For the one time fee you get the package downloads that install the Mage sites.

The monthly fee is for the adept mage membership which is optional. It includes tools that help you with you mage building like finding good expired domains, indexing, and getting keywords.

Last I heard you cannot resell these sites. Greg is considering offering a reseller's license in the future, though.

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.
Yes,.. the full Mage membership is a one time payment.

As far as the notion that you cannot sell a site built with Mage,- that's not correct,.. you can sell any sites you create as long as you have a willing buyer. One thing you could not do would be to set up a site so that is continually adding content via the Mage "drip feed" and thereby requires the installation of Mage. In such circumstances that buyer would have to invest in Mage him/herself but then the issue of availability from Greg may come into play (i.e. at the time of your sale, Mage may not be available for sale). But,.. having said that, there would be nothing to stop you creating a MAge site and then selling it later (although if it was producing you regular passive monthly income.. why would you want to sell?), and the purchaser would then have to look after the ongoing content and management as is the case with the sale of any site.

@cashtech29 if you're not "technical" and need things to function simplistically then the Mage system would be ideal for you. I can't recall the last time I saw a system that is so streamlined and "one-click" install and management oriented.
As pointed out by Linda Van Fleet, Greg gives a 30 day satisfaction money back guarantee so you could really put the Mage through its paces in that time and the system and all the user friendly functions would be made quite clear. On the other hand,.. the $27 Adept Mage membership would give you a clear insight and at present the $27 is waived for the first 60 days. The only problem I see with "sitting on the fence" would be that Master Mage membership openings could be closed by the time you realized it was worth pursuing.

I'm not affiliated with Greg in any way,.. and although I live in Thailand I've never met nor spoken with him so I can speak honestly and without bias,.. and having said that I'll say that if I wasn't myself very technically capable in being able to set up sites, tweak wordpress, and plugins etc, and if I could afford to lay $797 or 3 x $297 on the table then I think I'd jump at the chance. With all the "get rich schemes" and overwhelming information on the Internet today, I see the Mage system as being a way in which any serious person could set to work with it and establish an ongoing cash-flow stream. That could be enough for your to quit your day job,.. but at the very least it would provide a solid platform upon which you could build and grow your eventual self sustaining IM business. There aren't very many opportunities out there that the same could be said of (I should know because I've tried and failed with many of them).
Cheers, Russ

Thank you for your feedback.
I am curious; Once the system is bought, is it or the adept mage extra software linked
back to Graig's system?

I would be concerned that if something were to happen to Graig, such as
loss of interest, incarceration or even him passing away, would the system then become useless to anyone who has it???

hopefully none of those things would ever happen. but if I just decided to turn off my computer for a year, your Mage would still function 100%

ie.. its standalone.

Thanks for the reply Greg.
I hope none of those would happen either.

So when someone buys the system and they are then instructed to
turn off their $27 monthly payments, is this because that extra software, then also becomes stand alone?
If I had you install the initial system, would I also need to have you install the extra Adept software once I turn off the $27 monthly payments?

Hope these questions aren't redundant...

the $27 is for some hosted tools for domain and keyword research. you get lifetime access to that with the Master Membership.

so you dont have to pay monthly. We dont plan on shutting down the server anytime soon as it still has quite a few paying $27 a month members that makes it worth our time.

even if for some odd change that we just dropped completely off the face of the planet or moved to some country where they dont have the internets, then your core Mage will still function fine.

I´m not using Greg´s Mage system yet, but I just wanted to say that I watched all the videos and read the Mage Blueprint and it looks like a great, fully-operating, complete system.

I had a lot of questions and contacted Greg by email and he was very responsive and helpful. If this is any indication of the kind of service and support provided when buying his system, I have to say it's the best support I´ve ever seen anywhere, on or off-line.

He´s already over-delivered even before buying and that has as much weight in my choice of purchasing anything as the product or service itself.

Very impressive Greg and thank you.

How long does it usually take for Google to find all the comments in newly formed Mage site and index them? Does anyone know?
Seems like it does a few at a time but does anyone have any first hand experience with this? Is there any way to speed up the process?

I've seen the blueprint and it seems really cool. I guess it can be adapted in many ways.

Greg, will there ever be an option to include CPA in this somehow? I know it wont happen any time soon, but could be a thought for future updates.

There's already Commission Junction in there. More are being added so I have been told and a new plugin that I recommended them to make, an incontent linking plugin, but needs some additional tweaks to make it a tad better, but it's the first draft of the plugin.

Someone asked about CPA. I am using these sites with CPA. On a small scale for now, but I intend to pursue it further. I mean, if I can get 4,000 weight-loss related keywords and spit out a site in a matter of minutes, and spend 2 more minutes to copy/paste an html cpa banner onto the top of each post... I may just be able to compete in the weight loss niche! Or ANY niche.

Wow, that was a very long sentence.

So, yes, think CPA.

I too, had the privilege of being one of Greg's beta testers. Linda covered everything very nicely, but I just wanted to chime in as another that is having wonderful success with WPMage.

It's surprisingly simple, but so powerful. Of the methods that Linda mentioned, I use CPMage to set up all of my sites. It's all pre-configured and after a few clicks, my site is set up. I do some tweaking to the site that same evening, and other than going back in to browse stats, that site is done. Unless I want to change something, there's no more work to that site.

I will mention that not all sites are winners. I have a few that haven't made much money, but for the amount of time that I spent putting the site up, it's really no big deal.

I have also been trying out the Mage system with some variations of what Greg teaches, and am finding success that way too, so it's certainly not limited in use.

Tracy
Can anyone using the Mage system give us an idea of the stats they are having with the system? Obviously the numbers will vary depending on the niche but, for example:

How many of the posts, on average, are being indexed by search engines per day?

Where is the traffic coming from? YouTube, other sites or blogs, Google, Yahoo, MSM searches, etc.

How many hits are they getting a day on average and if it´s increasing by what percentage?

Are they getting any spam in their email that´s attached to the account?

Is anyone adding an opt in option on their homepage and building a list? Is it converting?

How much time does it take for you to build your average site?

How many keyword or long-tail keyword phrases is the program mining from your seed keyword on your average site?

What´s the most time-consuming step in the process of building a mage site and how long does that take?

Can anyone PM me with a link to one of the Mage sites they built so I can look at ot as a customer would? That would be so much better than watching a video

Some real numbers would be greatly appreciated from anyone using this program. It looks like a fantastic deal but any hard facts from someone actually using it would ease my mind before spending the money to get one.

Thanks

Hi Frank,

Do you really live in Cancun ... I am green! It is getting cold where I live.

I can't answer all of your questions ... but, here's a few. Maybe Greg will pop back in soon.

--- Traffic comes from the search engines and back links (we purchase expired domains)
--- hits? you mean visitors, I think. It depends on the quality of the domain name you have purchased. I have some that hit the road with 100 visitors a day and some that start of with as few as 10 vpd. As you keep adding posts your traffic continues to climb. Sorry I don't do percentages.... I just look at my income .
--- I haven't noticed any more spam than a blog normally gets with my maged sites. We use Akismet. You are free to add any other spam control plugins you'd like to add.
--- I haven't added an optin list; others have talked about it on the forum. Yes, I know I am probably leaving money on the table .
--- I am slow, so I'm probably not the best person to answer your "how much time" question. I focus on quality, not quantity. You can actually put a site up in minutes (after you know what to do).
--- keywords ... EVERY niche is different, so you can't really give an average.
---the most time consuming process is listening to the videos and reading the pdf files ... i.e., laying the foundation of knowledge. BUT if you will do that, then the rest is a piece of cake ... a lot of people want to jump in and start building sites without the slightest understanding of the mage system. Some don't even know what a wordpress blog is ... and they want to be a success today.
--- send Greg an email. He will share URL with you.
--- I started this thread with real numbers. When I started the thread I had nothing to gain ... no affiliate link, nothing. I just happen to love the mage. I kept getting pm's from people asking my affiliate link (a lot of people have joined the mage because of this thread) so I finally asked Greg if we have an affiliate program that I could join. I joined it this week. I have made no money from this ... I have given you unbiased fact. I know my figures are not all that great when compared to the big IM marketers ... but I'm very happy with the return!

Okay ... that's the best I can do.

Hope it helps a little.

Linda

Thanks Linda,
Your post is very helpful and yes, I really live in Cancun.

Watched all the videos and read the entire PDF that Greg put out and emailed him and he answered all my questions promptly and professionally which I found impressive.

If anyone here can PM me a link to one of their live sites mad with the Mage so I could browse it ( maybe even buy something) I´de really appreciate it.

I´m glad you´re seeing good results with the program.
Thanks again.
Talk soon,

Hello.
I am this |..| close to ordering.
My wife is this |...| close.

Can someone also PM me a link to one or two of their mage sites?

This would be of great help in making my decision.

I also want to thank everyone for contributing to this thread.

Thanks for any assistance...

Any idea when WP Mage will be back on the market again. I had heard November 23rd but wanted to see if that is correct. Also, any idea of the price it will be when re released and if there will be a payment plan option?

Yes, it will reopen November 23rd for 4 Days and they are working on some things to make it even better.

I determined recently that there is money to be made on the internet. So I have been reading and trying to learn everything there is to learn to be successful at this. I came across this review a couple of days ago and I have been glued to the videos ever since. This was exactly what I had been looking for. It all makes perfect sense and I am looking forward to really getting involved in the mage system. I think you are really on to something, Greg! I will be looking at the Adept Mage but I believe I would really like to get into the whole thing with the Wordpress Mage when you release it I will mark the date on my calendar and I will let you know how I do along the way!

pcgirl,

Start reading and watching the videos within your adept mage mebership site. And read around the forums. Greg's system combines the goodies you've been reading about how to make money on the interent, and makes it FAST. That's the bottom line. It's so fast.

You will love it. My advice is, as soon as you get your Master membership, build, build, build!

Hi Pcgirl ...

Come on in! The adept level will get you started and you'll already be on the inside learning all the automation tricks. A lot of people think the Adept Mage level is just for someone who can't afford the full mage package ... and that is certainly a wonderful solution if you don't have the money ... but they forget that Greg started without any of the tools ... he did it all manually and then created the tools later. So, don't discount the adept level ... I'm thinking you can still use it to propel yourself to a nice Internet income.

I will look for you in the mage forum. Please say hello.

Linda

I too will be joining on the 23rd. I was considering buying a couple of days ago, thought I better sleep on the idea as it's a lot of money, and woke up to find it closed!
I'm building a few different sites at the minute using different models, long-term whitehats and some that I think resemble George's Sniper sites, and I think the WPMage approach could be great - especially as it's so scaleable!
Look forward to getting involved.

P.S. Just a quick question - Are you able to vary the templates of posts? I know you can custom design your own (to rearrange in what order different content appears on the page), but is there a function to vary the layout of different posts? Not a huge issue obviously... just curious as to how much the posts will look the same. Thanks

Yes, you have control of the layout when you build your Mage sites. There are choices built in. If you want to be more advanced, Greg teaches how to tweak the templates, to make it your own. With so many variables, you can easily create a template that none of the rest of us are using.

Just FYI in Magespeak, template=layout.
theme=well, theme.

I think adept is available now. The Master will not be available until November 23rd.

The adept membership has lots of tools that compliment the Master. It's not required, but very helpful. It helps you find good expired domains, get plr articles, get indexed quickly and more.

Does that make sense? I know it's become confusing.

Why the sudden $200.00 price hike for the full mage???
From $797.00 to $997.00 ?

I do notice your edit above... Looks like the cats already out of the bag.
I sure hope not.
If that is the case, I will probably have to take a pass on something that I was really wanting.

I wonder if anyone knows if someone can not get approved by eBay or Overstock as
a merchant/affiliate for their products, will the full mage package be of any value.
I think that one might be quite bumbed out if they spent $1,000.00 and couldn't use the
system.
Does anyone know of any way around this issue?

There are so many more things that can be done with the Mage. Not only is there EPN and Overstock, there's Amazon, Adsense, Clickbank, CJ (with 2000 merchants). You can also put your own banners (CPA or others) in the WhyDoWork plug-in. Or as some mentioned - list building.

Most of my Mage income does come from Ebay, but that is what I mainly promote, but I am seeing some other income streams as well.

Well, I've been testing Wordpress Mage for about a week, and I honestly can't believe how many tools there are; both for the actual wordpress setup AND in the members area.

The plugins are pretty cool but here's my honest opinion of it:

The plugins, while cool, only work (seemingly to me) on hosting companies that have Cpanelx on them, like HostGator and a few others.

You may be able to use them without, only if you have the required settings initiated with your server - and most of these prerequisites already being ready on Cpanel type hosting.

Now, the plugins themselves are pretty awesome. Truth is, I was only able to install these items on one blog that I already had (the rest are not on that type of hosting).

Content mage was able to generate 150 pages in a few seconds, all containing content AND my affiliate links to various affiliate programs. It also made the posts based on the keywords I chose.

If anyone knows or has used caffeinated content before, you would think it is similar to that, but better. More content, more affiliate programs, and best of all more versatility.

As far as the members area tools go, that in and of itself is pretty awesome as well. You can search for bulk domains, they have free articles you can use, search for keywords and so on.

Again, I haven't been able to implement this on a large scale, but I have seen an increase for the impressions of my affiliate programs since using it.

There are 2 things I can think of:

1. Use a new email address. Sometimes this actually works.

2. I think the WP mage affiliate section may give you tips on this, but I don't remember for sure.

The best thing I can think of is to build a review site (a general one) for either affiliate programs or products, then when you try to sign up either you're a PPC affiliate with a budget of at least 1K or you use SEO, and your blog gets at least 25K visitors a month.

Lightbulb Re: WP Mage Review Thread

Linda,

Thanks a lot for all your posts, and especially the frist one, that clarified A LOT for me, that I was not clear about because I didn't get the picturea how all the tools are connected.

Especiall what CPmage is needed for compared whth the other plug ins.
I joined wpmage 3 days ago, soaked all in, and sounds doable for me, even with intermediate technical skills. I know basic FTP etc. but finally there is still the option to get an affordable webmaster, if get stuck at any point - or simply to save valueable time versus figuring details mayself.

Also big thanks for the effort and energy you put into explaining!!! It really is extremely helpful!!

You're actually an hyperactive helper

Also saw your posts inside the wpmage forum! Those were among the most helpful onse!!

-----------------------------
Also thanks to Greg, I think you are really doing a lot to make this system be a real help!!, and not just another "product launch" out there.


I am curious how fast with my experience level I'll be able to get cranking out sites.

Therefore Linda's experience gives a good orientation - thanks again.


SOMETHING TO THINK:

But now, during my calculation I came accross one point: to go ahead and make 50 blogs means buying 50 of the $5 domains ... IF I am lucky to get 50 GOOD domains at $5.
This is a domain investment of $250.... I know there is no biz w/o being prepared to invest.
But when starting out, that might be a lot, not knowin yet, how much the blogs will return.

If 50 blogs made $50 each, that would be $2,500.... so investing $250 should be a no-brainer.

Yet, will they really all convert in $50 per month?? Probably rather not.

And this is my beginner-concern right now.....
The beta-testers report having earned $150 - $600 with say 30 blogs?
This is not $50 income per blog yet...


My question to the experienced Mages:
Did you really break even in the first month? (domain costs vs. revenue)
And can I expect to really get good domains all at $5 each?

The main "consumption material" (allow me to call it like that), are domains!
A BUNCH of them is needed!

100 domains x $5 = $500!!
Could a webmastery-beginner manage to build 100 domains in one month?
and would they break even in the first 4-8 weeks?


This now is really a question of breaking even, e.g. if to speed things up I would buy CPmage the investments at the same time becomes SUPER HUGE, since with making hundreds of blogs fast, also means buying domains like mad.....


Just some brainstorming here ... appreciate every feedback.


Thanks!
Sanja

You are asking the same question as many others.

When I started, I bought several expired domains to get things going. They are earning more and more every day.

But, yes, they do get pricy while you wait for your earnings to increase.

So I started buying and using new domains, even cheap .info's. It strays from Greg's recommendations, but it was my only option. And they are doing fine, and earning more and more every week. After I have good money coming in, I will reinvest some of it back into buying more expired domains.

Work with what you have. Even if the new domains don't do AS well as the expireds, if you put up 100 sites/week, they will make you money.

And yes, it's VERY doable to put up 100 of these sites in a week. Even with new domains, or even just adsense, that's pretty awesome!

Oh wow, really 100 per week is realistic?

Actually I can imagine that, based on Greg said somewhere that 20 blogs in one afternoon are possible.
(And I don't mind the work, as long as it IS doable, and pays in the end.)

But I did not dare to even thik of 100 per week. I considered 100 per month may be a lot for a starter already.

Anyhow, thanks for sharing your experience, especially with .info!!! I wouldn't have dared to use them ;-)
I have some .infos, they have no PR but a considerable amount of backlinks on them, which might help to get started! THANKS FOR THAT TIP!!

Take care,
Sanja

Default Re: WP Mage Review Thread

oooooh - just another queston came into my mind.

Does it make sense to create say 5 or 10 blogs for the SAME niche?? With exact same OR very similar targeted keywords??

I mean, it is a numbers game, right?

And I cannot think of a reason why it would do any harm of doing 5 blogs for the same micro niche?
I assume the plug-ins soak in random articles, so the 2,000 blog posts will most probably NOT look totally identical on all blogs. Or am I wrong on that one??


Thanks

Why, we're all going to visit Greg in Thailand! I think I read on the Mage forum he is planning some kind of gathering of the mages.

I can see us now ... all with our magic capes on sitting around the campfire (at the Hilton) talking about how much money we've conjured up with the Mage.

Hi Everyone -

I have pretty much been 'out of the loop' for the last several weeks as my father passed away after a brief illness. Unfortunately, mom lives in Reno, and I live in Cincinnati, so this 'commuting' back and forth is playing havoc with my work schedule.

I was looking at WPMage before all of this happened, but missed the launch, and just signed up yesterday for the Adept, so this thread is really a great find!

I do a LOT with wordpress, and have just about everything that has been sold here for automating, autoblogging etc your blogs - what is the biggest advantage of MasterMage over the other programs and plugins?

Can anyone compare the CMage with maybe Edna Melendez's software (I think it is WPManager?)?

Also, does anyone know if the payment plan will be offered again when the doors open? Right now, the only option is lifetime for $997 - and after the expenses of this past month, that's going to be a stretch for my budget.

Thanks!

Melody

Melody, I don't use either of them, so don't take my word seriously but as far as I know, in shortest words, WP Mage is an IM system, a strategy, while WPManagerDX is just an automation tool. WP Mage is a series of plugins: Integrate all of the content from multiple sources (Articles, Flickr, YouTube, EPN, Clickbank, CJ.com, Yahoo Answers, and Amazon) into 1 single article, then create thousands of posts
that are back dated for as many years back as you want to spread them out by using an aged domain. WPManagerDX more like CPMage, can automate a serious of WP set up works: install wp, theme, plugin, seo, publish content from RSS and PLR, etc.

I really wish there will be coupon offered for WP Mage. $997 is really out of my budget for now.

Let's look at this realistically. I hear a few people here talking about throwing up hundreds of domains with the Mage and bam its gonna work.

Wrong. I am a long time auto blogger. I have tons of auto blogs. I have some that make me $10 per month and I have some that make me around $3000 per month.

Ussually, the blogs that I hurredly threw up are the ones that don't make me a lot of money. The exception to this is from my Adsense sites mostly, but those are always a shot in the dark.

The sites that make me money are the ones that have a good theme. Look professional. And you can't tell they are auto blogs.

Yes, I am a WP Mage Member and I highly recommend it because it automates a lot of tasks and more importantly, it combines content for each Post to make it a unique posting in its own right, and then you can make it somewhat more unique by changing the language of the text back and forth between english another language and then back to english again.

Creating a strategy which allows you to create a themed site with focus will result in more Affiliate Commissions. All you have to say to yourself is: Would I click on this?

I have actually incorporated phpBay and phpZon into my WP Mage sites because they produce better looking listings and they are 100% SEO Friendly. You have to spend money to make money.

I probably make more from 10 of my sites than most of the Mage Members who have 50 sites, strictly because I plan and implement a site strategy, a linking strategy, and a stats, evaluation, and tracking strategy.

If you don't know what is working, how can you duplicate it?

The thing I hate to see the most is people devaluing quality domains by slapping up crap sites fast with zero thought process. Think it through and yes, create 100 sites, but do it right and you will triple what you would have made otherwise.

Just my 2 cents.

Mike

Thank you for your reply earlier,cleared some things up for me. Increase from $797 to $997 is way out of my budget wright now,$multi payment sounds good. Meanwhile will check out adept mage. Can somebody pm me a link how a site will look like when using wpmage. Baldo

Thanks, Mike, for a great response! Sounds like we have similar work patterns here - I have a lot of autoblogging tools BUT I also spend the time to do a good looking site with original content on top of the automated parts.

My question is this: in going through the thread, most people seem to be using the term "WPMAGE" and not differentiating between the Master and the Adept portions.

MIke - and anyone else that wants to respond - are you using the Adept or the Master WPMage?

If you have WPManagerDX, PHPBay, various Amazon plugins, dupecontent or Uniquefier,. etc, etc (you get the picture - I have a lot of premium plugins and tools) does Master Mage add that much more to the mix?

Thanks!

As far as a WordPress Mage / Master Mage payment plan goes, it would seem to be a great idea for Greg to offer at least a couple of multiple payment options because many people just won't be able to swing a $997 lump sum.
Thank you for your kind words - it was honestly a shock as he was diagnosed initially with a mild heart attack - and we lost him 3 weeks later. I am the only surviving child and am no spring chicken at 55, so running back and forth across country is not fun.

So - right now, getting as much automated as possible is a priority, and if WPMage can make the current set-up easier, I am definitely interested.
