Heather 's review...
I stumbled upon Wealthy Affiliate (WA) years ago and absolutely loved it!
I am a Lead generation coach who is always consistently updating my skills and along with my mentor, WA keeps that information fresh for me!
What's cool about Wealthy Affiliate is that it's not just about learning the ropes. It's like this virtual cheerleader that says, "Hey, just be yourself! " That confidence boost has made a real difference in building my own business.
Starting in WA, my very first week I had a referral!
Okay, so getting a referral in a week might not be the norm, but it shows how powerful Wealthy Affiliate is. It's not just about teaching you the online biz tricks; it's about helping you be confident and real in a digital world.
Wealthy Affiliate is more than just a training thing; it's like a bunch of buddies cheering you on. They get that being yourself is the key to success in the online game.
Since I joined Wealthy Affiliate, I've not only learned useful stuff but also started seeing actual results. It's not just about the numbers; it's about feeling confident and connecting with my audience in a genuine way.
If you're looking for a place that teaches you online business without making it all complicated, check out Wealthy Affiliate. It's not just a training program; it's like a journey where you discover yourself and start making things happen.

Linda Bomba's review...
My experience with the program so far
I recently joined the list auction because this is another tool my mentor has been using to generate leads and sales and he is the #1 recruiter in several programs and I know using these he is getting 100 leads a day!
The List Auction is a powerful list-building and traffic-generating system that helps you build an enormous list of double opt-in prospects that are looking for what you have to offer... And you can start for free.
Think how fast your list will grow and how many sales you can rake in - especially when the people who are reading your emails have a track record of being action takers.
What makes The List Auction unique is not only getting traffic to your offers but you can also earn not just money but credits, buy and sell on auctions, send emails and run text and image ads.
There are 3 membership types starting with a free account where you get downline ads, earn 20% commissions, can send 26K emails a year.
The second membership is a silver account where you get downline and featured ads, 30% commissions, can send 109,500K emails a year for $12 a month, $29 for a 3 months or $57 for a 6 month package,
The third membership is a gold account where you get downline, featured, top mail ads and special offers, 40% commissions, can send 365,000 emails a year for $22 a month, $47 for a month's or $87 for 6 month's.
What I Like
The fact I have the ability to send 365K emails out per year.
What I Dislike
Nothing so far but they commissions mostly via crypto currency or a payeer, fayad, wise accounts which a lot of people may not be familiar with these.
Final Verdict
If your looking for more exposure and your opening to learning how to do auctions on this site I would highly recommend it and you start for free so there really isn't any risk to try this out. Some people may not understand how doing auctions could benefit them and skip this over.

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
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.
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.

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.

Bert Jensen's review...
My experience with the program so far
Embarking on the SendShark.com journey has been akin to discovering a secret weapon in the realm of email marketing. Initially drawn by the bold promise of handling a list of 50,000 subscribers for a mere $25.00 per month, I was curious yet skeptical. How could such an affordable service deliver where many others, often at a higher cost, had fallen short?
The experience, however, has been nothing short of revelatory. From the moment I started, the process of setting up campaigns to reaching out to a vast audience has been streamlined and efficacious, transforming my approach to digital communication.
What I Like
Unparalleled Subscriber Management: The ability to manage a colossal list of 50,000 subscribers without additional costs is a game-changer. This feature alone elevates SendShark from a mere service provider to a strategic partner in my marketing endeavors.
Integrated Page Builder: The integrated page builder is a masterstroke, blending ease of use with powerful design capabilities. It has empowered me to create landing pages that not only capture attention but also encapsulate the essence of my brand.
Deliverability and Insightful Analytics: SendShark excels in ensuring that my emails reach their intended inboxes, backed by analytics that offer deep insights into campaign performance. This has been instrumental in refining my strategies for better engagement.
Robust Security and Support: The commitment to security and privacy is evident, providing peace of mind in today's digital landscape. Moreover, the responsive and knowledgeable support team has made navigating any challenges a breeze.
What I Dislike
While my experience has largely been positive, no service is without its drawbacks. However, in the case of SendShark, these are far outweighed by the benefits. If pressed, I would desire even more customization options for the page builder to unleash full creative freedom, although what's available is already top-notch.
Final Verdict
SendShark.com stands as a titan in the email marketing field, shattering preconceived notions of what an affordable service can achieve. It's not just the cost or the features that make it stand out but the holistic approach to empowering users. Whether it's the expansive subscriber management, the ingenious page builder, the precision of deliverability, or the unwavering support and security, SendShark delivers on its promises and then some. For anyone looking to elevate their email marketing game, SendShark is not just a wise choice; it's an essential one. It's a testament to what's possible when a service truly understands and caters to the needs of digital marketers in the modern age.

Joe Marujo's review...
My experience with the program so far
Just 2 weeks ago this program launched. I was in profit on the first day. I started using the backup right away on my pc and happy to say it's fully automated and instant.
The iphone and android app is reported to be ready in just a few weeks. My wife will be happy since she has hundreds of photos of our grand kids on hers.
What I Like
The product has universal appeal. Everyone can relate to having a phone not back up because they're out of cloud space, or having lost photos or contacts because of a damaged or lost phone. Most of us run our entire business from a pc or laptop. Who hasn't lost files or media from a crashed hard drive?
For less than ten bucks a month for 6 devices, the comp plan is just gravy on top. 200% fast start commissions and check matching (very powerful) this really is a no-brainer!
What I Dislike
There's not a lot to dislike. If I had to nit-pick, I've never been a big fan of binary pay plans. Fortunately in this case it's just one of the ways that we get paid.
Final Verdict
For less than 10 bucks per month, you really can't go wrong here. Even if there was no compensation attached, this service would be worth it.
It's needed by everyone and really can't be beat at this price point.

Traffic Hoopla has been around for as long as I can remember. It has evolved a lot over the years and has responded to the changing dynamics of the advertising industry as the traffic generation industry has evolved.
Starting out as a ranking service for traffic exchanges solely, Traffic Hoopla has never really pretended to be anything else other than a downline builder and a ranking service.
Over the years there has been much conjecture about the veracity of the rankings, but every week without fail, Hoopla's owner, Bill Carr has published his rankings. He doesn't shy away from the fact that he ranks each advertising service according to several key factors. These are and always have been:
He has copped criticism from time to time about seeming to favor certain exchanges and not rating some very popular ones. However. He has been consistent in ranking traffic services according to his criteria.
From its humble beginnings of ranking the top 10 exchanges, Hoopla has now become a viral traffic generator of its own accord with specific sites dedicated to slightly different sections of the market. Besides the flagship program, Hoople also has sites dedicated to:
Each program draws you further into the traffic web, with several traffic sources (including Leads Leap) being consistently recommended across all sites.
As a traffic builder, Hoopla has proven to be more durable than anything else on the market, it also has the added bonus of generating some affiliate commissions over time.
What I Like
Hoopla first and foremost has a trust element built into its brand. It keeps on keeping on. By and large, its rankings (with the occasional surprise) are pretty close to my own perceptions. It is consistent, clear, and never wavers from its core purpose of building traffic. If you use this and recommend it to others, it will help you to build traffic over time.
What I Dislike
Some of Bill's emails are a little folksy for me, but that's really nitpicking. I'd like to see a little more how-to guides for beginners in the member's area as it can be a little confusing. Sometimes. , I fear that Bill's desire to keep things simple may be a little overzealous. But it seems to work for him - so who am I to judge?
Final Verdict
The Hoopla family should be part of your marketing arsenal. Preferably recommended on the back end of your marketing efforts. It is proven to work, helps build traffic, and has been around for almost as long as Traffic Exchanges. If you haven't joined, I think that you should.
