Hello first of all great post and I am glad you made it. You obviously put a lot of time and thought into this and for that I want to say thanks. Positive or negative I value all of your input. I am only 30 days into this and originally wrote every line of code/graphics and everything 100% myself. Its constantly going to be improving and again I appreciate your input.
I guess this is "bolded" for a reason. He doesn't take money from you, but from the referral commissions he get from the companies lol
As it is this minute this is 100% correct. The model is to get people making money online as fast as possible without them having to buy a training product. This program was designed for newbies getting started and the tasks that I pay you to do revolve around that. Do I get a commission if people sign up for hosting.. yes. But they didn't waste money on a product they never used they actually have something of value and by the end if you do the math lets say you signed up for 1 year of hosting which is like $60. Far less than what any of my info products have ever sold for. But I pay you for the tasks if you actually do the work.
So in the end you actually have a website, great theme, social integration, mobile friendly, facebook page, email marketing, funnels etc etc everything in place. LIKE YOU ACTUALLY DID IT.
And I even give you a budget to spend on facebook to promote your first thing.
Well I could go on and on.. But the point is people are actually making things of value. Not just buying another info product and doing nothing.
I think it's fairly misleading the way it's being advertised. Yes you don't have to give him any money, but bottom line is you need to spend quite a bit of money to actually do anything.
The way its being advertised is that you make your first dollar online in under 5 minutes. Currently that number is 4 minutes and 23 seconds from the time someone is setup to the time they are paid. I don't understand how that is misleading. If you want to take your free dollar and run so be it.
I personally was interested in this, but as soon as I read from the comments on the forum that you have to spend money it put me of. Don't get me wrong thankfully I have the financial ability to throw around at least few hundred bucks, but I don't like that it's not being said straight from the beginning. How can I trust something that isn't transparent. Who knows what the steps ahead on the road are... for all I know you would need to spend a good thousand bucks before you start earning something and for some people that isn't possible. When newbies get to that point what would they be left with? - An expensive hosting and depression for wasting their money.
Well. How about I give you a free account and you go through the process and you tell me if you think its not worth a complete newbies time?
Also not being able to remove your PayPal is kinda unpleasant... While I was sharing the facebook thingy I read as I've said that it requires a lot more than it advertises and I deleted the post and didn't finish the step thus I didn't take the dollar(I'm saying this for the people that will start bashing me for taking that precious $1 lol). After that I wanted to remove my PayPal info from there, but it wasn't possible.
Also why aren't passwords not encrypted?
I completely agree and even though we are at almost 30,000 users this is the first time anyone has brought that to our attention. We originally had it in there but then people would keep making new accounts using the same paypal and ... well.. other reasons why. I am thinking a solution would be to delete it but keep a md5sum of the email so people don't make duplicates just to game the system.
Either way I wish good luck to those that try this method, but to be honest I'd invest my money(buy hosting) somewhere else rather than trust something that have, so many "if's and why's".
I totally agree and one of the items at the top of my list is to make a track for those that already have web hosting.
Just one thing please keep in mind and this is my issue to figure out more than your's. With all the users coming in I have 3 full time support people right now. They don't work for free =). I am not some fly by night guy that doesn't answer support questions or am difficult to find. So I just have to find a way that its a win/win. Part of that comes from finding ways to support the program. its not a profitable thing for me.... or even close right now but I believe in the concept of this and I will continue to find a way to make it work for everyone.
