I will have to say that I was a little bit hesitant to buy this course because of the Internet Tax signed into law here in Illinois yesterday. But, at the last minute, I bought this course + the upsell and I can honestly say this course is fantastic.

I've watched the first few vids and learned a thing or two and can't wait to go through the rest.

For those of you wondering, the upsell is an article rewriter and outsourcing course for $67.

Last but not least I want to thank Andrew Hansen for reassuring me that there is more than one way to skin a cat (Amazon dropped us, but there are a ton of other networks waiting to pick us up)!

Well I think I should add my two cents worth here.
I do not know what is going on with this product launch.
They are - were - having problems with the website Thursday.
March 10th 2011.
I was able to purchase product finally, after trying most of the day -
multiple times thru out the day.

Hi Gmac

I happen to know that Matt has been having some issues with his server....this can happen to anyone on a launch and is just one of those things I'm afraid.

This is no reflection on Matt though who I know to be an ethical stand up guy.

Also, I work as a VA and have been on the front line of a support desk during a launch and I can tell you from experience that things get really busy, and especially with a server being down everyone just floods the support desk like lemmings.

I would advise you to be patient, I'm sure the support team and Matt are doing all they can to resolve these issues and it's just a matter of you being somewhere down the line :-)

I have no regrets buying Rapid Profit Formula. Matt Carter seems to have found a way to "force" Google to rank new websites on 1st page of Google without much backlinking efforts. There are tons of videos by Matt showing step by step on how to achieve this.

However, the keyword research method seems to be a bit weak since almost all internet marketers having been doing the same thing, so it's difficult to find a highly searched keyword phrase and yet having low competition.

If you try to be a bit creative in doing keyword research, you will have a higher chance of finding the "golden" keywords, by looking at newspaper, magazines, infomercials or even Oprah TV programs.

stephenspry

You are totally MIS-representing Matt's product here!

Matt makes no hyped claims of "forcing" Google to rank new websites... particularly "without much backlinking efforts"!

In fact, Matt's message is that LOTS of different backlinks are needed to rank well, and he does provide a good selection of videos to demonstrate this. There certainly IS some effort in what he tells you to do!

Matt's demonstration on how to use the Google keyword tool is actually one of the better ones I have seen... Your comment implies this section of his course was "weak". Incorrect.

Yes, keyword research can be hard - but NOT because "all internet marketers having been doing the same thing"! You make it sound like we've used up all the good words that Google has... something I very much doubt.

Yes, you do have to be a little creative at times to find keywords...

BUT...

Thomas, this is the 4th time in this thread you've attempted to "creatively" bring up your bonus offer of lists of niche keywords you have supposedly "discovered" ...

Now... considering Matt's product does NOT mention your lists, and this is a "review" thread about his product... I am just flabbergasted at your continued attempts to take over this thread!

How many more times must the mods delete your posts before you get the message?

I bought it with Paypal.

I also bought this and went through it. Matt Carter is always very good, I always get some really great tips from him on how to do great SEO and also some good tips in other departments as well.

I think this course would be perfect for many people who are just getting started with SEO. It gives a very good overview of how to do competitive link building and choose good products to promote, as well as set up your websites so that they convert.

Check it out for sure, it gets my stamp of approval.

Kevin McNally

A friend of mine purchased this and I would agree it's a solid course. It is mainly aimed at beginners but if you don't know much about wordpress you will also pick up some decent tips including Matt's theme.

The videos are very professional and clear and I like his style. If you are just starting out building websites and finding niches then this course will be perfect as it takes you through step by step.

KenJ

This is an interesting thread to me.

I bought it just for the free wordpress theme that Matt provides. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it.
I am a total cheapskate and got in for a $1 week trial but will happily pay the remainder in a few days. - Just For The Theme

The wordpress theme has a couple of features that I wanted but the main one is being able to select a different sidebar image and aff link for every post. Just brilliant!

I have also gone through half the course and set up a site using the theme with no problems.

Now back to backlinking

Mite aswell add my pennys worth. i already knew this program was going to help people i was just figuring out how i could fit this in to my ways. so i paid for it!! well. for a new starter- you will have to do your own research on afew bits likle FTP filezilla. and a few more. the good thing about the internet or youtube its all on there just type what your looking for. as matt says. (not word for word) if you can find the answer to your own question by searching the internet you will do GREAT.(rather than always asking). that has stuck in my head. the theme is amazing.. i will say that again. amazing. i guess the only neg on the program for new pps would be the keyword searching. the only advice i will give is really listen to what matt says about if its a product that has different models rather that 1 product no other models.

at the mo im testing it on my sister she hasnt got the foggest abot IM. see how she gets on. will keep everyone posted whoever whats to know.

bottem line. information is great. advance info is great. looking forward to making more money on this.

kakaboo

Actually you didn't have to buy the course just for the theme... just opt-in to his list and he will give it for free after a few emails...(think after a few weeks)

garywynder

At last, I see a proper opportunity here to contact you directly, Matt Carter! I previously tried to email you but you didn't get back to me contrary to your claims that you always check your emails each morning . . .

Well, for me it's come to a point where I am now "spoilt for choice" regarding which marketer's physical product course to "go for" because I've now got this narrowed down to my idea of an internet marketing "holy trinity":

I've been thinking about three different possibilities here: The first one is you, and your Rapid Profit Formula. . . The second one would be Adam Short and his own recent offering (course) which you recommended. . . And the third one would be Mark Ling and his affilorama offering. . . Anyway. . .here goes:

What appeals to me about all three of you is that you all clearly seem to
share my own personal ethics and principles and values about internet marketing and that you are all giving away some really great, pretty high quality and well-detailed instructional content about how to create decent and profitable looking websites as well as how to be able to successfully market physical products, (with a complete absence of any bull**** or hype), and you all strike me as being truly very honest and ethical marketers who like to over-deliver on value and quality and not just waste anybody's time or take their money for worthless garbage in pursuit of a fast buck like some of the jokers out there who I could put a name to!

Marketers like you three, (to me), are a real breath of fresh air, and I'm so impressed by your free videos (Matt Carter) that I am going to now invest my own personal time and attention into taking an in-depth look at your Rapid Profit Formula course, partly because you impress me with your honesty and your generosity and partly because I am an Amazon associate already but I don't know how to really best monetize this yet and I see you as being the type of step by step teacher I've been looking for to learn about this particular field of internet marketing: Amazon products.

I also follow, (and actually know personally quite well now at first hand) one other internet marketer who is very popular and very highly respected indeed, by the name of Chris Farrell, and I subscribe to his membership as an active and happily paying member - for the simple reason that he is one truly AWESOME Dude who absolutely and flat out REALLY knows his stuff about internet marketing, (but maybe not quite so much about physical products from Amazon, as well as you obviously do, though). . . So I am now going to add your teachings about this area of internet marketing to my own personal knowledge-base, Matt Carter. . . . So, wish me well! . . . This is Gary Wynder from the UK, signing off. . . .

Matt's been pretty good about responding to me via emails. I have his course and very much like it. I did a pretty detailed youtube review showing the members area and everything, his site has no fluff- and A-LOT of content and knowledge to be had.

Good product, I recommend it highly.

Jeff

garywynder

Thanks for that Jeff: It's always good to get someone else's perspective and opinion on something like this - by which I mean someone who has already tried it out and found it to be highly recommendable purely for its own sake.
I am looking forward to checking out this course of Matt's for myself, real soon.

pcdoctor

I was wondering if anyone has purchased this within recent weeks or months? I am considering purchasing it, but one thing that concerns me is the fact that if you look at the bottom where the copyright year is, it says 2010. To me, that tells me something isn't getting updated anymore or that the project is abandoned.

georgiel

Not so! I got an email out of the blue from Matt Carter the other day, saying:

Just wanted to let you know, due to all the changes in Google over the past 12 months, I've changed the way I build my affiliate sites now, and hence the way I teach it also.

Therefore I have been through the entire Rapid Profit Formula course and updated 80% of the videos in there, to reflect what I believe to be a better and sustainable way to build profitable affiliates sites.

I encourage you to watch the videos again when you have time, as the old style of product name review sites is not as profitable as it used to be, however there is still plenty of opportunity if you follow the new method I outline.

Excellent customer service. I'm impressed!

Hope that helps.

xxxJamesxxx

I'm impressed. Normally it be an excuse to wheel out a new version, slap a "2.0" next to it and resell it to his old customers.

I did purchase the course recently and some things have been updated for sure. I'm sure he will continue to keep us updated if things change.

neil_patmore

I bought the course when it was first released. It 'was' good, but became outdated whith all the changes that have happened over the past 12 months.

I've Just been through the updated course from cover to cover and all I can say is WOW! Matt has updated the course almost completely with bang up to date information.

Hats off to Matt. This is virtually a new course which could easily have been sold as a new course. But Matt gives it out as a free update.

This has truly given a tired course a new lease of life and has once again made Rapid Profit Formula one of the best Affiliate Marketing Courses currently available.

dsbusiness23

Matt Carter is an incredible marketer. However I feel that his newest update to the course about Google changes deserve quite a discussion. He basically teaches to avoid many of the well known on page SEO tactics. Of course SEO is always changing but bolding and italicizing keywords has always been one of the strategies that worked.

What do you all think? Are you changing your websites based on Matt's new recommendations? If you haven't do you think we will have to soon.

Finally what about the rumor that Google is going to have manual reviewers controlling everything soon?

bjking

I agree. Also Matt goes into greater depth covering SEO. This course is geared towards beginners/intermediate internet marketers

dublindawn

I got a video course belong to Matt Carter last year on physical products, it taught me a lot and thus improved my sales, his methods made since and were easy to implement

dublindawn

With the number of sites out there they would need a lot of reviewers

Simin

Yeah, it will cost China continent's people to manual review all website in the world... Not make sense...

btw: I am very respect to Matt Carter. He is the trusted person in IM.

A -lot- has changed in SEO. Sure, it's always changing somewhat, but over the last year there have been game-changing, profound changes. It's not even a case of whether some things still work. If you aren't on top of where things are now, you risk everything from losing rankings on pages, to whole sites dropping, to losing Adsense accounts, to being de-indexed. Those things were possible before; now they're increasingly commonplace without an understanding of these 'new rules'.

I know Matt, and have worked with him closely in recent months.

I can say without hesitation, he's one of the sharpest and most honorable marketers I know.

I've been through all his offerings, and can again say without hesitation, they're some of the best on the market. His free course is as good or better than most paid courses.

Rapid Profit Formula is one of the best affiliate marketing courses I know of, certainly the best for selling physical products.

We're ULTRA careful about recommending ANYTHING to our customer list or on our forum - courses, software, memberships, etc. In fact, in almost 2 years, we've recommended only half-a-dozen products. Rapid Profit Formula is one of those very few recommendations.

I am also on his list and the blog posts are all very useful and full of information. I think his products are so good as well.
