I was wondering if anyone attended Anik Singal's recent webinar. He was promoting a personal coaching program with a limit of only 15 students.

    I did not attend, however I would imagine it to be quite worth it as he makes bank online and truly knows what he's doing. Pardon any typos. iPad post

        A bit pricey definitely, but he does have a new coaching product coming out Jan 11th or so that should be much more affordable, marketing with anik. I'll be checking out that one for sure

      Over the years I think I've looked into two things from Anik:

      Profit Jackpot:
      http://www.warriorforum.com/internet...al-anyone.html

      His relentless promotion of Tom Millers Traffic Revolution:
      http://www.warriorforum.com/internet...y-reviews.html

      And you're saying you imagine it's good because he makes "bank" online. Wow, isn't it some coincidence that one of those products I looked into was highly questionable (I'm being quite polite here) - another was a downright scam. I can't count the number of times he has promoted highly questionable products as Greg already pointed out.

      But hey, let's not be so 'negative' here - if this 'coaching' (or whatever it is) program is entitled 'I'm making bank by promoting the illusion of fast cash on the internet and you can too' then by all means - go for it! Take action today and don't forget to contact me regarding your free $99 bonus!

    Don't read an internet marketing review of a coaching program I can almost guarantee you that there will be a reccomendation to buy.

    I agree you should look online at various factors. Really research the name quite a bit and see what comes up. Whenever you see a review blog, ignore it. Internet marketers are famous for making review style blogs, and will 99/9999999999999999% of the time reccomend you buy from their blogs. Instead, see what other info you can bring up on the coach. Look for students of that coach and contact them and ask them their experience. IF you see bad reviews somewhere, contact them and ask them their thoughts. Were they just a bad apple, or did they have legit complaints?

    I signed on for a few coaches in my day, some of them were downright scam artists. Two from this forum, who i'm sure make money, and one guy with like 5k posts. However, one guy has done alot for me and he currently charges 5k dollars. Before I signed on with him, i asked his real life students alot of questions about it. Since no one had bad things to say and all of them were making money, I thought it was a good investment.

    Hope that helps.

    James- there are upsells to our recent Marketing With Anik offer..

    3 of them- all offers if your interested but NOT neccessary as always.

    1. Done for you 35 Niches + Income kick start- we sold one for $200 in past and Income Kick Start for $497 in past- all still very relevant and now $197 for one time fee.

    2. Empire Formula- EVERYONE knows what this is. The Business blue print course. All 4 stages from $0 to $10 million a year business building blueprint- Sold for $1997 not too long ago- NOW for a limited time at $197 with Marketing with Anik Students.

    3. Last is a SEO class we charged $5k to 20 students - recordings and pdf's- REALLY comprehensive ninja SEO stuff - this recording/pdf for $97

    So yes, we have upsells- it's normal marketing practice. The front offer of 15 weeks of coaching PLUS $5k training is A LOT just to start!

    Enjoy

      I purchased this back in April 21st 2012 and got the #37.00 plus OTO $197.00 plus OTO $197.00. have full access to all of Anak teachings and when I asked them for a refund they denied having any record of the sale. And yet I got the original email from the Warriors forum. The website you wind up with is Marketing With Anik | Your Classroom they told me that was not their site. Go figure. Does anyone know anything more about this?

      Here is the link on the Forum here that started it all for me.
      http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...-97-5-off.html

      Anak's support said they use Clickbank for their transactions. But the buy button link above goes to paypal.

    I used to buy his stuff before but I have since become a little wiser.

    I typically dont even open his emails anymore. I felt that he abuses his lists to no-end, with all kinds of Idea-of-the-day affiliate offers.

    I don't trust him and even he were to offer coaching for next to nothing, I would ask him to go look for the next guy.

      Why don't you simply unsubscribe from the list then? Why clutter your inbox with our "abuse."

        Slightly defensive are you? Well, nobody can blame you; I probably would be too if I were forced to justify Anik's choices of affiliate promotions. But at least you gave some great advice: unsubscribe from his list. I did, and I don't miss his unrelenting promotions of garbage products at all.

        I'd rather clean toilets for minimum wage than make my money like he does. Those horrible, dishonest MMO clickbank launches hurt people that are already struggling, and I want nothing to do with anyone that would promote them.

          Not defensive at all. Just a bit confused why you continue to be subscribed if you plan on ignoring all the emails...

            You didn't even read the post you quoted, nor notice who it was from; if you had, perhaps you'd have been able to formulate a reply that makes sense. As it is, you failed. Since you seem to be Anik's representative, is this an indication of the kind of attention people can expect from the coaching?

            The point that I was making, (that you understandably avoided) is that the reason I did unsubscribe (did you see it that time?), was that he promoted too many products that range from questionable to total scams.

            The best conclusion one could make is that he doesn't bother to check out what he promotes, but I have seen him defend absolute garbage here on the WF, so I doubt that's it.

            Even if he promotes scams out of ignorance, it's no excuse. The fact is, he profits from selling garbage that's labeled gold, even if he believes the hype. He's not dumb, so I doubt he believes it.

            Why is this relevant in a thread about his coaching?

            Because if you're smart about picking a coach, you will place a very high value on that person's integrity. A person with integrity (worthy of having as a coach) does not promote anything that might hurt the people who buy it. Scams hurt.

            Conversely, a person who does promote one scam after another, clearly has no concern for the well being of his list, and therefore cannot be considered coach material by anyone that wants to market ethically.

            Consider this: if your mom wants to buy some products to learn how to make money online, are there any marketers you'd feel comfortable telling her to buy anything they promote, knowing even if it's not for her, it won't be garbage either?

            I feel like I could leave my mom unsupervised with a bunch of Jason Fladlien's emails, and not worry, since he doesn't promote junk.

            Sorry, but I can't say the same for Anik. Don't you think it would be creepy to follow a coach whose promotions you would have to protect your mom from? I say hold out for someone who reflects your values, and only markets stuff they check out and know to be good.

            Darren Monroe, Maria Gudelis and several others come to mind. Anik also comes to mind, but as someone I would tell her to avoid. This isn't prejudice; it comes from having been interested in him, joined his list for a while, and quit in disgust at the unrelenting barrage of crud he sent me.

            People are too blinded by money. I don't care if someone makes a billion a year; if they hurt people in the process, I'm not impressed; quite the opposite. I admire anyone who makes $50k ethically. I have no respect, let alone admiration for someone who makes millions or billions promoting lies to people too inexperienced to know the difference.

  • Hi, gang !

    I got that $37 offer in an email from him, too, ... and... I was curious.

    I got 'disuaded' pretty quidkly, though,... the email was sent from "noreply@affiliateclassroom.com"

    Realizing an email 'reply' wasn't going to go anywhere, I thought to go to affiliateclassroom.com

    What greeted me was ...a...c....com/juju something or other.

    There was absolutely NO WAY TO CONTACT HIM !

    NOT EVEN A HELPDESK !!!

    I'm sorry, but... when someone tries to stay that 'hidden', I just find it very hard to trust them - no matter how good the offer seems...

    ...and the offer itself seemss a bit incredulous - - $5,000 worth of material for only $37 - come on <grin>

      What? You replied to the autoresponder message?

      The reason we have noreply @ .. is because many people have auto responders set on their emails and our support email gets flooded.

      IF you read the email that was sent back - it simply tells you WHERE to email and how to get a hold of us.

      Also affiliateclassroom.com goes to our company website which is now called JuJUQ- affiliate classroom was an old company name but we utilize the domain still.

      AND - if you did purchase - inside the members area is the direct support email address too.

      We use Kayako- you will open a ticket and it's addressed in 24-48 hours generally.

      Thanks.

      I totally agree with you. I would like to hear from people who buy the product.
      We see Anik and his products all over the place - with that much exposure he is sure to get a lot of takers on any product.
      Taking this into consideration I wonder ....

      Will the number of spots be limited?

      How much assistance will you actually get with this coaching package?

      It is called "coaching" but at that price maybe it is "just" a super bundle package that you need to weed through on your own???

      I don't like some of his very hyped-up approach so I have not purchased his products (the super-hype does not inspire confidence for me) but you do see him everywhere - at the very least he is a master of branding!!! I'm sure he has a lot to teach.

      Anyone? Is this really coaching or a mega product bundle?

      Thanks

    I haven't bought yet.

    In full disclosure, I believe the offer is for $27 if you attempt to exit out of the 1st page, you get an incentive to stick by accepting the $27.

    I just have a few questions:
    1) In the video intro, Mr. Singal states that he will be looking over our shoulder during the training - my question is, during the 15 weeks of coaching, What exactly goes into the coaching? Is it phone calls, skype calls, webinars, what exactly?

    2) In the video intro, we are told that we will receive at least 4 of his highest selling products, including affiliate training, seo training, etc. Is there a blueprint or guide or syllabus that instructs us the proper or best order in which to read through and implement these extra courses?

    3) What is the structure of the 15 week program? Is it once a week, is there a members area where we can watch 15 weeks worth of videos, is it live training, what is it?

    Thanks.

    These people come up with a different product about every week or 2, once you get suckered into one of them they go on to the next one and try to sucker you into buying that one.

    The owner of this forum has strict rules about bashing other people. Before you post in the thread, please read his sticky about this.

    I appreciate that for any sort of coaching program the background of the coach is important. However, this thread is teetering on the edge of being pulled.

    And that would be a pity.

    There are always upsells when the price point is so low. The low price point is to get you in the buying frame of mind. It's a numbers game. A large % of the low price point buyers will also buy the upsell. If it wasn't for the upsell the low price point wouldn't be possible in most cases. I buy upsells a lot when I purchase products because generally speaking that's where the real value is.

    For what it's worth, I subscribed with some hesitation (having refunded Profit Jackpot) because the price was so low. I listened to my first webinar (actually #3) last night and have to say I was very impressed.

    The information was very clear and seemed quite good--specific tips on what works and what doesn't on opt-in pages. He reviewed a couple submitted on the spot by participants. So if the webinars continue to be informative I feel I will certainly get my money's worth.

    Hmmm. I purchased two programs from Anik in the past. One was a comprehensive PPC course and another an Affiliate course. Each cost around $497, as I recall. I thought the PPC information was quite detailed, although I didn't want to lose my shirt with PPC, so I ended up not following through. I don't think I ever went through the Affiliate course because my Dell laptop died shortly after purchase. I'll have to go back and check my records, and try to dig out the purchase and log-in info from the HDD on the dead laptop...

    Well the proof is in the pudding they always say.....So thanks for providing the link for the webinar. I think after watching and listening and being on his list for a long time I would say I trust his personal material but the stuff he promotes I don't bother with, he must be involved with his students and agree to push their stuff to his list. That is my only explanation for his material....some is excellent some is terrible.

    Hey mge,

    I purchased another product from this guy and I was happy with the initial product. The guy is well respected. But I had a hangover with his 100 upsells. He is one of the upsell gurus out there and what these gurus don't realize is that we are all familiar with the complicated sales funnel with upsells, downsells etc. Wouldn't the world be a nicer place if we purchased what was advertised without the upsells?

      Hey Norman

      That is exactly my thoughts about this. This process of selling started I believe on TV with the infomercials. It becomes obvious that all these people want is your money. They could care less about the consumer.

      The interesting thing I found out from Paypal today was that they are searching out these sites and then working with Google to shut them down. I guess that should be good news but at the expense of the buyer. Caveat Emptor - Let the Buyer Beware.
