Detailed Overview
1-2-3 Power System is basically about teaching how to market. The program covers everything from email and or fax blasts to reverse mailings, and direct mail. This product is a physical product, not an ebook. The content inside the product is decent including the information contained in the manual, quick start guide, and CD according to the majority of those who have posted comments about it online. The presentation is pretty basic though according to some buyers they expected it to look as professional as some of the Websites advertising it appear to be. There are many different Websites advertising it because basically anyone who purchases the system can turn around and become a distributor of the program, set up a Website and sell it. There is not just one person or company selling the 123 Power System but many.
The program shows you first how to get immediate cash to use for advertising purposes. Next, the program shows you how to use the money you just earned in the first step to use the power of the Internet or your fax machine to generate $1,000 to $4,000 in a week. Step 2 does not involve SPAM but opt-in leads. It also uses broadcast services that you pay for using the money you made in Step 1. The program then talks about mailing letters each week in order to make money. It is explained that there is a "twist" and the details of the twist are explained in the material you receive.The twist, if used properly, will able you to send out letters without paying money out of your pocket. The twist involves sending out information or a product using the mailing system and this is known as being a "mail-order business".
One downside for those who are used to instant gratification is that because it is a physical product and must be mailed to you, there is a waiting period between the times you pay for the program and when you receive it. It states on the Website that it will take 3 days to mail the program after payment. Individuals that are used to downloadable Internet marketing products will probably be impatient and not like the waiting.
Many Internet marketers either know already or are learning about marketing products and services online, 1-2-3 Power System teaches you how to market both online and offline.
