kicks in if everything else fails (which is nearly impossible). GOT Backup is without a doubt a trustworthy company.

Enough of that, let's talk about the juicy stuff. What do you get when you invest just $9.95? It can't be much, right? Wrong!

For under $10, you get a whopping 6 Terabytes of cloud storage! 1 terabyte allows you to store roughly: 250,000 photos taken with a 12MP camera OR. 250 movies or 500 hours of HD video OR. 6.5 million document pages, commonly stored as Office files, PDFs, and presentations. Plenty of space, in other words - you get 6 times that!

Not only that, you can add 5 accounts, so you can share this space with your family. The extra account holder doesn't even have to live at the same address as you, as some require. No - you decide who you want to share this space with. Or keep it all for yourself, it's up to you. One cool usage can be to create accounts for your kids, so they can backup their extensive amounts of pictures to GOT Backup, instead of costly iCloud or Dropbox accounts. Just a free tip :)

One unique thing with GOT Backup is that you can install it on UNLIMITED devices! That is so cool. But I would create an account for each person, as you will sync your device to your designated account in the cloud. Could be messy with everything on one cloud account, haha.

What I Like

You get a lot for under $10. 6TB of data, 5 extra accounts, unlimited devices on all accounts.
The speed of the app and software is impressive! It syncs Gigabytes in minutes!

What I Dislike

There is only a migration tool from Dropbox and Google One. So if you want to migrate from OneDrive, you have to figure it out. But luckily, it is extremely easy to do, and GOT Backup has a great support team ready to help. Also, if you decide to join from my link, I can set up a Zoom to help you get started - at no cost of course. Contact me if you need help.

Final Verdict

To go for GOT Backup is a no-brainer. For under $10 you get 6TB of cloud data on extremely secure servers in USA. You can add 5 accounts for your family or others. And if you want, you can even earn money by telling others about it, as they have an excellent affiliate system that is unmatched in the industry!

Frank Lefebre's review...
My experience with the program so far

I call Leadsleap "The Internet's Best Kept Secret! "

Hi, my name is Frank Lefebre from Columbus, Ohio. I have been in network marketing for over 30 years. I have been full-time since 2009. I have used Leadsleap tools since 2008 but never promoted it as a business opportunity.

One day I was looking around the members area and discovered I had $163 in commissions (at 25%) and a downline of over 200. People joined from the tools and a few of them had upgraded. I thought "what if that had been 50%? " I immediately upgraded to Pro to earn 50% commissions and I started promoting. To date I have earned close to $4000. (see updated stats below! )

Update 12/18/22:
Total Followers: 634
Total earnings $1364.65

Update 3/8/23:
Total Followers: 740
Total earnings $2072.15

Update 7/14/23:
Total Followers: 890
Total earnings $3179.20

Update 9/24/23
Total Followers: 950
Total earnings $3670.65

Update 11/13/23
Total Followers: 1017
Total earnings $4011.05

Update 2/1/24
Total Followers: 1085
Total earnings $4623.10

Update 4/1/24
Total Followers: 1124
Total earnings $5089.40


I wish I had "discovered" Leadsleap sooner. Don't make the same mistake.

What I Like

I love the tools and particularly the landing page builder and autoresponder.

Residual monthly income. Even free members can earn!

Pro Members can have their ads shown in the network 24/7 without credits. Pro Members also have unlimited lists, pages and popups, and access to several other advanced features. You can check it out in the Member Area. Pro Members also earn 50% commission and get free followers.

What I Dislike

You don't get your referrals' contact information (privacy rights) therefore I suggest making a capture page for Leadsleap if you plan on following up with referrals.

Final Verdict

I absolutely love Leadsleap and highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about building their online business and income.

Frank Hudacek's review...
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.

Edward Keyte's review...
My experience with the program so far:

I have been using LeadsLeap for about three years now, and I must say that it has been a fantastic experience. This platform has escalated my online business by providing all the necessary tools and resources to generate leads, track where it's coming from and nurture those leads using the funnel builder that's all built-in and in-turn brand myself that then allows me to generate sales, and signups to by business and build a huge following. It has helped me save money and time by providing a complete solution for all my marketing needs.

With LeadsLeap I have earned almost 10k, 552 referrals, and 4128 in my downline. Leadsleap never ceases to amaze me with all the new features getting added to the platform.

What I like:

The first thing I love about LeadsLeap is the autoresponder feature, I have 100% moved everything over from other marketing platforms and now 100% use LeadsLeap. As a member, I can have an unlimited number of people on my list, and the cost of membership never changes. This feature has allowed me to build a massive list and keep more money in my pocket, the deliverability is amazing and I don't even need any third-party tools to increase deliverability such as paying for over priced ip addresses and dedicated servers etc.

The landing page builder is another excellent feature that I like. It's easy to use, with drag and drop functionality and the freedom to place text and images anywhere I want. I can edit on the fly with the page editor in real-time, which saves me a lot of time but the thing I love is the share code system that allows me to support my team by sharing all my pages; it's genius.

The link tracker is also an excellent feature that allows me to track every source of traffic I use with pinpoint accuracy. It helps me know exactly which ads are producing results and which ones are not and it thus allows me to split-test my pages to see which page performs better and thus I can tweak my pages for optimal success.

I also appreciate the support offered by Ken the owner of LeadsLeap, Ken brings out updates all the time, listens to the needs of the members and is very willing to help and guide. I like reading his marketing emails that get sent out to the members as training, they help a lot.

What I dislike:

I've just spent the last 20 minutes setting here trying to figure out what to write here, nothing comes to mind lol.

Final Verdict:

I have been using LeadsLeap for over three years now, and it has helped me grow my online business in ways I never thought possible I moved over to LeadsLeap having used so many other platforms and not only did I struggle in using those other platforms but so did my team. Weather price, ease of use, the learning curve etc. LeadsLeap wins over all vs other platforms I've used. The autoresponder, landing page builder, link tracker, support, and affiliate ad network are excellent features that make it an all-in-one internet marketer's platform. The fact that there is a free option and a paid option also makes it accessible to everyone. I highly recommend LeadsLeap to anyone looking to grow their online business.

Frank Hudacek's review...
My experience with the program so far

I became an independent agent with David Allen Capital ('DAC') about 12 months ago. The company supports businesses by providing working capital (revenue based funding), business products and services, ERC (Employee Retention Tax Credit) assistance, insurance, payment processing, and more.

DAC serves the ‘Gig' worker, up to corporate owner. Funding advances range from $400 to $2 million. The entire business model is an online platform, with an application submitted by the business owner.

The company provides same-day-funding, and 1-3 day funding on larger amounts. There is no application fee and no obligation.

What I Like

What intrigued me were the simplicity and affordability of the business. My career was in banking so I was able to adapt quickly. I went online and became an agent.

There is no cost to enroll to be an independent agent. You work from home. There is no monthly cost to maintain agent status. This is absolutely a no-cost to own and operate business. You can operate as a single agent or build a growing agency. There are no territory limitations and we're in Canada.

My experience has been good, quick to learn the company basic dos and don'ts. The training is straight forward, with weekly Monday and Friday live video training calls.

Here's the clincher, the company does not make a dime before you make a dollar!

What I Dislike

Also, here's the reality of this business... If you don't work your business, if you don't seek prospects that convert to clients (users of products and services), if you don't produce sales, then you will not produce commissions for yourself (don't forget, you're an independent agent).

Final Verdict

When you do produce sales the commission payout is very good. Agents are paid the same or next day after a business funding closes. If you decide to build an agency and recruit other agents, there are commission increases on your personal production, the team production, and more.

Anyone can do this, but it takes a determined, organized person, willing to make calls, work this as a business, and then results can be very lucrative.

With the low cost (zero cost) of entry it's worth the time to Become an Agent, get inside the back office and kick the tires. Attend the training and hear from the owner and agents what it takes to succeed.

The company views Business Owners as Rock-Stars and has developed an extensive network of agents understanding, When the bank can't help, We Can!
