Commission Maniac

Same question here -
Anytime someone starts talking about ghosts and internet marketing - makes me a little nervous

- JT

Sounds just like all the other recent scam launches designed to appeal to those looking for easy, lazy, and greed in people and the newbies who are too trusting. When it sounds too good to be true, then it is too good to be true. Why would ANYONE dilute the effectiveness of their secret "code" by selling it to as many suckers as possible for a few bucks a pop? I think it is about time we, as a group, contact the FTC regarding these scam launches of late and put them out of business... and continue putting them out of business until they get the message.

Isn't it funny, one kind of lives in hope of finding that rare offer like this that is genuine and that it might just be the one where someone genuinely wants to give a break to those who are desperate to make a buck, let alone thousands.

I was almost tempted to buy it and see what it was like, then get an immediate refund if it was the usual rubbish and lies, but I'm starting to get more refunds than purchases that I hold onto through ClickBank and don't want to get blacklisted for too many refunds.

I no longer give a product the benefit of the doubt, if it purports to be something it isn't I just get a refund. Hopefully enough people will do this and things will change, but I'd guess there are so many newbies (I'm not much more than that!) that this kind of marketing will always work.

It would be interesting to hear back from anyone who has bought this, although the marketing techniques pretty much scream scam you can never be completely sure until you see the product ... would be nice to be surprised :-)

why 99% of new crap CB products have all "commission" in their names, and involve some guy insulting and screaming?

yet another hyped sales video my son came running in my room when he herd "STRIPPERS...PORN STARS..." blearing out of my pc speakers it was quite funny don't now what he thought i was up to lol , all the CB products are all being the same lately all crap its getting worse .

First... when you purchase the product you need to enter your name, email, and phone number (so you can expect "The Call"
Second... the upsells are annoying...
- there is one $147 upsell/$47 downsell to a protégé coaching
- one OTO to a software to automate the process
- one $49/month (donwsell to $4.95 month) to a Elite Club with website templates, ready made campaigns... and so on.
- one $77 upsell/$27 downsell to a CM Traffic Bullet Software.

In The core software the Commission Money Console there are a few "must watch" videos about how to: download the software, find a compatible zip program, unzip the software... (really newbie friendly... or stupid friendly)

There is a ton of videos about IM resources (some are really useful)

There are some pdf's that looks like there are extracted from Info Product Killer, but nothing about How to use the software, even though is pretty intuitive for an experience marketer, newbies will get lost... or perhaps I missed the "This is how to use the Commission Maniac Console" manual.

The software seems to be a wordpress installer with autoblog capabilities and autolinks and keyword research and... I didn't have much time today to give it a test drive and post a full review, but as soon as I can I'll do it.

There are some pdf's that looks like there are extracted from Info Product Killer, but nothing about How to use the software

Looks promising... yet I can't rush into conclusions to say if is good or crap.

The 'console' basically creates sites for you at the push of a button, adds content in the form of articles and videos (apparently creates unique articles, I will report back with the quality).

The site is already monetized you just need to add your affiliate ID's etc.

The software automatically creates backlinks for you - by creating forum profiles . .

It's late here in the UK, will try and have a play around tomorrow and report back!

JTR

p.s, get ready to watch, videos, loads of them!

I was looking for something to review and bought it despite the horrible video. The upsells really annoyed me but I paid for the console and the downsell for protege coaching. With VAT it cost around £72 altogether which I have no problem with if something is good.

You are told you are going to get 10 free money making websites but they are just those hosted affiliate sites from Home Website Center that are free for anybody but you can upgrade to the pro service and search engine submission etc.

I went through the welcome videos and they stopped after the one that shows you how to use the console to set up a website. There was I wanting to try it out and I didn't have any more instructions, so my earlier annoyance at the upsells caught up with me and I asked for refunds.

Whoops, afterwards I took another look around the site and found some more training videos. Lots of them giving some good basic advice for newbies, but I can't find the logical one to follow on from the one showing how the console uploads a website.

Taking a good look at it I don't see anything special, it looks like an auto blogging system where you spin the content and I don't want or need either. There is a get backlinks button but I can't find an explanation as to where from. I suspect profile links but I'd rather not.

Maybe I should have waited and tried it out more before claiming a refund, which is unusual for me. But I didn't see anything different and to be honest I was half expecting another upsell to jump out at me while I was on the site.

Not for me but the training videos and PDFs might be worth the cost for newbies.

yeah I couldnt even finish the video... who actually makes any decent money off auto sites... I mean really?

Frankly, this just has to stop, I am sooo tired of watching these offers, they don't truly offer anything over and above, you get your hopes up, and then you buy it, work on it for days or many, many hours at least, just to find out, that ok - it kind of works but had you put all that time into doing what you are supposed to be doing(and you know what I mean) you'd be way ahead. Anyone, with a proven system that brings in cash without hardly any work, will not share it with us, unless its all used up, or close to being hammered down by Google or something. Besides, any such system is risky, and I guess if you are willing to throw all your good work down the drain, then be my guest, but I would not touch stuff like this with a ten foot pole.

Sigh Not another one.

Easy money? not possible - you might want to try a Lottery?

"Golden Goose For Sale" - yeah, right.

If such "Magic Code" did exist, do you honestly think anyone would sell it?

"I just want to help you" - pffff.

Too many words - I did not have the sound on - too many spelling mistakes
and errors of grammar.

A decent product does not need hype.

"Empty vessels make most noise."

If it's not offered here in this Forum, be mighty suspicious.
Stronger than that! don't bother.

Immediate up-selling always rings alarm bells.

Young kids with Lamborghinis? Hmm, what Insurance Company?

One would wonder why he is charging for it since it was obviously given to him as a gift from the 3 kids. Also I think if they gave him the gift they could afford to hire someone to break his legs for sharing it.

The guy sounds like a drunken idiot who tried to sell a piece of dirty paper he found in a trashcan to anyone passing by.

BTW, I like the "Strippers ... Pornstars ..." part. Nice opening ;-)

Don't you love these type of Sales Pages that insult your intelligence.

Please come up with a better story line. Really unbelievable this time...

Hi Guys,

Ok, I bought it. Can't really comment on it's merit, because the videos won't play past one minute for me lol.

I can't find any resemblance to:

"Just (can't remember the first bit), insert a tiny piece of code, get your affiliate link and start the console"

But I'll give the benefit of the doubt seeing I couldn't watch the videos. All I do know is that one of the later videos starts by saying something like "Now, let's get our content"

I really think these kind of sales letters appeal to those who suffer from "Aliceitis". You may not have heard of it before, but it's a disease I have given a name to (I certainly didn't invent it lol), and coined from a line that's used by Alice in Wonderland that simply says:

"curiouser and curiouser"

Must admit, my finger was hovering over the refund button even before I got to the member's area. It's kinda got something to do with checking your address line while you're going through the process, and it reads "domainname.com/oto-4.html".

Anywayz, I'm off to get a refund.

Someone before mentioned about being worried about being blacklisted as a refunder? Do you not think this is more of a reflection on the crap we're being presented with, rather than any fault of ours?

IMHO, with what is being dished up lately, I think there's a pretty darn good case to argue.... don't you?

For what it's worth, I've been on the internet hamster wheel for around 4 years. I buy these products to review and, if they're good, I'll keep 'em (my ethics won't let me do otherwise). I've found myself refunding more in the last 6 months than I have in the last 4 years.

I really would've liked the chance to review this product properly - but if I can't get the "must watch" videos to work, it's no cigar. Suppose I could persevere, but they've caught me on one of my "can't be bothered" days..... my family call me the Queen of Little Patience lol....

has anybody out there ran this software, to see if it worked. It just seems like there is nothing good out there. I have not read one good review about any product hear. I am trying to find something to buy to start making money. but for the last three months there has been nothing. but nobody really says what happened when they tried the product, most have not even tried.

I don't understand why marketers need to resort to lying in their sales message. Three "ghost" kids with Lamborghinis who give their proprietary software to him and now he decides to sell it, sounds like a lawsuit lol

Basically if I had a do it all software (and maybe I do, or maybe I don't) there's no way I'd give it away to anyone, if it worked as good as these "marketers" claim, why sell it for $50? I tell you what, if you want a copy of my software that makes me $30-50k a month without doing a lot, you can have a copy of it for $250k ... deal?

Amazing how in these recent CB product videos, they never tell you who they are, or at least anything that can come back to someone who can be verified. He talks about "ghosts" and that's all these shams have been - ghosts. Fake people. Why on earth would anyone buy anything from people like that?

Terrible, terrible software... And part of a growing trend with some of these hucksters - they find some guy who has a product, they use their "name" as the front man for the product so that all of their huckster friends will "reciprocate" for them (ie. spam us) and then when you get inside the product you're dealing with someone else entirely.

Craig Kaye is walking a fine line on this one because in his Super Duper Elite upsell group he clearly says you'll be dealing with him personally and get his personal email address, etc... Then once you buy, they pull the bait and switch and you get "access" to the other guy behind the product who we've never heard of. That's deceptive advertising from where I stand.

The thing that I didn't understand is that you get into the base product, there's like five or six videos telling you how to unzip the product and silly stuff like that, but I couldn't find the video telling you how to work the console. And the videos kept saying, "Oh don't worry about those fields" or "That error page is normal, you should be seeing that."

What a load of rubbish - HANDLE YOUR ERRORS! If the screen is meant to sit there and say "site not found" spend the fifteen minutes it would take to throw up a CUSTOM PAGE for your newbie customers.

What's making me sick about all of these "software" products that these muppets are releasing is that they have absolutely no background in software so some of the very simple first principles of delivering something workable to the end user never happens.

I refunded the lot - it worked out as very EXPENSIVE. You could have been up for $300 or so in once offs and then another $100/mth in recurring billings.

I am desperately searching for something to promote that I can feel GOOD about and that matches the needs of my list (newbies, make money online)

Spent all day looking at sales videos, I have yet to take action to promote!

Any ideas? (sorry if this is a hijack, disregard)

It has gotten ridiculous with all these clickbank launches. The relationship among these gurus has really gotten incestuous. "You promote my garbage, and I'll promote your garbage. Fortunately, it appears Clickbank has started cleaning up the garbage as 2 major recent launches "Viral Profit Code" and "Easy Click Commissions" have moved to the Plimus platform.

You may not believe me.....I just finished pasting my affiliate link into a doc. to save of BRING THE FRESH before seeing this update to the thread!

Thanks so much for confirming my choice.....much appreciate your input!

so there are...

Commission Hijack
Commission Maniac
Commission Takers
Commission Overload
Commission Crusher

Are there more?

from all of these, personally I consider that just Commission Crusher was worth attention

The next batch is going to be Ultra Commission ______ (fill in the blank)

or Xtreme Commission _________

Isnt that the way it usually goes>?
