Underachiever Secrets?

Can you tell me what it is about? Is it about setting up affiliate sites or setting up sites as product owner?

I'd love to take you up on this!

I hear numbers thrown around these forums so often that I by default doubt pretty much every offer, however at the same time I'm entirely willing to throw myself into any and every project that seems feasible, especially when mentoring of any kind from an authority is involved ^_^

Hope to hear from you soon, I sent you a PM earlier.

Great, looking forward to your review.

I have some downtime in the next two weeks and have not really bought any courses for close to a year so I thought I would try this out. Haven't had a chance to dig in yet, but let me say that I was turned off by the upsells immediately after the purchase - a 97 dollar membership site, a 1 dollar 3 day trial offer, and then a 297 dollar training offer.

These things always make it feel like the initial product is incomplete to me.

Such as? I'm really interested in something like this to help with my e-book.

All i know is that every time i clicked on the link in the email Russell sent me, it froze my computer and closed out all my browsers, and i am openning it up at work. Not good.

How can we buy the course through you?
One of the applications is supposed to create backlinks right or how the sites are going to get traffic?

Mike will make good on his word, we chatted for 20 minutes or so this afternoon. Cool dude and definetly helpful.

Sounds good, Russ's review has helped convince me to go ahead an grab this because I've purchased one of his products in the past and know he's the real deal-and out to help others.

So Mike if you shoot me a pm with the link I'll buy and may need some tips but overall I'm familiar with most tech stuff on how to set up.

@Mike can you please pm your skype contact

Well I went ahead and purchased last night and this product looks like it will be some help with getting organized with a simple system for putting up the information websites that I've always been interested in creating.

So far the software looks buggy and I haven't been able to get it to work at all -guess I will have to submit a ticket to the help desk. I can see the software being beneficial when it is working especially for the site building set up.

Anyone else had a problem with this software besides me?

I took Mike up on this offer and I'm glad I did!

The underachievers guide itself is amazing, but having Mike chat to me for a while about what I could do to get started as well as discussing the key points I personally needed to pay attention to in order to be successful with this was worth MUCH more than what I paid!

Thanks to Mike and Russell

If you check it out, you'll be given the opportunity to buy their "done for you" monthly membership, where they provide you with a new product each week. Thing is most of these are the same, if I may be so blunt, crappy resale products they released about 5-6 years ago, if not more, lol. I cracked open the research pdf for the niche product I downloaded, and it was referencing data from...cough cough...OVERTURE!!!! These products are quite lame, and are all over the web, including ebay, where you can pick them up for $0.25(plus shipping, of course). They are nowhere near the quality of the examples on the sales page.

I also liked how, in the discussion on how to get traffic to his flycatcher campaign, he shows a post he made in a niche forum in 2011, yet all the responses to his flycatcher/ask campaign are from....2005, lol. You know why 2005? Because in 2005, it was actually possible to promote such campaigns via Adwords. Not gonna happen these days. Google will slap those down faster than a red-headed stepchild. Now, don't misunderstand me. He's not saying to use Adwords to drive traffic to your flycatcher page now, he's just using results from when he DID use Adwords to make it look like he got those results from using his new method. That's a little dishonest to me.

Another observation. The sales letters he teaches you to make in the course look nothing like his own sales letters, nor like any of the examples on the sales page for this product. Doesn't make much sense.

Basically, this is a rehash of 6-7 year old product. If you know nothing about creating niche products, this might be of use to you, but $37 is a little high imho. Just don't expect to use Overture for your research though, lol. The "done for you' products, however, are junk. No way is it worth $97, or $47 a month, or whichever it is to get these products. They have been hacked up, used for plr content, blog content, etc, for several years now, and are all over the web. You'd be better off just picking up some resell rights products for $5.00 apiece somewhere.

I totally agree, you don't need the upsells, go ahead and pass on it. The main guide is more than enough to get ya going.

I'd like to know what you proof you are talking about?

Don't talk without proof. Russell is a real guy and always provide quality stuff.

I have some small sites just like he shows how to do as well that are making me anywhere from a very small $10 to $15 a day all the way up to $60 and $80 and trust me it is nice to see that money in my Paypal account when I check my email each day.

I get a TON of emails every day from all the gurus - John Chow, Mike Filsame, Glen Hopkins, Phil Henderson, Anik Singal, Lee McIntyre - the list could go on and on. 99.9% is crap that immediately gets dumped.

Russell's emails are ones I actually open and read - maybe I just like his positive, upbeat style, or the fact that I can tell the guy's solid, no baloney, all the way through. Many of his messages have contained real, valuable information...little tweaks that really made an instant difference in my traffic & conversions.

I feel the same way about Don Van Fossen & Jeremy Kelsall, and the great Daniel McGonagle...these are the guys that form my IM knowledge pool for true continued education.

But I looked through this, and I think most IMers will not make money from these little product inventions and accompanying websites. Hard-driving experienced traffic-getters might succeed, but don't be fooled by his "average Joe or Jane" testimonials, quickly turning a home invention idea into a $3,000/mo. ebook. The internet and the market have both changed so much since the mid-2000s, and sorry, most won't see much income from this, IMHO

Seth

Thanks for the honest feedback..blackh cat and tim nesbitt...I am going back through the 20 minute payday.

Since it's been a couple months since anyone has commented on this product, I'd thought I'd check in and see if anyone is having success with this system.

Thanks for any input!
