If you want an instant blog generating software like WPMage check out Firepow. They appear to be basically the same more or less. Can anybody using firepow confirm this?

I just recently signed up for the trial myself. Personally, Domain Mage is by far the most valuable tool. It's worth the $27 by itself, easily. With the other tools included in the basic package, Adept Mage is a no brainer.

As for the big $600 WP Mage package, I'm going to use Caffeinated Content, which I already own. Invest the $600 in outsourcing fees instead.

Don't pay $59/mo. for Build My Rank. Here's a way to do it better and cheaper. Check out my LinkAuthority.com review.

Im sure his product is worth the almost $800 price tag it has right now but for someone like myself who only has maybe an extra $100 to $200 a month to apply to marketing.. it's just really too much...

Greg maybe you could offer monthly installments of $199 for 4 months or something.

Otherwise well... im building google sniper sites by hand for now. Perhaps I will have more than plenty in a few months.

If you team up with ONE other trusted person and work 40-60 hours a week, and do things RIGHT from the beginning, you should have no problem creating a residual income that you can comfortably live off of.

If you do it by yourself and you work 80-100 hours per week (I'm serious), don't lose your motivation, in about 10-12 months you'll be golden. 8 months should provide you with an income to live on. 10-12 months and you're set.

If you do it and do it right from the outset, you're good to go.

We are using mage on a limited basis right now. However, that is soon to change, very soon.

Good luck and if you have any questions, PM me.

Warmly,

Brandi

Definitely, the readability is poor when you translate the content. Sometimes, very poor.

To overcome this, I am using a template that puts my ebay listings on the top of the page, so most visitors probalby won't even scroll down to the bottom and see the scraped content, anyway. If anyone wants that template, pm me. It just takes a couple more clicks to add it to your sites.
See Amy, this is where most people get all hung up-- perfection. The goal isn't "pretty". As a matter of fact, ugly sells. Ha.

Yes, you have to change your way of thinking a little when you use the mage. Mainly, you have to simplify. Ooooooh,that's tough.

For example, we are so accustomed to making sure that our main keyword is in our domain name. Well, with Greg's method, that's not important. I bought one expired domain that has the absolute dumbest name ever, it's really quite funny. Loaded it up with completely unrelated ebay products, and it's one of my best performing sites! I get a chuckle out of how simple this is. Don't over-think!

Amykay - you are so right on target here. That was my biggest hurdle when I first started with the Mage - getting over everything I had learned previously and realizing it wasn't necessary.

It's funny that y'all say this.. because.. there is so much misinformation about seo and traffic out there.. and I read stuff and just kind of chuckle. There's no way I would actually bother correcting someone because it'd be to no advantage- they'd never believe it unless they tried it.

Some myths die hard... or never at all

Hi

I am looking forward to having a go with WPM when it is re-released. Does anyone have any good tips to get started, and how to make a really good front page?

Also can you add an aweber form?
Can you add any CPA banners or a html banner code on front page or should the front page look as natural as possible.
Can you add a link on the bottom of the template for the new FTC ruling earnings disclaimer.

Thanks

It's based on wordpress, so anything you can do in wordpress, you can do in WPM. So to answer your question, yes, you can add any of those things.

Hi,
IMHO I would advise you not to go out on a limb and gamble your family's welfare using "scared money". What I mean by that is that 8 months seems like a long time now,.. but it will soon fly past and in 4 or 5 months from now if you hadn't replicated your current earnings then you'd really start to be feeling under pressure. I've been there several times since being online and I can tell you that one's thinking and choices tend to become blurred and panicked under such circumstances.
I certainly feel that within 6 months you could be in a situation where you could be consistantly earning between $2,000 to $4,000 per month with such a system as Mage (Perhaps realistically even more than that depending on your level of application and a little good fortune along the way.) As with anything though,- there are always downsides (and blindsides...been hit by a few) and as such, your level of success would be somewhat speculative at this stage.
If I was in your shoes I'd probably take the internal transfer and hang on to that steady cash flow of income. There's nothing quite like embarking on any new business (especially IM) knowing that you have a very comfortable cash buffer on hand.

The thing with Mage that seems clear is that the necessity to spend 40 to 60 hours per week "working" the system is absolutely unnecessary. In fact, it's specifically been designed under a very simple automated system both from mechanical and a theoretical/blueprint aspect,.. and as such I'd suggest to you that if you were to spend 10 to 15 hours a week on this to get started that you'd probably see just as remarkable results as you would sitting behind your PC for 40 hours per week.

Sometimes, I strongly feel that when I have limited time to spend on my IM projects that I get more done,.. simply because I have to force myself to remain focused. It's so easy to waste away hours when you're online "full time".
Once you had established yourself and your Mage system to the point of consistent and rising income you could then retire from your day job.
Hope this helps in the overall perspective, and I wish you the best in whatever eventual choices you make.
Russ

I am currently testing the WP Mage system. I have only been at it for a short while now as I am a long time Auto blogger, I find the tools here ot be a great add on to what I already do.

I have found that using Plugins like phpBay and ReviewAZON by modifying my templates (5 minutes of work) have made a big difference in the SEO of the sites. By making your EPN and Amazon Links SEO Friendly you keep the GoogleBot coming in.

For my content sites I am using Adsense, but I am using the MaxPress Ninja Cloaker to automatically add Affiliate links to preset keywords that I have chosen. The links themselves are seen as pages by Google and they have been indexed in some cases by most of my pre-existing blogs created with WP Robot and Autoblogged. It creates anchor text links in the content and I normally get more from those links than I do the Adsense.

The worst thing about WP Mage is that the Page Tiltes are not maximized for SEO. They are not bad. But they could be better. I have made some suggestions to Greg on this.

I have over 20 Blogs that are in the works right now and I have several domains with over PR4 and PR5 with thousands of backlinks that I am hoping to capitalize on. I am using the Redirection Plugin along with a 301 redirect to take advantage of pre-exiting links to pages that don't exist for the Expired and Auction Domains that I have purchased.

It is a great system, but just linke any Autoblog, the out of the box solution is not the answer. To get the most out of these blogs you need to "Pimp" them as Greg says.

Ugly brings in more Adsense clicks than anything. People get to your site because of your content, but quickly click on a link to leave and find something better. It is a beautiful thing.

With all due respect, I have got to disagree with you on this. Ugly sites or sites with no valuable content on might get a click yes but more likely will result in the back button or "close window"..

Far better to think in terms of reducing the number of exit points on a page (links) and selling the click through smart, well written copy..

Sorry to take this thread off topic from wp mage. I see it is back on the market again BTW for google sniper customers.

I don't think any of us will share our sites, for obvious reasons. If you contact Greg, he might share one of his.

I think that WarriorCoupon is expired. It was part of Greg's WSO launch.

The price today is $797 at once, OR $297 if you want to pay 3 installments.

No worries. I have to tell you though. For over 3 years I made $50,000 per year in Just Adsense from Blog and Ping using Blogger Generator to create thousands of Blogger Blogs and RSS Evolution which made some of the worst looking money sites you will ever see. With my ads above the fold and in the right Sidebar they killed daily. I only wish Google hadn't gotten smart on it or I would still be doing it today. Every site I put tons of effort into didn't have near the conversions of those ugly sites. There is a hapy medium, don't get me wrong. They had templates and were "normal" sites, but it is a valid technique. Don't knock it till ya try it.

Check out my Video Review here: WP Mage Review: Taking Wordpress Auto Blogging to the Next Level

I had to cloak the url because my website has the words black and the word hat in it and this forum automaticaly changes the links. It is not an affiliate link.

In the video I show you the output of a site created with this system and I show you the entire Member Area of WP Mage so you can see all the tools inside. I was kind of rushed when I made it so excuse the lack of close ups in the video. It is in HD though so you can go full screen.

Been there, done it, worn the T shirt and thankfully saw the light and realised what a waste of time and energy it is continually chasing after ways to buck the system with trashy, ugly, junky sites. Black hat, bluefart, whatever you want to call it, yes you can earn a few bucks for a while but it will only last for a while. A far far better strategy now is to build something that has a future.

Every site I put tons of effort into didn't have near the conversions of those ugly sites. There is a hapy medium, don't get me wrong. They had templates and were "normal" sites, but it is a valid technique. Don't knock it till ya try it.

I have been sitting on the fence on this one, hard to do any real research on the product because it's so new.

Wish more of the beta testers were able to give some feedback on this. Plus I'm wondering if without an Overstock or EPN affiliate program (denied by overstock, have not tried with EPN) will this still be worth it?

Got a few hours left, but I'm thinking I'm going to jump on the bandwagon as it were..

Hi Greg,

is the wpmage offered to google sniper customers the whole, full mage software with no recurring payment? I ask because it seems there are different version, adept mage, master mage, wp mage. I'm confused...

I did not lie, you just misunderstood me. There are affiliate links on the target page, yes. I tell everyone that on the page. The link I placed to the Review and Video is not an Affiliate Link. It is a link to my Blog.

The Content of the Review and the Video provides exactly what was being asked for, an Inside Look at the Program and to see a site which has been created with WP Mage.

What I said was that this was not a direct Affiliate link. It is a link to a page on my website. I was using a bit.ly link instead of a direct one since my website is called: (Black) - (Hat) -(Software)

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Don't get me wrong. I agree with you completely. But they have their place in a world where it is best to diversify your portfolio.

I promote and do a lot of Auto Blogging, but 90% of what I do is straight Affiliate marketing building websites just as you described. Google is too good to waste time on getting good domains slapped constantly. There are a lot of good Grey Hat ways to roll that are truly effective though.

Yes, I have read the whole thread, and I believe the first poster was a she ;-)

I think approx 3 or 4 people have stepped up to give their thoughts-I'm guessing there was more than that who beta tested?

you're not allowed to promote links in a post with your affiliate link to it, or to a page that has affiliate links in it... that's what your signature file is for.

No. The Rules as I just read them state that you may not post affiliate links here in the forum. It does not say anthing about the Sites people link to from here.

Here: (sorry to those of you here for content on WP Mage)

The rules for this section:

7. No Affiliate Links - Sorry but if we allowed affiliate links in these reviews it would be a big ad forum within a few days instead of an unbiased review forum.

There is also a rule about not promoting your own Products in these threads yet some people seem to do that regularly.

5. No threads will be accepted if the owner of the product is posting their own product just so it gets advertised. We can tell, so please don't try it.

This guy is quite successful. As is Greg Jacobs. The model of ugly works well, depending on what you are targeting.

Adsense= ugly sites.

Your ebook that you are trying to sell? Pretty.

Ugly sells.

I really like the Mage system and Kudos to Greg for creating the software and for putting the forum together. The 60 trial offer really is terrific and very worthwhile joining. Of course some trial members will continue with the membership (at the Adept level) once the trial has ended, and some will be poised to invest in the full Mage system once it gets re-released down the track (I'm assuming that it'll be a "when" rather than an "if" ,..even if it is in moderation). But having said that, I do feel that it is extremely generous of Greg to open the doors to his system and in doing so he has shared everything... all the videos and the pdf reports of which a lot of effort has gone into. Added to that is the free Affiliate-Mage tool that he really didn't need to give away but chose to in what seems to be a genuinely gregarious spirit.

I've decided I'm not going to pursue becoming a full Mage at this stage (hey that rhymes!), because I'm more focused on other projects which includes following through with my plans in implementing the Sniper system. Although George has acknowledged that there can be some distinct and profitable benefits from "pimping" Sniper sites and packing them out with hundreds of other long tail phrases,.. I tend to think that it could also water down the laser focused sniper impact that a simple site focused on a single keyword phrase can have. Having said that, I will definitely set up several (OK maybe 20 or 30) Mage-istic sites using current autoblogging tools I have which whilst not offering the full scope of features that Mage has they still have the basic elements that can go a long way to populate blogs with decent content that I'd probably hand tweak as well,.. plus I can incorporate the free Mage Affiliate plugin that Greg has so kindly and generously made available.
For me, in being very adept with systems admin and Wordpress it doesn't pose any challenge to me to set up blogs on multiple sites and/or servers because I have done so many of them and have designed a sweet little flash upload script that cuts down my time in doing the setups.
Having said that,.. I think that for anyone that perhaps doesn't have that hands on experience and skills or maybe they'd just like to save a stack of time automating the whole thing and intend on setting up dozens and dozens of these site then I can understand the investment which can be justified or at least ratified against a time & motion model.

I'd have to agree that the price tag does seem a little hefty but at least it is somewhat more manageable being split into three payments. It seems quite clear from reading in the Mage forum that there are many full Mage members that are really getting a lot out of this system and even in the early stages seem to be showing promising results,.. both in monetary returns and in increased levels of self confidence and enthusiasm to move forward with their IM dreams and objectives. The thing is that from a software point of view, there really isn't anything else that's directly available that will do everything that Greg's software will do,.. plus I do appreciate the fact that he's selling a system and along with that comes full and direct support from him personally,- that's a lot more hands on and productive than many "gurus" have come forward with previously and at the same time charged $1997 for their systems that look fine in theory but in practice they fall way short of the mark.
Anyway,.. sorry for the longer than intended post but I just thought I'd make a point of saying that I think Greg is a genuine guy who's put a lot of work into this software and system, and also has given guys such as me a chance of road testing it and using his information and free Mage affiliate system. I think that's awesome,- sincere thanks there Greg!
For anybody that's kind of floundering or at a loss to get stuck into something,.. I'd say that Mage is really worth having a run with because if you are focused and committed I can't see how you could not at least turn this into a passive monthly money spinner that could range from several hundreds of dollars to several thousands of dollars.
Best wishes to all that decide to get stuck into this Mage system one way or another, and looking forward to hearing some of the success stories down the track.

Yep, I'm a *she*. There were around 30 beta testers and some have chimed in on this "wpmage review thread" - although it seems to have taken many twists and turns since I started it. I just wanted to share my thoughts on the mage ... I'm not an affiliate and haven't profited at all from the review. It's a great program -- for me. It's not for everyone and some will not like it at all. That's because we're all different and have different needs.

And that's why Greg offers a guarantee of satisfaction.

Thanks for your response Linda.

I hope I did not offend you, my response was to CoolAromas comment "Check him out."

Anyway, I decided to jump on board and am quite busy reading/and viewing the info presented in the members area. I tried to do whatever due diligence I could, but ultimately it was a bit of a 'gut' decision.

The WP Mage system isn't really any different than what I was already doing with my Auto Blogs. The main thing for me was the automation aspects of it. What I have found is that what used to take me a week or so, I now can get done in a day. 1 site per day is incredible and the amount of options on what kind of sites you create and what you promote is limitless.

Greg has done a great job and as we have seen already, he is improving it almost daily.

Okay, I am not tech minded.
I'm somewhat shy of getting this system and then not knowing how to use it to it's full advantage.

Is there a way that I can get a baby system, just to make sure
that it is not over my head?
I heard of a $27 a month system but I don't know how to go about getting it,

I could use that until I get advanced enough to go for the whole thing.
I also heard that you don't get to keep or own the domains that you buy, not really sure
what that was all about, I just saw it in another post...

Does the $27 a month system come with full and complete video training?
If so how do I get it and what is its name?

Thanks for any feedback.

You do get to keep your domains if you buy them. I don't know what you heard otherwise.

To use the system, you would really have to buy the whole thing. Keep in mind that Greg has a 30 day money back guarantee. That's plenty of time to get in there, and see if you can do it.

In the Mage forums, it looks like there are some newbies who are figuring it out just fine using Greg's step by step videos and instructions. Even the instructions have pictures.

It's a tough call, I know. When I first bought it, I used the "quick and dirty" method. I just used the Mage package as is without any extra tweaking, and put up sites as quickly as it would let me. So basically, everything I needed to know was in Greg's training. You don't really have to do anything else at all.

Bottom line, you are probably already advanced enough for the "whole thing." If someone thinks I'm wrong, and that it is tricky, please chime in.

Sorry to go a little off topic but this is important.

I can't stand Black Hats!
I just don't trust them folks!!!
I had a Black Hat Slither onto my server one time and he took
every file that I had for my membership site and posted them openly
on a Black Hat forum... It was a free for all... hundreds and hundreds of my membership products plucked away...

Don't trust them folks!!!

DANGER!!! DANGER!!! DANGER!!!
RUN AWAY! GO AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!! RUN I SAY, RUN!!!
DON'T LINK UP WITH ANY E-MAIL CORRESPONDENCE!!!
YOUR TREADING ON VERY DANGEROUS WATERS IF YOU DO!!!
YOUR COMPUTER COULD BE SAVAGELY COMPROMISED!!!
RUN I SAY,,, R-U-N!!!

THEY ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!!!
SPREAD THE WORD TO ALL OF THOSE YOU LOVE AND CARE ABOUT!!!

RUN, RUN, RUN,,,
THEY ARE VERY MALICIOUS AND DECEITFUL!!!
THEY GAIN YOUR CONFIDENCE AND THEN SPRING THEIR TRAP!!!
DANGER!!! DANGER!!! DANGER!!!

Did someone say you cannot sell a site built using Mage???
That would be my first reason not to try it.
And do you have to keep paying monthly after creating your site?
That would be my second reason...
I'm not trying to bash the thread but...
I like to own what I create.
I hate a monkey on my back feeling.

Here´s a clip from the sales page but I´m not sure if you can sell the sites you create or not. Does anyone here know?







When you own your WP Mage licence, you are given the system. (We’ll install WP Mage on your server for free or you can install it yourself.)
There is no limit to the number of sites you can make. We do NOT charge you for each installation.
You also get ALL the tools needed to implement the system. You don't have to find and piece together this tool here and this tool there.
We do NOT have high monthly fees you have to pay to access our tools. Nor do we have low monthly fees...
You are given unlimited access to every tool you need for FREE.
And for life.


Sounds like a one time payment to me.
