[T356]The Bucket List Review

by Brandi Yates, Bra

For those of you that dont know, Angies List is a website that grades contractors and other services. However, in order to see Angies List, you need to be a member. Members of Angies List pay around $7.50 per month.

So the big question is, is it worth seven fifty per month to read online reviews of local contractors and health providers? In my honest opinion I have to answer yes and no.

If a person already knows their service provider and they have no complaints, they should continue with the service provider and base their judgment on their personal experiences and not on written reviews of others. However, if a person is venturing into unknown territory, paying seven bucks to find a good service provider has the potential to save them a lot of money, not to mention a big hassle.

Personally, I am not going to hire someone to do a big job unless I have references. Getting references from the service provider is a worthless gesture because they are not going to give you the number of someone who they didnt do a good job for. You can ask around at work who the best service providers are, but most of the time you are going to be recommended to see someones uncle, cousin, or brother. By being a member of a website that offers unbiased criticism of service providers, you will have a better piece of mind when you hire someone for a big job.

Is that piece of mind worth seven dollars and fifty cents per month? I would have to answer yes to that question. When I hire someone for a service, I want them to do what they say they are going to do, and charge me pretty close to what the estimate was. I also want them to complete the task on time, and show up when they say they are going to be there.

The services that are reviewed on Angies List are graded from A to F. Because this is a scale that anyone who went to school is going to be familiar with, it makes it easy to judge whether or not the company under review is a good service provider. If one person out of twelve is unhappy with a service, that company receives an A. If ten out of twelve people are unhappy, the company receives an F and should be avoided.

Is being a member of Angies List a bulletproof guarantee that you will be happy when you hire a service provider with a good grade? No, it is not, but you chances of hiring a good service provider will improve dramatically. We believe so…especially if you are planning to spend a lot of money on remodeling, home repairs or a medical procedure. This is like using Consumer Reports before you make a purchase, but instead of reading reviews on the best plasma screen TVs or personal computers, you are reading real reviews of local businesses in your area.

I started my Internet Marketing adventure by joining WealthyAffiliate.com so that I could learn how to do Affiliate Marketing. I was incredibly satisfied with the service! You will see me earn $0 to a 3 digit amount this month using only 1 campaign and it's a campaign I made FOR FUN. Check out the blog link below.

When Kyle and Carson announced the released of Inside the List. I was skeptical at first because I didn't think that my niche site would generate some cash just by having a list. But I tried it anyway because I have read free guides on how to build a list and they were just plain crap. The basics are there but I already know them, what I needed was solid technique and skill, one that can rip out my revenue records in a month's time.

So I read Inside the List and there, what I found is extremely valuable information. Among other things, the strongest feature of Inside the List is that Kyle and Carson explain the why and the how of their techniques. They don't just show it to you step by step. Yes, there is actually solid theory behind the techniques they use.

Now why do you want to know that? So that you can apply their techniques in any niche regardless if you think it's a profitable one or not!!!

Using one of the techniques in Inside the List (adding value to consumers before anything else--the gist), I made 8 sales at $68 dollars each in ONE of my niches which is Golf related. Let me tell you that I never expected them to follow my recommendations and actually buy Golf clubs through my affiliate link! I posted some links for them to check out because I think those golf club prices were great deals. And the best part is, I just ran a test Adwords campaign that redirected to a squeeze page for one week and collected email addresses.

Why 1 week? Because I budgeted only $15 for this campaign and I maxed it out in 5 days with 140+ sign-ups.

Here are the numbers of my Inside the List experiment:

Sales: $544
Expenses: $15
Profit: $529

That's a 3427% return on investment!!!

Final thoughts

All in all my Inside the List experiment which brought about this Inside The List review was a great success. I'm sharing this with you because I'm extremely happy with the results and I'm going to apply this to my other niche site which is related to bodybuilding.

If you're making money already great... if you have a list.. great... Inside the List will help you get those sales up in no time. If you don't know how to build a list or what a list is then GREAT. You'll definitely benefit from reading this ebook

Don't make the same mistake I did, you might be losing on profits by not making a list and using effective techniques at that.
