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.

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...
Hello everyone! Today, I'm excited to share my experiences with the OLSP system, which I've been exploring alongside my other marketing tools and promotions.

The OLSP system has been an intriguing journey for me. When you initially sign up, the process is free, but there's an upgrade option available for just $7 at the top of your dashboard. This minor investment significantly amplifies your promotional capabilities. You can share your upgraded link across various platforms, including Facebook, safelists, and other traffic sources. Diversifying your traffic sources, unlike Facebook and TikTok as recommended by Wayne Crowe, is advisable beyond the usual Facebook and TikTok traffic.

After upgrading, you'll encounter an optional offer (OTO) for a Facebook tool. I opted in, and it has proved quite effective. This tool automates some tasks but still requires active engagement to truly amplify your reach, whether you're a novice or a seasoned marketer. However, this is not needed at the start honestly.

Influence plays a pivotal role in affiliate marketing, and increasing your visibility through platforms like Safelists, Facebook, or soloads is vital. The OTO aids in expanding your Facebook presence and directing targeted individuals into your funnel. However, for newcomers, I suggest not rushing into link-sharing. Instead, focus on offering value and forging genuine connections.

For example, when I interact with someone new to this field, I inquire about their use of essential tools like squeeze pages and autoresponders, crucial for capturing leads and maintaining contact. My approach is to educate them on the significance of these tools, drawing on insights from seasoned marketers like James Neville Taylor.

This educational engagement is the type of value I offer when connecting with new Facebook followers. Once they trust and value your advice, they're more likely to explore the OLSP system you recommend.

While I've successfully signed up users with OLSP, I'm still awaiting my first sale from those users. Nonetheless, once someone joins through your link, Wayne Crowe's team steps in to handle the sales process, making it relatively hands-off for you.

Now the magic link is even better which you can also sign up for, for an additional 7 dollars which is even better...

You get paid per sign-up... AND THEN get paid again and again when you send emails to that list and even more when you make a sale with the email list... These emails are emails you are sending out but every time your list clicks you make money every time they buy you make money. From this, I have received lots of commissions now

For just $7, (14$ if you get the magic link as well) OLSP is definitely worth considering. You can add it to your marketing rotator or promote it directly to your existing list. It works seamlessly in the background, potentially generating passive income. I've gathered leads who receive daily communications from Wayne's team, including invites to live sessions designed to convert them fully.

I would also like to add that the 7 dollars to promote a whole big huge sales funnel of things that can potentially net you over 200 dollars just to promote that one link and potentially have people buy is really good seems how other products will tell you. "Oh to be able to promote my high-end back-end products you need to pay an additional... " Yea, you get what I am saying... I've made my investment back now... Easily...

Here's what I appreciate about the OLSP system:

Its simplicity makes it straightforward to promote.

The done-for-you sales process is a significant advantage.

The training is thorough and supportive, providing substantial guidance.

The concept of earning passive income through the system is attractive.

Regular live training sessions and an active Facebook group offer additional support.

THE MAGIC LINK! INNOVATIVE PIECE OF TECH

On the downside:

I have made commissions now so my previous statement in my previous cons list is taken away now. I have been making commissions from the magic link almost effortlessly.

Final Verdict:

I believe the OLSP system is worth a try, especially at such a low entry cost. While I await my first sale, I'm optimistic about its potential to generate passive income. I plan to increase my focus on OLSP soon alongside my other promotions.

If you're curious about it, I recommend giving it a try. The support is excellent, and it's an affordable way to potentially enhance your online marketing endeavours. I hope this review has been helpful. Best of luck in your marketing journey!

Scott Dubois's review...
My experience with the program so far

Hello and welcome to my review on Affiliate One. In this review, I am going to delve into the Affiliate One system and talk about the various things they offer. Now I will mention if you are an extra information hog and like lots of information then this is perfect for you. Why I say that is because the advice and ideas you get inside the system are extremely useful especially if you are looking for some new ways of marketing or even just finding out other traffic sources... Well you get the picture Affiliate One offers that.

I really think that as marketers we should always learn things the further into the business we go. Ditch the things that don't work and keep the things that do. Maybe something won't work for you but if it doesn't at least you can put it on the back burner for now and keep it in mind for a time when you find something that the specific strategy will work or whatever.

I am an information hog so I love to gather information and though I may not use it right now most of the information I have gotten over the past year and a half has always in some way shape or form given me an AHA moment and if it didn't then it does later on.

Now, Affiliate One. In this system, they provide you with the normal average details. (Now again you may know how to make a landing page or use an autoresponder but the way they do things may give you more ideas. ) What I mean by average I mean we should all know how to create a squeeze page (If you do not and you haven't created one I have to ask... What Are You Doing! ? Go make that squeeze page because THE MONEY IS IN THE LIST! )They also teach you the normal basics like creating the Thank you page and so on. They give autoresponder training and so on.

They also teach you within the system another way to do follow-up emails and so on. This is the perfect low-cost course if you want to learn extra details on things like that because maybe you just want more ideas for creating follow-ups or more ideas for creating landing pages.

I like any information that I can add to my business so that I can get the best experience possible and that's why I say it's almost best to be an information hog.

They go in-depth on things like creating a rotator, and even how to CLEAN YOUR LIST! I will say right now... To anyone who doesn't clean their list, you are doing it wrong... I say this because to improve open rates, click rates and much more YOU MUST BE CLEANING YOUR LIST UP! . It is like washing your dirty laundry on Laundry Day... If you aren't doing this you will NOT see open rates of 60-70% you will see 10-20% which is horrible. So you must be cleaning the list!

Good details inside this gem so far. Then they go into traffic. Now they explain one source of traffic that I do like and from a website that I like that is called Udimi... If you do not use Udimi you can get the perfect information inside of Affiliate One on how to use Udimi with ease and how to find perfect vendors for your traffic. Trust me it is a breeze once you figure it out. I find the best vendors now on Udimi because of the learning inside of Affiliate One and I got this info from them last year.

They do delve into other traffic sources as well.

They offer 5 great bonuses that include some extra training like how to make 10k in 30 days, (Which for some people can be the case but you need to understand that the results are not typical which means it cannot be guaranteed... No one can guarantee that and you are kidding yourself if you think it can be promised or you are looking for that magic pill that makes you that much every day. So some people will have that result but not everyone can have that result either way it's a free bonus. It is always good to have extra case studies too. ) They offer a bonus funnel, they offer something called the QuickFire Commission Method, and they offer follow-up email swipes and guaranteed approval to promote affiliate one should you choose.

They also have support and various other things.

I did learn quite a bit myself from this and at the very most think that extra information even if you think you know everything about the above things I mentioned you should still acquire information as it is always good because maybe you'll find a hidden nugget inside that can be added to what you are already doing. For me, it was promotions and learning other traffic sources.

What I Like

  • I like the bite-sized training they offer. Many great pieces of information that can be used to give you more understanding of this online terrain.
  • Great support
  • Great email swipes
  • Great Ideas and various things that you need to look out for in the business.

What I Dislike

Now one thing I did dislike was the fact that when I went to set up the bonus funnel they asked you to get ClickFunnels. I am sorry in advance to the people who stand behind ClickFunnels but for the price you are paying for ClickFunnels, I don't think it is worth it... I think maybe Russel Brunson is onto something with click funnels but it is not my cup of tea and honestly I have WAY cheaper alternatives that I use that don't require 90 dollars a month...

That is really my only dislike as the training was all very well put together but unless you already have clickfunnels or have been thinking about getting it then the bonus super funnel will be good for you however in order to use the super bonus funnel you need ClickFunnels.

So that gets rid of one of your bonuses if you don't want to get ClickFunnels which is unfortunate but other than that the training was good.

Final Verdict

My final verdict? Well, I think it is well worth the price to get some extra information and who knows maybe some hidden techniques inside the system will give you an even greater knowledge about how to make it in this online business world. It gave me lots of information when starting out.

It wasn't the main course I took that got me started in AM but it was definitely extra information while building my business that I needed to hear as I was still putting certain things together and just looking for more information on where I could go to get traffic and whatnot.

This course can be a great starting point for many beginners too. For 16 dollars you get to learn the business and get a round-about idea of how it is done.

I think it is worth it and I think the pros outweigh the cons. Thanks for reading and I hope it gave you some information on this system and I hope that if you decide to get it, it will be as helpful to you as it was to me! Have an awesome day!

ListJumper: A Highly Active Free To Join Viral Traffic and List Building System That Is Used By Some Of The Biggest Marketing Names Online

ListJumper is owned and managed by Darren Olander who is a well known, trusted and highly respected online program provider.

Darren owns and runs several unique and worthwhile traffic and lead systems that are focused on providing high quality effective results.

An extremely effective and uniquely developed traffic system that provides members with exceptional global results for their businesses and/or offers.

Certainly far from run-of-the-mill, which becomes instantly apparent the moment a person joins, logs in, and gains access to the back office.

Once inside the back-office, scrolling down the main menu listing reveals an array of features and benefits, some of which almost appear to interlink providing members with not only a powerful array of business promotional tools, but also a selection of in-house marketing solutions, which increase a users ability for securing results.

ListJumper is free to join and members can start utilising all the programs features straight away. Even by just logging in each day and reading one of the messages listed under "Member Inbox" you are gradually elevated to a higher position within the system. This in turn provides you with greater exposure for your own messages (emails) and premium ads that you submit within your back office.

When I first joined I started by using ListJumper as my very first daily activity, I read between 15-25 messages, and over the week this provided enough activity to gain effective results from the systems, as well as elevating my profile within the systems premium ad portion. Even now as an upgraded member I still read 15 to 25 messages a day. (It's just a good habit).

You can upgrade in 3 different levels. There is a Bronze, Silver, and Gold, all of which provide superb value for money as well as excellent additional exposure and results.

For instance. As a Gold member you will be able to send out 6000+ emails every 3 days. This is certainly geared up for high impact results...

Login page ads are also another great way to get everybodies attention to your promotions, as with any system that provides them they change a negative return to a positive very quickly.

There is also a monthly referral contest that not only gives members the opportunity to gain additional income, but also the system rewards for getting in the top 5 positions range from an extra 1000 credits up to 16000 credits. This is certainly NOT to be sniffed at.

In essence I have only really scratched the surface of ListJumper here and tried to point you towards what I believe are some of the most important factors within.

One other thing I would add is that the premium ad system within works exceptionally well and is well worth exploring deeper so as to optimise when placing your ads. (This is high-class exposure).

Finally:

Here's a Tip: If you join ListJumper be sure and check out the second promotional email (Listed under "Promotional Tools" on the menu). It contains a reward code that will get you 300 extra credits straight away.

The back office also provides a link to a site where you can gain further additional reward codes that you simply add to your ListJumper system, which in turn will provide you with even more free credits for your activities within.

My Thoughts:

Personally I've found using Listjumper as an extremely easy method with which to gain highly exceptional results. These are results that go above and beyond what you will be expecting. The unique way it has all been mapped together puts it as a must have system in my book.

Traffic Exchange
Judy Meeks's review...
I can not imagine why anyone would not want to join this program if they are serious about getting traffic to a website with traffic exchanges and viral mailers. I find that it is one of the easiest ways to get loads of credits and it is free.

It is also a great way to get referrals to many different traffic exchanges and viral builders. It is so easy to do to. All you do is log in, click on the 3 bars in the upper right corner and click on either traffic exchange promo codes or viral list builder promo codes.

Then you start going down the list clicking on the not a member link if you are not a member of that particular program or enter your affiliate id if you are already a member.

After you join the program you can click on the view promo code link to find the promo codes. Copy the promo code and paste it to the redeem promo code area of the program. This may be under advertising, set up advertising, redeem promo code, or another link depending on the program.

Traffic Codex will tell you how many promo codes are available, the average user rating and how many members there are in that program, but I would not go by the number of members because that is not always accurate.

I find that the time spent copying and pasting each promo code is well worth it compared to clicking my fingers off every day. This saves me a lot of time and gets me a lot of traffic to my website.

Overall I would say this program is definitely worth it.
