PlanetSMS Digital Monthly Membership
Posted on | October 9, 2008 | No Comments
Earlier this week I posted a link to a free ebook that could help anyone looking to make money by selling products on eBay a chance to increase their profits by over 200% (check it out here).
Now for anyone who picked up a copy and put the teachings into practise, it won’t be long before you see results, but what if I told you that you could go one better by learning directly from an eBay expert, without the ridiculous costs usually associated with mentoring programs of this nature?
Well, if that’s piqued your interest, read on…
PlanetSMS Digital Monthly Membership
- A Mentoring Program With A Difference
Many new online marketers are signing up to programs and websites, or buying ebooks that claim to ‘mentor’ people to instant success, so is the ‘Planetsms Digital Monthly Mentorship’ any different to so many that don’t provide value, or is it one of the few that does?

The first thing I noticed while reading his site is that John Thornhill, known on eBay as planetsms, isn’t just promoting his program as just another ‘make money from eBay’ product.
What he does do is use his eBay id as part of his credentials as a way to reflect that he is a person qualified to teach others, partly due to the fact that he is a geniune eBay PowerSeller as well as the author of a number of best selling ebooks.
What he says about ‘the secret to success’ being to follow someone who is successsful at internet marketing can’t be argued with (provided they are actually teaching what they know, and do, to make money on the internet).
This monthly membership goes a lot further than just the mention of selling on eBay though. It claims to teach exactly what John does to generate multiple streams of income from the internet marketing arena in general.
The sales page describes what you get out of the program each month, and they include:
- A Digital Newsletter Delivered to Your Inbox Each Month
In which he claims to reveal the methods he actually uses to make money, and admits many of them are not just from eBay. - Audio/Video Training
Whch will show and ‘walk you through’ what he does and the strategies he employs. - The Tools Required to Help You Succeed
Included in the package are the tools and private label/ brandable material he says will be needed for someone to start their own online business. - The Opportunity to Get Personal Help
Offering to have direct contact with subscribers/members to help them where needed (but only on a limited number basis) – so I would imagine this could be removed at some point? - A Monthly Q&A session
During which he promises to answer any marketing related questions. - Further ‘undefined’ help
Offering to be flexible and help as needed with other avenues of making money online such as list building, product creation, sales page building and help with eBay listings. - And Also – Almost Guaranteed Income
Where he is offering to promote members products to his subscriber base, in order to help generate them some sales (he does have some small print in there – only promising to promote appropriate products, which is fair enough if you ask me). This presumably covers him against any obligation to promote poor quality or non related products.
Finally his price for membership is set at a staggering $10 per month. (this is where he clearly differentiates himself from many mentoring programs I have seen – most go for the higher end price – this does seem exceptional value if he lives up to his claims).
He also offers a money back guarantee, although with it being a clickbank product – he will have had to offer such a guarantee, but it nevers hurts to see it in print! It is always comforting that one can ‘Try’ him out without risk or fear of loss, knowing that if he doesn’t provide quality and value he would soon be out of pocket.

So that’s the sales page and claims outlined, with a few comments from myself where appropriate.
Time will tell if he continues to provide value…as the power of the internet will ensure that anyone dissatisfied with his coaching will be easy to find.
I can say this much – I have had access to his first Video Newsletter and can confirm that he does go into great detail about a strategy that he is currently using. He gives details of exactly how to set it up for maximum profit, with a step by step video that any new marketer could easily follow. Clear and simple and with a full explanation of what he did, where he did it, and how to do the same etc.
He then went further than expected and showed exactly how much income and sales this strategy provided from his own business and also for comparrison, a new marketer with a smaller list and less experience and no product of his own.
I do believe this will help many and was sufficient to justify the first months subscription without any of the other benefits quoted.
So my conclusion so far is that I genuinely believe this could be a valuable resource and it certainly looks as though PlanetSMS Digital Monthly Mentorship will be a keeper for me.
My recommendation would be to join and try it out, with the money back guarantee the small risk is completely removed.
I believe new and intermediate marketers will find value and benefit in the first issue.
And surprisingly – even many of the more experienced marketers are not using this particular strategy!
So I wouldn’t rule it out assuming the low price would mean there was nothing a successful marketer couldn’t learn.
