Too good to be true? The truth behind affiliate marketing courses

Показать описание

There are courses available that say you can be a high-earning affiliate marketer for as little as $7 — but is it too good to be true? NBC’s Vicky Nguyen reports for TODAY.

I am one of the people who bought an LM course a year ago. Now, I am not here to say who is right and who is wrong, but I have to say that when I spoke to my rep., who was selling me the course for $2500, not once was he pushy or sales. As a matter of fact, he asked if I could afford that $2500 at the moment and if it would put any strain on my family financially. I do not promote LM, nor am I in any digital marketing now. I am learning and educating myself before I jump into it. I think this segment was a little biased and made it worse than it is.

Thanks for having me on to talk about this. So many of these courses operate like MLMs, where the main thing they recommend you sell as an affiliate is the course itself. That's a big red flag. Another is if they don't offer refunds. Usually the best courses will offer a 30-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. No hoops to jump through to get a refund if you change your mind. It's especially important to look for that if it's a business model you're unfamiliar with. How will you know it's right for you until you spend real time going through the training materials?

There are a lot of courses like this. Digital courses are being sold in various industries. Some are very valuable and some are complete scams and they can be hard to differentiate.

I’m glad today show has a story on this. I see it all over social media and I wish I could only work 3 hours a day instead of 8. This seemed like a money grab to me from the beginning and didn’t buy into it.

from that $7 course I make a recurring income every month since last year, because I took what I learned and took the time upfront set everything up. NOw I don't do anything and still make recurring income. So I don't even work 2-3 hours for that money. I could literrally create reels saying I don't work Im an affiliate marketer, because when I scale this project I won't be working and will be making recurring income every month. So the reason those women are working 2-3 hours a day to make six figures is because they didn't out more time up front. Now David Sharp is probably not the most charming guy, but his teachings are valuable.

Just the same decades old, rehashed material and snake oil salesmen appealing to people's affinity for greed. 90%+ of these buying these courses make no real money. Do your research people

This just proves the old saying, *"BUYER BEWARE"!*

Guys, remember this is called MLM or Network or Pyramid marketing/scheme so avoid it, instead read some books to get years of expertise and experience from true experts in a few weeks maybe months...

It is possible BUT it takes time and a lot of effort. It is a full time business. The education can be done for a 50$ a month and you can step out any moment. Never pay a big amount upfront. And yes … more and more brands take affiliate marketing serious and offer you a fair affiliate program. Learn for free? It is only possible if you are technical, know wordproces, handle AI prompts to their maximum. Still you will be much better of being part of a community that guide you and share their experience.
