—————————————————————————————————————————————–

Alright… by now the hype surrounding Mass Control has gotten to stratospheric levels. I don’t want to contribute to it, just give you my honest opinion about this phenomenon.

First of all, I really think you should read this post by Eric Holmlund. Seriously, go read it before you keep reading this. I have no affiliation with Eric NOR with Mass Control. I’m only giving you this link because I believe you MUST read it before continuing. It’s THAT important.

OK, I’ll assume you’ve read Eric’s review by now. I’d like to point out a few things I got from there:

1) MOST important: despite what many affiliates might be telling you, I don’t think Mass Control is a MUST BUY. I really believe there is no such thing, as much as I believe there is no “Magic Bullet”. Building a business takes hard work and NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING can replace that. Not even on the internet (although I would certainly agree that it’s much easier to “make it” here than on the “real world”)

2) You need to make your buying decision according to your experience level: Eric basically distinguished 3 levels of Internet Marketers: newbies, intermediate and advanced. I consider myself in the intermediate category. I have and do make money online on a regular basis. Not much, however, and I’ve still got MUCH to learn and (most importantly) DO. I guess many marketers on my “category” could and will benefit from this course. Personally, as I write this, I’m STILL pondering my decision.

What you need to do is take a hard look at yourself and realize your level of internet marketing expertise. If you’re new to this game and are just peddling get rich quick schemes here and there and trying to make sense of all of this, then please, PLEASE don’t get in debt or do anything stupid to get an advanced-level course like Mass Control. This might sound harsh, but trust me, I’m writing this for your own good.

If you’re an intermediate or advanced marketer, the decision gets a little trickier. You have to carefully weigh in the investment you’re about to make (not only in money, but also in TIME and ENERGY), versus the return you can expect from that investment. Only you know if you can REALLY benefit from buying Mass Control. Can you apply it to your business right now, without “shifting focus”? If so, then you should go for it.

If you decide to buy it, I think you should “shop” for the best bonus available and make darn sure you clear your cookies and such, so the affiliate gets credited for the sale and you can claim your bonus. With that said, I’m gonna talk about some of the bonuses out there.

Again, I’m NOT affiliated with ANY of these marketers, nor with Frank Kern or Mass Control. These are THEIR affiliate links and bonus pages. I don’t get 2nd tier commissions, percentages or anything for giving you these links.

With that said, let’s talk about the bonuses (all links open in a new window).

Personally, I think Jeremy Gislason and Simon Hodkingson’s bonus is one of the best out there. They’re giving away (amongst many other things) a $2,000 discount coupon for their high-end Memberspeed membership site software and an offer to create an ebook for you and give it massive exposure. If I were to buy Mass Control, I would probably buy it from them. You can check out their bonus package here.

Jason James’ bonus comes a close second. What is most valuable about his bonus is he letting you “borrow” his list of 100,000 people. This is a KILLER opportunity IF you take proper advantage of it. Please, please don’t take him up and WASTE your mailing promoting some MLM crap or anything like that. Use it to build your list, have a proper back-end and KNOW YOUR NUMBERS. I cannot stress this enough. How good is a promotion from a top marketer if your conversion sucks? Probably worthless. Get that right before you ask him for the mailing.

Jason is also giving away a copy of his upcoming high-ticket ($500+) product. That’s pretty cool. Jason is also giving away some fairly unrelated bonuses. The coolest is your choice of an LCD TV, a Laptop and a GPS unit. While you might not need or want any of this stuff, you can always turn around and sell it, making back some of your investment in Mass Control. You can see Jason’s bonus here.

John Delavera is giving away a critique of sorts of your Mass Control project (which you will have done by the end of the course if you follow the instructions). He is also giving you a $1,000 discount should you decide to take him on his mentoring (it costs $6,997) in the future. John doesn’t have a bonus page, so you need to keep his affiliate link handy when the buying frenzy comes. John’s link is http://www.findv.com/masscontrol

There are a bunch of other marketers giving away what I basically consider “stuffy” bonuses. Sure, some of their DVDs, home study courses and such might be very good, but the question is… do you REALLY need yet MORE marketing information? I think you will have enough for a long time with Mass Control, so I’d advise you to stay away from bonus packages that don’t give you a REAL return on your investment. A TV, you can always sell it. Advertising is always useful, so is coaching (although it’s harder to turn a profit from these intangibles, of course). A marketing course? I KNOW you’ve got plenty of stuff collecting dust already. You don’t need more.

Alright, I think that sums it up. I won’t be updating this post, since Mass Control will most definitely sell out in 1.5 nano-seconds, so if you are to do any “bonus” shopping, make sure to do it with plenty of time. You don’t want to be “thinking about it” while the whole internet marketing community is scrambling for that order link, if you want to get yours.

Please post your comments below and let me know what you think. Are you buying Mass Control? Why? Why not? Which bonus do you like most?

Thanks for reading. Whatever you choose to do, make sure you make a RATIONAL decision, not an impulse-buy.

To your success,

Juan-Pablo Cangas

P.S.: If you are NOT buying Mass Control, you might want to check out this (by no means a substitute) cheap audio product. It’s converting like crazy and I made my investment back like 10 times yesterday. Check it out here. (note: this IS my affiliate link for this product). It’s also a great lesson on marketing. These guys took great advantage of the Mass Control “hysteria” and created a very successful product around it.
