		<description>Hello Scott - I appreciate you taking time to visit and comment on my blog. However, I have no idea what you are referring to as it relates to ClickBank... I love ClickBank and it is a central part of Worldprofit&#039;s system.

I have trained extensively on the subject and I think ClickBank represents a great opportunity for anyone interested in marketing information products. Now, there have been far too many &quot;make $962,000 in 7 days&quot; dupe programs, but that is not ClickBank itself.

As far as calling ClickBank a vendor, it is in fact a marketplace, so I am do understand the context in which you are using this. 

Feel free to come back anytime and comment Scott and I will check out your site as well. Have a blessed evening!

James

P.S. As for Worldprofit, I have learned a ton, leveraged their automated tools to promote my primary programs, helped a few others get started, and I&#039;m enjoying 15 months of uninterrupted profits and counting since joining May 12, 2010.</description>

		<description>Like anything in life there are good and bad in all things. You do realize that Clickbank itself is not the vendor and that there are good vendors and bad vendors?

Your comment is full of ignorance. I honestly am not into the WorlProfit thing as the moment I came in and met the supposed pro closer who was going to close sales for me (like I am going to drop all my business and start promoting WP is kinda funny to begin with) was some older man who obviously is not making any money online, so he has to sit up at 3am making sure people spend 20 minutes to watch a video....loll. OK,

but back to clickbank.....dude....it happens to be the NUMBER 1 info product distributor on the internet. Calling clickbank a scam is the same as calling Google a scam, because you know there are an aweful lot of frauds and scams being done by sites that you can find on Google.

silly when you look at it that way isn&#039;t it?</description>

		<description>Hello Chris - 

I appreciate you taking the time to read my blog and issue a post. I have been purchasing, using, and marketing ClickBank products for nearly 3 years without a single complaint. My focus is in the Internet Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, and work from home niches - I know nothing about the security niche. 

Neither myself or anyone that I network with have voiced any security issues and I understand they complete on average 26,000 transactions per day.

As for Worldprofit, they have been online doing business with the same ownership group and the same base of operations for more than 16 years. This easily makes them among the oldest Internet commerce companies - having been founded in 1994.

I guess I am trying to say that I am comfortable with my partners and my recommendations here. In both instances they have proven themselves at a high standard.

I hope that you will come back often and share your thoughts.

Have a blessed day!

James</description>

		<description>Clickbank products?  Seriously?
I&#039;m a computer security professional.  I looked through the selection of antivirus/antispyware products available from Clickbank, and every single one that I checked over several pages of products was a rogue.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_antivirus

It appears that Clickbank, at least in the computer software category, is simply a distribution hub for cyber criminals.

I won&#039;t even bother checking anything else, because this entire category is doing nothing but promoting fraud.  That&#039;s enough to turn me off the entire thing.

If WorldProfit is promoting this crap, then they&#039;re accessories to fraud, too.

		<description>Hello Bert - 

I wanted to thank you for taking the time to visit my site and post your comments. I am afraid that my personal experience and extensive due diligence on Worldprofit would cause me to disagree with your conclusions. Nothing in life is free and that is even more true online when it comes to business. You either have to invest financially or with time or both to achieve a true income online. There are skills you have to learn and methods of marketing you must master (to a degree). The Internet tends to reward the most to whomever does this best. The bottom-line is that anyone with an open mind, a willingness to learn, the ability to take action and patience can be successful at Worldprofit and create a true income. The world needs more pioneers, more achievers, more entrepreneurs!

I hope you stop by and comment often!</description>

		<description>Wayne - I would hazard to guess for every person Dr. Lant is able to push, pull and motivate to break through and give themselves a chance, which is actually his intent... he offends one who will not give Worldprofit a chance, which is too bad. That is where the football coach analogy comes in... I remember a couple of guys that we could have used on our team who walked away from the team. It is a valid point that you raise here. 

I spite of this the opportunity is real once a person gets through that storm!</description>

		<description>Now, if only Lant wasn&#039;t so obnoxiously rude to new people.  lol

Nice to hear of the changes.  Perhaps I&#039;ll go undercover again and see for myself one of these, when I have nothing to code up.  :)

		<description>Wayne - Thank you for the additional thoughts and comments. A programmer? I didn&#039;t realize that... a skill I do not have! Based on what I have read on your blog, I am certain that you are good at what you do and I sincerely look forward to getting to know you better and now learning more about your work as well.

Here is a snap shot of Worldprofit&#039;s business model:

1.) Free Associates can become paid members on a month to month basis for $99.95 and they receive the &quot;Silver Level Package.&quot; The package is all inclusive with a website (you can use your own domain name and that is a BIG CHANGE as it allows you to keep it if you ever leave. I purchase my domain MyWorldprofit.com and .net about 2 years ago (when I looked at WP the first time) and had been using it for another program until now. So whatever happens the domains stay with me and that is an option for everyone.

As mentioned, Worldprofit has completely re-engineered their back-end sales funnel and most dealers make their money selling ClickBank Products and Master Resell products that are added to the Silver Package every month. In addition to a variety of automated SEO and traffic tools. So the income streams are new member referrals, over-rides on their sales, ClickBank direct sales, info product direct sales. I also know of a few member that use Worldprofit&#039;s tools to market their other &quot;primary businesses&quot; in direct sales.

2.) The free traffic comes from a variety of sources, yes 2 of the 50 traffic sources are on safelist that Worldprofit owns and the other 18 are among the largest safelist and traffic exchanges in the Internet Marketing niche. Now I would agree that traffic from safelist and traffic exchanges are not if the quality of PPC, Ezine Ads or other forms of paid advertising - but I have had a lot of success using them for personal branding and list building over the past few years. I am very pro safelist and traffic exchanges, so this didn&#039;t bother me. Members could always re-invest a portion of their earnings from Worldprofit into paid advertising methods.

I want to make one last comment on the 24/7 monitor network made up of other members... real people who have graduated from or are completing George Kosch&#039;s Millionaire Bootcamp which is a step by step guided educated education program design to help newbie and intermediate marketers learn how to market ClickBank and create a personal brand. For those that choose to be monitors, this provides a chance for them to breakout of their comfort zone and if they apply themselves they really will learn how to succeed online.

I appreciate the exchange we have had and wish you the very best in your business and your life!</description>

		<description>No, I&#039;m above all the trash as well.  I want to quickly point out, that I&#039;m not a marketer, I&#039;m a programmer.  One that can see through the smoke and mirrors and understand exactly how things are being done, and what the motivation behind certain things are.

Now, if things have changed on Lant&#039;s systems, then perhaps he&#039;s done away with some of the things that bothered me about it to call it into question and ultimately decide that it&#039;s just another pyramid scheme.  I&#039;ll give you that.

But, if the system is still about people getting people to create a site to get more people to create a site, that will get more people to create a site that only serves to feed more people into the system, where the system is only about circling traffic round their own network of sites, and then call that traffic the free traffic push that is guaranteed to be given once you sign up, then it&#039;s still not a system I&#039;d call worthy of being alive.

I&#039;m certainly not willing to pay nearly $100 just to see if the system is going to work, especially when 

A) You don&#039;t get to keep the domain name
B) Any claims of &quot;free traffic&quot; or &quot;traffic push&quot; is usually very low quality traffic
C) You pay the same amount at a domain registrar and a host, and can then establish an unlimited number of domains, as well consume an unlimited amount of bandwidth.

For what?  So you can have a page that features a person in a webcam that is supposed to help you close a sale?  And again, what&#039;s that sale?  The sale is to get yet another person hyped up about building a website to bring even more people in....round and round and round.

It&#039;s still very much a waste of money, and to me is aimed at fleecing those that really don&#039;t know the Internet.  Dr. Lant is taking their trust and money, and not providing enough back for it. IMO.

Maybe someday I&#039;ll have time to watch a screencast or cam session.

Btw, I did approve your comments, I always do so long as they are not spam.  

Cheers James!  You&#039;re a good guy...I just can&#039;t see what you see with Dr. Lant, so I&#039;ll take you up on your offer one day.</description>
