Astonish Review

Hey guys, and welcome back to Make that Sea Change. As you are probably aware, one of the main focuses of this site is to assist you in finding good ways to earn money online so that you can fund your own sea change in whatever fashion that may be for you. Those of you familiar with my work will also know that I like to point out what it good and not so good out there so you don't get burnt with the scams.

Hence, when I find a site that tells me I can make $103.23 every 60 seconds with 5 clicks then I am going to try it out. So with that in mind – welcome to my Astonish Review.

Ok, so there are two main things I want to check out here – firstly, can I really make $103.23 every 60 seconds? And secondly, is the $17 I paid for it worth the money?

For this review, I will run you through:

• What it is
• How it works
• Pros and Cons
• Cost
• My recommendations

Quick results

Can I make $103.23 every 60 seconds? – Potentially – if you have a good knowledge of the right programs to choose and a high traffic social media account – but not in the short term.

Is it worth the $17? – You can do everything that this program does for free via other platforms however for $17, the software is ok.

Do I recommend it? – As above – you can do it all for free elsewhere. Added to the fact that the training doesn't work then I would have to say not really this time.

I will elaborate more on all of this below…

Red Flags

Usually programs of this type with the sorts of headings they have used ($100 every 60 seconds etc.) come with all sorts of red flags and straight off the bat, there are so many of them here that if I wasn't looking to purchase for the purposes of this review then I would have just closed the tab and got on with my day.

But anyway, these red flags include:

• Long sales videos with lots of pitches but with no identification of what we are actually purchasing
• Fake testimonials telling me they made $1000's in the first month that they owned the program.
• Constant reminders that “I know you have been scammed in the past, but this is different – this is the real deal”
• A long story about how the speaker was broke and about to lose his house and marriage until he discovered this method.

Anyway, I paid my $$ so let's check it out…

What is Astonish?

Astonish is an online video ad creator that allows you to promote products from sites such as ClickBank, JVZoo and Warrior+ on Social Media. Users can choose from pre-selected products and then attach them to editable video templates to make commissions on any sales.

If I am being honest, I am sure this is a re-run of a product that I have reviewed previously however I just can't find it at the moment. It does however look very similar to Zest and Simplicitee.

What do you get?

So, with my entry level package (I did not purchase any upsells) I received access to the members area where I there are a number of options that I can work through. These are outlined as follows:

1. The first is access to the “Astonish $1k A Day Training!”. This will take you to your FaceBook messenger where you will choose a date for your webinar. Webinars such as this are generally there to give you a little information and then provide upsells.

2. The second is access my Astonish Software. I was required to create an account to access the Dashboard which I will run through below.

3. The final option provides a second chance to access the many upsells that are available – I will again discuss them later on.

Now, at my time of purchase, the training section was not working so let's run through the main elements of the Dashboard as I have worked them out below…

Dashboard

Ok, so before we begin, let's discuss the two types of affiliate marketers out there…

• The first creates a niche website on the one subject (fishing, dancing, food etc.) and writes posts covering all aspects of it with affiliate links off to the options discussed within the posts.
• The second is those who sell fast changing products and services from platforms such as JVZoo and ClickBank. Products are sold via social media and email lists and once exhausted, the marketer moves onto the next ‘deal' and so on.

This platform is designed to assist those working in the second option above.

With that in mind, we can look at the dashboard now and see a range of pre chosen products that we can select to promote via our videos. These are broken into three sections covering options from Warrior Plus, ClickBank and JvZoo.

The process to promote these products is as follows:

• Click on the Sales Page button to check out the product and see if it is something you would like to promote.
• If so, then click on the Grab Deals page to access the bonus options and apply for the affiliate program.
• Once approved, you can add your links to your chosen videos below.

Note: In my experience with these platforms is that at times, it can be hard to gain approval to promote the products if you do not have the ‘runs on the board' so to speak. I am hoping that this may be alleviated by the fact that the products are listed on this page however when you apply, make sure you are clear on how you are planning to do so – or you will be rejected. ClickBank does however list a lot of programs that auto approve applicants so this can be a good place to start.

Import Account

This section is where you add your FaceBook account details to allow you to upload videos once they are created.

Video Creator

Here is where you can start to create your social media videos based on the products that you have chosen on the Dashboard. To create your videos, you simply select a template of your choice – preferably one that relates to the product you have chosen – then customise the following:

• Images
• Text
• Elements (Shapes, Icons etc.)
• Audio files
• Layers and Filters

My Videos

This section lists all of the videos that you have created.

FaceBook Posting

Once you have created your videos, the FaceBook Poster allows you to upload your videos with your product links as either:

1. Multimedia Post
2. CTA Post
3. Carousel/video Post

There are also options on the Dashboard Menu to Livestream your videos and blast the links to your other social media platforms as well.

Messenger Bot

The Messenger Bot allows for the creation of auto messages within FaceBook for those who respond to your ad campaigns.

Do I recommend it?

If I am being honest, the product can assist you – especially if you are just looking to make some video ads. The video creator appears to work so for $17 I think if you were looking for a quick and easy way to promote your ClickBank products, then this may work for you.

That said, as with most programs of this type, you will not get anywhere with it if you don't have access to a social media account with a decent number of followers. There are upsells that apparently provide this but in my experience these are sketchy at best. And as above, if you understand the process then you could set all of this up yourself via Canva and FaceBook for free.

Now to the original sales pitch…

You will NOT have anything up and running in just 5 clicks – even of you have all of your background requirements in order (affiliate links and accounts etc.). And if you are completely new to this process then you may struggle with some of the concepts.

That said, I would certainly not call it a scam and if you are familiar with the single program side of affiliate marketing with ClickBank products etc., then this product could possibly be of assistance.

How does it compare to my #1 Recommendation?

As I have said, the program above can certainly be of assistance to those working within the single product world of online marketing – and more power to you. However if you are serious about building a solid and sustainable online business, then I recommend that you give Wealthy Affiliate a try. You will not earn money immediately and will not have a site up in 60 seconds… But in time you will have a solid, online money making business to call your very own.

Wealthy Affiliate is a comprehensive training, website building (WordPress editor included) and hosting platform that will guide you through the entire online business building process, including Social media and SEO in an easy to follow but comprehensive manner. And best of all, you can join for free and get access to step by step tuition with the tools to develop and host your very own website, help to identify a good niche, 24/7 support and access to some of the best affiliate marketing minds on the planet.

Note: If you make a purchase from this page, there is a very good chance that I make a commission from it – these commissions do not increase your sale price. I am not an affiliate of Astonish.
