My experience with the program so farHello 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 DislikeUsually, 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 VerdictMy 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.

ListJumper is owned and managed by Darren Olander who is a well known, trusted and highly respected online program provider.
Darren owns and runs several unique and worthwhile traffic and lead systems that are focused on providing high quality effective results.
An extremely effective and uniquely developed traffic system that provides members with exceptional global results for their businesses and/or offers.
Certainly far from run-of-the-mill, which becomes instantly apparent the moment a person joins, logs in, and gains access to the back office.
Once inside the back-office, scrolling down the main menu listing reveals an array of features and benefits, some of which almost appear to interlink providing members with not only a powerful array of business promotional tools, but also a selection of in-house marketing solutions, which increase a users ability for securing results.
ListJumper is free to join and members can start utilising all the programs features straight away. Even by just logging in each day and reading one of the messages listed under "Member Inbox" you are gradually elevated to a higher position within the system. This in turn provides you with greater exposure for your own messages (emails) and premium ads that you submit within your back office.
When I first joined I started by using ListJumper as my very first daily activity, I read between 15-25 messages, and over the week this provided enough activity to gain effective results from the systems, as well as elevating my profile within the systems premium ad portion. Even now as an upgraded member I still read 15 to 25 messages a day. (It's just a good habit).
You can upgrade in 3 different levels. There is a Bronze, Silver, and Gold, all of which provide superb value for money as well as excellent additional exposure and results.
For instance. As a Gold member you will be able to send out 6000+ emails every 3 days. This is certainly geared up for high impact results...
Login page ads are also another great way to get everybodies attention to your promotions, as with any system that provides them they change a negative return to a positive very quickly.
There is also a monthly referral contest that not only gives members the opportunity to gain additional income, but also the system rewards for getting in the top 5 positions range from an extra 1000 credits up to 16000 credits. This is certainly NOT to be sniffed at.
In essence I have only really scratched the surface of ListJumper here and tried to point you towards what I believe are some of the most important factors within.
One other thing I would add is that the premium ad system within works exceptionally well and is well worth exploring deeper so as to optimise when placing your ads. (This is high-class exposure).
Finally:
Here's a Tip: If you join ListJumper be sure and check out the second promotional email (Listed under "Promotional Tools" on the menu). It contains a reward code that will get you 300 extra credits straight away.
The back office also provides a link to a site where you can gain further additional reward codes that you simply add to your ListJumper system, which in turn will provide you with even more free credits for your activities within.
My Thoughts:
Personally I've found using Listjumper as an extremely easy method with which to gain highly exceptional results. These are results that go above and beyond what you will be expecting. The unique way it has all been mapped together puts it as a must have system in my book.
