ABB Sucks!!!

[Khufu Sen]

Hi Mike,

Only joking, sorry I meant it ROCKS. I have been through your course on two occasions and now going through it a third time. Reason being, everytime I read it I get a much better understanding on how the ABB system work and how autoblogging system works.

Mike, I truly congratulate you for what you have put together and the community you have created. This is good stuff here, very good stuff.
I loaned $800 to purchase WP Mage after researching it on Warrior and put my payment through on three occasions but it would not accept my payment. I was very annoyed and tried another time, but still the payment was rejected.

I carried on researching for another hour and someone on Warrior (could have been Ezine Articles), mentioned if you wanted to learn the real deal on how to Autoblog to purchase Auto Blog Blueprint, and at the fraction of the cost for WP Mage.
Again I decided to do research now on ABB, and I must say everything that I read was good reading and truthful. No promises of $2000 dollars in your first week rubbish, give up your day job in 48 hours nonsense. You know the deal.

It was a done deal and I purchased the ABB package. I knew I could read the course at least twice within 30 days so it was a no brainer for me. I was very happy (and it was a blessing) that my payment was not accepted online for WP Mage.

As stated I have gone through the ABB course with a fine tooth comb, writing notes, watching the videos, clicking on the links and the plugins etc to get the FULL gist of how this product works and I know it works. The only thing that can make it not work is the person doing it. Tweaking and retesting.

I have learnt more about Wordpress than from people who work for Wordpress.

The reason I have sent this message is because in the Internet Marketing world there is 300 plus different ways to make money, opinions etc that leads to information overload. I have been into Internet Marketing now for three years and heard every get rich scheme you can think of.

I have homed my mind now on only three modules, ABB being one of them and there are two others that I will be working on over the next 12 months as information overload is damaging.

I have decided to start by opening accounts up all the free accounts for press releases etc as I am very methodical and will then start to niche find, create the blogs and go step by step, just how you teach it.

You may not hear from me much in the forum after today, but I will be visiting the forum and reading the questions and answers and if any doubt will post a question.
Mike again, thanks for the great information. I have wanted to do this for two years now but could not find the right teacher or maybe it was “the teacher will appear when the student is ready”.

I will keep you updated with my progress and ask you for tweaking advice etc…..

Speak Soon
Khufu

I'm new to ABB and just finished watching all the videos and reading all the steps. Mike, you've truly done an impressive job putting it all together.

My question has to do with the "$3,000 per month" I see mentioned so much in the forums. I appreciate that your program isn't a get rich quick scheme, but I'm trying to get a sense of how much work is required for each blog up front, how much maintenance is required on an ongoing basis, and how many of those blogs a typical person would need to do to make $3,000 per month. For me, $3,000 a month is peanuts and definitely not worth leaving my current career, so it's definitely not an incentive for me to dive into all the work (which you've very clearly and honestly laid out). Obviously, the process is repeatable so there's potential to move beyond the $3,000 per month. But depending on how much time it takes to set up a blog and how much time to maintain them, I'm not clear on where the breaking point is. In other words, at what point would one have so many blogs that just the maintenance required makes having more blogs problematic?

I know everyone has different success, so it's not possible to say "if you have X blogs then you'll make Y." But considering the fact that it is so much work, as you've stated, I'd love to hear some real-life examples of how much people are making, how many blogs they have, and how much time it takes per blog once it's launched.

Thanks!

If your making good money from you job keep it and do this part time.

I am working full-time and doing this part time. It took me a year to really start making money with this. I have a good webdesign and code editing background but I lacked sales skills and marketing focus when I started. I could put up a great looking site but they didn't make sales but I gotten better over the year. I am currently average around an extra 1k a month off of 5 sites. I aim to get a site generating 100~300 a month before I move on a focus on a new one.

I would suggest start with one and get it to work for you and once you make your first few sales or your site is generating some sort of revenue amplify the process .

Keep your job and do this part time and if it works for you it works for you.

Good Luck

[boywithk9]

Thanks for the reply!

A couple questions: How much time do your 5 sites take to maintain once you get them generating money? Could one just keep adding on new sites and not become overwhelmed with the maintenance? What monetization model(s) are you using on your 5 sites?

Thanks again!

So far on ABB my experience has been that this is not a "blueprint" per se, it is more like someone saying "Go west young man!" A blueprint would tell me how much I would need to spend, how much I would get in return and how long it will take me to make that amount of money. Instead, there are a lot of promises of someday finding gold. I have no idea how much this will cost me or how many hours i will have to put in. That is extremely frustrating.

To extremely frustrating..

I was surprised by your statement ,any way have a look here >
http://www.autoblogblueprint.com/mod...your-strategy/

this is a business ,what that means ,in the ABB ,the issues of cost,how long,and any thing else you can throw up,

are judgement calls on your part.Business is risk ,means some sites will be lose makers [ but we learn from those to get better]

some sites will be gain makers [and we learn from them]as 4 *blueprint * we do have models and stages which in my opinion are

well crafted ...but the issue is this members have to embrace the content and get into it are you prepared to make that commitment

for you or are you going to walk on bye.

To do that with the ABB would be impossible. There is so much to Internet Marketing and so many variables in spending, niches, probability of success based on individual ability to learn the material, etc., etc., etc. I could do that and lie about it to you and members, but the reality is this, it is up to you. The blueprint, much like any other in Internet and Affiliate Marketing is a base for you to follow. Success in this venture is up to you. Niches are extremely important and I can't pick them for you or your blog content. Not for over 7000 members.

You need to have realistic expectations. Yes, I could hype it and lie to you like so many other products on the web do, but I don't believe in anything but Honest Marketing.

I've sometimes myself have become frustrated when I first enrolled into this program and completely did what they tell you not to do...rush! There are no magic programs or turn key money making sites to be had no matter how much one wishes there were. After being distracted for several months and starting/stopping various programs I came to realize that success in this world of internet marketing is 10% knowledge/skills and 90% perseverance/consistency to stick it out with one program.

of course time will tell, but this is one doorway (Mike's Blueprint) you need to walk through and not just settle for peeping through a keyhole...

@bigbry2k3 .......your post reminds me of someone asking "how much does a car cost?". Well, what brand?, model?, what engine?, what options? Also the only 'promise' made was to follow the blue print and work your ass off for YOUR business. As far as what you make, that depends on YOU. A blue print tells you you how to build a house. It does not tell you the cost of tools, materials, or labor costs. These are all variables of your choosing.

I can point you to a dozen programs (as others can) that will tell you exactly what you want to hear. "Make thousands a day in 7 days!" "How I made a $100,000 my first month!" Yeah, that's how THEY make thousands a day, selling to people who want a quick buck -LMAO

You want numbers?

Tools for your business= figure $300 -$400 upfront if you have nothing (keyword software, premium plugins and a couple of premium themes)
Hosting = $20 -$40 a month
5 domains = $50
.info domain name for a test site = $2 a year
Internet for home = $20 - $30 a month
3 ring binder and paper = $10
a pen = $1
Help from ABB members = FREE!

So, around $500 +/- to start a business (including the BEST blue print on how to do it!), not bad. Now roll your sleeves up and get working for your business. Set up 5 blogs within 6 weeks.
The only chief incalculable is the human will (Tsun Tzu) and your ability to learn. Two BIG if's.

It also would serve you well to read this thread in it's entirety:
