Profit Instruments Review & Bonus (I Just Bought This Product…Will it Help You, Too?)

18 Comments

Topics: Make Money Online, Marketing

I just spent a few hundred dollars on an information product. Now…you have to know how rare this is for me. I get “pitched” probably 100 times a month or more. The last time I spent over $100 on an information product…well, it’s been a while!

But today, I bought one. And for some of you, I think it might be the right decision, too. Hear me out, and you may be on your way to making money online, too:

The product first caught my eye because it’s a fairly straightforward way to make a significant amount of money online with small “niche” sites. It’s simple, really, and that’s the beauty of it. Each site he creates is a simple review site of a top-selling product. He teaches you how to get massive amounts of traffic for free by ranking for certain keywords. Then you set up a site, get traffic, and some number of people every month buy that product, making you completely passive income.

What’s awesome about this system:

  • Requires no technical experience (he walks you through every step)
  • Doesn’t require you to keep writing content every day
  • Doesn’t even require you to set up a mailing list!
  • Doesn’t require you to have a mailing list

Basically, even if you’re a beginner, you can make money with this system. And the system owner shows some nice proof…he’s making over $20,000 a month with this system. (I checked his traffic stats for myself, and he’s for real. First BS meter test passed.)

Of course, those big numbers are sales letter hype. He’s been running a “pre-launch” for a week, and I’ve watched all the videos, but I wanted to hold off on promoting it until I got my hands on it. I wanted to see for myself whether this was really possible.

I bought his product this afternoon and am already creating my first site. I found a product right under my nose that fits his criteria for promotion. It’s a product I already own and use. This made me excited…I didn’t want to have to promote scummy crap offers to make money.

I’ve already registered the domain name and set up the blog, and I’m looking forward to seeing how well I can rank and how many hundreds of dollars a month in passive income I will make with his system.

So, is it right for you? That depends. My policy is to be 100% honest, so here’s who I recommend this for:

  • If you’re ready to make passive income online and don’t have your own product, this is a good fit!
  • If you’ve set up a blog before, this is an excellent fit and I wouldn’t hesitate to put down the cash right now…you should be well on your way to making thousands of dollars a month within 30-60 days!
  • If you’re looking for a good way to make money without developing your own product, this is a good fit.

Who is it NOT for?

  • If you’re down to the last $200 in your bank account and need money tomorrow, do not buy this product. This product will take 30-60 days to return income. (Most affiliate programs take 30-60 days to pay out commissions.)
  • If you have your hands full with 100 other products or don’t have a few hours to really dig into this product, don’t buy it.

 I can tell you for sure, despite the hype-y sales letter:

  • I paid full price for the product and think it’s worth every penny
  • This is a legitimate technique that should work in ANY niche, not just promoting “make money online” products
  • He has proof it works in niches as diverse as health and fitness, finance, Farmville and Mafia Wars strategy guides, “how to” ebooks, digital cameras, tour guides, products on Amazon.com…pretty much anything you can think of!

If you know me, you know I do NOT promote B.S. I strive to test every product I promote. This passes my test with flying colors. I decline 99% of the products people ask me to promote. This product is in the other 1%. It’s worth it, and I feel strongly enough about it to stake my reputation on it.

It will work for you (or there’s a double your money back guarantee in case it doesn’t.)

Here’s my thinly-disguised affiliate link:

http://profitinstruments.com/812.html

I make a few dollars when you buy the product through this link. So, in order to thank you for ordering, here’s what I’d like to do for you:

Once you order, forward me your receipt (erica@erica.biz) and I will send you an invite to a free bonus online 1-hour workshop I’ll hold just for people who order through me.

In the workshop, I will reveal to you the website I’m creating as a part of this project. I’ll hold the workshop 30-60 days out so we can see together how much it’s earning and where it is in the search engines. And I’ll answer your questions about the sites you’re building through this product, and help you get them ranked higher in the search engines.

I will also reveal the names and oDesk links of the virtual assistants I’m using to create my site. This will save you hours of time and help your sites rank more quickly. That will be part of the workshop.

If you’re looking to start making money online, this is it. This is the only product in this niche I’ve recommended in months. Again, I’ve paid full price, gone through most of the product, and believe in it. Take action now, and I’ll be here to help you with my exclusive online workshop:

Order now or find out more information:

http://profitinstruments.com/812.html

Important note: This is a launch. This offer will close down in a day or two. DO NOT WAIT. I have waited in the past and regretted it. Don’t make the same mistake. If you’re ready to take a huge step toward earning passive income, and get my personal support and assistance on the workshop, go for it!

One caveat: Once I ordered, for some reason, I didn’t get the download link. If you have the same issue, please contact Ritoban’s helpdesk at http://customerhelp.in/. They responded to me pretty quickly and got everything straightened out, so please contact them directly.

Don’t forget to forward your receipt to me once you order!

Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you on the workshop in a month or so!

-Erica

P.S. Don’t pass this up. If you’re ready…go for it: http://profitinstruments.com/812.html

UPDATE: Wow, the response has been amazing! I sent this out to my email list last night and already nearly 40 people have signed up via my link! I really want you to succeed, so here’s what I’m going to do:

Assuming you buy through my link, I’ll hold not one, but two online workshops for you:

The first workshop, in 7-14 days, will be to walk you through the Profit Instruments method step by step and help you pick your niche. We’ll be going through the system, live, and I’ll answer your questions. (We’ll also record it in case you can’t make it.) In this webinar, I will reveal my own review site and show you what I’ve done so far with Profit Instruments.

The second workshop, in ~45 days, will help you make sure you’re getting the most traction in the search engines. I’ll go over some of my advanced SEO strategies so you can ensure you’re going to make money with this system.

I’m working this system to make money, and I encourage you to join me. I’ll be here to help you via these two workshops. Don’t hesitate…this launch will close down soon!

    Just tried to buy it, but it says they are sold out!

    • http://www.erica.biz/ Erica Douglass

      I see that. Hmm, weird. Ritoban did not announce a sellout, so it may be a bug. Hang tight…I’ve already emailed him and he’s pretty quick to respond.

      -Erica

    • http://www.erica.biz/ Erica Douglass

      I found out what happened. He made $340,000 in one day. But he ran it all through Paypal. Paypal has automated detection routines that shut your account down when you get a sudden huge influx of cash.

      So he’s setting up a shopping cart…put your email address in the field on the sold out page and he’ll send you a link when it’s back up. When you buy through the shopping cart, I will still get credit and you can still attend my workshops.

      This is his first big launch, so problems are inevitable, I suppose. I hope he can clear it up with Paypal quickly.

    Erica,

    I appreciate your tips and while I don’t always purchase products, I do trust the ones you blog about. However, in reading about Profit Instruments, it comes across as some sort of scam/too good to be true (though to be fair, “scam” is probably too harsh a word). The page you link to is very “sales pagey” and just seems to be very vague. I would prefer to have some more concrete evidence or examples or details of some type before making a fairly large purchase like that.

    In addition, just doing a quick google search on Profit Instruments reveals a ton of pages offering their “reviews” of the product – all of them littered with links to purchase it. I have also seen it mentioned that it is very similar to Google Sniper (albeit, more advanced and developed for real products). Google Sniper appears to have many of the samy type of “review” websites out there that are covered in links asking you to purchase the product. I understand that I might be able to make money using an affiliate marketing tactic like described in this tool – but why all the pages linking to it with “reviews”?

    Would you be able to leave a bit more detail about the tool or some concrete examples? I just struggle to see how it works and why I should make a purchase like this. I’ll be very interested in hearing more from you as I respect your opinion and trust your advice.

    Thank you,
    John

      Hi John,

      No surprise that there are many “review” sites, as the product teaches you how to find profitable products and set up review sites. And I’m sure that many people jumped on the bandwagon to review his product. I’ve looked at several of them, and as far as I can tell, I’m the only one who waited to actually buy the product at full price and review it before posting!

      I haven’t used Google Sniper. I avoid most “Internet marketing”, “make money online” products. But this one was recommended by someone I know who doesn’t promote much, so I trusted his recommendation, and I’m glad I did.

    Erica,

    The only reason I’m inclined to think about this product is because of yoru review. It looks like countless other products that are available and without you vouching for it, I would quickly move on. I just wish there was a way to have a little more information on it before purchasing.

    Would you be able to tell us how much you have made so far? Also, you state that we don’t need a product to use Profit Instruments – does that mean I can make money by promoting other products online and getting paid through these affiliate links? If so, what is a believable timeline for making any significant amount of money? All of this being said, what types of products or pages can/should you link to? Any concrete examples would be great.

    Thanks!

    • http://www.erica.biz/ Erica Douglass

      Hi John,

      Since this relies on search engine optimization, it will take 30-60 days to see results. Also, most affiliate programs take 30-60 days to pay out. That’s why I said don’t buy the product if you need money tomorrow.

      I just registered the domain name and set up the site last night. It should start ranking and making money within 30 days. My second webinar is scheduled for 45 days out so we can see how my site is doing at that point. This also gives me motivation to really kick butt and make my site work!

      In the product, he defines a formula for figuring out which products you should review. I have not seen this formula anywhere else. I ran it on about 15 products (takes 10 minutes or so to figure for each product) and found one I already own and use that fit the bill perfectly! I’m excited to see how many hundreds of dollars I can make per month.

    Hmm, sounds like you can get a lot of the same information from here:

    [link removed]

    The guy interviewed there is doing the same thing and pretty much outlines his strategy step by step.

    • http://www.erica.biz/ Erica Douglass

      Hi David,

      I removed your link because it’s an affiliate link. The product you mentioned gets great reviews, though I haven’t checked it out personally. That product was on my “short list” to check out and then I saw this product instead.

      This product focuses specifically on “review sites” as opposed to niche sites.

      Hi Erica,

      I wasn’t linking to any product, just the free podcast interview. Some of your savvier readers could listen to the podcast and be well on their way to doing what both of these guys do to make money, without paying anything.

    Erica,

    I went to try to buy the product and it was sold out.

    But it sent me to a video and PDF that explains the system quite well. At this point I don’t think I would need to buy the system to implement it!

    However, I do have concerns over the validity of the author’s claim. I went to the product site that he claims is his main source of money (hint: it’s a review site for a specific tea). This seemed legitimate, but the claim of the system is that you make money on referrals. In other words, I should make a site about a product, create referral links to a place the product is sold (i.e. Amazon), do some SEO, and sit back and make money in a basically honest way (i.e. I’m helping a customer get the product and Amazon and the manufacturer sell it – a middle man).

    However, when I clicked on his outgoing links for the product the page he made is about, they ALL go to an ad page for a completely unrelated product. So now it appears that his site is just link bait for crappy Internet advertising. If this is the case, then the whole system is suspect and any money he is actually making is probably gotten $200 at a time from people hoping to implement his system.

    What are your thoughts on this? I may try to implement it now and see what happens since the video and PDF were sufficiently detailed for someone with my skills to implement from, but at this point I would never give him my money.

    Thanks for the insightful read.
    Shall have to spend some time reading about affiliate marketing.
    Am pre boom [read altavista] internet user, I still can’t digest what the world wide web has transpired into.
    Call me incorrigible, but I truly believe that the person who understands the concept / knowhow owns it, [the basic thought behind free software].
    That apart $200 is a lot money back here in India, and the promised income of thousands of dollars per month might actually get me killed!

    I promise to revisit this opportunity in a month’s time [when I have the cash].

  • Naras

    I tried to buy the product and the website shows that it has been sold out. I read the other comments. Some issues on his site. Could you post/send me when the site is open for accepting new orders?
    thanks
    Naras.

    • http://www.erica.biz/ Erica Douglass

      Sure thing, Naras. Thanks for commenting!

    So…basically because this system pays $97 per referral, somehow it’s no longer valid?

    I have been out of the house most of the day, and my doctor is asking me to rest this afternoon. I don’t have a whole lot of time to type up replies to everything here. But I will say this. I spent four hours last night going through the material before I sent the email. I was up until 2AM working on my site, then got up at 8AM to help others who bought. I didn’t go into this wanting to make bucks from the affiliate promo. I went into this wanting to make money from the site that I created using his system.

    I have already started working his system, and I believe I will see results from it in 30-60 days. Not only that, but I’m willing to be a 100% open book here, and not only let you see my site that I’m using his system, but answer your questions and spend 2+ hours of my personal time helping you out so that you can be successful. There are very few marketers willing to do that.

    Now. There are two types of people in the world. 1) Those who take action and find something that works and make money online. 2) Those who whine and complain about how everything is a scam. Guess which group is more successful?

    I did not promote this because of the money attached. I worked my ass off to get where I am today and I don’t put my reputation on the line for shitty products. Now, you can believe whatever you want. But to make unsubstantiated claims about the veracity of his system and to call my integrity into question is far past the line.

    Robert, these offers change constantly. It probably was a tea offer, or something like it, when he started promoting it. But they’re always split testing, even what they sell. It is a CPA offer. The tea offer and the page linked to are not Ritoban’s responsibility.

    You’re willfully ignoring the 20+ other sites he shares in the videos and focusing on that one. What about the pregnancy site? etc. As I made clear in my post, you do not have to promote scummy offers for this system to work. I am not promoting scummy crap. I am promoting a product I already purchased, know, and use, that happened to fit his system, and I’m excited to see where this leads.

    -Erica

  • http://www.erica.biz/ Erica Douglass

    Hi Ben,

    I’ll reply to your email, too, but this is what I’ll say:

    1) You bought the system. Awesome! You don’t need to buy the upsell to make it work. If you bought the upsell and genuinely cannot afford it, please contact their support desk and ask for a refund for the upsell part.

    2) Put it into use! Get your new review site up and running. Follow his system. If you have questions, ask them. That’s why I’m doing these open webinars…so you can ask questions and so you have the best chance of success.

    This is not a scam. I do not promote scams. You do not have to promote CPA offers selling tea if you don’t want to. (I don’t plan to.) Use his formula and find something that works.

    If you put as much energy into creating your site with his system as you do writing these comments, you will be far ahead of the game.

    -Erica

  • http://www.erica.biz/ Erica Douglass

    Thanks, Pat. :)

    Robert, some of your numbers are skewed. That program pays $40 per trial offer. So, at $14,000/month, he needs 350 people to sign up every month. Looking at his traffic stats, he says he gets about 20,000 visitors a month. I think his numbers are accurate, based on his Alexa rank.

    I honestly didn’t expect to make a whole lot of money promoting this. I ran a post about oDesk a few weeks ago and it generated $350 in commissions. I figured this might do something similar, minus my $200 spent, so $150. Not a whole lot of money.

    Well, it exploded overnight and 40 people signed up. That’s exciting, and I plan to do another workshop because of the volume of people who signed up, and really help my customers see a return on their investment.

    The site that I’m creating is for a product that pays $33 on every $97 sale, and that I already purchased and own. I think that has a chance to be lucrative. If not, the beauty of this system is that you can just create another site.
