Mark Hodgetts's review...
My experience with the program so far

Traffic Hoopla has been around for as long as I can remember. It has evolved a lot over the years and has responded to the changing dynamics of the advertising industry as the traffic generation industry has evolved.

Starting out as a ranking service for traffic exchanges solely, Traffic Hoopla has never really pretended to be anything else other than a downline builder and a ranking service.

Over the years there has been much conjecture about the veracity of the rankings, but every week without fail, Hoopla's owner, Bill Carr has published his rankings. He doesn't shy away from the fact that he ranks each advertising service according to several key factors. These are and always have been:

  1. The authenticity of traffic.
  2. The volume of traffic.
  3. The responsiveness of traffic.
  4. The profitability of the affiliate program.

He has copped criticism from time to time about seeming to favor certain exchanges and not rating some very popular ones. However. He has been consistent in ranking traffic services according to his criteria.

From its humble beginnings of ranking the top 10 exchanges, Hoopla has now become a viral traffic generator of its own accord with specific sites dedicated to slightly different sections of the market. Besides the flagship program, Hoople also has sites dedicated to:

  • List Mailers
  • Traffic Exchanges
  • Viral advertising
  • Bitcoin earning sites
  • Rewards earning sites
  • Most profitable traffic earning sites

Each program draws you further into the traffic web, with several traffic sources (including Leads Leap) being consistently recommended across all sites.

As a traffic builder, Hoopla has proven to be more durable than anything else on the market, it also has the added bonus of generating some affiliate commissions over time.

What I Like

Hoopla first and foremost has a trust element built into its brand. It keeps on keeping on. By and large, its rankings (with the occasional surprise) are pretty close to my own perceptions. It is consistent, clear, and never wavers from its core purpose of building traffic. If you use this and recommend it to others, it will help you to build traffic over time.

What I Dislike

Some of Bill's emails are a little folksy for me, but that's really nitpicking. I'd like to see a little more how-to guides for beginners in the member's area as it can be a little confusing. Sometimes. , I fear that Bill's desire to keep things simple may be a little overzealous. But it seems to work for him - so who am I to judge?

Final Verdict

The Hoopla family should be part of your marketing arsenal. Preferably recommended on the back end of your marketing efforts. It is proven to work, helps build traffic, and has been around for almost as long as Traffic Exchanges. If you haven't joined, I think that you should.

Tom Lindstrom's review...
This Udimi.com review will help you learn more about one of the biggest and best sites where you can purchase high-quality email solo ads to promote your online business opportunity.

In this Udimi review, I will share my personal experience of buying solo email ads (see my results at the end of this review), what I especially love about Udimi, and things that could be improved.

Personally, I think Udimi.com is one of the best places you can buy email solo ads; for around $50, you can get 100 clicks to your offer. Buying traffic is an investment in your business. Free traffic will also get you results, but it is very slow and time-consuming.

Only 100% targeted traffic!

You can be 100% sure that only people who are truly interested in what you have to offer will click through and read your message; bots and fake traffic will be automatically filtered out.

The traffic you receive from Udimi is highly targeted because your offer is sent to people who are interested in what you have to offer.

I have purchased 29 email solo ads so far (see my results at the end of the review). I especially love their rating system; it gives me the opportunity to read reviews from other Udimi customers before I place my order.

Quick Results!

You can expect a high volume of traffic. In some cases, the traffic starts within a few hours of ordering. The seller must deliver your traffic within 100 hours of accepting your offer.

Your goal is, of course, to get as many leads as possible to sign up for your offer. If your opt-in page looks professional and you have a great offer, you can expect to get a high opt-in rate (and sales down the line).

When your traffic order is finished, you have the opportunity to rate the seller. This will help others determine if this particular seller's traffic is converting. After rating the seller, you have a 50% chance to win a $5 discount on your next traffic order.

A Few Helpful Hints

When you order clicks at Udimi, you will get the best results by choosing a vendor that offers traffic in your niche. So, if you have an offer in the "make money online" niche, you need to pick a vendor that offers traffic in that particular niche.

The Udimi website is also very easy to use; you can do a search to find sellers in your own niche, and your old solo ads and payment information are saved in the system for later use.

The site also has a chat feature that allows you to chat with the vendor and get more information about the traffic. The support team helps with any questions you may have.

Udimi.com also has many in-depth tutorials available for solo email ad buyers. I especially recommend reading the "How to Buy a Solo Ad" tutorial before you do anything else.

You will learn lots of useful tips and avoid costly mistakes. Buying email solo ads is very effective, but it must be done correctly in order to get great results.

Another great tip I can give is to read the forum regularly. The forum is the best place to learn about email solo ads and ask questions. Other members (both buyers and sellers) will answer any questions you may have.

There is also an affiliate program available if you are interested in earning commissions for referring new members.

Always start small!

When you find a seller that has an email list that matches your offer, be sure to read the reviews from other customers before you place your order. It will give you an idea if this seller delivers what he or she promises and if recent customers have received sales and opt-ins from their solo ads.

It is always a good idea to start with a small campaign first to see if it converts or not. You can always buy more clicks later.

Buying email solo ads is always a bit risky; you can never be 100% sure of the outcome. If you are serious about building an online business, then you must invest money in it.

Udimi is one of the best places to buy advertising; you can really build a responsive email list just by investing a small amount per month. Email is probably the quickest way to build a responsive email list.

Usually, when buying email solo ads from Udimi or some other place, you will get sales over time when your subscribers receive more information about your offer and get to know you. It takes time to build a relationship with your subscribers.

Always write down from which seller you buy ads and what results you get from each mailing. When you find a good seller, you can easily buy more leads and scale your business

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.

Sergiel Ettinger 's review...
Overview of Classifiedsubmissions.com:

Good day fellow internet marketers! I was introduced to Classifiedsubmissions.com about a week ago based on a recommendation from a trusted source. Classifiedsubmissions.com is a service, which for a very reasonable fee, will promote your classified ad and website each month to 1000's of advertising pages.

In addition your clickable text ad will be displayed in rotation at the top of every page on 26+ high traffic sites 24/7 providing quality exposure on 1000's of advertising pages each month.

What I Like

There are many things that I like about Classifiedsubmissions.com. For the exposure and amount of traffic they can potentially provide to your website or landing page, the value is tremendous for the amount they charge.

They have various packages available to fit a variety of budgets. One option is the monthly submission package which runs $39.95 per month (+ $10.00 set up fee for the first month). This package is a great way to test out the traffic before committing with a higher priced package. The next package option is the quarterly (3 month) package for $77.00. Finally there is the yearly package for a one time fee of $197.00, providing a savings of $282. This was the package I opted for as it provided the most bang for my buck.

Once your account is set up you are provided with a members area in which you can track where your ads have been placed as well as the hits / clicks you are receiving to your advertisement.

As of the time of writing this review it has only been four days since I signed up and paid the $197.00 fee and I have received 211 unique clicks, the vast majority of which have come from the US.

What I Dislike

If there is anything negative to be said about Classifiedsubmissions.com, the only thing I can really say is that the traffic is not completely targeted. Unlike say Facebook or Google ads, where you can target a certain interest group or demographic, the classified ad submissions are broadly placed. However, if you are promoting a topic with broad interest such as, income, health, or relationships you should have a good response rate in any event.

Final Verdict

If you are looking to grow your email list or increase the traffic to your website or landing page, in my view you cannot go wrong with Classifiedsubmissions.com.

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.

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

I just joined this company a week ago and I joined initially just for the products. I was with another company using their CBD oil and I was paying $89 for a 750 bottle and their price for the same thing is $18 so I think that is a no brainer plus there are other products they have that I will use.

As I have started to explore the website it just makes sense to use the products but create a side income although they do state you can earn up to $2K+ without referring anyone. While that may be possible it's unlikely it's like 24 cents for anyone who falls into your matrix and you would need to get thousands of people from spill over in order for that happen.

What I Like

The prices and the monthly membership fee is only is $9.95 which I paying $147.00 a month to be on auto ship with my other company. I like the membership idea which models Costco.

What I Dislike

Building a team with a matrix that is based on the efforts of other people and if you want to make any kind of size able income you do need to depend on the efforts of other people.

Final Verdict

So far I am liking it and can't wait to get my products. The company and people seem like they really want everyone to succeed.
