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.

Scott Dubois's review...
Welcome, everyone, to my review of Big Monster Traffic by Dawud Islam. If you've read my previous reviews on Dawud's products, you'll know I'm a big fan of the value and deliverability they offer.

Once again, Dawud has delivered a product focused on boosting your website traffic. From my experience with his other products, I've consistently seen great results.

Running a business requires cost-effective strategies that also add significant value, and Dawud's products consistently tick both boxes.

Big Monster Traffic is no exception. It cuts through the noise of other traffic systems that promise the world but often fall short. This system is straightforward to set up and gets you going quickly—all you need to do is purchase the system and submit your links.

Don't forget to include your receipts to confirm your purchase—it's a simple step to get started. Additionally, I recommend checking out the upgrades, which can further enhance your traffic flow.

Using a rotator to promote your links is a smart move, especially for platforms like safelists. Rotators, as I've learned, are particularly effective with systems like The Click Engine and The Click Generator, as well as Dawud's own rotator products.

Once inside the system, you'll find yourself on the main page after creating your login. The setup process involves watching some instructional videos. Before submitting your links, Dawud provides a website to test them, ensuring they work seamlessly.

Personally, I tested my LeadsLeap rotator link, and it's been driving steady traffic to my site non-stop.

Submitting your details is quick, and Dawud is prompt in confirming everything. Once your link goes live, you'll start seeing results.

Beyond the traffic benefits, the members' area contains additional training and bonuses, including Dawud's flagship email marketing course—an added value that's worth exploring.

What I Like:

  • The simplicity of setup, purchase, load, and go.
  • How quickly everything can be up and running.
  • The added value through bonuses and training.
  • The one-time fee, plus any upgrade costs, which I believe is a steal considering the ongoing traffic.
  • Traffic comes in consistently, especially if you're using a rotator with multiple products like I do.

This system is perfect for catching the attention of potential buyers, especially if you're new to the online industry.

Final Verdict:

I highly recommend this system. It's an affordable source of buyer traffic that's hard to beat. Combined with other strategies like The Click Engine, The Click Generator, and safelists, this can significantly boost your online presence.

Remember, building your list takes time. But with patience and the right approach (the KTL factor—Know, Trust, Like), you'll see conversions.

For the current price, this is a no-brainer for anyone serious about driving quality traffic to their offers.

In business, cost-effectiveness is crucial, and Dawud's product offers just that—quality traffic without breaking the bank.

While soloads might offer quicker results, for those on a budget, having multiple traffic sources like this is better than none at all.

I hope this review has been insightful and helpful. Good luck with your ventures, and stay tuned for more reviews from me!

Carl Davies's review...
Hey there! Today, I'm excited to share my experience with OptimizePress, the ultimate tool for creating captivating and conversion-focused websites. Buckle up as I take you through my journey with this powerful tool.

My experience with OptimizePress so far.

As someone who's constantly tinkering with websites to find that perfect blend of design and functionality, OptimizePress has been my trusty sidekick in the ever-evolving digital landscape. From crafting stunning landing pages to building comprehensive sales funnels, it's been a game-changer in elevating my online presence.

What I like about OptimizePress?

First and foremost, its drag-and-drop interface deserves a standing ovation. Whether you're a seasoned web designer or a newbie navigating the digital waters, crafting visually stunning pages is a breeze with OptimizePress. Plus, the extensive library of templates and elements provides endless possibilities for unleashing your creativity without breaking a sweat.

Moreover, the seamless integration with popular email marketing services and payment gateways is a godsend for entrepreneurs looking to streamline their online business operations. With OptimizePress, you can effortlessly capture leads, nurture relationships, and drive sales without juggling multiple tools.

What I dislike about OptimizePress?

Hey, no tool is perfect, right? While OptimizePress has been a dream to work with, there are a few niggles that I've encountered along the way. For starters, the learning curve might be slightly steep for those diving into the world of website building for the first time. While the tool offers ample resources and tutorials, a bit more hand-holding for beginners wouldn't hurt.

Additionally, while the templates are amazing, some more variety in niche-specific designs would be a welcome addition. As someone catering to diverse audiences, having a wider array of templates tailored to specific industries would save time and effort in customization.

My final verdict.

Drumroll, please! OptimizePress is a powerhouse in the realm of website building and marketing optimization. Its user-friendly interface, robust features, and seamless integrations make it a must-have tool for anyone serious about making waves in the digital sphere. While it's not without its minor quirks, the pros far outweigh the cons. So, if you're ready to take your online presence to new heights, look no further than OptimizePress. Trust me, your website will thank you later!

Happy optimizing!

KASH EMPIRE's review...
I've been a member of The Downliner for about a month now and I would have to say that I am highly impressed. I've been involved with a few other traffic coops however The Downliner is a complete game changer.

So far I like to use the text ads, and with that I have consistently gotten over 50% click thru rate with over 5000-9000 views in a 24 hour time frame. Which has also resulted in a few sign-ups to my main businesses! Very impressive!

Ok, so what exactly is The Downliner other than AMAZING?

The Downliner is a traffic exchange coop that ultimately generates traffic to your websites. It is one of the latest breakthroughs in coop advertising and serves as an efficient and effective way of promoting while generating passive income for all members. It allows anyone to just add their website link with stats then receive traffic from many different sources including PTCs, Safelists, Traffic Exchanges, Classified Ads, CPC traffic as well as social media.

You can register as a free or paid member and can start using the platform immediately. You use points to purchase traffic/views to your websites and can earn points by either purchasing them, or promoting your own coop link.

When promoting your coop link you earn 1:1 which is 1 point per unique view.

As free member, you can earn 10% monthly recurring commissions per referral and if you are a paid member you can earn 30% monthly recurring commissions, when your referral upgrades. Free members can advertise 3 websites and paid members can advertise 10 websites in the campaign.

What makes this what makes this system utterly unique is that you can advertise your sites using banners, text ads (my favorite), and because we can post our sites too in Social Media. The social posts are shown on Twitter, Facebook Groups, LinkedIn, Google Plus, and Pinterest without even having an account with them!

The Downliner have an anti-cheat system that prevents users from other traffic exchanges for using auto-surf bots to gain credits and a timer set with a recurring period valid for 5 minutes wherein views from the same surfers within that time period are not counted. These ensures that your coop views are not wasted and deductions to it are coming from unique views only from traffic exchanges.

The Downliner is attractively advertising us and The TE Coop. It displays our Gravatar photo, it shows how many points we just earned by displaying the site and it persuades the viewer to sign-up to the coop and promotes his/her ad on thousands of sites daily, just like what we are doing here.

This is incredibly compelling, to earn 30% recurring commission from our referrals, and I assure you that everyone who tries The Downliner advertising would not cancel their subscription any time soon. Actually, there's no need to advertise our referral link; we only need to rotate our own co-op link!

Most members who joined find the best way to start is by adding a banner to the system then adding their own social links. Once this is done you should add the sites you wish to promote. Once approved your site will be in rotation on the network.

You have the option always to upgrade your account and we only offer 1 paid option (except for the One-Time offer). Free members receive 10% commission and Paid members receive 30%. The cost to upgrade is $9.99 per calendar month which works out as costing much less than you would pay for a monthly membership at any leading Traffic Exchange or Safelist. The price includes 6,800 shop points equivalent to 5,400 Cooperative Views or two 30 day banner or text ads and is given each month you remain active.

Start promoting your websites now in The Downliner. I assure, you'll get a compelling TE advertising and a consistent monthly recurring income.

I give this platform a solid 5 Stars

Sergiel Ettinger 's review...
Overview of Classifiedsubmissions.com:

Good day fellow internet marketers! I was introduced to Classifiedsubmissions.com about a week ago based on a recommendation from a trusted source. Classifiedsubmissions.com is a service, which for a very reasonable fee, will promote your classified ad and website each month to 1000's of advertising pages.

In addition your clickable text ad will be displayed in rotation at the top of every page on 26+ high traffic sites 24/7 providing quality exposure on 1000's of advertising pages each month.

What I Like

There are many things that I like about Classifiedsubmissions.com. For the exposure and amount of traffic they can potentially provide to your website or landing page, the value is tremendous for the amount they charge.

They have various packages available to fit a variety of budgets. One option is the monthly submission package which runs $39.95 per month (+ $10.00 set up fee for the first month). This package is a great way to test out the traffic before committing with a higher priced package. The next package option is the quarterly (3 month) package for $77.00. Finally there is the yearly package for a one time fee of $197.00, providing a savings of $282. This was the package I opted for as it provided the most bang for my buck.

Once your account is set up you are provided with a members area in which you can track where your ads have been placed as well as the hits / clicks you are receiving to your advertisement.

As of the time of writing this review it has only been four days since I signed up and paid the $197.00 fee and I have received 211 unique clicks, the vast majority of which have come from the US.

What I Dislike

If there is anything negative to be said about Classifiedsubmissions.com, the only thing I can really say is that the traffic is not completely targeted. Unlike say Facebook or Google ads, where you can target a certain interest group or demographic, the classified ad submissions are broadly placed. However, if you are promoting a topic with broad interest such as, income, health, or relationships you should have a good response rate in any event.

Final Verdict

If you are looking to grow your email list or increase the traffic to your website or landing page, in my view you cannot go wrong with Classifiedsubmissions.com.
