Real Secrets Weber Bonus and Email

[Bibliophage]

Today I received an email asking me to opt-in as part of my Membership. I checked with their Admin to make sure it was legit.

As soon as I did, a nice looking book appeared in my in box - the instructions to the Weber Bonus as promised.

Just wanted to let fellow RS members know that the request is legit, and if you didn't see one, let their people know.

[Don Hendrix]

If you are an original subscriber to RS, do not miss this. An unpublished Michael Weber routine is worth its weight in gold.

[J-Mac]

You got a book?!

After confirming all I got was an email thanking me for confirming. Darn, story of my life.

The bonus item (the instruction booklet -- the props are coming) is superb. It represents why I subscribe to Real Secrets, something which is a stimulus to further thought in a direction I would not have thought of myself.

I sit at my computer virtually all day doing research for a book I'm writing. After a couple of hours, my eyes start to cross and I want to jump out the window. Instead, I can take a break and fool around with what I received from Real Secrets, then return to the main project at hand.

How much is that worth to me per year? It's easily worth the Real Secrets sub price to me.

Them every once in a while, I get an e-mail from Bob Farmer, another subscriber, with an idea or variation and that's another bonus.

Excuse me -- I have to get back to that book I'm working on.

I received what I thought was a bogus email as well. Checked and discovered it was legit, then answered the link and received the book. Great! I can't wait for the props in the mail!

[Bill Mullins]

I didn't even get an email confirming that I confirmed.

[Marco Pusterla]

I haven't received any email yet... not even in the junk folder... nada, nothing, zilch, niente...

If you're a charter member, I would suggest emailing RS directly if you haven't yet--they typically answer very quickly.

[Jeff Shriver]

I had the same problem with the link on the email. I contacted customer service and within a short amount of time they sent the file. Also had a problem logging into the site. Again contacted customer service and got a quick response. I wish more companies would handle issues the way RS does. Looking forward to the coming year.

[Richard Kaufman]

RS has tremendously improved their customer service during their first year. So for those of you who have not received the email, or link, contact them and your problems will be dealt with rapidly.

[Tom Gilbert]

I decided not to subscribe for year two and contacted RS. My bonus is being sent out.
Richard is correct, great customer service.

[erdnasephile]

Bonus arrived today--just terrific! (Plus, something in this package shows that RS really does listen to it's customers!)

[Jeff Shriver]

Bonus item got to PA today. Nice, really nice. Thanks RS.

[J-Mac]

Uh-oh...

Anyone else notice that the Real Secrets web site is gone? Instead there is a "Register 4 Less" domain parking page saying "Welcome to the future home of 'realsecrets.org'"

Did they mention anything about moving to a new domain? Otherwise it appears that they might have neglected to renew the domain registration.

I got a letter today informing me of some changes, so keep an eye out for it.

Whois says the registration is good for more than a year ahead.
They probably do some work on the site and have forgotten to put up a "under construction" sign.

[Kelly Rusk]

I emailed Mr. Trono about it and he said they are re-vamping the site. They were training on it this week and it will be back up soon.

[Richard Kaufman]

Big changes coming, many directly in response to members feedback.

Sadly, the bonus item for year 1 members has not yet reached the Genii's home.

[J-Mac]

Well, it's good to hear that they are making changes for the better, but it would certainly be appropriate for RS to notify its members that they were doing so. After all in a recent broadcast email they stressed that all members should be checking the site at least twice a month "...to take advantage of ideas, bonuses, and instruction sheets."

They should have expected confused members when they suddenly shut down the site without any warning whatsoever, and leave it showing a typical domain registrar message that usually indicates that a site no longer belongs to the previous owner.

Poor communication, in my opinion.

Thank you.

All depends on how you see things. If you are negative any small detail will be taken as something unpleasant and you spend a crazy energy for nothing. If you are positive that kind of detail will remain a detail.

Personally it does not make me confused to find a website with maintenance or error page, on contrary I'm happy because it means that there will be an update. So I wait and I connect later, and I enjoy, simply. We are all adults, we can wait a few hours without needing that RS sending us an email to tell us to be patient. Do not wait for someone to tell you what you have to do. You can do yourself, in the case here ... waiting.
And I do not feel stressed either by the fact to have to check the website at least twice a month...

Change the way you see things and you'll see, it will be more pleasant.

Just got an email with a download link. I checked and it was real. I clicked on the link and about 120 seconds later had something really amazing and unexpected that looks like a great new direction for RS.

Who else got what I got?

Are you talking about the Bonus routine for charter subscribers or something else altogether? (I haven't gotten any emails from RS today).

[Bibliophage]

This was an email that arrived around 5:00 NY time.
It contained some simple instructions and a link.
The link took me to a complementray check-out for a product.
I installed the product and something "appeared" inside.
I looked inside the something and clicked and ended up going through checkout for a second complementary thing.

And this last thing was full of magic, including a secret about something we all overlooked a year ago.

If you are a member and did not get the email, check in with them. I think this is something you will have to have in the near future.

[stereo]

I Don't receive anything on my email for the moment. I hope to receive it soon. It looks great, exciting and mysterious regarding what you post !

AHA!!!!! Just got the email--this is a cool development! (It's has nothing to do with the Bonus--this represents an important change)

[Nooner]

Wow. Lots of goodness in the email sent out today. This shows that they are listening to the feedback. I could at least three things people have raised concerns about recently that are resolved with this single update.

[Richard Kaufman]

Nothing for the Genii.

[Doug Thornton]

I have Norton security on my computer. It keeps telling me the link is unsafe.

Gee, how I get annoyed with computers. I want to go back when we had just a dozen TV channels, no one walked staring into their phone and when you went to the movies, it was a double feature.

(Sigh.)

[Don Hendrix]

Go on the new RS site with very little trouble. I believe this will be a great improvement. One question got me on. I think you'll like it,

[Jackie Huang]

I also received the email link. and installed the app on both my Mac and iPad. This is a major improvement.

As for the contents, you will get #14, an #13 update, and a bonus update.

I'm very impressed with the new directions.

[Kelly Rusk]

Add my name to the "very impressed" list. I had a little trouble getting started, but that's due to my being inept with computers. I'm very interested in how this evolves in the coming months.

[Richard Kaufman]

I got the email, installed the thing, and now cannot find ANYTHING.
What a frustrating and overly complicated process.

[kevinm]

Looks like we can't download the new stuff. Or, can we?

[Richard Kaufman]

Well that's what Revizzit is all about: you pay, but you can't download.

If you're offline, you're screwed.

If you want to sit in the living room in your comfy chair and read without your damn laptop or iPad, you're screwed.

If you want a real piece of paper, you're screwed because you can't print anything out.

I still can't get it to work.

[Bibliophage]

Head Genii, not true!

Today was my first time downloading and using this but here is what I know from an hour of use:

I can print out the instructions to #14 (I am holding them)

I can read every page offline (even with no WiFi around)

And I can choose which issue and when to activate it so my IPad memory is not totally dominated by 6 issues of two magazines

And I know this because I got it to work like the other happy campers above.

Send them a message and I am sure they will walk you through it.

I love it.

[Richard Kaufman]

I'm glad to hear you can download and print the material. That makes me happy.

Personally, I have no evidence of that since I can't get the Real Secrets material to appear on my homepage, or wherever the hell it's supposed to appear after you've added it to your cart and checked out.

[Evan Shuster]

I had a similar issue re: seeing the info in my Revizzit account. I then realized that there was more than one step to completing the order (you need to "review order" and then "submit order."

Now I see it in my account, but I am waiting for a reply to my email regarding instructions on downloading and printing the material. I have always received quick replies to each of my customer service questions, and I am perfectly confident that I will have the instructions in hand soon.

Change is always a beast at first, but this will likely be second nature to all of us soon enough, and this is certainly a more secure delivery systeme for the Real Secrets team.

[Richard Kaufman]

Thanks, Evan, you were able to explain in one sentence what the RS team seems unable to explain in various emails.

[Richard Kaufman]

Bibliophage, how did you print it out? The download button is disabled and there is no print button.

[Kelly Rusk]

I can see and read everything, but I haven't figured out how to print from there yet. What is the formula??
