Pure Trim Shakes Reviews

Hi, I'm Monique and I wanted to give my unbiased reviews of the (formerly Awareness Life) Pure Trim Shakes.



The reason I say reviews (plural) is because I will be reviewing both the chocolate and vanilla flavors - I have not tried strawberry sorbet just yet.

I became interested in the Pure Trim Shakes because of the wholesome ingredients. I order them through a friend of mine. I don't know if I can or should give her name, but I guess that should be okay. Her name is Cherie.

Anyway, I also wanted to lose just a few pounds and wanted a meal replacement shake, but I wanted one that didn't have soy, as I heard soy isn't good for women. I also wanted it to be dairy free because dairy products give me gas. Sorry if that's tmi.

So, my friend told me about these shakes and I immediately wanted to try them. Here's my review of them:

How they taste:

I hope she doesn't get mad at me for saying this lol, but I'll have to admit, when I first tried them I didn't like them. I tried vanilla first and I blended it with just water.
It wasn't totally gross (I've definitely tasted worse) but it wasn't a total "YUM" experience either.

So I called Cherie a little upset and she told me to try blending it with a banana or even some blueberries. So, the next time, I did that. First I tried it with banana and ice and that was so much better. I also added a little extra vanilla to it and it was like a vanilla milk shake!
Then, I tried it with blueberries and fell in love with that!

Later, I tried it with strawberries (yum), then orange juice (yum), and then peanut butter and banana (double yum). That's my favorite, peanut butter and banana!

As one of Cherie's customers I got some recipes from her and one I also like is her apple pie shake. That one is really good too!

The chocolate is "ok", not really my favorite, though. I actually like it better when I use vanilla and add my own cocoa to it. I can tolerate the chocolate if I blend it with a banana or banana and peanut butter. But I prefer vanilla. You can do more with it. The little book that comes with the shakes sometimes has some recipes as well. But overall, I like that the shakes aren't chalky. They're pretty smooth in texture.

What's in them?

The ingredients list looks good. I can't post the whole list of ingredients here, but there's some really good stuff in the shakes. The only questionable ingredient is sucralose. I have heard mixed reviews on that. But I've been drinking the shakes for a while and I always feel good, never sick or anything like I've heard with some shakes out there.

Other than that, there's like 23 grams of protein (I think that's right, the box isn't in front of me) and 500 mg of calcium. I noticed my nails are getting longer. There's supposed to be some anti-stress ingredients but I don't know, I can't really tell. I guess I'm pretty mellow. There's just a lot of herbs and stuff in them, a lot of good for you stuff. I asked Cherie about the sucralose and she told me that the owner of the company said it's such a small amount that he doesn't even have to list it according to the FDA, but he does anyway to be honest. I can respect that. He also said that he tried it without and to use other sweeteners like stevia but it made the shakes taste awful. I told you that it wasn't that good by itself, at least to me because some folks seem to like them straight up, so if it was worse, then he did the right thing lol.

Do they really work to help you lose weight?

Well, I didn't need to lose a whole lot of weight, but I did lose a few pounds drinking two of the shakes a day and eating kinda healthy. They keep you really full and you pee a lot from drinking all the water they advise you to drink.

So overall, I think the shakes are pretty good. Better than a lot that I've tasted. I did taste the Body by Vi shakes once and the flavor of those are better than Pure Trim Shakes but I didn't like the ingredients, so I stuck with Pure Trim.

Well, I guess that's all. I hope you enjoyed my review of the Pure Trim Shakes.
If you want to order some, connect with my friend Cherie at www.gethealthycleanandlean.com!
Be sure and tell her Monique sent you! Maybe she'll give me a discount! lol :)

Using Facebook Groups for Marketing

So, you were seeking out…

How to Use Facebook Groups for Marketing

... and came across this article.

That’s WONDERFUL because you’re about to get a golden nugget on how to do just that!

So, have you ever joined any of those Facebook “marketing” groups where the owners actually
ALLOW people to come in and basically SPAM their group with their business opportunities?



If so, do you sometimes feel lost in the shuffle?

I am a part of a few of them and I know that when I “marketed” like everyone else, I sure did!  But I haven’t really done anything with them in a while.They kinda remind me of something we used to have back in the day called Free-For-All sites (FFA)I mean, you go to this particular webpage/site and it was SPAM CITY!  Links and banners plastered all over the place.
And depending on the site, on occasion you might run across adult sites on them. *whoa!*
And who was actually LOOKING at what was posted when everyone was posting their own thing, hoping it would get looked at! lolSame with Traffic Exchanges.But with TE’s, my marketing mentors taught me a little trick, which was basically to market a SOLUTION to the other TE users on how to BEST use TE’s.Is that confusing? lol

Okay, let me break it down like this…

While everyone and their mama was slamming their links, WE were taught to create a “splash page” that led them to a page where they would learn how they could get the most out of using Traffic Exchanges.  In other words, we were offering something of VALUE to the TE users that would ultimately lead them to whatever our program was.

So, in essence, the same concept can be applied when marketing Facebook groups.  Instead of posting promotional blurbs and links…Think about ANY little golden nuggets that are business or marketing-related that you’ve learned and share that instead.
(and if you feel that you don’t know anything, go read a book, watch a video or buy a course and LEARN something that will add to your value and skillset!)


BUT…

You don’t want to just post the nugget directly in the group!  You wanna make them “work” for it by sharing the tip in full detail on a blog post or video.  Then, share the link to THAT!Make sense?This way, you are standing out and apart from all the noise and if any of them are truly SERIOUS about having success in their business, they’ll take a look.Now having said that…I put this tip with a couple of others and break down how you can BETTER use those Facebook Marketing Groups here in my FREE mini-training video..

Get Response Autoresponder Tutorial: How To Set Up An Email Campaign

Get Response Autoresponder Tutorial: How To Set Up An Email CampaignHere are the basics of…

How to set up an email campaign inside of the Get Response Autoresponder:

  2. Go to the Current Campaign Menu on the top right of your account
  3. From the drop down menu, choose Create Campaign.
  4. Choose and enter in your new campaign name, keeping in mind some of these settings that you need to keep in mind for whenever you’re creating a name for example, such as only using alphanumeric characters, no spaces or special characters, and also the name must be unique. If another GetResponse customer is using the same name you chose, you’ll have to choose something else or you can try an alternative version of your originally-chosen name and then once it gets accepted it will be good to go and you will see it in your current campaign drop down menu.
  5. You’ll then want to modify the campaign settings where you can elect to make it so that subscribers have to confirm their subscription request, you can choose which email address you want your emails to appear to be coming from, and much more!
The video below explains and shows the process in more detail, so be sure to watch it if you need further clarification.
