Empower Network Version 2 (ENv2) Blog Beast Review

Now that Empower Network’s Blog Beast launch has finally happened the internet is being flooded with all the fake reviews from members who are doing nothing more than deceptively promoting the program in order to try getting you to join under them. This tends to happen every time something big launches in the internet marketing world where people are able to make money promoting it.

Spoiler alert! See our review of 123profit for the best way to earn money online right now.

So, I figured it was time for me to give you my real review of the new Empower Network blogging system (also known as ENv2, Blogging Beast, BlogBeast Redemption, and several other things) so you can get totally unbiased information and make a truly informed decision on whether it’s for you or not. You won’t find any affiliate links, hype, false deception, or anything else shady in this review. It is simply my opinions of the program based on personal experience, history, what I have heard from people I trust, and what I have seen thus far.

There are people who swear it’s an all out scam, there are people who are livid at the way they launched blog beast, there are people who couldn’t care less either way, there are people who say this is the best way to start an online home business since the internet was invented… and everything in-between. Love it or hate it, one thing is for sure, ENv2 is causing quite a stir in the make money online world.

There are huge name internet marketers on the inside and plenty of them who are very outspoken against it, which is understandable considering the intro BlogBeast video for ENv2 starts out by bashing some of the biggest names of the internet marketing industry. Anyway, that’s beside the point, I’m not here to give a lesson in how you should or shouldn’t create a launch video. I’m just here to give you my honest review of the Empower Network ENv2 Blog Beast Viral Blogging System.

Personally, I have opinions on both ends of the spectrum. Some things I really like about Empower Network Version 2 (ENv2) and some things I think are not good at all. I will warn you ahead of time that I have cancelled my membership. Maybe that tips you off to how my review will turn out and ruins it for you, or maybe it makes you curious to read on? Hmmm…

* Why should you listen to me?

You might be thinking to yourself, “Who is this guy and why should I even listen to him?”

Well, I’ve been a full time internet marketer and blogger since way back in 2003 so I have more than a decade of experience in this industry. In that time, I have been a part of more than my fair share of network marketing programs, home business opportunities, and every other type of money making system.

I’m also a moderator of several work at home, online business, and entrepreneur related forums where I’ve had the duty of reviewing hundreds of different programs in order to help the members with their questions. Plus, I own or manage well over 100 websites and blogs in all sorts of different niches.

I guess you could say that I have basically seen it all and done it all when it comes to the world of making money online. I can pretty much see all the angles and look past all the hype of this industry in order to truly see whether something is legit or not. I know how to make money with various programs and whether they are worth the investment, or not.

* What is ENv2 Blogging Beast?

Well, if you are completely new to everything to do with the original Empower Network and the new ENv2 “Blog Beast” Viral Blogging System, then here’s a quick rundown of the features:

* Simple Audio and Video Blogging
* Maintain Multiple Blogs at Once
* Easy Mobile Blogging
* Re-Blogging
* Social Sharing
* Content Locking
* Full Training
* Business Opportunity
* Lots of Kool-Aid to Drink (Ok, I may have added that one myself)

If you dig deep enough, you will find that ENv2 is a blogging system crossed with an affiliate program combined with a network marketing company married to a MLM commission structure. Yeah, that pretty much covers it all when it comes to internet home business opportunities and make money online programs. However, this really is a hybrid that pretty much takes them all into account and tries to include the best parts from each one.

There’s no denying that Empower Network offers one of the biggest blogging communities and best publishing platforms on the internet. They also give very good leadership training products and services to internet marketers and small business owners. It was originally created to help struggling internet marketers and home based business owners build and grow a successful online business. Their flagship product is a viral blogging system that boasts more 70,000 users and growing all over the world.

Their new version 2, called Blog Beast, will cost you $25 per month at the lowest level, which is the same price as the original EPN system. It gets progressively more expensive depending on what you want to buy and whether you want to go “all in” or not. Honestly, I think it’s insanely expensive if you do go all in and buy every level.

If you were already a member of Empower Network then you will be automatically switched over to the new system, and the first thing you will notice is that ENv2 Blog Beast features a bunch of new features that were not in the first generation of the EN system. It is undoubtedly faster and easier to use than it was before. Also, members can now run multiple blogs from one account.

Another new and prominent feature of version 2 is the mobile app. This allows you to sync your blog(s) from your smartphone, tablet, or other mobile device. With the blog beast mobile app, you can easily record and upload videos on the go. It also makes it a lot easier to post and share all types of content without needing any technical skills. Therefore, you can really work from home with your blog, or from just about anywhere.

That all sounds great on the surface, and to many people it might be more than worth the cost of the ENV2 blog beast system. However, to me it sounds like a bunch of stuff that you can do on your own using existing platforms and plugins without needing to rely on empower network or pay for it.

Simply put, it is a fairly easy to use publishing platform and business system designed to give you a relatively simple way to make money blogging. Hence, the “viral blogging system” they are always ranting and raving about. There is also an affiliate program you can join to promote empower network itself in order to earn residual income from people who join under you. Not bad, but really nothing special.

* What are the Blog Beast 17 Blogging Blunders I keep hearing about and are they good information?

Officially, it’s actually called, “The 17 Super Dumbass Blogging Blunders” but that’s beside the point. I’m not going to say a whole lot about them simply because I am not here to give away their information, and you can get the ebook and video for free anyway if you just go opt-in to their sales funnel. Then, you can just turn right around and opt-out so you don’t have to keep getting their emails if you have decided that the empower network version 2.0 isn’t for you.

I will say that the information in the free 17 blogging blunders ebook is solid and legit. I’ve been a blogger for many years and can attest to the fact that most of the advice they give is true and useful. The worst part about it, in my opinion, is that they constantly plug their blog beast platform throughout the ebook. But that can be expected and if you can ignore it, then it’s pretty good. Plus, it’s free, so there’s no reason not to at least give it a quick read to see if you can pick up some tips to help you build a more successful blog, and therefore and more profitable online business.

* Is Empower Network Version 2.0 a scam or is it a legitimate way to start an online business?

There are a lot of people asking if empower network is a scam. No, it isn’t a scam. Some people like to be quite loose with the “scam” word and throw that label on everything. But I’ve seen a lot of real scams and this is not one of them.

Honestly, it is a legit way to start a blog which can be turned into a real internet business and be a great way to make money online. However, I do think it is overpriced and not actually needed anyway. Plus, their upsells are ridiculously expensive and certainly not nearly as vital to success as they try to make them out to be. But a scam it is not.

* Really though, can I make money online with the “Blog Beast” viral blogging system?

Yeah, of course you can, anyone with a blog can! But that doesn’t necessarily mean that you are going to, or that you have any sort of advantage by taking this route. To be honest, most people with blogs never make a cent and many of them spend a lot of time and effort trying. For every person making a living from a blog there are 10,000 more that aren’t earning anything, or if they are lucky they are maybe scraping in enough to pay a bill or two.

That’s not intended to discourage you. I truly think starting your own business website/blog is an excellent idea! Everyone should do it, and I mean that with all my heart and soul. Honestly, I do! However, the fact is that most people who do will never make any money from it.

I’m just being real here. The ENV2 blog beast cheerleaders want you to believe that you will just join up, do a bit of writing, share some content, and then retire on a tropical beach somewhere. But that’s not going to happen! I can promise you that right now.

Yes, if you are willing to learn how to choose a profitable niche, do keyword research, write compelling content, blog consistently, implement on-page search engine optimization (SEO), learn and keep up to date with off-site SEO, master social media marketing, become a video marketer, and a whole bunch of other things just like any other internet marketing specialist or professional blogger has to, then yes you can certainly build a successful online business blog in order to make money on the internet. It sure as heck won’t be easy and it definitely won’t happen quickly, but you can do it if you are truly dedicated to putting in a LOT of time, effort, money, sleepless nights, arguments with your spouse, loss of friends, and no more television, or wasting time on anything unimportant!

* Should I join Empower Network?

In my opinion, you would be far better off starting your own blog with your own domain on your own hosting. There are a ton of advantages in the long run to doing it that way and very few disadvantages. Once you get past all the crazy hype, all you are really getting with Empower Network is an expensive blog with a network marketing program to promote on it, and a little bit of training. That’s nothing special by any means.

I will say that using the ENv2 blogging system may give you a slight headstart as far as search engine rankings are concerned simply because they have build up a lot of authority already, and your blog gets some benefit from that juice. But that’s the biggest benefit I see to using it, and it’s not nearly as enough of a positive for me to recommend the program.

You could even start a completely free blog on something like blogger.com and essentially do the exact same thing without spending a dime, and basically have the same benefits and risks.

* Final thoughts

The part that I dislike the most about the entire system, and the major reason why I cancelled my account before spending too much of my time or money with them, is because THE BLOG IS NOT YOURS! Let me repeat that… The blog is NOT yours!

That means if you ever stop paying, or if Empower Network ever gets shut down, or they ever re-structure to change the entire program, or anything else happens — You will lose all that time and hard work you have put in, and all the income you have coming in from it. You can literally lose your entire online business overnight at no fault of your own. It’s completely out of your control.

Trust me, this happens a lot more often than you might think with programs like this. I’ve been around the internet marketing industry long enough to have seen it happen many times, even with the most highly touted and seemingly rock solid programs. You never know what’s going on behind the scenes even if everything looks great on the surface.

This is the main reason why I do not recommend becoming a user of ENv2 Blog Beast.

Do you honestly believe they will be around forever? I don’t! And when they go down, your blog goes down with them along with all your time, hard work, content, and income! So, stay away folks.

If you need something you can basically just plug into almost immediately without needing to learn much of anything in order to get started, and you don’t mind paying the inflated costs for that luxury or care about the fact that you are at their mercy and could lose it all in an instant, then I say go for it. For some people that is okay but I don’t think it’s worth it, so I am not recommending it.

I’ll admit, it sounds awesome and very hard to resist, but that’s exactly what they want so you will join! They are great marketers – there’s no denying that.

Quick summary:
– Do I recommend joining? No, I don’t, but honestly it could be a lot worse. I’m close to the borderline on this one, so I wouldn’t completely blame you if you did.
– Is it a scam? Nope, I do admit that it is a legitimate online business blogging system, but still I am saying you can do better.
– Can you make money with ENv2 blog beast? Yes, it’s possible.
– Will you make money with it? That depends, but probably not.

And that, my new friend, is my honest review of empower network version 2… ENv2… blog beast… aka several other names. Hell, I don’t even know what it’s called. ;)

A FREE Instant Backlink Builder – SocialMonkee Review

Since you are reading this right now, I am going to assume that you are researching SocialMonkee, and I’m sure you already know that building backlinks (inbound links) to your web pages is an essential part of search engine optimization (SEO) and internet marketing. If you didn’t know that, you do now! There are several reasons for this but two of them stand out above all…

1) Backlinks get your pages indexed. That’s important because if they aren’t indexed then nobody will find them through search. You want the search engines, such as Google, to find them as soon as possible and crawl them regularly.

2) Probably the most well-known, and certainly one of the most important reasons for getting backlinks, is that they help your web pages get higher search engine rankings for the keywords you are targeting. The whole point of SEO is to get high rankings and backlinks are a vital ingredient for doing that.

One of the biggest problems with building backlinks is that it can be a very time consuming and tedious process if you do it yourself. And if you outsource it to an SEO company, it will cost you a lot of money. So, a great option is to find as many solutions as possible that are free (or very cheap) and don’t take very much time. One such service is called SocialMonkee.

So, what is “Social Monkee” exactly? It is an instant backlink builder that allows you to get 25 unique backlinks every day for free. That comes out to a total of 175 backlinks every week or around 750 every month without paying a cent.

They do have an option to upgrade, which will allow you to build 100 backlinks up to 3 times a day! But that is completely optional. You can even get an upgraded “premium” account for free. All you have to do is refer 12 members (free or paid) to SocialMonkee and your account will automatically be upgraded. It’s a win/win situation no matter how you look at it.

Submitting a page to SocialMonkee from the member’s area is super easy and only takes a couple minutes. And there’s an even faster and easier way if you use Firefox as your browser. They created a free FF plugin that allows you to submit your page with just a few clicks of your mouse. In addition to that, if you have a premium account you will get access to link reports and RSS feeds, which are great for keeping track of your backlinks and getting them indexed faster.

You certainly aren’t going to get top rankings for competitive keywords by just using Social Monkee alone, but it is a nice addition for your SEO arsenal. Every little bit helps. When you consider the fact that it’s free and very easy to use, you really can’t go wrong. I recommend taking advantage of the SocialMonkee service right now!

Chronic Commissions Review

As I am writing this post a product called “Chronic Commissions” is the #1 most popular product in the e-business & e-marketing (online business and internet marketing) section of Clickbank, which also happens to be one of the most popular affiliate marketplaces on the internet, if you didn’t already know that. I noticed it the other day when I was checking my CB sales stats but I didn’t really look into it until I saw a post on the most popular internet marketing forum in the world. I recognized one of the people posting positive reviews in the thread as a very well-known and respected IM expert. Obviously they are doing something right so I decided it was probably time for me to check out Chronic Commissions for myself.

After going through it I decided to write a review for my blog readers (such as you) to read. So here is my review of Chronic Commissions…

To start I must say the sales letter is full of hype. It’s seriously overboard in that category. I’m not a fan of hypey products in general so that definitely gives this a negative point in my book, even though it is expected on most internet marketing products. However, on the other hand, their video is actually quite entertaining. It kept my attention well enough to watch the whole thing and that is very rare for me. So I will give them a small bonus on that aspect of the sales letter.

Now. let’s get a little more into what the Chronic Commissions product really consists of…

Basically it’s a very cool web based software that automatically builds your email list for you and promotes various products to your list so you can make money from them. I’m sure you’ve heard the popular saying, “the money is in the list” and it’s very true. Chronic Commissions can help with that.

Pretty much all you have to do is to put in your autoresponder and clickbank account information. Then, a few more quick things and you’re done. The system also has pre-loaded email swipes that can be used to send to your subscribers to make it even more effortless for you.

The setup is quite user friendly even for a complete beginner. And there’s a video for each section that is very easy to understand.

It really doesn’t even require you to have your own domain or hosting because the software is web based. All you do is enter in a few pieces of information:

* Clickbank ID – For your affiliate links
* Paypal ID (optional) – In case you want to get paid per lead
* Autoresponder Code – To build your list

After you finish that simple step, you’re ready to set up your campaigns. That part is also pretty self explanatory.

They have several high converting offers displayed for you. All you have to do is simply type in your tracking ID and decide if you want it go to the squeeze page or salesletter. Once you do that it takes you through a few more easy steps of picking and choosing what you want, and showing you what it will look like.

They also give you a great list of solo ads providers. Each of them shows you their testing results, the list size, costs per click, and so on. These people and companies will send emails to their lists for you at a great price. I loved this part because it is information that can be used for my internet marketing in many ways.

Once your list starts building, Chronic Commissions will send out emails to your subscribers about the various products in a way that is proven to generate sales.

That’s pretty much it. There’s a little more to it here and there, but that’s the main part of it and really all you need to know.

Also, there are some really great bonuses, but I won’t get into those since they aren’t the main part of what you are actually paying for.

So, the big question is…

Does the product deliver as promised or is it just one big pile of crap?

Well, the answer is actually somewhere in between if you ask me. It’s not quite as easy as they try to make it out to be and I highly doubt you are ever going to earn the kind of money they are claiming from it. But, it’s not worthless either. You really can make money using the system and it’s not overly difficult by any means. In my opinion, it’s definitely worth giving it a shot.

So, do I recommend Chronic Commissions? Overall the answer is yes, I do. Just don’t expect to get rich in the next month with a few clicks of your mouse as the sales copy would have you believe. But it does have great potential for building a great list and making money, so it’s certainly worth the cost.

That’s all I really have to say about it. So, I guess that concludes my chronic commissions review.

Review of Digital Marketer by Ryan Deiss

Digital marketer reviews will soon be popping up all over the place (it has already begun) so I figured I might as well jump on the bandwagon and write one of my own. Let me start by saying, I think the word “guru” is thrown around FAR too often when it comes to internet marketers, and I often cringe when I hear certain people being referred to as one. Most aren’t even close to being deserving of that title.

However, with that being said, I don’t think too many people would disagree with me in saying that Ryan Deiss truly is an internet marketing guru that has earned the title many times over. He has released several highly popular internet marketing products, courses, reports, and blueprints about a wide rage of online business topics over the years. But this isn’t a Ryan Deiss review so let’s move on. His newest creation is called Digital Marketer and it will certainly be all the rage very soon.

If this is the first digital marketer review you have read that’s great. If not, well, here’s another one for ya…

Start by watching the Digital Marketer Video and we’ll continue with the review of it soon:

Who is DigitalMarketer?

Or maybe you are completely new to this space altogether and are wondering what is digital marketing? Well, here’s another post to help you out with a basic overview of digital marketing to get you acclimated.

Review of Niche Reaper

Updated in 2019 for the newest 3.0 version of Niche Reaper, this post was first written as a review of the original niche reaper software (everything you see under the divider line and image was the original post).

There have been more versions released over the years so the product has changed/updated since my original review. Recently, Niche Reaper 3.0 was released, which is why I have added this short update to the post.

To be honest, my Niche Reaper 3 review isn’t much different than my first review of the original version — other than the obvious fact that it is new and improved.

It’s still an excellent tool for internet marketers, affiliate niche site builders, SEO specialists, or anyone else into making money online. In fact, it is much better now, and it was great then. So I definitely recommend it!

Niche Reaper

This is an honest Niche Reaper review without all the hype, lies and other crap. You can take it or leave it. There are no bonuses or a bunch of other marketing strategies to try and convince you to purchase it through my affiliate link. Yes, there are affiliate links on this page, so if you buy it I will make money, but I’m not going to sugar coat it just to earn a few extra bucks. Fair enough? I think so!

There’s no doubt that you will be hearing a LOT about niche reaper in the next few days and coming weeks. I’m sure you have probably already been bombarded with emails, blog posts, forum threads, social media updates, and everything else possible about Niche Reaper. If you haven’t yet then you will soon. Trust me. This is a huge internet marketing launch so it’s going to be impossible to avoid it. I know for a fact that a bunch of the biggest internet marketing gurus are already on board. Everyone and their dog will be promoting this. You just gotta deal with it for a while whether you purchase it or not.

Anyway, let’s start by going straight to the million dollar question…

Is niche reaper a scam or ripoff, or is it legit? Of course you want to know the answer to that question. So, here it is…

It truly is 100% legit and could really be very useful for most internet marketers or anyone else trying to make money online. Yes, I know, that doesn’t really tell you much other than what I think about it. So I suppose I will go a little more in-depth for you with my review of niche reaper…

What is it?

In a nutshell it is a keyword research software program built for finding money making niches, and was created by Matt Garrett and Gary Prendergast. It will save you hours upon hours of time when researching profitable niches along with helping you to earn a lot more money from them.

You still have to put in work! Using the Niche Reaper software doesn’t mean money is going to come flying out of your computer screen at you. Too many lazy ass people think that’s how internet marketing works, but if it were that easy everyone would be doing it. This is just a tool to help you make money online, it won’t magically make you rich. Much like a hammer is a tool that will help you build a house, but it doesn’t build it for you.

A quick overview of what it does is give you the following information on niches you can use for online money making:

* Best keywords to target
* How much competition there is
* Average authority of the top competing sites
* Keywords related to the topic
* What people are searching all the time
* How competitive the niche really is
* What related domains are available
* If the Facebook fan page is available

…And soooooo much more!

So far it’s looking very powerful and highly recommended. If you are on the fence about getting it then I think it’s safe to say you can go for it. But this unbiased review will be completely finished after I have a chance to fully dig in and get a grasp on the niche reaper keyword research tool — so stand by.

Update: Alright, my final thoughts on niche reaper are that it rocks! Don’t fear the reaper… Get it, learn it, use it, love it! Most importantly, Stack the cash! That’s all I have to say about that.

What Is Bring The Fresh?

As an aspiring internet marketing business owner, SEO specialist, affiliate marketer, or someone just looking for ways to make money online, I am sure you have heard of “Bring the Fresh” and you might be wondering what it is? In a nutshell bring the fresh (BTF) is a membership site that is fully loaded with useful information and resources that actually teach you how to make money online.

They teach an incredible system for building profitable websites, getting them ranked highly in Google and other search engines with SEO, and having them generate free passive income for you. Basically it’s a step-by-step blueprint for building a successful online business without needing a lot of money to do so.

UPDATE: Bring The Fresh is SOLD OUT for the time being and has therefore been taken off the market.

I’ve written my full Bring the Fresh Review below. So, if you want, you can skip all this intro stuff and scroll down to read my review of bring the fresh. If you want to know some of thoughts about it beforehand, I will give you a little more detail about what the BTF membership actually includes and teaches.

There’s no doubt that Bring the Fresh has caused a lot of buzz in the internet marketing world and has been recommended and promoted by many of the top marketers in this industry. The owner (Kelly Felix) has created an awesome series of videos that teach market research, product creation, copywriting, SEO, affiliate marketing, PPC, video marketing, and TONS more. He really thought of everything and included it all.

Here’s a quick rundown of just some of the stuff you will find inside BTF…

* You are shown exactly how to quickly create a website in a competitive market that the search engines will love. Yes, it is simple, and it really does work, even if you have no idea how to build a website.

* How to get numerous high authority websites to link to you. No spam or crappy links. We are talking about real authority links in a natural way.

* How to find profitable keywords fast. You will learn exactly how to go after “buying” keywords where the people searching will be ready to spend money now.

* A behind the scenes look at incredibly successful websites and online businesses. You get to watch as they are created from start to finish, and how they are made profitable, time and time again. There is nothing left out, including a sneak peek inside campaigns that brought in millions of dollars in profits. Also, an up close look at some of the biggest product launches in the history of internet marketing!

* Access to a private members only forum. They even personally answer questions there all the time, as do numerous successful members. The information in the forum alone is more than worth the cost of bringthefresh.

* Excellent support. You will never have any trouble getting a hold of them.

* …And MUCH more!

Here are the things that are NOT inside BTF…

* A useless get rich quick scheme. While it is true that some of their members have earned small fortunes in a short amount of time, and many earn hundreds of dollars per day from the information taught in BTF, most people are happy with an extra $100 a day or so; on autopilot. That’s a much more realistic goal and something that can easily be done by virtually anyone from the teachings in Bring the Fresh. Although you can make a LOT more. They don’t give you false hyped up promises of becoming a millionaire overnight.

* How to build fake blogs or other crap like that. You’ve seen the blogs that look like online newspapers or news websites. You know the ones that sell worthless products and continue to bill the customer over and over without their consent. They don’t recommend misleading people and they don’t do it themselves.

* How to trick search engines into liking your site or giving you undeserved high rankings. Tricks and schemes might work for a little while but they don’t last. If you are trying to make a quick buck through spamming or other black hat stuff, this is not the product for you.

* A customer service team located in a third world country that doesn’t even understand your questions or problems. They have excellent customer service that goes above and beyond.

* Tons of upsells. They don’t make you buy a bunch of expensive stuff in order to make their system work.

* …Or any other crap you might be expecting from an internet marketing product. This is the real deal. Honest, straightforward, and realistic.

Everyone from newbie’s to full out gurus can benefit from the information and resources that Bring the Fresh has to offer!

Obviously this isn’t some miracle product that will have you making money overnight without doing any work. There’s NO such thing! However, if you are willing to follow their advice and put in the necessary work to build a real online business, then “Bring the Fresh” truly is the system you have always dreamed of finding.

Again, I encourage you to continue reading below to find my full and very real review of bring the fresh. It will help give you some more information about what I actually found inside.

Okay let’s get to the real meat of my review…

If you regularly read this blog or any of my others, or subscribe to my newsletters, then you will know that I don’t do a lot of reviews. Yes, I’ve obviously done a few here and there, but they are certainly not a big part of my blogging efforts. Out of hundreds upon hundreds of posts across multiple sites – only a very small percentage of them are reviews. However, something called “Bring the Fresh” was recently recommended to me by a close friend of mine who also happens to be a high level internet marketer. He’s one of the few people I truly trust online and when he speaks, I listen.

Plus, I recognized the name of the owner, Kelly Felix (of “The Rich Jerk” fame) who is very well known in the internet marketing world and puts out excellent information. I’ve been following him for a long time and have a lot of respect for him. I’ve also purchased some of his other products and they have always been top-notch! So I decided I should probably at least give BringTheFresh a look and see what it’s all about.

I told Kelly Felix that I would write a review of bring the fresh if he wanted to set me up with an account. I made it very clear to him that I would give my honest opinion of it and tell the truth about what I thought – even if I thought it sucked! I do not write positive reviews just because I was given a free copy of something or because the owner is a well known internet marketer, or someone I know, or for any other reason – unless they truly deserve it. If it’s bad then I am going to call it out. Plain and simple. He still set me up with a full membership after hearing that so he must have been confident in his work. I’ll give him a plus for that right away.

Of course, I still didn’t have high expectations being the skeptic that I am. And having been an internet marketer for many years seeing all the new crap coming out all the time has made me even more cautious and pessimistic. But I tried to go in with as much of an open mind as I could.

The first thing I noticed is that their sales page isn’t full of hype and outrageous promises like you see far too often on most of the “how to make money online” types of products. It basically just gives you a rundown of who they are and what they do, an overview of what is inside and what’s not inside along with some videos, testimonials, and a bit of other information. They get another plus right off the bat for that.

But the sales page isn’t really what matters; it’s just a small part of the equation. It’s what’s inside that you pay for and ultimately the only thing that counts. So I dug in expecting to get through it all in an hour or two and be done. Ha! The joke was on me. This thing is loaded.

BTF isn’t some short ebook or report like you see so often with products in the make money online niche. Instead, this is a full blown membership site complete with videos, guides, interviews, recommended products, forums, bonuses, and so much more. I didn’t count up every minute but my rough estimate is that there has to be somewhere around 40 hours of video plus a ton of other stuff.

What is Bring the Fresh?

Some of the lessons taught and resources include; market selection, product creation, website success, link building and SEO for high rankings, marketing, conversions, templates, etc… It is absolutely packed with information! And it’s not just a bunch of fluff and filler content either. No, this is real advice that you can actually use to make money, a lot of it!

I’ve been an internet marketing business owner making a great living from my online business since 2003, so I have a ton of experience. Even still BTF taught me several things I didn’t know, gave me a few more twists on some things I did know, and refreshed me on some things I had forgotten about. I definitely didn’t think it would have much of anything new that I didn’t already know, but I was wrong. It truly is real and useful information for making money online.

Here’s a quick list of my positives about it:

It works – I know that the stuff they are teaching actually does work. That’s really all that matters and the #1 reason why I recommend it.
Several hours of video – Everything is shown to you so it is much easier to understand and implement.
Solid advice and training – Not a bunch of fluff and filler. It’s packed full of truly useful stuff.
Easy to follow – You aren’t left more confused than when you started as tends to happen with other internet marketing products.
Great value at a low price – They massively over-deliver.
Up to date – They continually update as needed.
Active forum – Lots of discussion going on in there about all sorts of different internet marketing and money making topics.
Amazing support – Questions are always answered.

And a couple very minor negative things I found:

Design – I know this doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things but it’s not a pretty site or back end by any means. I think it certainly could have been designed much better. That doesn’t take away any of the excellent content but it does make the membership seem less professional.
It could use more ebooks to follow – The videos are great and you can watch them over and over again as needed, but sometimes I like to have text to read and reference if needed. That would have been the icing on the cake. There is a very handy “guide to everything” that does pretty much sum it all up in an easy to read and follow fashion, but I still would have liked more of the sections broken down into ebooks.

One thing I want to make very clear about Bring the Fresh is that it is not a scam, or rip-off, or fraud in any sense of those words! It’s also not one of those stupid “get rich quick” schemes. I’ve seen a few bring the fresh scam reviews and I have no idea how or why they would say that because it definitely isn’t. I have many years of internet marketing experience so I have seen a lot of scams, ripoffs, schemes, misleading information, and everything else under the sun. In my opinion, this is one site that certainly doesn’t deserve the negative reviews. It is the real deal.

Once again, Bring the Fresh is NOT a scam! It is 100% legit. I give it my highest recommendation! Even after several years since I first got my membership, it is still a high quality product with very useful and usable information. They keep it up-to-date and make sure the information is always relevant. I’ve been an internet marketing specialist doing SEO and making money online since all the way back in 2003, so I have tons of experience, and I still use BTF as a guide to help me with new tips even to this day.

It’s rare for me to fully recommend a product but in this case I do. I see no reason why BTF should be avoided in any way. There are few products I’ve ever seen that I can confidently say that about. It is legitimate and if you follow the things they teach and take action on them, you will make money online. There’s not much else to say so that is the end of my honest bring the fresh review.

Hopefully this has helped you make an informed decision about BTF.

FusionCash Review – Can You Earn Free Money?

FusionCash is a really popular “Get Paid To” (GPT) site that claims to pay you to take surveys, enter contests, request free samples, and more. Their biggest selling point is that you can earn money for free! And you even get a $5 bonus just for signing up.

However, being popular and making claims doesn’t mean much when it comes to make money online programs. So, I decided to do a review of FusionCash to test out the site and get a firsthand account of what it’s all about. Here are my fusion cash review findings…

One thing I noticed right away is that the owner of FusionCash is very helpful and quick to respond to emails. I emailed him a few times before I signed up just to get a feel for things and he replied to all of them much faster than I would have expected. Plus, when I did sign up my phone verification had a glitch, so I emailed him about it and within a few minutes he had manually verified my phone number and written me back to let me know.

I even had a couple questions for him while writing this review and he wrote back to both my emails within just a few minutes. This is a huge plus for FusionCash in my opinion. Most programs don’t have close to that kind of support, especially from the owner himself.

Another thing I noticed about FusionCash before I joined is that they have a very solid history. They have been in business for more than a decade and are Better Business Bureau (BBB) accredited with an A+ rating (at the time of writing this). According to the BBB there is nothing in their files that causes them to have any doubt about the company’s reliability.

They also have a lot of positive reviews and positive feedback on other websites. There are some negative reviews but that is typical of any money making program. I was looking for what the majority of people had to say and for the most part the fusioncash reviews were positive.

Something else I like to check before I join any type of program, whether it’s free or paid, is the WhoIs record of the domain. It’s certainly not a fool-proof way to separate the scammers from the legitimate sites, but it is a good sign if the company doesn’t hide anything in their WhoIs report. I found that Fusion Cash has everything out in the open for anyone to see. They don’t try to hide their information. That’s another plus for them.

Thus far, I have really only discussed the things I found before actually joining FusionCash.

Now, I would like to review the parts that I am sure you really want to know about, which is the ways you can earn money from them and the actual opportunities they present…

First of all, the site is free to join and that is never a bad thing. You can’t lose money if you just want to check it out, or really have much else to worry about since you don’t have to pay anything to join in the first place.

Having the opportunity to make money for free is one more positive thing that FusionCash offers.

You also get a free $5 bonus just for signing up. All you have to do is complete your first offer to get the bonus. So, not only do you get to join for free and have offers available for you to earn free money, you also get a free cash bonus for doing almost nothing. That’s a pretty good deal if you ask me.

Once you’re inside they have a lot of offers/surveys that you can complete to earn money. Some of them are completely free with no credit card information or other payment information needed. Some are free trials that ask for payment information and will start charging you if you don’t cancel before the trial period is over. And some of the offers do require you to purchase something. As expected, the offers that cost you some sort of fee or that require you to give payment information are usually the ones you get paid the highest for.

The site is also very easy to use. I didn’t really find anything about it that is confusing or difficult to figure out. Instead of spending all day trying to learn how to use the site you can pretty much just jump right in and start earning extra money.

Probably my favorite part of FusionCash and the biggest reason why I wanted to join is their excellent referral program. This gives members the ability to earn a lot more money just by telling people they know about the opportunity or by promoting it on their websites. You get $1 for every person you refer and another $2 when they complete their first offer, plus you get $5 every time they cash out — over and over again for as long as they are a member. And it’s very easy to promote because it’s free to join and has a very good reputation. Fusion cash definitely has a great referral program!

Finally, one more positive thing about fusion cash is the fact that they have three different payment methods to fit with the preferences of almost anyone. You can choose to get paid via paypal, check, or direct deposit. Having all three options is very convenient.

There are a couple negative things I have found with FusionCash though, so it’s not all great…

It does take some organization on your part to keep track of all the offers, especially the ones you need to cancel before the free trial period is over so you don’t get charged. You also need to read the fine print on the offers to avoid any difficulties or unexpected charges.

You also probably aren’t going to make enough money from them to support yourself or your family. That’s simply the way it is with “get paid to” programs in general, not just fusion cash. It can be a really good way to earn extra money for free — just don’t expect to get rich from it.

Overall my review of FusionCash is definitely positive! I see no reason why I shouldn’t recommend their opportunity to other people. They seem to be a very reliable company with a great track record and provide a solid way to earn free money online. Fusion cash is not a scam, that’s something I can say for sure.

Alright, that pretty much sums up my fusioncash review. I certainly think you should check it out and see for yourself if it’s right for you!

Cash Crate Review – Can You Make Easy Money Online?

My CashCrate Review: Many people are wondering how to make easy money online, and I bet you are one of them considering the fact that you are reading this post right now.

The problem with making money online is that, for the most part, it is NOT easy or quick. If you want to earn a living from an online business and be in it for the long run then it will take you anywhere from several months to several years of hard work and dedication to do it.

However, there are some programs that offer fast and easy ways to earn extra cash online that you can get started on right now. One such place is a website called Cash Crate that promises you can get paid to take free offers and online surveys.

So, is it true? I will give you my review of CashCrate in this post.

When I first joined Cash Crate I made some money doing free offers and then sort of forgot about it for a while until two different bloggers who I follow posted about their cash crate earnings, which were pretty good, so I decided to give it another look.

I dug a little deeper and found they actually have a really good system that is very easy to use. There are also a few different ways to make money using their website. But there are also a couple things I didn’t like.

Let’s start with the good stuff…

1) It’s completely free to join – That’s always a good thing because you have absolutely nothing to worry about if you just want to at least take a look inside before you decide if it’s for you or not.

2) Free ways to earn money (and easy) – Again free is always good and the offers, surveys, and pretty much everything else in CashCrate are mostly all free. You get paid without having to spend money or do much of anything.

3) You can make money fast – This is something we all want and cashcrate does offer the ability to do that. Obviously the amounts might not be huge but the ability to earn quickly is there.

4) Contests and prizes – There are contests that can be won and lots of prizes that can be earned. That’s a nice added bonus to the program.

5) Free referral program – As a member you get your own affiliate link so you can refer others and get paid from their participation. It comes complete with a promotion center, reporting, landing pages, and more. Plus, you get bonuses when your referrals complete their first cash offer or when they earn their first $10. It’s a very easy way to make money online.

6) Simplicity – Everything about the site is very easy to understand and use. I had no troubles figuring out how to take offers, the basics of the referral program, or anything else inside the member’s area.

I’m not going to say CashCrate is the best way to earn money online, but it’s certainly one of the easiest and fastest!

Okay, I did say there were a couple things I didn’t like so let’s get to those now…

1) Forget to cancel trial offers – The biggest complaint about Cash Crate is that some of the offers are free trials that start charging after a certain amount of time. So, if you forget to cancel trial offers before the free time is up then you will have to pay. Therefore, you need to be very careful about keeping track of these types of offers and cancelling them in time.

2) Won’t make a lot of money – One thing about this program is that you definitely aren’t going to retire off the income you earn with it. You might not think this is a bad thing if you are just looking to earn extra money, but I do. However, the referral program does make this negative a little more positive because you don’t actually have to sit there and take the offers in order to make money with CashCrate.

Now, let’s get back to the question of whether or not you can make easy money online with Cash Crate?

The answer is YES, you can. However, you won’t get rich from it and you probably won’t even come close to earning a full time income with them. But if you need a little extra money each month then CashCrate could be exactly what you are looking for. I’ve been paid at least a $1,000 from cash crate already without hardly doing anything to earn it, so I would definitely say that’s worth it.

My overall Cash Crate Review is definitely positive. It’s not the greatest thing in the world but it does work and you absolutely can make money from their program. It’s certainly NOT a scam and there are heck of a lot worse things out there. I’m comfortable giving it my recommendation for sure.

So, if you need to earn some extra money then give CashCrate a try.

The Keyword Academy Review

So a lot of people out there are wondering how to make money online, and it can be tough, especially for beginners. There is a place that is beginner friendly and can really get you on the right track for success in your efforts to work from home successfully. That place is The Keyword Academy (TKA) and you can try it free for the first month. Okay, so I guess I’ve given away my opinion that it’s a good place, but why? I’ll tell you…

First off they offer a very positive attitude with real usable advice that does work. A lot of people out there promise to show you how to make you a million dollars in no time with no effort, and that is a load of crap for sure. Courtney Tuttle and Mark Butler don’t make these kind of promises, but what they do is give you a clear road map for how to make real online passive income with a bit of hard work and dedication.

This road map takes the form of the core videos that take you through the basics of making money online, from setting up a site, to how to choose a niche, how to get your site ranked for keywords, and finally how to monetize your site through affiliate income and other opportunities. Have more questions after you watch the webinars? Well that’s not an issue because there are hundreds of experts on their friendly forum who are happy to answer any questions you might have. It’s a great additional resource.

For people more advanced in the make money online world there are some great benefits of The Keyword Academy for them too. Included with your subscription is the guest posting system called Post Runner (which allows you to automatically post articles on other peoples sites to build backlinks, rankings, and traffic) and also a very useful keyword selection tool called Niche Refinery that scans for low competition keywords that will help you make money with niche sites.

On top of that you also now get “streamline” – A task management tool to help support your business processes. This is another cool (and useful) part of being a TKA member.

They are also constantly growing their knowledge base and producing webinars for their advanced members. A recent video series was about how to bump your sites from getting some traffic to gaining “massive traffic”. They continue to teach to both levels of students with regular updates.

In my opinion, the best part about the keyword academy is the PostRunner guest posting system. That alone is worth the membership cost without even taking into consideration everything else that comes with the TKA membership. It is an awesome way to get backlinks, traffic, increase search engine rankings, and ultimately make more money!

So, I guess what I am trying to say is that my review of the keyword academy is very positive. If I had to recommend just one resource for making money online there’s no doubt that TKA is it!

In summary, there really is something for everyone inside the keyword academy. As an experienced online business owner I personally find the guest posting system and the keyword selection tool to be more than worth the membership costs. And if you are a new or struggling internet marketer you will definitely find the information they teach to be a goldmine. It truly is a killer system! The private forum is also a great place to ask questions and share ideas. Heck, if you sign up I’ll see you there.

Join The Keyword Academy today! You will be VERY happy you did. I’d bet on it.
