Mainly just a setup to buy one of his programs
There’s no question that Igor is one of the most successful super affiliates out there. And he’s undoubtedly got the know how and experience to pass on to those new to affiliate marketing who want to learn and shave off learning curve time. But it’s gonna cost ya!This book was written for one purpose only - to dangle a big, fat, tempting carrot and try and entice you to shell out $$$ for one or more of his programs which, to Igor’s credit as a persuader, I did. I paid for his Lifestyle List Building program and I will start by giving him props in his over-delivery of service - a serious check in the pros column. Especially where it comes to the pre-recorded tutorial videos in what he calls his 100k Challenge. It’s basically 30 videos that go very in-depth into all the things you need to set up and do to start promoting sales funnels and generating $$$. I definitely learned several useful concepts and skills from these that would have otherwise taken a really long time to figure out had I been doing it on my own. So that’s a big plus.The cons of his program - in my personal opinion of course: 1) His live Zoom class webinars are mostly fluff and a total waste of time. So much time is wasted on hyping things up and talking about completely superfluous subject matter. It takes an hour and a half to just go over one or maybe two of the most basic concepts, when so much more could be covered if they’d quit with all the long, drawn out personal stories, self-aggrandizement, flat out bragging, and ra ra cheerleader rhetoric. It’s a total waste of 2 hours in order to maybe get one small morsel of info in the end, and then more up sells after that.2) There’s an overwhelming amount of info on the web portal dashboard that’s repackaged in a 101 different ways to make it appear that there’s a mountain of fresh material, when a lot of it is just repackaged and rehashed info with a new name slapped on it.3) You get mostly crappy support from hired gun administrative assistants who generally take their time getting back to you and clearly speak and write English as a second language - so half the time they don’t even understand nuanced questions and therefore can’t give clear or nuanced answers because of simple language compression issues.4) Even after you’ve paid hundreds to a few thousand dollars to be a member of one of his programs, he’s always, always, always trying to upsell you to some bigger and better tier that he claims will produce the big kahuna burger of residual commissions. For some of these we’re talking price tags of $5k - $6k… in some cases all the way up to $20k - 25k. That’s a huge hole to have to dig your ROI out of - could potentially take years before you ever see a return on investment - if you actually even do.5) He offers no money back guarantees if it doesn’t live up to what’s promised. $25K is an entire college tuition for a lot of people. And even $5k or $6k is a huge amount to shell out with no satisfaction guarantees offered.I’m not saying you can’t learn a lot from Igor - because you can. But it’s going to cost you a considerable amount of money and a lot of slogging through endless, confusingly repackaged material and meaningless zoom classes, not to mention dealing with second-rate support.Just my two cents worth FWIW.

Great story. He's done it all.
Igor has the mind of an engineer, so he sticks with problems, rationally, until he finds solutions.I was happy to read a book that wasn't full of fluff and hype. Igor seems to have made all the mistakes on the way to Internet Marketing success.I bought this book for one reason. I recognized his name. I bought a solo ad from Igor 10 years ago, and the fact that he's still in the game when the company that I was promoting has come and gone is a testament to his expertise.Four stars because there were glaring typos I couldn't ignore. But, the content was solid. Now, to look at the resources. A book is a list-building tool, if you know what you're doing 😉

Brief, relevant, and specific
Brief, relevant, and specific. Recommend. 91 pages. Entrepreneurship and email marketing.Igor Kheifets, like nearly all of my favorite authors and entrepreneurs, push through the grind for years before finally striking the epiphany (or set of epiphanies) that rapidly precipitated his success. Rapid, that is, in comparison to the years before.He hosts a podcast titled “The List Building Lifestyle Show.” On the show, Igor has interviewed legends in American entrepreneurialism such as Robert Kiyosaki, Russell Brunson, Chris Voss, Anik Singal, and Mark Manson, to name a few. I’ve read books by all of these men.In the book, Igor jumps quickly into the meat of his content, adding his personal experiences along the way. My favorite parts of the book consisted of Igor relating his struggles with such platforms as Facebook, Google, and even within his niche of email marketing.The three biggest takeaways I obtained from this book: (1) marketing success may narrow to just two parts, a great offer, and the right audience; (2) your audience wants to hear about its problems, and not yours; and (3) build your ladder and climb it.

This book is a pleasant surprise. It's one that was easy to read and hard to put down.
In the Forward of this book, Igor states his intention of having the reader become a producer, rather than just being a consumer.He covers traffic, finding products to sell, lists and as you would expect given the book's title, several chapters exploring aspects of email.One thing I particularly like is that Igor describes past failures as well as his successes.There are a few nice Easter eggs in the book with access to extra training, though you will have to read, rather than skim the book to find them.He also details his experiences with a diverse range of endeavors including affiliate marking and MLM.There is also a chapter with free list building resources.This book is a pleasant surprise. It's one that was easy to read and hard to put down.

Great Read but Not Thorough But full of Grammatical Errors!
Igor is a master at Listbuilding and this book is a great starting point. Just like Igor himself mentions, this book is the tip of the iceberg and so don't expect to have this book be thorough enough to solve all your traffic and money problems online. Igor is a genius at marketing and it is obvious that he is using this book to not make money off it but he uses it as a hook to create more audience for himself so he can sell them his other products and services later. What I found annoying about this book is it is FULL of grammatical mistakes and spelling errors. I wish enough time was spent in editing this book before it was published.

This Book is a MUST Read if you want a responsive e mail list
This is a simple book to understand the saying“The Money is in the List.” If you have tried solo ads and paid traffic and e mail swipes and follow ups that did not convert, Igor maps out exactly why. This is the number one change you can make to increase sales and conversions.

Igor is definitely a list builder and not just some self proclaimed guru. He walks the walk. I follow his blog and podcasts because I am a passionate media marketer and Igor always has timely news and views about this business. He has a very open style of writing which is informing and easy to read. I give him 5 stars because he comes across with the goods. Pick up this book. It is a quick and very informative.

The best of the best!
Igor Kheiferts is the guru when it comes to Email Marketing and marketing in general. I have followed his career for many years and he simply gets better with age, like an old bottle of red, maturing with age on the shelf. In this case, you cannot leave Igor's book on the shelf. It is to be used, and used regularly!
