Wordpress on Steroids ... WP Mage System
 |
If you want to build a residual income on the Internet there are several ways to do it. I've tried a lot that were not exactly what they were touted to be but in August I discovered one that really works for me. I will share my review as posted on the Warrior Forum and also a lot of the questions that were asked about the program.
Please be aware that when I first reviewed this program I was not in any way affiliated with it ... but, since so many people have asked for my affiliate link, I became an affiliate for the WPmage system on Nov. 9 of this year . While this review is totally unbiased, I think it is fair to let you know up front that if you use my link to purchase the WPmage system I will earn an affiliate commission. Thank you in advance for using my link :).
I started WPmage as a beta tester for Greg Jacobs, the creator of the system. I met him on the Warrior Forum and quickly discovered he is a straight-up guy. I've tried other auto blogging programs without success so I thought 'what the heck?', it could be good.
I'm glad I did.
Before I started the Mage system I was (and still am) a successful content provider. I write content and build websites for people almost 24/7. I also have clients who hire me to keep their sites updated. I am the music worship leader for the early service each Sunday at my church, have a wonderful, Navy retiree husband, two "best-in-the-world" grown children, a six-year old granddaughter, and a 2 year old great-grandson. In other words, I have a good, full, very busy life. (The picture on the left is of my husband and me, taken on October 14 of this year.)
My husband and I are "senior citizens ... retired, but even more active than we were before we reached the magic retirement age. I just can't see myself sitting idle. I work. I play. I love. I laugh. I worship. I learn. Life is good.
But, I want more free time from working so that's why I keep looking for a way to make residual income.
That's why I was interested in the WPMage system. If it worked like Greg said it did I knew I could soon have more free time to play, love, laugh, etc. ... and would be able to spend less time working.
Okay ... Here's My Review:
First of all, the WPmage system is a program that offers 3 Wordpress plugins that work together to create a powerful system of pulling content from article directories and Yahoo and product from Amazon, eBay, CJ merchants, Clickbank and Overstock. If you like Adsense you can also use that. When I first wrote a review on the WF I used only eBay to monetize, however I have now added all of the monetization features and it is awesome!
The plugins:
As I said, there are three: affiliate mage, content mage and posting mage. These can be added to any Wordpress site, or used with the autoblogging function of WPmage to create brand new sites.
The affiliate mage and content mage can be used for manual operation --- i.e., you can manually input the code in any post to monetize as mentioned above. However, the posting mage plugin is the brains that automate the system; it works with the other two plugins to create what I think is an awesome platform for autoblogging and for monetizing your blogs.
CPmage - the autoblogging feature:
CP stands for "control panel" and that's what this part of the software does. It becomes the control panel for installing a multitude of sites. You can update the sites, delete them ... whatever, from the control panel.
The ability to create blogs quickly is what a lot of people like although that is not why I love the program. With CPmage you can install a wordpress blog, with complete monetization and content ... thousands of posts if you want to ... within minutes. It is like having wp-o-matic and caffienated content on steriods with a lot more control over what you're doing. Whiz bang and its done. (No, it isn't at all like these two programs. I just mention them because that's what I was using prior to getting the wpmage system.) I've also bought and discarded the Store Stacker program -- a total waste of money and time for me!
The Mage system is a complete Wordpress Install. All of the plugins you need are installed and activated ... not just the mage-related plugins, but plugins that are required for SEO, spam control, social bookmarking, etc. You do not have to install a single plugin unless you want something else.
WPmage - the autobuilding feature:
If you don't want to use the steriods :) ... there's a program for you, too (my favorite). It also creates the Wordpress site almost instantly, installing all the plugins just as mentioned above. The only difference in this and the CPmage is that you install the mage program on a site-by-site basis. Other than that it has the same power as the CPmage.
Greg refers to the above systems: manual, cpmage and wpmage as "paths". When you purchase the mage system you are given the option to choose any of the above paths to creating your own system. You are not locked into any one path ... you can choose any or all. It is a flexible program.
Oh, and another thing ... you can install the mage system on as many domains as you want to ... no limits whatsoever.
Here's a video Greg did that explains the system and shows you how it works. Since he created this video he has added CJ Merchants and Clickbank products to the WPmage:
As stated, I am already earning a decent living on the Internet. I started in 1996 with one site and slowly added sites until I had 12 sites. I was always looking for a way to earn residual income. It seemed nothing I tried worked. I could earn great income on the Internet ... but it seemed to consume my life. I worked hard. Long. All the time. So, when I started the WPmage system I was a bit jaded but nevertheless, hopeful.
I started off with just eBay links on a couple of sites I "pimped" (the mage word for adding mage to existing sites). I liked what I saw as my ebay income started going upward so I continued adding the mage to some of my existing sites and started purchasing expired domains as well. I soon had 30 sites.
My income started growing. The first month (August) I had an income of around $150 from the maged sites -- I really didn't expect any income at all that month because Greg says it takes about 4 weeks to start seeing income. In September the income had increased to $350; In October my earnings were just over $700 ...
Now, that's a nice sum! :)
I started with just the ePN product affiliation, but I have since added CJ merchants, Overstock and Amazon to my monetization because I don't think I should put all mu eggs in one basket. Some sites just don't work for products so I started adding Adsense in October -- a good move as my Adsense income for maged sites was over $80 that month.
I love this program!
I am not a greedy person but I can now see a way to have more of the time I need ... time for family, friends and, yes, time for God. That's important for me and it seems I've had to squeeze in time for devotions and Bible study. Not good.
Questions I've been asked on the Warrior Forum or via PMs on the WF:
I started off with just eBay, but I've added the other monetization methods and am pleased with the results. I think CJ merchants will eventually pull as much as eBay. And, while I have only a few sites with Adsense on them, I couldn't be more pleased. It is growing. I will be adding more made-for-adsense sites.
CP mage is a control panel you install on a domain. After you install it and input all your affiliate info, you are able to install the mage system on multiple domains. It automatically installs wordpress with multiple useful plugins and, of course, all of the mage plugins. When the install process is complete you have a site set up and ready to go. You don't really have to do anything else to it. Then, you can just go back to the CPmage and install another and another and another.
You can actually build a site in minutes and populate it with thousands of articles/products ... but, that's not what I do. I guess it's a blessing/curse of my personality to do things the hard way. I sometimes take two or three days to build a site out to the point that I can walk away from it and start another. Then I always go back and tweak later. I always customize my themes and always put unique content on the front end. You don't have to do that -- it's just my way. There are others who started when I did who are making a lot more money than I ... just doing what Greg says to do.
You don't really post blog comments ... just posts and products. You get almost immediate traffic because of the aged domains. You should purchase domains that have backlinks and, if possible, good PR. I like to buy older domains because they seem to have more authority. If you have 3000 blog posts indexed you will get natural, organic traffic. It just happens.
When this question was asked, I was only using eBay. Since then I have added CJ merchants, Amazon, Overstock and Adsense. I am very pleased with all of them ... especially the Adsense. In October (my first Adsense month) I made $80. That will increase as I add more Adsense sites.
From a user standpoint, I totally understand your feelings. When I first tried Greg's domain tool that he gave away to War Room members my intention was to buy $5 expired domains, build sites and sell them. Greg said (in a thread on that forum) that I would make more money putting affiliate links such as the ePN on the sites.
--- Traffic comes from the search engines and back links (we purchase expired domains)
I didn't have an affiliate link when Myra asked that questions. Now, I do. Join WPmage
Michael, thanks for your kind words. Yes, mage is brand new ... and not rehashed. I believe there are other systems out there that will do something similar, however. Greg is a great guy and stands behind his product all the way. I am very impressed with him. |
Summary:
As stated at the beginning of this review, I have tried many programs that promised a system to build residual income. I've probably spent out 3x the money I've made on any of these programs ... until I tried the WPmage system. It is the only system to date that really works out of the box just as the creator said it would.
I invite you to visit Greg's site and sign up. He allows only limited participants so if you get in, you are one of the lucky ones. You can Join using my link ... or, you can go around me. But, whatever you do, if you want a chance to see what I'm talking about ... Get the WPmage program.
I am very active in the WPmage forum ... after you join send me a PM from within the forum. I promise to help you in any way possible.
Warmest Regards,
