Adam Gingsberg Review

Again, an update into the Adam Ginsberg class.

On the 5th of June, 2009, I recieved numerous automated emails from sales/support department.

After dredging through 10 different emails I determined the following information:

• welcome to the program, you will recieve more emails with login details to software and partnered websites within "Within 72 hours of receipt of this email"

The websites/software in question are all involved within the $4000 package, and are as follows:

• Template Optimizer Deluxe
• Auction Optimizer
• "Warehousing Technology Partner" - Doba.com
• AdamGinsberg.com main website

The automated emails must have been quite old, as there was a lot of contradicting and conflicting information within them, a few examples:

• "The software bonuses, hours of audio training and downloadable PDF documents are provided as direct downloads online in the members area. " The recent move/creation of a website (as far as I can gather) means that on the new login site (AdamGinsberg.com) that there is no download links at all under the members area. This may be updated, but still...
• The affiliate program with Template Optimizer. "you can receive $6/month for each person that uses Template Optimizer" vs. another email which states "you can receive $10/month for each person that uses Template Optimizer". There is a very big difference between $6 and $10, I will point that out. So which one is it?
• "If you have not created your username and password yet, you can always visit TemplateOptimizer.com to retrieve this information." Please note that I went to that website, inserted my email address and went "forgot your password" link... But alas, no email has been recieved! This step was repeated a significant number of times over a period of 3 days - thus it cannot be typing fault but website fault.

At least I recieved the login details to AdamGinsberg.com.

Adam Gingsberg Review

So I have recently signed up to a $4000 class with Adam Ginsberg, the "ebay millionare".

You must be thinking, are you mad??? Well the answer is; quite possibly. Yet I have nothing to loose (other than a hell of a lot of money) and everything to gain.

The course I am doing, ebay selling, does have a money back guaratee that if you don't make back $4000 dollars over the course of the year. However they have many small catches that will basically make any seller void of the money back guarantee (eg. you must sell this number of successful sales, do it this way, etc).

The point of the following entries are not as a mere blog, but as a business like review of the company Adam Ginsberg owns/runs.

I'll point out that I signed up for the course on the 1st of June 2009.

On that day they mentioned in the terms and conditions that it may take up to 3 or 4 days for the payment to be processed. It also mentioned that any free trials or software that I get a right to will also start upon the same day that I SIGNED UP. Frankly, I don't think thats appropriate considering I haven't yet been processed for payment - I am essentially paying for stuff that I don't have... (Isn't that illegal???)

Anways check back for more results.

Test Product: Lunarpages.com

Here is what I wrote regarding lunarpages.com. I put it upon a forum website that I have used as a member for a while, and essentially the website is based for finding good deals.

I found this alright deal for web hosting through an affiliate… 
I thought it was a pretty good deal - its a lot better than I pay, and they advertise a good service:

• unlimited storage
• unlimited bandwidth
• email accounts
• databases
• apparently decent support
• servers use latest technology and scripting/programming languages
• free domain name
• host as many websites as you want
• $700 in software and hosting received in all hosting plans

All of this from only $4.95 per month…

Either go directly to lunarpages.com, or if you feel like helping out a mate follow my affiliate link: http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-3473337-10446209. 
If you do know of a better deal, and not a common freebie, please do tell cause I may end up moving my own website :P One for all and all for one approach.

I decided for the direct and honest approach when it comes to affiliates. The website automatically creates website links, so you can't add html. Thus many users would notice the affiliate linkage in the url. I thought if I made it out as a good deal, and offered the users the choice of the real website link or an affiliate, you might get some kind people. We shall see.

Test Product 2: Lunarpages.com

Here is the second test product for our research: lunarpages.com. 

They essentially advertised themselves: "With a minimum $95 commission payout (plus incentives), a lengthy referral period, one of the highest EPC and the lowest charge-back in the network". 

The company itself sounds rather decent, particularly with the services they offer:

Our primary focus is supporting our customers' needs (my kind of company): each plan provides 24-hour award-winning customer support, membership to our web forums, and tools to simplify website ownership.

Lunarpages solutions are at the forefront of industry standards, and are powered by Dell PowerEdge servers, the most innovative and secure servers in the industry. Our most popular Basic Web Hosting package is an incredible value at only $4.95/mo, and includes:

• UNLIMITED GB Storage Space!
• UNLIMITED Bandwidth
• FREE website templates
• Free Domain Name
• $700 Free Website Software and Services
• Special Offer on Webhosting Transfers
• Hosting for UNLIMITED Websites on 1 Massive Plan
• Frontpage extensions
• MySQL, PHP, PERL, ASP, Python, JSP, and Ruby on Rails
  

So what sort of links do they provide?

Here is the square button link, which again is very well designed in my opinion;

Finally, there is the banner width button which attracted my eye:

Test Product 1: Skype

So I signed up for a Skype affiliate program though CJ.com... 

The affiliate earning rate is pretty decent: 25% of commission upon most sales and purchases.   

This is an example of one of their straight text links. Skype – cheap international calls Here is an example of a flash link: 

And finally, my favourite: a simple, and honest picture. 

What do you think guys and girls? 

Is it possible to work online?

So I have tried to see if I can make money online. Does it really work?

 

Doing so, I will publish my results so that everyone can see if it does actually work. This isn't going to be one of those blogs where they all say "it works, just pay 50 bucks to get in on the secret". This is going to be a ligit study - and perhaps the chance to earn a little bit on the side too. If it does work, I highly encourage you to do it yourself.  

I am realistic, I don't expect to hit in with high amounts of cash. We'll aim for for $5 in the first month. If that pulls off, we will re-assess.

So who are we testing? (Or at least who I plan to fully test)...

Ask.com

Commission Junction

Google

Yahoo

Skype

and more...

I'll be posting all my blogs here, so you can see what I am posting... But I am also going to be posting else where on the net, so if you see my pages - please click!

Ask.com - option of direct deposit and check. Uses Commission Junction. 

Note: there is a minimum montly payment of $50. So basically if you don't earn $50, you don't get paid.
