Hi, friends

To those of you who have learned and implemented Anik Singal's IncomeKickStart system, please give your impression/review here.

I watched his introduction video and it seemed very convincing, however, I need to know how others like it.

Thanks very much in advance, guys!

I finally watched it, too. It appears he's helping you jump start an email marketing system. Though I'm intrigued by having access to a network of email marketers, the system seems a bit pricey for something I'm doing already. I'd be careful about giving up control of your campaigns as well. I always like to make sure if I'm using a system, any system, that I can leave it at any time with my email list and all the other "fruits of my labor." Not sure if this is the case. I agree with you, would like to hear from someone who has actually used his system.

The idea of collecting emails and selling it is a bit of a Spamy to me!

 

[artistdaddy]

Check also this thread from WarioForum.. it seems it's getting some very negative reviews.

Sorry, here's the thread:

Received an email from Mark about checking out Anik Singal's Income kickstart offer. Having watched it and checked out this link I think I will give it a miss.

Quite frankly it seems like an awful product.

I've read through the warrior forum posts and from what I can see only 1 is from someone who has actually bought the product and he didn't like the way the training was filmed and how it is delivered (he didn't content on what was actually taught). He is entitled to a refund of course.

Most of the other people posting were slaying and badmouthing the product without having seen it at all (this does happen regularly on the warrior forum for some reason).

I personally was promoting the video itself more so than the product (there was a lot of free advice in the video), although the product looks really good to me too.

The video was good because it explained very clearly how to make money from affiliate programs and clearly explained just how important it is to build a list and a relationship with that list.

Some of the warrior forum people called this spamming. It is not spamming when people legitimately choose to opt in to your list and can opt out at any time. It is called following up with people with relevant content ie relationship building.

The product being sold gives the person 10 niches, plus a years worth of emails per niche, plus training, plus recommended affiliate programs to join. I thought that was a wonderful idea for a product.

To me there are no instant magic bullet systems to making money online. But this is one that certainly makes things a lot easier because you are getting a lot of the hard work (ie your newsletter followup series) done for you. Looking at the product I think it is really good, however I'm not a fan of how he recorded his training videos (I would have given them all at once, whereas he gives you more every few days). The other thing I'm not so warm about is his choice of affiliate products to promote in each niche, however you can keep the newsletters the same and just look through clickbank etc and promote other offers instead of the ones that Anik recommended (if you wished). I also think that the $1 per name per month for 12 months estimation as a little high, I would go for $2 per month for the first month, then $1.50 for the 2nd month, then $1 for the next 3 months, then $0.50c approx for the rest of the 12 months (as you get unsubscribes throughout and lower open rates etc). I hope that made sense. In essense, if he had said 60c per email per month it would have been more accurate in my opinion based on my experience (except in certain niches where it is higher).

Although in saying that, I felt that by watching the video, you could certainly go away and apply the advice without even buying the product, the advice was very sound in of itself. You could get your own unique articles written for you from elance.com or other places and do it yourself of course, especially if you watched my email marketing blueprint video (which is inside the premium members only area).

OK- here I am. A real live person who BOUGHT the product. So far I'm into week 2. Here's my thoughts:

1. Expensive. Kind of. Like my dad always says, "$500 is only a lot of money if you only have $499". Only you know if you have the money to spare. I've washed about $4000 down the PPC drain in the last few months, so I was willing to try something new. Other programs cost a lot more. I like the one time fee, not a membership.

2. Convenient. Yes. 52 weeks of auto responders for 15 niches. I've never bought PLR or paid an e-lancer. But the pre-packaged niches are what I was interested in. I'm starting with the acne niche. I haven't read the other auto responders, but I WAS impressed with the acne ones. Very content rich. NOT SPAMMY. Would have taken me weeks to come up with. Maybe I could have bought them cheaper somewhere else but I don't have much experience with that.

3. As "easy" as Anik says? I don't know about 3 hours to get up and running. I recreated his template on Word Press pretty quickly. I've never used aWeber before so there's a learning curve there. I'm thinking that it'll go a lot quicker/easier next time. It includes a software to automatically insert your affil. links in the auto responders but it seems you would do a much better job to read each one (duh!) and customize which product, so that takes a little time. But again, I could never have researched and written 52 messages (X 15 remember, 14 more niches to go if you want pre-packaged)

4. Some of the stuff he promotes is a bit basic if you have any experience at all. He really starts from what is to affiliate marketing etc. I was NOT impressed with the "affiliate product recommendations". Boiled down to a couple of Clickbank products. In the long run, it may be better because not all of his students will be promoting the same products. He does show you how to go find others.

5. Here's the reality. You buy off people you like and trust. I like his style, I trust his content. The course gives a check list to try and keep things simple. Yes, you have a 10 day guarantee. But the content is dispersed over 4 weeks, so it's not like you see all that you're getting before you can get a refund. I will say that week 1's content was WAY more robust than week 2. We'll see how it goes moving forward.

I will say the program gave me the confidence to get off my butt and finally start e-mail marketing. I plan to go back and add auto responders to my 3 other sites/niches. So you can't really put a price on that, can you?

So overall, I would say it's not something to spend your grocery money on. Probably you could get most of this stuff cheaper if you have lots of time on your hands. If you value $500 less than weeks of you life, buy it. Then stick with it. Hopping around from program to program will kill you, I think. It's certainly hasn't helped me. I invested in PPC. Turns out I didn't like being a slave to stats and micro managing hundreds of words..building sites, writing content and article writing is much more interesting to me. But it all takes time to see results. My hope is that Income Quick Start is just that. Not my ultimate business model, but some money in the door to invest in building authority sites the way I want moving forward.

Hope the feedback helps. No, I didn't go read the negative stuff before I bought. I know Lurn is legit. Have a lot of experience with them. Negative people and reviews are a time and energy drain for me. But, as a consumer, my feedback is unbiased I think. Good luck, whatever you decide!

Thanks for the Honest D.L.
basically what I figured not a scam and worth $497
But most likely a little over "hyped"

[dune2012]

I bought the course, didn't like it, in fact hated it. MOstly consisting of power point slides.
How to advertise using articles and review sites. It's way over hyped, and then he sends
you other invitations to get more expensive stuff, I mean in the 10000 dollars.

I don't give a *** what people say, all of this info you can get it for free or a fraction of the prize.
KEEP YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. 500 dollars is nothing to fool around with in this times.

 

[Ryzon]

I for one am also not impressed with his course.

It is WAY overhyped.....

You can get the same information for FREE...... I mean it!!!

Just hang around in larger internet marketing forums and you will get access to better and practical info...

Just my 2 cents, DONT BUY IT.....

 

[frankvue]

I have to chime in on this one too. I bought it before I found affilorama. It is horrible.

All it is about is article marketing and how to get traffic with JUST article marketing. The only place that will give you decent traffic is ezinearticles. That means you're going to build your list super slow! On top of that, the newsletter series is horrible. I had people unsubscribing left and right. I can't imagine how anyone can make the amount of money he is talking about by just trying to get traffic with article marketing alone.

Last year in October 2010, I signed up for a trial membership of one of Anik Singals Products: Affsphere Class. Not impressive at all, and only problems. So I decided to cancel within the trial period, which they confirmed.
Unfortunately, i had given them my credit card details, because I had to pay 1 USD upfront!
Eight months after, now nearly two months ago, I found out that they every month draw money from my account.
The only reason I found out was, when I got a new Master Card, and they contacted me for asking if I wanted to join them again!.
The pay-outs were made to a company owned by Anik Singal called LURN,INC BILLØLURN.COM, Gaithersburg
i have by now sent them 7-8 e-mails, and tried to contact them by phone. There is never anyone answering, and they certainly don't reply any e-mails.
I don't know what to do, and how to get my money back.
If anyone in here can help me, maybe they have had the same experience with Anik singal, and his companies (I doubt that this is the first time they do things like this), I would be most gratefull.
This is also a warning to pay with credit card, unless you know the company well.
Did you know that you cannot stop a payment with your bank? Only way is to get a new card!
It is much safer to use PayPal.

Yes I have the same. I was very impressed about the program and it would be very easy. I didn't had that much money but for only 47 dollar, yeah I would give it a try. Then as everybody know the next thing come, for only 97 dollar and then the next thing come, only an other 197 dollar. I invested this money with the idea to see if it would work for me. And what can happen when you have 60 days garanty back?

EVERYTHING, you don't get your money back, well at least I sent them appr 10 or more mails. There is NO SUPPORT!!

Don't buy this 60 days garanty of lies!!

Maybe if you are good, you can make money with it. I think Anik can sell that and make that reality, but he lies about the 60 DAYS GARANTY and the SUPPORT!! I have till the 4th of october and then my garanty is finished

I sent him emails to make clear that I will put a little movie on the YouTube just to let people know. I am not against but I like to tell the truth about the 60 days garanty system. He even wrote it in his terms and conditions, so he should know better...

Jo

That is what I think about ANIK.

 

[easyrider]

I have bought things online before and had this kind of thing happen - they don't respond to your messages to cancel a continuity program. Well, I got my bank onto the case and they sorted it out for me. The same happened to a friend and his bank was able to get his money back too.

As a result, I will very, very rarely sign up to any continuity program, even if somone is offering a free trial.
