They had a 2 hour webinar the other night which showed a neat little way of getting traffic from YouTube (nothing new) I think the motivation behind this was that at the end they were offering their Elite CPA Coaching program for $995 and can only accept 15 people. 700 people watched it but only 15 were accepted (oh really!!). I filled out the app form lo and behold I was accepted too, but I won't be paying $995! LOL

I bought the basic product which I consider good except for facebook as I am in UK. The videos are excellent and quite informative. There are a million upsells which I hate with a vengeance. I know why upsells are good for marketers and affiliates, but from the consumers point of view it's a sneaky way of getting more money out of you and the extra information is never justified.

Saj is a cool dude. I also talk to Phil from time to time. Phil is the guy doing all the video training. This course is a great course for CPA for any type of marketer.

I've had the Zero Friction course for a couple of weeks and have completed all of it. As a complete newbie to CPA I wish I had more support and had bought it through a person giving support, but that's ok. I bought the ready made templates but got a refund. The course really takes you by the hand and is very comprehensive. I have tried attaching annotation to videos and so, buying media that way. I think buying media informally like videos and blogs and forums isn't very easily achieved, but IS worth continuing to try. I'd like to give MSN a try with ppc, for sure. Following their instructions I've made it into 4 CPA networks, which I probably wouldn't have gotten into, so I'm happy with that. I find the videos very motivational and have been given good email support. The buysellads is a nice interface for buying media. Most of the 'buys' are gone, but you can still pick up some for about $50. Hence buying video annoitations is probably better by the month. Carlos and Lupe offer a free ebook on cpa which, combined with Zerofriction and following their many tips and good sort of advice, I feel this area offers a good deal of promise for success. Ill have to keep trying though, as I'm inclined to look for low hanging fruit. If its really that easy, then chances are its already been done to death. I realize that Phil lets a few things slide but that's ok, I still think his hearts in the right place; he appears to give out a lot more detail compared to other gurus. I think his product is excellent, but yes, he's definitely out there to make a buck! |

I bought it, went through the videos, followed the instructions and could not replicate their results. I tried to get email support and was put off by the arrogant and non-helpful response I received. It does give ok information about CPA offers and how to pick "winning" offers, but unless you have deep pockets to experiment with the various PPC traffic sources you will lose money. |

I didn't end up buying this because I am tired of OTO and all types of up-sells. I think people should start being more like Tim Godfrey and Steven Clayton. They always just sell their stuff straight away and make their courses totally complete. Ryan |

I purchased ZFM about a month ago and have been consuming the modules as I have had time. I do agree with Ryan's annoyance with upsells- However, they are effective and I have to believe that more often than not they are profitable when compared to abandoned sales forms. I actually purchased through David Guidon's link and was very pleased with bonuses he offered. I did take one upsell- a monthly subscription in return for monthly content. With respect to the product, I purchased it for my son, who just graduated from college and will most likely be training to make a run for the 2012 Olympics. He is interested in a business model that will enable him to train, yet earn a decent living. I have personally viewed the first two modules, and have found the content to be well presented and of value. Of partucular interest to this thread is Module 1- The Underground CPA files. There is quite a bit of detail devoted to getting accepted into CPA networks. For those needing some guidance on how to proceed you will find this content to be of great use. |

Everyone is complaining about not being able to use MySpace outside of the US, but what about doing the same thing with Friendster or FaceBook. I know that you can use these outside the US.

Advertising on facebook should be pretty relevant, as you can target people based on interest, country, demographics etc, as well as you can use a picture, and quite a lot of text too, and it's not very expensive. I'm going to try out CPA with facebook advertising soon... (I had a bit success with adbrite too, but not any more) |

I bought the course and these are my impressions. If you are a newbie it will be good as it starts from scratch. If you are intermediate or advanced the course itself is probably too basic. I mean there's stuff about what is CPA, how to open an account with a CPA and with MSN search. Those things you can either figure out yourself or through this forum. What might make it worthwhile for the more saavy marketer is that it comes with tons of bonuses, which I haven't gone through yet. But I have gone through most of the course and would say that it is for the complete newbie, not for someone who has even say like 6 months experience. |

| Wow... this thread is seriously funny. People want to make "thousands per day" but aren't ready to spend $167 a day.

one other thing I wanted to mention about this product is that in order to get the cut and paste campaigns that they mention in the marketing copy you have to get the premium upsell package which is another $197. Without it you have to create your own campaigns, which they show you to do. But I thought that the copy was a bit misleading. |

Got hold of this product just over a week ago and still going through the bonuses that came with it. Obviously it caters for newbies as you can read above, but I learnt a great deal about what to look for in cpa offers and some stuff about ppc that I had overlooked. Anyone hoping to make money with no investment is wasting their time. Yesterday I kicked in a simple campaign selling Acai berry. Found the keywords pricey but gave it a go anyway..... Spent $39 first day, converted to $56. Today, so far it looks to have started the same totted up $13 and converted $21. Now without stating the obvious, it could be a licence to print money. Maybe these are anomalies, but it doesn't appear so. When more people get in on the act the share of the clicks will go down, but hell, the conversion rates are what are making me excited. Not ready to put the flags up and scream hallelujah yet with this, but it certainly makes you more optimistic than PPC clickbank all the time. Hope that helps. |

Could someone PM me the best person or affiliate that I should purchase Zero Friction Marketing from? Like a url or something? Because I understand that lots of affiliates are offering this and throwing in their own bonuses, I'm not sure which one to go with and I want to get my money's worth. I couldn't find David Guidon's link anywhere.

ZFM is good, but I have to put a lot of time to understand all the modules. It has many vidoes....

I have this, there isn't anything new there. Lots of videos great for a newbies ONLY. He must have used ppc for traffic to get his account banned, he shows us the net amount, but I wounder what his profit was hummm!

My experience with Zero Friction Marketing has been mostly negative: 1. The video training is rambling, repetitious, and amateurish. 2. The video on building landing pages specifically advises you to construct bogus review sites incorporating phony reviews, fictitious testimonials (including photos of people you can find on the internet), images of paychecks that can be found likewise, all with total disregard for ethics, integrity, or possible repercussions should the FTC take notice of your antics. 3. I used their "special tracking" link to apply to the CPA Bullet network, which supposedly guarantees acceptance. My application was rejected without explanation. 4. Their customer support has been unresponsive to my emails regarding these issues. My advice: STAY AWAY FROM ZERO FRICTION MARKETING. |

Hi everyone I agree with DJL about Zero Friction Marketing. Everything said above is true. I was particularly appauled that they would encourage the use of fake testimonials! I bought the ready made campaigns and I can say that Adbrite consistently rejected the offers I tried to promote for the same reasons mentioned earlier in this thread - the offer is not truly a "free" offer etc. The types of ads they want to run just don't suit many CPA style campaigns it seems. Banner ads tend to get low CTR so I am not surprised that Nightwolf above has mentioned a $70 ad spend but no conversions. Yes its cheaper than adwords but at the end of the day you are still losing money... just slowly. The MSN campaigns on the ZFM videos show much lower cost and higher clicks than you will find if you try the exact same campaign today (I can't beleive the prices on MSN for a particular keyword have more than doubled in just a few months?) I contacted the support to ask for help when I had these problems with Adbrite and MSN campaigns and all I got back was the disclaimer quoted that "things can change". When I tried to cancel the recurring billing when I realised the product is bogus (because none of the techniques they are teaching actually work) my credit card was still rebilled and they wanted me to provide receipts as proof before they would cancel the membership! So I agree STAY AWAY FROM ZFM. This is one of the poorest products I have ever bought as there is obviously outright deception going on from what is shown in the videos to actual reality. The videos are very professional looking but I will agree they are repetitive and tend to waste alot of your time to communicate a simple concept that could have been said in 30 seconds rather than 5 minutes. On the surface it looks thorough and professional and would probably suck in alot of newbies to hang on to the product long enough to get past the refund/guarantee period but if you still happen to be within the refund period I suggest you try to get your refund before time runs out because even though the methods and videos "look" good I can guarantee you that when you come to implement the techniques you won't make any money because it just doesnt work! |

I don't know why some people find Saj P and his partner cool and great, but I got their latest product "Banner Ad BluePrint" and got all of their products as a bonus. All of their products are tedious, poor, boring (it's turning to be annoying that this guy starts each video with "hey, what's up", maybe that's why some here think he is cool, but I only find this boring to death) All the product are offering only very basic info... | |

ZFM has allot of general information in it, but the reason why all these expensive courses always consist of reshashed general info is because the methods they outline do work. Its just not as easy as the salesletter claims, or not as flashy. ZFM is a good course but do not expect a step by step guide teaching you how to become a millionaire. IMO this course wont benefit newbies to the IM game at all. |
