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.

Joe Marujo's review...
My experience with the program so far

Let's get one thing out of the way up front: A lot of marketers are advertising this as a way to "make $2000 without enrolling anyone. "

While that is a mathematical possibility, it's not going to happen. No one is going to make $2000 per month just by joining. I'm sure that's going to upset some folks, but we need to be real.

Having said that, if you do market this program, you will make money. No program ever created by Ben Glinsky did not make people money. This one will be no different.

The Powerline fear of loss model is very convincing and will convert lot's and lot's of people.

What nobody is talking about is that there are some very good products that are reasonably priced, especially for an MLM. Ben has a licensed pharmacist on staff that probably wouldn't risk his professional association if the products weren't legit.

I also like the fact from a marketers standpoint is that you can promote this without any additional tools, which makes it very newbie-friendly.

The email follow-up provided by the company is also very good, again, using the fear of loss as a very compelling motivator.

What I Like

You might not really understand what we have here with LiveGood...

That is, unless you see it like I do.

You see, I've been an on and off member, fan, and yes, victim of the MLM/network marketing business model for more than 3 decades.

This is not my first rodeo.

In all those years I, like many, have searched for "the unicorn. "

The company where the average person can actually win.

It never really existed.

Don't get me wrong, there are some really great companies occupying the MLM space.

The problem is, they're filled with roadblocks that keep the average person constantly chasing a dream that never comes true.

Roadblocks like:

Expensive starter packs, where you are encouraged to buy huge qualifying product purchases if "you really want to succeed... "

Overpriced products so they can pay commissions to the top, like hundred-dollar protein shakes that you can buy at Walmart for 22 bucks...

Monthly autoships that can cost hundreds of dollars just so you can stay active in the comp plan.

Monthly recruiting quotas that the average Joe (no relation) just can't keep up with.

You get the picture.

With LiveGood, they literally threw out the old, broken MLM model.

Instead, they took a page from the Amazon book. This is the Amazon Prime Business Model.

Charge a small monthly membership fee ($9.95) and sell quality products at below-wholesale prices.

You only buy products when you want to and when you need to. No quotas. No autoship.

Does it work? Ask the 100,000 people who joined in the last 90 days. Get on the Zoom calls and watch the countless people that never had success before and are finally winning.

So even if you've seen it before and you think you know, watch the video and take the free tour. This time, pay attention to what's really going on here.

What I Dislike

I find the company provided websites a little cheap-looking but since most of us create our own marketing, this shouldn't be a deal breaker for you.

Final Verdict

What we have here though, is a no-brainer.

For just $10 bucks a month you have a very marketable program and get to buy some very good products at very-wholesale prices.

Imagine if you had the opportunity several years ago to market "Amazon's new Prime Membership Program. "

Now imagine if you were getting paid $.25 per month for all the Prime memberships active today...

This might be the closest thing ever to the elusive unicorn.

I look forward to winning with you!

Philip Martindale's review...
Master Affiliate Profits (MAP) is a system that has been put together by John Thornhill and Omar and Melinda Martin. John Thornhill is the founder of the successful and popular Ambassador Program. Omar and Melinda are CMO and CEO of Higher Level Strategies, providing training, products and services for online marketers.

Their aim with MAP is to provide a complete ecosystem for affiliate marketers. The intention is to safe-guard leads (so they are not poached by the program vendors) and to include traffic, training and tools within the system. In addition, affiliates who sign-up will enjoy high commissions, even up to 100% during the current phase 2 that is open until the end of April.

My experience with the program so far

I joined about 3 weeks ago as a MAP Backer during phase 2. Though I consider myself very experienced with affiliate marketing, I have learned some absolute gems in the training. Implementing this new-found knowledge has helped me attract some high quality traffic to my one-link and build my list. I am confident that sales will follow soon as I can tell from the built-in tracking that I am getting a lot of interest from potential buyers.

By joining in phase 2, as a platinum member, I am showing my lifetime commitment to MAP. I can see how the system will remove many of the obstacles that have been holding affiliate marketers back. I am going to get 75% commissions on affiliates who join and upgrade to higher levels during phase 3, and I will also be entitled to level 2 commissions of 25%. As members will have to pay monthly (from phase 3 onwards), this will add up very nicely.

The lifetime cost of $797 (one-off) is good value for what you get, and just two sales will be all I need to earn more than that back,

Free members (joining in the imminent phase 3) will also be able to earn high commissions e.g. 100% on a product inside the system called traffic jump-start and 25% commissions on silver, gold or platinum level sales. Higher commissions are attainable by joining at the higher levels.

What I Like

I especially like the lead safe-guarding that MAP offers owing to the fact that it is an ecosystem. Its holistic qualities also mean that I have almost all the training and tools that I will ever need. The tools range from the ability to build funnels to creating bonuses and more. The training covers subjects such as list building, email marketing, traffic, video marketing, blogging, social media, and creating ads and banners.

I like the fact that the compensation plan is easy to understand and does not include gimmicks like powerlines and spillover and so on.

The fact that it will have a free membership option from phase 3 onwards, appeals to me, as it will be easier to sign prospects up who may then go on to upgrade.

I also like the way you can potentially earn commissions from external sources that the system integrates with or utilizes, such as WarriorPlus, JVZoo. Clickbank, Udimi, Aweber, Getresponse and so on.

The way that I can sort or filter my clicks by source, tracking ID and date, is a great feature as well as the way my leads and sales data are displayed.

What I Dislike

There is nothing I dislike. It has a few 'coming soon' items, but as long as they are indeed coming soon i.e. in phase 3, that's absolutely fine. The training and tools that are there are already very extensive.

Final Verdict

The system lives up to the claim that it is an ecosystem, with safe-guarding of your leads, built-in traffic, one link to promote, generous commissions, extensive training and tools and a thriving Facebook group.

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

Hello everyone and welcome to my review on The Click Generator. Lets get to it!

Frank Salinas and John Cornetta have done it again. Now I am not as familiar with John Cornetta as I am with Frank Salinas but as I know thus far Frank and John have been working together for 10 years+ but released this great product.

A little backstory on Frank he is well known in the affiliate world as an owner of 2 different safelist sites of which I am part of and I will tell you now, I love his websites and they do in fact bring me traffic. He also created 3 other products one of which I got and it worked brilliantly. If you would like to know more about his one product or his sites let me know and I will answer your questions if there is a way to contact others.

Now when I saw this product that was created by Frank and John I said in my mind "I HAVE TO GET IT". The reason for this is I have been working with Frank on some of his other stuff and I know that the things he releases have lots of value and work really well.

This system "The Click Generator" Is another great system that is made by Frank and John. The system is essentially another place where you can place a link and get traffic to that link for literally PENNIES a month. It costs 5 dollars monthly or 45 yearly and it gives you autopilot traffic to a rotator link that shows your offer. You can upgrade so that you can show a second rotator which shows a second offer or you can show the same one but I would strongly recommend if you are going to get that upgrade it would be best to just show a second offer or if you dont have a second you can show a different squeeze page for the offer.

You will have another offer though if you get The Click Generator because afterwards, you can get instant approval to The Click Generator for some good commissions.

The other thing that is offered in the system is Soload traffic that Frank and John offer and that traffic is spot on

That is not the only thing they provide. Inside the system they have a bunch of training and a few bonuses. 2 of the Bonuses is a voice recording of about an hour long to teach you 33 ways of getting more clicks to your offers (which the tips work swimmingly) and another bonus is 30 email swipes that are nice and work really well as well.

I will add here that DFY items make me a little leary because of the fact they don't usually work but Frank's DFY things always work and he is amazing at what he does. I have tested and tried everything they offer in this system and it works perfectly.

It is also good to note that if you do sign up to The Click Generator they will send you an email every day (John and Frank) that has a link down at the bottom that shows all the things that people are offering RIGHT NOW! When you click that (I think the link has a cap of 40 or 50 clicks a day on it) You will get your name entered onto a wheel they spin every day which has a chance to get you a drawing into a draw they host monthly which you could possibly win the monthly contest. Right now the drawing is a 250$ Soload. Well worth it already right?

I have added my own bonuses too to this offer that will be adding even more value to this great offer!

What I Like

  • I like how easy it is to set up the system. Set and forget and you can change the rotator link whenever you wish.
  • I love the value that Frank and John offer all over the system (I always like products that offer WAY MORE value than what it's retailed at.
  • I love the simplicity of the system and all the training inside.
  • I love the ability to possibly win solo ads or other drawings (They will let you know every month what the prize is going to be.
  • Overall I love the ins and outs of the system the clicks I get and much more. DO KEEP IN MIND... It is still relatively new so give it time to take off.

What I Dislike

Haven't found anything that I don't like yet. I love everything about it and it is working for me so I have no complaints.

Final Verdict

My final verdict on this system is to get it! I say that about a lot of things but if you want autopilot traffic and want MORE traffic to your offers then this is another weapon that you can add you your affiliate loadout.

The system is great for just 5 bucks a month and it offers amazing value. Frank yet again with the help of John Cornetta takes very good care of those who come to their traffic rotator for more traffic.

Buyer traffic is what you need in this industry and to get noticed you need EYEBALLS on your offers. This does not go without saying. If you want more money then you need more sales, to get all that you need more traffic.

Whether it's John and Franks's soload traffic that you can buy inside the system or just the rotator IT ALL brings in more people to your list! In turn that builds your list and makes you have more of a handle on the affiliate industry and makes you a step closer to financial freedom!

Don't forget I have added some bonuses to this offer! They come with the system when you setup a monthly sub which you can go to your purchase from Warriorplus and get it there.

Donald Lowery's review...
My experience with the program so far

This is a new program, and so far has been pretty good. They publish training videos, and host live zoom calls. There is an official Facebook group page as well as an internal social media account where you can mingle with other members. I really like that they take the time to check all reviews to ensure they are not put up in order to try and "game" the system.

What I Like

I like the fact that Local City Places is free to join for anyone. I also like the fact that you can earn income from those reviews, but you don't get paid for the reviews themselves, you get paid if the business decides to come on board as a featured business. You need to post honest reviews (good or bad), and they are all checked by a real person to ensure quality vs quantity. Think of it like Yelp or Google Reviews, but you can earn an income.

What I Dislike

The only thing I can say I dislike would be that it can take some time for a review to post, because they are all manually checked (not that this is a bad thing), so it can take a little bit of time for reviews to get posted.

Final Verdict

I would say that Local City Places is a great place to join and post honest reviews for businesses. If you post the first review, and a business decides to join as a featured business you will be paid for each and every month that business stays on board. Can you imagine having a few businesses deciding to come on board as a featured business and getting paid monthly based on that?

There is no sales, you don't have to convince anyone, or any business to come on board, all you have to do is post an honest review, good or bad, and they will take care of the rest. It's just like posting (or reading) reviews on Yelp or Google. I say why not. It really costs nothing but a few minutes, and it's free to join. It's a total win.

Sally Chasm's review...
My experience with the program

To be completely honest, it just keeps getting better and better.

I have been a member of Leads Leap for a couple years now and it is a tremendous tool that I am using for all the businesses I promote. As a beginner, I was unfamiliar with all Leads Leap had to offer. My first experience with them was using the auto-responder feature. After using a competitor's auto-responder, I found Leads Leap so much easier. It's easy to learn and more importantly, easy to implement.

When I say it gets better and better, I just mean that everything they offer is top notch quality, and each time I explore something new, I am just thrilled with what it offers. I continue to explore, implement, and reap the benefits of what LL has to offer.

What I Like the most about Leads Leap

The Tutorials Leads Leap offers for every feature is my favorite part of Leads Leap. It is the best I have ever seen. No matter what I am doing, I am always just a click away, on every page, to instantly get the help I need.

The Tutorials is also an excellent resource for my referrals in Leads Leap. It saves me time and allows me to help my referrals to get a great start immediately.

What I Dislike about Leads Leap

I just wish I had been more active when I first joined so I could have taken all the advantage that Leads Leap had to offer, sooner.

Final Verdict

Leads Leap is very user friendly, easy to understand, and provides all the tools you need if you are looking for an all-in-one marketing system that will explode your business... And, all at a price that everyone can afford. I love it!
