First Month Back in CTP 2.0
After months away from TEs, am back surfing and working the lessons on CTP...
I make a point to logon to ClickTrackProfit each day to view at least one lesson, rate 20 sites, and review at least one, in the Gauntlet. Am surfing a minimum 50 pages for each of the requested "Mastery" TEs, plus a few more. But I am having some issues.
In the old days, virtually every TE seemed to allow quick creation of personalized referral/splash pages. But except for social pages, am not finding this old access. What am I overlooking? With personalized pages, maybe viewers might be a little more inclined to become referrals.
Speaking of which, am still having a tough time generating referrals and income. Thinking the secret to overcoming this is in upgrading. But with a limited budget, it'll be a trial to discover which choices are cost-effective.
(sigh) We'll see.

I share you feelings re referrals, Demetri. persistence is the key in any business. be very careful to try not too hard, just be yourself. I find the very best place to get referrals is by chat. join a few Telegram groups, say "hi all" and start chatting. keep text in lowercase throughout (except for proper nouns) as makes you appear more friendly. find out what the audience needs. help them and they will ((eventually)) come aboard your programs. just takes time and effort. quality vs quantity.
Well done with all those CTP activities @weedermann, and if I may, upgrade your TrafficWave autoresponder first, get some referrals there you will start to profit with 3, and then use that cashflow to invest in everything else without the need to take from your own pocket, stay awesome.

Would you use Trafficwave if you owned one?
I bought this app last year: https://app.mailprimo.com
Thanks @weedermann and thank you for creating awesome content.
Now onto your question and that "app" you talked about, so let me just say that @thisisawesome is a curation project run by @flaxz, and that I will be brutally honest with you here.
So the first thing is that if I owned an autoresponder I would of course use that, and by owned I do mean that it's my autoresponder and I run that as a business and selling it as a service to other people.
And no I do not own an autoresponder, but I do know where to get a free autoresponder script that I can run on my own hosting, but that would be limited just to my own use and the hassle to keep it running takes too much time to be worth it.
Therefore onto a paid service that can take care of running it for me, something that is reliable and with unlimited lists, subscribers and emails, and with a nice affiliate program.
Now let's see about that MailPrimo, so I did some digging, there is no mention whatsoever about price on their pages, just a 14 day free trial, first big red flag.
So I made a Google search for reviews to get some details, and it turns out that they have 4 Upsells plus a monthly plan, just to make it feature complete, and that would cost a small fortune, second big red flag.
So onto your claim of ownership, I am really sorry man, the only thing you "own" is the right to use their services for as long as they stay in operation, if they close up the service is gone, third red flag.
Sustainability of their business model, so the upsells are just one time fees, no residual cashflow and no incentive for them to keep going long term, the only thing that gives any sustainability is the monthly plan and that's $27 per month and not very likely to see a lot of sales, fourth red flag.
I could keep going a while longer, but I think this is enough, this is the kind of programs that I would stay far away from, the ones that is in operation for 2 to 3 years and then close up shop, they begin with a lot of hype, they have lot's of hidden and expensive upsells, you have to dig a lot to even get the price before signing up, and the business model is for the most part not sustainable in the long term.
Those are my thoughts on this, and I hope you will have some use of this, stay awesome man.
