Profit Miracle Review
Earlier this week I decided to do a Profit Miracle Review. The reason was simple, it’s been rather popular on clickbank but I still had difficulty finding a real review on the product. Sure, if you google “Profit Miracle Review” you will get hundreds of pages, but most of those so called reviews are nothing more then a rewrite of the sales letter from Profit Miracle, trying to get you to buy the product so that someone can collect the commission for the sale. I understand that, but I´m still always a bit surprised when I see people promoting a product when they have no idea if it’s good or not! So I’m doing this reveiw to make sure that there is at least one honest Profit Miracle review out there!
If you don’t want to read the full review here are the fundamentals:
Q: Is the Profit Miracle a scam?
A: No – It might not live up to the promises on the sales page but it’s not a scam
Q: What is the Profit Miracle all about?
A: Despite what the sales pages promises you, it’s NOT a simple click, set-and-forget system. Basically it’s a membership site where you have access to tools and information to help you do article marketing and if you want to succeed with it (yes, you can make a lot of money using this system) you have to do a lot of leg work. In my opinion however, there are other products and programs out there that do this so much better than the Profit Miracle.
Update 7th of september 2009
There used to be a lot more information here regarding Profit Miracle. I have decided to take most of it away after being bullied into doing so. I guess the people at Profit Miracle don’t like anyone posting a bad review on their product so I have been dealing with threats of international lawsuits and what not and to be on the safe side.. I decided to back of a bit.
I did not throw the review away, I keep it in a safe place along with all the comments (70) while I take a closer look at what rights I have in this matter.
So here are my final thoughts on Profit Miracle.
The Profit Miracle was updated a few days ago as more videos were added to the site. I have to say that the quality of content in those videos is far better than in the older ones. Some of the stuff on those is also very helpful for a newbie, especially the Clickbank video.
Unfortunatley I think that this product/program is still lacking some fundamental things like how to do keyword research and how to use keywords in articles, how to research niches and more.
Bottom line… 1 star out of 5 possible.
If a friend were to ask me if he should get Profit Miracle I would advice him to some other product where I feel he would get more value for his money.
ps. all of you that requested “The Gary Newbie Report” – it will be in your inbox soon.
They banned you??? lmao Jamie’s products have always been pretty good. I agree the ebook is useless, but thats cause you buy the product for the niches and stock articles. It’s all about the niches baby!
Hi,
I have been doing Internet Marketing for 16 years now, and Profit Miracle is by far the best product I have ever used.
So simple to create articles, and super handy!
I will recommend it to anyone.
Amir
I find that amazing Amir. Guess you don’t really mind the quality of content and articles. Personally I would never put my name to the articles it “produces”. They are badly written, make no sense, include no keywords so basically you need to do a total rewrite if you want them to produce real results. Of all the IM products I have tried and tested it’s right at the bottom of my list.
Yes, John, they banned me. Gues they don’t like it when people write honest (bad) reviews. As you say, the ebook does not help a newbie and the videos barely touch the surface. There is value in the niches and keywords however. The really sad part is that there is no teaching for the newbies how to use the keywords when they rewrite the articles. I think that if they would put a really good video on keyword research it would help the newbies a lot.
What I found most frustrating is the fact that the product is nothing close to what is promised on the sales page.
Did the coaching team call you John? Try to get you to spend 3-20.000 dollars on training and tools?
Your an affiliate of theirs and other programs (or were) haha so it’s not really honest…
Anyhow, It’s actually the newbies that will benefit from this product the best since it goes all the way. It’s good it encourages no cost, high return. That is good for newbies cause its zero risk. Newbies can use those videos which are super basic. I know everything in that ebook and videos so I dont need those. What I do need however is a timesaver. That’s why I use it to this day, I also use the other products that dude has. Everyone knows PM is for the niches. That’s how its marketed as well. If your advanced, go for the niches and campaigns + articles, headlines. At the very least, you get aquainted with the niche from the article. That’s something that Clickbank doesnt do, they dont go that far so you need third party programs like this, spyfu, you get me..
Cheers!
Yes sir a rep called me, I told him I didn’t need it. Again, it’s probably good for newbies but I have been doing this too long!
Well John, it is honest because I’m actually telling what I think of the product in general and in comparison to other products. I’m not writing these reviews to get the affiliate sales… they are a bonus. I do my real affiliate work on products not in the money making niche.
I don’t agree with you that the newbies will benefit from this product. The fact is, the ones that know how to article market will benefit. You only need 1 visit to the PM forum to see all the newbies posting there.. lost.. looking for the “formula” they were told they could copy. Looking for the “1,2,3 set and forget system” they are not finding. I think the problem with the videos is that they are to basic. I feel it’s more like telling you about how to do things rather then teaching or showing.
I find the discussions about Profit Miracle and Copy N Profit at WarriorForum.com very interesting. In my experience, the very good products don’t get mixed reviews and don’t get a lot of heated discussions on if they are good or not.
I guess we just have to agree to dissagree
Have you taken a look at 4-day money making blueprint? Only $29 and teaches you all about article marketing. Far more info and greater quality than many other programs.
I think you need to relax. It’s $77, not $500. It’s like you bought a pepsi and you are so mad that you didn’t buy a coke instead. Just refund the pepsi and buy a coke. Dont have a heart attack. “really good products” if designed for newbies get heated discussion. There is of course alot of “envy of the author” in this market, for obvious reasons. I saw your old review and it was a bit emotional. Perhaps if you understood that there is some amount of “leg work” that comes with marketing as there is breathing and heart beating that comes with eating. The alternative is stay “lost” and broke. I say take all those niches inside the members section and put them to work! Refresh the article maker until you get a good one, it’s quicker than hiring a writer from Guru, Ill tell you that!
I am totally relaxed John
I know all about the work in marketing as I have been doing it for more than a decade. Both online and offline. But you are right, my previous review was emotional. I get emotional when I feel someone is using dishonest methods to sell a product. You see.. there are so many phrases used on the sales page that aren’t true.
Here is an example:
“You do NOT need to put in ANY effort … not even lift a finger after activating it once”
Well this is not true. Even if you don’t rewrite the article from the article creator you will still need to work in the keywords. You will have to rewrite at least 1 version of it if you want to have it published at ezine articles.. which is the single most powerful article directory. You will have to submit many articles to many directories and keep doing so. No effort and only “activating it once” basically means you create one article, don’t put any keywords in it and then submit it.. well.. we both know that will not make you a lot of money if any.
Another example is:
“You do NOT need to wait for the activity and results to come … it starts instantly as you copy our results.”
Anyone that has done article marketing knows this not to be true. Article marketing is very powerful but it is also one of the slowest ways to see your effort and success. Just the fact that many of the best article directories will not publish your article for 1-6 weeks means that you do have to wait for results.
And another one:
“Activate the traffic creator/article submitter”
There is not magical machine in there. Just an article tool (not a very good one in my opinion) that you can use. You then do some work on the article, apply keywords and the submit it plenty of directories. It’s not very hard if you have the know-how but it takes some time to do. So again, there is NO 1,2,3 simple and easy, set-and-forget, automated system.
You say that “The alternative is stay “lost” and broke.” – Not true.. the alternative for total newbies is to get a much better money making program that will really teach them how to do things. You can do so for the same amount or less.
Well.. have to get to work.
Later folks
What do you expect? Do you REALLY expect a website to take your $77 and turn it into a cash machine that shoots money into your living room? You must have thought it was an investment scheme. Your an idiot.
John, there is no need to get offensive.
What do I expect? I’ll tell you.. I expect the program to deliver as promised. I expect to get exactly what is promised on the sales page. When I get something totally different I get unhappy and I’m willing to share this unhappiness with other potential customers that might think that what is being told on the sales page to be truthful.
When a website makes promises like those on the Profit Miracle Website… that if you pay the $77 then you will get a simple cash making machine that you “simply activate” – then yes.. a lot of people will believe that. I personally felt the sales page sounded “too good to be true”.. and guess what.. it was right.
If the product is really that good and fantastic.. why not simply explain on the sales page how and why and convince the customer to buy it using facts instead of using phrases that can not be called anything other than a lie or a great exaggeration? I think it’s unfair to the potential customers.
Cheers,
Tryggvi
Haha this thread is becoming amusing. Again, you need to relax. it’s a great program. The reason I passionately say so is look at the other programs out there! Sure when a program is $9 you say “Who cares, it’s only $9″ so why is this any different? Did that $9 program you boast have everything included with a program like PM or Mass Article Control, CopyNProfit or Maverick Money Makers? Hell no. There are hundreds if not thousands of 100 page ebooks with bold type selling for $97 all over the internet, then a product like PM comes out and you are whining over three phrases on the sales page? You need to make up your mind what you are upset about, the three phrases (your inaccurate interpretation of them) or the performance of the article creator. Your not going to gain my respect by whitewashing your review with statements like “This is bullshit!” and “there is nothing 1, 2 3 about it.” A few years ago Clickbank cleaned house, it was probably before your time, but nevertheless, they had data entry sites on their marketplace. These sites told newbies that if they signed up, they would have jobs doing data entry, making $20,000 a week. The newbies would sign up, then be told to open up an adwords account and enter ads into google!!! And you have a problem with PM? your a straight up dick. The owner of PM frequents Ewealth, you should check him out. He’s robin hood. Gives alot back and doesnt deserve your bs.
Hi Tryggvie,
I just want to thank you for your honest evaluation of a product I was considering buying. It seems that whenever someone is an affiliate of a product, they feel like they have to say good things about it in order to get you to buy it from their link. I have much more respect for someone that tells it like it is.
One thing I have found plenty of on the Internet so far is hyperbole. In fact the Email sales letter I got for this product was so hyped up that I had to come to the sales page and see what kind of price tag was on the product. I figured it had to be about a $1000 product that included coaching (after reading one of the testimonials-she said, “I feel comfortable because there’s a guiding hand to fall back on anytime.”)
After reading the Email and then the sales page I decided to do my due diligence and that is how I found your review amongst others. I have read all the responses to your review here and I don’t see you as having any kind of an axe to grind, just an good review. You have not even pointed someone to another product that you could make a better commission from.
I guess whenever I read about something that seems to good to be true and it is very inexpensive, I end up being disappointed. I have spent way too much money on too many products that are supposedly push button simple and none have been so far. Article spinners are never what they are hyped up to be either.
So once again thank you for your honest opinion and saving me $77. I am definitely going to bookmark your site and come back for some of the great free information I see you have on here.
Thanks,
Pete
Thanks for the tip off. I’ve been struggling with Online marketing for quite some time, and am currently looking for some good things to promote.
I might not be great at selling things to people, but I know promoting a real product goes a long way.
I felt the same way as you while I was reading through their sales page, it’s way to over hyped.
I’m considering starting a “make money from home” blog that will include both my own products, and affiliate products(the way most of them make their money), and while I haven’t made my mind up yet, I’m sure not going to sell this. Sounds like I could write, and set up a site just as good or better!
Heh, I guess I need to find me some shifty azz, mo-fo that could sell ice to eskimos. I can get traffic, I just can’t seem to sell stuff.
i would like to add my thanks for an honest review and your reasons why this product does not give what it claims to on the sales page. I too received it from an “internet marketing guru” (whom I am losing respect for almost daily..) claiming she was setting it up for her son to start making the incredible money it will produce. I have bought enough programs that claim to be push button and then give no back up support for those who cannot figuire it out on their own (me!). At least I have started to look for reviews now before I buy! So I really appreciate your honesty and am glad my intuition led me here. I have bookmarked your site.
Sincerely,
Donna
Good luck donna finding a “push button” that does not require you to use your brain.
I would just like to say many thanks for the information provided here, it has just helped me to understand alot more what is on offer here! This has saved me time and money and i respect that,so cheers!
Greg
I got the email too, lol. I am not a newbie and I’ve seen a lot of “push button” programs and lazy programs. Joined a few too way back when (dang I’m getting old). I was so stupid. So of course I said to myself, oh boy, let’s see what this one is promising now, and my interpretation of the promises are exactly the same as the review writer here, and probably the same as unsuspecting newbies looking for a way out debt. Thankfully, there is someone here who is honest enough to say look, you have to do more than just push buttons.
For anyone that is new to trying to make extra money to feed your families, you are doing the right thing by checking products or home businesses out first. Don’t get me wrong, with any product or program that is REALLY GOOD, you will see a few people that might poo poo on it with a bad review for various “personal” reasons: because maybe they did not follow through with doing what the product said to do, or like 99 percent of people, just bought the thing and did NOT work at their businesses as if they were going to a job, etc.
I find that people are getting really desperate in making a sale nowadays and they will say and do anything to get it. Be careful, if a salesperson is that pushy, run. I talk to people everyday that CALL ME (I do not call them) about working at home, and I never “sell” to them. The reason is because I do not know if what I have will be right for them, after all, I was sold something a long time ago that was WAY over my head and I got ripped off for $3147. They could have given me the real scoop and told me that there was a whole lot more than “find it, flip it, and get cash”. There was a whole lot of learning, and math which I suck at. That is why I only get to know people who call me, tell them of my experiences (good and bad) and all the bumps in the road, and I really want to see what they need help with most of all. I may not make “a million bucks in one week”, but I sure do make a lot of people happy with some ideas and I have made an awful lot of friends. And yes, in the end, it builds trust even with people who may not buy from me or join my opportunity.
1. Yes, do your research, just keep in mind that in some cases where the product is excellent, there might be a couple of poo pooers that just did not work with the product or company (those people make me mad).
2. You have the right to say “no” to a pushy salesman, or opt out of emails.
3. Remember, there is NO SUCH THING as get rich overnight, making money by doing nothing, or pushing a button and getting rich. There are always things that you will have to learn to do and you have to take action everyday with your business. It takes a good 6 months to 3 years of honest hard work in order to see if a business is all that. If you buy a “how to” product, for God’s sake, read it, learn it, and implement what it taught you everyday in your marketing.
4. If you are marketing, I have found that the best way to make sales is to “help” people, not sell them. Yes, it’s true! Would you rather buy a product from an old friend who is using it and could possibly help you with it or some stranger who is pushing you to buy it?
Sorry for such a long post, put hopefully it will help people on both sides of the coin. I hate to see people get hurt: the newbies that buy in to hype, and those people who really do have a good product but are not quite sure how to really sell.
Thanks ya’ll for listening!

Look, I’ll admit that the product is nothing especially new or special. But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work either.
Yes of course there are bold claims on the salespage – it happens; I mean it is another $77 Clickbank product after all…
But what may be somewhat useless for one guy, may be totally useful for the next guy. Also, if you truly have been around in IM for 16 years, then why would you need Profit Miracle anyway? Not saying that I don’t buy an occasional product every now and then, but if you know a lot about article writing, then you shouldn’t need it right? Why even waste the time?
I’m simply asking, not flaming or anything lame like that.
Guru, he is another one of these affiliate review sites that publish the review for the purpose of earning commissions. Sure the “bad review” thing works for a certain amount of time, you gain everyone’s trust and get thank yous (before they even try it for themselves) but then the copyright and trademark lawsuits come. Then Clickbank closes your account down. Then Google knocks your phony review site down. Before this review went up he had been promoting another ebook and now he’s getting sued by the guys who own profitMiracle for unfair competition. Funny how the world works.
Wow… it’s amazing how many are trying to discredit me just because I don’t like the Profit Miracle. First of all, Clickbank has not closed my account and I have not heard anything from them as I have done nothing wrong. Secondly, Google has not knocked my site down. I did recievie a 2 week google slap but it had nothing to do with my Profit Miracle review and if you have been in affiliate marketing for some time then you probably know that every affililate site receives one
I have no idea what ebook you are talking about that you claim I had been promoting as nothing has been removed from this review site except the previous Profit Miracle Review. Just to be very clear.. I don’t have any material of my own that is being sold by me or others. I have only promoted other people’s products that I have tested and liked. And yes, the guys who own Profit Miracle did threat with lawsuits so I decided to do the smart thing and pull the review while researching my rights.. guess what.. it looks as if I will be posting my previous review almost intact soon, as it turns out it’s not illegal to review a product, even if you think it’s a bad one.
Of course it’s not illegal to review a product. That is unless you are competitor like yourself who uses their trademark. That’s a definite no no and with a simple legal injunction and subpoena you can lose your domains and hosting. It’s probably made you some good money but as you said they have given you warnings and probably taken screenshots so I wouldn’t risk it, Doesn’t seem worth it.
Hi All,
Great reading, I am a “Newbie”, so how do I get my hands on “The Gary Newbie Report”.
I appreciate all the honesty in these comments too.
I also would like to know what better products ARE out there, without spending a fortune, that don’t have.
I am willing to put in the hard yards and with a very supportive Partner, I/we want to succeed with making an income from that net.
We are both in very minimum paying jobs and WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING.
Cheers, Cindy in OZ
The article creator kicks ass now.
Hey, i am about to buy the Profit Miracle (i am a newbie) Do you think it is a good investment for me to start??
Hey Tryggvi,
Looks like you opened a real “Can of Worms” on this one, eh?
Guess I’ll toss my 2 cents in here too, but only because I happen to BE A NEWBIE.
From where I’m sitting, when I’m trying to get info about a product or service that I’d like to promote, I not only look at the “Good” reviews, but the “Bad and Flaming” ones too.
It’s not that I need to see bad reviews out there to make an educated decision, but it kind of makes me “wonder and worry” a little if there’s nothing but “Glowing” comments available. Generally, I believe that the “Glowing Reviews” are just from somebody out to make an affiliate sale and not much more.
Sure, not everything out there is going to be loved by everyone, but conversely, if there are folks who’ve had the opportunity to use the product that I’m thinking of promoting, anything they provide along the lines of “ACTUAL EXPERIENCE” is more than helpful to me.
I had an idea, anyone who’d like to try this just go ahead and let me know how you make out.
I was tossing around the idea of a review site myself, but with a twist… everything reviewed on my site would be under certain headings, such as: “Yeah, keep/get this one”, then “If used properly it’s good”, then “There’s not a trash can big enough to hold this piece of crap”.
Unfortunately, I already know which section would fill up the fastest. I’m also pretty sure that I’d wind up getting some flack from the product producers, but you know what? I couldn’t care less.
If somebody touts their “Latest & Greatest” as the end-all for everything, then damnit, they had better deliver! There’s folks out there (Seasoned marketers and Newbies alike) who absolutely NEED information on a product to know if it happens to be worth their time and effort.
And that doesn’t even include the poor S.O.B.’s who are going to be parted from their hard earned cash for yet another “Pie-in-the-Sky” piece of… well, you know.
Were it not for sites that review available products (with BOTH good and BAD reviews) where would ANY of US be? I’ll tell you… spending all the profits from any sales we make to buy yet ANOTHER PRODUCT to promote, if only to be able to give an HONEST REVIEW of whatever it might be.
As someone relatively new to this, I frankly don’t have the resources to make that many purchases in the hopes of making an affiliate sale down the road, and I’m certainly not alone with this either.
I’d absolutely LOVE to be able to quit my 9-5 and dive into I.M. with both feet, but let’s be practical here. I’ve got bills and obligations just like the next guy and taking the plunge just isn’t in the picture quite yet.
And I almost forgot the MOST IMPORTANT part of this… as a newbie (seasoned gurus, take note) I’m not going to take my reputation and toss it into the trashcan by telling everybody who comes to my site that EVERYTHING I promote is a WINNER. Can anyone say, “Shoot yourself in the Foot”. You know it, I know it, and probably everybody else knows it too, if you promote good stuff, you’ll get a pretty good following. If you promote crap then you’ll get a HUGE following, but for all the wrong reasons. Wise marketing gets nice checks… stupid marketing gets_______ (you fill in the blank).
Anyway, that’s just my own 2 cents. Hope I didn’t bore anyone.
Think I’ll just sit back and see if “John” flames me too.
I purchased Profit Miracle on 10/6/09 to see if it could help me in my marketing efforts. First of all, I agree with other comments above that the articles are junk. There are paragraph headings with no content. There are paragraph headings with content that has nothing to do with the headings. I fully expected to have to revise the article, but it would be easier to write articles from scratch rather than rewrite those. Looking over the other material, there isn’t much that I haven’t already seen in a dozen other programs. “Also, as far as the niches are concerned, there are many better places to get niche ideas for a lot less money. Some come with blog themes and a number of posts. Three days after purchasing the Profit Miracle I requested a refund from Clickbank. In the past, the few times I have requested refunds, Clickbank has quickly authorized refunds. The author of the Profit Miracle has been dragging his feet and will not give a refund. I wonder if he is getting too many refund requests. I just might have to persue other alternatives.
Thanks for the honest review. I got the link from someone who was promoting their health product and she started sending these make $$$ emails to me and I thought..wait a minute how did you go from a health product to the 2nd email being a hey your check is in the mail email. It a breath of fresh air when you see someone give honest info. The old saying “if is sounds to go to be true…”
Thanks again and the best to everyone.
Please email me “The Gary Newbie Report”. It will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry I do it here but I did not know where else to go with my request.
Thank you
JS
Thank god i read the review!!!! I see that more people have given a bad review on this product then good reviewers on here. I dont have time for any program or product to be a pawn for my hard earned money! I only buy products that live by their names!!! I been ripped off many a times and now i go get reviews on any product that runs the risk of me losing money that i could have used on something that else that truly works. Review websites are very critical these days as crooks are running rampant world wide.
I wish I had read this review before I purchased the product. The article spinner does spin articles, but anybody with a 6th grade education will see the need for a rewrite with every article produced. Plus, the articles will need to be reproduced for every article submission to avoid the duplicate content penalty by Google.
After spending the afternoon with the product, I still can’t find the set-it-and-forget-it aspect of the program. I guess the author would have you believe that once an article is submitted it will become a lifelong string of income.
The videos couldn’t be more basic, as they barely scratch the surface of what a true newbie would need to take advantage of article marketing. Very disappointing. I’ll have to chalk this up to ‘lesson learned’, and move on to my next attempt to master article submissions, the weakest aspect of my portfolio.
Hi. I agree — I couldn’t find a single honest review of this product in a google search so I appreciate your efforts. I thinks it’s a sad shame though that people have to be afraid of giving their opinion because they might be sued. If you state a review as just that, an OPINION you are giving of your own experience, and stay away from any personal slander or the owners/creators/sellers of the product, I doubt very seriously if any lawsuit would hold up in court. Up with free speech is what I say. Go for it!
Ok, my first ever post about a product I’ve bought… The not-so-miraculous Profit Miracle. I’ve bought lots of over-hyped products in the past (slow learner, obviously) but decided that if this product only needed to deliver 10% of what it promises to be fantastic…
Sadly it doesn’t come close to that. Where it fails most badly is on the promises that it makes about automation. They couldn’t be further from the truth. Much work is required to make any of these campaigns hang together.
Then there’s the junk articles that it creates for you, every one of which requires considerable work to get to an acceptable level. The keywords identified are all highly competitive and the articles are not optimized for them. To cap it all, the advice on the videos recommends using ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com, yet affiliate links cannot even be used on ezinearticles.com.
I’m so p****d off at having wasted so much time with this (and with the so-called guru who recommended it to me, without whose comments I wouldn’t have believed it in the first place). Who can you actually trust in this game? Do yourself a favor and steer well clear.
thanks, for the reviews, i was on my way to purchasing Profit Miracle. i’m looking at a possible lay off at work soon and was looking for income ideas, looks like delivering pizza’s would generate more money. Profit Miracle more like it’s a miracle these guy’s are even still in business.
Its a good article spinner. Also, alot of great niche ideas.
This is the best review I’ve came across for Profits Miracle. I agree with you that most ‘honest review’ out there is not honest. The author write it out with commission in their mind, and some don’t even know the real content of that product. Still they can do the review, talking how good the product really is, which irritate me. Too much for blind review … but your review stand out from the crowd, thanks for your honest review, keep it up.
DON’T SEND MONEY TO THIS COMPANY! I signed up and when I realized I was not going to be using this program I applied for a refund within their 60 day limit. So far I have had my request answered by Lorie, Jay and Jamie. They all ask for the same information over and over. Then they told me to ask Paypal for the money. Of course Paypal doesn’t have the money, Profit Ripoff does and they are not parting with it. Paypal wants all my information about the problems I am having with Profit Ripoff and I am glad to give it to them and to warn others about this problem. So save yourself a lot of aggravation and don’t sign up.
Tryggvie, it’s a good thing you cleaned up your act here and I am glad to see it. You would have been in gross violation of the rules which I believe many people have warned you about. It also does not matter if you are in Iceland or wherever. Your ISP would be closed down and yes, you would be sued. Check out this from the Clickbank blog: The FTC requires all endorsements to disclose any “material connection” between the vendor and the advertiser. For example, if an affiliate runs a website offering an “independent review” of two products and gives a favorable review of one, they should disclose the fact that they are receiving a commission from the sale of that product. These rules also apply to third parties, such as bloggers, who receive a free product and are asked to do a review. Under the new FTC rules, not only should the blogger disclose he got the product for free but the vendor who gave him the product should make some effort to make sure that the blogger makes that disclosure.
I think I can help Sue out: Sue, to get a refund, you need to contact Clickbank. Clickbank is the retailer for ProfitMiracle.
Hello and to Sue #38: Sue, Upon reading your comment here and then questioning my staff, I was given your correspondence. It truly broke my heart. I am so sorry for your loss and I apologize for Jay giving you the runaround. I have instructed Lorie to contact Clickbank on your behalf. Also, if you would like access to our new webinar subscription, please let me know. Hope you feel better. Life is a journey. You will be alright. God by with you.
Jamie
Thank You so nuch i have been wondering about buying this and to
get what looks like an honest review is very refreshing. I will be checkin your site our more often.
Regards,

On Nov 24th I posted the comments about not buying this product. On the 27th I finally got an answer from Jamie and since then my money has been refunded.
I found the review and comments very revealing despite your being hobbled by threats of international legal action and I’ll be guided by the content. Thanks
Thanks for the honest product review. Jaime has always done a great job answering our questions in the forum. Sorry to hear about Sue’s experience.
Hey,
Thanks for your honest review on PM, i just purchased the copy the blueprint programme which is just PM dubbed down a notch. I found it informative being a newbie myself but I realy didnt learn anything ‘new’ that hasnt been covered or presented in previous products. It seems the steps are the same regardless of which programme you buy.
Pick a niche
Choose a product
buy a domain name related to your product
Create a squeeze page with an autoresponder to build a list
Add relevant keywords
Post articles in directories and forums with your affiliate link in the signature
Post blogs that contain your affiliate link
Find relevant groups on twitter and facebook
Post videos on youtube
Test your product with a 10 – 20 dollar a day Adwords account (some say go up to 500 – just to test the product to see if its profitable)
If you are at least breaking even – expand to yahoo and msn
How to create articles, blogs and even a website can be very easy. Key word research gets better with time and testing (you can see what keywords are profitable, delete the ones that are not)
It seems to be the content on the webpage itself that seperates the winners from the losers. Google loves content, and you need to make sure that the searcher is going to get what they are looking for. So your website will need several pages (3-4), showing features, benefits, savings etc. Also privacy, terms and contact info is highly regarded.
This process can litteraly be completed within 3 hours.
Constantly adding content to your site to improve the quality score is up to you. Aswell as testing and changing keywords and phrases. If you become profitable within a few weeks – u can outsource everything – get people to write your articles, squeeze pages, blogs – it can all be outsourced and it can all be replecated with different products/niche’s
This is at the point were your site becomes ‘automated’ or on pilot as you just need to monitor you campaign on a weekly/monthly basis
I beleive this will save any nebie buying any crap, mis leading e – book that will do nothing but show you the steps i have outlined.
You do not need profit miracle or any other jamie lewis programme out there. In fact dont buy anything thats less that $1000 or you will be just wasting your money. Thats my advice. All of Jamies Buddies like Michael Jones, James Jordan – don’t seem to even exist – they have to use an allias… hmmmmmmmmmm i wonder why….. All of this information is free if you search the net or check out the warrior forum for tips.
So Jamie if you read this – I hope you and all of your other internet guru buddies what ever their names are come to the realisation very quickly that misleading and scamming people into buying something that will give them no value goes against the heart of what IM is all about. You all need to take a leaf out of Frank Kern (who is a genuis and his products that he promotes are the best value for your money, and just the best on the net period.) Only when marketers give value to their customers is when customers get results, thats why Frank Kern gives away a lot of free stuff. Jamie have you ever in your life given away anything for free. In one whole year i have not seen anything worth of value that you have given any of your subscribers except an article maker that doesnt work, and products that dont even function properly during the training modules. Com on man – you know what you are doing, and to the guy defending Jamie – how long have you been an affiliate for him? How much does he pay you to go into forums and stand up for him? He doesnt have a leg to stand on.
Guys – dont buy PM or anything associated with Jamie Lewis or his buddies like Michael Jones – he has one of the top selling products on click bank atm (which sux too) and he doesnt exist – not what you call building repport. Any way the only two products that will benefit anyone – newbie advanced whatever are the commission blue print 2.0, and mass control 2.0
I repeat any ebook/course/programme out their under $1000, be very skepticle before purchasing.
In the last year i have wasted over 2,500 dollars on stupid ebooks and systems that promise the world but fail to deliver. If you follow and research the steps i outlined you can save a lot of money.
p.s – jamie lewis sux!!!!!!!!
p.s – jamie you can sue me for this review – go right ahead – bring it on bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!
kind regards
Matt B

Hey Matt…
U hit the nail on the head man….it all boils down to content (presell and a good sales page) and targeted traffic volume…it isn’t rocket science.
Making money as an affiliate is about the ‘drip’ effect. A lot of niche websites earning a few hundred dollars a month, makes a big pile at the end of the year. If you want to have a big ‘guru style’ cash hit, then develop your own product and get people hungry for it via the specialist forums (u know who they are). If the product is good and the specialist forums test has been good, then take it to ‘market’ and recruit affiliates via clickback or one of the other good affiliate websites.
Do this and u can be a guru too. Develop your mailing list and send a pile of spam emails everyday trying to sell your products and other ‘gurus’ products (earning affiliate commissions on every sale).
Good Luck!
Thanks for this review and comments allowed.
Definitely NOT BUYING – also found it too good to be true and this review topic just sealed my decision.
Set it and forget it? Really… Forget it!
Buyers need to really be alert when reading the salespage, reviews, and comments involved. Seek real feedback, not what you want to hear. From the more expanded reviews on what the Profit Miracle Article offers – I’m not convinced it is truly automated as it claims to be. If it is too good to be true – then it probably is!
A might lesson to product owners selling their stuff and affiliates promoting them: sell and promote trust and quality or be associated with Hype and Refunds and Unsubcribers!
The fact that all user testimonies – at present time of this posting – on the salespage are all from people who got free copies is second rate at best! This complies with FTC rules on disclosure, but is one main alarm for no real user feedback except the assistant Lance who may or may not be a real person.
Bottom line: Buyers are smart, not stupid! Product owners and promoters: Be true in your words and your products – and in this case – I’m keeping my money!

I found profit miracle not as great as I expected to be honest with you all… Their software to make the articles is just another spinner in the background spitting out spon articles that all eventually look and sound thesame, So much for unique
My verdict, don’t get it
#46 Matt-
First of all, I like the name MATT. Also, U R A GENIUS! I have never dealt w Frank Kern, but I hear nothing but good things about him on a membership site I am affiliated with. I am very glad I read this review. Just confirms what I have learned from the membership site. I am new to internet marketing, but I know value when I see it, and that is what the site I am affiliated with teaches; how to make yourself valuable. I guess I got lucky to find this membership site so early into my IM career. I can’t say enough about Chris Farrell’s Membership site. They teach you everything a newbie like me needs to know without ripping you off. They give you a FREE ebook that teaches you, click by click, how to make a website. They give you a FREE 26 video course on how to build your business. They give you FREE hosting, as long as you are a member of the site. They have a very lively, helpful, positive, encouraging discussion forum, that Chris Farrell himself often participates in. They charge u a whopping $4.95 to try his site out for 2 weeks, in which time they have taught u to build a website, hosted it, build your business around it, get FREE traffic to it, and not to mention gives u a squeeze page, thank you page, download page, rebrandable ebook that you can give away yourself, shows u how to use your auto responder, gives u a 60 week email campaign to go w it, and helps u every step of the way when/if u need it, and plenty more that I can’t think of off the top of my head. If u cancel, u keep everything but the hosting. Also, you can use everything u learned, and alot of the freebies, for any niche u want. I have never used Profit Miracles, but I doubt they come anywhere near holding a candle to Chris Farrell’s Membership site, and from what I hear, Frank Kern. But, that being said, we live in a capitalist country. I guess Jamie Lewis can charge whatever he wants for whatever he wants. Buyer beware. But, that being said, I have also seen the sales page, and I am currently, until I get off this review site, on his mailing list; and I find it hard to believe Jamie Lewis has not been sued himself. His sales page, and emails, in my opinion, are false advertising. Fortunately for him, my opinion doesn’t mean much. That’s for him, his customers, and the courts to decide. I wish everyone, except Jamie Lewis luck. Also, thankfully I found this review because I was looking into the Clickbank Code, by Michael Jones. I will not be affiliating myself w Jamie Lewis, Michael Jones, or anyone of the like.
Thank You-
Matt Z
I am disappointed to heard so many negative comments on the Profit Miracle
system. I have spent LOTS of money on other internet products and I feel
this is the best system for the money. No matter what system you buy there
will be some work involved!
Thanks for saving me $80. I will write my articles the old fashioned way.
You’re welcome!
Thanks for this review and comments allowed.

Thank you for the honest review. It is funny how people get so angry because you were honest. The sales page for the product is ridiculous … no work, push a button, and get rich … not likely. Just the picture of the wimpy dude in the sales page makes me want to crush the little bug …
Interesting comments; remember we are all unique, products are unique. We all respond to different things differently.
Remember, we’re talking about MARKETING!!!!
Case in point; Which one is better: AT&T or Verizon? They sure ‘talk’ like there is nobody better.
PS: personally I bought Profit Miracle and I would suggest to buy it, try it and if not satisfy just ask for your money back!
Sir, I would like to thank you and the other commentators for their opinions/experiences with “Profit Miracle”.
I was a click away from buying it for $33 (I always navigate away from a salespage to see if there’s a popup discount offer, if there is, I do it again just to see if there’s another popup “friends and family” discount offer…).
I already have “Mass Article Control/Creator/Submitter” and others, so that part of the “Profit Miracle” did not excite me.
I also ignored the “set & forget” part…never applies to article marketing since there is always tweaking needed.
What caught my eye was the alleged unique articles “Profit Miracle” would supposedly crank out with each click. The above reviews/comments reflect the resulting articles to be of extremely poor quality…hence my decision NOT to purchase “Profit Miracle”.
The Michael Jones comments also caught my eye…I recently purchased “The Cash Code” only to be severely disappointed – I already knew all the material. I bought the upsell (yeah, I was on an idiot roll..click..click) which turned out to be 1 year old PLR ebooks already exhausted on Clickbank. I snagged “The Affiliate Code” and “something else Code” as a freebie bonus (nope, I ain’t sharing the trick).
All in all, those Michael Jones’ “Code” products are not worth the money…now if he combined ALL of his “Code” products, prominently listed them as super newbie training material – not for intermediate/advanced users – and charged less than $47 for ALL “Code” products as a bundle, THEN it would be an outstanding bargain…for super newbies only.
I don’t understand the comments concerning individuals not really existing.
And yes, I’m now scouring my credit card receipts, Clickbank receipts, to see what I can still get refunds for (within 60days, no questions asked) and apply to something else.
Again, Thanks to all of you!

Hi William,
Thank you for the great comment. I totally agree with you on the Michael Jones’ code products. I find it sad that we have predators like these out there, praying on people that are in many, if not most cases, desperate to make a few extra bucks just to get through each month.
Regarding the refunds at Clickbank… that one is easy, you simply “forward” your Clickbnak receipt to this one: refunds [at] clickbank.com
I’ve done this a few times myself. I actually purchave every single product I review (I’m one of very few). And I just have one rule.. if the product(program) has some value than I’m happy to pay.. if it’s nothing more than hype or rehased old junk the I ask for the refund
In case you read this William… would you mind sharing with us what product you have bought that lived up to expectations?
Cheers,
Tryggvi
Well here we go again. After five years of so desperately wanting to get a business going on-line, I honestly thought this was it! Something I could actually do as I am a ‘techno-phobic’ when it comes to having to design pages or any of the tricky stuff. I was just about to use the credit card when my ‘better half’ (as she always does) finds the truth with these reviews. I was so excited and felt that surely to God I could do this one and finally make an income! I love writing and articles and this was the draw for me. Boom!…destroyed again. I just can’t afford this sort of money after reading the general theme above.
Can’t anybody really help a dumb/scared newbie to just to get to a level that they too can make something without being disappointing all the time? Or is this the nature of the beast in Internet marketing?
I am just about to give up once and for all cause…who can you trust?
