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.

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.

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

Get instant targeted traffic to any offer. You have full control of your campaign as you can stop and start it anytime you wish.

I ran one campaign and got 175 leads!

In fact, I started getting clicks from the moment I published my ad. It was super easy!

I am currently running a second campaign and so far, I have gotten 262 leads.

What I Like

Easy to set up a campaign you choose niche, make money online, weight loss or health.

They recently added categories for English tier one countries and one for international tier countries.

It also allows you to pick traffic providers or leave it blank for all. Also, you pick countries or leave blank for all as well as devices, operating system, and traffic tags such as email, engaged, mixed, funnel, excess clicks, Facebook ads or webinar registrations. If you want all tags, you just leave it blank.

It allows you to set the maximum clicks, total & daily budget and for unlimited you can just leave them all blank.

What I Dislike

Really nothing but it might be helpful to have more tutorial videos. There is only one which appears on their main web page, and I don't see any videos inside the affiliate account.

Final Verdict

This site was recommended to me and so I decided to give it a try. I will let this campaign run for 10 days look at my results and then run another one. Will update my results here as I go along but so far it delivered leads quickly.

I set up and ran 1 campaign, spent $300 and got 175 leads not sure if I got a sale or not but I am promoting a high-ticket offer. I am pleased with the results, so I am running another campaign and testing with different offers. This is my go to number #1 traffic source that gets me leads fast.

Till Geissinger's review...
My experience with the program so far

LiveGood is a really solid Network-Marketing-Affiliate-Program with great products (high-quality nutritional supplements), weekly Live-Webinars and a top Management -Team with lots of experience in the field of marketing and product distribution.

The products are highest quality and really affordable compared to competitor products, and the website and marketing materials perform really well.

What I Like

Getting started was easy and smooth for me, my emails - whenever I needed help - were answered straight away, and payments - at least up till now - came always through as promised.

What I Dislike

The company used to promise thousands of dollars of passive income only by joining and hoping for Spillover from your Upline. Meaning that you would reach passive income without ever lifting a finger.

That - of course - can happen, but I think you have to be very lucky and you should not count on it.

Final Verdict

Good, rock-solide opportunity with really small start-up costs, high-quality and in-demand products that will be here for a long time and can generate you a really solide residual income, if you are willing to do something for it.

Piergiorgio Sansone's review...
Wealthy Affiliate is the most comprehensive, progressive, and extensive global affiliate marketing platform/community. I think it is the best and fastest way to start your blogging or eCommerce experience.

The aim of this PlatPlatformthe is the succPlatformis members; everything is focused on it.

Nothing has left the chance, and you know what are the details that determine the success of a product or service. There is everything you need to start an online business from scratch.

If you want the business to grow steadily, growth occurs when it evolves as an entrepreneur, acquiring and applying new knowledge, methods, and strategies in business.

For this reason, it's essential to follow an excellent educational program and always be current.

In other words, as an entrepreneur, you cannot afford to stop studying because the surrounding environment is continually evolving, and businesses must adapt to this environment to grow.

The Wealthy Affiliate is the perfect platform to continue your online business if you are a beginner or even an expert marketer. As you will see, this platform offers you sPlatformic knowledge and can help you grow your business from the experience of its community members, who are over 1.4 million people.

What I Like

I will list the most of them:

  • the incredible support for any issue
  • the fastest Google position and site authority
  • the incredible Service Management
  • the experiences of thousands of web entrepreneurs can help you and inspire
  • High-quality Foundation training and the Advanced for 100's topics are also fantastic.

What I Dislike

Inside the platform, there are ways to make money supporting people and becoming ambassadors, publishing valuable content in your blog, or as a training or tutorial.

The System tracks your daily activity and builds rank to evaluate your impact on the community. That's cool, but sometimes you can lose the focus on your core business following the rank and your positioning.

I suggest giving it the right weight and producing valuable content when it is possible for you, and don't be a slave of the ranking.

Final Verdict

Suppose you want to sell your service or products in any niche. In that case, if you desire or don't know what is selling, I invite you to follow your intuition and join the WA anyway; other users will inspire you, talk with them, and follow their excellent training.

You don't have anything to lose. It's FREE to JOIN.

As with many other products or platforms, I have included it among the products within my multiple income streams ecosystem strategy, where I teach how to exploit its features and integrate them into your online business, and I will be happy to share it with you.

Traffic Exchange
Judy Meeks's review...
I can not imagine why anyone would not want to join this program if they are serious about getting traffic to a website with traffic exchanges and viral mailers. I find that it is one of the easiest ways to get loads of credits and it is free.

It is also a great way to get referrals to many different traffic exchanges and viral builders. It is so easy to do to. All you do is log in, click on the 3 bars in the upper right corner and click on either traffic exchange promo codes or viral list builder promo codes.

Then you start going down the list clicking on the not a member link if you are not a member of that particular program or enter your affiliate id if you are already a member.

After you join the program you can click on the view promo code link to find the promo codes. Copy the promo code and paste it to the redeem promo code area of the program. This may be under advertising, set up advertising, redeem promo code, or another link depending on the program.

Traffic Codex will tell you how many promo codes are available, the average user rating and how many members there are in that program, but I would not go by the number of members because that is not always accurate.

I find that the time spent copying and pasting each promo code is well worth it compared to clicking my fingers off every day. This saves me a lot of time and gets me a lot of traffic to my website.

Overall I would say this program is definitely worth it.
