Thank you brutha!!! Ipods are really overrated. You have to download everything and then upload through itunes and all sorts of time wasting activities, etc.

Hi Lee,

Thanks for the reply.

I use the web for at least 15 years and I consider myself somewhat experienced on the matter.

I have an ebay and Amazon account with thousands of transactions and more than 10 years and although I can be wrong as everyone else sometimes I doubt I would do such a dumb mistake or take advatange of your work for a mere $1 dollar.

I 've put my credit card number to show I am no get a freebie kind of person.

I am a paid member for the War Room and recommend it to EVERYONE.

I guess next time I should Print Screen any other offer I decide to test.

I just reviewed the 6 e-mails you sent the day I subscribed.

NOT A SINGLE ONE SAYS I SIGNED FOR A 97$ MEMBERSHIP

Out of 6 emails with thousands of words the word "membership" shows up ONCE and by the end of the e-mail in those "PS" last minute remarks. And NO, ZERO, ZIPPO reference is there for a monthly fee


Never got your $197 "free gift" either... but since I thought your content did not suit my needs never bothered to copy,download,ask or anything else.

I can Copy all emails to another thread if you feel I am been UNFAIR with you.


In all my naiveness I thought you asked for a credit card number so I could check the content and if I found it valuable you would cross sell , up sell , refer me or whatever.

How Naive....

Anyways, just dont say that "50% of the sales letter is devoted to this, and it's mentioned multiple times in BOLD on the order form."

BECAUSE IT WAS NOT.

The same way that your "Live chat" support showed as ONLINE and NOBODY was available for live chat.

Oh yes, guess I was not lucky the same way that I could not see mentioned multiple times in BOLD on the order form that I was subscribing for a monthly $97" because I am a crackhead drug addict that is trolling around.


As GCINTERMED wrote here on reply #149:

I think sometimes in IM we become jaded with all the latest direct response techniques-- the free offers that aren't free, the fake urgency and scarcity, the one-time offers and back end upsells-- that we forget the role of TRUST in the marketing relationship. So instead of just trying to maximize our conversion rates, I think we should be asking what effect will our actions have on how prospects and customers perceive us, and their likelihood of trusting us in the future.

-end of rant-


Thanks for cancelling anyways and all the best

I had that same problem. Because I have my email delivered to yahoo and gmail, I noticed that the yahoo account totally blocked it and the gmail account delivered it to my inbox. I later went in and white listed and set up rules to make sure anything with **Russell Brunson was delivered to my inbox.

Best,
Greg

Again,

Alsp are you going to blame me when his "ONLINE " chat is NOT AVAILABLE?

Excuses.... we all have a few...
Recently Chris Anderson the WIRED Wiz Guy and writer of 2 of the most commented books of the Digital Era: Long Tail and Free has come with one (pathetic excuse) for the http://www.vqronline.org/blog/2009/06/23/chris-anderson-free/#comment-3034

Even Hitler had hundreds of those to justify the gas chambers and NO, I am not jewish neither a hypocritical or a crackhead that cant read.

I dont have the Print Screen of the offer

BUT I DO have the 6 different e-mails sent on June 26th when I signd up for the offer. I can post somewhere or email you and you try to find a CLEAR like the ones above (basecamp, freshbooks) indication of a $97 upsell out of $1 monthly commitment

But again, I dont want to put Lee or anyone else down and I apologize if I was too harsh . But honestly, I think a talented guy like Lee dont need this kind of trick. There is a thread going on about Perry Belcher which is a huge success by all means guy that I just cant seem to relate either here

Again, you can all disagree with me but dont try the "Ryce cant read a sales Letter retoric" ...

thanks

I have to chip in here and say that I love the MC training and I believe it was very clear about the $97 per month training after the 14 day trial.

The only downside I've experienced so far is the payment processors. A merchant account over here in the UK was taking at least 6 - 8 weeks to process and also using the 1shoppingcart was going to cost an extra $97 per month.

I would have loved to use clickbank but they don't allow shipping of a product (well, technically they do, but you are not allowed to collect the address of your customer). So i reverted to using a combination of paypal, PayDotCom, DL Guard and Aweber. After some problems I have finally managed to get it sorted out with the help of the great team over at DL Guard forum.

My site is nearly ready to go live at www.LearnLucidDreaming.com and I can't wait. However thinking about it I should have really used the product launch formula to promote it.

If you are thinking about buying this I would recommend it without question and it really is a great business model that can be used over and over again.

I had taken the free ipod offer from Russell and it took about 3 weeks to get it in the mail. Fortunately he gave you an instant download right away. The ipod (mp3) player really sucks and has alot of static etc. So probably worth at the most $5-$10 at the flea market. But the content was golden.

I had also took advantage of one of his OTO's and bought his $197 Micro C digital version of his complete program. But after getting the frst 2 videos trainings that was part of his weekly free trial of his micro c program decided to get a refund and stick to the weekly micro c program since the content was beter laid out and had a ton of resources included. Even though the 197 would be a heck of alot less that $97 a month for 6 months. The refund took about a week and they were about 7 days to get a response from his company even after a few phone calls and emails and support tickets being opened. But it was not hard to get the refund. I just think they were really backed up from all the people that signed up for the free mp3 offer. Russell even responed with this on this forum. I also noticed that Russell pays his affiliates $26 (if I remember correctly) for each free mp3 that they give away. So you could imagine how many people must have taken advantage of this offer during the launch.

All and all, this is an awesome program and from what I have seen so far, he is a stand up guy and has some really awesome content and broken down step by step.

I purchased the Apprentice Coaching Program that Russell offers. I know this is not the same exact program you are discussing here. However, it is an option through Russell's upsell. I have been marketing online for several years and not doing too bad I must say. However, this coaching program offers so much and is not a cookie cutter coaching program. I can't speak for all of the coaches as I am only working with one. But, I can tell you that they interview you before the program starts and they find out what they need to work with you on. They don't wast your time on things you already know and that is much better than most coaching that I have heard about here.

This coaching program is like having a direct line to Russell himself. The coaches are actually in the same building as Russell. It's not one of those outsourced coaching programs that you may find through some others that I wont mention. There is good and bad in any course you take but no matter what level you are in your business, you will learn a great deal from his Apprentice or Protege coaching.

I am glad that I decided to accept this offer and I am looking forward to the launch of the site I have been building with Russell's coach.

Michael M. is doing a fantastic job! I have 3 weeks left in the course and as soon as my outsourced work is done, we are ready to launch the site...

AllAboutAction

I don't know Lee from Adam, but I ran across his site a week or so ago and watched all of his old content. He's got an impressive story, and has done quite a bit in a short amount of time. One thing I noticed watching his old content was that he was very up front about everything. Not once did I get the feeling that he was anything but ethical, and he made mention several times about clearly labeling prices, subscriptions, etc.

Even if the offer you responded to wasn't as clearly as it could have been, I have seen nothing that would lead me to believe that Lee was trying to intentionally scam anyone. In fact, all of the sales letters of his that I've seen have been very clear. You should choose your words a little more carefully when making accusations.

And even if it wasn't as clear as it could have been, his return policy couldn't be clearer. Instead of coming to the message board and trashing him, why didn't you just talk to him and ask him for a refund? Losing your $97 isn't exactly going to break him.

Seriously, now. Do you really want to want to conjure up something like that when talking about someone whose pitch is "ethical marketing"?

I'm not saying that you're lying about not noticing that you were signing up for a subscription, but you shouldn't go in with both guns blazing so quickly, mate.

Does anyone know what Russel Brunson's support is like?

I ordered a couple of upsells recently and there was no sign of them

I have yet to receive a reply from their online support facility.

The only thing anyone has received so far is they have received my money.

I will report back if/when this gets resolved.

Joe

I usually email, open a ticket, and call them. It takes them 2-3 days depending how busy they are. But they do get back to you.

Is this program still available by any chance?

Any MC success stories?, would like to hear some...

Also, does anyone know how you implement the content, how do you get a site witht he same functionality as the MC site, I've seen a wordpress pluggin but thats all, does Brunson make his software available?

Easy Traffic Strategy - Some very interesting links

rockstarinlife

I think it was either week 4 or 5 which is the last I got, he talked about a few sites and resources (none did exactly what his does). but he said they make their own scripts.

rockstarinlife

Hey guys I wouldnt do anything with Russell until he fixes his support and gets his email system fixed. I am arguing with his support to get access to the videos I already paid for and it has been a few weeks dealing with them. It is like trying to talk to a 4 year old over there.

I say " I need access to the weekly micro-c videos I paid for and cant access them because it says my card needs to be updated".

2-4 days later I get a response "Sorry for the inconvenience and here is the link to the video www.blahblah.etc."

me "that is the wrong link and takes me to the download free bonuses and buy your stuff page?"

another 2-4 days later, them" sorry here is the correct links to all the videos blah blah blah"

me "thanks for the correct links but it still wont let me access them? says I need to pay again?"

them " sorry blah blah blah, seems you need to update your credit card etc. You must pay us more money to see the videos you already paid to watch but didnt get to watch because we dont email you when new videos are available and you should guess when they are and just make a point to go the link around every week since we dont have a set day when we post the new videos. But it is the best program out there and you should model after us to make money."

lol.... ok I added the last part but this is what they basically said to me? Crazy!

I hope this isnt considered bashing or bad mouthing them. I am just relaying my experience with his system and program so far.

Update: I finally got it resolved after a ton of emails and opening tickets. But JD over there finally came through and gave me the access to watch the videos I paid for. also JD did respond to me emails within 30 min to 1 hour which is wayyyy less than what I have experienced with his support in the past (3-4 days or more).

Has anybody tried Russell's "Done For You" Program?

Be interested in some feedback on that.

Looks really great, but if they can handle support for thier own products then how can they handle others?

Great idea though and might be worth something when they get there house in order.

I've actually purchased the full MC program some time back and thought support was "ok", nothing special but not awful either.

Personally, certainly not bad enough to put me off purchasing more stuff.

Yes, we get that Pierre, but clearly we are trying to find feedback on how well it's implemented, what money if any people have made from the backend coaching, how customer databases are stored, how customisable the content actually is once your niche is dropped in and so on, stuff youc an only learn from somebody actually in the program.

There's no confusion as to "what" it is .

Hello all,

I have to agree that the presell content was incredible. I do have to ask though...

If I want to open up a day care business (whether in my home or as a brick and mortar business) why in the hell would I want dripped content for 12 months give or take to make this happen?

That's like saying..."Great, I found the solution to opening up my business. I'll sign up for this solution and I can finally open up my business in a year".

I'm not suggesting this micro continuity does not work. As a matter of fact, this would work perfectly in the dieting or workout niche but certainly NOT to start a business! I would die to see how many people signed up for the day care continuity plan.

Oh, please do share! :-)

A little research turned up some odd results. His potatogun site is still in the ask campaign phase and has been for a while. He host the video for that on Youtube which only has a 300 count on views. I thought that was a money maker for him.

His father's micro site hasn't sent any follow up emails. I was also sure that follow up with aweber (or whomever) was a big part of the plan.

I was contacted by their offices for a long term consultation package - never got around to asking the price. They actually called 5 times and never left a message until finally the caught me available at 9:30 pm Eastern. The sales guy didn't seem very knowledgable about some of the testimonials on the site that I asked about.

My overall feeling is that the product might be a great idea but he's too overwhelmed or too bored with the customer service aspect to spend time on it. I called their number several times but always was first put on hold and then sent to voicemail about 1 minute later.

Has anyone else had problems with charging the MP3 player?

I plug it into a USB port but no lights come on.

I only get a red light on the same side as the USB socket when the USB cable is plugged in *AND* the unit is switched on -- no light at all on the earphone/switch face.

Without the USB cable plugged in there are no lights regardless of the position of the on/off switch.

Have tried all the USB ports on both a Dell Netbook and a desktop PC.

I had audio straight out of the box, which I assume was the result of some residual charge.

Any descriptions of what others are seeing would be most welcome.

TIA

I'm very pleased with the MC program with the 6 weeks i've seen, I do have a couple questions should someone have the answer.

I've contacted support, they do not allow you to prepay all weeks??? I'm interested in having the course from start to finish without waiting weekly.

Does anyone have any idea how you can skip the waiting for 1-video per week and purchase the full course?? Did I possibly miss an oto that offers the complete package?

Lastly, I have the newest version of XSitePro...does anyone have experience creating a MC site with this software?

Thanks,

The whole point of delivering it to you each week is so that you will actually do everything that he mentions in that week and get it down before the next week's video.

I think it's a better style of teaching and makes you focus on one task at a time, rather then trying to digest a whole bunch of information and then make a move with that information.

As long as you have a shopping cart, like 1shoppingcart (its what I use) then you should be good to go.

rockstarinlife

I PM'd you the link to the micro c OTO offer (it is the 3rd & 4th OTO). He sells the cd version for 397 and the digital for 197. I dont recommend it over the weekly course since the weekly video course is way better laid out and has al the resources he talks about. The OTO offer is for a webinar he did where he goes over the process and has you doing your assignments in a different order than the weekly, but I liked the weekly course better.

Right now they are on week 13 but after week 6 or 7 they go into traffic generating techniques. If you dont want to wait for those you could just buy his OTO traffic secrets.

After hearing about Jimmy D Browns Membernaire program from one of the warriors here "Sherman Cox" I decided to take a look at it and I really like it better than Russells program. But I am going to use some of the ideas I got from Russell like using the video squeeze page and trial membership free plus shipping etc. Membernaire is just way better laid out and gives every resource plus step by step instruction. Just my personal opinion.

rockstarinlife

I only charged it once and then gave it to my dad. But it is pretty junky and cheap. It gives off a lot of static on some of the audios and gets a little warm while running. Honestly I wouldnt have paid more than 99 cents for the mp3 player itself. But the content was awesome!

steved333

I have had three unfortunate experiences with Brunson products. I did get the MC MP3 player and listened to it. It was pretty interesting, but it's much the same information as a great deal of what you see out there for less. BTW, those three unfortunate experiences are the only experiences I have had. He's a smart marketer, but the only real success I've had with his programs is successfully spending too much money. The best success I've had so far has been with Michael Brown and Steve Yakim.

Hi I signed up for the micro continuity course a couple of weeks ago I am really happy with it so far, I also have an internet marketing micro continuity programs set up with a couple of other projects in development.

Appears great but time will tell.

chewie49

I am getting very mad at this.

I have being a subscriber for more than 4 months. All the bills come TIMELY at the same day every motnh BUT not the lessons!!

He is delayed THREE WEEKS!! so, basically,... I have paid almost one entire month and received NOTHING!

Very disappointing.... and even more disappointing was the response of the support ticket "I am sorry. We "try" to deliver the lessons on time".

Unless they change quickly for the better, I don't recommend it anymore.

Andy Hussong

First of all, I don't get paid to say any of this, but while my relationship with Russell has consisted of just occasional emails since meeting him in April '05 at the Big Seminar 5 in Atlanta, I do know Russell enough to say that he's the real deal, and that he's one to definitely follow for marketing advice.

Now, to address the quote, above, I don't have time to read all of posts or research what he charges every month for the continuity portion of this program, but the one bit of advice I would give to anyone who gets upset about being billed 4 times but only receiving 3 issues so far is this...

1) Determine how much the monthly charge is. Let's say it's $100/mo. for simplicity's sake.
2) If you've been involved for 4 months, ask yourself, "Have I made my $400 back, yet?".

- if so, then you are playing with the house's money, allowing you to ignore the fact that you haven't received month 4's content, yet, and choose to use your time and energy focusing on improving what you've already learned in months 1-3, with the piece of mind that you know you'll have more content to study within a week or two.

- if NOT, then make it your goal to earn $400 from the first 3 months of content BEFORE you ever TOUCH the month 4 content. You just have to ask yourself, "How much have I really applied what I've already been taught? Man, I need to focus in on building my business more, rather than looking forward to more training."

In fact, anytime you buy a continuity product, whether it's a membership site, monthly coaching, CD of the month, or whatever, your #1 goal should always be this...

* EARN MY 1 MONTH'S PAYMENT BACK!... In other words, just for your own piece of mind, if you know going in that you can at least make your investment back, then there's no reason to ever have to worry about getting a refund, because then you can focus on making money, rather than how quickly you're going to get the next module of content.

So the key is to study and then IMPLEMENT what you learned in that first module as quickly as possible, make some money, keep testing and tracking for results, and only once you've exhausted all of the content from that first module (and hopefully earned back your initial investment), move onto the next month's content.

Goal #2 would be to earn enough to pay for an entire year, so you can RELAX and just build your business, knowing you've made back many times your investment.

Finally, I'll just say that, yes... it's always nice to pay for something and then get it immediately, but the truth is that when you are paying for a monthly piece of content, the promise on the marketers' end is that you will get this type of content every month... it's never promised that you'll get access to it exactly when your card is dinged. The only time you EVER get what you pay for immediately online is if you're buying a digital product that's already been created. Monthly membership material takes a ton of time and effort to create so that it has value, and is provided as soon as it's available on a monthly basis.

Besides, because people decide to buy the monthly continuity product at different times of the month, it only makes sense that some get the product earlier than others, because their cards are dinged at different times of the month.

I hope this helps. It's definitely a LOOONNG drawn out answer to a simple concern, but I wanted to share a bit of the psychology that's helped me over the years whenever I get a continuity product that's geared towards helping me make more money. I've had problems in the past of staying on one task, as it is, so this type of thinking allows me to stay focused on a GOAL of just earning back my original investment, so I can rest easy about making the buying decision in the first place.

It's all about realizing you're making an INVESTMENT, and your goal is to get a positive return on your investment as quickly as possible.

Hey brother I feel ya on this. I was having the same challenge with them. After launching my own micro continuity program I have come to realize that some times things happen and you get a little behind trying to keep up with your upload dates to your server. Those who got in at the beginning are the ones that suffer since they are expecting a weekly video every week. People that start the program now will get all the videos on time each week since they have over 17 weeks of content ready to be sent to them.

I wouldn't trip too much about it and just implement what he is teaching and just make sure they make it up to you ion some way or at least they dont charge an extra month at the end of his program.

Yes, I got in on the Micro Continuity with Russell and he is over delievering as he always does.

Hi,

I bought this even just because I love buying stuff and it's KILLER packaging! Very good for modeling for your own products.

Russ said in the intro video on the sales letter that he bought the mp3 players from Hong Kong. So you can kinda assume they aren't ipods.

This is a VERY elaborate and well constructed product and coaching program.

On the forced continuity, you kinda assume there's billing involved since most people don't send out an mp3 player for free. He also explained it very well on the video on the sales letter.

Or that's how I see it.

It's a very professionally produced product. One of the best I've seen.

Speaking of Brunson, can anyone explain to me why so many of his "case studies" have the same business address and phone number as Brunson's business? And how does a potato gun site with nothing for sale make $3,000-$4,000 a month selling potato gun info as he claims here at the 1:40ish mark?

Making money selling something you don't actually have for sale....it's gotta be the holy grail of marketing, lol.
