This Marketing Dashboard Review will give you the scoop on Marlon Sanders’ Marketing Dashboard.
If you know Marlon Sanders and his line of Dashboards, you probably won’t need much convincing.
The Marketing Dashboard was one of his earliest (I think it was his first?) Dashboard. It first came out in 2003 I believe, and it has been through a major update a few years back.
AAAAND: It has just been updated again! I just got my NEW version, so I’m now updating some of the things below!
Having dug it up again by logging in to my Marlon Products Membership site to review it, I noticed a couple of things:
Marketing Dashboard Review – What does it do?
The first thing you want to know is… what’s actually in there?
The Marketing dashboard is actually a soup to nuts product that guides you from starting a business all the way to making lots of money with your new product(s).
That covers a HUGE amount of territory. Which can make things a bit challenging.
I think it’s terrific as an overview product that guides you through the WHOLE process so you won’t forget crucial steps that all too many “gurus” leave out.
It also gives you information to help you implement those steps, much of it free (or as free trials). But some of those steps need a whole lot more info.
I mean, there’s a field that says “Get Traffic”! Hellooooo!
Another one says “Your Website”! Uhmmm. If you’re new to this, you’ll need a lot more info.
Or not. Since Marlon provides a ready-made website for you as a bonus!
And there’s not much about actually creating products after the 12 product survey, which got me totally stalled the first time I came across it (in the info dashboard, as a matter of fact).
But as you see in a bit, that’s probably not as big of an issue as it may seem. You DO need more info there.
On the positive side, you DO get the whole scoop on how things fit together, which is much more important at this point than the actual product creation, which you can get later, for example in the info product dashboard (see below).
The Marketing Dashboard Review – What else is needed?
What else will you need?
Hmmm. Here’s the scoop:
Some of the tools that are included in the OLD marketing dashboard are a bit long in the tooth, especially the free or low-cost traffic generating tools.
But it has been updated (and is still being updated as I type this – there were some spaces in the new dashboard that I expect will be filled with brand-new content, so you’ll be getting all the new stuff after all!
Marlon seems very partial to paid advertising, and is quite upfront about it. That’s fair enough, but following all the suggestions in his Marketing dashboard can add up. And if you’re not well funded, it can bring your internet marketing business ambitions to a grinding halt.
I haven’t had time to go through all the new stuff yet, but as I do, I’ll update this post. And for $20, you can’t go wrong – it’s worth that price many times over!
How to get the most from the Marketing Dashboard?
Here’s what I think:
1) It’s a Steal – Right Now!
Right now, the marketing Dashboard is a total steal! Normally, it’s $79, and right now, it’s about $19.95
It gives you the crucial and hard-to-find information on how to put together a whole business, so I recommend you grab it while the getting is good and the price is this low.
And after some chatting with Lisa in Support, I discovered that any new buyer will get the shiny new version, plus Marlon provides lifetime updates (I just got my new dashboard too!)
Plus, there are a ton of bonuses available right now. Some of them come from Marlon (good through Monday) and some of them come from ME!
You can find out about Marlon’s bonuses right here:
And if you invest in Marlon’s Marketing Dashboard right now, I’ll also throw in a few bonuses myself!
You can find out about those bonuses in my Marketing Dashboard Bonus post, which you’ll find if you CLICK HERE for Marketing Dashboard Bonus
As you’ll see, my bonuses are going to help you make the most of your marketing dashboard since they’re designed to complement Marlon’s dashboard.
Marketing Dashboard “Weaknesses”
Here are the areas that could stand a bit of improvement (or workarounds).
1) The dashboard can make building a business seem overwhelming.
Fortunately, there are workarounds, one of which is actually a bonus by Marlon himself – a quickstart teleseminar!
I will also include a bonus that will give you a quick way to start making money without having to go through ALL of the steps of the Marketing Dashboard first.
You can get started bringing in cash that you can then reinvest into some of the other dashboards and into advertising your products – or the affiliate products you’re promoting.
I think those steps are valuable and ultimately important and even necessary if you want a solid business, but there’s nothing wrong with a few shortcuts as you get going.
So on the plus side, be glad the marketing dashboard is so comprehensive and includes all those steps – they will help you make sure you’ve got your bases covered.
Too many online marketing products give you just a small piece of the pie, while Marlon gives you the whole enchilada! That comes at a price, but right now, with the price being about the price of a really big pizza, I’d grab it.
2) A few areas could use a lot more info
If you go through the dashboard and see that there’s ONE module called “Get Traffic,” you probably think that either that this module must be HUGE or woefully inadequate.
Well, it’s neither.
It is not that huge, and it does give you a good start. Besides, there are several other modules that provide information about traffic, from ad buying to other kinds of paid advertising.
But here’s the truth. Traffic really requires its own dashboard, and lucky for us, Marlon saw that too, and has created a dashboard just for getting traffic:
And that traffic dashboard is fantastic!
Still, in order to make the most of your traffic, you need to have a bunch of other things in place, and the Marketing dashboard provides that, from creating your product all the way to setting up the whole system for selling it on autopilot.
What about the Product Creation part?
Well, the product creation part is also a bit on the brief side. Mostly, Marlon helps you get ideas on what products to create and how to find out which ones to go for. As for the actual creation… Not so much.
And that’s because covering it extensively would have taken another whole dashboard.
Once again, lucky for us, Marlon has created the Info Product Dashboard:
And yes, I highly recommend it!
Plus, there’s a special that’s just started where you can get $20 off the Info Dashboard, and I’ll be writing a new post on it later today!
So the way I see it, the Marketing Dashboard gives you the overview and a way to put together a complete internet marketing business.
For the finer details, you will also want to get some of the other dashboards Marlon has created, specifically these two – the info dashboard above, and the traffic dashboard:
And then, there’s another useful dashboard – the Promo Dashboard, which was my absolute favorite until the Traffic Dashboard came out.
What’s the promo dashboard? Check it out here:
Anyway, get started with the main one, Marlon’s Marketing Dashboard, and then add the info dashboard to help you create a product and the traffic dashboard to get traffic to your offer.
Verdict of the Marketing Dashboard Review? It’s a BUY, especially if you can grab it at the current discount! But it’s even a steal at the full price!
And if you want the scoop on my bonuses…
