Profit Lance: What’s Inside Part I
A Profit Lance Review
[Click here for an updated review on Profit Lance – January 2008]
I should begin by stating that the Profit Lance program is not a scam. Despite what I wrote in my previous post regarding the content of the Profit Lance website, the product itself is quite impressive. I know that the website for the product makes it look suspicious the only explanation that would make sense is that the product owner, Mike Andrews, probably went to a marketer to help him pitch his product and the end result was a website that looks like the Ultimate Wealth Package.
Whether you are visiting this post either through a Google or similar search or through a recent discussion on various forums you might know that many people who have purchased the product agree that the Profit Lance website makes the product look suspicious and were hesitant to purchase the program. However, after spending several days examining different aspects of the product I have came to the conclusion that its actually quite a comprehensive and informative program.
For starters, before being able to purchase the program through Clickbank you’ll need to first fill out a reservation form.
You will not be able to use the program without first creating a reservation. It doesn’t matter what you enter for your name and email address as long as its done before buying the program. The form is more for them to keep track of how many people are reserving and actually buying the program than it is to get your personal information and email address. I initially thought that this was part of the scheme but after testing it myself and hearing from others who tried to purchase without first creating a reservation, I have seen that they do in fact keep track of who registers. In fact, the name you use to create a reservation is the same name that will be used for logging in to the program regardless of the name you use to purchase through clickbank.
My Profit Lance Review: The Inside
Once you purchase the program you will automatically be given your username and password and from there you will be taken to your logon screen. You’ll see the Welcome page once you log on to the program. Here is a screenshot of the inside of the program (Click on the screenshot for a larger image):
Just looking at the Hompage/Welcome Message screen you could see how overwhelming the program is. Based on the information in the program and playing around with it over the course of the week, I could tell you that there is a wealth of information here. If you are a beginner to making money online and you dont know much about anything; Adsense, Blogging, Clickbank affiliate commissions, Traffic, Advertising and more, then you will definitely benefit from this program.
Here is a breakdown of what to expect after logging on to the program:
- The Home screen welcomes you, gives you an introduction to the program and guides you on to the next step.
On this page he states that the purpose of his program is to do the following:- Understand
- Acquire skills
- Practically implement techniques
“A lot of focus is given to practical implementation.â€
The next step is the ‘Getting started’ section where he outlines the format and structure of the member/private area. He displays this screenshot showing you how the program is laid out:
- Getting Started:
- Breakdown of the layout of the program – very helpful
- Top bar contains resources and tips for training purposes and tabs for managing your tasks and projects
- Sidebar lists:
- Various ways for making money online with background information of the different money making strategies and programs and guidance to using these techniques.
- Money Making websites – which I will get to later.
- Video tutorials
- Essential Steps – after visiting the getting started section you are led to the next part of the program called ‘Essential Steps’. This part of the program shows you the initial steps to making money online:
- Create you Clickbank account
- Create your Blogger account
- Ezintearticles.com and GoArticles.com accounts
- And more
Once you have completed these steps you then add all the above account information to your Profit Lance account page. Your Profit Lance account page will be used later when you start marketing your own products and websites or if you decide to first gain experience by marketing the already built websites that come with the program.
In my next post I will discuss in more detail the various specifics of the program such as the making money components, projects, websites, and other resources the program provides.
One important thing that people need to understand about this program: This is not a get rich quick, make millions of dollars from your home in a month type program. This program is designed to train you with what’s involved in making money online and the practical steps needed to make money online. It may take months until you generate any real cash. It is extremely comprehensive and while most of the information could be found online for free it would take quite a while and a lot of work to research this information on your own. If you want this program to work you will have to put in the time and effort.

About The Author
Just curious, what are you doing with this Course? Are you promoting something else? If so what? The First time I logged on, and started reading the Course, I was amazed at how well orginized and was not at all overwhelmed with it at all. Step by Step, I began to train and use what I learned. I never got lost, nor did I feel overwhelmed. I have even started over several times to GET refreshed. I am so busy in LIFE that I at times hvae to start over and everytime, I learn something at a more deeper level. I think that most people out there become lazy and want smeone else to do the FOOT work for them and do want to invest in the training to do what it takes for long term results. We as a society have become MICROWAVED and drivethu with our brains… I Love Mike Andrews Course. I have STOPPED all my other searches and am on a LONG term path.
I Broke a Record with Google Adsense Today! YES
I’m only 150$ away from my goal this month and I really think I’m going to make it.
I’m doing the best I have ever done with this internet business. It’s Really good.
Two months ago I was only making max $700 now I’m triple that. I cant imagine next month.(Actually I Can) I’m almost the entrepreneur I want to be.
(completely 100% independent)
Profitlance Rocks!
I made my goal and even made a couple hundered passed it.
I’m back! Just checking in again and to do some bragging.
I’m doing real well now, I have been posting all my review sites that I got in the members area, everywhere all over the net with just about any niche I want and They Work! I can’t believe the whole review idea behind selling products works. It’s just unbelievable.
I haven’t been doing much with Adsense lately but I’m still making money without doing anything with the sites that I have already set up.
Anyways, I’m up to $6,754 this month I was really hoping I would make it to $8,000 I still might but I don’t know.
Well, I’m back again to announce to everyone how well I have been doing.
With my earning’s for this month I won’t post them because in previous post I got a response form people suggesting that I was not telling the truth.
But what I will say is ” I earned a few hundred dollars shy of what I earned last month” all most double.
I’m having a hard time believing it myself, but as Michael Andrews stated at the beginning of the Profit Lance course “The Sky Really Is The Limit”.
I think I will continue to grow my ventures and my earnings for the next couple of months and then really begin think about where I want to take this thing (business).
I must also say to other members of the Profit Lance course that it’s not the review site that I own or me promoting Profitlance as an affiliate that is earning me what I am making but rather many different products and niches that I research and study everyday.
I haven’t had anytime to go back and update my Profitlance review because the many other websites that I own currently require my attention the most of the time.
I’ll end this by saying that I Paul Archer just a regular person that used to build concrete foundations, repair bridges and build homes successfully paved my future in gold with determination,the right guidance and all the knowledge I needed to make it happened from one simple little website called the ProfitLance Course.
To the webmaster & owner of Rommo.net, you are doing a wonderful job with your website and I enjoy every bit of it, thank you so much Ari.
Hi Paul,
Ari said it would be ok if I posted here.
I have been building businesses (offline and Online) for close to 20 years. I have been quite succesfull.
I recently began working on a Direct Marketing project, and I wanted to take a different approach, as opposed to the annoying conventional one.
I was doing some research and I came across a site called The Renegade Marketer . Right off the bat I thought this is probably a scam (I am a skeptic like Ari). Anyway after reading it through, I decided to buy the book (I figured ‘even if it end up being a scam I can handle loosing $67).
I read the 143 page book within 1 day. There was no subtlety no BS. Just straight useful information. Though I was looking at it from a Network Marketing aspect, it can be applied to any business.
The Author Ann Sieg, came up with a great approach – Give Free + Sell valuable educational information to help people build their business, and they will keep coming back for more, and eventually if you do sell them a product of some sort they do so because you have EARNED their trust.
She even created an impressive 2 tiered affiliate system (which is included in the book purchase) that lets you keep all the information of the leads that you generate from marketing her book.
If you are doing well with your business already, I think that her book and affiliate system will take you even further.
If you are skeptical (as any smart business person is) there is a sign up on the site for a free ebook called The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing
Anyway let me know what happens. I would be interested in your feedback.
All the best,
Rob
I think Mike is turning profit lance into a monthly membership site. Does anyone know anything about this?
I will like to know if the Profit Lance is suitable for a Amateur to Internet Marketing?
Hi Emiili,
Profit Lance is designed for beginners to learn the basics and foundations of internet marketing. Take a look at it and if you decide its not for you then request a refund through Clickbank.
I’d definitely recommend this for beginners!
Hi Ari,
Um, I just kind of stumbled across your site and I must say thank you for being so straight forward about the Profit Lance System. It’s refreshing for a change. I’ve read so many reviews in researching genuine forms of generating an online income, and most of them were just smoke and mirrors…marketing techniques designed to excite a person and make them feel rushed, even panicked about missing out on “The Golden Opportunity” only to feel disappointed and possibly betrayed by the results. It’s wearying.
Anyhow, I was wondering if you could answer one burning question that I still have about Profit Lance? According to other reviews that I’ve read about the system it could be considered misleading. Most of the promotional sites claim that after the initial investment for purchasing Profit Lance there are no other upfront costs. But from what I’ve gathered about PPC advertising (Pay-Per Click advertising: for anyone who, like me, might not know all the acronyms used in affiliate marketing) is that it can cost a good amount of money to utilize. One site even said that PPC advertising could easily run a person anywhere between $50-$150/day per site. Is this accurate?
I don’t know about most people that look for online incomes, but personally I’m looking because I’m broke, I’m at a dead end job, and I would give anything to actually be working my ass off for more than just to make ends meet. I’m not looking to get rich quick. I’m just hoping that somewhere I’ll find a solution on how to actually live, not just survive in this world.
What I mean is, is this just another system where you have to have money in order to make money? A long term investment doesn’t bother me. Dedicating my time and energy in order to really succeed I can do hands down. But I just need to know that I won’t be throwing away my last $77 just to find out that I can’t take it any further than the learning aspect of things without having an additional $100-$500 to spend.
I’d appreciate your honest input. I liked how you handled Profit Lance Paul’s comments. It was really the deciding factor in my determining your character. I just have a hard time trusting review sites anymore because a good portion are just like you said…people who are just trying to promote a product with false or unsubstantiated claims. Thank you for your time.
Ari,
Just another guick question/comment…as if I haven’t already taken up enough space on your page. LOL. In my seemingly never-ending search for a valid WAH (Work-At-Home) opportunity I stumbled accross a site called reviewopedia.com, and like your site it gives honest and more in depth explanations of different online ventures. I would just like to know if you’re familiar with this site, and if so what your opinion of it is?
I was impressed with it at first. Reviewopedia.com provided information about data entry programs and the like that I hadn’t known before. I was so impressed in fact, that when the site recommended an opportunity called Project Pay-Day that I jumped right in.
Once again, I felt let down. Project Pay-Day boils down to nothing more than getting paid by other people to sign up for free trial offers online so that they can collect rewards for reffering you. Of course, it works the other way around too…YOU can offer to pay people to complete the online trial offers in order to reap the rewards. The only offset…once again you have to have money in order to make money.
For the majority of the free trial offers that you sign up for you’re agreeing to a monthly subscription, or they want you to pay shipping and handling for something that you don’t really want or need, and in the end the $10 or so pay-out recieved is hardly worth all the hassle you just went through. It’s really just as pointless as filling out online surveys.
I just wanted to give your readers a heads up to be careful of the review sites they trust. Don’t just stop at a second opinion. Follow your searches through and get reliable third and fourth opinions too…your hard-earned money is worth it.
Hi Katie,
Its interesting i have recent comments on profit lance spread among three different posts. You should read some of them as they are quite recent. You could read a couple here: http://www.rommo.net/profit-lance-updated-review-january-2008/#comments. You might have to scroll down to read the comments.
So to answer your question, you will need to spend good money if you want to make money using the profit lance system. Profit lance gives you the background to making money online. It shows you whats involved and what you will need to do. If you read my profit lance post for jan 2008 it should give you a straight answer how the system works.
So let me tell you here whats involved. You go to Clickbank and find a product that you want to promote. Clickbank is where your money will be coming from. Now once you find a product worth promoting as described in the profit lance program you will need to review it and promote it. This is the part that requires a lot of time and work. The preferred method of promoted your reviews is to create a website for every product you reviewed with your affiliate link. This website is called a landing page. Now for people to see your site you need to do a few things you could either create a site like reviewopedia which requires a lot of time and some serious web design and search engine optimization or you could buy ads on Google for the keywords related to the product you are reviewing. So for example if you are reviewing profit lance you would need to create a google ad and compete for keywords that would make your site appear on the side of google searches. So for profit lance you would bid for the keywords “profit lance review” and pay something around fifty cents per click. This is where things could get expensive. Getting around 100 clicks on your ad a month would cost you $50 in advertising fees. I have been playing around with google adwords and have lost some money advertising various things that have yet to lead to sales. So it is a lot of work.
The problem with the whole clickbank affiliate thing is that you need to find good products so that you could provide honest reviews. A lot of people create tons of bogus reviews, buy ads, and mislead people into purchasing the products they are promoting. If you got the time and patience and youre willing to spend money you could make some good money going with this route. But its a lot of work at the beginning. If you have more specific questions feel free to post them here or send me an email. My email address in on the home page.
BTW, I’ll respond to your reviewopedia comment soon.
Hello people. I would like to pass my experience on ProfitLance. I bought this service 3 months ago. I tried to understand and practice the advices (ın my spare time-I am not a job-quitter). This pay-for-per-click and affiliate things did not gave me more than a couple of dollars. Finally I decided to quit. It did not work for me…That is all about my story…
Hi Nathan,
Sorry it didnt work for you. It does require a lot of work. Did you request a refund?
Hi Ari,
thank you for asking. Indeed, no. I did not ask for refund. I did not want to blame anyone, except me. Maybe I am so stupid. Indeed, I really tried hard, did whatever described in this system, but did not work. At last, I thought that the profit which could be made with this way was so small that, collecting a significant amount of money was not possible in that way.
It just works with so small commisions generated by some mouse clicks generated by someone else. So, finally I believed that that commision thing is just a game, and profits were so small that, it could make only some guys rich who promoted and sold this kind of methods.
However, since I am not sure about my ability to do necessary tasks for this kind of stuff, I dont want to blame the method. Maybe some smarter guys out there can let it work . I just wanted to pass my experience to people.
Do you think, Ari, is an average Joe (like me) can make a good money with this method, using his spare time (1-2 hours in a day)? And how long takes it to get this point? Years?
Thank you.
Nathan
I was sort of waiting for someone to ask this question. The answer is yes an average Joe can make good money with this method using spare time if you really really have it, you really use it, and you are really efficient with it. If you are a parent and you work all day and spend time with your wife and kids in the evening it will be quite a challenge. As for how long, it depends on how honest you are. I know for a fact people are making really good money using this program however I dont agree at all with their methods. Mike tells people to write reviews about products they have properly researched and have found to be good. However, people are writing bogus reviews on whatever product provides either good returns (75% commission) or is popular (weight loss products, number of people advertising the product who are actually making money). I appall this method as it involves serious misrepresentation of the product you are promoting. To make serious money with affiliate commissions you need to have tens and tens of product reviews. I know people are not actually purchasing the products that they are reviewing. It would cost them thousands.
Look, I have to admit that I am not making that much money using the program either. I refuse to promote a product I dont truly believe in. I have yet to find a money making program thats as good as Profit Lance worth promoting. As for other products, I am not overweight so I cant honestly review weight loss products. I dont own an Ipod so I cant review the music download products. I dont smoke, own a dog, go snowboarding, and I am not in debt. I dont believe in any of the investing products on clickbank such as doubling stocks strategies and forex enterprises. So in the end, I am limited in what I can promote. Nevertheless, I still believe Profit Lance is a great product because i learnt a lot from the project section as well as other areas. It also does a great job in providing basic and background information to making money through affiliate commissions. I am still using the techniques I learnt in the program to find a legitimate way to make good money. I hope this answers your question. Feel free to email me if you have any more questions.
Hey Ari,
Great website. I’m studying the Profit Lance site and I am impressed by the amount of info. I’m new to this field and hope to be successful with it.
However, something disturbing just happened. I was looking at the Live Affilliate websites, and on almost half of them my virus software came up and blocked what it said were Trojan Horses! I tried to email Profitlance, but no luck. Maybe you have a working email for them since you did communicate with Mike in the past?
Hey, this is Melissa. I want to know if this is Paul my cousin. Please respond. I miss you. Is this Paul from the Furrow family?
