Here is how I made close to $18,000 in less than three weeks. This is my first month selling digital product. Pretty much I learned all about digital marketing in one week. I created a course to make it more simplified for the average person. So this course is 499. It’s one time. There’s no hidden fees. There’s no upsells and you have lifetime access. What this course is gonna teach you is how to build your automated systems, such as email automation, setting up your landing page. You don’t have to build a landing page from scratch, we provide a done-for-you web funnel that you plug in play. And all you gotta do is just customize the website and that’s it. You don’t have to do it from scratch. So you can literally have your business set up in less than 24 hours and the next day start making an income. Second thing that it teaches you is how to build an infectious brand so you can create sustainability in your online business. The third thing that it has is master resell rights. This is my favorite part because if you’re a beginner and you’re wondering well what am I gonna sell, this is where a lot of people are having success even if they don’t have experience. Pretty much you purchase the course and now the course is legally yours and you can resell it 100 200 times over and make 100% of the profit. And that’s exactly how I’ve been able to make close to $18,000 in my first month.

Matt’s Review: 

Okay, so you buy a course that tells you how to sell a course on how to buy a course to sell a course to, and on and on. So definitely a pyramid scheme. Not quite exactly the same because you’re not giving a cut to the downline and so on. But you’re basically telling people the way to make money is to sell a course telling people how to make money by selling a course telling people how to make money. So in the end nobody’s making money really. Nobody’s doing anything except scamming each other out of the idea that what you wanna do is sell a course on how to make money. It doesn’t – you’re not adding any value to the world. You’re not adding any value to the people you’re selling it to. You’re just hoping that you got in early so there’s still a few suckers left out there to buy one of these courses and they have a few people left to sell that course to. But really you don’t care if they do or not as long as you got your money. 

The whole thing is just ridiculous. It’s again and that adds no value to the world. It doesn’t teach anybody anything useful. It doesn’t help anybody. It’s not a real business. It’s not sustainable. It’s not long-term. It doesn’t do anything good for the world. It just takes the $500 you just got scammed out of and says well at least you can turn around and scam other people and get their $500. So if that’s something that you wanna be a part of eh great. But I don’t think – it’s not a real business and I don’t think – most people are gonna have a tough time doing anything with it, because unless you have an audience of people to pitch it to, nobody’s gonna buy it. The only way you get in front of people is if you paid to send traffic to this page, which is gonna cost money, which is gonna take a big bite out of the 500 bucks that you get from each person that buys it. So it’s only gonna work for people already have an audience of people to pitch it to. And it’s only gonna work then if you don’t mind burning the people that you’re pitching it to. Because once they figure out what you’ve sold them they’re probably not gonna stick around after that. So I, yeah this is just a very disappointing kind of scammy product that people obviously have no problem pitching. But\ I think the long-term results are a whole lot of nothing.
