Get Response Power Leads?

jimmytron · 07-26-2009, 09:06 PM

Hello fellow warriors, I was wondering if anyone has tried the get response power lead program? If so i have a few questions.
First off are these really targeted leads towards my specific keywords, or is this a rip off scheme?
How do they go about generating these leads for me?

Thank you warriors!

Hey Jimmytron!
I am in the middle of my first purchase of Power Leads with GetResponse so I can offer my initial impressions to you. I purchased a package of 200 leads to be delivered to my GetResponse campaign for the Plug-In Profit Site about 2 months ago and so far they have delivered over 100 customers to my list. Of the 103 I have, 98 are still actively receiving my emails with 5 opting out which is not bad after 6 weeks. I have been able to see through tracking software that a decent number of the leads have shown interest in some areas of the my website so these are leads that are interested in developing some kind of online business I would say.
In my opinion this is NOT a ripoff scheme at all. There are no guarantees with anything you offer of course, but the GetResponse Power Leads program has indeed delivered responsive, interested people to my particular offer. I don't want to mislead you so I can't accurately answer how they go about collecting their leads, but I do know that when you submit an order, you do get to write a simple ad with a short title and description. If your ad is well written it will get highly-targeted responses.
I hope this helps you out in making a decision. I wish you the best of luck in what ever you end up doing!

No other reviews here? A 2nd opinion? I'm also interested into this but still
not 100% convinced.

Agreed! I just came seem to go through with the purchase until I hear some more feedback.

GetResponse's Power Leads (also called GetSubscribers) are very good co-reg leads, especially for beginners. I've used them myself a fair amount, and here's what I can tell you:

1. These are real leads and can be responsive (open rates and click through rates were quite good).

2. They do buy if you have a good offer and know how to sell. Just like with normal leads, if you can't sell or have a crappy offer, don't expect to become rich.

3. You want to start right off the bat promoting instead of giving pure content for the first while like so many others say (I think that's crazy from my own experiences with co-reg leads -- the first e-mails are always the most responsive).

4. The market you're in can greatly affect your results. Broad markets can do well, but keep in mind these are leads that sign up specifically for your offer, but they're advertised to a very broad group of people. When people unsubscribe from GetResponse or sign up, if the list owner doesn't set a different default page, you'll see these co-reg sign up ads (which is where the leads come from).

5. The only downside (or good thing depending on how you look at it) is that the leads can take a long time to get fulfilled. This is because the leads are specifically signing up for your offer, so you often don't get tons of leads each day (from my experience, it will vary from 0 or 1 lead a day up to 5 to 10 leads a day ... average I'd say is on the lower end of a few leads a day). But again, this isn't really anything bad ... it's because they're real leads signing up for your offer, but don't think that you can use this to get hundreds of leads a day.

I actually buy several of the smaller packages at once so they get fulfilled faster, which is another downside. I wish for the larger package prices (which have a discount) that they'd have more than one ad getting them leads (compared to one ad for each smaller package -- so multiple small packages means multiple ads at once and more leads faster).

Like with any system that deals with leads, even the good ones will get some people complaining about no results simply because they can't sell well to such leads (or often times anyone for that matter), but these leads are legit and can work well.

When you subscribe to any ezine through GR, there are a lot of other ezines displayed and you can subscribe to them as well. Those leads are powerleads. People subscribe by selecting the options displayed, so these leads can be useful.

BUT, overall, GR sucks, and believe me guys, it SUCKS! Go to aweber, if possible.

briankoz · 07-31-2009, 02:59 PM

Punkaj, out of respect for GR, if you have an opinion and state it like that, I'd at least back it up with something. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions, but bashing another company to tell people to convert over to another isn't helping anyone if you're not stating facts.

I have autoresponder accounts at several autoresponders including GetResponse (and Aweber for that matter), and I can tell you that it definitely doesn't suck. Other than the issues they had for about a week during the update (which are now over), they've been awesome.

I prefer them a little bit over Aweber, but both are very good autoresponders and most people would be happy with either. If you're checking out their co-reg / power leads, then you definitely want to use that with GetResponse so you don't have to have them re-confirm in. That's a huge advantage.

Just my two cents...

E-supreme · 07-31-2009, 04:17 PM

Do you have to have GR to use this service or can you use aweber?

jimmytron · 08-01-2009, 09:54 AM

Just a quick update. I purchased 200 leads a week ago and have had only 4 subscribers, Im getting way more subscribers from just adwords and standard SEO. Maybe the problem is my niche...

briankoz · 08-01-2009, 10:14 PM

E-supreme, you can use any autoresponder you want with the Power Leads, BUT the majority of them (like Aweber) will force them to confirm their opt-in a second time. This can lose half the list alone. Whereas if you have a GetResponse account, they don't have you do that because they can verify that they already opted-into your list/newsletter.

Jimmytron, if you've gotten 4 leads in a week, you might want to consider changing your ad around (it could be the niche, but it could also more realistically be your ad). I just checked 10 of my campaigns with them this week alone, and none of them are that low. On the low end, you might get only 1 or 2 leads a day with maybe a day or so at 0 leads, but that's usually a poor performing ad. Better ones will get about 5 leads a day.

And yeah, even 5 leads a day isn't awesome, which is why I buy the packages in bulk so it can be 5 x however many packages.

And you are right, you can certainly get way more leads with Adwords (Google obviously has WAY more traffic than GetResponse does), but you'll also be paying a ton more. You can get hundreds of leads a day with Adwords if you want (if not more) depending on your niche, but you also might be dishing out hundreds to thousands of dollars a day.

When leads on Adwords might cost you $5 to $10 per lead, getting a few leads a day at 40 cents or so a pop isn't all that bad all of a sudden.

Just saying there's give and take with whatever route you go. I go several routes at once, and these leads can get results if you give them a good offer that appeals to a broad group.

iAffiliateMan · 09-01-2009, 05:40 PM

I recently signed up for this as well, and am getting between 8 and 12 leads a day. However, they are all showing as inactive. Does GR give them to you as a lump sum at the end, and keep them inactive until then? Are they unsubscribing? I wouldn't think so, since I haven't sent them anything yet.

Has anyone else had this issue?

briankoz · 09-02-2009, 08:40 AM

Hey Josh / iAffiliateMan,

8 to 12 leads a day (for one campaign / ad) is actually very good for that. If I'm reading your reply right, I think you might have a misunderstanding of how it works. Inactive just means that the leads either all went through all of your autoresponder messages or that you don't have any messages set up yet.

It sounds like you don't have any automatic messages setup yet, so that's why everyone will be inactive. You can still send them a broadcast (now called newsletter in GR), but if I were you, I'd setup at least a few e-mails to send out to that list over time instead of just the first e-mail (I hope that you have at least one e-mail that immediately goes out promoting your stuff).

And just to give an example, if you have one campaign with 3 follow up messages with the last one being on day 7, ALL subscribers on day 8 would be considered inactive. If you then added a new one on day 14, they'd be active until day 14. But again, you can send a broadcast out at any time.

If you don't have a follow up message after the first e-mail, EVERYONE would be inactive immediately.

I feel that my money is always better spend coming up with ways to get people to subscribe to my list by offering them something very valuable, rather than paying to get leads.

Tekwize · 01-17-2010, 08:05 PM

Hey guys,

Just to give you a heads up GR leads are awesome... you just need to know how to treat them

Also, if you only get 4-5 sign ups a day you are doing something wrong.

We average 120 leads a day from GR.

You need to concentrate on your copy, there is no reason why you should not be able to get 100+ coreg leads a day from GR.
