Hi there,

one day ago I watched a very interesting video about a new business-in-a-box system.

I wonder if somebody already purchased it and can give a detailed
review about what this package includes and if it is worth the $497?

Aggressive Wealth Generation - Exclusive Offer

Thanks.

Dirk

Hi Dirk:
Hey, my first post. I finally decided to stop lurking. I'm not putting any links in my signature to exclude the possibility of any impropriety. I’m not associated with AWG in any way. I too, saw the video the other day, and I must say was intrigued. So being the good little marketer that I am, I Googled both Newman and AWG-nothing showed up! How could that be? He said that he’s been in the business many years, but no SE results? So I proceeded on to my next step to check out someone or a product- I contact the help desk. If they don’t answer me, I cross them off my list. An interesting answer came back-but it was from Eric Rockefeller??!! It said:
Hello Denis,
Mike Newman has never released a product before without doing a joint venture. He has done several with Eric Rockefeller, including Affiliate Rockstar Inner Circle. This is the first product that he has released using his name. Please be assured that this is a very good product and has a 60 day money back guarantee just like clickbank. If you have any questions please ask. You can also contact our office at 561-833-4378. Thank you.

Okay cool, but what’s that connection? Now when Googled (a couple of days later) A VERY strong recommendation comes in from Howie Schwartz with some KILLER bonuses. Howie calls Mike a good friend and AWG great program.

I still haven’t pulled the trigger, though. There’s another program that just came out as well –Bullet Cash Method-that’s getting some lively debate here on WF. When it rains, it pours.

I probably didn’t help you all that much, just passing on what I found out. I’d be interested in finding out more as well.

Regards,
Denis

Hi Denis,

thanks for letting me know about it.

I received a reply from the helpdesk too and it was Eric Rockefeller who
replied to me with the following answer:

---------------------

This software will be available on our servers, or you can download it to your servers, we use this inhouse to manage are outsourcing so we will teach you how to use it and include training for the people you outsource too as well.

I'm sure you can see that this alone is worth it, as there is no software based around Internet Marketing specifically for this.

However this module will not be available until the outsourcing module week 6, because we are delivering content in weekly modules.

But you will have lifetime free access, and when we release it, it will be probably be $1997 with a monthly fee as well...

---------------------

This was his answer to my questions about the module which is included called P.I.M.P.

Maybe others have more news about this product?

Hey to everyone, this is my first post, so take it for what you will...

If you do a whois search on the aggressivewealthgeneration.com domain it's registered to Eric Rockefeller. Using Mike Newman as an alter-ego?

I thought it was strange, also that Google provided zero results when searching for Mike Newman -- I mean, I expected at least a blog or Twitter account.

I did go ahead and buy the course, to evaluate and see what's up. It was supposed to "start" yesterday with live video and access to the "training" area, but I have yet to receive an activation code to access the member's area and received an email from "Mike Newman," today (June 23) saying they want everyone of the "elite 300" to start the training at the same time and "We plan on starting training this Monday, June 22nd."

Yesterday, the member's area log-in page said training would start at 6PM EST. When I returned at 6, it had changed to 8PM EST -- Now it says it will be up by the end of today (6/23).

These are just my experiences, so far -- no judgment either way, just providing the information I have.

I can say I don't have a real "warm, fuzzy" feeling about it, so far.

Dirk Wagner

Hi Tim,

thanks for the new about this site.

Please update this post when you have your first experience from the live video and let
us know if it will become available for download too.

Thanks.

Dirk

TimJones

I will definitely keep this thread updated with what I think of the product, as well as whether or not anything becomes downloadable.

Paul Hooper

Hi,

I have just received my activation code now (after 2 days), enterered it into the thankyou page along with username and password, then got redirected to the P.I.M.P login page.
Tried to login with the details I just used the minute before but it comes up with "incorrect username or password" message?? For sure it was the same details I just created the minute before!
I also tried clicking on the "forgot username or password" link, but it just comes back to the login page, no email sent with the login information.

Is anyone else having these problems?

I was beginning to think I had been scammed as I hadn't received any contact about this for a couple of days, now I do and it doesn't work...it's all getting very frustrating. $500 bucks should get you better service than this! Hope the product is worth it (if I ever get that far!).

Anyone else who has paid for this, please let me know if you are having problems too.

Cheers,
Paul

TimJones

Yes, Paul. I had the same thing happen -- I haven't sent an email to support, based on your account and the fact that I sent an email to support, yesterday and still haven't received a response.

I'm about to just cancel the whole thing and just ask for a refund...if I can even get that..

Paul Hooper

Hi Tim,

I've sent a few emails to their support address and not had one reply yet. let me know how you get on with your refund, I think i will be joining you very soon.

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks Guys for the Info:

It sounds like their "secret, underground, for subscribers only, under the radar, limited offer" worked so well that they're having trouble filling up the 300 spots. It appears as though they're holding back until they fill the ranks up a little more. If their own numbers are correct, then there are still 143 spots still available.

The idea still sounds interesting. I'm hoping that the initial problems don't reflect sub standard content. I'm still holding off...

Denis

Paul Hooper

Hi Denis,

I hope they have just delayed it and they're not lying in a hammock somewhere in the Caribbean sipping Pina Colada's they bought with our money.
It does sound good if it's legit, but I'm losing faith rapidly to be honest. You would think when spending that kind of money that they would communicate a bit better and let people know what's going on. That's the reason why I'm thinking more and more us paid members have been completely scammed!
Anyway, I will keep this thread updated with any progress, or movement what-so-ever from their side.
Hope I can bring some good news to this thread soon

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

In my initial post #2, I gave a contact telephone number that Eric Rockefeller's office gave me-don't know if you saw it.If you have any questions please ask. You can also contact our office at 561-833-4378.

It might help if the emails haven't been answered.

Hello,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I really love the product. Yeah, it took a couple days for them to get me the login information and a very nice girl even called me to explain the technical difficulties as to why I received my login late. I understand that technology isn't perfect and I appreciated the prompt response. I also did some research on Mike Newman and found several sites about him. So I am not sure what search engine that the person above was using that couldn't find him. I have been reviewing the first weeks modules today and I am very impressed. They have come through so far with everything that they promised me. So those of you that are skeptical give it chance. I know that you will learn something just from the first week of training modules.

TimJones

Well, here is my update from the day:

I emailed support about the login issues: no response

I emailed a different address that was on the original reciept: no response

I called the number that Denis mentioned above: no answer -- at least 30 rings, no answer

I emailed support to get a refund: no response

Currently filed a dispute with credit card.

I find it interesting that the positive post above came from someone with the same name as the "support" person provided in the login email.

Nicole5283

There is a bunch of Nicole's in the world lol. I can show you the email I received if you want from support to prove it to you. Everyone is so skeptical.

magicmojo

I'm with you on this one Tim.

Nicole, the question would be: What search engine were you using? I was using something called, ahh, what was the name of that thing....oh yea, GOOGLE! Go ahead and tell me what number search result is Mike first mentioned?

And only you seem to have the whole first week under your belt?...Hmmmm....What was the explanation of why no login?

Enough said. Sorry Tim-Good luck.

Denis

Nicole5283

I found Mike Newman on Twitter, MikeNewmanMarketing.com, and he has also been mentioned on several social media sites. I was told by the support desk that there was an issue with the shopping cart and they told me I would receive my login shortly and I did receive it yesterday and a reminder email to activate my account today. I don't have the whole first week under my belt. I briefly reviewed the material sent to me to make sure it was what they promised. I hate negativity and I did not go on this site to be attacked. I came on to give my honest review on what I thought. Yes there were some kinks in the begining with techinical issues but they did contact me and everything seems ok now.

No Attacks-Just The Facts:

FACT 2:
Out of about 30 Mike Newmans on Twitter:
Couldn't specifically find him


FACT 3:
Not Found On Google-AT ALL!

Even little 'ole me is found on Google...
Just callin' 'em as I see 'em

Paul Hooper

Nobody is attacking you Nicole, people are just getting very frustrated because we are getting no answers! You are the only one who seem's to be able to log in. I have received an initial email with an activation code...it didn't work. I received an "Activation code reminder" email a few hours ago, again IT DOESN'T WORK!

Don't you think it's strange that for a high priced product we get no follow up emails, other than a false activation code. Why is it that none of my emails to another "Nicole" at the support desk haven't been answered?

This is turning into a $500 nightmare that sticks of SCAM. I hope I am wrong, and if I am I will be the first to apologise to anyone I've offended, but my faith in this "Aggressive Wealth Generation" system has all but diminished!

Paul

TimJones

I finally did get a response, but it wasn't from Aggressive Wealth's support, it was through Eric Rockefeller's gmail address and his support email: support AT generalsupport.helpserve.com

They told me my login would work, now and "we're sorry, but we couldn't find any help tickets with my name on them." Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm sending those emails to the wrong address?

I logged in and watched the first week's videos (quickly scanning through them, not detailed watching) and I found it to be very basic. What is internet marketing, researching a niche using Google keyword tool, finding products to fit your niche at ClickBank, etc. The resources were "not available at this time," the bonuses were "not available at this time."

My guess: you'll continue to get basic stuff until you're outside your sixty days.

Definitely proceeding on with the refund and using the correct email, this time.

IMGE

It looks like things are getting done behind the scenes; before my login was the part of my email before the @ sign, now it's the whole email.
I really think they should have tested the site to make sure it basically works before putting it up on the marketplace, it's a surefire way to lose a lot of customers who are getting impatient. Having said that, the first 300 are probably guinea pigs for a beta version.. I guess we're paying less not to have the convenience of a fully functional site.
Also the audio on the videos sounds like it's been recorded in a rather large room and then gated - i.e. the audio data cuts out when lower than a certain decibel level. They should really have re-recorded it but you can hear what he's saying well enough. I'm a little concerned with the lack of support everyone seems to be receiving, but I'm waiting on the site being up and running in full before passing judgement.
The video player doesn't appear to agree with Safari, but it's ok with Firefox.

Having said that, the set-up looks good, they have Q&A ready to go next to each video. The PIMP is straightforward and has an easy to use interface. It looks like they're delivering what they've promised, even if there are set-backs along the way. This site may have some problems teething but in time they may well have it sorted. The first few videos look like they are helpful to a beginner, and serve as a good introduction to information products. I get the impression that you'll be shown how to pick the right products to sell, not just how to sell them.

All in all, jury's still out on this one.

marcusdunn

Yes...that smells of a charlatan...a hoodwinker...a snake oil salesman.

Let's look at being CONGRUENT with the message...

Or is it that he has total disdain for his customers...

Whatever it be...if the marketer who put out this launch was the real deal, he would have a support team READY to service his customers...who he CLAIMS he wants to be lifelong CLIENTS.

Yes...I can name some big guys in the IM arena that did launch something as they were going on vacation - that is just plain STUPID and disrespectful to your potential clients. Why? Haven't you NOTICED that something INVARIABLY goes wrong with many of these launches?

Either REAL or ORCHESTRATED?
(you don't REALLY believe I believe you double billed a bunch of people, eh?)

I even tracked ONE guru launch that was selling so SLOW that he couldn't believe it didn't sell out fast. So, what did he do? He FEIGNED scarcity and put a great big SOLD OUT sign on the site, built a list of MISSED OUTERS and predictably REOPENED a few days later to sell out all the spots that never sold...or at least enough to pay for whatever goodie he was targeting this launch for.

What all of you guys have been talking about is being treated not like a client, but like a NUMBER. That does not engender CONFIDENCE at all.

Remember...the marketers who are recommending him...MANY of them probably did not even take a look at the product. They are not recommending this product to their list out of good will. They are recommending it because they get PAID when you act on the offer. OR...they get a favor of a return solicitation to THEIR list.

So...

There was once a saying that if it SEEMS to be too good, it usually is.

Now...let's put this LAUNCH against a recently completed one: namely Google Conquest. You got INSTANT ACCESS to the site and MORE than a 60 day guarantee.

Several days later you got UPDATED passwords to the MAIN site and passwords to ONE of the main tools. You got ACCESS before WEEK ONE was out to the main software. And...

I got answers to my email in less than 48 hours.

I can tell you that I was HAPPY with that service of the service.

I can ALSO give you a horror story of a service that never completed what they were contracted to do in their first 30 days and NEVER did, but attempted to REBILL me for $1197.
I did not get my initial $1197 back, just the rebill. The main selling point of this service was never delivered. And what was done was just not up to par with what was being charged.

And...

That service was also backed by a big name in the IM arena.

The email I received about THIS offer you are talking about was from a big name in the IM arena. So...if they PIMP their list for any charlatan, it tells you something about them.

I agree with "IMGE". I was frustrated in the beginning and was about to refund my order. But I did eventually get a response from them. Unlike Tim Jones I understand why it was coming from a different email address due to the fact that their emails were not being forwarded. Yes, that probably should have been tested but when you are paying a company to forward your emails for you that should not happen either. Probably a bit embarrassing on their part. But onto the product. I like the videos and how easy the portal is to use. And as for Tim Jones also saying that it was a little too basic they did tell me in the video that they were going to start from the beginning and work their way to the advanced stuff. This program is designed for newbies not experienced Internet Marketers. So if you are a newbie I would recommend this product. The way I see it is there is a 60 day return policy and 8 weeks of training I will know if it is worth it or not in time to refund. I plan on sticking with it and seeing where this goes. Everyone has kinks in the beginning its whether or not you follow through with what you promise.

Marc Davis

Don't believe all the negative info on here. I believe that there are some haters out there that just wish they had thought of this idea and don't understand that there are some technical difficulties. Obviously they got resolved or IMGE would have never gotten in either or myself.

Paul Hooper

Hi Marc,

I think all of the negativity stems from the lack of communication from the product creators. If you are launching a higher priced product such as this one then you should keep your members updated with what exactly is going on. Their support address didn't work, they should have tested their forwarding company before the launch. BUT they should have sent emails to all paying customers informing them of the delays and that the program should be functional soon. That would have eased a lot of the problems.
Now it doesn't leave a good taste in the mouth, I'm sure they will get many refund requests because of this.
I guess a lesson can be learned from this...how NOT to do a launch!

Cheers,
Paul

TimJones

Just as an update, I did get a refund.

I didn't intend on this becoming so negative. I just became very uncomfortable when I could not find Mike Newman in Google and when I searched on the "Aggressive Wealth Generator", WF was the first listing to pop up. I became more uncomfortable when several emails were not answered and the support phone number had no answer, either.

In spite of the first week being very basic, I probably would have stuck with the program, also, but I wasn't even sure this was completely legit and honestly believed I might have just lost $500. If I had had more confidence that I could get a refund at 50 days in, I probably would have stuck it out to see if things improved.

PaymentMaven

I received an email to review this opportunity from Mike Newman.
- I Googled and found nothing on the chap.
- There is no About Me or address on the view video page.
- There is no mention in the video describing the actual products to sell. So I guess it may be something like generic like, Copywriting Secrets, or Build a List Secrets. or Get More Traffic Secrets.

Hopefully, other product launches from this fellow and others will include this type of information, and like many others have said, available communication.

Dirk Wagner

Any new reviews about the second week's course or other opinions about the package?

Thanks.

Hi Ankit,

thanks for your opinion but I think your comment
is too general that it would be helpful for anybody here.

Does anyone have a telephone number or an email that works so I can contact them?

Help!

RNixon

Hi everyone. I have been trying to contact support since launch and have not received a single rply. This really smells like a scam to me. I purchased the bonus ppc product and didn't get it, I also didn't get access for over 3 weeks and have been requesting for a refund (you will all remember Mike Newman is so confident that he gives an iron clad 100% money back guarantee plus your intial $497 back as well!) I think he bit off more than he could chew and has not supplied the content that we signed up for. I am going to make a dispute with my credit card so be warned. Is anyone else having any luck getting there money back?
