Copy Paste Systems – Poor Support

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Copy Paste Systems featuring Paul Ponna as the "Reassuring Voice"

I've been trying out the Copy Paste System during the refund period and I've made a few discoveries.

The OTO Gauntlet – Many Times

First, the whole system is designed to sell you OTOs so when you buy in to get Copy Paste Systems, you get to run the one-time-offer gauntlet that could cost you a couple of hundred bucks if you bought it all.

But don't worry – if you pass them up the first time through, you will get emails constantly reminding you that you can still get them. Maybe they should be called MTOs – many time offers.

Support is Poor

The second thing I discovered is that you shouldn't count on quality support, especially if you are a newbie and need more than a 1-sentence reply to a question. I was working my way through the "Famous Automatic Cash Machine" – how secret could that be if it's Famous, but I digress – part of the Copy Paste website when I had some questions I wanted help with.

I sent an email with my question to support@copypastesystems.com on January 22, 2010. Then on January 25, I sent another email adding a different question. The first answer came back on January 31, that's about 9 days late, consisted of 6 words, and ignored my second question totally.

On February 2, I got another support email answering part of my second question with a nearly unintelligible reply. Soldiering on I've sent another email to support asking if they could please send me an answer I can understand and please answer the entire question.

Good Luck with That

So if you want to give the Copy Paste Systems a try, let me know how that worked. Maybe you will have better luck with support than has been my experience thus far.

Have fun,
Ed

Warning: Zero to $500 a month – Guaranteed! is a Scam

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Warning

I am updating this post with this warning in hopes you will not be taken in as I was. Please ignore everything below !!! I’ve inactivated the link so it can’t be used from this post.

 

You can also see my posted update from May 7.

===================================================

Eric Graham Guarantees Ed Will Make $500 a month!

Can Eric Graham really teach Ed how to make $500 a month in 90 days or less? Nobody has ever been able to teach Ed how to make money online so Eric has quite a challenge ahead of him. Eric guarantees to refund 100% of Ed’s $297 investment if Ed is displeased with Eric’s ZeroTo500 course for any reason.

But Wait There’s More …

Eric further guarantees to refund 200% (!) of Ed’s investment if Ed follows his instructions and does his homework lessons and still isn’t making at least $500 a month after 90 days. I think I got that second guarantee right, but you could check it with Eric.

With Guarantees Like That – Ed Can’t Lose, Right?

Even though Ed is a master at losing in can’t-lose situations, isn’t it worth a try? You betcha! So Ed is off on another internet marketing adventure, but now he has Eric Graham, the Conversion Doctor, as a mentor. You can’t beat that.

Stay tuned

Ed will post once a week or so (if he can overcome his tendency toward procrastination) to let you know how he’s doing on the road from ZeroTo500.

 

 For a very limited time and FREE (do it now!), ZeroTo500 Webinar.

 

Earnings Disclaimer

Don’t you wonder how guarantees of earnings can be made in sales letters and webinars on a routine basis while the earnings disclaimers, the legal part, always say there are no guarantees? I do too. Best I can tell the actual guarantee isn’t really that you will make x amount of money, but that you are guaranteed the opportunity to ask for a refund.

The earnings disclaimer for ZeroTo500 says this, " … MANY FACTORS WILL BE IMPORTANT IN DETERMINING YOUR ACTUAL RESULTS AND NO GUARANTEES ARE MADE THAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE RESULTS SIMILAR TO OURS OR ANYBODY ELSES, IN FACT NO GUARANTEES ARE MADE THAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE ANY RESULTS FROM OUR IDEAS AND TECHNIQUES IN OUR MATERIAL."

Evaluating Affiliate Silver Bullet

Friday, September 5th, 2008

 

    IMPORTANT UPDATE !!!    

Not Recommended

 

 

- Affiliate Silver Bullet Evaluation in Progress -

I’m evaluating the Affiliate Silver Bullet product from Dustin Struckman. Do not buy it based on my recommendation because I am in the process of reviewing it and have not reached a conclusion about its value yet. I have signed up to the affiliate program as part of my evaluation procedure so if you click any of the links below, my affiliate number will be associated with your click. 

 

10 Silver Bullets for $37

The good news – I didn’t break the bank on this one (applause).

What’s a Silver Bullet?

It’s basically a preconfigured website promoting a ClickBank product. You get all the files you need for your website including a "video squeeze page" to build your optin list, 2-page mini-site providing your prospects with free information, 5 email lessons, and the links you need to get paid when someone buys the product.

Of course, you need to have or set up a ClickBank account and that is where the money accumulates.

Example Blog Post

Your part of the deal is that you have to promote the preconfigured products you uploaded to your website(s), ASB provided the sample blog post that follows.

"One of the easiest and fastest way to make money online in through affiliate marketing. This is when you send visitors to someone else’s product sales page, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you get a percentage of the sale price as you commission (usually 50% or more for digital products).

The benefits of this are

  1. You can get started almost immediately because you don’t have to create a product, write the sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or set up the ordering, billing & delivery system.

  2. You have almost no investment of time because you don’t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues.

  3. You have nearly zero risk because you already know the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.

Looking at these benefits, it’s clear that affiliate marketing is the way to go! (more…)
