Quick facts about Cell Phone Cash system

Name: Maverick Coaching – Cell Phone Cash
Creator: Mack Michaels, the owner of a money making club called “The Maverick Money Makers”
Price: $24.97 per month (this was the price when I purchased it in Oct 2009)

The purchased product is the access to the Cell Phone Cash’s membership area. There are 7 training modules spreading over a 7 weeks’ period, as you can see in the screenshot below. All of the modules follow the theory – practice structure: first the method is talked about in general (theory part) and then the demonstrations show you how to implement that method, over his shoulder (the practice part). There are 7 weeks of modules, however you are given only module 1 at first, the next module is only unlocked 7 days after.

After watching most of the videos, I realized that Cell Phone Cash is not only about promoting information products, it’s also a branding building and publicity tool. From here I have thought of some other ways to make money from this system, besides affiliate marketing.

The contents of Cell Phone Cash


There are 7 modules of video training in this course. Each week has several video training videos. A list of video training modules are listed below:
Week 1
Video 1 – What you will learn
Video 2 – Understanding the mindset
Confirming that cell phone marketing is a new trend, like internet marketing on the 90s and this way of marketing has huge potential.
Video 3 – Analyzing the industry
He instructs how to identify the customers’ demand and needs on cell phone, and an overview on how to do keyword research.
Video 4 – Discovering the Proven methods
This video goes deeper into doing niche research. He also shows how to use Youtube in niche research.
Video 5 – Making money in 48 hours
Only in the 5th video that Mack Michaels starts to talk about the actual method. He outlines the actual business model here. Basically the model is: find an offer – create the message – launch message on mobile networks – monitor and make changes.
Video 6 – Demonstration for analyzing the industry
Video 7 – Demonstration for discovering proven methods
Video 8 – Demonstration for making money in 48 hours
The demonstration are the longer versions of the previous videos. He talks in depth about each topic. As the audience of cell phone marketing is very wide, he was trying to point out the niches that appeal to a big variety of people, in particular from Clickbank marketplace. The 8th video is the longest, it shows step by step how to work with the system, starting with the very basics, for example signing up for Clickbank, to signing up in the mobile marketing network and setting up an ad. There are many ways to do mobile marketing and in this Week 1 he only talks about one of them. In this module on Clickbank and one mobile marketing network are dealt with.

Even though this first week’s videos reveal a completely new way to earn money, there are some flaws in it. Firstly the information in this first week is too basic, if the learner jumps in right here, he will lose money. Clickbank has often too long sales pages and the cellphone readers will lose interest in such long text. Secondly the buying and getting the product through Clickbank is too complicated for cell phone users, people are often hesitant to take out their credit card information on their computer screen, let alone a cellphone.

Week 2
Video 1 – What You Will Learn
Video 2 – Choosing Your Offer
In this module he’s stressing more about the importance of choosing the right offer. The video 2 is the one that I see a lot of sense in it, which gives a list of criteria an offer should have to be a suitable one for cell phone marketing.
Video 3 – Proven Success Paths
Most of these proven success paths are quite common and nothing new about it. However the third item is definitely new to the internet marketing community and Mack Michaels claimed that he made the most money in this third method.
Video 4 – The Long Hard Road
Create your own product
Video 5 – The Short Easy Road
Video 6 – Demonstration For Finding Offers
Good website to find a big variety of offers (roirocket.com), these offers mostly are not products like Clickbank but offers that pays out much smaller but requires a lot fewer actions from the cell phone users.
Video 7 – Demonstration For Creating Your Campaign
The mobile marketing network is still the same like week 1. But other ways to monetize in different way.
The second module basicly repeats the first module, but in a more advanced way. So what lacks and is flawed in module 1 is fulfilled in module 2. In fact I think it’s quite annoying to give this information in week 2, when people already lost some money due to the too plain information they get the week before.

Week 3 He called this “Ninja level stuff”
Video 1 – What You Will Learn
Video 2 – Defining Your Target Audience
Video 3 – Analyzing Trends
Video 4 – Spying On Whales
Video 5 – Developing Creative Ad Copy
Video 6 – Demonstration For Trend Analysis
Video 7 – Demonstration For Our Top Tools
Video 8 – Demonstration For Creating Copy
Mack talked very deeply and many times about doing research on your target audience, including trends, demands and behaviour of the audience and which region to promote your offers. It must be a strong point you have to consider in your campaign. I can see this is serious marketing tasks, that you have to put in some time and work. How to copy and learn from the “advertising big boys” is also discussed again in this module. The demonstration is an overview about how to use all the websites to find the trends (there are 6 websites in order to find out about this) and to find keywords for your campaigns. Mack Michaels also showed how to create good ad copy and gives examples of good headlines.


Week 4
Video 1 – What You Will Learn
Video 2 – Understanding Networks
Video 3 – The Largest Ad Network
Video 4 – Best Marketing Methods
Video 5 – Demonstration For AdMob Interaction
Video 6 – Demonstration For AdMob Setup
Video 7 – Demonstration For Creative Advertising
Only in this 4th module Mack Michaels talks about which mobile marketing networks are the best and how to choose one and the advantages of advertising on iPhones. The video 4 is the best video of this module (or the whole course) when he explains the best marketing methods that he has tested. In this video, he says that direct linking to an affiliate blog/website from cellphone will result in failures. Again, this should have been spoken about right from Module 1. There are 5 methods talked about in this video and sending people to a landing page is the “last resort” according to Mack Michaels. He claims that the first 3 methods are the ones that he made 90% of his cellphone marketing commissions. This module also shows how to set up ads for each marketing method.

Week 5
Video 1 – What You Will Learn
Video 2 – Proven Concepts
Principles that make your ad stand out and irresistible and can be applied in any campaigns.
Video 3 – Organizing Your Offers
Video 4 – Loading Your Offers
Video 5 – Monitoring Your Offers
Shows how to adjust the cost-per-click rate and how to work with your budget.
Video 6 – Demonstration For Proven Concepts
Very useful tips on how to apply the principles talked about in video 2 into reality.
Video 7 – Demonstration For Organizing Your Offers
Video 8 – Demonstration For Monitoring Your Offers
There is no new or revolutionary information in this module, mostly practice stuff (organising and monitoring the progress of your campaigns).


Week 6
Video 1 – What You Will Learn
Video 2 – Systematizing Your Tasks
Video 3 – Finding Outsourcing
Video 4 – Screening Companies
Video 5 – Time Compression
Video 6 – Demonstration For Systematizing
Video 7 – Demonstration For Screening
This module is mainly about how to make your daily tasks systematic and then outsource the work to free up your time. Some issues about outsourcing abroad are also discussed. Personally I think this section is interesting and useful as I am thinking about outsourcing to some cheaper countries, especially the demonstration part. However the best part of this module is when he demonstrates how to systematize everything. He creates a list of tasks that one has to follow when implementing the Cell Phone Cash system.

Week 7
Video 1 – What You Will Learn
Video 2 – Advanced Techniques
Video 3 – Strategic Planning
Video 4 – Reverse Engineering
Video 5 – Five Figures In Five Steps
Video 6 – Unlimited Access
The advanced techniques are claimed to be ‘most profitable’, ‘most necessary to apply in cell phone marketing’. This video 2 is very useful, however this information was kind of repeated from the previous videos, so if you pay attention to all the details Mack Michaels talked about before, you know all of this stuff already.


Pros and Cons of Cell Phone Cash:

Cons: The organisation of the course is not logical and convenient for the learners. A lot of information is repeating and conflicting each other. Mack Michaels seems to realize these flaws also and has warned people about products that don’t convert and products that do in a reddish box below the video.
The structure of the course is not clear and even though plentiful information is presented, it’s not presented in a way that learners can look back and easily find. The whole course could have been combined into a big one and structured differently. It is also very frustrating to wait for 7 days to see another module.
The fact that Cell Phone Cash is a recurring billed product ($24.97 per month) was mentioned only once in the sales page, which makes many customers mistook that it costs only $24.97 for access of the course. However in real life, in order to see all of the modules you need to pay $49.49 (2 months of membership).

Pros: Compared to a lot of internet marketing courses that claim to be revolutionary and new, Cell Phone Cash is really an innovative and “off the beaten path”. It’s packed with a lot of useful information that can be used not only with this system but also with internet marketing in general. After going through 7 weeks of training materials, I did learn a lot about cell phone marketing, as well as how to attract and convert visitors into buyers.

In conclusion and tips for Cell Phone Cash users

Maverick Coaching’s Cell Phone Cash overall is a useful course and a new and innovative marketing method. It’s definitely not a scam. However the price should only be $24.97 for the whole course, not per month. Because that’s what it’s worth. You can make money with Cell Phone Cash, I confirm. And this is a new and not yet saturated method. However it requires a lot of market and offer research. These are the 2 most important aspects of this system. This is not a system that you only slap a few keywords and advertising lines and expect it will bring you a fortune. On the contrary, you will fail and lose money faster than you can imagine. This method is only for carefully planned and well-researched campaigns.

TIPS: – If you don’t want to spend almost $50 for the whole course, cancel your membership after the 4th module is unlocked. All the essentials of Cell Phone Cash are presented in these 4 modules already. The rest are only repeating information and how to expand this business by outsourcing, which you can live without.
- DO NOT attempt to start any campaign before you have completed 4 first modules. Watch these 4 modules at least twice before you start anything.
- Try with a small amount of advertising money first, like $10-$20, to test if the niche is profitable and your ad is converting.
- To get 20% off the price, when you are on the salespage, just click the “close” button on the top right of your browser. A box will pop-up, offering a 20% discount like this.
