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.

Arnold Fisher's review...
DOSH App is a great opportunity to earn cashback. Use promo code: ARNOLDF1

This app is extremely seamless and literally works to put money back in your pocket without you having to even think about it.

The Dosh app was updated to allows you to find and book hotel rooms and then rewards you with more cashback. Frequent travelers can earn big rewards, depending on where they stay. Dosh partners with more than 600,000 hotels around the world. And get this: you can receive up to 40% cash back when booking a hotel through Dosh.

What I Like

A good friend of mine introduced the Dosh app to me last year. They told me about their referral program and the $15 promo. I jumped right on it and it was very simple to register and verify my info and add my debit and credit cards.

The app provided me with notifications as people joined using my referral link. The app has never crashed on me. I love its simplicity and color scheme. It was easy editing my profile and adding Venmo info to transfer my commissions.

What I Dislike

As of today, I've had no issues with this cashback app.

Final Verdict

The Dosh app has amazing local offers! You can get cash back just by shopping at stores Dosh has listed in on their offers page.

Just use the card(s) linked to your Dosh account to shop and you're good to go. I'll continue to use this app.

Get a $10 - $15 bonus for each person who signs up for Dosh using your unique referral code and connects their debit or credit card to the app.

There is no limit to how many referral bonuses you can earn, but you do have to be a Dosh member to participate in the referral program.

How To Earn The Bonus

  • Click on the 'Refer' button in the Dosh app.
  • Share your unique referral link with your family and friends through social media, email or text message.
  • Receive a $10 - $15 bonus for each person who - Signs up for Dosh using your referral link,
  • Connects a debit or credit card, and Verifies their linked card.
  • Use promo code: ARNOLDF1

Bottom Line

Dosh is really simple to use. You pay for stuff at participating stores, and a small slice of your purchase gets put back into your Dosh balance. Once you have a minimum of $25, you can cash out the balance through your PayPal, Venmo or bank account. You can cash out referral bonus pay using these same methods as well.

Dosh is a great way to earn extra cash simply by spending on things you would buy anyways. It works especially well in big cities where Dosh partners are plentiful.

Scott Hugo's review...
Like me, you've probably been hearing a lot about List Infinity.

I thought it was an interesting offer with big claims, so I signed up for a free account to check it out.

What Is It & Does It Work?

List Infinity is basically a done-for-you, full-featured, "business in a box". Once I signed in and took a look around I quickly realized it was indeed something special, and unique.

Inside of the members area - there is a simple easy to follow navigation panel along the left side with clear step-by-step instructions on how to get the system configured. After seeing the opportunity before me I eagerly upgraded for the one-time fee to the Pro Level membership which paid the affiliate who referred me (Ron J. ) an instant direct payment of $100, and I paid the one-time admin fee of $25 to Derrick Van Dyke (the owner/admin).

The one-time admin fee took me back a little... But I realized it's expensive to run a website and maintain a powerhouse of a website like this. So, it's actually great that Derrick is compensated allowing him to keep it updated and active for us to use. (I was already familiar with Derrick Van Dyke (the owner/admin) from products of his that I had purchased over the years. He's actually a brilliant marketer, that I trust and think of as an incredible leader in the Internet marketing space. )

First it has you setup your system. Which consists of connecting your autoresponder. (I chose to use my LeadsLeap autoresponder. ) Then, there is a pre-designed bridge page which you can customize, helping to engage your new prospect. Next, you can import an email campaign to help build a relationship with your leads, and promote offers of your own or affiliate offers. And then you enter your email for either Paypal or Stripe so you can receive your $25 - $50 - $100 instant direct commission payments. Next you enter your (free) affiliate details for various offers the system makes for you to maximize your earnings with relevant programs. The next section allows you to add any programs of your choice. Finally, the tracking center has all of your stats so you know how many clicks, signups, and sales you're receiving.

What I Like

It has many high converting, beautiful, eye catching lead capture pages to choose from. Enough to fit almost any occasion. I like that you only need to pay once, and can use the system over and over to build your list, and make money 24/7. It's almost unheard of to offer direct affiliate commissions without a waiting period. From the system upgrade alone all it will take me to earn $100K from this is to get 3 sales a day over the course of a year. The social media traffic training is slick, giving an easy way to get endless new opportunity seekers onto our lists. It's awesome that all of the technical details are done by the Admin.

"It's like getting full access to an amusement park that someone already invested in and took care of making sure everything is ready for you. You just bring the guests and you get to keep any money earned by the park. "

Final Words...

If you're looking for an affordable done-for-you opportunity, it would be challenging to find something that could match up to what List Infinity has to offer. Once you do the quick setup, all you need to do is run traffic to any of your done-for-you squeeze pages. Instant direct payments of $25 - $50 - $100 dollars straight to your account? Two words: YES PLEASE!

Safelist Mailer
Dominic Kristianto's review...
My experience with the program so far

I am quite pleased with Mailer.g.ld and that means something because typically I don't use Safelist as my main traffic source.

Apparently, I did change my mind and started using Safelist because I managed to make consistent sales from it.

What I did was send an email as a Free Silver member and track the result. To my surprise, I managed to get 3 clicks and 1 sale out of 600 members to whom I can send my email!

This is nuts! To think that a new Safelist help me make a sale is not my intention. I just want to see the CTR (3 out of 600 is small, but mind you, this is completely cold traffic that never heard about me before).

And for that reason, I decided to upgrade to Lifetime Gold membership for just $16 at the time I write this review.

You see, Mailer.g.ld increases the price with the increment of 0.01 for every new upgrade sale. So the next upgrade price would be $16.01, then $16.02, and so on.

What I Like

Well, I see some "gold" inside this safelist waiting for me to dig it lol. I mean, I did get a sale from the free account, so I can easily justify my decision to upgrade as a No-Brainer one.

Besides the regular email, Gold members will also get 5 text ads and 5 banner ads to get more eyeballs to the offer, and there are also Guaranteed Visitors plus Downline Builder tools that we can use to add some more exposure.

Overall, I like the member's area and the navigation is clear and easy to follow. I guess that is because the owner (Frank Bauer) has done this for a long time. He definitely knows what he is doing.

What I Dislike

Well, since it's still new (less than a year since the launch date), there are less than 3K members right now and that is a low number for a safelist.

Nevertheless, that also means that there is room for improvement and if they become bigger, the founder members will also reap the benefits such as bigger commissions and low initial investment ($16 as I write this review).

Other than that, I don't see any disadvantage of using mailer.g.ld right now.

Final Verdict

Safelist has been known as one of the low-cost methods to get traffic to your offer and build your list. It still is even today. No wonder there are new safelists emerging every year.

I joined mailer.g.ld because of the credibility of the owner and decided to upgrade for a very low investment after I get a good result as a Free Silver Member.

If you want to know whether this is worth it or not, you can just create a free account and test it.

You may get lucky and make one sale or two. Track your result and let it be the final judge before you make decision to upgrade or not. Easy peasy right? ;)

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

Welcome to my review of Lead Hero. This review is my own personal experience with the program and in short, my experience was not good.

Before starting out with Lead Hero I was searching through one of the affiliate platforms just looking for new products to promote and came across Lead Hero.

I had heard about Lead Hero from some reviews from LeadsLeap and decided I was going to go out and look for more information and reviews.

Upon doing this I found all reviews were positive and decided to go and pull the trigger and try this traffic out.

So I went ahead and got the 100-click 69-dollar traffic bundle, provided the information Glen Fedoruk asked for and waited for my traffic.

Upon receiving my traffic I had a 37% opt-in rate which I know isn't much lower than how my capture page works usually which is 45% to 90% but that already raised some Red Flags as the capture page I use goes NO LOWER than 45%...

When the traffic came in I had one person come in from his traffic and they started swearing up a storm at me. Now I do know this happens in marketing and have had maybe 3 people in my time online do this so I was like whatever... I told the guy I am a business online and still have the same rules as a business offline and don't allow people to come to my business and act disrespectfully. I deleted him immediately and went on.

Another person however came in and made a very inappropriate name which they tried to play on words with their name but it is too inappropriate to put here... Again immediately got rid of that one too... Never have I had 2 people from the same traffic do something like this...

My front-end funnel is designed to and usually does get sales on the front end EVERY TIME with any traffic... ANY real buyer traffic that is... No one bought my front-end product at all and as I said I know that you can't expect sales every time... But with my funnel I can because I do get sales every time with real buyer traffic.

I then noticed over a month that these people were ALL UNENGAGED! Yup, Every last one of them was unengaged on my list after a month and did not even get the second product afterwards which is the RPM system which if anyone knows is a FREE product... Not one person signed up for it...

So they didn't buy the front-end product, they didn't sign up to RPM and when going to my GetResponse EACH OF THEM were at a 1 bar engagement rate which 1 bar is unengaged...

So I went to my YouTube channel and did a video about a week ago to declare my findings advising people not to go with it but of course, telling people that if they do that's up to you but I will not promote it because the traffic acted as bot clicks but also provided a link to my top ten traffic sources that do make me sales...

UPON doing this review I put it up and went on about my business. This past week on Friday the owner of Lead Hero Glen Fedoruk did the most unprofessional thing in business and threw accusations at me on my own YouTube video because he was mad that I gave him a bad review.

He also decided to in this comment and accusation proceeded to say that apparently with my top ten traffic sources I am "Scamming" My viewers by showing them real traffic sources that work for me and can work for them as well.

Now I don't know about you but that is defamation of character and can be a chargeable offence, especially in the business world. To which I am starting a defamation suit as that was wrong to come to my business and throw that around.

He also decided to say that I apparently in my video did slander by saying people lied in testimonials. This is not slander as saying someone lied is an expression of opinion and a negative review is ALSO an opinion-based thing as well... Opinions can't be charged and it all falls under the 1st amendment right which is freedom of speech, and opinions.

What I take this as is he is trying to strong-arm me into taking the video down in fear of losing business over this video about traffic that doesn't work.

He THEN proceeded to sign up to my list, Top Ten Traffic sources list with the name Rub and his email was apparently Rubbishstuff@ dah dah dah dah dah.

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND I AM NOT HAPPY AT ALL... This is why I am filing a defamation suit. You can't go around in the business world acting like this...

He also 100% guaranteed things on his site which were 100% false and were not lived up to. As far as I can tell the clicks that came in were Bot Clicks and he said he GUARANTEES there are no bots... ALSO he 100% guarantees this traffic will buy which is what the testimonials said as well... But surprise they did not.

I know guarantees can't be 100% true but then it's not a guarantee and shouldn't be added on your site... That's just the way it is in the world.

I advise everyone reading this not to try his traffic for the reasons that he is VERY unprofessional and has very horrible traffic...

What do you expect for buyer traffic at 69 dollars though? Don't get conned guys...

What I Like

What I like about this... NOTHING... VERY unprofessional service I received during and after the traffic and had the business owner come to my YouTube video acting out at me because of a negative review.

What I Dislike

EVERYTHING about this traffic... I think I labelled everything above that I didn't like... This was the WORST service I have ever received and this guy should not be in business.

Final Verdict

My final verdict to this is Please watch yourselves, everyone. My whole YouTube channel is there to 100% give everyone true 100% reviews on things and this was one of those things that didn't get my stamp of approval.

Only to have the unprofessional business owner come at me but I had every right to post that video as I had not had a good run with his traffic at all...

I can honestly say I am here online and my business is here to stay and will continue to find the products that are good for everyone but also find the products that are bad for everyone too and report on it as I see it...

Stay away from Glen and his Lead Hero... Don't go into it AT ALL

And NO I did not post my affiliate link because I will not promote something LIKE THIS that will harm your businesses.

Greg Renn's review...
So far, honestly, I have no idea how anyone could start an online marketing business and not use leadsleap!

What I like is that it's a one stop shop. They have everything a marketer could want or need all under one roof and all of it is top notch products. They even provide high quality consistent traffic

What I dislike is not much. I guess the auto responder could be less strict but my lists on leadsleap are highly responsive because of the double optin and everything.

Final verdict is If you are not using leadsleap you are missing tons of high quality tools and traffic that will explode your business.
