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.

Traffic
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

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.

Shopping
Carsten Mueller's review...
My journey with the MyWorld shopping community has been nothing short of fantastic, and I'm eager to share my experience with those who might be considering joining. From the moment I signed up, I was introduced to a world of savings and rewards that genuinely changed how I shop, making every purchase more rewarding.

My Experience with the Program So Far

Since joining MyWorld, my shopping habits have transformed significantly. The platform offers an extensive range of products and services, allowing me to earn cashback and shopping points on almost everything I buy. Whether it's groceries, electronics, or fashion, MyWorld partners with a wide array of merchants, making it incredibly convenient to save on everyday purchases. The seamless integration of their mobile app has made the process of finding deals and tracking my savings effortless, enhancing my shopping experience greatly.

What I Like

There are several aspects of MyWorld that I absolutely love. Firstly, the diversity of participating merchants is impressive. Being able to earn rewards across so many different categories of shopping is a huge plus. Secondly, the cashback and shopping points system is straightforward and genuinely beneficial. It feels rewarding to see the savings accumulate and to use the points for further discounts. Additionally, the customer service has been outstanding. Any queries or issues I've had were addressed promptly and satisfactorily, adding to the overall positive experience.

What I Dislike

Honestly, there's not much to dislike about MyWorld. If I had to nitpick, I would say that navigating the vast number of deals and merchants can sometimes feel overwhelming. However, this is a minor issue compared to the overall benefits, and the platform does provide tools to help filter and find the best deals suited to my preferences.

Final Verdict

In conclusion, MyWorld has exceeded my expectations in almost every way. It's a comprehensive shopping community that not only offers great savings but also enhances the shopping experience through its well-designed app and excellent customer service.

Esther Odejimi's review...
My experience with the program so far:

I purchased this software recently to help me discover and write Amazon Kindle books that will sell well on the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing website. I have been publishing on Amazon but not selling my books, which is why I bought this software called "Publisher Rocket. "

What I Like

I like the fact that I can discover hot-selling books in minutes and change the category of my existing books to gain maximum exposure and sales. Not only that, the software made me understand that some books on Amazon are listed under the ghost categories. If your book is categorised and listed under ghost categories, that means your books are hidden from potential buyers, and you will not get sales. In addition, Publisher Rocket will let you see the keywords your competitors are using that make them sell very well on Amazon. Publisher Rocket will also help you find the relevant keywords to use for your book and great headlines that will catch the attention of the target audience. Furthermore, with Publisher Rocket, you will be able to see at a glance whether a particular book and its category are going up or down and what you can do to stop the book from going down. This software is purchased for life, and you will get all future upgrades for free. The software, though targeted to Amazon authors, will also help with publishing on other platforms like Google and others.

What I Dislike

For now, I can't see anything that I dislike about the software. It is helping to not just write, but use it to research to ensure that the books will sell very well on Amazon before I put pen to paper.

Final Verdict

I highly recommend Publisher Rocket to both new authors and established authors. It will help individuals with a flair for writing discover the best books to write, the keywords to target, and the hidden secrets of other authors that make their books sell well on Amazon. It is good software as it will also help you on other publishing platforms like Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Google, and others.

List Building
Cris Wood's review...
I joined CLB Learning in August, 2023. Since then I have added over 100 quality subscribers (and counting) to my list and have gained many referrals in the programs I promote thru the CLB funnel system. And that has been with minimal use of the system on my part. Because of the results I have been seeing with the CLB Learning system, and all of the list building skills I have learned thru the owner and community, I am now focusing primarily on CLB to help build my list into the thousands thru 2024 and beyond.

Contact List Builder, or the CLB Learning system, is a free email list building program that was created by Janet Legere in 2003. It is marketed as a 3-step blueprint that teaches it's members the time-proven methods on how to set up funnels, best ways to get traffic to these funnels, build their list, and promote their programs at the same time.

This is a true self-funded list building and money making system!

The CLB Learning program uses Leads Leap as it's primary list building platform. The CLB funnel pages have share codes for capture pages, landing pages, and email series. Having a Leads Leap Pro account is highly recommended, however, the CLB Learning system works great with free Leads Leap accounts.

Janet is a very pro-active and hands on owner/admin. She does live weekly trainings where members learn how to effectively use the CLB Learning system, in-depth training on using Leads Leap, how to use mailers, and anything else that member's may ask for training on. For those who would like to share their areas of knowledge, or to work on their presentation skills, Janet even gives members the opportunity to step up and give some training during these lives.

Although CLB Learning has all the tools and resources needed to build a list at the free level, there is an option to upgrade to Lifetime Pro for a one time fee of $97. The Pro level comes with the following additional benefits:

1. A personally branded blog.

2. Lifetime upgrades at Janet's 4 mailers.

3. Members' affiliate link added to the CLB Rotator.

4. Personal consultation with coach Janet Legere.

There is nothing in the CLB Learning system that I am unhappy with or dislike. It is the best list building system I have been in for over 20 years online.

I would highly recommend CLB Learning system to anyone who is serious about building their email list, or wanting to improve their list building skills while building up their primary business at the same time. The price is unbeatable at free, and the very affordable lifetime upgrade offers much more than other similar programs I've seen that charge the same price on a monthly or annual basis.
