Hello,

I like Chris Rempel and got an email from him recommending Project Green Button by Daniel Turner and Marc Lindsey. They are the creators of PLR Pro that is a good service apparently.

I have gathered the following points after reading the sales letter

1) The service costs 147 dollars per month going up to 197 dollars after some more modules are added.

2) It automates content creation (with PLR articles), link building, site building (for newbies like me who do not know programming), keyword generation and more.

3) Hence it saves time - about 90% of the work of building and marketing the site is done for you.

It sounds good and as I said earlier I like Chris Rempel. This seems to fit my plan of building conduit sites. But I would like the experience of people who have used either this service or PLR Pro.

Thanks in advance

Nikhil

PLR Pro provides good quality articles. Daniel and Marc are obsessed with good service and you couldn't work with better people.

However, what worries me about PGB is that it makes it far too easy for people to make sites and that there will be hundreds of very similar sites out there.

This won't happen if people take the time to rewrite the articles they get before pressing that green button. However, I suspect most people will take the easy option.

I'd like to hear some more feedback as well. I am seriously considering this. Not because it makes things easy, but because it will save hours of time on the monotonous tasks. It looks like much much more than a push button site builder. But it isn't cheap so i'd like to hear from others. Maybe Chris has some more input?

I was a member of PLR Pro for about two years, but ended my membership earlier this year due to lack of time (and cash). I did just recently rejoined what is now called PGB. They've added a lot of killer features, including RSS tools, social bookmarking and Article Marketing Automation -- which is a $47 a month service by itself.

Regarding your comment above, I agree mostly but choose to look at it differently. Rewriting the articles is critical, and the PGB creators, Marc and Daniel, strongly encourage everyone to do this. No system on the planet will ever be able to effectively completely automate unique content generation. They do (or will) have tools to assist you in rewriting and spinning content, but the best results will always require some elbow grease.

To me thats a good thing...the lazy people will just throw up sites and content unchanged and get mediocre results. Doing a little rewriting work or outsourcing this will separate you from everyone else.

But most of the hard, repetitious work is automated with this system...i.e. the site building, bookmarking, linking, article marketing, monetization, etc.

pearsonbrown

That's a very good point about AMA.

That really is an outstandingly good program and worth $50 a month. Getting it 'for free' with the PGB is a huge bonus.

One other factor to consider is that the sites being built are html sites and not blog sites. I find I consistently get better results with Wordpress sites so, even though I've been building html sites for 10 years, I rarely build them these days.

If you are hesitant about signing on, I would encourage you to do so. These people really care about what they do, provide excellent support, have a forum with two or three first rate regulars who give great advice for free and will give you a no-quibble refund if you don't like it.

But please promise me that you will rewrite your articles before you press the green button ;-)

Pearson

nikhilg

Thanks for all your inputs - especially Pearson.

I have signed up after reading these posts and am hoping to make some money.

By the way the sales letter says that they will be including modules and training (and perhaps software) on putting up wordpress sites some time soon. I hope it comes quickly

Nikhil

Russell Mangel

Yep I've grown to really love Wordpress too. Remember that part of one of the modules they are rolling out in 2009 is building Wordpress sites! Either as stand-alone sites or attached to your existing HTML sites...very cool and I can't wait for that option.

naonline

Thanks for you feedback guys. I think you've swung it for me too.

I was thinking about PGB...but here is how I am looking at it right now

I can get article post Robot for $127($87 with coupon)

RSS Bot for $7(BIg Mike has a WSO going)

Social Bot For $27

And I can use wordpress which is free. Since the above is a one time fee, I can use that $147 per month to purchase unique content that I don't have to re-write which will save me gobs of time and I will still be able to do all of the things PGB does for the most part

Am I missing something?

Not saying PGB is bad...I am just really looking at the price tag on this one

ildarius

I`m a member of PGB, it`s new so there are some kinks they trying to iron out, but it looks very good. Once I fully test their service (and all kinks are fixd) if all is like it`s described I`ll be dropping the other services for this one.

Compared to other places, there are no restrictions, you can promote web-sites that are outside of the PGB network and their customer service gets a 5 star rating from me. Very personalized approach, no outsourced helpdesk nonsense with barely readable English there, that`s for sure.

My 2 cents, hope it helps

jrsencio

These guys are known for the quality behind their products.

However I may just pass on this, since it would really turn out to be cheaper in the long run if I ...

- put up my own wordpress sites, on my own servers on different IPs
- have my own content written
- get my own bookmarking softwares (posts and rss)
- make the most of the blog networks I already belong to (including their own - PGB - network), where I can also syndicate my own content on their sites and build backlinks to mine

About two years ago I used the WordPress strategy they were teaching and got several first page and number 1 rankings for competitive keywords.. and their content is one of the best, if not the best. It can only be second to your own content that you do the research for then have written by your own ghostwriters.

nikhilg

I suppose experienced Internet Marketers who know where to go shopping and do not need training or hand holding can save a lot of money and do everything - that PGB does - themselves.

According to the sales letter PGB will also be telling you what long tail keywords to optimize for and will be letting you know what products to promote. I think your choice of products to promote is important because what you ideally want to be doing is finding out what people are already buying and then selling it to them.

Just my two cents.

Nikhil

chris_surfrider

I see PGB as being ideal for people who don't have the tech know-how to do all this themselves - as well as those who just want to have a centralized platform for "getting sites out there" over and over again.

It's good for intermediates or beginners (who "get it") and have capital.

It's far from a magic pill, but I think it does a good job of going after targeted organic affiliate promotion.

Sort of like "SiteSell lite", but with an emphasis on product sales rather than "passion" (which is more profitable), and a better interface for SEO and backlinks.

You can use your results from your network of mini-sites to then decide where to invest efforts into building actual authority sites, product dev, etc.

How is the AMA ranking system? Is it better than Linkvana?

ildarius

AMA is currently not working, at least for me

Linkvana is a bit different, in AMA it's the individual blog owners who decide if they want to approve your posts or not (unless they have the option "auto accept" enabled)

saulyd

What if down the road you wanted to sell a site or 2?? Is that allowed?

Cheers!

vuedoolor

So what PGB provide is all the hard work of getting keywords and putting up your site and building backlinks for you while you tie your hands behind your back? Am I understanding this correctly??

jrsencio

I like this particular feature about AMA, a blog owner can decide to accept or reject an article, especially if the article is not unique and you are informed beforehand to what extend (percentage) the article was modified to make it unique. However as of late, AMA has some tech issues that they are working on.

Pretty much and more....

Bai_Mike

From what I can gather from the salesletter, it seems to provide a lot of automation to the site by including rss feeds submission and etc.

Also, by providing PLR articles, it makes the job much easier. However, it does seem that basic writing skills and spinning content suitably for a niche that you have an inkling on, or have some knack to start learning on, is absolutely necessary instead of relying fully on it to do the work for you, or otherwise, content might not be sensible to buyers.

Bai_Mike

Are the sites hosted locally on their servers or are they attached to hosting accounts?

And also it would be interesting to know if it is viable for building authority sites for long term income.

jrsencio

Spot on... automation and tools in general and not only in the case of PGB are meant to help us accomplish something faster, however you do need to have to some basic skills or an understanding of the principle behind it so you know why this does what and why.

Knowing these guys, they have got that covered with the kind of info and training material they offer.

goingup

Anyone know how to contact them? I have a few questions about this.

hgse83

Can anyone recommend good software for getting RSS feeds to your blog? I have heard about RSS to Blog and RSS Content Generator but don't know about their quality.

Thanks,
Caroline

membership site: $147/month
domains: $110 for 11 niches/month
hosting maintainance: $25/month
task: super tedious (breaking off your finger) as 440 articles rewriting jobs meaning 13 articles rewriting per day
total cost involve in 12 months: $3384

optional: SEO of $800/month

income objective: $2000 up to $6000 within 12 months

other consideration: managing domain, site design, bringing in traffic, further outsourcing, blablabla...whatever you can think of

though i hate to say this: monstrous, unmanageable and total a** (newbies stay away and not good for those who want to become LAZY SUPER AFFILIATE)

it would be better if i spend my time focusing on dominating 1 specific niche at a given time only; setting up my goal and strive to it

now, now, i know they have lots of fans here (feel free to attack me) but I'm just giving my humble, humble opinions. Tell me, do you use ALL of their given resources. I solute you if you even work on 50% out of it.

and this falls down to my motto: "Work smarter, not harder"

Neil S

Can anyone chime in yet on how this service has worked for them?

sunnyman

Well, from what I've seen so far: reminds me of the old saying that those who really made money during the gold rush were those who sold tools to the gold diggers - not the gold diggers themselves...

ildarius

Yep, as a matter of fact I've got an update.
Their AMA started working finally, I'm starting to see links now

Can't confirm the PR, but a link is a link

msquared

It looks very intersting to me too but I would also like to see more feedback from people who have actually used it.

Rudy Dhondt

Let's calculate a bit here:

If you would earn $2000/month, which is the least, that would be a nice $24,000/year

Minus your calculations: $24,000-$3384=$20,616 profits.

And those $800 for SEO seems like grabbing a bit too high to me. SEO is built in the software + the free AMA membership.

Well, that looks like a good investment to me :-)

manzilla911

I just purchased PGB and let me tell you I'm very very upset. I wish I new that it was still in development .

pearsonbrown

What do you mean that you have no way to get help?

Log into Project Green Button - Site Automation. Content Automation. Traffic Automation... At The Push Of A Button and there is a HUGE forum there, full of helpful people.

Pearson

manzilla911

I cant get anyone to help me in that forum with the tec stuff.

pearsonbrown

"I cant get anyone to help me in that forum. Do not get me wrong i wish this program worked it just dos not. "

I check out that forum quite regularly. I have seen no message from you under your Warrior name (and why don't you use your real name here???)

What name did you use?

Pearson

niceweb

I also prefer wordpress for sites, i also have serval bookmark and RSS tools. I wonder if this program is for me. I would like to contact the owners, but i can't find any contact info.

chronosafe

I'm also a fan of WordPress. Static sites don't really interest me that much anymore; the pure plugin power of WP makes it an ideal platform. While I seriously debated about this I think I'll wait until "Phase 2" is in production. I don't mind paying a bit more to let someone else beta test for me.

Mason999

Hey..

Thanks for all your feedback..

lakatos

Curious to know if there's someone using Project Green Button after 1 year and able to generate the said $2k ~ $6K per month ?

pearsonbrown

PGB is only just reaching a point where it is stable. Far too soon to judge it.

Pearson

sickbaomei

I heard many great things about PLRPro... its one of the thing I am considering but I'm pretty new to IM ... I try to do some research on the new Project Green Button, but don't see alot of real reviews here.... does anyone who uses the PGB give me feedback on how good it is ? ...besides the price , the other thing that hold me back is, they site building mechanism seems to be html sites but I was told that wordpress sites are better in terms of serp ? ...as such , i m also comparing tis with Firepow which I could get cheaper.

RoyChan

I have been with PGB for more than 6 months. I did try to use the program to build a couple of sites.

The value of the program is very good. It has AMA (article marketing software) to generate traffic to your sites. It has a built-in Social BookMarking tool. It also has a built it software to build your websites. It has a lot of discount resources to buy discount software. The owners of PGB are geniue people who have the true intent to help you succeed, by providing tons of value for you to build a lot of niches websites.

But the reason I stopped the program is, it costs $147 per month, and I could not use all the function that comes with it. Besides, every month, it gives you 11 niches to work with, and I could only use 3-4 niches for 6-7 months that I am with PGB. It just make me feel beaten, when I could not use the resources that comes with the services.

Also the monetarization of PGB relies on Adsense at the time of writing this post. I don't like the fact, that you need to use their software to build website, though their wordpress model is coming. I prefer something more fluid that allows me to modify my own sites.

If you are new to IM, I suggest, you don't go with it first, $147 a month is not a cheap shot for new comers.

paularad

I haven't used the site building portion too much yet, but I see the value. I build my sites now with XsitePro. It will save me a lot of time when it is completely stable. But the value I already have seen is in AMA.

I have about 30 sites in AMA, and my traffic has increased dramatically. I don't have to allow a post that is poorly written, or that is not rewritten enough, so it keeps the quality of my blog high. I build my sites in html, then I build a blog on each site and enter it into AMA. I have one blog that has over 1000 posts in it - and it was new when I put it in AMA.

Many of these blogs have been accepted to an advertising company, and after 4 months, I'm making about $400/mo just on that. Next month, it should be around $500.

There are bookmarking and RSS submission modules that help out a lot too. It's not automated, but I can make my bookmarking strategic.

All in all, I feel PGB is well worth the money. The content is good, and Marc and Daniel are marketers with great integrity, which means a lot to me.

sickbaomei

Hi brothers,
thanks for all your valuable advises and tips !!
greatly appreciate them ...

cheers

sickbaomei

Hi Paul,
If you have a blog for every .html site you've got, do you write the contents of these blogs manually or outsourced or auto-generated ?

Because I was thinking of as your sites grow, you will have more and more blogs and the contents might be difficult to handle manually..

For your blog with 1000 posts , are the post automated or has it grow exponentially with manual posting ?

$400 is impressive for your blog... are these earnings thru' affiliate product selling or adsense ?

also, i heard PGB is coming out with a Wordpress module soon... will this be similar to FirePow ?

Thanks again for responding.
sickbaomei

paularad

sickbaomei,

I use the plr from PGB on my html sites, but I completely rewrite it. The blogs I just allow to grow through AMA, so it's totally automatic. I also submit articles through the AMA system for my own sites on the topics that match, but it is drip-fed automatically too.

My earnings are through ad companies that sell the ads and link to a particular keyword in a post on my blog. Again, it's hands-off for me. All I do it upload a plugin.

I'm not sure about Firepow. I have no experience with it.

Paula

sickbaomei

Paul... if you don't mind, could I ask again how do you let the blogs grow by itself in AMA ? do they post into your blog automatically ? or how do you set it to do so ? sorry as I'm a wordpress noob..

pearsonbrown

Can I just point out that the AMA service to grow your blogs is completely free?

You pay $47 a month to submit your articles for distribution (unless you are part of PGP) but having their articles submitted to your blogs (automatically or semi-automatically) is a free service.

Pearson

rayt

Can I just clarify then that if you're part of PGB, that the usual $47 a month service to submit your articles for distribution comes free?

Generally, what other expenses do people using PGB have to pay for to make things work for them? At almost $150 / month, if I have to spend extra on other services, I may soon go broke!

Can I also clarify whether the proposed fee hike to $197 / month when stage 3 is rolled out, if that applies to all members or only to people who join after stage 3 is out?

lakatos

Hi rayt,
ya..I could conclude that if you are a member of PGB, the $47 is waive and the service is free..
I believe besides the membership, other expense you need will be hosting and purchasing of domain names..

Cheers
Lakatos

rhab

I have considered PGB in the past. Wondering if current members can confirm and answer a question for me.

For their blog network, is it true that you cannot promote and link to free blogging platforms such as blogger, squidoo, etc...? As I understand it you can only promote sites that you host yourself?

And for the content, I've heard it's always been very good. Are the niches provided truly profitable selections with targeted keywords that you CAN indeed rank for that aren't the usual run of highly saturated markets?

Adam Sussman

As far as I am aware (as an ex member) current members will stay with current prices.
