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.

Stephen Crossland's review...
My experience with the program so far

This site quickly became my number 1 recommendation. Why? Where else can you claim so many amazing promo codes at most of the very best mailers. In fact at the time of writing you can now claim 57 promo codes for solo ads, email credits, banner ads and text ads all for free.

Jason the owner, also has an amazing bargain upgrade option, where you can claim at all the sites, all over again for loots more free advertising.

What I Like

The thing here that is often overlooked, is that the free advertising gives your referrals a big incentive to join all the sites. And guess what? When they join they are joining through YOUR affiliate links and when they upgrade you get the commissions.

There is also an unmissable daily promo code to claim and a weekly promo code. I log in every day here and never miss claiming.

Recommending this site to my followers, saves them many hours clicking for ad credits, and helps them build their down lines in whatever programs they are promoting.

What I Dislike

It may sound like I am being greedy, but I would like to see even more sites taking part.

(Jason has promised to keep adding more sites in the future).

Final Verdict

This is my number 1 recommendation. I rate this a must for all online marketers.

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

Hey there, fellow business enthusiasts!

Today, I'm excited to share my experience with LeadsLeap, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for my online endeavors. One of the standout features for me is the Traffic Exchange. It's like a bustling marketplace for eyeballs on your content.

The best part? It's not just random traffic; it's targeted, which means real people are interested in what you have to offer.

It's a win-win!

What I Like

First off, let's talk about simplicity – LeadsLeap nails it. The user interface is super intuitive, making it a breeze to navigate even if you're not a tech whiz.

No need to spend hours figuring things out; you can jump right in and start boosting your leads. LeadsLeap is like having your own cheerleading squad. Authentic feedback from real users – positive vibes all around.

It's a trust-building goldmine that adds credibility to your brand. But what truly sets LeadsLeap apart is the community. It's not just a platform; it's a hub where marketers, entrepreneurs, and dream-chasers unite. It's like having a supportive business family cheering you on.

What I Dislike

You don't get your referral's contact information (privacy rights), therefore making an opt-in page for LeadsLeap is the smart thing to do to follow up with them.

Final Verdict

In a nutshell, LeadsLeap is not just a tool; it's a dynamic ecosystem that propels your business forward.

Whether you're a seasoned marketer or just starting, this platform has something for everyone.

So, buckle up and get ready for a boost in leads and a community that's got your back. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Sergiel Ettinger 's review...
Overview of Classifiedsubmissions.com:

Good day fellow internet marketers! I was introduced to Classifiedsubmissions.com about a week ago based on a recommendation from a trusted source. Classifiedsubmissions.com is a service, which for a very reasonable fee, will promote your classified ad and website each month to 1000's of advertising pages.

In addition your clickable text ad will be displayed in rotation at the top of every page on 26+ high traffic sites 24/7 providing quality exposure on 1000's of advertising pages each month.

What I Like

There are many things that I like about Classifiedsubmissions.com. For the exposure and amount of traffic they can potentially provide to your website or landing page, the value is tremendous for the amount they charge.

They have various packages available to fit a variety of budgets. One option is the monthly submission package which runs $39.95 per month (+ $10.00 set up fee for the first month). This package is a great way to test out the traffic before committing with a higher priced package. The next package option is the quarterly (3 month) package for $77.00. Finally there is the yearly package for a one time fee of $197.00, providing a savings of $282. This was the package I opted for as it provided the most bang for my buck.

Once your account is set up you are provided with a members area in which you can track where your ads have been placed as well as the hits / clicks you are receiving to your advertisement.

As of the time of writing this review it has only been four days since I signed up and paid the $197.00 fee and I have received 211 unique clicks, the vast majority of which have come from the US.

What I Dislike

If there is anything negative to be said about Classifiedsubmissions.com, the only thing I can really say is that the traffic is not completely targeted. Unlike say Facebook or Google ads, where you can target a certain interest group or demographic, the classified ad submissions are broadly placed. However, if you are promoting a topic with broad interest such as, income, health, or relationships you should have a good response rate in any event.

Final Verdict

If you are looking to grow your email list or increase the traffic to your website or landing page, in my view you cannot go wrong with Classifiedsubmissions.com.

Frank Hudacek's review...
My experience with the program so far

I joined the Home Business Academy Affiliate Program about 18 months ago and it has been one of the best choices I have had with any affiliate program. Being an online marketer for 15 years, after investing considerable amount of funds in various other programs, early-on, I find the HBA has just about everything an online beginner to the experienced marketer will need.

The co-founders and support staff are very helpful, responsive, knowledge-based and professional. They take the time to answer the questions or concerns the affiliates may have. Real people, faces and voices, there to answer questions.

What I Like

The commission structure is one of the best offered in this online space, and paid weekly. This residual income is paid month after month for as long as your signup remains a member. The HBA program has provided the right platform to steadily grow my online business.

What I like is there is not any real selling involved. With the HBA I can offer this affordable program even when someone might say 'No' to my original, other product or program offer.

The HBA platform can be used for online and offline businesses. You can build funnels, pages, merchant sites, community programs, and more, and market them across any market location.

What I Dislike

There's nothing I dislike about The Home Business Academy. Being experienced the start up was quick, the online help and videos are clear walk-you-thru, A-Z.

For the newbie the amount of information could be overwhelming at first, but the Monday thru Friday live online sessions, the Q&A, the over-the-shoulder instruction, should not leave anyone with a feeling of being 'lost'.

Final Verdict

The Home Business Academy is an excellent resource for entrepreneurs of all levels. It's affordable, reasonably priced, and stays current on what changes are happening in the market.

The HBA has 11 live events Monday thru Friday, available for replay. Many are over-the-shoulder training by the co-founders and other successful affiliates of the HBA.

Whether you're interested in starting up a home business from scratch or refining your existing small business model, the HBA can give you the resources and advice you need to succeed and grow

Furthermore, their generous monetary support of an international program to feed starving children is an important part of the heart-felt center of the company and affiliate community.

I would recommend this program to anyone looking with a desire to grow and take their business to basic or highly, experienced levels.

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!
