When You’re Done Listening To The Podcast Please Review It
When you’re done listening please leave me an honest rating or review on iTunes – I really appreciate it and it helps to get more people to listen to the podcast. Currently each podcast episode receives well over 10,000 downloads and I’d love to get that up to 15,000+ downloads!
I would never consider buying this type of course, but since you recommend it, chances are very high that I purchase this.
Ultimately some people may not like the style of the marketing on the sales page, but I know the value of the content. As with anything I recommend you can always request a refund if it doesn’t fit you.
Really enjoyed this, i think i’ll be checking out his book too.
one thing tho, the link here to his course is flagged by web of trust as a scam site, it’s on some third party blacklist.
Odd – I’ll have to pass that on.
Chris, enjoyed the podcast. Thanks for sharing this, your blog and products. I invested in the course, sorta a no braining for the money. I’ve heard of Shoemoney, just haven’t had the opportunity to study his stuff, looking forward to it. Been working on Amazon affiliate sites for the past few months, anything I can learn and put into action is great.

Yah Jeremy’s already checked off several milestones that I’d like to hit some day soon (i.e. business exit for millions of dollars etc)
Chris,
Your podcasts are outstanding!! Can’t wait for the next one!
You are offering tremendous value and honesty to your listeners. I appreciate you. I have been on your list for some time now and you are one of the few Internet Marketers that really seems to care about their customers.
I have bought a number of the products that you suggested and found them to be excellent!
Thanks for all you share with us!

Hey Scott – thanks so much I appreciate that!
Does Google calculate search engine results ranking differently if it is a .com, .net, or .org name?
Can you put Amazon affiliate links and Adsense on the same site? Do you recommend that? Could that screw something up or get your Pagerank dinged by Google for having too many ads on your site?
Also, how hard is it to initially get approved for Amazon Associates? Can you just have a barebones site at first to get approved? If you get rejected do you get unlimited chances to keep reapplying? Thanks for any info Chris and thanks for the site.
