I am interested in purchasing TurboMembership--- I have Googled it and I have done a search here on the Warrior Forum--- It looks great and I am sure it is from the search info from Google and the Forum ----- But my feeling is that it might be a little overwhelming for a beginner !!!

I would appreciate any information from present or past Turbomembership Members on there thoughts if TurboMembership is for a beginner ???

Thank you --Debra

Loren Woirhaye

I'm not currently a member of it but I was in the past. TM offers
a lot of value every month. My feeling is it is mostly about
the "resale rights" business model so if that appeals to you
and you are ready to jump in to that business model with both
feet it could be a good option for you.

Hi Debra,

I have been a TM'r for over 3 years, it is fine for beginners, what is it you need out of joining the membership?

Hi Debra,

Turbomembership is perfect for beginners or seasoned marketers alike.
If you're a beginner it will put you on the fast track to learning what you need to focus on first, second and so on.

If you're a seasoned marketer it will give you all the tools in one place to use as you choose.

John's philosophy of centralization is put into practice like nowhere else.

He and the rest of his "TM" family will be right there to help you along the way should you need any pointers.

I hope you choose to join us. I'll look forward to welcoming you when you do!

Your friend,
Scott

Hey Loren--- What I am looking for from TM is to help teach me from the beginning of IM--- I have never set up a website or blog ----- My main problem at this point is ---Setting up cpanel and getting a ftp program to transfer files (I have some kind of mental block on these two procedures)----- I have much to learn but getting past cpanel and ftp would be a big moral booster !!!

Thank Loren for your Reply--- Have a Great Day --- Debra

E-Newbies

I would suggest you look at Unselfish Marketer it is a resale rights membership but its the Video products you are interested in for yourself. There are any number of Video series detailing "how to" you can learn everything you need from these.

Loren Woirhaye

Paying a monthly fee to learn those two skills doesn't make
a lot of sense. I know webmastering is intimidating but there
really is not that much you NEED to know to put up websites.

Really.

I understand your mental blocks but while there are keeping you
from putting up sites they are really issues. If you have a Cpanel
account you might want to get it set up with Cpanel X3 which has
tutorials in it. Just ask your host. The Cpanel manual is
technical, but to make sites you don't need to read it.

Probably the best way to learn hosting and FTP is to have somebody
do it for while you watch and ask questions.

TM has instructional videos on a lot of that stuff I think - and it
offers a lot of value in other ways too. But if all you want is
a blog just get a Hostgator account and set up wordpress with
one click. There is very little you can mess-up.

Dostique

Brian thank you for the reply---- Mainly I am looking for a membership that will help take you from a complete beginner to a knowledgeable Internet Marketer with out having to purchase a ton of other tools ,software or learn html----- if there is such a membership ????

Thank again ---Debra

Dostique

Scott-- I appreciate the reply----I have been thinking of purchasing TM for some time now ---- the TM sales page was not on the net for a short time and now there is a totally different TM sales page( I am sure it has something to do with Delavo coming May 16th or 17th ) I am not sure but it looks to me like some things have changed on the new sales page -- If I decide to join maybe I should wait till after Delavo has launched to see what is offered ?? What do you or others think about waiting ???

Scott ---Thank you for taking the time to Reply----- Debra

UncleHQ

Hi Debra,

Beginner to Knowledgeable is possible depending on how you apply what you will learn - what type of business do you want to build, internet marketing is just one part of running a business.

You will have access to all the basic tools you need included in the membership, education, products to sell, an autoresponder and a way to take payments and deliver goods.

Every internet marketer needs to learn basic HTML, but the basic stuff you need is not difficult.

Turbo Membership is not the only membership to help you with your goals but in my opinion it is the best (yes I have tried others - TM helped me earn money for the first time).

Brian

Scott Anson

Hi Debra,

Yeah, John has been doing some revamping and housecleaning...
He even threw some good stuff out and some of us was there to pick it up.
I was there and I think I saw Brian too.

The week of May 17th will be your best time to join because as you
might know the 17th is John's birthday and he always throws a big
party...that's when Delavo will be released and you can get it for free
only during that week.

Unless, of course you do become a TurboMember then it will still be available.
But, why wait when it will be free during that week.

John says, and I quote "even your grandma can build web pages and web sites with Delavo."

So judging from that, I would say it's just the ticket your looking for.
I mean after all, FREE is the price I like best too!

Anyway, I'll be at the party on the 17th and I hope to see you!
(virtually speaking of course...)

Your friend,
Scott

E-Newbies-- Yes I have viewed the Unselfish Marketers Membership Site and it does look very good --- In fact ( this is just my opinion ) I believe there is some connection Between JayKay Bak and John Delavera ???

Thank you for the information --- Debra

Dostique

Loren--- Actually I need more help than just Hosting and ftp--- I have been trying to learn IM for quite some time (Too embarrassed to say how long)with no success -- Totally my fault not focusing jumping around from one program to the next and in the beginning believing the get rich quick schemes ---- Now it is time to settle down and learn or give up ( I am not much for quitting )About IM marketing I have learned a little about a lot-- but I have learned not much about a lot --- there is so much to learn with IM ---- I am looking for a membership that anything I get stuck on I have a place I can look up the answer to the IM problem!!!

Loren--- Thank you I appreciate your replies----- Debra

Dostique

Brian--- Thank you for your replies---- I am not looking to start a business with my own products --- I am interested In afflliate marketing ---- Niche marketing--- CPA marketing--- etc.---- ( it will not be long and I will be totally home bound and I am looking to keep busy and make a little extra money)--- I am getting better with computers but I am not a 20 year old wiz kid and I am a hunt and peck two finger typist----- so I am not looking to do a lot of article writing!!

Do you feel TM is for my needs?? Brian I appreciate your responses---Debra

stevenh512

I have to admit, I come from a more "command-line" oriented background (DOS and Unix before all the fancy GUIs caught on), so the first time I saw cPanel I thought it was some kind of toy.. lol.. I never knew hosting a web site could be so easy, I was used to having to edit my Apache config, DNS config and everything else by hand. That being said, I can see how it could be confusing or scary to a newbie.

Have you ever played around with your Windows Control Panel to see what some of the settings do? Think of cPanel as a "Windows Control Panel" for your Linux web host, with one major difference.. it's a lot harder to do something in cPanel that "breaks" your hosting account than it is to do something in Windows Control Panel that "breaks" Windows.

For FTP I'd suggest taking a look at FileZilla, but if that's too advanced or confusing for your needs there are simpler programs available. FileZilla, like most mondern "graphical" FTP programs, has a drag-and-drop interface that makes transferring files to your server as simple and painless as possible. Just connect to the server, click to the folder you want to transfer the files to, then drag them from the left pane to the right pane and it handles the rest.

Let me know if you need any more help, I can try to "walk you through" FTP and some of the basic things you'll need to know how to do in cPanel (even setting up a MySQL database and installing a script isn't hard and a lot of people are intimidated by that, not necessarily just newbies either.. lol).

As far as the other things you need to learn about marketing.. sounds like you're suffering from information overload.. lol.. we've all been there (and some of us are still there).

My advice would be to "slow down" and focus on one thing, don't spread yourself too thin. Do some research and decide on a niche that "fits" you (something you're passionate about, and something that enough people are interested in that you should be able to make a nice profit). I'd stay away from the Internet Marketing/Make Money Online "niche" until you're more experienced, there are already too many people selling ebooks full of untested theories about how to make money selling ebooks (but that's not to say that there isn't good information available too).. lol

Once you've decided on a niche, get yourself an autoresponder account if you don't already have one and set up a squeeze page. Learn to drive traffic to that squeeze page and offer people an incentive to sign up (maybe give them a bundle of "relevant" resale rights products you have, or some exclusive content you've written, whatever the case may be) and start building your list. Your list is gold, treat your list like the valuable asset it is and treat your subscribers like good friends and you'll have an army of loyal customers who you can market to for years.. whether you're selling your own product, resale/PLR products, affiliate products or whatever the case may be.

Once you start seeing some success, then it's time to do two things. Focus even more on what's working, and start learning and applying "new" things that could make you more profit. Test everything. As a well-known marketing "guru" who I won't mention here (because his name's been all over this forum in the past few months lol) likes to say, "know your metrics". If something works stick with it, if it doesn't work for you either get rid of it or try to figure out why it isn't working.

Dostique

HI Scott --- I am going to try to make the party on the week of May17th---- The little I know about Delavo it sounds pretty good ---- I have the email with the video's but I have not had a chance to watch them yet !!! Maybe John will offer a discount to TM on his birthday ??

Thanks Scott---See you at the party--- Debra

UncleHQ

Hi Debra,

afflliate marketing ---- Niche marketing--- CPA marketing is a good start and there are tools and knowledge available within the membership for this.

For all types of marketing you will have access to a really good hosting account and autoresponder which are essential to capture leads to market to.

You will have access to tutorials (video) on the why's and wherefore's for any technical task you are likely to need - you will have access to a true beginner friendly forum for help.

You can even get your hands on more articles than you will know what to do with (but we will teach you) - so don't worry about writing - just revising and research is enough.

Dostique,

Hello! In a nutshell, I run my own membership site specializing in Reseller packages that offer Master resale Rights and other e-books, software, videos, etc that include Private Label Rights, plain old Resale Rights and others for just personal use.

One of my future plans for my site is to combine all the offerings available in Turbo and JayKay that are permissable to do so. I feel if you can afford the price tag 67.00 for JK and 97.00 for Turbo then you can't go wrong! One other you might want to check out is Ian Del Carmens Fireball membership.

I do have a Cpanel Video Tutorial available and would be happy to help you out with it if you don't find what your looking for soon. As Steven said above, Filezilla is a very good Free resource and works very well...I use it myself and always have great results uploading my files, etc without encountering any snags. Hope this helps.

Sonja

Hi Debra,

I have been a member for many years now and I can tell you for sure that TM is not just about resale rights. TM teaches you from the ground floor up all the things you need to properly run your online business. You get to experiment with the different money streams or avenues of IM. Not only that, but you are given the backbone tools you will need to conduct your business. Yep it is included in the price.

You get your own hosting account that you can add unlimited domains to, your own business mangement system, Fantasos, but soon will be Delavo. You will learn how to create your own products and are given monthly PLR, scripts, photograhps, music themes, blog themes, articles...I mean you name it and you've got it.

Plus you can pop into the turbocommuntiy forum and ask any questions you like. There are weekly training sessions on various components of running your business....and these are lives sessions where you can talk directly with the instructor Donna.

So you see, it is an education you will get along with the tools you will need to succeed. I highly recommend it.

dlwalsh

Hi Debra

TM is not just about resell rights. It is about everything to help you become successful.

One thing that is offerd by TM that is very beneficial is 2 online conferences of 2 hours EVERY month plus a 4 hour hands-on workshop held once per month (and I am the one that does these).

The conferences cover everything from affiliate marketing to writing sales copy and everything in between. The past workshops have been on setting up a blog, setting up an autoresponder, setting up a forum, learning HTML, etc.

And these have been recorded.

PLUS you can contact me during set hours through Skype for 1 on 1 help for any questions that you may have about anything IM related. And if anyone needs visual help, I meet them in the conference room to SHOW them how to do what they need help with.

And, the TM forum is a font of knowledge and is full of very helpful people willing to answer any question you may have. Our philosopy: The ONLY dumb question is the question not asked.

But I am not going to lie to you! To be a success, you NEED to work hard and there is no way around that no matter what you decide. But with the TM, you will have a helping hand every step of the way.

I have been a TMer since May 2006 and I think the TM is the best memebrship on the net. My favorite saying is "I would starve before I ever gave up my Turbo Membership" And I really mean it too.

Donna

TurboMembership has helped many marketers in their Internet Marketing efforts and has grown to embrace new technologies and strategies that are already setting higher standards in the industry. But maybe the most important trend is INTEGRATION and CENTRALIZATION.

nathanro

Debra,

As I see it, there are only 2 ways to start your internet marketing efforts
The right way and the wrong way.

The wrong way involves learning all the wrong things from all the wrong people.

The right way is learning all the right things from the right people.

John Delavera is one of those right people who does things right to teach others the right things.

You could start with others, that is fine, but trust me, eventually you will come back and decide that TM is the best choice to make, and then you will have to re-learn things the right way.

Of course some people will not agree with me, but again, I only care what the right people think

I have learned from John more in the past 6 months than what I have learned in the past 3 years from every one else (and when I say everyone, I use the term very broadly, I currently have over 1 terabyte of information that is IM related)

NgYeoNam

Hi Debra,

I have been a member of TurboMembership since Sept 2006.

Prior to joining TurboMembership, I was a complete beginner
to Internet Marketing. TurboMembership provides me with the
necessary knowledge, training and tools that enable me to
start my online business.

John Delavera is sincere in helping his members to succeed online.
Notwithstanding his busy schedule, he answers members' questions
no matter how trivial those questions are.

You mentioned Delavo. I understand that anyone can get this
great ecommerce platform free only during May 17 to May 24. So,
don't miss it.

Debra, please feel free to PM me if you have questions on cpanel
and ftp.

To your success.

Brian--- gb4biz---- stevenh512 --- sonja

I appreciate the information--- reviews and suggestions from each of you it is all great info in helping me make my decision on TM---- so far it has only been good responses---- I think I am going to wait and see what is offered on May 17th when Delavo is launched before I purchase TM !!!

Thank you and for replying ----- Debra

Dostique

Hi Donna
Thank you for the reply-----from your reply it sounds like you a little more than a member of TM---- I have joined a few other memberships that promise great support and after you join you may get an answer to your support ticket 48 or more hours later and when you receive your answer it's a half a sentence that really does not answer your question---- then you have to start over --- look somewhere else for the answer or give up--- there is just no way of every time you have a problem you can not solve yourself ---- waiting three or for day's to get an answer---- you loose interest real fast----

Do you feel Tm has great support ??

Every one mentions that TM has all the basic tool you need for IM-- but no one mentions what are the basic tools you get with TM are----- could you list the basic tools for me ???

Thank you Donna for the information and I would appreciate if you would respond with an answer to my questions-----Debra

Sonja

Support is excellent at TM. As I stated earlier, you simply come to the turbocommunity and post your questions and you WILL be helped. If you have technical issues you can still either post in the forum or put in a ticket at the helpdesk. I personally have never waited more than 24 hours for a response....really I never waited more than some hours.

I cannot speak for the action of others, because once you've been burned you tend to think that everyone else will do you the same. And of course I mean that statement in general as I too have done the same.

One bit of advice I can give you is this: You can have 1000 people rave about how they love a product or service, and then one person chimes in that says "I didn't have such a great experience", and you start to think uh oh! Well based on my experience, usually there was a unique problem that person had or either failed to follow instructions properly. And of course I can't leave out the fact that maybe the product or service was really bad for "that person". But answer this question, What business do you know of that has never had a complaint? Even some of the businesses that you may frequent and love has had a customer complaint about something

Nevertheless, YOU have to make the decision to move forward with doing business with them or not.

Okay now the tools...again that's where TM shines again. In order to manage your business you need a system in order to sell online. You need a system that will manage your products (sales pages, order pages, download pages, your payment links, etc.). You need a system that manages your customers and affiliates. You need a system that tracks your customers, products and sales. That is the system you get at TM. You can either use the system that is given to you when you join TM or you can purchase it outright and host it on your own server. That choice is completely yours.


And I could not have summed up more than what Nathan has told you below. I wasted so much time and money before TM that I am too embarrassed to tell you how much . You can learn the long hard way or take a short cut. That decision shall be up to you. Of course if you have anymore questions I will be glad to answer them for you.

Oh and go back and read the Turbomembership.com site and you will get more details there about what is included in the membership too!

dlwalsh

Hi Debra

It looks like Sonja has answered your questions.

But do as she suggests, read what the TM consists of at the Turbomembership.com site.

As far as support, I have never waited for an answer for more than a couple of hours and usually get an answer much faster than that.

And if you post in the forum, you usually get your answers very quickly.

PLUS, I am available to help you. I do have set hours on Skype but I usually help anyone when they need help, not 3 days from now. And I give you as much time as you need to understand what you are having problems with.

If you knew me, you would also know I NEVER give 1/2 sentence answers. Mainly because I like to talk a lot.

And yes, I am more than a member. I am a Super Moderator on the forum. And John has nicknamed me his Turbo Lady, a nickname that I am proud to be know by.

Donna

I am a member at Turbo Membership and I think that it is one of the best memberships out there.

I think it is a great place for someone who is just getting started in Internet Marketing.

Dostique

Travish90----nathanro----NyYoeNam------I would like to thank you for your replies and information about TM ---- I am pleased with all the positive feedback I am receiving and the help being offered !!!

I do realize that not everyone will like or hate a product it depends on the person--It is like doctors one person will like a certain Doctor while others dislike the same doctor!!! Some of the products and memberships I have purchased before may have been great it could have been me ---- I was not focusing ----I was jumping from product to product---- Now I am ready to settle down and focus and stick with one product----and that is what this post is about trying to find the very best learning tool----and from the response so far TM looks like it is that Tool !!!

Thank you-- Sonja I appreciate your replies and information very much---Debra

Dostique

Donna-----Thank you for your response---- In a membership one of the most important parts to me is the support ( very discouraging to be working on a project and have to stop for 3 day for a solution to a problem) from your reply it sounds like TM has great support!!

Tools-- Do you have to purchase an Editor -- use Kompozer or is Contepass one of the tools in TM package ????

I have a feeling that Delavo may have something to do with an Editor!! (Just my Guess)

From the response here about TM I would say that you should be very proud to be nicknamed the Turbo Lady of such a great membership----Debra

RoyChan

A good thread -

Wondering if TM offer a lighter version for intermediate level marketers, who have already used autoresponder and dedicated hosting account, as I believe $97 a month without the need to use those 2 functions would be an overkill, considering TM seems to be all-in-one package for newbies.

Thanks for your advice in advance.

dlwalsh

Hi Debra

There is no HTML or WYSIWTG editor with the TM but there are many free ones. I just recently held a workshop on using HTML Kit (a free HTML editor with a paid option that adds additional functions) and that has been recorded.

ContePass is a CMS but it is requires another purchase as it can be a stand alone or integrated with Fantasos and/or Delavo.

Donna

dlwalsh

Hi Netpro

Yes there are different options where you can get TM without hosting and without autoresponders.

BTW The TM is not just for newbies. There are some advanced IMers in the membership also.

Donna

RoyChan

Hi Donna,

Where is the link to those options? Thanks in advance.

Roy

Hi debra,

i cannot resist this thread.... i'm also a newbie and i spent my first $97 joining this membership last march. i get a lot of goodies and it help me in getting started. Donna is alwasy there in the forum and is very active i saw her in most of the threads there and i think she's always a top poster .. compliment to donna

you'll get goodies everymonth, from theme,templates, script or ebook that are very useful. If you choose the $97 package you'll get the hosting and turboautoresponder also.... i think those are enough to get started.

my opinion, there are many stuffs to explore in there. having said that, taking action is the main key

suriati

TommyLinsley

Debra (Dostique),

You have gotten a lot of good information and responses already.
I would say that speaks very well of Turbo Membership- TM.

Yes, I too am a TMer, and I have been for a few years. And yes, I too in the past
have spent a ton on the "other" IM information. Actually, I looked high and low for
about 10 years for the perfect spot for a serious-minded entrepreneur.
After all that looking, TM is the only total package. I admit there are other ways
to work online, some very good and some very bad.

I say total package because John Delavera has made it simple for beginners and
also useful for advanced, established marketers. Lots of people make their first
IM dollar as a result of TurboMembership. And, there are also some established
marketers that are widely recognizable. Actually, another commenter suggested here
to you in this forum the membership of one of our TM members.

John delivers more than I could ask for. I've often wondered how he can
manage to do much for us for so little asked in return. I've said before, in the TM we
are like a family. Everyone provides to each other as much as they can.

As far as Delavo and Fantasos, a hosted account comes with TM. Beginners can
operate like the big boys. Centralized and automated. Yes, it still requires some
work, but don't believe those that say you can get rich overnight.

You had asked about HTML editors. I'm a firm believer in WordPress blogs.
WordPress is open-source and installs quick and easy. And, John provides WordPress
themes in the TM. Yes, it is good to still know some html, but with WP it will do
most things for you.

As far as support in TM, I've found that John's support team goes above and beyond.

A long response, I know. But, I tend to be passionate about the things I really
believe in.

RoyChan

Hi all,

I joined TM for about 2 weeks. It's nothing short of astonishing and it's definitely not only for newbie!

For your information, I came across TM 2 years back, did not know what TM was, except a hefty monthly price tag. Boy, was I wrong!

If you have been purchasing WSOs and other products, probably you are wasting money. Why? I realized I have thrown thousands dollars in the drain trying to learn the things I needed and wanted in the past... now I realize TM could have "easily" answered all those queries of mine.

If you have not joined TM site yet, you should consider to lock in the lowest possible price as early as you could... I am quite surprised by what I could get out of the membership. It's not about what products/ software you get from the site... but the logic and thinking behind of what a good internet marketer should possess... which is more important than the downloads/ products itself.

I was going to write a review about TM after I joined it for a week - but I realized that I could not possibly write a *complete* review of the site, as it contained so much VALUABLE IM information that I could not possibly give a comment on. Just the Yellow and Blue Book contain some vital information that my review comments will not be able to justify the information (wisdom) shared, and that's only the PRIMER of TM site... I am only touching the surface here. How am I qualified to review something I have not seen? Having said that, one thing I am sure though, if you are someone who are difficult to be pleased or hardly find value in anything, go try TM.

I am not sure if you will be "pleased", but I am sure you will find it hard to say to have *completely* reviewed TM and honestly admitted that it's not for you, as it is really so complete that it's almost impossible for you to say "No"

Now, I understand why the SalesLetter said this:

" ATTENTION: TM's History Since 2005 Has Proved That If You don't join today you'll come back here again in the future Regretting For The Time You Lost. "

It surely true.

Before you join TM, I have to warn you, if you are in the middle of preparing some project, it may change your way of doing business online (in a good way, of course). You may stick with TM for a good while...

My 0.00002 cents about TM,

Roy

Edit:
P.S. I forgot to mention, if you are considering to join TM, I suggest you PM dlwash, who knows TM inside out.

dlwalsh

Hey Roy!

And we are more than happy you joined us.

You are a very welcome addition to the Turbo family.

Donna
