Whenever there is a claim that says you can make a load of money in very little time it always peaks my interest, probably not for the reason you think, but to find out if them claims are true and if not to expose them for what they are. In todays review we are going to see if Launchify is a scam product or a legitimate way to make money online.
NAME: Launchify
OWNERS: Matt MacKinnon, Piyush Harne
& Juwon Million
WEBSITE: http://launchify.funnelfastlane.com/launchify
what is launchify about
After going over the sales video and page all I know is it has something to do with product launches and that the system these guys are using is picking up all the money that is being left on the table from these launches.
The 3 steps to riches are:
- Step 1 – watch the training
- Step 2 – choose your product launch
- Step 3 – Watch your bank account grow
At this stage I'm not sure if these guys are serious or just having a laugh, I mean obviously at this stage you don't know what's inside the training, but stay tuned because I'll be going over exactly what it is you're going to be getting that's going to let you collect commission while you sleep.
OK so I've taken a look at the introduction video and one thing that I found a bit of a strange thing to say was launch jacking was virtually unheard-of, I'm not sure if this guy has just come back from Mars or somewhere, but launch jacking is one of the most popular ways to make money online.
It turns out this particular product is all about promoting high ticket items that generate a $300 – $500 commission on each sale.
How you promote these products will be through your own website specific to that product, doesn't mention that on the sales page does it. Now this means to me that you're going to have to buy traffic to send to your new website because organic search traffic takes time to grow.
This actually reminds me of an old product called Google Sniper which I cut my teeth on. That was all about building small "sniper" sites that targeted a single product, normally from Clickbank
It wasn't a great product, it simply exposed loopholes that Google has long closed down, but back then I was a total newbie and believed all the hype fed to me.
So in a nutshell this course requires you to:
- select your high ticket product
- buy a domain and build a website around that product
- add bonuses
- pay for your ads to get traffic
Sounds simple doesn't it. In my experience what sounds simple rarely turns out to be easy, two very different words.
what i liked
- the videos are clear to see and hear
- 30 day money back guarantee
what i didn't like
- made to sound incredibly easy
- video on building a website doesn't cover all the necessary elements
- some videos do feel rushed
- the need for paid traffic
- the feel of everything just being glossed over
- just reminds me of sniper sites
inside the training
OK time to take a look at what the training is in a bit more detail. You get access to 12 video modules that are:
- Welcome to Launchify – 4.49
- Product Launching Resources – 11.13
- How To Select The right Product – 11.49
- Domain & Hosting – 10.36
- Building Your Website – 31.18
- Building Your Website 2 – 18.19
- Adding Bonuses part 1 & 2 – 15.00 – 10.35
- Bing Ads – 22.18
- Google Adwords – 15.24
- Facebook Ads – 47.39
- Scenarios – 2.34
- Final Thoughts – 4.38
You can basically disregard the 1st, 11th and 12th videos because they're not training, the last one is actually just a sales pitch to get you to buy the oto's. Yes this does come with the dreaded upsells.
the oto's
The upsells as I'm sure you know by now are supposed to increase your chances of making money, I look at them a bit differently and see them as a way of the vendor making more money, not you. But that might just be me 🙂
- OTO #1 $47 with a downsell to $27
This is for 4 templates that you can use on you websites, the downsell means that if you click "No thanks" at the bottom of the sales page you're going to get it for $27.
- OTO #2 $47 again with a downsell to $27
This shows you in a 10 video module how to set up a retargeting campaign
- OTO #3 $47 with a downsell to $27
This is the resell rights to Launchify which means if you want to you can give it away for free in any of your campaigns as a bonus
final thoughts
Although Launchify isn't a scam I think the sales page is extremely over optimistic if they believe what they are saying, as a new marketer you're never going to make the sort of money they claim that they do, it simply won't happen.
The idea of going for the high ticket items is a good one, but the problem is they're trying to make you think it's going to be oh so easy to make sales and earn that commission.
Going after the big paydays' means you're going to be competing with the big boys who have years of experience on you and know how to play the game.
As far the training goes I really feel as though there isn't enough for what they want you to do, you're going to be left with a lot more questions than they have answers to, but if you have the experience you really don't need this either because there is nothing new here, it's all old stuff just repackaged.
what now

I've gone for a really simple project today which can be made for lots of different occasions just by changing the sentiment. I love this stamp set and think the floral image really stands out in darker colours. the background to the card is simply the image stamped using coordinating card stock and ink which creates an almost watermarked effect. Hopefully you love this as much as I do. Are there any other colour combos you would like to see?

Ministry of Agriculture has made changes to the preferential agro- crediting scheme as well as to a project of co-financing of processing enterprises.According to the Ministry, as a result of the project optimization, from January 2015 instead of the current 8 components there will be a preferential agro-credit of two components :
- preferential agro-credit for current assets
- preferential agro-credit for fixed assets
- preferential agro-leasing
- state program "Produce in Georgia"
Upper limit rate to the interest rate on a loan was set under the preferential agro-credit project. In theframework of the optimization, annual interest rates on bank loans have reduced and the upper limits are defined as follows:
For current assets:
- GEL 20 000 to GEL 10 000 000 loans (depending on the loan amount) annual interest rate was set at 10% -15%
For fixed assets:
• USD 12 000 – USD 600 000 (depending on the loan amount) annual interest rate was set at 12%- 15%
Simultaneously with a decline in interest rates, the Agency reduced annual interest rates on co- financing and defined as follows:
- the current assets component – 8%;
- the fixed assets component – 11%
annual interest rates on co-financing remained unchanged for preferential agro-leasing and the government program "Produce in Georgia
- preferential agro-leasing – 12%;
- "Produce in Georgia" – 10%.
To interest and attract large business groups, changes were introduced to the project of co-financing of processing enterprises.
These changes will provide incentives for investment in the regions, which will eventually promote important projects. New enterprises will be created and the locals will be employed.

Casino man accused of attempted shooting murder
CCTV footage will be used in a brief of evidence in the case against a Casino man accused of an attempted shooting murder near the Casino RSM Club in September.
Paul Harris was shot in the left shoulder by the occupant of a white sedan while he was walking on Canterbury St near the intersection with Walker St, about 11pm on Saturday September 1.
Harris was rushed to Lismore Base Hospital for treatment.
Police launched an investigation and the following day they arrested James Robert Rawlings, 34, at Tabulam.
Rawlings is charged with shooting with intent to murder, discharging a firearm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, firing a gun in a public place, and weapons charges.
He remains behind bars and did appear in Lismore Local Court when the matter was mentioned on Tuesday.
Appearing as agent for Rawlings' lawyers, solicitor Jim Fuggle told the court there had been "non-compliance" with a service order for the brief of evidence.
Police prosecutor Brett Gradisnik agreed that was the case, saying he had received a detailed email from the officer in charge requesting a six week adjournment.
"Is anything holding up the brief?" Magistrate David Heilpern asked.
Sgt Gradisnik said there was CCTV footage outstanding as well as a ballistics forensic examination and said police were also trying to track down a witness.
Magistrate Heilpern agreed to adjourn the matter until December 4, to return to Lismore Local Court for mention.

In response to an October 2017 Executive Order that we reported on in a prior Compliance Buzz, the Department of Labor ("DOL") recently released proposed rules that would make it easier for small businesses and sole proprietors to band together to purchase and provide health insurance through association health plans ("AHPs"). Specifically, the new rules would allow employers in the same geographic or metropolitan area or in the same industry to commonly sponsor a single group health plan for their employees. The proposed rules would also clarify that such associations may band together for the sole purpose of providing health insurance to their members. This would be a change from the existing regulatory guidance that limits AHP arrangements to groups or associations of employers that exist for a bona fide purpose other than merely offering health insurance coverage to their members.
The proposed rules would require the group or association to have a formal organizational structure with a governing body and by-laws and to be functionally controlled by its employer members. In addition, the group or association health plan coverage offered through an AHP must be limited to employees and former employees of participating AHP members.
Although no size limit would apply to employers seeking to form or join an AHP, the proposed rules are principally aimed at small employers with fewer than 50 employees. The new rules are intended to provide small employers with more bargaining power to enable them to purchase and offer less expensive health insurance options to their employees.
Certain Affordable Care Act ("ACA") protections would apply to coverage offered by AHPs. For example, the plans would be prohibited from charging individuals higher premiums or refusing to cover them based on health factors, including pre-existing conditions. In addition, there would still be caps on how much an individual would have to pay out-of-pocket in a year, as well as bans on lifetime or annual limits for services covered by the plan. The plans would also be required to provide preventative services at no cost to the participant.
Despite the protections noted above, however, plans offered by AHPs would not be required to comply with certain other ACA mandates, including the requirement to provide certain "essential health benefits," such as maternity care and coverage for mental health and substance abuse issues. This has led critics to assert that insofar as AHPs are likely to be cheaper than fully-ACA-compliant plans, AHPs will tend to attract employers with younger, healthier workers, leaving behind sicker people in the more comprehensive, more expensive plans that fully comply with the ACA. This may, in turn, drive up premiums for ACA-compliant plans, further destabilizing the individual health insurance marketplace.
The proposed rules were published in the Federal Register on January 5, 2018, and there is a 60-day public comment period.

It's that time of year again when we can't get through one episode of "Grey's Anatomy" without a thousand political ads between every commercial. The endless derogative propaganda between the different parties with the ever so familiar ending tagline "...and I approve this message." But with all the mindless bickering between the two major political parties is there truly a correct side, especially in this specific election?
Our world has turned into a very volatile place, with everyone taking a side. Someone always has to be right and someone always has to be wrong. But have we as a society forgotten the First Amendment that gives us the freedom of speech? Every single person is entitled to their own opinion as a citizen, though today we seem to be much more judgmental of one another. If it's all right for you to have your own opinions, it's all right for others, too. Be tolerant and accepting and be willing to hear their views.
The war of politics has always been an intense thing, but this election, in particular, has brought out the worst in our society, between the simple gender discrimination aimed toward Hilary Clinton or disagreement with having a businessman mentality like Donald Trump run our country. Recently in the news, the altercations at party rallies have become an ever-growing concern. While political debates have turned into derogatory slamming between the candidates, people are more filled with hatred for the rival party rather than the motivation to support their own.
Overall, the evolution of politics has gone from bad to worse. We as a society need to learn to values everyone's opinion, even if it differs from our own. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, we should focus on supporting what party we favor rather than fighting with the opposite party. As millennials, we need to understand that it is our duty to exercise that privilege. Although all the candidates serve the interests of different groups/kinds of people, I think there are certain interests that inevitably affect all people. If we start now, perhaps we can make progress for our children and so on, putting the political system back on the right track to its original state. And to truly start that off... just don't vote for Donald Trump.

Why is it important for women of color to lead or work in leadership roles and decision-making capacities?
I think it's important for everyone, in general, to want to be a leader, however, we know that won't always be the case. A leader is someone who exemplifies strength, determination, and much tenacity. It is particularly important for women of color to lead in this manner because they give hope to little Brown girls who have dreams of following in their footsteps. More importantly, I think it's imperative for women of color to set goals and to reach extremely high for them. It isn't just the word leadership that inspires a person but it's what that leader is doing. It's how they are boldly changing the world and sacrificing for the things they want to happen. When girls of color see a strong Black woman, it becomes easier for them to set goals because they can familiarize themselves with those who have successfully paved the way. In regard to women of color being in roles where we are decision makers; it is completely necessary as we can always bring a diversified perspective to the table. Our knowledge, culture, and experiences have equipped us with the ability to see things from all angles and to be empathetic toward certain situations. However, we can also think rational[ly] as to what makes the most sense and what is fair for the majority when it comes to making firm decisions.
If you could thank any Black woman history maker for her contributions to society, who would it be and why?
Mellody Hobson, hands down! I've looked up to this woman for quite some time now. She started her professional career in her early 20s and is still at that same company 20-plus years later. She's grown from entry-level positions to the president; at Ariel Investments that is! Not only is she the president of the largest minority-owned investment firm in the country but she sits on many boards for major corporations.To see her accomplishments surely has inspired me and this goes back to the first question of why it's important for women of color to be bold and to be leaders.
How do you feel about the hashtag #CollaborationOverCompetition? What qualities or values do you deem indispensable in your business partners or collaborators?
I absolutely love this hashtag. I for one am a huge advocate for collaborating and building alongside my sisters. I just finished hosting an online virtual summit which featured five women real estate professionals and we have tons of tips, tricks, and advice to others in the industry. We are certainly stronger when we come together as our experiences and backgrounds are all different. We can reach a much larger and more diverse audience when others have people they can relate to.
What are your thoughts on taking risks? Making mistakes?
I think this is a great question because many people think you always have to fail in order to learn a lesson. On the contrary, I think you can learn a lot by truly listening to those who have made mistakes before you. This is why I believe it's so important to have mentors that you can lean on for advice. Yes, there are certain situations where some things you just have to go through but I think you can save a lot of time and headache by listening to those who have successfully gone before you.
What are three success habits you implement into your daily routine to maintain your success, sanity and peace of mind?
To maintain my success, I really take pride in educating myself. I've invested thousands of dollars into learning my craft and polishing my skills. I think it's imperative for those who wish to experience success they understand that they must never stop learning. I have a saying on my website that says "the main K.E.Y.s to success is to Keep Educating Yourself!" This can be in the form of workshops, webinars, seminars, conferences, reading books, etc. Peace of mind — I have a problem saying no to people. I try my very best to be a woman of my word so I let my yes mean yes, my no mean no, and I often use "let me check and I'll get back to you." As you become busier in your daily routine you have to learn that it isn't meant for you to be everywhere all the time and it isn't meant for you to be everything to everybody. Again, learn the importance of saying no. Lastly, I've noticed that when I go to bed early I can wake up early and get a lot of work done.
Who or what motivates you and why?
This may sound strange but seeing other people win is something that motivates me. It lights a fire under my behind and I tell myself to go out there and get what's [mine]. … What also motivates me is the inbox messages and emails I receive from people who are my age (26) or younger who are amazed when they see what I've accomplished so far. They always say, "Since I'm young, how can I … " and I stop them right in their tracks and I let them know do not let being young be an excuse. That is your advantage! So it definitely motivates me to be able to encourage and inspire others.

Endorsed by Mass Alliance!
Great news! I just learned that our campaign has been endorsed by Mass Alliance, a coalition of the state's leading progressive advocacy organizations with a stellar record of winning elections!
This endorsement means a lot to me — not only because it's a sure sign that our campaign for new leadership for Cambridge and Somerville is on the right track — but especially because so many of the great, progressive legislators that I have looked up to over the years have also been endorsed by this organization.
Here is an excerpt from an op-ed submitted by MassAllaince director Jordan Powers to the Somerville Journal:
Read more
"Mike was raised in public housing, benefited from Head Start and other social services and through a scholarship worked his way through college. He went on to attend law school, becoming an attorney and establishing himself as a community leader dedicated to serving the public interest. He knows firsthand the importance our commitment to every child is," said Jordan Berg Powers, executive director of Mass Alliance.
"Rep. [Tim] Toomey has twisted himself in all directions trying to rewrite his voting history, but the record is clear. Mass Citizens for Life, an anti-choice group, recently rated Rep. Toomey as 100 percent pro-life," Powers said. "When given the chance to support public education, Rep. Toomey voted not once, but twice, most recently in April, to sell our schools off to big corporate donors. Rep. Toomey had a chance to fulfill his promise of MBTA expansion — but time and again voted against additional revenue that would support projects like the Green Line Extension and the Somerville Community Path. And at a time when citizens are making it clear they want more support for addiction and less mass incarceration, Rep. Toomey voted four times since 2014 to expand mandatory minimums. Rep. Toomey is out of step with the progressive leadership that voters in Cambridge and Somerville deserve.
"The things that are important to Mike are the things that are important to us — a clean, safe environment, public schools that provide our kids with a high-quality education and an economic system that gives working families a fair shot," Powers added. "As the largest progressive organization in the Commonwealth, Mike was the only choice in this race."

One Response to "Moptop Madness: Wilson Pickett vs. Otis Redding, Rachel Unthank and the Winterset vs. Tenacious D"
You're definitely not kidding! Otis Redding vs. Wilson Pickett? Holy shit, both are f***ing amazing covers! I went with Wilson Pickett, though due to the studio recording having better fidelity. (Hey, I had to have SOMETHING to use to make my decision, and the clearer studio audio made Pickett's voice stand out more, though if both were recorded live or both in the studio, I would've had to flip a coin!)
Tenacious D may have been sillier with their cover, but it's too much fun to say 'no' to. On the other hand, Rachel Unthank is definitely a very skilled musician and singer, but she completely missed the simmering rage of the lyrics, so her "Sexy Sadie" had too much of an 'easy listening' vibe for it to beat the D.

Any comments on SONIC REALITY SONIK CAPSULES: ELECTRIC GUITARS.
How good (or bad) are they? Are they clean or distorted? I found their site here: http://www.sonicreality.com/viewDet...p?ProductID=130 , but nothing is mentioned.
Any hints?
How do they compare to QL Strat? Or SONIC IMPLANTS AMPS & PICKUPS vol. 1 & 2? Thanks.
P.S.: Sorry for starting a new thread on this.
