What You Get:

I really LIKE this site. I honestly can't believe all the stuff you get for the low monthly fee.

I'm not going to sit and list EVERYTHING, because I'd be here all the day long. So here are most of the vitals:

  • 500 MB Web hosting account. You can host up to 5 additional domains under the same account. They claim that the servers are "lightening fast." Each time I go to the site it loads pretty fast, so I can't dispute that. ;-)

  • Unlimited autoresponder accounts (w/unlimited follow-ups).

  • Online ad tracking service, to track the sales and signups and other statistics from your online ad campaigns.

  • A collection of e-marketing products/e-books that offer information on topics like designing your first business site (First Business Website in 10 Days, by Milana Leshinsky), growing your existing business (Ex: 33 Days to Online Profit, by Yanik Silver), and others.

    What's Great:

    I'm MOST impressed with the huge hosting account you get. That's worth MORE than $19.95/mo on its own. When I first contacted Kaviraj about reviewing this product on HarmonyMajor.com, I asked him how the heck he afforded -- literally -- to offer ALL this stuff for one low price.

    I wouldn't say I was skeptical of the offer, but I was definitely looking for the catch!

    There is none.

    Basically, this site gives you nearly everything you need to get started -- or continue -- making a living online.

    I think the best part of the site is the stuff that's NOT advertised in the sales letter. My favorite of those things are the website automation scripts.

    Amazing!

    These are scripts Kaviraj actually sells singly from his other domains. You get most if not all of them free with your membership to the Ultimate Marketing Center. Stuff like:


    • Clickbank Manager, that allows you to let your affiliates sell more than one of your products from just one Clickbank account. And you can let them link to any page you want, by setting the pages up in your admin area (up to 50).

    • Website Personalizer, that allows you to integrate subscriber names from your ezine advertising into your sales letter. (Cool!)

    • A membership manager script, so you can run your own password protected member's site.

    • An auto-install feature for the products w/resale rights. This is the NEATEST thing. Basically, you fill in a few fields about your server and FTP info, and this script automatically installs the books on your server so you're ready to sell. It even creates your order links and stuff for you.

    There are others.

    As for the other stuff that's not advertised in the sales letter, for one, Kavi created a "business start-up kit", in which he gives his members step by step instructions on setting up an automated Internet business, using the tools and resources you get in the membership site.

    He's also created a very nice-looking portal site for your use, that he'll even help you set up.


    What Needs Work:

    Organization. Both the sales letter AND the member's area appear a little willy-nilly.

    First, the sales copy doesn't really describe the contents of the site comprehensively. It only mentions about half of what you'd actually get when you join the site.

    As for the member's area, in my opinion, it's not designed or constructed for reading at length. The text spans too far across the pages, and it alternates from big to too small for comfortable reading, which is hard on the eyes after a short time.

    I think the text should be in a table with a fixed width, to make reader easier. It makes for difficult reading to scan across such a wide page.

    Logging in was confusing -- at least to me. I followed the "Member Login" link at the top of the sales site to the member's entry page. And I kept trying to log in using the form at the bottom ... because that's the only one I SAW, if you can believe it.

    The text fields at the top of the page (in blue) don't LOOK like form fields, so I kept overlooking them when I'd go to log in. Then I wondered why the heck my login info wasn't being found in the database. As it turns out, I'd been trying to log in through GloBill's system, instead of PaySystems's as I should've been. :-\

    This could be easily remedied by putting a BORDER around the text fields, bolding the text around them to draw attention to the fact that they're INPUT fields, arranging for the blinking cursor to appear in one of those fields when the page loads ... or all of the above.

    I can't be the only one who's overlooked that sign-in form!

    Next, the products you get resale rights to aren't all that hot, in my opinion. Out of 60+, there are a few good ones that you might want to resell. But I wouldn't go so far as to classify this collection of products as "hot selling."

    Actually, it looks like most of the products listed in the site to resell are taken from the Top40Tools package I reviewed not too long ago. (Most of the stuff in that package you can resell individually or in bulk, just by paying a one-off fee.)

    Even so, Kavi commits to adding two new products for resale each month, to expand on the collection. (And to be fair, there are also several products in this section of the site that AREN'T parts of packages like the one I mentioned above. There are a few I think you'd be pretty happy with, that you probably haven't seen before.)


    Closing Summary:

    All in all, I give this site a vehement thumbs-up. Though the disorganization of the site can dissuade sales, and frustrate you some as you're trying to find stuff in the member's area, the amount of great tools, scripts, and products you get inside make up for that many times over.

    It'd be great to run across a site like this (that offers resale rights to products as a part of the membership) that actually offered POPULAR products by more "known" marketers. But of course, if that were to happen, the site owner would incur a HUGE expense (for master licenses to those products) -- which would up the monthly cost of membership considerably!

    So again, it's the case of getting what you pay for. ;-) (Heck -- it's only $19.95 a month.) In contrast to how I feel about so many other products online, in this case ... I'm not at all disappointed.

    The flaws this product and site have are minor. Though they might take away from the site's ease of use, for the most part, they certainly don't detract from the value of the product.
