looking for opinions on Dream Lifestyle System

This sort of thing is not something you will find a lot
of Warriors using - it's more of a bizop sort of program
and you should look on MLM and HYIP boards to find
enthusiasts for such things.

I've been-there/done-that with bizop stuff like this -
it's often mostly smoke and mirrors, charging inflated
fees for little value aside from the license to sell it to
others. This is not a bad thing, just the way these
things are. For many people these sorts of things
are exactly what they like to buy and promote.

I still do bizop stuff, but my approach is not the
opportunist approach you will mostly see with these
online "income opportunity" things. A couple of
years ago they were selling vast packages of ebooks
for $1000 - now it's ad-packs. In any case, the cost
to the program developer to deliver the product is
very low - the value is fabricated and enforced, usually,
with hyperbole and images of easy wealth and a carefree
lifestyle.

thanks loren with such a good reply

that's a good review! have you joined yet?

Here is my experience with Nick Bramble's Dream Lifestyle System (DLS).

I am usually a very cautious swedish woman, soon 60yrs, but a complete newbie in this industry and in dire need of money. I got an email about the DLS-site, and after reading all "free info", I thought, this is for me. You pay a one time fee and get a business up and going. Splendid chance to get some extra money. And in the meantime, learn HOW and WHAT to do, just following the tutorial-program inside. So...I took my very last money and gave it a GO!

I joined DLS on May 19th and paid $200 to the affiliate - email and $47 to Bramble, got access to the backoffice. First thing here - customize the site to work properly in the auto system...it is a great help with the videos, to get the steps right, on to Aweber and autopilot. And it is VERY EASY to follow, even for a newbie like me.

Next I was eager to learn, what Nick Bramble's Success Blueprint was all about, only to find that there was NO LINKS to the videos and a message saying they where re-doing them, due to some technical problem....They all work now, after weeks of waiting.
So, with no videolinks, I figured, best to take advantage of Bramble's offer "Private Coaching Group for a Lifetime", which cost another $247 (a one time fee). Only 150 people allowed and it has been 31 spots left from start, also after I signed up. Not updated at all. The coaching consists of weekly videos that so far, seem to be a mix of Bramble's own recent lessons and some older ones, by him and other authors. I had to wait for them as well to come in my email.

This weeks 5 videos (of 16) about Aweber and a program called Track That AD, by another author/speaker. "Track that ad" was from 2004 and last updated April 10th 2007. Free to use, but with an old graphic layout. Now, that seems a bit outdated to me. Please remember, I am a newbie and maybe this is a good upgraded and valid program in other places on internet.

Having no knowledge of how to drive traffic to my very first site, I realized I have to pay another $197 (1 "share" = 1month targeted ads) for that famous easy "Push Button Marketing" = Ad-Coop. If you don't have your own resources and knowhow, you are really sucked in here). My Ad-Coop started the 21 -22 of May. Today is 20th June.

Last, but not the least, and this is really bad! It is not until you have paid the fee, you realize that there are no customer guaranties, except on the page where you purchase the Ad Coop-shares, which says it is non refundable, that being money already spent on advertising. This is bad business ethics. "100% guaranty, tested to work for you" is not the same as a Refund Policy.

Summary: I do NOT recommend Dream Lifestyle System. Please... save your money!

I'm sick and tired of all the hyped up ads and videos, promoting DLS on Google and elsewhere. All have the same text-layout-formula, more or less. I have deleted the few ads I had in a couple of traffic exchanges. This is not a descent or honest business and to lure others into it is not my way.

At this very moment, 20th June, the Ad Coop has resulted in 13 subscribers, NO SALES, I repeat NO SALES. I find this equation very strange and not worth the money ($197). Where is that promised, guarantied cashflow? Additional costs for other traffic exchange services, both paid traffic and my own surfing, valued in time and clicks with NO SALES. Total loss $780. I've been had ...

Is this a pyramid scam? I say YES! The swedish law say YES! Have I been naive? Oh Yes! This offer is cleverly disguised and gives the impression that you buy your own business and everything is done for you, as long as you pay for the tools offered at the backoffice When signing up for one of these offers just to check it out, a squeeze page with a MLM offer from the owners appears on several of the tools. You feel trapped in this tight inner circle that makes all the money, on gullible, poor people like me. I have sent this letter (slightly edited) today and filed a ticket for a refund. I will update my progress here.

Again thanks for good advice.

I will continue to update my progress in the other thread on the same topic.

See you there.
