Plain and simple people...

Clayton is a Class Act, anything that comes out of that camp is beyond top notch.

We all know this people...

-Quit wasting time on the board reading negative crap.
-Quit talking yourself out of your success.
-Buy the course, take action, make money.
-If it doesn't work for you get a refund.
-By the time most people have spent reading this thread they could have had a campaign up and running.

Remember "the biggest risk of all is not to risk at all"

Just my "2 mil worth", (2 cents is to small for me)

claytons

Mitch...I hardly think that you really could've done an exhaustive study of over 47 THOUSAND posts to come to that scientific conclusion..it's ridiculous.

Moderators...I welcome reviews of the actual product...but this is just bad form...he's reviewing the forum for crying out loud...he doesn't have the product and is picking posts at random and painting broad brushes about our customers.

Your call of course...

Again...I just wish people who had something of value to say about the product would post...positive and negative...

this hot air negativity from people who don't even have the material is just a bunch of garbage...and frankly, makes product developers not want to spend any time here at all.

claytons

and btw...if you want to see true success stories go here for pages of testimonials

Commission Blueprint 2.0

We get hundreds of these! These are just the ones we were verified and decided to publish.

Another BTW for Mitch...I'll put my money where my mouth is...PM me and within 24 hours I'll give you a copy of CB 2.0...then you can speak intelligently about it. Whatever you really feel.

Mitch Miller

I do not have a position against it. I have read many positive reviews. I simply stated that I was surprised not to find several big time success stories on their forum. That got blown out of proportion by Steve as he went on his semi-attack.

You see, they are making some pretty strong claims. For example on the old CommBlue site;

$125k+ in 30 days!

Over a half a million dollars in the first 7 months...

and then the next paragraph says, "Come on... tell us anyone who's had consistent results like that before... "

Well, if results like that are consistent, then I want in! So I did what any reasonable person would do, and I checked out their forum. I didn't see people posting about results like that.

I am just tired of products being sold with pie in the sky hype. It may be a very sound product (I suspect that it is). Steve does a great job in his videos, so I assume he is a good teacher. I just wanted to substantiate a decision I was thinking of making, with some homework of my own. I came up empty handed.

If I am going to shell out five hundred bucks for a product then I expect it to deliver the goods. It needs to show me how to make the big bucks that it shows in it's sales letter. I don't need "hey I just made my first sale" type of stuff. I can get that for free everywhere.

Two cent here and this is just my understanding, I am not taking a side

1. Clayton, I respect you have stuck up for your product where regret to say, but a 1 in 100 make a full time income off your course, I consider successful, since it is tough. Now mostly because 99 of 100 will not sweat and take the actions even with a step by step plan,
2. The customer support and efforts seem to be high quality
3. I do not see a lot of people turning into superstars with just this material. I see it as a stepping stone, but am questioning weather is deliver to hit consistent 6 figure business.
4. Different people have there own reason for wanting to buy it, a bonus, service, quality etc..

I am stating the obvious here, but that is just my 2 sense (not on any side)

Focused Action

I think the question we should all ask is - when we buy a "blueprint" do we follow EVERY STEP?? Do we treat it as a serious business, do we take focused ACTION?? If you follow every single step in the blueprint and fail, it would then be very easy for Steve or any product creator to take a look at what you did and explain fully why it did not result in success. I am as guilty as anybody in constantly chasing the shiny ball, when I reviewed what I have done so far, it was no shock that I have been unsuccessful. I kept very busy "not following" the exact blueprint..lol That will change!

Mitch Miller

Frankly if you are the sort of individual that feels a "blueprint" for your business needs to be followed exactly, in order to be successful, then you have no business being in business in the first place.

Running your own business is not a time for hand holding. If you need a step by step plan that you can paint by the numbers, then you should be in somebody's business incubator program. Yes you can learn from others and use their strategies, plans, ideas, but you had better be able to adapt on the fly at any given moment. To put it simply, you've got to be a thinker.

Zach Booker

This will be stating the obvious. But maybe the obvious must be stated.

Let's take the keyword 'How to get taller'. Will you rank for that in under a week? Um no.

Will you rank for it in under a month. Probably not.

What CB 2.0 really teaches you is how to slowly build a strong foundation for your site. So obviously just a week after getting the course your sites won't be all hitting number 1. (If it's new.)

In a few months, once people get their sites ranking, i'm sure they'll be tons of success stories.

What do you want from this thread? Get the course and just refund it in the next 30 days if you don't like it.

I really don't see the problem.

I gave you the break down because you obviously don't know what your talking about. If you bought the course and hate it than come and tell everyone, i'm sure Steven wouldn't mind than.

Zach

P.S- Here's some more food for thought. If I was ranking number 3 for a keyword and getting 50 visitors a day and than, thanks to CB2.0, ranked #1 and started getting 300 visitors and making 4 sales a day would I go to the forum and say: "Hey guys i'm making 4 sales a day and making xxx dollars from my website! Aren't I the greatest?"

The only people, imo, that actually post in that section of the forum are the same people who post in this forum saying "I made my first sale!!". You don't see any senior members going "Today I made $456.78, yay."

Focused Action

Mitch, then don't buy a product called "BLUEPRINT"!! I have run a very successful offline business so I fully understand what is required. This particular thread is a review of a product called "Commission Blueprint 2.0" - a product created to give a step by step "blueprint" to run a successful internet business. Of course one will adjust and tweek accordingly. What do you do for a living other than give negative reviews of a product you have never seen?? Just curious??

capone2009

steven, just don't bother with these haters...
they are jealous of you because you actually helped thousands of people to make money and i'm sure you courses are awesome (i "only" got the free report you offered and it is full of high value and I'm sure many many people made money only because of this free report). If I would had the money I would buy all of your products but I think I'm ready when you start your next launch

There are always people like that. I think we can really be happy that you offer your methods to us. Because i think you have enough money and don't have to make these info products. please keep on creating these, even if there are some people who just don't get it.

profitgenerator

Hey Steven....I was just wondering if Wordpress Direct provides any discounts for CB-2 owners as they are doing for 30DC members right now?

Lance K

So all I gotta do is start bad mouthing your forum and you'll give me a free copy? COOL!

J/K


Anyway, Mitch, those are the kinds of success stories you're going to see in forums. People who are killing it aren't going to spend time talking about it. For any number of reasons. Because they don't want to seem like they're bragging, they are busy killing it, etc.

The ones who make their first sale are busting at the seams. They just want to tell somebody. And they want the pat on the back that says 'good job, now keep going'. And as someone who just went from nothing to their first sale, they know that all the others on the forum who have yet to make their first sale need to hear exactly what their story tells. "It works". It's the nature of a forum like that.

claytons

Well said and so true Lance...

Except about the free copy thing! :-)

claytons

Hey profitgenerator, no discounts, but 30 day trial

socksiong

Just want to say something, I'm a customer of Niche Blueprint and Steve is 1 of those genuine guys that supports his customers in forums. Giving us updates and letting us in on non-public tools. (3waylinkblueprint, serpy tool, etc.) So hes legit and I recommend his product.

Mukul Verma

Reminds me of Tony Robbins and Frank Kern. Frank was more excited about his first sale then about making 18 million dollars

Steve Crooks

Information doesn't make money but action does.. A simple truth that 99% of people don't follow. This is the case with Commission blueprint and any other information product out there.

The 1% that do put the info to good use WILL deserve their success.

SimonHarrison

I don't disagree with some of your comments above but it's situation specific. It's not sensible for a budding nuclear fissionable isotopic reactor student to set up his own reactor after watching a 4 minute video and reading a 10 page PDF.

However, there's simpy no doubt that anybody looking to improve their knowledge in the area Steve is teaching will benefit from CB. There's nothing stopping anybody adapting on the fly or using only elements of the information to integrate with what they already know, nobody including the guys at CB are saying otherwise.

You can have a blueprint which helps you in business without removing your ability to think on your feet and use elements of that information in whatever way works for you. Let's not get overly tied up in semantics, would it make it easier if the product was called "Get your site listed , we know our ****"......and they removed the "blueprint" verbiage ?

Newbies get a powerhouse of content, all broken up nicely into short chunks and in a format they can follow and advanced folks can pick and choose from the content as it's been structured well to allow easy pickings..

This forum does get a bit tiresome sometimes with fanboys defending any and all actions of so called Guru types, but equally on some occasions, people just like a product and they say so.

I'm all for knocking crap products, and frankly I think this ban on condemming people who put out crap products is a step backwards, but CB* is really a product that actually shows people how to do what needs to be done, and there's actually not to many of those about.

Exits stage left to do some work., forums are such as waste of time

Kerplunk

Hi Steve,

Is you product a step-by-step system and is it something I could eventually outsource? Also, you may have answered this before but can one succeed starting with SEO only?

Final question, with your course and software, will it still be valuable to have SeNuke or do your tools do the same things for SEO?

If so, I'm sold!

Thanks,
Mike

PS Can I get a free seven day trial somewhere?

claytons

Yes...VERY step by step...in fact someone has started an experiment in the forum where they've given the material to a resource in the Philippines...and seeing how easy it is to outsource it completely.

Honestly...I have to confess to not knowing anything at all about SeNuke :-( I've just been too busy with my own stuff. I will say...that the SEO module is a game changer...in my opinion...and is VERY complete.

Free trial of some of our software only...can be found here

Commission Blueprint 2.0

Kerplunk

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the quick reply. That's a sign that you are very responsive (although I could tell from the previous posts).

I'm going to purchase the product. My plan is to go through the steps you outline and determine if I need to develop training for outsourcers or if I can just use that which is already provided.

I actually do the "offline gold" thing where I do Internet marketing services for offline businesses and don't have time to do much of the leg-work myself so I plan to outsource. (Did I see that you also have an "offline gold" course too?....)

I can't wait to check out the "Filipino" experiment in the forum!

Thanks again Steve,
Mike

claytons

Excellent Mike! Glad to have you on board.

We do have SEM business blueprint ... which is our "offline" product...

See you in our forum!

Mark Bradley

Mitch,Why don't you take Steve up on his offer and then you can make a more informed decision instead of getting 'hot under the collar' about a product that you haven't tried? I purchased the Niche Blueprint programme and I'm really happy with the quality of the information and the support that comes with it.Steve and Tim are,in my experience,absolutely 100% plus and if you are COMMITTED then these guys are among the best that you can learn from.Regards,Mark.

NLDesignStudio

Is it true that SEM Business Blueprint comes as a bonus when you purchase CB.2?

claytons

There were a couple of our largest JV partners that wrestled that bonus from us! Some are listed in this thread. This long thread!

I can't play favorites :-)

David Snape

Hi Steve, This is closing at midnight tonight, right? I'm on the fence. I'm currently doing a mixture of hard products and affiliate products. This is going to be a dumb question because I can guess the answer - I'll be able to adopt what I find in the training for hard products too right? Which time zone does your midnight deadline apply to?

I'm a last minute shopper and not afraid to admit it

kenwarrior

The BIG problem here is that the term "blueprint" should NOT have been used for selling an IM product, blueprint infers very detailed and precise intructions with NO room for error and NO personal or human interpretation of the process or method whatsoever at all!

The fact is in this "blueprint" process there are many points where a personal human decision has to be made which will greatly effect the final outcome..., that NEVER happens in a real world blueprint such as one for manufacturing a piston for a car engine, where you always get exactly the same result no matter who follows the blueprint

I understand "blueprint" is a great sexy marketing word, and it obviously works well as a sales tool, but it simply leads to false expectations and is incorrectly used here, and in some other products

I don't know what else could be used, but the honest name would be something like "very good guide"

The other sexy marketing word that has been sold down the river and fooled many is all the "apprentice" programs... which are Nothing like a real world apprenticeship!!

claytons

Hey David...sorry I didn't see this last night. Totally adaptable for "hard products" absolutely.

We'll be closing sometime today. Most likely around Noon EDT. Trying to clean up a few things!

Hope to see you there!

Danohis

all these seems very revealing, but has anyone made money through the new tactics explained there or it is the were trying it out game?
before i put my money down i want to be such, from a user not a marketer.
only being fair...

danohis

Steve Crooks

Anyone can make a good income using the tactics given by CB2.0 but unfortunately 99% of buyers will not put in the work to achieve it. The tactics are sound and they do work but you need to ask yourself, are you prepared to be in the 1%?

David Snape

Hi Steve,

Ok, I've purchased. And one of the reasons why is because you were so responsive on this forum and because I visited your forum and I can see that you do spend a great deal of time posting and answering questions there. I am impressed by that. You do seem genuinely interested in helping others.

claytons

:-) Thanks for the vote of confidence David! I'll look for you on our forum too.

Hi Steve,

I signed up for the Free Trial of Keyword Blueprint and Offer Evaluator on the 15th and I decided to purchase Commission Blueprint 2.0. However, since it is a 7 day trial, will I have until the 21st to purchase it and if so then will you be sending a purchase link to my email address before the 7 day trial is up? I'm asking this because I read that you will be stopping sales of CB2.0 today and also I will need a few days to make the funds available on my credit card before I make the purchase.

The other thing is that I am hoping to purchase through one of your affiliates to get his bonus, but would purchasing through your affiliates be available after today as well?

Thanks and I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,
Peter

claytons

Peter

You will have 7 days to buy it and will receive a link at the end of the trial (and sooner!). Unfortunately, you won't be able to purchase through another affiliate. Sorry!

Hope to see you there!

kenwarrior

Maybe someone can answer this, I started this thread because of the quality of the free seo report from CBP2, it was actually quite close to being a "blueprint" to building a seo site, I was hoping for a lot more of the same...

Now that I have bought the product I find that the free report is better than the product!

The product seems to be a collection of videos, tools and pdf files sorted into modules, but not carefully connected in a 123 fashion as was the info in the free report, what is more of a puzzle is that there is some info in the free report that is not in the product, small details etc

claytons

sigh..ok Ken...well we can agree to disagree..

Of course the free report includes NONE of our tools and tons of the other content (you really didn't see the value in module 6 alone...or the tools?? )

There is TONS of stuff in there...that can be overwhelming at first..but it does all fit together ... if you give it a chance.

Happy to process a refund for you asap...simply request one.

globally

Hi again Steve,

Sorry to bother you again but I just managed to make the funds available on my card and I'm ready to purchase now so can I use the same email address to purchase through your affiliate as I used to sign up for the free keyword Blueprint trial? Thanks.

Peter

claytons

yes you can Peter...thanks...and glad to have you

kenwarrior

you are wrong!, there are NO other pdf reports in the product that are of the same quality as the free report, that pull everything together in a logical order, thats all I'm saying

Code64

I think the videos and content in CB2 are fantastic.
In Module 10 there are two "plans". I wouldn't call them plans, I think they are overview
charts. Indeed I think what is missing is a "Blueprint" how to connect the dots. There has
been spent a lot of time in developing awesome software and videos, but they totally forgot
to connect all the stuff together and show in a step by step manner how to have success
with either a SEO plan (without spending money) and with a SEO & PPC plan (for those who
have some funds at start). Now you have a lot of videos and manuals but are totally lost
how to start, what to do and how to get started. There is also no information about this
in the forum. The guys in forum are very friendly, but it doesn't make sense every time
you have a question to go back to the forum. Steven is there a "Blueprint" planned to be
released anytime soon?

claytons

well..like I said...not sure you can say I'm "wrong"...I think agree to disagree is just fine :-) You're, of course, entitled to your opinion as I am mine.

and again...I'd ask...have you really been able to try all the tools and get through all the materials this quickly? It would be a challenge for anyone...

I stand by the incredible value of the cost vs. what you get...the tools , by themselves, are worth it...if you use them.

But also...don't want to get into an argument...you're the customer...if you don't think it's worth the price to you..then it isn't...let us refund you right away!! Just say the word to support.

I'll tell them to be on the lookout for the refund request so we can get you sorted ASAP.

profitgenerator

I usually stay out of negative conversations, but this time I just can't, because I can't believe how anyone can make such a negative statement about CB-2...seriously!!

Over time I have read and heard a ton of praise and success stories from people that purchased CB-1, so I thought that CB-2 would be as good or better. Well, I bought it and man oh man, do they deliver!! I am so impressed with the fantastic interface of this product and the information it delivers as well as the exceptional tools, it is by far better than anything I've ever purchased.

If I knew what was inside of Commission Blueprint 2.0 BEFORE I purchased, I would have gladly handed them $1,000 for it. It really IS that good. I was in StomperNet and several other programs so I do have something to compare CB-2 to. It is by far the best product I have purchased and I hope that people don't get side-tracked into negative thinking due to comments like (you know who you are).....sorry, no offense meant, but geez, are you sure you bought CB-2??? It is absolutely in a class of its own....simply FANTASTIC, first class, and I'm certain there will be MANY more success stories as a result of this product and Steve's awesome customer service!

Thanks for letting me vent.

claytons

Code64..

Glad you like the content.

My biggest concern is that people will get overwhelmed...that's what I say in the last module...it was constantly on my mind as we were developing this material. We erred on the side of simply including all our knowledge...this is obviously a good thing in general...but can have a downside.

We do have a plan (as you mentioned)...two of them...really geared for beginners that are broken out into spending money (adwords) and if you don't want to spend money.

It's assumed that intermediates to advanced will be able to use the strategies and tactics in the course in their own , already established, plans.

We are going back and doing a bit more expansion on the two provided plans...but...I think we're never going to be able to satisfy everyone.

This product tries to breakdown the process into a sales funnel...traffic, sites to convert, and offer picking/selection....those components are the same for every project we do...and that everyone does.

What we've done is give you several...very detailed and valuable strategies for each of these components...the down side of that .. is people can be overwhelmed with TOO many choices etc.

It's a balance for sure...and we'll continue to strive towards making that balance as good as we can.

claytons

Thanks profitgenerator I appreciate that.

I do think it's a fair criticism ... that there may simply be "too much" for certain levels of experience..

I was ALWAYS worried about people becoming lost. We sort of erred on the side of the beginner for CB 1 and for the more intermediate to advanced with CB 2...BUT

If you just hang in there...and perhaps do some extra credit research from free sources to give you a foundation...I am VERY proud of the content and what it can do for your business.

kenwarrior

Well, I have had the course for about a week and since I'm retired I have all day to read and watch things, but I guess I'll spend more time reviewing the product and then write a full review since this is a product review thread...

One point I will make now it that it is claimed that you don't need to spend any more money, but to implement the "link juice" strategy in module 6 it is required that you subscribe to an external website for the key data, I notice that this not really mentioned, ok thats not such a big deal, about $30-40/month but I think it's a fair point to bring up!

Actually the course and content is quite good, it's a pity that Steve can't take 1 grain of criticism about his product!, didn't I say at the start that the free seo report was high quality?

claytons

yup...there are some costs out there for the optional advanced stuff....but on that one...if you check out the forum...there's a free way to do that.

That module is a pretty advanced one and for people that have some stuff up and running..I would ask a favor though...that you don't "reveal" much about that whole thing in your review...there's some proprietary stuff in there (not necessarily the concept itself but how we implement it) that I'd love to keep for the product owners only.

That would be most appreciated...and don't forget to give keyword blueprint a GOOD workout...I honestly can't imagine anyone NOT loving that...

thanks Ken...and I think we can turn you around! :-)

Mukul Verma

Steve,

Once again, I admire your methods of handling the heat here (That module would be worth the price for me)

3 Questions

1. I am gonna be away for 6 weeks. Is this something I can hand to my source employee and they follow?

2. I consider myself to be someone knowledgeable (my best site gets 55K visitors). For some newer sites We have been doing a lot of PR, some Articles, Social bookmarking and social networking and has not gotten the results. Can your course help?

3. I am not interested in PPC, what % of the course is based on that?

Thanks in advance

claytons

Hey Mukul

Thanks :-)

1. There are portions of the course that are REALLY well geared for employees to follow and others that would depend on the employee...so tough to answer...but...we've had people who are already giving the content to their outsourcers...and saying...do this part here etc.

2. Module 6 has your name on it...totally and completely. You will totally rethink your seo/traffic strategy.

3. it's one module of 10, although modules 1 and 10 are very small...intro and conclusion kind of thing...so, let's say 1 of 8

hsoftware

So far I am very pleased with the information given in this course. I think Steve and company have done a great job putting CB2.0 together.

Ben
