Millionaire Society – Get Paid For Life! HA!

Millionaire Society – Get Paid For Life!

If you want to spend a lot of money!

I have been looking for good traffic sources and this ad promised that it took only minutes to set up, was quality traffic and I could get as much as I wanted. He went on to repeat many marketing cliches, such as “traffic is everything”. and “I hate the gurus who…” .

Matt’s video was compelling so I thought I’d give it a shot. It was a Clickbank product so I knew the risk was minimal.   After enduring the painful upsells, I got to my desired product.  What I found out during the order process was that Matt was actually selling membership to his website, where he would regularly provide you with access to his videos and new “secrets”.

Let me save you the time.. His secret method, that you can only learn by buying his program is… wait for it……..   BUY TRAFFIC at http://adf.ly

Really. That’s pretty much it and enough for me to cancel my monthly subscription and get my money back. I feel like I only wasted an hour reviewing his materials – and I vented my anger by writing this review…

On a positive note.. There weren’t a lot of misspellings in his material!

Ubot Studio

Posted on February 7, 2012 by

Ubot Studio

If you’ve been reading for a while, you will already be aware of the fact that I like to automate as much of my work as possible.  I have used several tools in the past and have just added another to my arsenal.

Ubot Studio is pretty cool.  It is powerful and not incredibly difficult. I have used it to fill out forms on websites and create accounts on gmail, yahoo and a few other sites.

Combined with task scheduler, a lot of things are now happening on my computer without any interference on my part.  For example, first thing in the moring, my computer downloads leads from my website, puts them into a database then adds them to my list manager where an introductory letter is sent out… All before I get my coffee!

Pretty cool. I sometimes had trouble selecting key elements in forms as I’m sure the code is created to make automation as difficult as possible. But with a little perseverence, I have gotten everything to work that I’ve attempted to date.

Let me know what you think of this tool!  The uses are limitless and I admit that so far I’ve picked pretty simple tasks.

WP Syndicator

WP Syndicator

WP Syndicator – I admit.. I don’t remember where I found this piece of software and I don’t have a link for you, but if you want it, I’m sure you can find it…

And I like this one.  Once it’s fully set up, it will push your blog post to several other blog sites that you own. Of course, it’s only useful if you actually want to maintain 10+ blogs.   From a link building point of view, it can’t hurt to have more links to my main blog, right.

It took me about an hour to set this up beause I had to create new accounts on various blog sites, such as blogger.com.  Once set up you can automatically have your posts pushed to your other sites, with the appropriate and useful link back to your original post.

That’s the short version… Just found a good source for this… If you like the idea, drop me an email at me at troysgamespot dot com and I’ll show you how to get it for 5 bucks.

Coffee Shop Millionaire

Posted on December 3, 2011 by

Who wouldn’t want to make a fabulous income while traveling around and working here and there at coffee shops? Even if this isn’t appealing to you, doing the same thing at home has to sound good too, right?

Well it did for me!

Personally, I liked the idea but realize I couldn’t be traveling around too much with a 10 year old son at home. But.. figured it’s worth trying!

Admittedly, the Coffee Shop Millionaire advertising is kind of cliche. Fabulous clickbank screenshots, ending soon, bonuses to keep, super discount from $4997 that it’s worth. By now, you probably are as annoyed as me when it comes to this baloney. But.. It seemed like it wasn’t going to take a lot of time to test. And it did come with the 60-day iron-clad money back guarantee. Let’s go.

Oh.. no. The upsell parade begins.. I did the first one. 10 cash-sucking campagins for just $147. Hey, he has an “auditorium sized room full of success stories”. This was followed up by a personal tutoring offer for $197. And.. just looked – the original $37 charge is a monthly charge, which was never mentioned. This is not looking good. Followed by hosting plan that you have to buy.

Thirty minutes into a program advertised to take only a few minutes to be up and running and I realized this is the worst of internet marketing all gathered in one package. I’m sure Mrs. Trister would embarrassed by what her son Anthony is doing here.

Please avoid this crap.

** In an attempt to be totally fair.. I have spent considerable time on their website and it’s changed my opinion somewhat… If you’re a newbie, and you’re willing to put in a lot of time, then this might be useful for you. They do lay out a workable blue print for building a business but.. It’s nothing remarkable except a clear path to a lot of hard work that should be successful if you maintain the course. Don’t get the idea you’ll be up and running in 30 minutes as advertised! It’s a long slow process but seems fundamentally sound.

Eden Biodome Revolution

Eden Biodome Revolution

Friday…   This one was a reader suggestion… We added this to our shoping list and downloaded the 100 page book in minutes. Of course, it’s backed with the usual sixty day money back guarantee… But. We’ll take a look and let you know…

Day Two… I read through the 100 pages. Kacper correctly admitted that this wasn’t a polished work. He didn’t take the time to make it perfect.. I am okay with that. A few misspellings and typos certainly don’t interfere with his ideas.

THe book itself is filled with Kacper’s philosophies and outlook. I admit that I am truly cut from the same cloth and agree with his frustration and aggravation with the way things are being run and where things are headed.. Though it was seemed out of place, or at least unnecessary for a book about a biodome. If I bought the book, I already see the need!

I thought the book was interesting but incomplete. I’m not convinced I could build the dome structure based on only this manual. Furthermore the book was only about the basic structure and didn’t include info on the doors, windows or setting up the inside.

Kacper seems like a passionate guy and I watched his live webinar last night. I feel like I know him a bit. I really regretted asking for my money back but I felt that I couldn’t build the biodome using only this manual….

PaidAdsFree.com Skip This and Save $600 Dollars

Posted on October 6, 2011 by

Signed up for this one yesterday. At 49.95 per month it is certainly not cheap but the idea of getting unlimited ads free was appealing.  There were some exciting words in the video, with incredible screen shots of clicbank account totals.

I did it….  Mostly because I felt that I had lots of good ideas to promote and a system of getting things out there free is exactly what I needed.

Video advertisement was polished. Wearing a couple different Ralph Lauren polo shirts, the actor in the video was compelling and the well edited video was appealing. Unfortunately after I bought the product I had to go through several painful levels of upsells, which basically dissed my initial purchase as being inadequate.  The only way to truly make this system work was to buy these various upsells.. Which were expensive!!

First real problem was that I never received the confirmation email and the vendor uses CCBill for it’s credit card processing.   This factor made cancellation, which was totally necessary, a pain in the butt.  I did finally manage to get it cancelled but it required a ten minute wait on hold and then another ten minutes with the customer service representative..  I think that’s way too long.

My conclusion is that this program is a total waste of time.. I don’t believe the screen shots, the claims or the actor,   After another day of research, I got  into the program and my initial impressions were confirmed.

Here’s their big secret:  REVENUE SHARING.  Seriously, their top secret plan that costs almost 50 bucks per month is find keywords, search Google, Yahoo and Bing with their scraping tool to find targeted websites and then send the sites with substantial traffic a form letter offering a revenue share split for your targeted ad.

After listening carefully, it seems as if the guy doing the video, “Mike”, hasn’t actually done this, it’s just what he thinks will happen if you send this form letter to enough sites.  He swears you’ll be suprised by how many phone calls you get!

Avoid this program at all costs!!  You now know the plan and you saved six hundered dollars over the next year…

Want Your Own Game Website? Free?

Posted on September 12, 2011 by

I liked the idea of having my own website of games people could play for free. Particularly, I was interested in:

  • How to install he gaming platform.
  • How to search engine optimize your site.
  • How to monetize your site.
  • How to feed games to your site by clicking two
    links.

The advertising said you could build this site in about an hour.. Let’s do it!

The delivery went smoothly. This system works with your WordPress installation, which I already had installed so I skipped over that part and went to the SEO optimization widgets and game delivery plugin.

Installation was easy.. I signed up for the delivery of the video games, registered a domain name and set up the hosting.. I spent about 10 dollars for the domain name and quickly had games being uploaded to my new site.

Really pretty cool.  Check out the instructional videos, which are very well done and seem to handle all the little details necessary to get you up and running quickly.     Get your site.

If you want to see the site I made… click here.

Avoid Universalbot

Posted on August 8, 2011 by

It didn’t take long to realize this product is a waste of time.   The videos were full of all that same stuff that we’ve learned to hate.

Universalbot was supposed to automate many current web marketing tasks. I’m not even going to list them because the program was such an obvious waste.

The only thing they successfully automated was the billing to my card. It was advertised as a one-time charge but instead they charged my card four times in about two weeks!

Avoid these folks at all costs!
