I am a young earner when it comes to online money making. I boast a combined earnings of over a thousand dollars a month and growing. I enjoy IM Report Card as it interests me because I am able to learn about different services, products, and "gurus" at the same time as earning credits for money.

gringo1's comment on Copy Paste Systems ...
Not worth the investment
In my personal opinion, this product wasn't really worth the huge investment of nearly a hundred dollars along with a couple hours of work. This product did allow me to earn money, a very small amount though. The product claims to be able to allow you to simply copy and paste things and begin earning money. However, the earnings are very small and there is quite a bit more work than simply copying and pasting.
I did not like this product at all. I mean, it does work to earn you small amounts of money, and it does teach you a bit of information, but it simply was not worth the investments. I do not recommend this e-book to anyone unless you are attempting to use the methods provided in collaboration with other methods in order to maximize effectiveness. All in all, it wasn't worth it to me.
gringo1's comment on Ad Toll ...
Same as others
Ad Toll appeared to me as the same type of advertising company as many others that I have seen before. They offer both publisher accounts and advertising accounts. The advertisers are allowed to place ads with prices per view or lead or action. While the publishers are allowed to take the ads from the advertisers and then place them on their own sites or blogs in order to make a profit.
I found this service, like many others, a small earner. The amount of profit generated from my sites were very small ( a few dollars) so there was no real reason to be paid. I ended up switching back to Google Adsense completely, in hopes that it would be easier to use and also earn me a little bit more.
Although I earned a very little with Ad Toll, I will admit that it does earn money. The earnings are pretty much based on the action of your visitors to your site. I rate this service a C+ because it allows for publishers and advertisers but doesn't really set itself apart from many of the other services of this type.
gringo1's comment on Simplx ...
Good for a drop shipping company
Drop shipping businesses online can either be a hit or miss in terms of having a successful business. Some may find that drop shipping allows them to make a great second income, while others feel that it is a totally useless online money making method.
From my experience with Simplx, I can say that drop shipping can be used to make a decent amount of money if done right. I used Simplx when drop shipping seemed like a good method of earning a second income for myself. I soon found out that the drop shipping company, in this case Simplx, is only a fraction of what it takes to be successful. I went through a lot of work with advertising and other things that led to me losing a bit of money.
I stopped using Simplx simply because I was not making enough profit. I made a bit of money each month, maybe around $200 on average. However, the price for maintaining my online business cost me more than I was making. So for me, drop shipping businesses became a thing of the past. However, I must say that Simplx was a pretty good service that was relatively easy to use. My major downfall using this service was not it's quality, but rather my ability to draw attention to the products I was selling. I rate this service a B because it was pretty good, but simply did not work out for me personally.
gringo1's comment on Yola ...
Great service for free or paid
I used Yola for about three months until I decided to switch and purchase my own domain etc. I found that Yola is one of the better web hosting services out there. Also, each member could either be a paid member or a free one.
With my free membership I was able to create my site and it actually came out quite well. I was able to customize various aspects of my site in order to sell my products. The main reason why I left Yola was not due to it's service, it was due to the fact that there are way better web hosting services out there.
However, I will not deny Yola of it's true potential. Yola is a inexpensive or free service that will allow people to create their own website and learn a lot about running a website and all the processes involved (at least I did). I think of Yola as a learning experience that allowed me to decide that I should move on to more expensive services in order to meet my needs in regards to web hosting. The least that I can say is that Yola is actually a really great service that taught me a lot about websites.
gringo1's comment on Referral-Secrets ...
Waste of investment
I invested seven dollars as well as a couple hours of my time into this product. The least that I can say about Referral-Secrets is that it is an utter and complete waste of time for anyone.
I used this product in order to try to gain referrals for various online money making services. Come to find out, after my investment of a couple hours and seven dollars of my own money, I had only gotten one referral. I got one referral after using this product for one month.
The biggest disappointment was that the one referral I got didn't even do anything on the site that I referred them to. Although in a sense this product worked to get me that one referral, the investment of my time and money proved that it was a complete waste.
gringo1's comment on N1Way ...
An abundance of useful information
N1Way is a great way for anyone who is an aspiring online marketer to begin earning money or boosting their earnings online. This product is actually just a huge amount of information that allows anyone to begin their own niche website.
Niche websites can be extremely difficult to start and earn money from, unless you have the right resources. When I first tried N1Way I barely knew what a niche website was, never mind being able to start my own by myself. However, after studying the methods and information given with the product, I am confident and glad to say that I am the owner of a niche website that boasts me a couple hundred dollars each month.
I would recommend N1Way for marketers or aspiring marketers of all levels. It is the simplest and best way to start your own niche website by simply learning and following steps. N1Way is an A+ in my books.
gringo1's comment on Lazy Cash Formula ...
Suggested for people who are extremely new
I decided to give this program a try in hopes that it may potentially make my online ventures a little more automated. Apparently I got the wrong impression from the advertisements. Whatever the case, I still purchased the service.
I soon realized that the only real involvement that I had with making money online was copying and pasting things here and there. I did not learn anything from this product other than how to waste money. I feel that Lazy Cash Formula is for aspiring marketers that would like to earn some cash, usually very little, online with minimal effort.
The main reason why I didn't learn anything useful from this program was that it doesn't really attempt to teach the customer anything. Instead, the service merely does all the minor work for you and sets up a mediocre online campaign for you. I rate this service a C-, because although it did nothing great for me, some may find it potentially useful.
gringo1's comment on Template Monster ...
Great template service
Template Monster was a service that I was skeptical about for a bit of time. However, through research and customer testimonials I decided that I would give it a try.
The main reason I decided to try Template Monster was that it seemed like a legit source for website templates and that also it may be a source for templates that is quite different from the rest. I was amazed to find that they had a huge array of different styles of templates for everything that a website owner may possibly need.
Not only did Template Monster allow me to find templates that fit my sites, it also allowed me to have more of an option to customize my site and run it the way that it should be.
Through the use of the templates I found on Template Monster, I was able to not only improve the appeal of my site, but also I was able to boost the sales of my products. Template Monster is truly a great service that is one of a kind.
gringo1's comment on My Digital Dispatch ...
Great product
I wrote my very first e book around six months ago and was having great difficulty selling it. There was not really much difficulty in finding customers for my e book. However, all the steps involved in selling and delivering my e book to my customers was the largest challenge for myself.
With My Digital Dispatch, I was able to organize my products as well as make checkout and all other steps involved with each purchase much easier. My customers were able to place their order and then download my e book instantly.
I continue to use this product now as I am near the completion of my third e book. I would recommend this product exclusively for people who are attempting to market their own digital products, or more specifically those which are downloadable such as e books.
gringo1's comment on Twitter Brute ...
Great for traffic, promotion, and overall success
I used many products that were similar to Twitter Brute. However, I found that it was extremely difficult to find a tool that would allow me to do all of the automation that I would like.
Automation can prove useful for people like me who have multiple websites, multiple blogs, and multiple online ventures. With the lack of time that I have to dedicate to Twitter I felt that I would need to turn to automation in order to do myself justice in terms of using Twitter.
I began using Twitter Brute simply trying to automate my Twitter account to potentially increase followers as well as the traffic and attention that my pages were getting. Little did I know, Twitter Brute actually did everything that I wanted as well as some other surprises. One major surprise was that Twitter Brute actually helped to increase my sales rather dramatically. I find this product great and well worth it.
gringo1's comment on Gary Bacchetti ...
Gary knows his stuff
When I first began attempting to be an online marketer, I was less than pleased with the results that I was achieving on my own. This led me to seek out a mentor, or potentially a person that had written resources online that I could look at frequently for help. After searching for a while online I found Gary Bacchetti online through internet searches (searching for marketing mentors etc. ). After reading some of his writing, as well as sending him a few emails, I began to learn quite a bit about marketing.
I feel that Gary is really a guru that lives up to his title. Simply said, he is extremely knowledgeable in marketing and in my books I refer to him as an expert on the subject. A+!
gringo1's comment on Chris Farrell Membership ...
Up to date marketing information source
The main thing that I enjoyed about this service the most was that it seemed very up to date. With ever changing trends and technology in society, it is important to be able to keep up as a online marketer.
Also, the broad array of different subjects that Chris gives information on is very appealing. At the low price of less than 30 bucks a month you can't help but be satisfied. I continue to use this service as sort of a resource for whenever I need to find something out about what I am doing or what I think I may want to try.
All in all, with the use of this service I have seen a growth in my sales as well as the number of hits to my sites per day. I would recommend this service for people who are new, or have little experience in the online marketing scene. It's a great service and is very informative.
gringo1's comment on Bronto ...
The way to go!
I have been using Bronto for about four months now for both generating traffic and promoting the products that I offer on my site. The main feature of this service is mass amounts of emails that's can be sent to a large amount of people.
When using this service, I send emails currently for three main reasons. The first reason I use it would be to generate traffic to my sites and blogs which allows me to generate leads as well as earn money from products sold and advertisements. The second reason I use this service is that it allows me to promote the products that I sell on my sites in order to draw in target consumers. The third reason I use this service is to promote my deals on my products, as I have certain specials and deals that I offer on my site often.
All in all, this service is great for sending mass emails. I rate it an A+ for it's use-ability and ease.
gringo1's comment on Traffic Travis ...
Optimization made easy
Search engine optimization is a complicated process. With all the competition on the web for traffic through search engines it is nearly impossible to have a high search engine rating without immense knowledge in SEO techniques. For people like me who know very little about SEO, Traffic Travis was a great opportunity that I was quite skeptical about at first. I decided to try it after doing a bit of research online. This was three months ago.
Ever since I began using Traffic Travis, the visitor count on my blogs have multiplied. I went from having possibly a few hundred visitors each month to over five thousand.
Not only does this service work, it is extremely easy to use and practically anyone could use it. I found that it is best used on blogs and websites with a lot of text. I currently still use this service whenever I am posting new things to my blogs. I rate this service an A.
gringo1's comment on Gravity Forms ...
Great for generating potential leads
I use Gravity Forms currently to generate leads on my blog and website. The service comes in great use when trying to gather information about better leads. With this service I collect email information, phone numbers, and additional information.
This information all comes in use in marketing my products simply because I can have better contact with potential clients. Instead of just gathering an email address and name, I am able to gather much more information. The information allows me to have a higher probability of targeting buyers for my products.
Also, I use the option of allowing my customers to leave product feedback about each product. This also allows me to boost sales because if many customers like a product, others may too. A new potential lead who is reading customer feedback on my products is more likely to be influenced to make a purchase.
This service is great for marketers in my opinion. I have yet to use this program for anything other than lead generation as well as feedback. However, I plan to use this service in the future in different ways to keep growing my sales. I rate Gravity Forms an A+.
gringo1's comment on Mass Control ...
Great for learning how to earn big!
Mass Control is a program that I regard as one of the best instructional services that are offered on the web. I ordered this product and received it via mail in about a week. I was astonished to see that it wasn't composed of the traditional one DVD instructional video.
What I actually got was multiple DVDs as well as other resources that would potentially influence my success in making money online. I followed the videos and instructions for about 2 or three weeks step by step.
All in all, I must say that the product was well worth the investment now that I am making at least half of my income from the methods I learned through the instructional videos. Also, I am glad to say that I can refer back to my Mass Control resources every time I need assistance with my marketing online. I rate this service an A+
gringo1's comment on Platinum Resell Rights ...
Great for marketing
Platinum Resell Rights is a great program that is sort of like affiliate marketing. However, the products that you sell bring you more profits through their program. This service shows that you can pay a small price for a big opportunity.
When I started this service about three months ago I figured it would be another marketing scam site that promises to teach you all the knowledge in the world but doesn't make you any money. Within the first three months I made almost five hundred dollars.
This service is sort of like the diamond in the sand to me. I will continue using this service and selling different products. I combine this service with others to complete my money making scheme. I use other services in order to generate traffic and attention to my products. However, this service is the backbone to my scheme. I rate this service a B+ because it's a great opportunity that no person seeking an online marketing opportunity should pass up.
gringo1's comment on 24 Hour Web Cash ...
Wasted my time
This site is another one of those fancy scamming sites which claims to teach you exactly how to make money and all that. What they promise you is to be taught marketing by an "expert". The training is extremely simple and all of the information can be found online for free.
Also, they give you two websites which are practically useless. One of which is to sell products as an affiliate. The products I was selling hardly ever sold and made me no money. I ended up spending more money, time, and effort into this program than what I benefited.
This program is honestly not worth the time and hype. One could find all the information in the training online free and also start a website hassle free and do whatever they want with it.
gringo1's comment on WP Robot ...
Good for bloggers
WP is a great program that I use on one of my alternate blogs (not my main one). I use it because simply I cannot keep up with all of my blogs. I mainly focus on a few of my blogs which I refer to as main blogs. Other than that, I let WP handle my other blogs.
It supplied me with great blog posts for my other blogs as well as helped my blog posts be more optimized to search engine results. I soon found that my "alternate" blogs rivaled those blogs which I pay the most attention to.
This service is definitely worth it and does bring a lot of traffic to your blog through SEO, keywords, and good relative information.
gringo1's comment on Nitro Tax Helper ...
Great experience with this service
I continue to use this service after trying it last year. It's great for collecting and filling out tax information. This service helped me find all of the information that would be considered difficult to find out which would make it hard to account for in my taxes.
I was able to fill out my taxes far better than usual. I saved a bit of money compared to when I have attempted to do my taxes myself or speak to an expert. The fact that it is easy to use and it's usefulness saved me money on my taxes and that is what made this program appealing to me.
I suggest anyone who wants to do their taxes but is unsure of anything to try this service. A+
gringo1's comment on MyCashPrinter.com ...
Bad work from home service
This service, unlike others, is one of those "work at home" services that promise you potential earnings and the works. This site is a scam unlike many others. Also, they claim to have a great customer service program as well as 24 hour service.
I never once got a hold of them to ask about my refund which I had never seen after a month of waiting. This site is a joke in my opinion. I would imagine it does not completely rip you off. I, however, did not find this service to be of use whatsoever.
I still have yet to be refunded. The most I have gained from using this program is the knowledge to research things before I invest money into them.
gringo1's comment on Silent Sales Machine ...
Great for selling on eBay!
I purchased this eBook in search of ways to increase my profit from eBay sales. I was originally selling just simple items around my house (baseball card, etc. ). However, after purchasing this eBook I was inspired to begin selling other products online as well.
I quickly learned the tools of the trade and began making money online through the teachings of this eBook.
The creator of this eBook is brilliant in my opinion. The purchased eBook was an enormous length of almost 150 pages! This eBook contains 150 some odd pages of great information. I am now selling items on eBay which I also use my website to promote. I boast a monthly earnings ranging from a couple hundred to a couple thousand. The eBook was well worth the purchase and I plan to continue using it.
gringo1's comment on Alvin Phang ...
A true guru
Alvin Phang is regarded to as one of the top internet "gurus". This is because he has been successful in so many areas. Alvin's blog profits is the one thing that amazes me the most about him. He has created many eBooks and products that may be purchased online.
I have research Alvin for inspiration and tried many of his products regarding successful blogging. I have found that he really knows his stuff. Immediately after purchasing one of his eBooks I realized that this would change my blog profits forever.
The eBook I had purchased cost me around $30 and was worth every cent. I learned how to correctly monetize my blog, advertise, and all together boost my profits! Alvin remains to be a person who inspires me when it comes to my blogging and advertising efforts.
gringo1's comment on LinkReferral ...
Worked great for me
LinkReferral continues to work great for me after a month. What you do in order to gain traffic is you view other people's sites as well as review and rate them. This system works so well because there are different site directories that allow you to view sites with content that you want. This allows for others to view your site when they want to view that specific type of information.
You are able to view 30 sites, review 5, favorite 1, and post on the forums each day to get your site listed high in the listings. I got my site to #1 a few times.
I continue to receive good traffic from this service. I was surprised that it actually had gotten me a couple referrals on my blogs. I think LinkReferral is a great service that people who are trying to promote their web space should all try.
gringo1's comment on Sales Letters Creator ...
Great for non writers
Sales Letters Creator is a great service that allows you to write sales letters in under ten minutes with ease. The only downside that I found with this service is the price of nearly 50 bucks.
Now I admit to be no writer and couldn't write to save my life. This program proved to be especially great for me since it did all the work for me. I love having the option of saving my sales letters for future use.
Also, the extreme ease of use in this service is another plus. Although there was a high price tag on this service, I feel that it was actually worth the price. I found that after using this service my products and services gained a lot more attention. I recommend this service for people who are not so much writers but also need to create sales letters. I rate this service an A+ for ease of use as well as value.
gringo1's comment on 7 Ways To Make $700 In 7 Days ...
The info can be research online
This eBook was a complete waste of time and money for me personally. I do not believe it was worth the almost $40 spent on buying it. I believe the information contained in the eBook should have been free.
All of the information in this eBook can be researched at many sites online. I found that when I purchased the eBook I had purchased information that I already knew.
7 Ways to Make $700 in 7 Days is not a scam. However, it is an eBook with information that has already been spread across the net and can be accessed easily. I only recommend this eBook for people who are extremely new to making money online.
gringo1's comment on Revsharecycler ...
Wasted my money
This service claimed to be able to make me all kinds of money though advertising and a bunch of other opportunities. Actually, what it did do is waste about two months of my time and 20$. I see that another member commented about being number 900 something in line. I was number 1204 out of around 1300.
I do not ever expect to get my money back or get the service that Revsharecycler promised. I really thought at first that this service would work, and would actually make me a great deal of money unlike others.
The thing is, if Revsharecycler lived up to it's claims and worked how it was supposed it it may have been good. However, instead of working I wasted $20 and a bunch of time. I do not recommend this service for anyone else.
gringo1's comment on Top3Percent ...
Well worth it
I tried Top3Percent for about two months and was very, very pleased with the results. I got around 120 referrals to many of the programs that I use. Through this service I have been able to make hundreds.
The information offered with this service is not merely info you could find online, it's valuable information that I learned from.
The thing I liked about this service so much was that it actually lived up to its claims of getting you referrals. Referrals are the main thing that I actually used this for. I also used it to generate traffic to my sites to promote my products and services.
This service is one of those "all around" services that offer many things into one membership. With such a small price to pay, 5 dollars, this service is more than worth it. I would recommend this service for people who are looking to build downlines or referrals. I rate Top3Percent an A+ for what it has done for my marketing and referrals.
gringo1's comment on My Business in 20 Minutes ...
All this info can be found online
I found this service to be completely worthless. I have found the information offered here, as well as more in depth tutorials, for free online. The service is a paid service which teaches you how to start earning money online in as little as twenty minutes.
When I began this program I actually felt as if I was ahead of the information. For example, I would have done so much in the past that I was already ahead of the members who would be considered intermediate.
This service did absolutely nothing for me. Also, I have asked for my money to be reimbursed but have failed to receive it. I am extremely unhappy with the service offered by "My Business In 20 Minutes" because it taught me literally nothing. The service did not even so much as compliment on my previously learned skills.
I rate this service an F, for its lack of usefulness for me personally.
gringo1's comment on MoreNiche ...
Didn't work out for me
MoreNiche is one of those programs that are free, has great services, and offers a lot, but just can't seem to live up to what it's for. To me, this service did very little. I'll admit, I made around $40 in sales from the products and services I was promoting (gaming).
I decided to just stop using this service because I found many other affiliate services that fit my needs better.
However, I found great peer help and service at MoreNiche. I was able to find help with anything I needed relatively fast. The great community that MoreNiche boasts is one of their upsides.
The part that I enjoyed the most about MoreNiche was that the community was just so great. It seemed that if I ever needed help, other members were there to offer advice. I rate this service a B just because it is a good service, and also the community and service is just awesome.
gringo1's comment on Craigslist Traffic ...
Worth the price
In my personal opinion, I say that this service is completely worth the price. Before using Craigslist Traffic I had no idea that Craigslist could be utilized in such a way.
The eBook cost me 7$ and was well worth it. I was able to bring an extra couple hundred people to my blogs every month. By doing this I am able to target specific traffic and boost my profit generated by my blog. No matter what type of traffic you are trying to target this service can work for you. I feel that my investment of just seven dollars was well worth it. Now I can always refer back to the eBook whenever I need to know something. Also, I still receive a lot of traffic, although I didn't really put much effort into it. I rate this eBook a B because it is awesome for generating targeted traffic to promote your blog or products.
gringo1's comment on Landing Page Authority ...
Got me more customers
Landing Page Authority is a great service aimed at internet marketers. I was a bit unsure if this service would actually live up to its claims to help me sell my products.
After trying Landing Page Authority for the first week, I knew that it was a great investment. The service provides everything you could possibly need in order to build your website, attract customers, and be overall successful in your marketing.
Within the first week of using LPA I re-did my site, added a cool video, and even got many new ideas to attract attention to my site. This service has seriously doubled my profits from the products I sell on my website. I am very pleased with LPA and feel that other affiliate marketers should give it a try. After starting this service, my website has a more professional appearance and my products seem to wow the customers :-).
gringo1's comment on System Smart ...
Great source for information
I joined System Smart about three months ago and it has truly allowed me to create a booming online business.
System Smart is a service that teaches you absolutely everything you need to know in order to not only create an online business, but a booming online business. What I liked the most about this service is that it lived up to its claims.
System Smart lived up to its claims by teaching me things I had previously not known before about running an online business. I feel that my investment into this system was well worth it as my profits from selling products online has nearly quadrupled. Before giving this service a try I was skeptical about online business and wasn't making any money really. After starting the system, I learned methods and ways in order to fine tune my online business as well as expand and target consumers.
All in all, I found this service to be one of a kind. I feel that anyone who is looking to have a business online should not pass up System Smart.
gringo1's comment on URL Cash ...
Decent service for monetizing
I used URL Cash to place ads on my blog before I joined a different program. I found that URL Cash is not so bad, however there are better services out there of this nature.
After my first month using URL Cash I just barely made payout and I was pretty happy. URL Cash is actually not that bad when compared to some other services. This service allows for some to make a small trickle of money every month and they have many different types of advertisements you can post. I recommend this service for anyone who is just looking to make a little money with their blog, not loads of cash, but a little money. This service is definitely worth a try to use as long as you have the right amount of traffic coming to your site.
gringo1's comment on Arclicks ...
Don't waste your time
I used Arclicks for about a month and expected payout which has yet to happen. It seems as if they are a scam in my opinion. Without question I may say that I have found services that claim they will "pay for action" such as this and most do not pay.
I stopped using Arclicks mainly because it was extremely tedious, and after all that work they decided not to pay me. Also, if they did pay me I would probably not consider becoming active on their site either because of how tedious and intensive it is.
I rated this service an F because I believe that it is not only a scam, a complete waste of time, and extremely tedious, I also feel that it does not offer much to its users. Arclicks is a scam, plain and simple.
gringo1's comment on Rackspace ...
Serious for businesses
I used Rackspace in order to help get my ebay business started. I was able to get a website and everything else I would have possibly needed for my business. This service seemed to have it all. I actually have no complaints about Rackspace.
I used Rackspace for nearly four months and sold many items on my site. I was very pleased with not only the service they offered, but also everything they offered. I was able to receive as much help as I needed with my site and service.
What pleased me the most about Rackspace is that it actually worked for me. I have seen very few services that could do so much for its users.
The only reason I left Rackspace and closed my account was due to the lack of time I had after switching to full time at my job.
There is a great possibility that in the future I will return to Rackspace when looking for a good hosting service to start my business again. I recommend Rackspace for individuals who are serious about their business and are looking for something that works. A+.
gringo1's comment on ResidualQUIK ...
Great for some things
I have tried ResidualQUIK and found that the only use the service really has for me personally is the traffic.
ResidualQuik is a program which helps promote your business ventures, whatever they may be. I joined as a free member and just wasn't too thrilled about all of the things they offered. However, I did take advantage of the free credits I received upon signing up.
With these free credits I was able to send traffic to my website. The traffic was decent and got me a few leads, as well as earned me a little on my advertising. Other than the traffic, this service has done little to nothing for me.
Potentially this service could be good for some, others like me will just take advantage of the free traffic deal. All in all, this service did little for me but may help many. I rate ResidualQUIK a C.
gringo1's comment on EarthLink ...
Best dial up service
Earthlink was my ISP before I switched to a company which offered DSL. Their service was superb and I never one had an issue with them.
I made the switch to a company who offered DSL almost immediately when it became available. I have recently found out that Earthlink is now offering DSL in some areas.
I am hoping that Earthlink will be offering DSL in my location so that I may make the switch back to their service.
Overall, I would say that Earthlink is among one of the best internet service providers which I have had the pleasure of doing business with. Their customer service is also great, whenever I needed service they responded immediately and the issue was solved as soon as it happened. I recommend EarthLink for people interested in their service.
gringo1's comment on Lunar Pages ...
Best domain deal
The service that is offered overall by Lunar Pages is outstanding. I began using this service about seven or eight months ago. I am extremely pleased about many things with this service.
The customer service and overall satisfaction offered with this service is nothing short of amazing. When you purchase a domain you are able to fully customize your own page, as well as many other features. Their prices are seemingly unmatched to any other offer I have ever seen.
With a membership I not only received my own website, but all of their features as well. Apart from having to create my website, I feel that everything I could possibly need was available to me. There is almost limitless potential when using a domain from Lunar Pages. This service has been a blessing for me for almost a year and I plan to continue using it for years to come.
gringo1's comment on List Joe ...
Failed to show results
List Joe is a safelist type service which allows you to send out your own personal promotional emails to large amounts of people.
I began using this service almost exactly one month ago. Although it promised to show results and all of that, I did not receive the results I was looking for. Specifically I was looking for people to browse my blogs, subscribe, and potentially follow them. This site did in fact get me traffic, but the traffic was useless. This site is only good for generating traffic to your site and is not good for anything else. My recommendation is to only use List Joe as a promoter and to generate traffic to your web pages and that's all.
gringo1's comment on Link Adage ...
Great for traffic but not targeted
This service did not work out for me so much the way I assumed it would. I did in fact gain enormous amounts of traffic to my site, however they yielded me no profit from my marketing and advertisement campaigns. I found this service to be extremely useful in gaining traffic to my site, however it was not targeted traffic. I stopped using this service after my first try because I did not feel it was right for me.
gringo1's comment on adCause ...
Not for me personally
I used this service for about a week before I pulled the plug. While using this, advertisements would present themselves on my twitter. I do not use twitter so often but many of my twitter followers are friends and family.
My friends and family were not so pleased about the advertisements and thought my twitter account had been "hacked". I failed to get any good action towards the ads associated with this program.
Although I had a negative experience with adCause, I am not saying it doesn't have it's uses. adCause can be used effectively if you have a large roster of followers on Twitter and may potentially earn you money. This service did not work out for me personally but others may find it useful.
gringo1's comment on Ads 4 Earners ...
Full of surprises, good surprises
Ads 4 Earners is among the best services that you could use to advertise or generate traffic to your personal web pages or products. I became a free member on this site about 3 weeks ago and found a very pleasant surprise after signing up. Upon signing up I was given five thousand credits towards my advertising.
This came to be a surprise because not many ad exchanges or safelist sites will do this. I began sending traffic to my blog as soon as I signed up. After running out of credits I found another pleasant surprise. Credits were incredibly easy to obtain and did not take hours or surfing. I continue to use this site to promote my blogs and generate more traffic to increase earnings from advertisements.
gringo1's comment on 1WayLinks ...
Great new innovative service
1WayLinks is a service which is aimed specifically at bloggers in order to promote their blogs and generate traffic. The overall system which 1WayLinks runs on is nothing short of spectacular.
When I first started my blog over two years ago I discovered the pains and aches of trying to promote it as well as bringing a great deal of traffic through. Then I found 1WayLinks. 1WayLinks helped me to generate loads of traffic, and may I emphasize on the word loads.
Seeing that the results of using this program were so great, I decided to invest a little money into it. I was a member for a couple of months which boosted my traffic greatly (in the thousands). I would recommend this service to anyone who is troubled by bringing traffic to their blog.
gringo1's comment on 12 Week Marketer ...
Great appearance
Back when it first arrived on the marketing scene I decided to give 12 Week Marketer a try. I was intrigued greatly by the appearance of this service in that it hosted live seminars.
Other than the appearance, the seminars seemed to offer more basic knowledge about marketing and online businesses. The things that they cover are great, and they also give a great deal of effort into explaining how things work.
The thing was that I felt I knew a great majority of the things they were discussing and teaching in the seminars and info packs. After my fourth or fifth week I decided to stop the program and ask for a refund. I received my refund fully and had no complaints on that matter.
All in all, the service is great for people who are new or intermediate with online marketing and business. I rate this service a C+ as it does offer a great deal of info and also has great appeal.
gringo1's comment on Free Million Auto Surf ...
Great traffic exchange
I recently joined this traffic exchange service and I find it to be great. However, the only downside is you have to view almost 800 pages before you are able to list your own pages.
The surfing is automatic and took me a few hours. I just kinda left my browser open while it auto surfed and it wasn't quite a hassle. I now have my page listed and am getting quite a bit of hits from it. I am using this service mainly for my blog.
The service is great in my opinion because it's fast, easy, and it works. I rate Free Million Auto Surf an A for outstanding service and ease of use.
gringo1's comment on BlogAds ...
Confusing and low earner
I tested BlogAds for about one month on one of my newest blogs. My blogs receives a good amount of traffic but has not made me nearly as much money as my other blogs have using other publishing services.
BlogAds also presents an extremely confusing service. I personally did not know where to begin and how exactly to put the advertisements on my blog to begin earning. Soon after figuring out how to put the ads on my page I removed them (about 2-3 weeks after).
The main reason why I do not like BlogAds is how tedious it is to setup and use the service. Also, the advertisements that you are able to put on your blog are low earners. There are plenty of other programs which I have tried that had more to offer. BlogAds seems to me like the epitome of blog ad services. I found this service to be a complete waste of time.
gringo1's comment on LinkMetro ...
Plenty of benefits
I used this service to exchange links for my blogs and my web site. Although the total money I have spent is around 30-40$, I have found the service to be more than worth it. LinkMetro has helped bring traffic to my site that is permanent, visitors that are actually interested in my products and information.
I recommend LinkMetro for all people who are looking to get their links out there the right way. LinkMetro is affordable and easy to use.
gringo1's comment on Adgitize ...
Traffic and money at the same time
I use and absolutely love Adgitize. I use it for one of my many blogs and it can easily be a replacement for other advertisement services. I have a publishers account on Adgitize and I love their pay system. What happens is advertisers pay a flat cost in order to put their ads on your blog.
This is an extremely effective way to earn money with you blog. I currently run a few adds which brings me 4$ per day. Although 4$ a day does not look like much, it adds up at the end of the month. Adgitize allows me to make over a hundred dollars from two of my blogs every month.
I recommend Adgitize for any person owning a blog and looking to earn a little money with it from publishing ads. A+ for outstanding opportunity to earn with my blogs.
gringo1's comment on Netbug Advertising ...
Not all it's cracked up to be
Netbug advertising uses advertising methods that involve videos. Being a free member, I did not earn anything after about a month. I decided to use Netbug instead to simply advertise but still did not see much of an increase in profits. I got views to my advertisements, but that's all I got. Netbug advertising is not a complete letdown because it does have potential; it is just not the type of program I would personally recommend for many people other than large businesses. This being said, I rate Netbug Advertising a C+ because it does have it's uses in regards to larger marketing campaigns.
gringo1's comment on Million Leads For Free ...
Spruced up traffic exchange
As a traffic exchange, this service is like all others. However, there is the potential for generating leads for your products as well. The leads I generated came to be of no use to me in selling my products on my site. However, the traffic generated by the service was exceptional compared to other traffic exchanges. The only downside to Million Leads For Free is that it takes a bit of effort and time to have your account activated. All in all, I personally think this service should be rated as a traffic exchange with the lead generating possibility, only then will it stand out compared to others in the same category. I rate Million Leads For Free a B because it does generate leads and is great for traffic.
gringo1's comment on Active Conversion ...
One of the greatest
Active conversion has shown me that there can be inexpensive but effective lead generating services out there. When I started my website and began putting products on my site I was in search for a way to get leads. After searching the web and trying what must have been at least a hundred different lead generating services I found Active Conversion. Skeptical at first, I proceeded to try out the 30-day trial and was amazed by what happened. I had discovered a lead generating service that not only worked, but worked great. it's extremely easy to use and is pretty inexpensive compared to others. I recommend Active Conversion to all people who are trying to generate leads for their products. A+
gringo1's comment on Lead Club ...
Bad source of leads
In combination with many other services focused on generating leads for my products, I decided to give Lead Club a try. At first, it appeared that Lead club was living up to what it promised. I had been getting new impressions as well as leads for my products. However, none of these leads (I got about 160 leads) actually made a purchase.
In my opinion, Lead club is not all it sounded cracked up to be. I mean honestly it seemed as if it would bring what it advertised, however it did not. Definitely not worth the time, effort, and money I put into it. I rate Lead Club a D-.
gringo1's comment on Affiliateer ...
Great way to earn money on your site
Affiliateer is a great service which I use on my blogs to generate income from them. They offer a wide range of opportunities which can earn you money passively. For example, they offer surveys in which you get paid every time an individual visitor to your web site fills one out. I use the surveys as well as lead generating in order to earn with this service. The many different opportunities that Affiliateer offers is what makes them a top choice in my book for making money off of your personal web space. I rate this service an A- for outstanding service and opportunities.
gringo1's comment on Niche Adsense Themes For Wordpress ...
Great service and benefits
Niche Adsense Themes for Wordpress has helped me make my site more navigable as well as more professional looking. The service you get for your money is excellent. I am no big coder or anything like that, so I found that this is the perfect service for me personally. The new and improved appearance of my website gets me more traffic and also boosted my earnings dramatically. I would recommend that anyone use this service who are not so good with coding and setting up their website the way they want it. For extremely great service, as well as many great benefits, I rate this service an A+.
gringo1's comment on LeadPile ...
Leading service in generating leads
LeadPile is a lead generating service which I use to generate leads for my affiliates that I have with my website. This service allows me to increase sales of products on my site. The ease of this service is awesome in that they are very reliable and seem to be trustworthy as they have delivered to me all that they had claimed. I am, and will continue using LeadPile to promote my products listed on my website because it is a great opportunity to increase profits. I recommend this service for all who are attempting to generate increased profits through products on their personal web space.
gringo1's comment on List Surfing ...
One of the easiest traffic services
List Surfing is a great service which I use to generate more traffic to my website and blogs. How the site works is you surf other people’s sites for points and also have your site surfed as well. However, the points you earn are for email advertisements. You are not required to surf sites in order to get traffic to your site. That is the thing which I enjoy about this service the most. Also, since I started using the service I have found that my visitors per day are increasing often. The only thing that you must do in order to remain on the site list is to surf around 50 pages a month as well as stay active. I found this service extremely useful and feel that anyone who is trying to generate traffic to their site or blog will too.
gringo1's comment on Traffic Era ...
Great for traffic but not much else
Traffic Era is a great opportunity to generate more traffic to your site or blog if that is all you would like to do with it. For me, I only use this site to generate more traffic as I mentioned before. There is not really much else you can do with this traffic exchange service. However, Traffic Era is different from other traffic exchanges in that it has a sleek professional look which is better than your average, boring traffic exchange look. I think this site is great for generating traffic and only that. I recommend this service for people who would like to get more traffic to their site or blog. I rate TE a solid C because of its lack of any other uses.
gringo1's comment on Free SafeList Mailer ...
Great safelist service
Since I began using Free Safelist Mailer about two months ago I have seen dramatic increases in the traffic to my site and blog. I have been using this service as a free member. Although there are different levels of membership, free members can still send out daily email messages promoting whatever they want. These emails are sent to other members of the safelist. Free members however can only send one individual promo email per day. The greatest thing about this service is that you are allowed to send out emails every day. I recommend this service for anyone who is trying to promote products or bring more traffic to their web pages. I rate it a B.
gringo1's comment on EmailBrain ...
Affordable and useful
EmailBrain is an extremely cheap email marketing service which I have been using for about 20 days now. They offer a free trial of 30 days (I have ~10 left). I am actually pleased with the ease of this service and feel it is well worth the money. EmailBrain can be used to increase traffic dramatically as well as market products. I currently use this in conjunction with a few marketing services which works out quite well for me. I look forward to continuing using this service after my trial expires. I will begin purchasing the allowed limit of 2,000 credits for under $10 and hopefully increase profits from my website. I rate EmailBrain a B and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a reliable and cheap promotion service.
gringo1's comment on PayLoadz ...
Easy and effective
I have been a member of Payloadz for a little over a month now. The ease of using this program is amazing. I am able to post items on my web page that are directly connected with the shopping cart at Payloadz. By connecting my web page with Payloadz directly I can earn a little extra money every month from sales that I have generated. My site generally is involved in gaming, so that is the type of product I intend to keep marketing. Great site to begin earning money through marketing. Also, this site is extremely easy to use and there is nothing really to lose. I rate Payloadz a B+ because it has shown me that I can become a marketer through only using my personal website.
gringo1's comment on Blog to Profit ...
Earn money for your blog posts
Blog To Profit can be seen to many as a great way to earn a great deal of money with their blog. I recently have been accepted into the program and have started earning with my personal blog. The way it works is individual advertisers are interested in “sponsoring” your blog. These advertisers will present you with tasks that you must complete within the deadline. I have already made a little money and am very excited to continue my work with this program. The only downside of this program is the time it takes to become accepted (took me around 1 month). After being accepted you are essentially golden. I rate BTP an A+ for its exciting new method of allowing bloggers to earn money.
gringo1's comment on Amazines ...
Great for bloggers and writers!
Amazines is a great way to promote your own personal blog or web pages through submitting articles. Articles at Amazines are published and can contain your bio which allows you to promote your products and/or your blog. I currently have three articles published on Amazines and it has definitely boosted the traffic to my personal blog. Actually, my blog traffic has increased by around 5% since I released my articles. Using Amazines has given me a great opportunity to publish my articles as well as promote my marketing blog. I rate Amazines an A+ because of all the opportunities it presents.
gringo1's comment on AffiliateBot.com ...
Great way to earn more
I have been a member of AffiliateBot for about two weeks now and must say that this service is very exciting. My website does not get too much traffic (under 10,000 views a month) and has already made me almost $20 in sales! I plan on continuing using AffiliateBot with my website and possibly add advertisements to my blog as well. The best part of AffiliateBot is how it works. Publishers and advertisers are brought together and work together so that all may benefit. I recommend AffiliateBot to anyone who enjoys making a little extra money through their web space with sales from advertisers. AffiliateBot.com gets a B in my books, great service!
gringo1's comment on 6 Figure Freelancer ...
Best freelance e-book
6 Figure Freelancer is an e-book which teaches inspiring freelance writers to earn good money online by simply writing. I found this e-book to be extremely useful, unlike other e-books I have tried in the past. For less than $40, I was able to learn many things about freelance writing which were able to compliment the knowledge which I already had. Now, many believe they can learn things without paying for knowledge. However, this e-book shows exactly how to do things as well as where to do them. The creator of 6 Figure Freelancer shows great expertise in the field of work and is extremely informative. I recommend 6 Figure Freelancer for any aspiring freelance writers as it may unlock many doors in freelance writing. I rate it an A+.
gringo1's comment on Blazin Traffic ...
Awesome service
Blazin traffic is a great service that allows you to earn advertising credits to promote your own site, blog, or products. I use this service along with other similar services that are like it to promote my blog and website. Along with other traffic generating sites (exchanges etc. ), I am able to generate around 20,000 impressions on my blog each month. Of course this is an approximation. The more I use Blazin Traffic and earn advertising credits, the more visitors I receive. Blazin Traffic is mainly great because it's free and is extremely easy to use. I give Blazin Traffic a rating of A+ because of its usages and potential to promote products and personal web pages.
gringo1's comment on Farm Traffic ...
Promotes visitors pretty well
Farm traffic is a traffic exchange service which offers free or paid traffic services. While free members get less traffic than those who pay for the service, the traffic generated is still pretty good. I use Farm Traffic’s free service for my website and blogs to promote traffic. This traffic which I have gotten from Farm Traffic and many other traffic sites has allowed me to boost my ad clicks and make a little extra money. I recommend Farm Traffic for people who are simply trying to bring more visitors to their site each day and do not want to spend loads on advertising. For its ease and outstanding services I rate Farm Traffic a B+.
gringo1's comment on LinkBucks ...
Decent opportunity for a few bucks
I've been using LinkBucks on my blog and website for about 2 months now. Its a half decent program compared to other advertising services. Although I have personally only made about $4.25 in the past month, it still is pretty good considering it's really low maintenance. LinkBucks also has a pretty low payout which is good considering you are most likely unable to make loads off of it. If you are a website owner and get a couple thousand visitors a day, then this type of service is ideal for you. Other than that, LinkBucks is a decent way to make a few extra dollars with your blog or website. I rate LinkBucks a B+ due to its potential in earning money effortlessly.
gringo1's comment on Safelist XL ...
Safelist XL is worth it
There are many safe list websites out there which offer the opportunity to promote your own web page while helping others promote their own. I skeptically tried Safelist XL for the first time actually a week ago. I was extremely surprised in the effectiveness of it's service in spreading my word. The mailing “credits” are earned extremely easily and allow you to send out your own messages to a huge numbers of members. This service is so great because of how easy it actually is and also how much attention you can generate to your personal web space or blog. I rate Safelist XL an A+ through personal experience!
gringo1's comment on EasyTypingCash ...
Waste of time and money!
I attempted to use this program and let me tell you it was not worth a penny in my opinion. It proved to not be any help whatsoever and also I was unable to receive a refund. I am still to this day (about a month later) unable to contact the owner of this program and speak about a refund. This program is a scam and is just a cheap scheme for the owner to get money off of exploiting people seeking this type of service. With my personal experience, I can say that your money is well spent elsewhere. Lack of everything from customer satisfaction to refunding ranks this an F- in my books.
gringo1's comment on Army of Followers ...
Little benefits
I decided to use Army of Followers to promote my affiliate ads, my blog, and my personal web page. While it did get me a ton of followers on twitter, it failed to increase my profits significantly. Army of Followers is extremely similar to twitter in that it lives up to its name and basically shows people what you are trying to promote.
Soon after I began using Army of Followers I decided to give it a rest and try other methods of promoting my work. I do not recommend Army of Followers for people trying to promote other than if it is used with other services. Only while being used with other promotion strategies will Army of Traffic ultimately affect your profits as a whole. The lack of a difference this program has made for me is why I have decided to rate it a C-.
gringo1's comment on Widget Bucks ...
Great for earning money with your web space!
I have used Widget Bucks on my web site, as well as my blog, for about a year and a half now. I find that their service is top notch when it comes to affiliations. You are allowed to host a wide variety of advertisements on your personal web space which can potentially be targeted to the type of people you bring to your site. If you are able to get a couple thousand hits on your page a month you could make a decent sprinkle of money with Widget Bucks.
By placing the advertisements on your web space you could potentially earn money from views, clicks, and sales as well. I recommend Widget Bucks to anyone who has their own personal web space and would like to earn a little money with it. Who knows, with a large enough amount of traffic you could actually make a decent amount of money. This is why I rate Widget Bucks a B+ for the excellent opportunity they provide.
gringo1's comment on Text Broker ...
Great way to make quick money for writers
Text Broker is a great way for freelance writers to earn money. I have been a member for about a year now and they have always paid me on the dates expected. Text Broker offers a large list of assignments which are available to each member. The service is great, however you must present a sample of your writing to get accepted into the program. They rate your writing sample and fit you into a category. The more advanced categories or rankings make more money per word.
The main thing about Text Broker is being paid by word. You could write a small essay of about 300 words and be paid one cent per word. Imagine that, a cent for every word you type. I feel that this program is a wonderful opportunity for any enthusiastic freelance writers to try.
I would recommend Text Broker to everyone mainly because you are paid for writing at your own level. There is no real strain to be an amazing writer. The excellent service offered by Text Broker is why I rate it an A+.
gringo1's comment on FastEasyTraffic ...
Possible waste of time
I have been a member of FastEasyTraffic for about six months. I have been using this site in collaboration with many others in order to promote and advertise my website and blog. The service offered by FastEasyTraffic is a waste of time in my opinion. You are required to manually surf web pages in order to earn credits to get your own pages surfed by other members. The part about this manual traffic exchange which makes it so tedious is that the ratio is low. The low ratio means you will be surfing more sites than the views you receive. I personally surfed approximately one to two thousand member sites and received a fraction of that in visits to my own pages.
EasyTrafficExchange offers a pretty decent referral program. The referral program allows you to earn credits towards promotion as long as you refer new members to the site. Being the only real advantage to using this site, the referral program isn't so bad.
I do not recommend many to use this service to promote their own pages unless they have a lot of spare time and are using it in collaboration with other similar traffic generating services. I rate FET a C-.
gringo1's comment on CBClickBank ...
Only good for large operations
CB is a great program, don't get me wrong. However, their customer service isn't so great. Their referral program is actually quite nice in that you are able to earn money for referring paying customers to try their products. With CB you are also able to promote your own products and services, but the downside is you have to purchase an advertising package. For some people CB is an extremely great opportunity. Others however feel that CB is not such a good program and they could easily find other services which will promote for free as well as offer rewards for referrals. In my personal experience I have found that unless you have a bit of money to spend and are collaborating this service with others, move on and don't waste your time. Acknowledging the fact that their customer service isn't great, their advertising is matched by many, and their referral program is a sort of "spend money to make money" deal, I rate CB a D+.
gringo1's comment on Active Safelist ...
Great Service
Active Safelist is a great service which is used to promote websites, web pages, blogs, or even products. I have been a member of this program for about 6 months, and I can say that I have found it to be of great use with promoting my blog as well as web site. By using this service I was able to quadruple the traffic coming to my blog which allowed me to earn significantly more with my affiliations. You are able to customize an email which will be sent to thousands of other members. In these emails you are able to promote your sites and blogs and inform people of what you are offering (information, products, services, etc.). The only bad part of Active Safelist would be the amount of emails you personally receive. However, these emails could benefit you if you find the information in them from other members to be helpful in your aspirations or goals. I recommend Active Safelist for anyone trying to promote on the net!
