Jonathan Leger’s $7 Secrets Review
What should you expect from a $7 report on Internet Marketing?
Everything, and nothing. It depends.
Back in 2004 when I first bought my first ebook, it cost me $17 and the content was simply excellent. Fast forward to 2007, and $17 won’t even get you the TOC (Table of Contents) of an ebook.
Most Internet marketers today are trying to sell you the same information I paid $17 for in 2004, for anywhere between $97 - $997. The trend for the past year or so is to inflate the price, make it seem more valuable than it really is, and depend of the affiliate’s greed for big commissions to drive the product sales.
It has worked so far, but mostly for the gurus. And there are signs that people are getting tired of these ripoffs.
Now I bought a report from Jonathan Leger a few minutes back, which cost $7. The report is about 30 pages, and the main content of the ebook is this:
- Why selling cheaper is better and easier
- How to find out what people want and develop a quick report
- How to give affiliates 100% commissions and build a list
I’ve read a lot of Internet marketing books, so the content itself (for me) is nothing to shout about.
- The part about why selling cheaper is easier and more profitable (especially for the newbie) makes sense. If you’re selling at $7 you don’t need to be a master at writing sales copy, you don’t need big testimonials and you don’t need to offer bonuses.
- The part about creating “sell-able” reports is ok. I’ve read better, more complete stuff about creating hot ebooks with Alexis Dawes’s Desperate Buyers Guide. But of course Alexis’ guide costs more than $7.
- The part about building a mailing list by giving 100% commissions paid directly to the affiliate’s Paypal account is good. Jon says “A free report is not viral, but a $7 report can build you a massive viral campaign”. And I agree wholeheartedly, that’s why I stopped giving out free stuff some time back.
THE REAL GEM: JON’S VIRAL MARKETING AFFILIATE SCRIPT
With his $7 ebook, he’s also giving away the exact PHP script that you can download, edit and upload to your server to start your own viral marketing campaign.
With this script, you will not need to pay for or install any other affiliate program software to sell an ebook. It has:
- A sample salespage, thank-you page and download page included
- An auto-expiring download link (you can set the expiring time)
- Commissions will be paid directly to the affiliate’s Paypal account
- Affiliates can promote without signing up for an affiliate link (just a Paypal email address will do)
- Install the script on as many sites as you want
The script is very, very useful. All you need now is a website, and a short 20-30 page product you can sell. You don’t need to worry about anything else.
The only drawback: By default you have to pay 100% commissions. You can change the settings anywhere. So look at this as a tool to build a huge, profitable mailing list because that’s what it’s intended for.
Final verdict: I look at it as a $7 script that can help me double or triple my mailing list. From that point of view, this is insanely too good to refuse. I would pay between $40 - $70 to get a programmer to do that for me.

Hello, may I know the way to get your first ebook which cost you $17?
I had been looking for this script for quite sometime… and got a few people mentioning about it these few days… so, I definitely gotta have this one…
I also saw this promotion. I agree the viral aspect of it is a great way to build your list. Thanks for the review, it saves the time (which is extremely valuable)of having to study the report.

Hello,
I also purchased this report, that in itself proves one of the hypotheses of the report, that many people will purchase a $7 item because it is a small risk. I also agree the script is the most valuable part. I will get a few reports together and give it a try as well as start adding to my list with this method.
Hi,
I’ve been looking for some kind of review on this product ever since John’s email landed in my inbox yesterday.
Thanks alot!

Dear Gopalan…..Payapal.com kept saying TIMED OUT PLEASE LOGIN but i noticed that the payment page is still on easywordpress.com Can’t get the US$7 report script although I have my PayPal ready.
I’d just like to remind everyone, that while you can easily promote Jon’s product for $7, in the long run you should do your OWN product, get a website and autoresponder, and start building YOUR list.
Don’t forget that’s what the script is for - YOUR list.
hi gobala,
im trying to pay via paypal but it says ” session timed out ” after i’ve click ” PAY “.
Is there any other option that i can get this ebook?

Lol…if I change the email address of the link to something else, I can get the ebook for free
The payment script at the site has a major flaw. I’ve manipulated a lot of website payment systems but this on is the easiest!
Hi Gobala,
thanks for the review! Was tempted to buy initially when I saw another internet marketer promoting it.
But your review has made me more convinced! It certainly has the ability to help anyone build their list massively.
Thanks for sharing!
$7 for the report and the script is definitely well worth the money. Thanks for the recommendation, Gobala.
Nice recommendations and I`m on to it, gk.
