hpboom's comment on 365 Ad Solutions ...
Not bad at all for a CPA network
I decided to try out this service a couple weeks ago and become an affiliate, because it promises to be "free" and "risk-free". I was set up with some mobile phone offers for the United States, and I must say that I'm quite pleased with this CPA network. They are seemingly the real deal. I have made quite a bit so far, and I can only hope that along with some added traffic that I can increase these earnings. Not to mention that you are kindly alerted every time a new offer is available via twitter, and all you have to do is sign in to grab it. Their support is amazing, and quicker than any that I've seen. I've been treated fairly, and am overall pleased with my experience thus far.
hpboom's comment on Richest Mails ...
Kids, don't try this at home
Or anywhere for that matter. This website is 100 percent fake. The 500 dollar sign up bonus sounds nice and cozy, but once you actually get that and receive tons of spam(if you do try this out, I really suggest creating a spam email, and only checking it every now and again)to which you read and gain thousands of points, you will never get a payout. I have waited three months (I had a free acct. And I WILL NOT upgrade) and there was no payment. Not to mention but the emails may contain spyware and adware to which will ruin your free of pop up surfing experience. You'll be bombarded, if you aren't careful. I wouldn't recommend this scam to anyone.
hpboom's comment on Shop Until You Drop ...
Worth the time and money
I tried this out, after my friend suggested it to me. You sign up, create a profile and pick what kind of assignments you’d wish to achieve. Myself, I love dining out, and if I could get the opportunity to do so for free- then I will grab any chance I get. I have been on the site for several weeks now, and have only gotten three or four assignments, and only done one of them. I went out for drinks with my girlfriends and I would have to say that I am quite pleased that I was paid back the full amount, plus around $10 extra for profit. I will continue to do this, and hopefully I will continue to get more assignments. However, the downside to this- is that you do have to pay for a membership fee. It is not completely free, but to me, it seems to be well worth it if you continue to do the assignments in which you are given. I recommend to anyone needing a few extra dollars to go out, eat, shop, and do the things we all love to do.
hpboom's comment on Survey Club ...
If you want to make a few extra bucks
If you want to gain a few extra bucks, then I suggest going towards GPT(Get Paid To... ) sites. Only spending a few hours a day for a week can earn you an easy 50 extra dollars, and survey club is a great website to join in order to accomplish it.
As soon as you sign up, you are opted to take part in other affiliate survey companies, based upon your demographic. I signed up for every one of them, my favorite being "send earnings". Once you complete that step, you are able to navigate the Survey Club site, which will allow you to take part in several surveys which criteria meet your demographic.
These surveys, in most cases, need a slight investment in order to profit. Being an internet marketer, I will occasionally do this, because without doing so, you will not gain a large profit. (You need money to make money, right?)
However, if you do wish to go the COMPLETELY free route, this site also offers a "freebies" section, so that you can sign up on their affiliate sites, in order to complete free surveys, questionnaires, and offers and gain a slight profit. (10 cents - a few dollars for every one)
Overall this isn't for someone looking for a full-time internet job, but it would be great for a high school student or a college student looking to make a few extra bucks.
hpboom's comment on Lead Evolution ...
Up-To-Par Leads
I hadn’t seen many reviews regarding this software so I thought I would try it out in order to increase my marketing leads. If what you’re looking for are some high quality leads that are actually interested in your product, then I would highly recommend this product. With it’s easy to use system, you can get leads in no time by just putting in your keywords, and though it is up to you to make the final sale -it helps in more ways than one. I was able to set a criteria for the audience in which I wanted to reach (ie, location-wise) which helped tremendously. I didn’t profit a GREAT deal, but I did profit, and it was well worth my time. In only two months, I upped my leads by 2 percent. This is a highly recommended product.
hpboom's comment on Adam Holland ...
Over hyped- General
Don’t get me wrong, Adam Holland is a bit of an internet marketing guru, and the free training course is quite helpful to anyone new to the game. However, if you look at most of these free tips, they’re things you can find on almost any internet marketing forum with a little bit of time and patience. It’s great material, to someone who hasn’t done their research. Now, don’t get me wrong again- I’m sure if you spend enough money, you can find several tips of his that would be worth your while, but I’m sure a majority of business entrepreneurs such as myself, are not risky enough to pay thousands for something that may or may not work. However, the time is worth the investment to get a free week of training. You'll gain valuable insight to help you further your journey. I know it helped me a bit, but I honestly don’t believe I would ever pay a large sum of money for this material. It’s a waste of not only money- but time. Do your research. I did, and I’m making more than I would on just using these tips.
hpboom's comment on 1WayLinks ...
Great service
Owning my own online business, and holding my own blog in order to promote my business (as well as give prompt feedback on other businesses) was quite a headache. 1WayLinks allowed me to promote my blog by using backlinks, thus promoting my business without much effort at all. The investment was well worth it(less than ten dollars the first month, and less than fifty every month thereafter), as it boosted the traffic to my blog by 12 percent and in return boosted my website business 9.3 percent. I was utterly surprised with the amount of lead overs I received from my blog, just by using this service. My sales went up a whopping 7 percent in only two months, meaning that I profited about 230 dollars. I am quite happy with this investment, and I would recommend it to anyone who has ever had a pull their hair out moment when regarding backlinks and promoting.
I have not needed the support team, so I cannot comment on them- but overall this is definitely A + material for me.
hpboom's comment on Lazy Profit Formula ...
Nothing I couldn’t have found on the internet for free…
Having known very little about PPC affiliate programs, and nothing of Click Bank, I thought I would do some research. My boss told me that it was a great way to make extra money, but having known nothing about it, I was quite intrigued to learn more. After researching, I found The Lazy Profit Formula amongst a large section of reviews on a forum. I decided to have a look at ImReportCard to see how it ranked, and I saw a few good reviews, and thought I would try my luck, as it was cheap, and had “LAZY” in the title. Where can you go wrong? If I can make even a small profit by doing little work, then I’m all for it.. and that is where I made my mistake. If there is a such thing as easy money, then this isn’t the key that unlocks it. Don’t get me wrong, I made a little bit off of it, but the profit was measly and not even a child would boast for the few bucks it gave way. Not to mention, the support is only a level above terrible. Great for beginners that do not do their research. However if you have been around forums like I have, I wouldn’t waste my money. The ebook is well written and the work is easy to set up, but it honestly isn’t worth the time or the patience.
hpboom's comment on 10 Minute Opt-In Success ...
Pretty Darn Good
I needed to build up my lists and had tried several tips and tricks to do so. None of them worked as brilliantly as this one did. This product allows you to find the people that need what you are selling, and then how to hook them in and keep them by incorporating a small tutorial on auto-responding follow ups. I was quite surprised on how great my profit was after this. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, as you will more than make your money back. Great investment.
hpboom's comment on $365K Blog Traffic Formula ...
Meh - I Expected More
I got this e-book after several reviews hyped it towards an audience of which I consisted of. I wanted traffic and this seemed to be better than expected, as many "judged a book by it's cover" only to find that it was in fact amazing.
However, after purchasing this, I came to find that these reviews were rather short viewed. They forgot to mention that the reason it looked like so many e-books for enhancing traffic was because it was just like so many e-books enhancing traffic.
It worked, but I'm not going to state that a miraculous forthcoming of traffic made me thousands of dollars; because it didn't. In this case, it's a pretty good price, and you get what you pay for. You make a bit off of it from profit; and in the end that was all I cared about.
I made about 100 dollars extra, and to be honest, I believe it was worth it to profit that. It was easy to follow, and you definitely don't get ripped off. You will make your money back. However, don't expect to make thousands off of this formula; you'll be sorely mistaken and disappointed.
I give this a B for helpfulness, easiness, cheapness (the reason it's not an A? Blame the hype).
hpboom's comment on Automated Cash Formula ...
Such a SCAM
I don't know what these so called people making these so called earnings are on about. It seems as though they are exaggerated, or just REALLY lucky. It is almost impossible to make money with this.
I purchased this product about three or four months ago, with the hopes that I could set up an automated income, to bring in a few extra bucks a week. That doesn't seem like too much to expect does it? Yeah, well using this product- it is. Ah, two tier affiliate programs, for the win eh?
Basically this required me to make a multitude of sub-affiliates. Sounds easy enough to an internet marketer correct? No.
A small percentages of marketers make a large percent of the income, and that being said- for this formula to work it's magic, as it has been so claimed to do so many times- you must snag a recruitment with one of these big fish. Do you know how many people are after these guys? For those of you with a good sales pitch, may be able to snag one- and be one of the lucky few, but many of us average internet marketers, could not even dream to do something like this.
Not to mention, I believe even the creator himself lied BALDLY about his earnings. Scam. Stay away. Starting a product off with a lie, is a good indication that the rest is worth a hill of beans.
hpboom's comment on Lazy Cash Formula ...
Couldn't see a change
This formula truly is "lazy" as I saw no increase in my income. This was ridiculous. It may work for beginners, whom do not do their research, but it will probably only give you a mild increase in money. I bought this product about a month ago, and I regret having ever wasted my time.
I bought it because of all the reviews I saw were praising it. I, however, will not praise this load of crap. Using Google Adwords was a terrible experience to me; not difficult, just terrible. The impressions and clicks stopped completely after a while, and it caused me to be quite crestfallen. I made 13.45 USD, which is NOT in profit.
The only good thing I found about this product was that the video tutorials were easy to follow and seemingly well made... However, it was not worth my money, time and efforts.
I am not one to bash methods, but the videos are filled with small minded methods, that any teenager could find on a forum. It is not for serious internet marketers who know what they are doing. Buyers beware.
hpboom's comment on List Building Toolbox ...
Already seeing results
I started this about a week ago, and let me tell you- I am already seeing changes in my email list opt-ins. The strategies Mize gives makes me extraordinarily happy to say that I haven't heard of all of his tactics. I buy several internet marketing tactics just to see if they're up to par, and I'm always looking for that off chance that someone somewhere may have something that I haven't seen before. This toolbox is just the thing I was hoping for. You learn how to appeal to your audience so that your email list grows; and not only that, but continue steadily growing which might possibly generate an overall increase in sales. Already am I making nearly a hundred dollars extra. I cannot wait to see how my lists progress, as well as my earnings.
This is completely recommended to anyone who owns their own internet business.
hpboom's comment on Secrets of Creating Wealth ...
Psychologist disguised as an internet marketer
I actually lost money with this. It was costly and held no reward. I got this because I saw a slight downfall in my marketing statistics - I thought these "secrets" might be a way to bring me back up, and maybe allow myself to gain more than I had originally had. However, I was completely disappointed when I found that most of the secrets were rubbish. I'm not interested in a psychologist or a therapeutic outlook on my career; I'm looking for cost-effective secrets for which will employ me to gain money. I am looking for something to make my numbers increase.
I liked that the guide was on a more personal level, but I did not like that it aimed to motivate more so than to give you surefire tactics. I have seen much better guides, and I assure you if you're looking for tactics to internet marketing, do not buy this guide. If you are looking for a fluff piece to motivate you into making money, then by all means. However the cost is nowhere near the reward.
I give this an F.
hpboom's comment on 50 Kick Ass Keyword Strategies ...
Did I just get more traffic? Yes, I do believe I did
I've used products before that boosted views and traffic by changing small keywords, however this is UH-MAY-ZING!
The "50 Kick Ass Keyword Strategies" truly are KICK ASS and they work so well. I did this for my online blog, which holds a lot of my affiliate advertising links. I received 200+ more views per day, plus more hits on the affiliate links I had posted. Made quite a bit more money in a day's time and I am COMPLETELY happy. I would recommend this to a beginner or an advanced user. There is always room for improvement.
hpboom's comment on 3D Photoshop Actions ...
A Software Worth the Investment
I have paid two professional designers to do my last statistic statements for my website, and each charged over 500 dollars for the cover art alone.
These statements were not your average statements either; they were merely BROCHURE size, and for a design to cost that much I found LUDICROUS. It was insanely expensive, but these so-called professionals claimed that it took an extensive measure of work and patience in order to make my logo into a 3 dimensional format that would be appealing to my affiliates.
However, when I first came across this software, my eyes widened. One look at the reviews that were surfacing told me that this was surely worth a try. Could I have finally found a cure for my problems?
The answer is absolutely YES. For what I needed to do, this was perfect. I didn't need anything too extravagant, and for my budget this was absolutely mind blowing. If I can use this software, with barely any photoshop experience, then anyone can. It's great for beginners, in my opinion, and well worth the investment.
hpboom's comment on Launch Sniper Method ...
GREAT for beginners
The step-by-step tutorials give a user-friendly feel and help shape a website and bring traffic forth in a great and easy manner. I, myself, having done this for years even found it to be somewhat helpful. I noticed a 12 percent increase in traffic flow after using this method, and I must say I was surprised. For beginners starting out, you will most likely double, or even TRIPLE your traffic- and make yourself quite a profit. It is definitely worth it, user friendly and overall just a great buy. I give it an A for effort and quality.
hpboom's comment on Megagoods, Inc. ...
Buyer/Seller BEWARE
I don't have much to say other than this was NOT wholesale, NOT consumer safe, and NOT marketable to any measure. I made no money off this site, in fact I LOST money. I sold something and only made three dollars off of it, bought something which NEVER came, and it seems to me the only repercussions that follow for SCAM ARTISTS is a slight ban! Ebay, Craigslist and Amazon are the only reputable sites on the web. Use those, and those alone. NEVER trust Megagoods. Too good to be true? Most definitely.
hpboom's comment on 30 Day Takeover ...
Not Bad For A Beginner
I like to try new internet marketing tactics, to see if there are any new-upbeat and innovative methods on the rage that I may be missing. However, this promises results in thirty days; so where could you go wrong? For under 30 dollars, it sounds like a major deal, does it not?
Well... depends on who you are and how long you've been in this business.
The video tutorials are thorough and you learn how to make your product/website more appealing to consumers, however the methods used are nothing short of mediocre. The traffic that comes to your site, depends on if you've used these methods before; and having owned my own internet business for years- I have become familiar with most of the easy-going tactics on the web. Therefore, I received hardly NO new traffic, and basically wasted 30 dollars.
HOWEVER, it was quite an experience to be able to see what other people thought of the strategies I, myself, have already been using for quite some time. I won't say that I didn't receive any knowledge from "30 day take over" because that would be an outright lie. I did find some useful information on how to give a better sales pitch to my products and site overall, however it was only worth maybe a few bucks here and there ultimately.
This is a great product for a beginning web marketer. You will see results quickly, however; before you buy- you may want to consider "google" for which you will find more information at a cheaper price. I rate this product a C, as it is very good for beginners, however it is merely mediocre and not worth your time if you've been in this business for a while.
hpboom's comment on Ad Toll ...
Good for pocket change
Being a website owner, Adtoll didn't raise my income at all. It reminded me of cheap GPT sites that kids start up to gain some extra change. Maybe, I got an extra 10 bucks a week, but really is it worth it? No. it's a good idea, and if you're really good at getting traffic that is interested in ads, it could help a bit, but I just find it too much hassle for the reward. HOWEVER, I will say that the support is amazing. I received nothing but kind and helpful tones from them, and I would love to do business with them just for that sole fact.
hpboom's comment on Make Real Money on The Internet ...
Paid for the trial
I paid for the trial. It was worth the mere dollar, however, I felt the hype of it was more than it was worth. I know more than anyone that the TV seems to embellish things, and simple known tactics are acted as though they're God, but this was a bit ridiculous. It's not bad, don't get me wrong, but the continuous videos just to get you started is horrifically boring, and doesn't grab your attention in the least. You basically have to sift through useless material to find something that could actually work for you, and it just wasn't worth my time. If you have the time, and you're a beginner at internet marketing- then I would definitely recommend, but if you own your own business and already have several skills- this is a certain no to check off of your list.
hpboom's comment on Aaron Wall ...
Superman? Aaron The Amazing-Man is MY Hero
Aaron Wall is a genius. SEOBook.com is simply amazing. Finally an internet marketing strategy that doesn't just spill "secrets to get you rich" but instead gives you real and VALUABLE training. It allows you to understand what you've done wrong in the marketing world, by something as small as keyword use. It provides you with the tools you need to excel in internet marketing, and website developing by making you NOTICED.
The website includes tutorial videos, that walk you through in an exceptional manner - to which you can actually comprehend. Also, as a bonus, to which I was surprised- the forum on the site includes people whom actually take care of the additional work. They save you time by providing program names that could help you in your venture to success, so that you don't have to waste the time you could be developing, searching endlessly for hours.
The man gets you noticed, and if you need to consult with him(which I think I may) he is available for you at a small price. Coincidentally consulting with him for that small price, could bring you THOUSANDS on top of his genius methods in which will have already been provided.
hpboom's comment on Chris Farrell Membership ...
My Jaw Dropped
When I first heard of Chris Farrell, I thought; "Will Farrell's brother?" but no- this guy is a marketing GENIUS.
I own my own advertising business, and I needed all the help I could get with understanding internet marketing. That is what lead me to discover Chris Farrell's Membership. His marketing skills and knowledge astounds me, and I raised my income about $200 a week, by barely doing any work at all. It was remarkable. Now, these number crunching statistics aren't the only thing you get when you start this membership..
You also gain the companionship of a man with high morality and kindness. You get an almost- small town vibe - when you join this membership that allows you to make the money, but also gain support from someone who seems to truly care.
If you want to invest a bit of time; I suggest this for you. It's one of the best decision I ever made for myself.
hpboom's comment on Lynx Tracker ...
I'm actually impressed
I own my own website, and have been using advertisements and email notifications to gain customers every day. It was after a while, however, that I noticed my numbers were decreasing, and I wasn't exactly sure why. Upon hearing of Lynx Tracker I was quite skeptical. However, after much debate, I took the plunge and delved into the money that I was losing.
Lynx tracker actually did blow my mind. It allowed me to gain the knowledge that I was missing, the very notion of where I was losing my money, and where my subscribers were trafficked and why.. I was able to track down what I was doing wrong, eliminate it, and make on average $400 dollars more a month. That may not be a lot to some, but knowing that I would have lost more than 4800 dollars a year is frightening. I would definitely recommend it.
