it's all a matter of getting in on other websites offering to send you the people that check those extra check boxes like "recieve info from our partners" etc. There is more to it of course, and it helps to know where to look, but the info on co-registration IS NOT, imo, worth anywhere near $2k.
1ShoppingCart sent a response to the Pipeline Profit's claims of their heavy sales crashing 1SCs system twice. This was obviously a dishonest claim from the promoters and I was surprised at just how frank 1SC was with their response. You can read the resonse here: http://www.marketeerreview.com/viewtopic.php?p=11#11
LOL ... I sent a copy of 1ShoppingCarts response to every marketer that send me an email promoting the product. Even went through my junked emails.
Heh.. nice comeback from 1SC. Just goes to show that even the big guns are prone to exaggeration from time to time.
exaggeration or flat out lying - remeber on top of the 1sc issue there is the issue of the high PR on their screen shots of there personal stats page (indicating possible mocked up screen shot of sales figures), the major change in the guarantee mid way through the launch with no announcement to those who already signed up - the questionable "someone was stalking us and found our home number via whois and called and demanded to take their money before it went on sale..." and the brokers that dont want too much business so orders are limited and the bounced return check and on and on and on...
Wow, I think I'm going to whip up some kind of program, toss my ethics out the window, and hype the hell out of it with whatever questionable tactics I like... Hopefully I can sell "500" copies of it at $2000 and maybe "crash" 1shopping cart a few times during the process. Yeah, that's it... it's all coming together now I have yet to experiment with co-reg, but have been hearing about it for a while (before Brick and Block). I don't mind paying for good, practical, useful information if it saves me from having to waste time digging around researching on my own and trial and error. If I run the numbers, I usually end up "paying" more in research (via lost time value / revenue) than it costs to tap into someone else's wisdom and experience. --Within reason, of course. Anyone know of any good, practical sources of information about co-registration? I'd like to dig into it further and do some testing...
Like you said, with enough digging and research you can pull together enough info - the trial and error, IMO, can only either be performed for a price & time, or bought. Take a look around.
I tried applying their email marketing style to my list and I got my first angry "take me off this list!" reply. lol
"Anyone know of any good, practical sources of information about co-registration?" yes, but I won't recommend it in public, because most people will ruin their business before they do it the careful and recommended way. I've looked at the pros and cons now in detail. Most people actually loose a lot of money with co-reg, several webhosts and their internet connections also. The small percentage that don't, assumingly get rich with it. If you can walk on the edge of a high rise building without falling down, I suppose you are mentally prepared to do co-reg with success. The general problem doing research: I met a lot of people that lost money, but the ones that make money with it either don't talk, or they don't exist. I suppose they are in the minority, and they really don't talk much. Dave
Well it appears as if Brick & Block are starting up their campaign for a possible phase two of the pipeline co-reg program - they've started by offering a 'free' video that teached you how to use basic email filtering and managemnt tools in Gmail, then they say if you use this valuable information you save an opportunity cost of hours per day x days per week blah blah blah. They dont bother mentioning how many hours saved by working more efficiently actully convert to hours where you start to actully earn your "hourly rate".
I think I'm a little slow. Still trying to figure all this out. All I know is that I got about 30 emails this weekend from different people pushing this product. So a list got sold somewhere with my email address on it. Not happy.
I agree, meegwel! Co-reg is really no different than emailing to targeted prospects, so all the same rules apply. The only difference is that emailing is fast becoming an expensive proposition and somewhat of an art. No longer can one buy an autoresponder, upload it and send. There's authentication, white listing and a host of issues to deal with before sending the first email, thus the expense of obtaining one that does that for you-ergo; higher cost. And let's not forget copy writing... if one cannot write good (by good I mean call to action/selling copy) one must outsource that-another expense-see where I'm going with this? I suppose it's a good thing as this may deter the "shake the back yard money tree" folks from inflicting further damage on an otherwise professional industry. Personally I focus on the process. By that I mean if everything is done to perfection, from ad to sale point you will acheive your sales goal and the $'s will naturally flow. Unfortunately some attack this from the back end and expect the process to work no matter what-guess what? They will surely lose. I can imagine the greedy, angry 9 to 5er who bought into this thinking it was a heaven sent and losing his shirt. It's no ones fault but his own. Some call it doing due diligence. As for the "B" twins-right or wrong, honest or dishonest - they have provided us with an excellent updated co-reg format which, when done properly, will work well. The big difference here is that small marketers are forced to play on the same court with the "big boys," and this separates the men from the boys, and therein lies the real issue of success or failure To your continued success!
