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.

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

I joined Legendary Marketer when it launched in January 2017. This program has great training and you a take the 15 day challenge for a one time $7 and it is the only affiliate program I know of that does NOT have a monthly fee to stay active.

I had my first $3K day using this system. It converts extremely well with both cold and warm traffic. I have earned over $45K in commissions.

They have there introductory offer the 15 Day Challenge which is a one time $7, then their monthly offer which is the Legendary Marketer Club which is $30 a month and they offer more training including weekly ones. Throughout the funnel there is one upsell on the check out Super Affiliate Secrets which is $47, other upsells are the funnel Affiliate Marketing e-book also called the Insider Guide e-book which is $1.99, 15 Second Leads which is a $1.00, Copy Writer's Play Book which is $1.00 and some other offerings are their Omni Branding Formula, Attraction Code, Story Selling Formula, Secret Swipe File and on the back end is their Business Blue Print which is $2,500 along with coaching options and a master mind which you can book a call with one of their advisors to get more information.

What I Like

This is one of the highest converting things I have promoted and Dave Sharpe is a stand up guy! If there is a problem he addresses it which I love that about him.

What I Dislike

What I dislike is that you have to get a lot of people to buy the 15 day challenge to get one to upgrade to a higher level product to earn a $1K commission.

Final Verdict

I think this is a great product for anyone who wants to learn affiliate marketing and it won't break your bank account.

It has everything you need to get started and learn affiliate marketing in the 14 day challenge.

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.

Isabel Miranda's review...
I joined LeadsLeap in 2015 and I am really surprised for all the features of this site, it is easy to receive leads from their traffic, but most importantly is they provide free tools that are better than the paid ones in other sites, my favorite is the The Real Tracker.

One thing that I really like is that Kenneth, the owner, really cares about his members and very open to receive suggestions, two times he has implemented small recommendations that I provided!

My favorite part is that the site is constantly evolving with new features, it is exciting to know what is next!

My ROI is positive in LeadsLeap. That is the reason that I am a Pro Member.

Update- As of April 2024 I have 52 direct referrals in LeadsLeap plus 443 in my spillover

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

Secrets of the Big Dogs has been an information product in circulation since 2001 and it remains just as relevant and important today as when it was first released. The program has two main components -

  • an eBook which can be purchased for a one-time cost of $7. The book has been described as the most dangerous eBook on the internet and while I'm not given to hyperbole, I can see why it is described as such,
  • an ongoing "CHIP"(Coordinated High Income Portfolio program that costs $10 per month.

The entire concept and program is the brainchild of Stan Stuchinski who makes himself available to all members via phone or email.

I became aware of this program a decade ago, but rather foolishly wasn't prepared to part with whatever the cost of the eBook was at that time. I've come close to purchasing the book on several occasions and finally took the plunge a month ago.

I'm twenty-two years late to the party, but it feels like I've come home.

What I Like

First and foremost I like Stan's writing style. It is a style that I can relate to. The content is spot on and is delivered in a no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners kind of way that leaves you with no illusions of what is required to succeed online. I particularly like the section where Stan outlines the characteristics of "Alpha Dogs. " I found the way that was written to be inspiring.

The formula for success is simple but requires commitment and some patience (2 characteristics of "Alpha Dogs").

After reading this book, I honestly believe that the prospective marketer has two choices - EIther take the action suggested or shelve their dreams of internet success.

What I Dislike

I can't say that I agree with every choice Stan makes in his CHIP portfolio, but I do agree with the vast majority. I actually contacted Stan in regard to this and he was quick to assure me that the program I queried was under review and may not make the cut in the next edition. Either way, it wasn't a deal breaker, as I could simply choose not to be involved with that program.

Final Verdict

I believe that Secrets of the Big Dogs is a must-read for any prospective online marketer be they a novice or a seasoned professional. It pulls no punches, lays out an achievable plan of action and backs up that plan with outstanding responsive support.

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.
