Jeff Johnson - Underground Training Labs

give it a bash and let us know how it goes, SImon, i hear good things about JJ and am not adverse to spending money on quality education.it seems to be a little cheaper that an MBA from Harvard!

You're welcome, I should add that the content, what there is , is solid, and although some is old, it's still current if you know what I mean, Jeff J is one of the few people out there who really does know his shit. If this was all available to read and get on with, I would whole heartedly recommend it, but I can't see me lasting long on this kind of information delivered on a life support basis, it's to painful.

I understand JJ is trying to protect his bottom line here by taking people past the refund period but for me if it's worth while I'll pay for it but this actually forces my hand with a refund, ie increases the refund rate because I'm unlikely to take the risk that it might be ok once I'm out of the refund period.

Hi

I'm not new to IM but had heard so much about JJ that decided to go for it when UTL went live recently, particularly as the promise of "free traffic" was on the menu.

I have to say that I'm less than impressed although I have picked up one or two useful information about which I knew nothing before but at $199/m, I think it's a tad pricey an exchange.

I had hoped to see the course through at least until module 2 or even 3 but Module 1 is already driving me crazy because the videos seem to me to be "patch and mix" from previous programs and there's a lot of repetition or overlap.

And even more frustrating is the fact that the videos do not load quickly and I've had to wait several hours to watch just 11 minutes of video.

Furthermore, the step-by-step approach I was expecting is not there, so far as I can see. JJ keeps referring to these as being "all there for you" but later one discovers that these are on DVDs that he's made available to his high ticket clients but without those instructional videos made available to his UTL members, also, where he "walks [clients] through the steps), I don't see how it would be any good to anyone who has no previous experience of putting a blog together and adding the widgets and plug-ins, never mind the more advanced stuff like RSS and data feeds.

I don't mind having useful tools mentioned (I can opt to purchase it or not) but his plugs for his products are overdone and as already mentioned, anyone could have 250 blogs put up in an heartbeat if they, too, had staff at their command.

What would be useful is to be shown HOW to do what he talks about but most of the time his videos are about his "philosophy" and not about the practicalities of getting the job done.

I'm going to wait a day or two to see if things improve - I have a few more videos to watch. If not, then I'm just not going to stick around because time's too valuable to waste waiting and when one pays as much as $199/m, I for one expect a much faster, slicker, content-rich and practical course than is on offer, at present, and one that I can follow at my own pace rather than being given a drip-feed which I find very painful.

I have no doubt JJ deserves the reputation he's built up (no doubt through his one-to-one and high-ticket coaching programs) but his more affordable UTL makes me think I could spend the same money more productively elsewhere - PPC advertising, perhaps?
