I buy many info products regularly to stay up to date on what's new in marketing methods. I have also sold many products by teaching seminars and through the internet. So I don't necessarily expect an earth-shattering product every time I buy one. However, if I find a few good ideas in each, it's worth it to me.

Last night, I was very intrigued by this product. I must say, copywriting was very good. The emotional appeal, the "proof," the promises made... It was a pleasure to read (I love good copywriting).

So I bought the product and stayed up late into the night to watch all the videos. And then... I was disappointed.

So here's my personal opinion about it.

I'll start with the fact that what is described in this course is a method to make money by marketing affiliate offers through paid mobile ads. Does this method work? Yes. Is it going to be growing bigger? Most likely. Is it going to make millionaires? Absolutely. Is it as easy as the sales letter says? NO WAY.

So what I'm trying to say is that while this course goes over a viable method of generating income, I have some major problems with how it was sold in the sales letter.

Let's look at some of the promises in the sales letter:

1. No guru knows about it and nobody teaches it
2. The secret back door to cell phones
3. Start making money in 10 minutes
4. You'll get amazingly cheap traffic

Promise #1 - no guru knows about it and nobody teaches it.

The first half of the sales letter spends a lot of time talking about all the gurus that are lying to us and evidently have no clue on how to make money in the mobile marketing arena.

Quote:
"The best part is - Nobody has a clue on how this incredible software works. So the gurus won’t even be able to figure this out."

The fact is, I've seen several courses starting back from spring of 2010 teaching the same method. In fact, I was recently reviewing a course called "mobile monopoly" and stumbled upon this thread. While I didn’t buy the mobile monopoly, in his thorough review, Martin Brock revealed many similarities between these two courses and many of the problems resulting from this method (for example, sending paid Admob traffic directly to affiliate offers).

In fact, inside the members area, there are several links to "additional training" which just happens to be another "guru" who gives out a ton of great video training for free because he has a mobile affiliate network (most people here probably know exactly who it is). His training shows you so much more for free than this paid training does.

Promise #2 - the secret back door to the cell phones.

Ok, this honestly is what made me write this review. I have never written a review that was not positive, but I had to in this case.

Quote from the sales letter:
"It took him hours to figure it out, but he discovered he’d accidentally coded a “back door” into the software that exists in every cell phone in the world . . .

If the cell phone companies actually ADMITTED that this “loophole” existed suddenly everybody would be taking advantage of it.

I mean, think about it. They spent BILLIONS of dollars creating the network and the software that handles all the data transfer and phone calls for the entire world.

If they actually admitted there was a HUGE FLAW in their software that some punk hacker could exploit they’d get sued into oblivion.

So they’re actually doing everything that can to cover their butts and keep anyone from finding out about this."

I mean, really?!

When you sign up for the service, you get the SMS messaging platform where you can buy keywords on a shared short code and then pay for text messages (at a rather high price, I must say). I have a white label of a different short code platform that is a lot more user friendly, capable and affordable. This is hardly a secret loophole that the cell phone companies would be sued over.

And are they really trying to "cover their butts" about sms marketing???

The second piece of software is the service that is sold separately (and for additional monthly fee) that allows you to create optin pages where a person has to send a text to get to the next page instead of typing in their email address. I can see how this could be a useful gadget, but it's hardly going to be a cause of ,xxxx earnings in the next month. It's a good piece of technology, but you still have to get the traffic to the page.

Promise #3 - start making money in 10 minutes

Quote from the sales letter:
"After about 10 minutes of easy set-up you’ll simply start up the Mobile Mass Money software and watch as the money starts rolling in on complete autopilot."

I beg to differ. The system shows you how to find affiliate offers on different networks, sign up for them (which most good ones will have to be approved), create mobile landing pages, create mobile and autoresponder text campaigns and then pay for mobile ads to drive traffic.

It will take longer than 10 minutes to accomplish all that, and more importantly, if you have ever promoted products, you would know that it's not that easy to create a great offer where you can convert leads in 35 characters on the text ad and couple sentences on the mobile landing page.

In fact, I have been in mastermind groups with some of the top internet marketers whose names are mentioned around this board all the time. Just last month, we had a meeting and were discussing our results from using mobile ad networks and so far they are nothing close to stellar or proven.

Again, is there money to be made? Absolutely.

But it's far from "push a button and make a ton in 10 minutes." It requires a lot of testing, tweaking and I hate to say "playing funds" to figure out what will work.

Promise #4 - the endless flood of cheap traffic

Quote:
"I knew it was going to cost me a fortune for all this traffic...
It was mind-blowing. $173.46
I got over 70,000 visitors for less than the cost of a few dinners out with the family!"

The course shows you how to get traffic at 1c-5c per click on AdMob. Even if you take the cheapest price, you are looking a $700 price (up to $3,500 price) for that traffic.

Additionally, if you plug in the methods in the course of sending your autoresponse message via text (at their 10c/message price), that would come up to another $7,000 just for a one time response to the 70,000 people.

Don't forget, all this is before you make a dime in sales.

Therefore, either something is not right about that math, or the author has forgotten to mention how to get the really cheap traffic.

Summary

While I believe that using paid mobile networks to drive cheap traffic to products is a great method of generating income and will only get bigger, this course fails to deliver the promises in the sales letter.

If you are not familiar with this concept, it will give you a good basis of how this method would work.

If this is your last $47 dollars, then keep them and don't spend your money because you will need to invest more to make this system work.

This playing field is for serious marketers who can afford to test, tweak and make it work, not for the guy who just lost his job and is trying to break into IM field.

Sorry for the long rambling.
