Anyone tried this CB product?

Is it yet more nonesense appealing to the desparate and/or lazy or does it have any real value?

Anyone using it?

    Same question here -
    Anytime someone starts talking about ghosts and internet marketing - makes me a little nervous

        I woke up to 20 emails in my box about it. And then some guy yelling "STRIPPERS...PORN STARS..." before I had my coffee.

        Not a good start for a Monday morning.

          So I'm not quite sure when Commission Maniac launched, I received my first email at 7:00 my time and clicked less than an hour later. Since I couldn't handle the "STRIPPERS...PORN STARS...", I clicked out and of course, got the exit page that wouldn't let me leave (I hate those) and an offer for a "FREE" traffic boosting system.

          OK...I bit. Signed up to check it out.

          And guess what? I received the following email:

          "Due to huge demand all free trials
          of the Commission Maniac Console
          have been taken.

          Sorry you missed out.
          "

          Then it goes on to try to sell me on the system again.

          I once more clicked on the link then out of the page to see if it'd been taken down and nope...it was still up.

          So in my opinion, this is bait and switch. What a nasty technique to use. (Again, my opinion).

          When will we return to the great, entertaining, Gary Halpert kind of copy writing that grabbed me, sold me and made me grab my credit card instead of hanging onto my wallet?

            Hi Chazz
            Unfortunately it seems as though it has all gone the way you describe
            All I want (and it's not a big ask) is to find a good free traffic system that takes some work (I don't mind that) but you know it WILL work and deliver the kind of traffic that you need - Instead of trying one thing after another and wasting too much time along the way!

              Hi Kevin,

              I assume you're already looked at the 2 "Traffic Dashboards" - one by Kim Roach, the other by Marlon Sanders.

              They have some subtle differences (I own both) but each has a ton of ways to get traffic....albeit with a bit of work. They're not "systems" in the software sense, but both have a systematic approach, giving steps to getting traffic.

                I have Sanders traffic dashboard. It works because it is based in sound principles of article marketing and outsourcing. As for Commission Maniac
                has anyone tried it? Its selling through CB so you can easily get a refund. Do we need a guinea pig?

                    Great- the only problem is that even though its a CB product this is a very very limited offer

                    Last time I looked there were only something like 152 left ( I forget the exact figure). So Neromancer will get in, make all that easy cash, report back on how fantastic this is but by then it will be too late for us to cash in- it'll be all sold out.

                    Sound familiar?

                    Is there anyone that will admit to having bought this? Out of curiosity I'd like to know whats inside.Such slick sales copy/production always makes you have a lingering doubt about whether we're missing out. But we all know if it sounds too good to be true....

                  The sales pitch follows a very familiar formula:

                  1. Have you been scammed? I have, and believe me I hate those guys.
                  2. Don't believe anyone who tries to sell you push button software. It's all a scam and doesn't work.
                  3. By the way, let me tell you about these guys I just happened to bump into at a football match / casino / _________ (fill in blank) who showed me some amazing, er, push button software which you can have for just $$$ :rolleyes:

                    You know what? I made a great living last year using sensible, trusted and tried and true marketing methods. What never ceases to amaze me is that all the work that goes into this kind of crap. If you provide good content, genuinely help people, research stuff and make sure it does what it says it will, you will be wildly successful. Still I am sick of this kind of ripoff trash. Thank you to those who bought this to save us the same nightmare.

                      After watching the sales video and going thru the upsells/downsells et al. I immediately went and unsubscribed from EVERY person that sent me a link to this. In fact a couple of the emails came from marketers that I respected and are 'valued' members of this forum.

                      I am over this crap. Not only have I unsubscribed, I have created a 'blacklist' and will never resubscribe or purchase a product from anyone on my blacklist again.

                        Hi AUKev,

                        I can relate to your feelings on this. They are so damn annoying.Why don't they try go and mess up some other industry. Leave IM to the ethical, honest marketers building long term relationships and businesses.
                        However, I don't as a rule unsubscribe ( sometimes the temptation is impossible to resist I know)
                        Its just that sometimes its good to know what these people are up to. Just don't buy from them.

                        I did the exact same thing - am thinking about creating a public blacklist - kinda like a website or page that lists all the jokers and contrasts them with those that offer value.

                      I couldn't agree more. Providing good, free content that people can actually benefit from is the way to go. Most of these "so-called gurus" are simply out to make a quick buck with the latest hyped-up "push-button" software.

                      I'm sick of hearing about all of this crap too. I've unsubscribed to so many autoresponders for this exact reason.

            Yep. Just another ploy to get a sucker excited or curious or both, then slam them hard with a "sold out" bait and switch message... only to offer another last chance offer... and continue pitching as long as they have your email addy.

            Folks, these hardsell pitches sound just like a car salesman making
            a sale to an unsuspecting customer. By the way, stats show over 85% of
            all people who drive onto a car lot to take a "look" end up driving off the lot with a new car through their hardsell methods. I'm seeing the same trends here on the web especially as of late.

            BAHAHAHA!!! So true. Omg...

            Well, after so many of these, watching the video, coming back to the Warrior Forum and reading the first person who bought it, I have come to the conclusion that:

            All software is Wordpress site creation/autoblog/backlink/commenting software.

            If you want good software that will get you traffic fast, buy tweet attacks. Then buy accounts. Then buy proxies.

            But it's STILL work.

            But it would be nice to make $400,000,000,000 dollars online. Heck, I could take the USA out of debt with that money.

            Now, back to work everyone... nothing to see here.

          I'm trying to get through the video right now. So far, it sounds like any other video sales page that's been coming out of Clickbank of late.:rolleyes:

    Sounds just like all the other recent scam launches designed to appeal to those looking for easy, lazy, and greed in people and the newbies who are too trusting. When it sounds too good to be true, then it is too good to be true. Why would ANYONE dilute the effectiveness of their secret "code" by selling it to as many suckers as possible for a few bucks a pop? I think it is about time we, as a group, contact the FTC regarding these scam launches of late and put them out of business... and continue putting them out of business until they get the message.

    Isn't it funny, one kind of lives in hope of finding that rare offer like this that is genuine and that it might just be the one where someone genuinely wants to give a break to those who are desperate to make a buck, let alone thousands.

    I was almost tempted to buy it and see what it was like, then get an immediate refund if it was the usual rubbish and lies, but I'm starting to get more refunds than purchases that I hold onto through ClickBank and don't want to get blacklisted for too many refunds.

    I no longer give a product the benefit of the doubt, if it purports to be something it isn't I just get a refund. Hopefully enough people will do this and things will change, but I'd guess there are so many newbies (I'm not much more than that!) that this kind of marketing will always work.

    It would be interesting to hear back from anyone who has bought this, although the marketing techniques pretty much scream scam you can never be completely sure until you see the product ... would be nice to be surprised :-)

      Someone must have come up with the idea of using "Commission" and since using the word might be useful, a whole bunch of others thought of using it also. My first exposure was "Commission Crusher" followed by "Commission Worm",then on and on. For me, I might use "Commission Trash" or something similar. This could lead to all kinds of fun; maybe we should have a contest for the most original "Commission (use your creativity)

    Second... the upsells are annoying...
    - there is one $147 upsell/$47 downsell to a protégé coaching
    - one OTO to a software to automate the process
    - one $49/month (donwsell to $4.95 month) to a Elite Club with website templates, ready made campaigns... and so on.
    - one $77 upsell/$27 downsell to a CM Traffic Bullet Software.

    In The core software the Commission Money Console there are a few "must watch" videos about how to: download the software, find a compatible zip program, unzip the software... (really newbie friendly... or stupid friendly)

    There is a ton of videos about IM resources (some are really useful)

    There are some pdf's that looks like there are extracted from Info Product Killer, but nothing about How to use the software, even though is pretty intuitive for an experience marketer, newbies will get lost... or perhaps I missed the "This is how to use the Commission Maniac Console" manual.

    The software seems to be a wordpress installer with autoblog capabilities and autolinks and keyword research and... I didn't have much time today to give it a test drive and post a full review, but as soon as I can I'll do it.

    There are some pdf's that looks like there are extracted from Info Product Killer, but nothing about How to use the software

    Looks promising... yet I can't rush into conclusions to say if is good or crap.

    The 'console' basically creates sites for you at the push of a button, adds content in the form of articles and videos (apparently creates unique articles, I will report back with the quality).

    The site is already monetized you just need to add your affiliate ID's etc.

    The software automatically creates backlinks for you - by creating forum profiles . .

    It's late here in the UK, will try and have a play around tomorrow and report back!

    p.s, get ready to watch, videos, loads of them!

    I was looking for something to review and bought it despite the horrible video. The upsells really annoyed me but I paid for the console and the downsell for protege coaching. With VAT it cost around £72 altogether which I have no problem with if something is good.

    You are told you are going to get 10 free money making websites but they are just those hosted affiliate sites from Home Website Center that are free for anybody but you can upgrade to the pro service and search engine submission etc.

    I went through the welcome videos and they stopped after the one that shows you how to use the console to set up a website. There was I wanting to try it out and I didn't have any more instructions, so my earlier annoyance at the upsells caught up with me and I asked for refunds.

    Whoops, afterwards I took another look around the site and found some more training videos. Lots of them giving some good basic advice for newbies, but I can't find the logical one to follow on from the one showing how the console uploads a website.

    Taking a good look at it I don't see anything special, it looks like an auto blogging system where you spin the content and I don't want or need either. There is a get backlinks button but I can't find an explanation as to where from. I suspect profile links but I'd rather not.

    Maybe I should have waited and tried it out more before claiming a refund, which is unusual for me. But I didn't see anything different and to be honest I was half expecting another upsell to jump out at me while I was on the site.

    Not for me but the training videos and PDFs might be worth the cost for newbies.

      Seems to me the money is better spent with SENuke x an amazing product that does all of this and ten times more; still I am intrigued to see if yet again this is just overhype and upsell bait and switch. . .

    Frankly, this just has to stop, I am sooo tired of watching these offers, they don't truly offer anything over and above, you get your hopes up, and then you buy it, work on it for days or many, many hours at least, just to find out, that ok - it kind of works but had you put all that time into doing what you are supposed to be doing(and you know what I mean) you'd be way ahead. Anyone, with a proven system that brings in cash without hardly any work, will not share it with us, unless its all used up, or close to being hammered down by Google or something. Besides, any such system is risky, and I guess if you are willing to throw all your good work down the drain, then be my guest, but I would not touch stuff like this with a ten foot pole.

      yup... couldn't agree more.

      I've got a couple systems that're prolly super temporary, and no I wouldn't share them. It'd probably just make them close up faster. Just being honest. As far as LEGITIMATE, LONG-TERM online income, yeah, those methods are out there. And I'm doing those TOO. They've been written, they're floating around in PLR's, they're on blogs, they're in this forum!

      Never put all your eggs in one basket.

      I think what takes us so long to finally "make it" online, is the amount of time it takes us to realize the truth:

      Making money online is a business. It's real. It's not easy. It requires WORK, FOCUS and DEDICATION.

      Yes, we hear it. But the amount of time it takes, to become our reality, the truth we really believe, is precisely the amount of time it will take to break through. Otherwise, we won't make it. Ever.

      Any loophole for sale has already been closed, my peeps.
      It's a perpetual spiral. Getting sucked in is easy. Breaking the habit - that's the trick. This is why I envy noobs. They don't have any conditioning or habits. They're in LEARN mode and they'll do any amount of work to make it. And I just wanna GRAB em and tell em, look THIS is the way you do it. Don't look at the CRAPPPPP.

      Peace.

    Sigh Not another one.

    Easy money? not possible - you might want to try a Lottery?

    "Golden Goose For Sale" - yeah, right.

    If such "Magic Code" did exist, do you honestly think anyone would sell it?

    "I just want to help you" - pffff.

    Too many words - I did not have the sound on - too many spelling mistakes
    and errors of grammar.

    A decent product does not need hype.

    "Empty vessels make most noise."

    If it's not offered here in this Forum, be mighty suspicious.
    Stronger than that! don't bother.

    Immediate up-selling always rings alarm bells.

    Hi Guys,

    Ok, I bought it. Can't really comment on it's merit, because the videos won't play past one minute for me lol.

    I can't find any resemblance to:

    "Just (can't remember the first bit), insert a tiny piece of code, get your affiliate link and start the console"

    But I'll give the benefit of the doubt seeing I couldn't watch the videos. All I do know is that one of the later videos starts by saying something like "Now, let's get our content"

    I really think these kind of sales letters appeal to those who suffer from "Aliceitis". You may not have heard of it before, but it's a disease I have given a name to (I certainly didn't invent it lol), and coined from a line that's used by Alice in Wonderland that simply says:

    "curiouser and curiouser"

    Must admit, my finger was hovering over the refund button even before I got to the member's area. It's kinda got something to do with checking your address line while you're going through the process, and it reads "domainname.com/oto-4.html".

    Anywayz, I'm off to get a refund.

    Someone before mentioned about being worried about being blacklisted as a refunder? Do you not think this is more of a reflection on the crap we're being presented with, rather than any fault of ours?

    IMHO, with what is being dished up lately, I think there's a pretty darn good case to argue.... don't you?

    For what it's worth, I've been on the internet hamster wheel for around 4 years. I buy these products to review and, if they're good, I'll keep 'em (my ethics won't let me do otherwise). I've found myself refunding more in the last 6 months than I have in the last 4 years.

    I really would've liked the chance to review this product properly - but if I can't get the "must watch" videos to work, it's no cigar. Suppose I could persevere, but they've caught me on one of my "can't be bothered" days..... my family call me the Queen of Little Patience lol....

      Somehow I identify with that

      I've bought several Clickbank products to review recently and haven't found one that I can realistically praise, use or honestly promote and I only usually buy products that might be useful to me. This is only the second product that I've asked for a refund though, I didn't get the download link for the last buy and after several ignored emails to the vendor I'd had enough.

      With this video I was curious, the Yorkshire accent, it was so absurd it made me laugh and perhaps it evoked thoughts of the old song 'Patricia the stripper'.

      Maybe if the vendor of commission maniac laid out what the product was in the sales video instead of going to such extremes I wouldn't have asked for a refund, just written it off to experience.

      Anyway I got my refund, but I might spend the money on treating myself instead of buying another Clickbank dud.

    I don't understand why marketers need to resort to lying in their sales message. Three "ghost" kids with Lamborghinis who give their proprietary software to him and now he decides to sell it, sounds like a lawsuit lol

    Basically if I had a do it all software (and maybe I do, or maybe I don't) there's no way I'd give it away to anyone, if it worked as good as these "marketers" claim, why sell it for $50? I tell you what, if you want a copy of my software that makes me $30-50k a month without doing a lot, you can have a copy of it for $250k ... deal?

      Why ... that sounds ... logical!
      Sell something that is making you money for a price that is appropriate for its value! I totally agree with your take - WTF all the way with these types of products - Ghost Kids with software skills are the Best!

      Related to what you mentioned, and No joke here, I had a friend who had a pizza business that was making him the type of money that you mention in your post (on a monthly basis), and he sold it for 2.5 million.

      I think i am going to go ahead with a rating/grading site for these types of products - enough is enough.

      What do you guys think of the name Vendorgrader.com?

    Terrible, terrible software... And part of a growing trend with some of these hucksters - they find some guy who has a product, they use their "name" as the front man for the product so that all of their huckster friends will "reciprocate" for them (ie. spam us) and then when you get inside the product you're dealing with someone else entirely.

    Craig Kaye is walking a fine line on this one because in his Super Duper Elite upsell group he clearly says you'll be dealing with him personally and get his personal email address, etc... Then once you buy, they pull the bait and switch and you get "access" to the other guy behind the product who we've never heard of. That's deceptive advertising from where I stand.

    The thing that I didn't understand is that you get into the base product, there's like five or six videos telling you how to unzip the product and silly stuff like that, but I couldn't find the video telling you how to work the console. And the videos kept saying, "Oh don't worry about those fields" or "That error page is normal, you should be seeing that."

    What a load of rubbish - HANDLE YOUR ERRORS! If the screen is meant to sit there and say "site not found" spend the fifteen minutes it would take to throw up a CUSTOM PAGE for your newbie customers.

    What's making me sick about all of these "software" products that these muppets are releasing is that they have absolutely no background in software so some of the very simple first principles of delivering something workable to the end user never happens.

    I refunded the lot - it worked out as very EXPENSIVE. You could have been up for $300 or so in once offs and then another $100/mth in recurring billings.

    It has gotten ridiculous with all these clickbank launches. The relationship among these gurus has really gotten incestuous. "You promote my garbage, and I'll promote your garbage. Fortunately, it appears Clickbank has started cleaning up the garbage as 2 major recent launches "Viral Profit Code" and "Easy Click Commissions" have moved to the Plimus platform.
