Is Optin Voodoo FX Just Repackaged Crap?

I really didn’t want to rant tonight but I have just bought Optin Voodoo FX and bought the usual “must have” offers, namely Sales Voodoo FX and Traffic Voodoo FX. Optin Voodoo FX looked pretty good on their site, seemed like a handy piece of kit, and it was only $64 (Platinum blogging upgrade) $37 normal package, so what the heck, I bought it.

Anyway, after my initial payment ($64) came the must have traffic voodoo and sales voodoo, well guess what, i bought those as well, geez, how could I refuse?! I was on a roll…honest…it had nothing to do with the overhyped sales crap…really…no kidding…LOL…and just to keep you on track, this cost me an extra $77.

 The story so far…I bought Optin Voodoo FX which is quite a cool list building widget (more on that later), Sales Voodoo FX which is tracking software and Traffic Voodoo FX which is a website builder…apparently.

Now Optin Voodoo is pretty good, but not great, I should have know just after I bought it that there were flaws in the program.

 You see, just after you pay for optin voodoo fx you are redirect to a page were you can buy the “must have” traffic & sales voodoo fx, however, where this super software/script was supposed to put my name, all I got was, “Hi {NAME}, can you see how awesome this software is, now buy the addons {NAME}” blah blah blah.

Geez what was I thinking, they even rambled on for about three pages why optin voodoo fx is so cool and why I would be a marketing, traffic pulling wizz with the upgrades etc even though their primary script kept calling me “{NAME}”, and they reckon that studies have shown that inserting someones name into a sales pitch increases sales and the people won’t notice the personal touch, which I can’t argue with. except I’m called Neil not {NAME} lol.

The “must have” traffic voodoo fx is supposed to be some awesome website generating software, I’ve messed around with it for ages and have come to one conclusion….total crap!

Sales voodoo fx is link redirection generating piece of kit, which I haven’t bothered to test but did play around with it, I ain’t impressed, or maybe I’m just sore I fell for the sales pitch!

Verdict:- Optin Voodoo FX, is OK but don’t bother with buying sales voodoo or traffic voodoo which is Sonic Page Blaster http://sonicpageblaster.com/ ($97) repackaged with a great sales pitch, but it ain’t a “must have” product like they would have you believe, so forget the addons there are better products on the market that do the same and then some.

It’s a shame these products doesn’t don’t deliver, I’m a sucker for stuff that saves my time or makes my life easier, who isn’t? But you gotta love they way they market the product, no seriously, I’m not kidding, go to http://sonicpageblaster.com then go to Optin Voodoo FX, they are both selling the exact same product, sonicpageblaster is the original, optin voodoo is the repackaged version, forget the price, who would you buy from? Who’s got the great sales copy?

I can complain all I want about their product but I give full marks to their sales pitch, joint ventures and backend products pitch, absolutely top notch.

Neil, again you gave great info!

I actually saw through their sales pitch and didn’t buy. It sounded – yes, similiar to ‘Sonic Optin’ or whatever’s been re-pakaged and re-sold.

I have to agree though, their sales pitch and KILLER graphics were very good. Online sales copy should be made that way.

Have you seen the way James Jason sell his products for 5 cents? And another for $0 down (only for the first month) – can’t remember what’s his name.

I bought at least 2 of James’ products/ebooks and the upsell was only for the Resell Rights or extra “mystery bonuses”. Am sure many grabbed his offer cos I almost did, till I asked myself if I intend to make a living out of reselling. My answer was NO.

If you wanna resell stuff, then paying for the Resell Rights is definitely worth considering.

I haven’t bought any of James Jason’s products, don’t even think I’ve even heard of the guy – I recommend very little – I have bought alot of “must have” marketing products in the past – nearly all of them are a waste of money.

I only promote things I have actually bought and have found useful and value for money.

If some of these “Guru’s” spent as much effort on the actual product as they do their sales pitch the internet world would be a happier place to be.
