PPC Classroom 2.0
Posted by admin in PPC Marketing on February 25th, 2009
Yesterday, I signed up for PPC Classroom 2.0 . I was ready to signup the minute the “doors opened”. Exactly at noon eastern, I waited for the email that would contain the link for the sign up. 5 minutes passed and I went directly tot eh site. I was redirected to the pre-sale page.
After several refreshses of the PPC Classroom 2.0 site, it was there. I immediately signed up with no problems. I haven’t had time to do a full review, but since there’s a lot of buzz surrounding PPC Classroom 2.0 , I thought it best to get something objective out for you.
What’s In PPC Classroom 2.0
PPC Classroom 2.0 is free as long as you pay shipping and handling of $6.97 for US residents or $9.97 for international deliveries. This payment covers the shipping of a DVD shipped to your door, online access to the materials, and a many bonuses.
If it is free – then they must be making money. It is from all the upsells, which makes sense.
When you enter your shipping and credit card number for PPC Classroom 2.0 the first upsell is for the “Niche Detective Club”, which is free for 30 days and $19.95/month after.
The second upsell is called a negative billing option. When you pay the DVD shipping and handling costs of $6.97/$9.97 you also agree to pay $97/month starting 30 days from the order date. This payment is for full access to the Membership area “PPC Inner Circle”. In other words, the first month’s access to the “PPC Inner Circle” is free, at which point you either need to cancel the membership or pay $97/month to continue. Either way, you only pay the initial small fee for lifetime access to PPC Classroom. If you choose to cancle the PPC Inner Circle membership your access to PPC Classroom is still available.
I am not fan of negative billing or upselling, although I do understand that upselling is necessary to make money. They promise to make cancelling the PPC Inner Circle membership easy…. here’s the cancellation policy:
| Cancellation Policy: By purchasing this DVD you are agreeing to join the PPC Inner Circle which will start after 1 month of your purchase. You will not be billed for the PPC Inner Circle at the current moment, you have a full 1 month to try PPC Classroom and decide if you would like to remain a member. If you decide to stay, you will automatically be charged a nominal $97/month. You may cancel at any time. If you cancel before the first month is over, you will never receive any billings. There is no commitment or obligation. There is no cancellation fee of any sort. We are here to help you and if you do not feel that we are providing value, we do not feel we have earned your money!How To Cancel: Canceling is very easy and hassle-free. You will never get harassed to stay a member by any of our staff members. You can cancel right on the system with the click of a link. Our goal is to make this the best resource for you, we’re not here to trick anyone. You can try our PPC Inner Circle with no concerns, doubts or risks. |
In this ecomony I don’t classify a $97/month as “nominal” (especially if you add on any of the upsell offers you chose). However, I have worked with Affiliate Classroom, and have a mutual associate who knows the people behind PPC Classroom. From my perspective I’m confident they will respect this policy.
NOTE: you have to pay with a credit card, or PayPal Debit Card – PayPal is not an option.
As I go through the site, I will post my findings.
Starting a Business
This economy has everyone watching their income. Many have turned to the internet to earn a residual income. Why Not? It’s a media source that reaches the world for very little investment.
To begin, I will offer e-courses in two areas – those with a product to sell and those without. I will show where you can get started selling other peoples products, or how you can find and develop your own.
I will also show you step-by-step how to setup a template, install helpful scripts and promote your site with little money outlay. The idea is to teach you how to build a successful business.
My tutorials will be informal and based on the assumption you are new to the affiliate, online marketing and business building arenas. Recommendations of sources will be from areas I have personally used and approve. You are under no obligation to use any of these suggestions.
Feel free at any time to ask questions.
Thank you,
Suzanne
How to Start a Christian Home Based Business
Welcome to OneWay Advertising’s Business Blog. We will take you through the frustrations of attempting to get your business online, using web templates, SEO, and much more.
I have over 25 years advertising and graphic design experience. When I started on the web in 1996, I made a lot of mistakes. I learned quickly. With this new knowledge, I was able to help my clients move to the internet. I also realized I will never know everything about the internet – nor would I claim to. No one person could know it all. And beware of anyone who claims to do so.
I want to address questions all of my clients expressed when we expanded their marketing and advertising to the web. It was a low cost advertising forum. They learned quickly that a website presence does not equate to sales and traffic. it takes a lot of work and dedication to do it right. I showed how to start their marketing on a shoestring budget, increasing their online marketing when their budgets allowed.
Now, I want to share this same Ground Zero knowledge with you.
If you have questions or frustrations, please let me know
God Bless,
