Shoemoney System Review & Overview

Tuesday 26th January, 2010

… And after thinking about it for the past month or so I almost entirely forget about it, as offline life is rather complicated today. To exacerbate the matter I overslept in the first place but as soon as I awoke I was basically forced to other things and the launch of the Shoemoney System totally skips my mind. Sheese!! I would’ve kicked myself if I had missed it!

As it turns out I almost DID miss it. I KNOW I was higher than the 450th person to sign up but, fortunately, I made it within the first 500. Now $197.00 lighter in the hip pocket I look forward to seeing just what is on offer.

I login to my account and am initially a little disappointed. Only TWO videos! Still, thinking back on it, it’s probably more than enough to start with — especially for a noobie (of which I’m not I have to say). The dashboard — and I do mean dashboard as I discover (through a source view) that the site is run by WordPress — is well set out. I watch the introductory video and familiarise myself with the layout by clicking the various sections.

And there’s some great stuff here. I’ll do a quick rundown on the different sections on the menu bar at the left:

First up there’s the ShoeMoney System Core Training section, under which is the link to the “Welcome” page, “Recent Videos” and the “Video Library”. Seems pretty straight forward — It’s the main section with all the videos… even if there’s only two for the time being. By the end of the year it’ll be up around the 100 videos mark, I’m sure.

The next section is marked “Webinars”. There’s nothing here at the moment but I would assume that this is where the question and answer sessions will be. I don’t know if it will be video or a podcast (maybe both) but it looks promising.

Next up is the “Resources” section. I have to say that it’s truly inspirational. Tons of helpful links and resources, each broken up into different groups — affiliate & CPA networks, contextual advertising companies, online spying tools, graphic design tools, online help desk software, web hosting solutions, keyword research software and tools, lead generation sources, live chat software, media buying sources, membership site management, market research tools, outsourcing networks, paid press release services, free press release services, shopping cart services, survey and polling software, web analytic tools and video submission sites. There are A COUPLE OF HUNDRED OR SO links here! No really secret stuff at all. It’s stuff that you could easily compile yourself if you had A TON of spare time, but just getting it all researched and compiled is almost worth the $197.00 bucks that I’ve just paid out. Truly great stuff, and Jeremy and his crew should be congratulated just for this alone.

Also under the “Resources” section is “Niche Ideas”, which is pretty much self explanatory. Once again there is a ton of great ideas here.

The next section is “Shoemoney Podcasts” — a list of downloadable podcasts that Jeremy has done over the years. I think I probably have most, if not all, of these already in my iTunes but it’s good to know that they’re all here ready to check out again when needed.

Another link in the “Shoemoney Podcasts” section is “Expert Interviews”. These seem to be videos rather than podcasts but none of them are active at this stage. The industry experts include Ted Murphy (founder & CEO of IZEA), Jonathan Volk, Dr. David Klein, Chris Hedgecock and Alex Barbara (founder of EasyTweets).

The next section is “Advertising Coupons”. Now Jeremy did say prior to launching the Shoemoney System that he had stitched up some deals with some of the major players, and here are the coupons. They’re not active yet, but there are coupons for Facebook, Google and SponsoredTweets.

The next section is “User Profile”. Basically the default WordPress User Profile page.

Just under that is the “Contact Shoemoney” section which leads to an online contact form. I assume you’ll be able to talk to Jeremy directly through this. Sweet!

The last section is simply “Logout”. Enough said!

OK, I’m going to leave the wrap up there for today and get stuck into the first video tomorrow. I want to stress again that I won’t give too much away, but I will give a brief overview of the system and what I’m doing with it each day (unless I’m busy doing other stuff) so stay tuned.

Until tomorrow!
