Reps to Ch0m and layna for the products, tristan for the review, and reggozo for the upload.
I've now gone through the FE and OTO1...everything but the DFY stuff.
It's definitely good - WAY better than most WSO type BS. However, I thought the FE was a little heavy on theory, but not actual principle. And not as much in practical application.
There are some good examples, but there's much better ways to do emails, IMO. Maybe giving nothing but hardcore value with the most minimal of pitch is what's needed for something like gardening or any other almost purely hobby niche consisting of mainly old folks. But learning how to craft emails that can go out daily that are a cross between education and information with a CTA to buy every single time aren't that hard.
Anyway...I'm rambling.
The way he ties his gardening newsletter / email into their site...and basing almost exclusively in articles...I at times almost felt like it was as much of a blogging / authority site course as it was a newsletter course. If you're gonna build a site like that, then cool. But it came off a little disingenuous (I thought) when the sales copy brags hard on how you could run the whole thing with a "2-page site".
The PPC info in the FE was Ok. A little basic. The bonus reports were good.
IMO, the co-reg stuff is OTO1 is what was gold. And a bit perplexing.
I'll admit that I'd not heard of co-reg before. But seeing how it works (refer to tristan's review), if you can legit get leads for a quarter each, and they come in at good velocity, I legit don't understand why you'd screw around with a blog, FB ads, re-targeting, or the like.
Sure, I understand how they can garner free leads and traffic, go viral, etc. But it all seems like a LOT more work than just going the co-reg route, learning how to write good emails, then either scaling up or spreading out into multiple niches.
Yes, coreg might be a little more $$ up front, but in the end, it'll be no less than you'd spend on FB ads, having content created, etc.
That is, if coreg works as well as OTO1 says it does. Heck, the weight loss case study in OTO1 dang near broke even in a week, and that was using email swipes that likely weren't that good.
SIDE-NOTE - that's kinda another beef of mine with how he does email...either he seems afraid to pitch (a la the gardening) or goes overboard on the hype train (see the email swipe examples in the weight loss case study). There is a definite middle ground. As I said, I didn't look at the DFY stuff, so maybe those emails are more along these lines.
IMO, the real ticket here would be to use the info on picking a niche in the FE, the co-reg info in OTO1 for getting leads, then go read everything you can get your hands on by Ben Settle, Ian Stanley, and the like (there's plenty in the copywriting freebies forum).
Seems like that'd be gold for the taking. THAT IS if co-reg is all it's supposedly cracked up to be.
My two cents.
As an aside, does anyone have this from Duston McGroarty?
@noob14: Good question. It looks like culgone is like some other members here who comes along to make a teaser post (a simple observation) but when someone asks a question to challenge their assumption, they vanish into thin air.
I'd like to hear, too, why co-reg would be obsolete now, as his post suggests. We simply need to know.
