Automated Sales Formula

Good call, I'm also looking for some reviews. Seems interesting but also a bit expensive and does not have a sales letter (though he claims this converts even better).

Hello,

I saw the sales video and sounds to good to be true. I wanted to buy but it would
be to big a risk for me without money back guarantee. I would have to make the
purchase price back in a month.

Good point about the 15 getting saturated. I would think that most people would put
this into action immediately.

I'll probably drop back in on this thread for a few days to see if there are more comments.

Personally I just really like his video sale
page. Outside of IM this form of sales
letter really goes over amazing.

I got an email for this earlier today and I watched the sales video. I didn't buy it. The price seemed high!

I was looking at this myself and wondering what the average cost of something like this is. I must admit I procrastinate when it comes to technical things a lot and just the sheer fact that someone else has it already done would help me out a lot.

Speaking honestly, I don't think I would ever finish all the fine details needed to set something like this up, due to daily time constraints, so I was willing to eat the cost just to get started and have a finished product. I see someone mentioned there are cheaper systems out here that do the same thing. Would you mind PMing me to tell me what they are by name so I can do some due diligence? I would greatly appreciate it.

The video was certainly a big talk up with the thousands of dollars worth of products being thrown in.

Although I am tempted I really don't want to part with that much money but if there was a monthly payment option then I really might have taken the bait!

I watched the video, too.

What I would be most interested in, is, whether this is really a fully automated method.

Per what I understood the only work you have to do is the 3 hrs setup of the system for each individual site/niche/product.
And from then on it's really automated with this "Twitter syphoon" and this other automated software he mentions? No regular blog posting, article writing, blog commenting etc. required to get constant traffic to the video page?

Does anybody have experience with that?

I rather would ask Keith himself or one of his team but I couldn't find any contact link or support email on his pages.

The Warrior Forum isn't Keith's favorite place as he has now been banned from this forum THREE times over the last couple of years.

As for Keith's latest product, it sounds remarkably like a couple of his other products. It sounds especially like his "Auto Pilot" product which caused a huge storm in 2008 due his extremely poor customer service.

Keith's company is notoriously difficult to contact - especially, it seems, if you want to cancel a forced continuity membership!

For the best reviews of Keith Wellman products, go to RipOffReport.com and search for his name.

I realise that many people on here think that RipOffReport is a load of tosh but I think you have to admit that a marketer with dozens of complaints, as Keith has, is obviously doing something very, very wrong.

I was actually very very tempted to whip out my cc to buy the very next minute. But i just had to google it to find more info.

There's no mention of any money back guarantee. But the order page does have a 100% satisfaction, no risk kind of stuff. I'm protected by his 100% money back guarantee. but it doesn't say how many days.

Another thing that makes me think more is.....are the niches going to be the same for all customers?? Is the content going to be unique? If his goal is to make 1000 millionaires...hopefully thru this program, then is he making sure that the niches are unique to every customer?

In my opinion, i think only a certain number of niches can be similar for customers. If all niches are similar for all customers, then the customers are competing each other with the same techniques that Keith suppose to teach. If there are several niches enough to be given 15 each for the 1000 customers at least, then competition will be at a healthy level with other affiliates. So at least there should be a 100 different niches to be spread out among all customers. Maybe i'm wrong here, but if i see all customers having the same 15 niches, I'm seeing very little value here.

Even so...i'm quite tickled by the twitter software. hmmm.

I was wondering about the lenght of the guantee myself, I'll be waiting here to see if Kieth will come back and answer.

And I was wondering about the niches and 1000 people also, maybe we'll get an answer

I am an active user of Keith Wellman's Easy Sales Formula, I've created and profited from many of the sales videos with his video skinning method and by the time you're done reading this, I hope it'll help you. I've made quite a number of videos ever since and have become better at it.

It was June 29th, 2009.. I've already received numerous emails about the Easy Sales Formula and there was a call in the morning. I quickly signed up for it and listened to the call. I knew about this sales formula way before it was launched to the public in May when there was a paid workshop.

Watching Keith present his presentation with a small group of about 20 people, I was amazed at the way the system was structured and it was something that I have been looking for, a structured way to sell using videos. But it wasn't the full thing but I was excited.

At launch day June 30th, I bought the program and within a day after I purchased it, I took action (I listened to the first two or three modules and immediately took some notes.) Technically, I used about 30% of his videos. More information and proof below.

The formula was easy to understand, structured and straight forward, it includes one of the strategies that most internet marketing "consumers" would generally be complaining about - the "Price Drop" formula. (The It's Not Going To Be $10k,$5k, etc) This single module plays an important role in selling, it builds anticipation and excitement, that's the psychology behind it. Does it work? You bet it does! This is just one of the modules within the sold-out Easy Sales Formula.

I tested two of my sales videos. One with the price drop and another without and the one with it converted better than the one without. Just not implementing a single module made a huge difference!

So, did I make money with this Video Skinning formula? YES. How much? Over the past year after the ESF launch, at least $9000 in sales for various niches and services that I launched. Surely everyone by now wants to see some proof. There's no way I could put together all the checks, screenshots and websites and reveal everything (look at sig)..that's not the point. The point is that the Easy Sales Formula video skinning method is a "Formula" , a "Structured System" put together for maximum conversions to close sales either as an affiliate or product vendor.

If you were ever in sales, you were trained how to build rapport, emphasize benefits, ask for the sale and get the prospect to become a paying customer. It's not that simple but that's really it, getting a person to buy. I am not from a sales background but for self improvement I read Brian Tracy's The Psychology of Selling and other books that mentioned steps to sell. Those old books out there teach the fundamentals of selling that is now adapted for online usage. Keith was the one who was able to put that information together and make it easy for people to learn.

What did I do? How did I do it? Believe me..it had nothing to do with PPC, not even a list. Read on.

Here's the shocking truth, when I had the opportunity to attend the Easy Sales Formula Live event, I did a quick survey personally on top of the question that Keith asked, "How Many People Used The Easy Sales Formula?" There were quite a few hands that went up but there were some who didn't as well. So I asked a member and asked how he did with the program and he told me that he did nothing with it.

That's why I think the ready made videos the "Automated Sales Formula" is a huge improvement and advantage because there are truly no excuses not to make money with this system now.

And now, some complimentary content for those who are still at the edge of deciding whether this program is right for you.

I'll walk through some of the steps to create the videos and with the time that I spent on creating one. I'm a tech person so I do have a slight advantage over but it doesn't mean anything since the Easy Sales Formula came with the software to create videos as well.

Feel free to use this information for your own profits, I'm doing this just to tell you how much the ESF has helped me and I know that the Automated Sales Formula will do the same. The strategies that I share below reflects on the strategies that I have learned from Keith and from personal experience.

By the way, I've given away this exact formula to people and strangely most people don't take action on it although it's a gold mine..maybe since it's free the value drops? I don't know but for real..how many really take action on this?

Step 1: Choose A Product To Promote When A Guru Emails (10-20 Minutes)

You get emails everyday..I'm sure you'll be able to find one.

Identifying a product is simple. In fact here's the ONE tactic that I use all the time here when I want make some quick cash. "Guru Emails". Most people on a guru's list are pre-sold if the gurus did a good job with it. You can tell when you read their emails.

This strategy for most people is known as the guru launch formula, affiliate launch formula, whatever you name it etc.

It is most likely that the gurus have a list of over a thousand people and a percentage of those will look for product reviews, bonuses, scams etc.. or land here at the Warrior Forum.

Next, I suggest that you purchase the product for BEST and maximum effect, if not get a quick review copy. It's easy to get a review copy, just ASK for it. I've done it myself and it's usually an email away. Worse come to worse, you'll get a no for an answer. But for the most part vendors will give away their product.

Step 2: Create Your Video (Strictly Using The ESF Method) This is the "Lite" version (45 Minutes - 2 Hours)

What you'll need?

Keynote, Powerpoint, Open Source Powerpoint Software, A 30 Day Camtasia Trial, Camstudio Pro, HyperCam, any screen capture software that you know of.

The presentation can be in complete text form or with some screen shots of the product. Make sure you get permission. Plain Blue and Black backgrounds are best in my experience. Don't make the presentation fancy. Keep it clean.

Plan Your Slides With A Beginning, Middle and End

Beginning: Establish Credibility - Your Name(Add Real Photo If Possible), Why You're Doing This(Reason), Website(Location), Include An Attention Grabbing Statement,How You Intend To Solve This Problem or How Does The Product Solve The Problem, Why They Need It.

Middle: Establish Benefits - Product Benefits, How It Will Directly Help The Person, How You've Used It Personally, Show Some Proof, Agitate The Problem Slightly, Offer The Complete Solution Through The Product, Offer A Hard To Get Bonus, Irresistible Offer

End: Establish Price, Call To Action, Agitate Loss If They Don't Get It, Timed Deadline, Price Drop, Offer Help & Support, Buyer Satisfaction, Guarantee - These are psychological triggers that you can implement to get a person to take action. You choose which you are most comfortable with. Be sure that you tell them where to go, mention your affiliate link. The famous /go method after your domain name is suggested. A simple redirect method. If this is too complicated, send me a PM.

Now, the main meat of the video is done, you have to "render","produce" the video, rendering on Camtasia takes about 8-20 minutes depending on the speed of your computer and the length of your video. My experience with 12 minute videos are that it takes about 15 minutes to render on a 3GB laptop. Grab a cup of coffee, watch TV while waiting.

Setting all this up takes quick thinking and can take a person hours to do if they are just starting. I've been able to do things more quickly ever since I had more practice.

Finally, uploading it via FTP, takes about another 10-20 minutes depending on the speed of your internet connection. Connecting it with a domain name, hosting etc is another matter altogether.

Total time needed to complete one Easy Sales Formula video, from 2-3 hours if everything goes smoothly. At the most 4 hours unless you keep perfecting the video. I have a video with a ton of errors on it and it still converts today. Too afraid to make any changes since it's making me money.

Step 3: Getting Traffic (People Who Are Pre-Sold or Other Prospects)

The popular methods that are used nowadays for MAXIMUM rankings are:

Social Bookmarking sites:

Two of which I know ranks pretty quickly and also easily outranked by competitors - namely:

1. Mixx
2. Digg

Keyword Rich Domain Names (Super Targeted Keywords That Contains The Product Name)
productnamereview + bonus + other letter variations + s,ed,x,

Domain name extensions that rank highly on Google, marketers will love this when implemented (In Sequence after the .com name becomes less effective

1. .org
2. .net
3. .us
4. .com

For Yahoo, a .info domain name ranks highly easily as well. Not so much for Google unless the search volume is under 200k searches or have a ton of backlinks pointing towards the domain name.

Depending on the volume of sites out there, usually the domain .com will become less effective after all the affiliates buy variations of the .com domains for the product names. There are a few marketers who are now resorting to this quick domain extension "fix".

Article Sites That Rank Quickly and Outranks Quickly Because Many Affiliate Marketers Use These Strategies, More Competitive Nowadays: (Remember to use ProductNameReview Keywords For ALL)

GoArticles,Squidoo,Hubpages,Press Release Sites PRLog

-If you know Howie Schwartz, he's a real pro at locating Web 2.0 Properties, high ranking sites that gets you free organic traffic. You can get some ideas if you follow him.

Video Sites That Rank Quickly and Outranks Quickly:

YouTube,Viddler, Use TubeMogul whenever possible.

Finally "Pinging" - Do You Ping?
Pingomatic
Pingoat

Yes, you must Ping your site,articles so that the search engines know that your content is up to date!

And of course, remember the Warrior Forum and other forums - Inserting your signature.

Total time to submit and post to all sites, easily an hour to two hours after creating new accounts and doing things the manual way. There are ways to automated this process and even if the tools exist, the methods I have revealed here are sufficient for you to get some basic traffic.

Step 5: Finally, Self-Analysis , Testing etc.

Be sure to install Analytics and any other tracking devices.

If your offer, bonus and product is interesting(solves the problem,strikes a chord with the person), people will buy from you, even if they don't really know you personally. Otherwise, you can expect that the sales formula to not convert. When the video doesn't convert, ask questions, study what went wrong and test test test. Keep making videos and improve on it till it converts. I have had videos that totally flunk on me and videos that just converts.

Wow..now that's a lot of work indeed. That's taking action, the small steps that lead to the completion of a sales message that is distributed online for people to read,watch,listen and finally decide to buy if it is for them.

So once again, that's why I think the Automated Sales Formula can save people so much more time and the hours of creating those videos and worrying if it's perfect or not.

I hope you have found this post useful. It's a culmination of my best kept strategies that I use on a regular basis that makes me money. Feel free to doubt my methods but it's your call..and it is all thanks to Keith for sharing many of the tips that helped me. What I share may not be new but if you haven't tried any of the methods I stated or did but didn't do enough repetitions or iterations of it, then try it. As Tony Robbins say - Repetition is the mother of skill. Repetition of a proven system that is..

Finally, consider this, take action on money making activities. Debating on the forum is not going to bring you anywhere because the forum will "pre-occupy" your thoughts. Especially when you are posting on a forum that receives plenty of feedback, your mind will always want to fall back to that post and you'll end up writing 10 different posts on the thread which can easily accumulate into hours of unproductive time. Mike Filsaime said it once, avoid the "herd" mentality. Think for yourself and what is best for you. It's easier to find an excuse to not take action than to sweat it out.

Be a leader, grow your business and help more other people achieve their goals in life. Take control of the steering wheel. Read a book called "Think Big" by Ben Carson and Good To Great.

Good luck!

If you want to know how to make loads of money online listen very closely...

I have created a product that costs just $500.

I will give you a load of stuff for this and throw in a few exclusive bonuses worth over $20,000

Just click on the big old "I want to help 1000 get rich" button and then enter your payment details and then click on the "It is my life passion to help you" button.

Then I'll take the $500 and a little bitty payment each month and you will at least have something to look at on the internet. Keep on looking because I want to build a $30 a month relationship with you long term.

I may have been banned before, a few times, but that was just some click-happy nasty person.

You can trust me even though there is no mention of a guarantee. Why let that spoil our ongoing monthly relationship?

No rant intended but i just watched the video 25 mins ago, and to be all honest the only reason i got involved in internet marketing and other businesses online was to aviod these people who said they do this or do that...with a hefty price tag

After watching the video i concluded the fact that if it is true good to be true then pehaps it is so the only thing on that conclusion i lost was my constrained time from watching the video. Plus it seemed like a product he did a while ago, i cannot remember what was that called.But i do rememenber alot of people on ripoffreport complaining about the support or some faults.

anyway, if anyone knows how to unsubcribe from his emails after unsubcription tries 5 times please let me know,

andy



if your looking to learn, then learn for free, use ed dales 30 day challenge or the war room here, there is always someone in here whos willing to learn and saving you 500 dollars and 30 dollars a month,

Well spotted chayil, you're absolutely right - there is some kind of guarantee on the order form:



So what's the deal Keith? Is there a money back guarantee or not?

I think you'll find that Keith has had his just reward.

Pearson

UPDATE:

Okay I'm happy to report that everything has been sorted out with Keith and I've posted the outcome of my signup with the Automated Sales Formula. Firstly, it appears that sitting around waiting for access to the site was my fault... as my CC didn't process for the order.

Keith then personally emailed me to help with the situation, this made me feel a lot better. I've now got access to the site and product and am about to get started setting up the first campaign. I'll post back tonite with my feedback and then keep you updated on the results as they happen.

As for the comments about Keiths past and him getting banned. Well I don't know the full story there so I can't say anything, I don't think it's fair though to judge the guy on being banned.

Basically, I think that Keith sounds like the real deal. He has a system that has promised to show me a better way of video marketing and gaining traffic, so long as it does that then I'm a happy customer. I don't think it matters that what he's offering has been sold previously or that it's nothing new... I'm learning from it and it's helping my business.

So if anyone is thinking about signing up feel free to message me or just go speak to someone that actually deals with Keith directly. Rumours are a terrible thing so take them with a grain of salt

Thanks for everyone that contributed to this thread though

Ok guys I told everyone I would keep you posted. Well after being on the customer hub page and going through the material that you get with the automated sales formula I have to tell you I think the material you get with the automated sale formula in itself is well worth the $497 I paid and if you throw in the 15 sites you get I thinks its a steal. Ive purchased quite a few programs online over the last year and I think this is probably the best Ive gotten .

After e-mailing support I received pretty good response from them and Keith himself has also responded to me as well. I think Keith seems to be a very nice guy and I think he is the Real Deal.

Just one more thing whilst I am here - surely I can't be the only to notice Nicholas William's shameful attempts to promote the Automated Sales Formula on this thread?


MODERATOR COMMENT What he has done is OK within the present rules.

UPDATE:

I've gotten through 4 of the training videos for automated sales formula and there is some really good stuff in here! If yr into Frank Kern's style of mind control marketing, you'll love this course.

I've been compiling my own formula for making marketing videos for a few months now, and I haven't even come close to compiling the kind of psychological triggers that Keith has put into his training videos.

So as of day one, I'm loving this product! It's kinda late here so I wont get the remaining 9 videos done until tomorrow, then I'll get straight into production on the video

stay tuned

Hi warriors...

I'm kind of a new in this IM business and I'm stil learning but not take the
action yet. I'v decided to promote this program through a blog I'v started, automatedsalesformula.wordpress and I'm having problem finding the affiliate
link to put in it. Can U help?

Thanks, Liviu

I am still foggy on the continuity component of this offer. What do you get for $29/mo?

Wow! What a thread. I too have less than 12 months in the IM game and as a result get the usual stacks of "unbeliveable opportunity" emails in my inbox. some I open and some I don't. Like many of you I received thge promo email, watched the video and then baulked at the price so went here looking for other peoples ideas and thoughts. It seems to me that whatever Keith has done in the past whether or not it remains true of his current venture - Automated Sales Profits, that the damage has been done. The amount of negative press and also comments about the latest offer surely says enough to me and just about everybody else reading that this is NOT a good idea especially at the $500 price tag. It also seems to me that there are now so many of these automatic site makers being flogged now (especially Site Profit Blueprint as well as Automated Sales Profits) that I question the success rate, standards, value and offer that any of them provide.
As per just about everything in life, success takes hard work and I am sure that the simple 3 hour set up of a site producing software program and then just sit back and rake in the cash just sounds too bogus to me. Thanks Warrior Forum, my mind has been made up and I will certainly be keeping my $500!

I have received 3 emails on the same day since the launch for Automated Sales Formula.
Initially, I was turned off as the video is so long and I don't have the patience to watch the whole video. I bookmarked it and watch it during my free time as I don't want to spend too much time watching a sales video.

Indeed, there was a lot of Gurus out there are promoting Keith Wellman's Automated Sales Formula. The next day, I go to my bookmarks and fast forward the video to see that Keith was offering. In the beginning, I was curious to see Keith mentioned that there is nothing else to buy after purchasing his package. Next, he moves on to say that everything is automated <----- This word caught my eye.

And then, furthermore, he talks about providing 5 automated niche websites with the similar videos as this product launch All setup for you within 24 hours, that really hook me up. In the beginning, I thought to myself, I don't mind paying for the webhosting fee. Wow, imagine to have 5 fully automated Niche websites with the similar exact Video Squeeze pages to promote your affiliate Niche website.

The Only thing that I am very interested in was the automated traffic generation system he mentioned, something about the terrific twitter traffic automation system that all you need to do is to press the get traffic button and it will automatically drives traffic to your website.

I really do hope and believe that everything stated in the Video Squeeze page is true.

But as the matter of fact, it is not. Based on my past experience, the sales letter, the video squeeze page only states the half truth, not the whole truth about the system.

It can't be fully automated unless you outsource the whole system to a Employee to do it for you. But still, there is a catch here in the Video.

----> You have to buy it to know the whole truth.

Frankly, I really wanted to take out cash from my wallet to purchase Keith Package. But 2 hours ago, I decided to hold and wait for product reviews from customers and warriors who bought it and tested the whole system out.

But to my disappointed, out of 10 posts, there are only one or two results oriented positive posts here in this forum thread.

I will be following up on the post and will made up my mind once I can see real life testimonials from a real life newbie marketer.

Feel free to give your feedbacks as I wanna know what is the truth about the Automated Sales Formula System.

Thanks,
Winson

Thanks for everyone's reviews and opinions. I was on the fence about this product and decided to hold off. $500 +$30 per month is too steep for me right now. Im sure the bonuses are great but after watching the video a second time I caught something that made me change my mind.

Bonuses aside, your basically given some websites with video squeeze pages based on "diamond" affiliate products. The sites probably take you through a sales funnel with up sells, etc.

You get to collect the email addresses for follow up later. ( You can find many offers like this)

What made me change my mind is the fact that you still have to market the product and market to the people who's email addresses you collect. This is not full autopilot.

(did I miss something?)

The only thing that's seems to be autopilot is the sales funnel part, which does has it's value. It is a pain to set this stuff up, but when im told its autopilot, I expect - autopilot.

So needless to say, I changed my mind. Im not trying to bash anyone's product, if you have enough resources at your disposal than I could see making money at it, but you need to put in some work, just like any other product or IM effort, and for that I would rather just keep doing what im doing.


Sorry for the rant but that's my 2 cents worth.

Just chiming in with a little more follow up and another personal review after my other post.

I'm as real as a user of the Easy Sales Formula and in my previous post, I mentioned that I am fairly new to the process of selling having not be in sales before though I've made money as an affiliate marketer.

I noticed a trend in video marketing, there was Jordan Hall, Tellman Knudson and a few others who were using it in similar fashion, while I could sit back and watch the process, I wouldn't be able to reverse engineer or figure out the psychology behind the sales formula. To save time I bought the program. There will be many people who will try to analyze the video from a distance and please save yourself the trouble, you might not be able to come close to reverse engineering something like that.

Anyways, I was looking for a system that I could easily follow and improve on when it comes to selling online. I came to a conclusion that the core essence of making money anywhere, online or offline is that I needed to get person A to purchase product X and to do so, there had to be a system that does just that.

No matter what traffic tactic you use, if your sales process is flawed, it will not attract sales and sales is a lifeblood of any business and I'm sure by now at least in the internet marketing space, people know that Shawn Casey and Jim Fleck was talking about lead generation and how important it is for the lifeblood of their business. To them, they need leads to make money. It's as simple as that. They are experienced in business to know how to sell products and all they need is leads to continue selling. They have a system for selling.

I realized that for any product offer, affiliate offer, the offer is key to conversions on top of many other factors. My favorite among all of the Easy Sales Formula training,the "Bunker Buster" video training module just bombed for me and it's huge for my videos. It helped me close more sales than I have ever done before and the nice part to it is that the video was uploaded just once and the selling continued on even when I was asleep.

I've made many videos since and funnily though, two of my videos which had older dates on it, meaning the offer expired ..still made sales for me. I analyzed why and I realized that the offer was still powerful as structured in the "Bunker Buster" formula. I didn't take down the videos and continued testing. So sales after sales, month after month.. I wonder if I should have taken the video down.

I'm still amazed at the simplicity of the system.

Do you have a system for selling? I'm glad I do now. I have read books on selling but there isn't any training online that you can find that really walks you through the system of selling "online", try looking it up on YouTube, you will not come close to anything of the likes of the Easy Sales Formula.

I am a little off tangent here but there is something very important that I want to share... the missing piece is this, to make money it lies in the simplicity of getting people to buy your product or another person's product. Can you do it better than your competitors? Once again, do you have a sales process or system of closing sales that you can confidently use on a daily basis without fear and doubt?

I'll tell you this. Getting out of my comfort zone when it comes to selling online was very, very difficult. My comfort zone was simply about writing articles, using PPC, drive traffic to offers that converts, creating review sites, ah yes..it was comfortable..but did it make me more money? Absolutely not. For the time that I spent writing articles, spending money on Ads.. I could have made sales videos that converted much better.

Who pushed me out of my comfort zone? Gary Ambrose. His words are as direct as he is on the forum and in real life. I've met him six times in the past year and every time he said something, it rang like a church bell over and over again and there's no way you can't take action when he says something. Whenever I had the chance to even join a small mastermind with Gary and Keith, I would jump on it. To learn from their experience. As there was no way to get coaching from them, the only way was to go to their seminars and ask them questions. I think that has been the best decision I have ever made in 2009 and it was an income accelerator. From being broke to making at least four figures within a few months not having to break too much of a sweat online...I have a lot to thank them for. I am like everyone else, a regular person but I had a desire to search for answers and I knew I had to go beyond my comfort zone no matter how uncomfortable it was for me.

Everyone here who has commented has a certain fear lingering in them. That fear is the fear of failure or fear of making a bad buying decision. The fear of having a bad experience. All kinds of fears. We all don't want to be taken advantage of, we all have our own financial circumstances and goals in life that we want to achieve. We just want to have a better quality of life.

Fear sets many people back. The fear of creating a website. The fear of making that first dollar online. I was pretty anxious of making my first dollar online. I was afraid that I would fail. I was afraid of many things. But it only set me back from taking real action, action that would propel me forward on doing things that really mattered..designing the life that I want through the business that I own. Just imagine the day that you make that first sale. I knew when I made my first sale, it was an amazing feeling, a moment of truth. It was even better when I sold my very own product.

I remembered being in a room during the seminar in March of 2009 hosted by Gary and Keith. Guess who was in the room?

Names like Russell Brunson, Anik Singal, Jeff Dedrick, Liz Tomey, Eric Rockefeller, and many other big name marketers..

I was humbled to be able to listen to the golden nuggets that many of the internet marketers shared. After returning home, I took just one of the advice that I gathered and made my first test product. Not only I made a sale within 24 hours of my launch, the sale was made by an affiliate. Guess what I practiced? I chose to use one marketing method, leveraging affiliates and implemented it. To me, that was a breakthrough. A big one and it continued to grow and allowed me to reinvest in my education and it grew my confidence every day.

And who started it all? Gary and Keith. I'll be honest. If there is only one positive opinion that is coming from me..I'm glad that I took action and attended that seminar they hosted. I'm glad I launched a website that I would never have done if it was not for that seminar and meeting them. Would my life be different if they didn't host the seminar? It probably would. I would still have been stuck at my day job. I would still be figuring everything on my own and wasting more time.

So all in all, this still relates to the Easy Sales Formula, the Automated Sales Formula..the simple fact is this..you listen to yourself and make your own decisions and do your due diligence and realize that for every inaction, it will delay an action that could potentially lead to a breakthrough. I only write this with passion because I've been helped by the knowledge that Gary and Keith shared with many people, not just me.

I don't know how many more real stories should people read on this forum to believe and I wouldn't be spending time writing this if everything was B.S. but I know for sure that the system that I have learned works.

I believe that Nicholas will be on a great journey as he seems to be another action taker. I remember that freshness of taking action on the Easy Sales Formula that I bought..as I mentioned on the 30th of June 2009, it was then and there things changed, with new knowledge acquired and put to good use that made me money. Do you have a day of significant change that you can remember of? A day in this year of 2010 that you will want to remember forever? It's like the day I got baptized with sales knowledge! Just kidding!

I was just like Nicholas..by the way Nicholas, if you're reading this, I followed your blog. Keep it going and congratulations for taking action and I wish you the best of success for the year 2010 and for everyone who embarked on this journey... I'm excited for you.

Thank you all for reading. This is as genuine as I can be coming from personal experience. If it sounds a like hype to you..I think it just flowed out from my enthusiasm because it's real.

I do have to say thank you to everybody that posted a reply... with one request... instead of just telling us all how bad Keith is, can someone please recommend someone else or another course that will give you the results Keith talkes about in the video?

All of us new people would apreciate some positive input.

Thanks!

There have been a couple of fine posts in this thread stressing the benefits and quality of this product. Read Elisha's last post again. Very good.

You seem to misunderstand the purpose of this Reviews Forum. It's to provide intelligent reviews of a particular product. We do have some 'compare and contrast' threads where we compare various products but in general we stick to the one product by thread.

You're welcome to start your own 'compare and contrast' thread.

UPDATE:

Day 3 completed of Keiths Automated Sales formula.. it's now 2:30am and I'm hella tired but still really amped after a long day of learning and finally taking some action with the new product. We had a webinar just before lunchtime so Keith and his buddies could show us the ropes on how to use the members area and tools. The twitter syphon got me all excited so once the webinar was finished I got straight into setting up my first campaign.

I haven't actually done the video skinning part yet, I wanted to get the twitter traffic all sorted first so I could track the stats and conversions for a CPA campaign I launched. I got traffic within a few minutes, which is very sweet, but I'll let that run for 12 hours then report back with the results.

All in all, that's another exciting and educational day with the Automated Sales Formula. I am lovin it

Wow, Thanks for all the info. I had my credit card out but have put it away Now. I am a bit of a program Junkie but glad i found this post before spending money as it lloks like I have similar information in another program. Just joined the forum today looking forward to reading more

I dunno, it just seems to me that while selling via video works great; having a video that is mostly "look at my house, look at my life, look at my screen captured account pages," and then skimps on important details so people understand exactly what they are gettin and not getting-- not mentioning the continuity component at all, and giving a weak guarantee (isn't the conventional thinking that the longer the guarantee is, the less refunds you get?) is a recipe for a lot of unhappy customers. It's not like this is a $47 course. It seems I am not the only one who was left with a lot of questions unanswered after watching the video; and not the only one whose perception of what the deal is differs from the reality of it....

It seems that Keith method of video sales does work. I got another person promoting this and this person had just got into clickbank's top 100 affiliates using Keith's method. Wow i must say.

But again, marketers promoting products always have some +ve things to say. If only i have some spare cash to test this out, money that if lost in investment is fine. Sadly i dun have the money, so this product won't be a priority. I save the money for others.

Of course the one question no one has asked: Does anyone have a sample website to let us see this in action?

I'll be the first to admit that $30 each for a well done pre-designed site is a steal and well worth the cost. But for me to plunk down $500 I'd like to see one of the sites.

I've got to put in my 2 cents on this thread. I did purchase the product and unfortunately had to go to work doing remodeling work the next day to try to pay for it. The following day I did get most of the 15 sites set up (it took more than 3 hours when considering the autoresponders and everything else).

I initially started going through the training videos, but I thought it would be better to actually set up the video skinning sites that are going to make money vs. trying to learn the entire system first. After I got the capture pages set up with my aweber account, I decided to actually go through the initial sales letter from the PayDotCom affiliate product (in print) and the video sales message to get ideas on some marketing approaches to complement the twitter syphon method and SEO software that was included with the program. As Gary Ambrose mentioned earlier in the thread, a person definitely needs to market using several different methods to have any kind of sustainable profitability to a campaign.

I have to say that I was very disappointed in the video reviews of each of the affiliate products. I assumed that the PowerPoint presentation (or whatever form of video was going to be used) would be done professionally by either Keith himself or someone on his team that has a professional voice and can present the sales letter in a condensed, professional and persuasive manner. I don't know if all of the video reviews are the same as mine, but if they are, I really can't imagine getting any conversions with this system. It sounds like the guy doing the audio can barely read and that English is his second language. I can barely make it through each video without wanting to click off, yet this is something that is supposed to capture a prospect's attention and get them to buy?

I don't want to be too harsh as I do believe this is a great model for getting affiliate sales. I believe the training is great and if it is applied can make a great deal of money for the affiliate using this method. I will say that one of the main reasons I bought the product was to have 15 affiliate video sales sites up that are making money while I learned how to do this on my own using the training at a later date. I really don't believe that what I've seen would actually convert. I will include one of my video sales pages for this forum to review and let me know what you think of the professionalism. I have included my PayDotCom link, the capture page link, and the video sales page link so you can get a full grasp of one of the campaigns. I want to know the consensus view as to whether this would actually convert.

I've sent a support ticket into Automated Sales Formula with my concerns but have not heard anything back yet. Again, I would say that I'm concerned because I bought this product with the thought that I could have some sites set up and ready to make money. After reviewing the sales videos I don't know that I would actively promote it without at least re-recording the audio portion of the sales video. What does everyone think?

As far as money back guarantee goes, the order page says 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, 100% No Risk Guarantee! It doesn't list a 72 hour time limit. Keith does say immediately upon getting into the welcome video that if you are going to return the product, that he would like you to do it right then. He also mentions the chronic refunder that doesn't ever follow through on their purchases. I must admit that I've been in this camp before and I'm sure I've missed out on a lot of prosperity because of it. In this case however, I think if the purchaser is not satisfied with the product they have purchased and they were not given a preview of this product before purchasing, it is a different story all together.

I am looking forward to seeing the response from other marketers in this forum and also from Keith and his support team. I honestly want to make this work, but I also don't want to waste time on something that is destined to fail. What do you think?

Austin

I am new to IM and am looking for a way to get started. I thought Keith's program looked good for newbees but After looking at your video I agree that the audio is terrible.

Thx Goldmind - This product seems to be a rip-off. A lot of complaints from consumers. What I don't understand is how can well-known respected gurus like

1.XXXXXXXXX
2.XXXXXXXXX

promote and try to sell you this stuff If they must know this products reputation and so on. With the price tag? Shame on them!!

My post will probably be deleted !!

Thanks Austin for posting a link to one of the video sales pages. I see your concern in the quality of the video. The guy doing the audio made tons of "nervous" reading errors and I really think it should have been done again before sending it out as a finished product.

On the otherhand this example posted by Austiin shows us what the system is and I have to say I'm a little disappointed. I guess I was expecting something entirely different when the the term "video skinning" was used. I was expecting some more along the lines of this:
Cheat Your Way Thin - Eat What You Want and Still Lose Weight

I don't think I'll be buying the ASF product because its nothing more than just sales video websites that automatically redirect to the order pages of the reviewed product. And if the video quality is as the one Austin posted then the quality of the videos suffers as well.

Thanks again Austin.

Hey Guys,

I know the guy who did the voice work for the videos, and here's all I can say ... take it, again, with a grain of salt knowing that Keith and I are pretty good friends.

Based on ALL the testing that the "guru" group has done in terms of professional (like a slick sales guy), versus the more natural (like your average joe) doing the voice over, the natural approach has always outperformed the pro approach in terms of conversions.

While we'll never know the actual reason for this, my guess is that the slick sales guy/pro instantly gets people into that "I'm being sold" frame of mine ... whereas, the more natural approach seems like your normal guy just telling you about something he likes.

To Austin, in terms of asking if you "think" this will convert ... there's only one answer that matters, and that answer is ... TEST IT!

If it converts, it converts ... and if it doesn't, it doesn't.

That said, I know the guy who did the voice work, I know he sells pretty well (especially well considering the size of his list), and Keith chose him for a reason.

Also, to the best of my knowledge, Keith was the one who wrote all the scripts, following his "Easy Sales Formula" formula, and the same formula that got all you who bought the thing, to plunk down the dough ...

And, Keith isn't exactly the most polished speaker on the planet. He makes plenty of mistakes in the video, but there's a reason they weren't edited out ... (hint, hint)

Gary Ambrose

I actually thought that the example video salesletter that Austin gave was pretty good and would bet my bottom dollar that it would convert better than the original salesletter.

I think that some people miss the point of video salesletters and that is:

1. The potential customer invests his time in watching them and it is natural for the customer to want to leverage the investment already put in by purchasing the product

2. I am in no way slick or have a great voice but video salesletters have done wonders for my business and earnt me 100s of thousands of dollars. In two words, They Work!

In my mind, to pay $30 for each video salesletter is a complete joke. You may be skeptical, but once you have tried using video to sell product you will never go back - I promise ya. Whether you purchase Keith's product or not, spend a few hours and try and create a video salesletter. You will see just how much work you have to put in it. However, it will convert like gangbusters and hopefully will make changes to your business like it has to mine.

This thread reminds me a bit of the one about the recent 7 Figure Code promo and people complaining that they were going to receive the download version instead of the physical version. At the end of the day, for $30 (or thereabout) you were going to receive information that is potentially worth thousands if not hundreds of thousands to your business.

My point?

Where something has been done for you and the cost of acquisition in reasonably low compared to purchases that an offline business makes, think of the reason to buy it rather than the reasons not to buy it.

Keeping it real in an unreal world,

Ben Shaffer

Hi Gary,
I have watched the video that Austin posted in his posts. Here's my thoughts: This video is very well made and personalized. It's like listening to a friends explaining about the Article Underground System. Well, what I can say is that go get some traffic using Keith's traffic system and TEST IT OUT.

I am not a customer of Keith and neither am I the buyer of Automated Sales Formula. I am monitoring this thread carefully and after watching the video, I feel that it has all the elements of a NON-Hype, not pushy but Effective presell video and I firmly believe that this works and will get you sales.

I am now considering to get a copy of the Automated Sales Formula after watching this video. I will keep track of the results of members purchasing this system.


Winson

UPDATE: I've just completed day 4 of Keiths ASF program. I still haven't done any video skinning sorry, as I was dealing mostly with the twitter software. I think I spent half the day all up, with playing around and testing campaigns then managed to get 4 new profiles created. They're all generating traffic, we're talking in the hundreds not thousands but it's technically my first day of using the twitter software correctly. The trick from here is to stay committed to creating more profiles each day with multiple campaigns, at the end of the month I will have a pretty hefty amount of unique visitors.

I've written more details on my blog (link below to enicholas.com) so please stop by if you're interested in hearing about customer results on this product...

ps. no revenue has been created yet within the first 4 days, I am hoping to have the first bits trickle in next week and then compound from there.

pps. once again, I'm more than happy with the quality of the training and the tools that Keith is providing

Hi all,

I am perusing this thread for two days and I didn't hear anything except critics about the seller. I am new here and in IM and I think it's better somebody who purchase this product give us a honest review about the whole of the process.
Also I have a question. The English is not my first language I want to know is it a right stuff for somebody like me?

Thanks

Hi Imran,

There are several partial reviews in this thread - and I'm 100% convinced that they are 'honest'.

It's a brand new product, only out a few days, so nobody can say yet if it really 'works'.

As for being a non-native speaker of English, my guess is that you would be highly disadvantaged with this type of product. Could you really produce an error free video presentation? Most of my students couldn't. There are plenty of other ways of making money online.

Pearson

Nicholas,

Is the high praise you give these products (including Magic Bullet) somewhat influenced by the commissions you stand to make from them by driving traffic to your blog via the Warrior Forum?

Especially since you're providing "Bonuses"...

Just a thought.

Steve

Doesn't that make you wonder if "noob-tards" are the target of many, sure to falling victim to a few before the day is up? Nobody with 2 pages of complaints over at Scam alerts (or whatever it's called) would do what you're saying. Surely you jest.

MODERATOR removed references to two third parties who promoted this as affiliates.

Just one question? What stops anyone from shutting off that horrid Video and then go straight to Article Underground simply by typing those 2 words in the search box. That's exactly what people will do instead of watching that one until the end of it? The only way you will make any money with this is illegal and not recommended.

I subscribed to Keith's Automatic Sales Formula and found that its not what I need for now. Am I able to transfer the memebership or sell it off?
If anybody interested to buy a cut price, let me know

Yes, I was very impressed by the sales page, purchased the program, upgraded to the monthly member site, added the automated set-up feature, total investment = $497 one-time; $27 monthly hosting; $97 monthly member site.

The sales page indicated that total set time is 3 hours. There are videos that are supposed to guide one through the set-up. Unfortunately, in my case, I had to submit several support tickets, which each took at least four hours for a response.

I encountered too many issues that required submitting additional support tickets, since there is NO Phone support offered.

The end result, after several days trying to get through the initial set-up, I am still not fully set-up, AND the last support tickets I submitted have NOT given me resolution to the specific problems I've encountered!

Consequently, I have sent a certified letter by registered mail to Keith Wellman, to personally protest my situatiion. Since there is NO OTHER contact info given, and the support ticket option has failed, I am not a very happy camper. I will post results after Kieth hopefully replies.

My other half bought into the Automated Sales Formula 5 weeks ago, with the same experiences as Craig, MJThompson and many others. No access to the site for 3 days, after finally being able to get to the site and admin panel and spending a week on setting things up nothing seemed to work. Trouble tickets taking a long time to be answered, and when they were, it was clear that the support staff either did not read the tickets properly or they have no clue about the product. So much for 3 hours and away you go!!!!

Now, my partner is no internet specialist, so thinking that he must have done something wrong he asked me (webmaster and systems analyst) to have a look at it and try to make it work. Clearly, the original setup, the setup which was deemed to be worth thousands and sold for 'only' $500, was delinquent in every possible way. Links did not work, videos did not load, autoresponder setup failed, Oops galore....... How Wellman could have sold this with a clear conscience is beyond me. After many trouble tickets and well needed enhancements the site is now working after a fashion, even though some video pages still need to be replaced because one product has been taken off the market and another one has sold out (this was known more than three weeks ago, but still no replacements) whilst a third skips to an oops page if the viewer - after having suffered the long video for what seems like 15 minutes - does not click on the 'instant access' button quickly enough. By Jove, the process was excruciatingly painful.

The twitter syphon system, flag ship of the whole automation side of things, is now completely manual!!!!!!

The BONUS SEO system, proclaimed to be free (as it turns out only if you pay for expensive hosting) and as easy as 1, 2, 3, is the most cumbersome and complicated article spinning and submission system I have come across. Yes, you read that correctly, it is article spinning and submission software, which is as close as it comes to SEO. You'd be lucky to make it work and get some backlinks. This system does absolutely nothing to optimize your site, automated or indeed manual. Oh....and this really is the hammer: at the very beginning of the video made by the creator of the SEO System Software, he actually tells you not to attempt to use it until you have finished you site completely and know what you are doing!!!!!!!!

Customer service: slow, sloppy and incompetent.

Rating: nuls points, zero. And this is without taking Wellman's cavalier attitude towards his customers into account.

A class action sounds nice, but it is a long, drawn-out affair and needs a long list of people who can prove that they have been scammed. Is this system a scam? No, I don't think it is. It is a perfectly viable system if one is prepared to spend a lot of time on it and has a surplus of patience, goodwill and a willingness to suffer fools gladly. Sales pitch misleading? Yes, most definately. Is it worth to be drained of positivity and dreams for the sum of $500, and possibly some compensation if it comes to a class action at all?

Then again, I did not buy into it, just evaluated the system from a webmaster's point of view.

Wouldn't it be nice, though, for Wellman to personally write to all the buyers of this system, to apologize profusely and offer them all 6 months free hosting to compensate for the frustration, time lost and having taken them for a ride? Ah well, I haven't seen pigs fly either.

Does anyone use Google anymore? One quick search for the name "Keith Wellman" will bring up dozens of unhappy reports.
