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.

Joy Healey's review...
Update March 2024

Just been reviewing my reviews at LeadsLeap :-)

Some I have deleted as they didn't stand the test of time, but The Downliner is still firmly on my favourites list. Sending me traffic (especially from the Social Posts). Just this morning I had a renewal commission from a long term customer, so he is presumably as impressed as I am.

My experience with the program so far


I first joined this program three years ago, then left it while I had a break from online business, but I always remembered it fondly.

So when I came back online and was reminded of it, I was pleased to restart my paid membership, and, within my first month, someone who found a site I'm advertising on The Downliner joined my business. That's more than covered the cost of my first month's membership.

Within my own contacts I have recruited two TDL team members who have been equally impressed with the site, Both have upgraded too, and stayed long term members. My commission was registered promptly (can be withdrawn when it reaches $20), although I tend to use it to buy further advertising. I found several 'free' members too, but it's not uncommon that T/E members stay free.

What I Like

  • There are 3 levels of membership, one is free and the other two are extremely good value.
  • Free members can earn from their referrals
  • There's a low ($20) threshold to withdraw your commissions by PayPal or Payza
  • You're only 'charged for' unique views, other views are classed as Free Views.
  • There's a lot to get my head round, but within the site dashboard another member has provided an extremely helpful explanatory video
  • Support is excellent, I even had prompt answers over the weekend
  • Paid members TDL can join the 'TDL Machine' which gives access to All In One Profits, a complete suite of business tools with plans starting at just $10 a month and paying an amazing $10 a month commission (even more for the higher plan levels). The TDL Machine will find you 6 paying members to get your AIOP business off to a flying start. I didn't join this as I already have an auto-responder, but for anyone with no a/r this would be a great benefit.
  • The TDL detailed stats show where my link is being seen and how long visitors stay on my site
  • You can earn 'shop points' to use in your own promotions, by promoting a co-op link
  • Otherwise you can buy 'shop points' at an extremely low cost, or by upgrading
  • You can 'win' points with a daily wheel spin, and I win regularly - maybe 75% of the time.
  • You can also earn points by clicking on solo-ads that come to my in-box, clearly labelled.
  • Traffic is coming from a vast array of sources including PTCs, Safelists, Traffic Exchanges, Classified Ads, CPC traffic and well as social media I received thousands of clicks in just a few days for 5 minutes 'work' placing my social media post link on the TDL ads section.
  • Most important of all, my links are being rotated on more traffic exchanges than I've even heard of. There's no way I could cover afford the time or money to promote on all those sites personally.

What I Dislike

I wish there was a way that I could target specific countries, but nothing else.

Final Verdict

Advertising on the Downliner is saving me a ton of time and money while building my list, and - most important of all - I know it's genuine traffic because I have already had an email exchange with a lead who took a paid upgrade.

Highly recommended.

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!

Herbert Flores's review...
My experience with AutoShorts.ai so far has been incredibly impressive, with its seamless automation and customization features making content creation a breeze. It's truly a game-changer in the digital marketing landscape.

AutoShorts.ai is a groundbreaking platform that leverages advanced algorithms to create unique and customized faceless videos, tailored to your specific topic. The beauty of this service lies in its simplicity and automation. Once you've set your preferences and input your topic, AutoShorts.ai takes over, creating engaging videos that are ready to be shared with your audience.

The primary feature of AutoShorts.ai is its ability to create faceless videos. This means that the videos generated do not require a presenter or spokesperson. This is a game-changer for businesses that may not have the resources or desire to feature individuals in their videos. It allows for a focus on the content, rather than the presenter, ensuring your message is front and center.

The customization options offered by AutoShorts.ai are impressive. The platform allows you to tailor your videos to your specific needs, ensuring that each video is unique and aligns with your brand's voice and aesthetic. This level of customization is invaluable in creating a cohesive and recognizable brand image.

Perhaps the most significant advantage of AutoShorts.ai is its ability to operate on auto-pilot. Once your preferences are set, AutoShorts.ai automatically creates, schedules, and posts your videos, freeing up valuable time that can be spent on other aspects of your business. This level of automation is a boon for any business looking to optimize their content strategy.

What I Like

What I like about AutoShorts.ai is how easy it is to use and how quickly I can create a short video in just minutes! It's a time-saving solution that allows me to focus on other aspects of my business while still producing engaging and customized content for my audience.

What I Dislike

While AutoShorts.ai offers a user-friendly experience and the ability to create short videos quickly, there are a few aspects that I find less favorable. One limitation is that the free version only allows for the creation of one series and posting it once, with a watermark included. However, I discovered a workaround by cropping the video to remove the watermark.

On the bright side, AutoShorts.ai offers affordable subscription options that provide more flexibility and features. The starter package, priced at only $19, allows for posting three times a week, creating one series, auto-posting to channels, editing and previewing videos, adding background music, and downloading videos without any watermark. This subscription package offers great value for those looking to enhance their content strategy without breaking the bank.

Final Verdict

AutoShorts.ai is a game-changer in the world of video content creation. Its user-friendly interface, customization options, and automation features make it an invaluable tool for businesses and individuals looking to optimize their content strategy. While the free version has limitations, the affordable subscription packages provide access to a wide range of features and benefits. Embrace AutoShorts.ai and streamline your video content creation effortlessly.

Piergiorgio Sansone's review...
Wealthy Affiliate is the most comprehensive, progressive, and extensive global affiliate marketing platform/community. I think it is the best and fastest way to start your blogging or eCommerce experience.

The aim of this PlatPlatformthe is the succPlatformis members; everything is focused on it.

Nothing has left the chance, and you know what are the details that determine the success of a product or service. There is everything you need to start an online business from scratch.

If you want the business to grow steadily, growth occurs when it evolves as an entrepreneur, acquiring and applying new knowledge, methods, and strategies in business.

For this reason, it's essential to follow an excellent educational program and always be current.

In other words, as an entrepreneur, you cannot afford to stop studying because the surrounding environment is continually evolving, and businesses must adapt to this environment to grow.

The Wealthy Affiliate is the perfect platform to continue your online business if you are a beginner or even an expert marketer. As you will see, this platform offers you sPlatformic knowledge and can help you grow your business from the experience of its community members, who are over 1.4 million people.

What I Like

I will list the most of them:

  • the incredible support for any issue
  • the fastest Google position and site authority
  • the incredible Service Management
  • the experiences of thousands of web entrepreneurs can help you and inspire
  • High-quality Foundation training and the Advanced for 100's topics are also fantastic.

What I Dislike

Inside the platform, there are ways to make money supporting people and becoming ambassadors, publishing valuable content in your blog, or as a training or tutorial.

The System tracks your daily activity and builds rank to evaluate your impact on the community. That's cool, but sometimes you can lose the focus on your core business following the rank and your positioning.

I suggest giving it the right weight and producing valuable content when it is possible for you, and don't be a slave of the ranking.

Final Verdict

Suppose you want to sell your service or products in any niche. In that case, if you desire or don't know what is selling, I invite you to follow your intuition and join the WA anyway; other users will inspire you, talk with them, and follow their excellent training.

You don't have anything to lose. It's FREE to JOIN.

As with many other products or platforms, I have included it among the products within my multiple income streams ecosystem strategy, where I teach how to exploit its features and integrate them into your online business, and I will be happy to share it with you.

KASH EMPIRE's review...
I've been a member of The Downliner for about a month now and I would have to say that I am highly impressed. I've been involved with a few other traffic coops however The Downliner is a complete game changer.

So far I like to use the text ads, and with that I have consistently gotten over 50% click thru rate with over 5000-9000 views in a 24 hour time frame. Which has also resulted in a few sign-ups to my main businesses! Very impressive!

Ok, so what exactly is The Downliner other than AMAZING?

The Downliner is a traffic exchange coop that ultimately generates traffic to your websites. It is one of the latest breakthroughs in coop advertising and serves as an efficient and effective way of promoting while generating passive income for all members. It allows anyone to just add their website link with stats then receive traffic from many different sources including PTCs, Safelists, Traffic Exchanges, Classified Ads, CPC traffic as well as social media.

You can register as a free or paid member and can start using the platform immediately. You use points to purchase traffic/views to your websites and can earn points by either purchasing them, or promoting your own coop link.

When promoting your coop link you earn 1:1 which is 1 point per unique view.

As free member, you can earn 10% monthly recurring commissions per referral and if you are a paid member you can earn 30% monthly recurring commissions, when your referral upgrades. Free members can advertise 3 websites and paid members can advertise 10 websites in the campaign.

What makes this what makes this system utterly unique is that you can advertise your sites using banners, text ads (my favorite), and because we can post our sites too in Social Media. The social posts are shown on Twitter, Facebook Groups, LinkedIn, Google Plus, and Pinterest without even having an account with them!

The Downliner have an anti-cheat system that prevents users from other traffic exchanges for using auto-surf bots to gain credits and a timer set with a recurring period valid for 5 minutes wherein views from the same surfers within that time period are not counted. These ensures that your coop views are not wasted and deductions to it are coming from unique views only from traffic exchanges.

The Downliner is attractively advertising us and The TE Coop. It displays our Gravatar photo, it shows how many points we just earned by displaying the site and it persuades the viewer to sign-up to the coop and promotes his/her ad on thousands of sites daily, just like what we are doing here.

This is incredibly compelling, to earn 30% recurring commission from our referrals, and I assure you that everyone who tries The Downliner advertising would not cancel their subscription any time soon. Actually, there's no need to advertise our referral link; we only need to rotate our own co-op link!

Most members who joined find the best way to start is by adding a banner to the system then adding their own social links. Once this is done you should add the sites you wish to promote. Once approved your site will be in rotation on the network.

You have the option always to upgrade your account and we only offer 1 paid option (except for the One-Time offer). Free members receive 10% commission and Paid members receive 30%. The cost to upgrade is $9.99 per calendar month which works out as costing much less than you would pay for a monthly membership at any leading Traffic Exchange or Safelist. The price includes 6,800 shop points equivalent to 5,400 Cooperative Views or two 30 day banner or text ads and is given each month you remain active.

Start promoting your websites now in The Downliner. I assure, you'll get a compelling TE advertising and a consistent monthly recurring income.

I give this platform a solid 5 Stars
