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.

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.

Downline Builder
Judy Meeks's review...
I have only been a member for a few days now and I have already started receiving payments. I have been promoting other programs as well but nothing compares to Automatic Builder.

What I Like

What I like about Automatic Builder is that you can use several different payment methods including Zelle. Zelle is my favorite payment processor because it allows you to get paid directly to your bank account without having to give out your bank information.

There is also a way to accept credit cards that has nothing to do with skrill and ppal. You can still use these two if you want but it is nice that they have an alternative. They also accept CashApp and Gpay.

Tip: When signing up you have to click on Agree to Terms of Use in order for the payment buttons to become live.

Anyone can start earning right away depending on how much advertising you do. As I said before, I have not done a lot of advertising and I still got payments within a few days. Those who really go at it can earn as soon as today.

Automatic Builder isn't just about instant payments. There is a downline builder, a way to make residual commissions(commissions you get every month) and you can add your own favorite websites.

What I Dislike

One thing I don't like about Automatic Builder is that it has one problematic safelist in its downline builder. That is Global Safelist. Do not expect to get paid from Global Safelist, but you can get good traffic from it.

There are a few add-ons that cost monthly, but you do not need them in order to make money with this system. They do have some nice perks, but again, they are not necessary.

My Final Thoughts

My final thoughts are that this is a really great program, especially if you need money in a hurry. It can build you a nice residual income while receiving instant payments which is one of the reasons it has become my favorite program for making money online.

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.

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.
