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.

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.

Donald Lowery's review...
My experience with the program so far

This is a new program, and so far has been pretty good. They publish training videos, and host live zoom calls. There is an official Facebook group page as well as an internal social media account where you can mingle with other members. I really like that they take the time to check all reviews to ensure they are not put up in order to try and "game" the system.

What I Like

I like the fact that Local City Places is free to join for anyone. I also like the fact that you can earn income from those reviews, but you don't get paid for the reviews themselves, you get paid if the business decides to come on board as a featured business. You need to post honest reviews (good or bad), and they are all checked by a real person to ensure quality vs quantity. Think of it like Yelp or Google Reviews, but you can earn an income.

What I Dislike

The only thing I can say I dislike would be that it can take some time for a review to post, because they are all manually checked (not that this is a bad thing), so it can take a little bit of time for reviews to get posted.

Final Verdict

I would say that Local City Places is a great place to join and post honest reviews for businesses. If you post the first review, and a business decides to join as a featured business you will be paid for each and every month that business stays on board. Can you imagine having a few businesses deciding to come on board as a featured business and getting paid monthly based on that?

There is no sales, you don't have to convince anyone, or any business to come on board, all you have to do is post an honest review, good or bad, and they will take care of the rest. It's just like posting (or reading) reviews on Yelp or Google. I say why not. It really costs nothing but a few minutes, and it's free to join. It's a total win.

Garry Frizzell's review...
This is my software review of the Keyword Researcher Pro software put out by the company clevergizmos.com marketing software based in California I believe.

I'll start off with what I don't like about this seo software.

Because it has so many features built into it, I find it to be a bit on the clunky side, meaning that you'll have to invest some time into learning how to use it.

This really isn't a negative thing, it just has a learning curve if you want to maximize it's potential. It comes with video lessons and an instruction manual, so you'll need to invest a few hours into learning how it works.

What I like the most about this keyword discover tool is the ability to create and deploy keyword-optimized content quickly.

It's built in module to write keyword-optimized information articles is a god send to me because everything is all in one place ready to use.

Having a content strategy for search engine optimization is a must and having a piece of software that speeds up and maximizes your time is going to be a perfect addition to your marketing toolkit.

Putting Keyword Researcher Pro software to work to discover high-value long-tail keywords from Google autocomplete, organize CSV files from the Google Keyword Planner, and write seo-optimized articles for your website just makes financial sense.

I love software and I'm investing it it all the time because at the end of the day it makes me money and saves me valuable time.

Put this software to work in your online business and reap the benefits.

Scott Dubois's review...
My experience with the program so far

Hello and welcome to my review on Affiliate One. In this review, I am going to delve into the Affiliate One system and talk about the various things they offer. Now I will mention if you are an extra information hog and like lots of information then this is perfect for you. Why I say that is because the advice and ideas you get inside the system are extremely useful especially if you are looking for some new ways of marketing or even just finding out other traffic sources... Well you get the picture Affiliate One offers that.

I really think that as marketers we should always learn things the further into the business we go. Ditch the things that don't work and keep the things that do. Maybe something won't work for you but if it doesn't at least you can put it on the back burner for now and keep it in mind for a time when you find something that the specific strategy will work or whatever.

I am an information hog so I love to gather information and though I may not use it right now most of the information I have gotten over the past year and a half has always in some way shape or form given me an AHA moment and if it didn't then it does later on.

Now, Affiliate One. In this system, they provide you with the normal average details. (Now again you may know how to make a landing page or use an autoresponder but the way they do things may give you more ideas. ) What I mean by average I mean we should all know how to create a squeeze page (If you do not and you haven't created one I have to ask... What Are You Doing! ? Go make that squeeze page because THE MONEY IS IN THE LIST! )They also teach you the normal basics like creating the Thank you page and so on. They give autoresponder training and so on.

They also teach you within the system another way to do follow-up emails and so on. This is the perfect low-cost course if you want to learn extra details on things like that because maybe you just want more ideas for creating follow-ups or more ideas for creating landing pages.

I like any information that I can add to my business so that I can get the best experience possible and that's why I say it's almost best to be an information hog.

They go in-depth on things like creating a rotator, and even how to CLEAN YOUR LIST! I will say right now... To anyone who doesn't clean their list, you are doing it wrong... I say this because to improve open rates, click rates and much more YOU MUST BE CLEANING YOUR LIST UP! . It is like washing your dirty laundry on Laundry Day... If you aren't doing this you will NOT see open rates of 60-70% you will see 10-20% which is horrible. So you must be cleaning the list!

Good details inside this gem so far. Then they go into traffic. Now they explain one source of traffic that I do like and from a website that I like that is called Udimi... If you do not use Udimi you can get the perfect information inside of Affiliate One on how to use Udimi with ease and how to find perfect vendors for your traffic. Trust me it is a breeze once you figure it out. I find the best vendors now on Udimi because of the learning inside of Affiliate One and I got this info from them last year.

They do delve into other traffic sources as well.

They offer 5 great bonuses that include some extra training like how to make 10k in 30 days, (Which for some people can be the case but you need to understand that the results are not typical which means it cannot be guaranteed... No one can guarantee that and you are kidding yourself if you think it can be promised or you are looking for that magic pill that makes you that much every day. So some people will have that result but not everyone can have that result either way it's a free bonus. It is always good to have extra case studies too. ) They offer a bonus funnel, they offer something called the QuickFire Commission Method, and they offer follow-up email swipes and guaranteed approval to promote affiliate one should you choose.

They also have support and various other things.

I did learn quite a bit myself from this and at the very most think that extra information even if you think you know everything about the above things I mentioned you should still acquire information as it is always good because maybe you'll find a hidden nugget inside that can be added to what you are already doing. For me, it was promotions and learning other traffic sources.

What I Like

  • I like the bite-sized training they offer. Many great pieces of information that can be used to give you more understanding of this online terrain.
  • Great support
  • Great email swipes
  • Great Ideas and various things that you need to look out for in the business.

What I Dislike

Now one thing I did dislike was the fact that when I went to set up the bonus funnel they asked you to get ClickFunnels. I am sorry in advance to the people who stand behind ClickFunnels but for the price you are paying for ClickFunnels, I don't think it is worth it... I think maybe Russel Brunson is onto something with click funnels but it is not my cup of tea and honestly I have WAY cheaper alternatives that I use that don't require 90 dollars a month...

That is really my only dislike as the training was all very well put together but unless you already have clickfunnels or have been thinking about getting it then the bonus super funnel will be good for you however in order to use the super bonus funnel you need ClickFunnels.

So that gets rid of one of your bonuses if you don't want to get ClickFunnels which is unfortunate but other than that the training was good.

Final Verdict

My final verdict? Well, I think it is well worth the price to get some extra information and who knows maybe some hidden techniques inside the system will give you an even greater knowledge about how to make it in this online business world. It gave me lots of information when starting out.

It wasn't the main course I took that got me started in AM but it was definitely extra information while building my business that I needed to hear as I was still putting certain things together and just looking for more information on where I could go to get traffic and whatnot.

This course can be a great starting point for many beginners too. For 16 dollars you get to learn the business and get a round-about idea of how it is done.

I think it is worth it and I think the pros outweigh the cons. Thanks for reading and I hope it gave you some information on this system and I hope that if you decide to get it, it will be as helpful to you as it was to me! Have an awesome day!

Char 's review...
My Experience with the Program So Far

When I started with the OLSP System a few weeks back, I was unsure at first. I'd tried other online opportunities before and often ended up disappointed. But this time, things were different. As I got into the training, I saw real results, which surprised me in a good way.

Why I Recommend This Program

The great thing about the OLSP System is that once you're in, all you have to do is share your special link, and the system does the rest. You earn commission every day as people join through your link. Plus, even if they buy later after getting follow-up emails from OLSP, you still earn!

What's Working for Me

I've been putting what I've learned into action, and it's paying off. I've got more people on my email list now, and I'm earning regular commissions without much effort, thanks to the Mega Link.

What I Like

  • The training is super helpful, even for things I thought I knew.
  • The system guides you through step by step, so you feel more confident as you go.
  • There are options for guaranteed income, which have worked for me.
  • The community in the Facebook group is really supportive and motivating.
  • Everything in the system works together smoothly to help me make sales.

What I Dislike


Honestly, there's not much to complain about. But if I had to pick something:

  • Sometimes there's too much information, and it can be hard to find your way around the site. But they're working on fixing this.
  • It can feel overwhelming at first with all the training, but taking it slow pays off in the end.

Final Thoughts


I highly recommend the OLSP System if you want to make money online. The Mega Link feature is awesome, and the system has gone beyond my expectations. It's definitely the future of affiliate marketing.
