Feedback
I have been receiving a lot of feedback indicating that many people involved in the Freagle/EHBE strategy are enjoing the taining but concerned about the investment required accross the 12 months for the results they are receiving.
I would welcome any emails as to whether you would be prepered to pay for a course with the same content at a reduced price. If the course was $29 per month as opposed to $60 per month would you be more likely to continue throughout the whole program?
I look forward to receiving your thoughts.

Social Bookmarking Basics
For those of you new to Affiliate Marketing you will have hear the terms social bookmarking but many of the recognised affiliate training programs fail to explain the basic concepts behind social bookmarking and why it works. The following video will hopefully provide some basic information on the concepts.

Review - The Freagle Strategy
I have been away for a little while but wanted to provide an update on my experiences so far with the EHBE solution. When I made decision to join the program I decided I would test all of the recommendations and provide an analysis of my successes and failures.
My first review is of where the Freagle Free Product Offer fits into the overall scheme of things. The strategy involves offering a free product offer in order to generate traffic to your products and services via the interactive banner adds. This has caused some confusing with new members as the strategy was not very clearly explained in the initial overview (this is not the first time things have been missed out but I will get to that in the upcoming clickbank review)
To test the process I decided to do so using my wife's Nutrimetics consulting business as a guinea pig. I therefore offered $200 worth of skincare products and set up the following website (I am no web designer so constructive criticism is welcome) http://www.yourbeautydirect.com/ it cost me around $100 including hosting the free domain name, ability to setup unlimited domains and bandwidth, $25 of google AdSense credits, search engine listing etc...... after reviewing a number of hosting companies is decided on .... because it gave me the flexibility to host multiple domains.
I chose just host (see below) because of these reasons.
Back to Freagle ..... So after setting up a free product offer I then created a banner add pointing to my webpage with the free product offer. After tracking the stats throughout the last 3 weeks I found that I had more answers to questions (91 correct and 81 incorrect) and only 68 referrals to the website. This would indicate that the majority of the banner clicks resulted in guesses rather then click troughs to the product site. Moreover those click throughs did not result in any sales.
Now I acknowledge this could have been because of the site so I decided to give a more thorough test. I registered for the markethealth affiliate program heading the suggestions of Andrew Clacy to ensure your affiliate programs are close to your product offers
I chose a few affiliate offers from the site and promoted them as banner ads. I received similar results. Idol white generate 148 correct 74 incorrect answers and reversitol resulted in 96 correct and 67 incorrect my stats however did indicate more unique click through which was a positive but no sales.
So in summary I found that while the Freagle system did as promised generate traffic to the desired sites the focus was on the free product offer and I did not receive any genuine buyers. Where I believe Freagle could be improved is if it allowed warm leads to be added to an opt in list for the Free product offers so that email marketing could be done at a later date. This would make the process much more powerful worthwhile paying for.
More to come .... next my clickbank review update.... don't miss this one.

Jury is out on EHBE
After my second month of being on the Easiest Home Business Ever Program I have decided to put a hold on my membership. I want to be clear here, I have not cancelled my membership but put it on hold until the company releases its new process of allowing members to complete the course at thier own pace. While the ocntent thus far has beejn informative it is slow moving and I have no doubt this has been a large afctor in what the company acknowledges has been a large number of cancellations since they advertised the program on Today Tonight (Australian Current Affairs Program).
Due to a lack of teleseminars (last one was 11th June after a number of seminars prior) I have decided that I will reinvest in the company when the content justifies.
More to come....

Response to Recent Negative Feedback
During recent Teleseminars and after reviewing some of the feedback on other blogs as well as twitter relating to the Freagle Easiest Home Business Ever Program. It had occured to me that it was an opportunity to get a feel for how switched on and professional the organisation was.
From a pure PR perspective the negative press needed an appropriate response to avoid loosing more customers. I am glad to say that this evening this was received by way of an email which was professionally put together and indicated that someone with some expertise in customer management and communication was employed. The email to all members explained some of the reasons for the delays in responding to the 15,000 emails that had been received. I can imagine this was a big task, however the main thing this has achieved is restored some level of confidence in the professionalism of the organisation as a whole. Something I am sure the members were happy to receive.
