Glass and jewelry artist. Had a VERY successful busines on the road - full time for 7+ years - teaching and selling
Made a change to internet marketing 4 years ago. Hard work and struggle until finding Kiosk and Hot Conference; the best training, the best support, the best resources anywhere on the internet.
I learned more in one month with Kiosk and Hot Conference training and support than all of the years I struggled on my own... building web sites, learning html, ftp, css, blogging, selling on ebay, php, traffic exchanges, working together as a community to help one another to build our respective businesses. |

If you are into scrapbooking or pets and you knew absolutely nothing about building a web site, I suppose this might be useful.
There are 5 banners that are pretty standard. Rather ho hum. |

It might be a good product. Can't tell because there is no content.
The only links that work in the ebook are the ones to the authors selling site.
I clicked on the link to download templates and was directed to enter my name and email address. No templates have been received over 30 hours later.
I will revisit this review - if the author responds to my querry about the contents.
Wonder who gave this product a 5 star rating. I sure wouldn't = at this moment. |

Yes, this little ebook is useful.
Too bad the author did not follow his advice.
The information was soooooooooo crammed in it was challenging to stay focused.
His software might be really good. The ebook is not a good indicator though.
If I were writing the ebook, I'd lay it out more like a web page especially since that is what he is writing about.
In short.. info is useful. Layout - which relates to readability - is terrible. |

| Review Title: ftp made simple |
| Date Reviewed: January 28, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Karen Stavert |
Simple is right... it's only about 4 pages "long". It has a bunch of links to other software that you can download and use... some is freeware. Others, paid.
Not worth the effort. |

| It is necessary to understand all about ftp and how to perform it in order to understand how to use this program. Not for the NEWBIE. |

It is fast. It is simple.... and, you end up with a url that looks at least as ugly as the affiliate link you are trying to mask.
The only benefit is that no one can hijack your link... but, most people won't click on this link anyway.
There are better tools if you are trying to build a business. |

Yes, the software is simple to use.
And, the resulting url still LOOKS like an affiliate link.
If I'm going to go through the effort of masking my affiliate link, I'd like it to look professional and clean. This does not look either.
Simplicity of use probably makes this a reasonably good program.
The fact that people cannot snatch your affiliate info is good. And, there are other programs that look more professional and neat. |

| Product Reviewed: Smart Links V2.0 |
| By: Ron Howell |
| Category: Software - Silver & Gold Members |
| Review Title: affiliate protection |
| Date Reviewed: January 30, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Karen Stavert |
I read the only other review and decided to download the software based on it...
The instructions began with "make sure the path to perl is set correct
in the first lines of admin.cgi,io.pl,tracker.cgi, and
variables.pl"
If you do not know what any of that means, it seems to go downhill from there.
This is NOT for the beginner. Not even for the intermediate (I think).
You have to really know your way around the inner workings of your computer to be able to set this up using the installation directions that come with the program.
I have another program that comes with video install instructions - that do not require you to know everything about your computer's inner workings BEFORE you can install this program.
Newbies, move on or make sure you have great support. |

| Review Title: Magic EMail |
| Date Reviewed: November 11, 2007 |
this is a little, very constrained "form filler". When you've entered all of your info, "voila", you are presented with the finished product - I guess that's the magic part. It looks like a letter sitting in an opened envelop. Not very imaginative or attractive.
It looks as if you can upgrade to get some more templates. I guess, if you are brand new to sending email and want something other than a blank screen, it might be OK. No... not even then. don't waste your time |
