As promised we will be accepting more students into the ShoeMoney System tomorrow at 2pm CST.
Just the other day I had a call with Dush, VP of Clickbank (our payment processor) , who informed us we have the lowest return policy of any product they have ever had at that price point in their 12 years of operation.
I think that says a LOT especially when you look at how drop dead simple I have made the refund policy (no questions asked).
I have never been so proud of anything we have ever produced. As many students are finding out we DO listen AND implement changes if needed.
BTW I am German and you know germans make good stuff. (sham wow reference for those who dont get it)
We continue to have companies lined up to be apart of the ShoeMoney System and will have some neat announcements shortly 
.
Make sure you get on the early bird waiting list to get early entry and avoid being shut out again !

When this system launched I was receiving all the emails and being like ‘Yah Yah Shoe, classic deadline marketing (almost filled!) yeah ok.’ …
Then it closed!
Yikes. I might actually have to pull the trigger this time around! Do you have any more testimonials by people on the program, numbers yet, etc.
Glad to talk to you today Jeremy. VERY helpful. I’m interested to see what John comes back with about that eBay stuff. I’ll definitely be pushing for people to join.
Isn’t the waiting list already HUGE though? It’s gotta be…
Yea I heard it was pretty big! Haven’t hear any one talking about the system since people started promoting it the first time. Be nice to hear some reviews from people on the inside.
I’m a member, wasn’t massively impressed with how things started but I understand that a 12 month course will take time to get going.
Shoemoney System Review – 1 Month In
Right. Ever been to a college course where they handed out the course outline in the first day – that’s not worth the money, but usually they get rolling from there.
Tom, I am totally new to any kind of marketing, and have no experience of programming or the like so I started a blog at the beginning of the course to help me learn. It gives an unbiased review, week by week of what we are doing, including any frustrations with emails etc. Please have a look. The course support IS getting better.

Yes the refund policy was very straight forward and it was very easy for me to do a refund. I was hoping it would be a little more advanced but it was a great program overall. I did a review on it on my blog.
My short review:
The first 3 weeks were pretty basic and things most net savvy people should already know (account creations, use of forums, what is, etc.).
The meat was @ the end of the first month and dealt with eBay; the concept is something novice IMs should already know.
I wasn’t that impressed as there wasn’t anything I didn’t already know but then again I’m not a pro marketer.
Waiting to see how month 2 goes.
If anyone has any questions for me, you can contact me @ ic3cr33m@gmail.com
Keep in mind though that this is a 12 month course setup so even your grandmom could do it. 1st month was basic and 2nd will be less basic and 3rd even less and so on. Every month the intensity will turn up i am sure. He has 12 months to cover so im sure everything has to build up.
I think it’s a bit dumb that he’s not showing more of the course outline. Based on what people see in the first 2 months (pretty basic stuff so far), it isn’t hard to see people leaving (even though there may be good stuff coming later).
Secondly, I think part of the reason the refund rate is so low right now is because there is a 60 day no questions asked refund period, and everyone is just waiting till the end of that period. We’ll see if the refund rate stays put after this month.
Perhaps the course is being created and thus no course outline is available.
Many memberships and courses are started with very little content.
The content is created or even outsourced as needed on a weekly or monthly basis.
I don’t know if Jeremy operates this way but some people definitely do.
I don’t say it’s good or bad but it helps to be aware of the fact.

That’s not what has been implied at all. In the build up it was made clear that a huge chunk of time had been spent creating the content for the course.
On a different note the first line support deifinitely needs looking at. There is a golden tip in one of the latest videos but there are plenty of non programmers on the course that won’t know where to get started. I suggested an example and got a response that made no sense at all. Where is the support based?
good luck with your system.. still wandering around here…
I’ve been meaning to try this one out. But reading the comments here, it sounds that it’s kinda back to basics course.
Now I’m confused…
If you are serious I invite you to try it out for yourself for 60 days and make your own decision. There is zero risk to you you will not find a easier refund policy.
SO much for the limited edition hype :p
I have to say I am disappointed here.
I signed up the first time round and paid a lot of money to learn how little one woman knew about internet marketing and how to sign up for a clickbank account.
So do the ones who join in the second wave get the half useful stuff immediately or do they also have a particularly lean first month in terms of content?
If the new signups get the stuff I see now immediately, I have to say, I feel like I have been shafted and wasted the first month’s subscription.
Buono –
I agree 100%.
JP
Let me know if you get an answer. Very fair question.
Buono, Please correct me if I’m wrong here, but it states quite clearly on the adverts for this system that Jeremy designed it with his Parents in mind. That is starting this course with NO EXPERIENCE like myself. You cannot expect a system to start straight in at the deep end. I have looked at a few options to this course that totally blew my mind in reading the first few posts. I am content with the pace, AND I’m learning all the time. I’m sure you will see a big difference in the next few weeks. Good luck!
Just a question, are we going to have acess to the Shoemoney tools as a part of Shoemoney System?
Nope 2 separate things for 2 totally separate audiences.
Great question though!
I just did a review of the system to coincide with relaunch:

Seems god but I am still not sure to join. BTW the ‘guarantee’ spelling ins not right in the video.
After the 2 month refund policy is up, we are NOT locked in for 12 months correct? Lets say after 6 months we want to quit, we can right? I realize we wont get the refund back, but we can still quit correct?
You are not locked into anything you can cancel at anytime.
Just posted an honest (and very disappointed) opinion on this whole Shoemoney System marketing blitz and my feelings of the less-than-honest approach (500 students only? Please!). My post was promptly deleted. Another nail in the coffin as far as I am concerned for any serious acceptance of advice from this company. A company that cannot take honest criticism is one to BEWARE of!!
(I don’t expect his post to last long)
Marcus
Please dude your comment was full of personal attacks and lies. I am not going to permit that junk. Go troll elsewhere.
Per the 500 people we always said we would originally let in 500 people and when we felt we had the support and content all perfect we would allow in more.
I think Shoe is one of the few that genuinely can take criticism. I think most of the comments here will be treated as feedback rather than criticism, including the ones (like mine) that include some negative comment.
If you call him an asshole, don’t be surprised if your comment gets filtered out, but if you offer something genuine to the discussion, that is no problem.
I just saw something on John Chow’s site that ticked me off a bit. Apparently, readers of his blog who join the system get the same goodies the first 100 got. It seems I wasn’t part of the first 100 of the first launch but was part of the first 500, and I’m a reader of John’s blog. Why can’t I get the World-Famous Shoemoney shirt and a book to read??
Shoe, you got some explaining to do…
I’ve gotten lots of great feedback on my Shoemoney System reviews. Keep them coming!
http://www.jtgraphic.net/2010/03/great-improvements-shoemoney-system/
I just joined yesterday and have gone through all of the videos that are available to be viewed. There are three other videos that are grayed out marked as ‘coming soon’.
Most of the videos and information presented thus far I pretty much knew. However I did not at all consider it a waste of time.
I signed up for this course knowing that it was important for the course to lay a groundwork and not assume that the Internet Marketing Level was too high and lose people right off the bat.
I have been involved with Internet Marketing for like 3 years since I retired from the corporate world and I have great expectations for this course to help me “put it all together” and get on a ‘sound road’ to making money.
I am wondering when I should start getting some emails with the new videos and step-by-step instructions to get going.
I am sure that this course has been formatted and structured to ‘insure success’ for those who are committed and willing to take the role of ‘student’ and not be overly influenced by what you may already know.
That is how I see this course.

My blog is a continual day-by-day review of the system, Tom, so you might want to give it a look? I don’t give away any of the secrets at all, and I don’t promote anything on the blog with affiliate links either (nor will I ever on this blog). I just give a rundown of the system and how I see it.
Yes, the first month or so was squarely aimed at the beginner, but it’s starting to get interesting now.
I have seen a video about your system but I didn’t get how long the course is or the total cost.
Jeremy, I want to promote your system as an affiliate but if it closes regularly then I don’t see the point?
If you are going to have more and are waiting for the infrastructure then I guess I should hold off on promotions for now? I didn’t read anything about such delays on your affiliate page and only came to this page via Google.
Please advise.
Thanks
Chris
Support right now is our #1 priority.
The support has just got better Paul! As a beginner that was my only criticism of the course to date. I had emailed a question that had taken a week to answer. I sent an email last night which was answered in 20 minutes!.
