Anyone Plan On Buying Delta Squadron?

Spare us the b.s. - your sig is an affiliate link.

WOW is all I have to say.

LMAO. Ellie has some bite.

Yeah, seriously dude.

If you heard hype, then explain what the hype is?

And you "suddenly" plan on buying after "YEARS"???

Let's get serious here....well, since you won't let me break it down for ya.

A. You jumped on the Affiliate BandWagon for Delta Squadron.
(Obviously because you have the affiliate link in there)
B. You ask people about hype & say you plan on buying it?
--Well, I'd like to hear your reasons why.. You may know something we don't know.

Seriously, all the BS plain & simply has to stop.
I plan on outing anyone who tries to BS me & say things that make absolutely no sense.

Way to go, Ellie!

I got a few emails about this. Supposedly, it's already sold out. What made me hesitate -aside from the fact that it was gone before I got home today, lol- is that you only have to put up $1, but this includes a membership site that costs $97/month. The first 30 days are included, but you have to cancel or you'll be billed. Now I may be getting a little jaded, but how much new information can there be out there that's worth almost $100 monthly? Btw, the link that was in the original post is supposed to be a review site, but it was written before the product was released and is basically a rehashing of the sales page. I'd be curious to hear from anyone who actually bought the product. I'm sure it'll be available again soon. The "sold out" technique is sometimes part of the marketing strategy...wow, I am getting cynical.

You're not being cynical Larry, you're being realistic- Can't say anything about the course or the content, but I've said this before in other posts and in other forums but-

WATCH THE GURUS!

Do what they DO, not what they SAY!

It's sort of a hidden code, but actually is blatantly obvious if you know what you're looking for-

The common marketing "tactics" - time running out; deadlines; limited quantities; having a "fire sale," a "tax" sale; a damaged merchandise sale; "flood sale" - Call it what you will, it's all marketing! (And I'm not criticizing it, I'm trying to highlight that what everybody here needs to do is go out and get some Dan Kennedy courses or something that will bring them quickly up to speed) - and Then, Again - DO what the Gurus DO - NOT what they SAY!

I made my kids late for school so that I could buy it. I got it and even got some bonuses. I knew there would be a catch with the $1 thing and boy was there...a few hard sell OTO pages. Pricey too. I almost got one and had to clear my cache to get it out of my cart. I've been looking at a lot of his stuff lately and I think there's a lot of value in it. I haven't had a chance today to look at this program too much but so far it seems pretty good. I'll keep you posted as I get into it.

Don - You get it - That was my point exactly-

I saw an email from an affiliate this morning that said all orders were cancelled. True?

I thought I'd invest the $1 to see what it was all about. Right now there are 18 videos to watch (12-44 minutes long, usually around 20 minutes) and an audio file. The videos are a documentary of the last launch (The Golden Thread, October 2008). He explains his principles and strategies and then shows how he implemented them.
So, it's all about having your own product and launching it.

For $1 it's very good value. There are more things to come, like live webcam sessions once a week, so that's what you'll get for the $97 he'll charge after the trial period.

The claim of earning $1,000,000 in 7 days is a bit (well, more than a bit) misleading. He took that amount within the first seven days of launching his product, but then he worked for months on actually creating this product, organizing the prelaunch and networking like crazy.
Also he has resources most of us have not, like full time staff, a huge list and an army of JV's.

Anyway, if you have your own product, I would recommend this, as most of his tips are quite useful (at least for a month so you can watch the videos and see if you want to go on paying for the webcam sessions). Not sure if this makes sense for affiliate marketers.
As I understand it, it's sold out already, but there's a waiting list for the next launch.

Hope that helped a bit.

Oh, and hello... I'm new to the forum ;-)

Thanks for the review, and welcome to the forum :-)

I almost got into Michael Cheney's Delta Squadron but when I check out the website, it was all sold out! I was a few hours too late.. One of the main reason I wanted to get it was because of Brian Johnson's bonus.

Michael gave good videos during the prelaunch and when I saw the entry price of $1 and a recurring monthly of $97, I was quite surprised. When I visit the salespage a 2nd time a few hours later, it was all gone..

I heard that there were some problems with payment processor or something.

Yeah, the payment processor was a bit messed up and put out duplicate orders. But as a result the ones that got in don't have to pay the recurring billing. The downside is that the webcam sessions have been postponed.

I imagine the gates will open quite soon again, so keep checking back and put yourself on the waiting list if you still want to get in.

I got the same email (even twice, presumably because of the duplicate orders). I sure hope he keeps his word.

That's true, unless Mr Cheney thinks of something there. Also the question is how many would have stayed on after the trial. I don't think I would have (or will, should this free membership turn out to be untrue).

I would like to give a little advice here and take it as you will. docmatt replied to this post with a comment stating the following:

WATCH THE GURUS!

Do what they DO, not what they SAY!

In Internet Marketing, marketing changes with time. Although the same principles apply today as they had 100 years ago, we have to adapt with what is working now. The reason that the Gurus are making massive amounts of cash is due to them changing with the times. They also have built multi-million dollar businesses and have the money to test essential marketing strategies. If you are a beginning newbie, now is the time to begin watching what the GURUS do! I say this because as a beginner on the internet marketing scene, many have not made any money online and a very small percentage make a steady income each and every month. Without the money to test and track, marketing becomes obsolete. In essence, by watching what current GURUS are doing, you will learn what is working now. Areas to begin focusing attention on include how pre-launches are structured, emails sent during pre-launch, videos released during pre-launch, opt-in pages and copy structure to include headlines, overall opt-in page structure, redirection after opting in, and any live video webshows or teleseminars being conducted just to name a few. On launch day, take a look at the copy that sells the product and read it thoroughly. Notice how the copy flows -- What is the GURUS story? If you decide to purchase the product, and I suggests you do, notice what the sales process is. Analyze the complete sales process from salesletter through one-time offers to payment. Once you have completed payment, make note of the delivery of the product -- Is the product being offered through a membership site (most are today), or is it just a thank you page. Again, analyze everything and make a note of everything that comes to your attention. Although you will not see a lot of behind-the-scenes setup, you can get an overall view of how things progress through a major launch. This is just a small sampling of how you can learn from the gurus. Begin to pay attention and understand that the reason GURUS are using these strategies is due to the fact that they work.

Yup, 'sold out' surely doesn't really apply here... True. Why else would he say on his website that he wouldn't do his webcam sessions (cashcasts or whatever) because there were not enough members to make them worthwhile?
I was merely quoting the website with them big letters saying 'sold out'.

I have to agree to John Hayes, you can actually learn a lot from this or any launch. If you just analyze the sales letter, emails and maybe make a list of different promotional stuff you see, there is a lot you can apply to your own internet enterprise.

Having gone through Michael Cheney's Golden Thread program I will attest to his professionalism and ability to deliver. I also think he may have overstepped himself this time with the annoying upsells and technical glitches which really ticked a lot of people off. I am sure he is reeling from the snafus and will no doubt re-group and come back with a good product. Let's wait and see......

I too would like to get a review of M. Cheney products.

I didnt buy it because it lacked credibility. Why? Because the story behind this launch was that the guy was penniless a few years ago and then turned things around. However doing a search on his bio and he's been a reasonably successful IM for many years so which story is straight?

I bought this and will post a review as soon as I get around to it, Spent all day creating some automation for some basic tasks so I'll have some time over for reviewing new stuff now

I also puchased product and have started with the first videos. I am sure going to give it a full 30 day trial. The videos I've watched so far are great.

Still on the fence about getting this product, but for a $1 how can you go wrong as you can cancel before you get hit for the monthly subscription.

Cheers

Before seeing this thread, I put up a buck to test drive Delta Squadron. It appears to be a "retread" of a 2008 product launch of Golden Thread by Michael Cheney.

So far... I'm not impressed. Lot's of sizzle,... but where's the beef?

Canceling: I've got a sneaky way of being in total control of a "trial period". I used PayPal "Plug Ins" that generate a One time use only Secure Credit Card #. After the initial one dollar payment was completed, I went into PayPal and closed the card.

Now there's really not a choice to cancel my subscription.... they are not going to get paid either way... or... if it's really worth it, I will redo another secure card for another month...

However.... from what I've seen, Delta Squadron is for newbies, not worth $97/mo and right now, I plan on cancelling.

It's under the "Financial Services" tab in PayPal. Click PayPal Plug-in. It's a free download & installs quickly.
