Great course! Short but valuable! I've found it really helpful. The topic was interesting and the content of the course was explained clearly. I've really liked the part of the course in which the instructor expained some sections step by step. It was the second course I've taken from Phil Ebiner, and I have no doubts in recomnending his courses.Thank you!

Every module takes you step by step with clear explanations and examples for each stage. Thankfully there are no distractions like funky into video or backround music.

i've tried learning this topic through various books and online articles. i just couldn't get a grasp of the how's & why's - the master blueprint. Phil's course has solved this dilemma for me. i now am understanding the strategy, AND the nuts & bolts of email list building. This course is easy to follow, easy to understand, and a great value. Thanks Phil!
By John Burns on 10/10/2016
It wasnt what I expected. I assumed i would be shown in how to get 1000 subscribers. For a man so young he is doing well. Yes i like the free stuff and yet very concerned with mailpoet as it may be seen as a spam device from my server. Will stay away from that though. I think he needs to stop with the free stuff as he puts a lot of emphasis on it. Aweber may be 19 dollars a month and yet it stays away from a lot of problems with mailpoet. Also Phil is asking for honesty a shave may work well as it makes him look unprofessional and yet he does a good job. My oppinion of course.

First of all, I was attracted to the title of the course "Get Your First 1000 Email Subscribers Now". It was really compelling to me. The guy really seems to talk from his own personal experience and his course is really easy to follow. I'm really looking for to apply in my business what I am learning from him.
By Royah on 3/17/2016
This course presents the basics of email marketing in a clear and concise way. There were some very useful suggestions and the video and audio quality were great. The reason I gave it four stars was because there was more of an emphasis on Wordpress sites and plug-ins used in them. Alternatives for other platforms were briefly mentioned, but there were sections that focused on teaching how to use the Wordpress plug-ins, while a step-by-step formula for a different option was left out. I would have liked to see at least one step-by-step tutorial that could be used on a non-wordpress-based site. There are so many tools available today that are usable on different platforms and it would be nice to know which one is best and most cost effective. Overall, there are great suggestions on how to build your list and the teaching videos are of high quality.
By Andrew Luttrell, Ph.D. on 9/19/2015
I wish I had taken this course before wasting a bunch of time trying out free opt-in plugins that didn't work. This course is a very thorough but also streamlined guide to getting your mailing list account set up, creating effective opt-ins through Wordpress, and driving traffic to the site. I'm excited to put this all into practice. Thank you!
