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.

Carl Davies's review...
Hey there! Today, I'm excited to share my experience with OptimizePress, the ultimate tool for creating captivating and conversion-focused websites. Buckle up as I take you through my journey with this powerful tool.

My experience with OptimizePress so far.

As someone who's constantly tinkering with websites to find that perfect blend of design and functionality, OptimizePress has been my trusty sidekick in the ever-evolving digital landscape. From crafting stunning landing pages to building comprehensive sales funnels, it's been a game-changer in elevating my online presence.

What I like about OptimizePress?

First and foremost, its drag-and-drop interface deserves a standing ovation.

Moreover, the seamless integration with popular email marketing services and payment gateways is a godsend for entrepreneurs looking to streamline their online business operations. With OptimizePress, you can effortlessly capture leads, nurture relationships, and drive sales without juggling multiple tools.

What I dislike about OptimizePress?

Hey, no tool is perfect, right? While OptimizePress has been a dream to work with, there are a few niggles that I've encountered along the way. For starters, the learning curve might be slightly steep for those diving into the world of website building for the first time. While the tool offers ample resources and tutorials, a bit more hand-holding for beginners wouldn't hurt.

Additionally, while the templates are amazing, some more variety in niche-specific designs would be a welcome addition. As someone catering to diverse audiences, having a wider array of templates tailored to specific industries would save time and effort in customization.

My final verdict.

Drumroll, please! OptimizePress is a powerhouse in the realm of website building and marketing optimization. Its user-friendly interface, robust features, and seamless integrations make it a must-have tool for anyone serious about making waves in the digital sphere. While it's not without its minor quirks, the pros far outweigh the cons. So, if you're ready to take your online presence to new heights, look no further than OptimizePress. Trust me, your website will thank you later!

Happy optimizing!

Linda Bomba's review...
My experience with the program so far

Lead Hero is premium red hot buyer traffic and is own by Glenn Fedoruk. If his name sounds familiar it is because he is either the #2 vendor on Udimi and I have used both.

While I got a decent opt in rate with the solo ads, I ran from him on Udimi he himself has said this traffic is better because it is buyer traffic, and it does cost more. I always say you get what you pay for and my experience with lead hero was better.

One of the big differences is how slow the traffic I got from his solo ads as I would wait sometime 2-3 days before it would start and Lead Hero it was much faster.

A got an email with a link where I could see all my analytics and track them and on Udimi I just got an email that he accepted my purchase and I have to go to my account to look and see if it has started and how many clicks, I got on it.

For the solo ad I ran with him on Udimi I got 43 leads for 100 clicks plus 6 bonus clicks and for lead hero for the same amount of clicks and xxx bonus clicks I got xxx leads.

The difference is price is $53 for 100 clicks on Udimi and $79 for the same number of clicks on lead hero slightly higher but I think it's definitely worth it.

The ordering is slightly different on Lead Hero than it is on Udimi, they have the following packages you can buy. These packages are at a 25% discount.

Premium Buyer Clicks- 2800 clicks per week for $1,950, 400 clicks per day paid weekly at 0.69 per click.

Premium Buyer Clicks – 1400 clicks per week for $975, 200 clicks per day paid weekly at 0.69 per click.

Premium Buyer Clicks – 700 clicks per week for $485, 100 clicks per day paid weekly at 0.69 per click.

Premium Buyer Clicks – 350 clicks per week for $243 paid weekly at 0.69 per click

These are monthly subscriptions that you can cancel at any time but once the traffic starts there no refunds.

If you skeptical you can try their test package for Premium Buyer 100 clicks for $79 at 0.79 per click

What I like

I didn't have to wait long for my traffic to start which I love some vendors take days before you actually see any leads and they send you a link where you can track your progress with clicks and leads.

What I don't like

The cheapest package to start is $125 which may be difficult for some people on a small budget.

Final Verdict

Lead Hero is a premium traffic source used my some of the top marketers in this industry so it has a proven track record. If your looking for a affordable traffic source you will want to check this out!

Chris Stepanescu's review...
More than 8 years ago, I started my adventure in internet marketing. I started doing investigations and research on how I could make money.

I joined many specialized sites, I took many courses, and for all this, I learned very little. I spent a lot of money and wasted my time. However, we have created free sites (WordPress and Blogger) and promoted many affiliate products. But, the result was zero. How do some succeed, and I fail? I was still a beginner. However, I did not lose confidence. But...

I finally found the solution. That was five years ago when I discovered Super Sales Machine. Here I learned all the secrets, and from a novice beginner, I reached the advanced stage.

I am now able to teach anyone who wants to.

What are the advantages of SuperSalesMachine?

Anyone who joins will have to create their membership account and will be able to obtain:

- Video courses for beginners - starting with creating a site and everything related to it to show a professional site (loading platforms, posting articles, images, videos, protection and proper functioning of the site, plugins, software, and more).

- Personal development and specialization courses in IM (internet marketing), obtaining traffic and subscribers. (Text and video).

- Advanced courses - all of the above but at a higher level. (Text and video).

- For members, offers free (2 each month) sites and emails ready created with affiliate products.

- It offers free specialized video courses in all IM fields for members.

- Provides for anyone who wants ready-made sites and emails with the orderer's name, including his PayPal payment button. All this loaded with dozens or hundreds of valuable products on the orderer's website, including follow-up emails, are uploaded to the autoresponder in his Aweber account. (For members, the costs are reduced by 40% - 60%). They are all created, so you don't have to do anything.

- Create the product store for each member.

- For members, offers by email a lot of valuable information and tips for free.

- Offers affiliate programs for all products, including tips for promotion and traffic.

What do I like?

The courses cover everything in IM, but you can only follow those that interest you because they solve many content and technical problems.

For all of the above, prices are the lowest in the industry. Anyone can create their own successful online business site in any niche or field.

What I Dislike

All sites for each member have the same content, so the competition is high to sell a product. Although, you can turn to them, and they will help you with some tactics.

Final Verdict

I continue to be a member of this site because I receive emails with new sources, information, and valuable advice. Also, I receive new offers from them, and thus I increase my product base with all the technical installation problems. My store now has hundreds of products to sell and make money.

Heather 's review...
I stumbled upon Wealthy Affiliate (WA) years ago and absolutely loved it!

I am a Lead generation coach who is always consistently updating my skills and along with my mentor, WA keeps that information fresh for me!

What's cool about Wealthy Affiliate is that it's not just about learning the ropes. It's like this virtual cheerleader that says, "Hey, just be yourself! " That confidence boost has made a real difference in building my own business.

Starting in WA, my very first week I had a referral!

Okay, so getting a referral in a week might not be the norm, but it shows how powerful Wealthy Affiliate is. It's not just about teaching you the online biz tricks; it's about helping you be confident and real in a digital world.

Wealthy Affiliate is more than just a training thing; it's like a bunch of buddies cheering you on. They get that being yourself is the key to success in the online game.

Since I joined Wealthy Affiliate, I've not only learned useful stuff but also started seeing actual results. It's not just about the numbers; it's about feeling confident and connecting with my audience in a genuine way.

If you're looking for a place that teaches you online business without making it all complicated, check out Wealthy Affiliate. It's not just a training program; it's like a journey where you discover yourself and start making things happen.
