Advice Please - JVManager2 or 1Shoppingcart??

16 replies
Hi guys

I'd really appreciate some advice about this from any warriors that have used or are using these products.

I'll be running my own events preety soon and I'm going to need a way to track and pay affiliates. I'll also want to be able to put products in a secure download area etc.

Advantages of one against the other? Price? Ease of set-up and use? (I'm no techie!)

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Roy

    Both are good....

    Im not sure on the price of JV2 but to use 1SC affiliate management you are looking at $99.00 per month.

    No matter what system you use, JV2, 1SC, UltraCart, Idelv, Infusionsoft etc there is always a bit of a learning curve.

    For me....1SC would be a quick set up and the best bet just getting started. 1SC also provides a second tier tracking function which is nice if you are looking for JV Brokers to promote to their affiliates and they have some pretty good customer service. You can also integrate aMember with them (an additional $99 for the plugin)

    From what I understand there is a bit more to do with JV2 ( I will leave that for my Warrior Friends who use that system). It is a nice system though.

    Simply put...to get up and running more quickly 1SC. Sign Up, Add products, load graphics, set up affiliates your ready to rock in a couple of hours.


    Highest Regards,
    Sean

    I'm a Jvmanager 2 customer, but I have no experience with 1shoppingcart. All I can say is that Jvmanager2/Fantasos has a pretty big learning curve.

    It has a vast amount of features, but that should be expected considering the price.
    Many top marketers use 1shoppingcart so I'm sure there has to be something about it (maybe those marketers don't need all the features of fantasos...I sure dont). But at least I know that if I ever want/or need a specific feature, fantasos will be able to handle it.

    Hi Roy,

    I use JVManager 2 Fantasos (been using it for years) and definitely recommend it.

    You might want to check out my current WSO.

    I have not used 1shoppingcart so cannot really comment on it.

    Thanks guys, I really appreciate you taking the time to advise me on this.

    Judging on what you've both said it looks like 1SC for me then (as I said, I'm no techie that's for sure)!

    Oh well, here comes another learning curve I guess.

    Thanks again guys, very much appreciated.

    Hi Brian, sorry, you must have posted a nano second before I replied to Sean and R.

    I took a quick look at your WSO and it looks amazing, but I cannot allow myself to get sidetracked onto anything else at the moment as I'm preparing for my first event in the UK. (Damn, it looks tempting though!)

    Thanks for your input.

    Hi Roy,

    No problem - thanks for looking - just mentioned it because of the hosted solution of Fantasos.

    Hi Roy

    I have JVM2 and yes there is as others have said, a bit of a learning curve due to the fact that it does so much, but if you focus on one thing at a time (what you specifically need now) its quite simple.

    One of it's main functions and attractions is its ability to automate most of your business and run do it all from one location!

    There are also numerous plugins that can be purchased that extend its functionality in other ways.

    I think the current price is around $3000.

    I did not want to add my comment here since you may
    think I am biased. Feel free to think so.

    But...

    I created JVManager and then Fantasos because I wanted
    something BEYOND what other solutions were offering and
    targeted to INTERNET MARKETERS.

    And that's why I believe that EVENTUALLY a successful IMer
    will end up to Fantasos. Thus IMHO it's better to establish
    your platform once and for good, instead of testing the waters
    first with this and that and THEN start over again with Fantasos
    or wonder how you can import your existing customers, sales,
    affiliates, etc. into 1 centralized solution.

    I respect all other solutions offered online, but as people said
    chances are there is nothing you CANNOT do with Fantasos
    and that's because we are on a continuous development
    - more than 18 versions have been released since April 1, 2008
    and Fantasos 2 is coming.

    Lastly, why one could select a solution for him/herself when
    s/he can get a solution that allows him/her to SELL hosted
    accounts of that same solutions to others too.

    I hope you got a small idea.

    But as said, I may be biased.

      I have to echo his views. It's true, after using a number of systems, I'm done with just 2: Fantasos and DLGuard.

      In fact, if you ask me what I really like the most, I actually prefer..... QuickPayPro.

      But their support is horrendously 'world-class', I cannot use them at all.

      So, if you ask me, Fantasos gets my vote.

    Hi John

    Well, to be honest, you are a marketer that I respect greatly and I've followed what you do online for a good long time. So, biased or not, I respect your opinion.

    I've heard good reports about a number of systems and I ended up with it being a choice between these two.

    Thanks for your input John. Much appreciated.

      Nah...

      I respect your vote indeed,

    Fantasos is definitely better than any other John. Anybody that states different haven't tried it yet ;-)

    Hi All,

    Excuse the "mine's bigger than yours banter" - I got interested and had a look at the 1shopping thingie - main reason I would not go for it is that it is only available as a hosted solution from what I can see.

    Admittedly - I am a techie (though really I don't see any need for technical ability with Fantasos) but I would much prefer to buy my own well designed and well supported script than rent one at $99 a month.

    I know I offer the same thing i.e. hosted accounts but I would always encourage anyone to buy the script that they would be trusting their business to.

    In fact the main reason I have just launched my hosted accounts was not lack of trust or lack of anything - just wanted to be sure that I had everything in place to adequately support my hosted customers (not really into trusting this to someone else).

    Roy,

    I've been using 1SC for about 3 years. And its pretty easy to setup and the learning curve ain't that steep. And they have recently upgraded their features and functions. In fact I love that that much that I have 2 1SC accounts.

    At the moment I'm also using a hosted solution of JVM2. And while I admit the learning curve is abit more. It looks much more robust and powerful. And I certainly see myself purchasing JVM2 in the near future to grow the business. =)

    Might be good if you have specific areas that you want the system to perform so that a better comparison can be made.
