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.

Mark Hodgetts's review...
My experience with the program so far

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:

  1. The authenticity of traffic.
  2. The volume of traffic.
  3. The responsiveness of traffic.
  4. The profitability of the affiliate program.

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:

  • List Mailers
  • Traffic Exchanges
  • Viral advertising
  • Bitcoin earning sites
  • Rewards earning sites
  • Most profitable traffic earning sites

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.

List Building
Cris Wood's review...
I joined CLB Learning in August, 2023. Since then I have added over 100 quality subscribers (and counting) to my list and have gained many referrals in the programs I promote thru the CLB funnel system. And that has been with minimal use of the system on my part. Because of the results I have been seeing with the CLB Learning system, and all of the list building skills I have learned thru the owner and community, I am now focusing primarily on CLB to help build my list into the thousands thru 2024 and beyond.

Contact List Builder, or the CLB Learning system, is a free email list building program that was created by Janet Legere in 2003. It is marketed as a 3-step blueprint that teaches it's members the time-proven methods on how to set up funnels, best ways to get traffic to these funnels, build their list, and promote their programs at the same time.

This is a true self-funded list building and money making system!

The CLB Learning program uses Leads Leap as it's primary list building platform. The CLB funnel pages have share codes for capture pages, landing pages, and email series. Having a Leads Leap Pro account is highly recommended, however, the CLB Learning system works great with free Leads Leap accounts.

Janet is a very pro-active and hands on owner/admin. She does live weekly trainings where members learn how to effectively use the CLB Learning system, in-depth training on using Leads Leap, how to use mailers, and anything else that member's may ask for training on. For those who would like to share their areas of knowledge, or to work on their presentation skills, Janet even gives members the opportunity to step up and give some training during these lives.

Although CLB Learning has all the tools and resources needed to build a list at the free level, there is an option to upgrade to Lifetime Pro for a one time fee of $97. The Pro level comes with the following additional benefits:

1. A personally branded blog.

2. Lifetime upgrades at Janet's 4 mailers.

3. Members' affiliate link added to the CLB Rotator.

4. Personal consultation with coach Janet Legere.

There is nothing in the CLB Learning system that I am unhappy with or dislike. It is the best list building system I have been in for over 20 years online.

I would highly recommend CLB Learning system to anyone who is serious about building their email list, or wanting to improve their list building skills while building up their primary business at the same time. The price is unbeatable at free, and the very affordable lifetime upgrade offers much more than other similar programs I've seen that charge the same price on a monthly or annual basis.

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

I recently learned about this program however I did have a free account for a long time and never used it.

Boy have I been missing out!

I actually went PRO today and set up 10 ads and started getting leads immediately!

I had no idea how powerful this system is and using it to grow my online business.

What I Like

I like all the different features you can use. I have been able to upload high converting pages that I have a share code.

This has to be one of the most powerful systems I have seen in the 12+ years I have been online. I am paying way more for just my auto responder!

For $27 you get a funnel and page maker, an auto responder, a tracking tool, a rotator tool and advertising through being able to set up 10 days and by giving reviews of products/services you use.

Not only do they pay you for referring people through their affiliate program, they pay you to surf 10 ads everyday with their daily action bonus. They also pay you through promoting their COOP, PPC and credit encashment.

There is not other affiliate program in this industry that does this so again there so many features and tools with this system it is worth way more than $27 per month.

What I Dislike

So far NOTHING but if I had to pick something and would like to see they pay faster there is currently a 60 day hold on commissions.

Final Verdict

I think is an outstanding system that every online business owner needs for a price that can't be beat!

I am so impressed with this whole system and the longer I use the more value I see there truthfully is anything else out there like this in our industry. I wish I found this when I got online in 2011.

If I was just starting out I would use this and not invest the thousands of dollars I have put into having auto responders, funnel makers, tracking tools and advertising. This is the best resource I have to date in this industry the value for the price is outstanding.

Leads Leap is a platform that will help you get more leads and sales and give you exposure for your business.
