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.

Costas Alba's review...
My experience with the program so far

As a marketer and solopreneur, I found here my safe marketing harbor. I soon realized that every tool I had to use for my marketing projects was over here. Every day I wonder why I was so late to discover this marketing diamond as I wasted so much time with other platforms. With LeadsLeap I get laser-focused traffic for any niche.

What I Like

I was always pleasantly surprised by how robust yet user-friendly the interface is. Even as a newbie, I was easily able to navigate between the different tools and find step-by-step instructions for using each feature. So all those step-by-step tutorials allow you to become faster than ever a pro.

What I Dislike

When starting to use the platform, it was annoying to keep clicking on advertisements so that I get credits and traffic. Soon I realized that by paying attention to those advertisements I could explore so many new opportunities. Even now that I become a pro member I keep checking and clicking the other advertisements as I am sure that many of them have valuable offers.

Final Verdict

I think that this platform is my treasure island. It is heaven for anyone who wants to explore all the possible opportunities to make money online and start their own online business. It took me less than a week to realize that becoming a Pro member would have been the best money I ever invest in my life and on my self.

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.

Dominic Kristianto's review...
My experience with the program so far

There aren't many affiliate product which is straight to the point and cut the BS like Lazy Commissions. I can't tell how much value I get inside this product because it is too much already (which you are getting for FREE! ).

What beginners alike need is a working and proven system that really helps them to show their expertise and awesome value to the world and is paid handsomely for that. That is everyone's dream, right?

But unfortunately, there are so many scams and BSs out there (too many to count) that made confused people even more confused!

With Lazy Commissions, you get a system that works, and if you want, you can invest a small amount of budget to get your business started right away (less than $10! ). I am happy with what I learned in this course, and I believe this should help you build your online business fast without spending too much time and effort figuring things out yourself.

What I Like

The system just works! This is what I have been doing for 3 years now since 2019 and Lazy Commissions just made it simple enough to follow and digest, PLUS it has an awesome support system and community inside.

The creator, Tim Ikels, is a good friend of mine and I have known him back since I started learning about Affiliate Marketing in 2019. It goes without saying that I know how he thinks and his moral code standard.

Lazy Commissions was built upon the idea that we are sick and tired of seeing garbage products that just don't work and only make the vendor rich. If you love this idea, then Lazy Commissions is for you.

What's more, Lazy Commissions are always updated regularly and this proves that Tim is serious about making an evergreen product that everyone will find massive value in.

I have made back more than 10x of my initial investment and I show how I did it inside one of my bonuses for VIP Commissions upsell.

What I Dislike

When Lazy Commissions was still in its early stage, all of the materials were mostly text and no videos, but Tim is doing all he can to build this up alone and that is one hell of a dedication!

The latest updated version already includes videos and even an audio version as well. Quite a big progress for a free product!

I hate the fact that Lazy Commissions was not around when I started my affiliate journey back then. I guess I can only say: lucky you :)

Final Verdict

Either you are a beginner or you might already doing affiliate marketing with no result to show, this will help you for sure. You got nothing to lose since this is totally Free to access. The Upsells are there to help you shortcut the effort and time needed to actually implement what you learn inside the Free Course.

If you are a seasoned/veteran Affiliate and you would like to help others start an online business, this is very helpful since you can make Lazy Commissions as your own product (get 100% commissions through all funnels) and you will also get all the leads opted in under you.

Sounds great? Then you can start now and see for yourself if this is really valuable for you or not.

Bert Jensen's review...
My experience with the program so far

Embarking on the SendShark.com journey has been akin to discovering a secret weapon in the realm of email marketing. Initially drawn by the bold promise of handling a list of 50,000 subscribers for a mere $25.00 per month, I was curious yet skeptical. How could such an affordable service deliver where many others, often at a higher cost, had fallen short?

The experience, however, has been nothing short of revelatory. From the moment I started, the process of setting up campaigns to reaching out to a vast audience has been streamlined and efficacious, transforming my approach to digital communication.

What I Like

Unparalleled Subscriber Management: The ability to manage a colossal list of 50,000 subscribers without additional costs is a game-changer. This feature alone elevates SendShark from a mere service provider to a strategic partner in my marketing endeavors.

Integrated Page Builder: The integrated page builder is a masterstroke, blending ease of use with powerful design capabilities. It has empowered me to create landing pages that not only capture attention but also encapsulate the essence of my brand.

Deliverability and Insightful Analytics: SendShark excels in ensuring that my emails reach their intended inboxes, backed by analytics that offer deep insights into campaign performance. This has been instrumental in refining my strategies for better engagement.

Robust Security and Support: The commitment to security and privacy is evident, providing peace of mind in today's digital landscape. Moreover, the responsive and knowledgeable support team has made navigating any challenges a breeze.

What I Dislike

While my experience has largely been positive, no service is without its drawbacks. However, in the case of SendShark, these are far outweighed by the benefits. If pressed, I would desire even more customization options for the page builder to unleash full creative freedom, although what's available is already top-notch.

Final Verdict

SendShark.com stands as a titan in the email marketing field, shattering preconceived notions of what an affordable service can achieve. It's not just the cost or the features that make it stand out but the holistic approach to empowering users. Whether it's the expansive subscriber management, the ingenious page builder, the precision of deliverability, or the unwavering support and security, SendShark delivers on its promises and then some. For anyone looking to elevate their email marketing game, SendShark is not just a wise choice; it's an essential one. It's a testament to what's possible when a service truly understands and caters to the needs of digital marketers in the modern age.

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.
