Review of 'Planetsms Digital Monthly Mentorship'

A new mentoring program with a big difference!

Many new online marketers are joining programs and
sites that claim to 'mentor' people to success, So is
'Planetsms Digital Monthly Mentorship'
any different to so many that don't provide value,
Or is it one of the few that do?

The first thing I noted from reading his site is that
John Thornhill, known on ebay as planetsms, isn't just
promoting it as another 'make money from ebay' type
of product. He does use his ebay id as part of his
credentials as a person qualified to teach others, as
well as the fact that he has authored some best
selling ebooks, and is an ebay powerseller.

What he says about 'the secret to success' being to
follow someone who is successful at internet marketing
can't be argued with, (provided they are teaching what
they know and do to make money on the internet).

This monthly membership goes a lot further than just
the mention of selling on ebay though. It claims to
teach exactly what John does to generate multiple
streams of income from the internet marketing arena
in general. The claims made on the sales page include:

A Digital Newsletter Delivered to Your Inbox Each Month
In which he claims to reveal methods he actually
uses to make money, and admits many of them are
not just from ebay.

Audio/Video Training
Which will show and 'walk us through' what he does
and the strategies he employs.

The Tools Required to Help You Succeed
He includes in the package the tools and private
label/ brandable material he says will be needed
for some one to start their own online income.

The Opportunity to Get Personal Help
Offering to have direct contact with subscribers/
members to help them where needed (but only
on a limited number basis) - so I would assume
this may be removed at some point?

A Monthly Question and Answer session
Promising to answer any marketing related questions

Further 'undefined' help
Offering to be flexible and help as needed with
other avenues of making money online such as list
building, product creation, sales page building and
help with ebay listings.

And Also....
Almost Guaranteed Income.
Where he is offering to promote members products
to his subscriber base, in order to help generate them
some sale. (I note he does have some small print
in there - only promising to promote appropriate
products).

This presumably covers him against any obligation
to promote poor quality or non related products?

Finally his price for membership is set at $10 per
month. (this is where I believe he differentiates
himself from many mentoring programs I have
seen - most go for the higher end price ticket - this
does seem exceptional value if he lives up to his
claims).

For which he also offers a money back guarantee
(presumably with it being a clickbank product - he
will have had to offer such a guarantee). Never the
less it is comforting that one can 'Try' him out without
risk or fear of loss, knowing that if he doesn't provide
quality and value he would soon be out of pocket.
Please See the Site HERE.

So that's the sales page and claims outlined, with a
few comments from myself where appropriate. As a
brand new service - time will tell if he continues to
provide value...

But I can say this much:
I have had access to his first Video Newsletter and can
confirm that he does go into great detail of a strategy he
is currently using. He gives details of exactly how to set
it up for maximum profit, with a step by step follow along
video that any new marketer could easily follow. Clear
and simple and with a full explanation of where he did
what he did, how to do the same etc.

He then went further than expected and showed exactly
how much income and sales this strategy provided from
his own business and also for comparison, a new marketer
with a smaller list and less experience and no product of
his own.

I do believe this will help many and was sufficient to
justify the first months subscription without any of the
other benefits quoted.

So my conclusion so far is that I genuinely believe this
could be a valuable resource and it certainly looks as
though planetsms digital monthly mentorship will be
a keeper for me.

My recommendation would be to join and try it out.
With the money back guarantee the small $10 risk is
removed. I believe new and intermediate marketers
will find value and benefit in the first issue. And
surprisingly - even many of the more experienced
marketers are not using this particular strategy!
So I wouldn't rule it out assuming the low price
would mean there was nothing a successful marketer
couldn't learn. Go and See the Sales Page!

Please come back and post your comments if you
