Instagram influencer, Chelsea Ouimet, advocates affiliate marketing as a promising avenue for significant online income. All it calls for, she asserts, is a phone, laptop, internet connection, and a little spare time daily for potential yearly earnings of $177,566.
Ouimet highlights the flexibility of such a digital role, making it attractive to those favouring a work-life balance over the traditional 9-5 job. However, she cautions that success doesn’t transpire instantly. It demands consistent effort, continuous learning, and strategic planning.
In the face of potential profits and the required commitment, Ouimet encourages aspirants to tread this path. For those finding the journey challenging, Ouimet offers personalised coaching sessions for an in-depth understanding of the affiliate marketing world.
A popular choice among millennials and Gen Z combating rising inflation, affiliate marketing can earn money through product or service promotions. While flexible working hours and potential high earnings make it appealing, the field does require a robust understanding of search engine optimisation, social media marketing, and content development.
Legendary Marketer, offering the ‘15-Day Business Builder Challenge’ for $7, promises considerable earnings for attendees. Despite some scepticism regarding the course’s legitimacy, most participants find the added value far more significant than the small investment. The course highlights it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme, but a map to potential wealth, given commitment and consistent effort.
Dissatisfaction has been expressed with the same platform, specifically their ‘Uplevel Blueprint’ program that costs $2,500. Customers, including Dana Gunning, Loretta Lynne, and Stacha Woessner, have voiced disappointment, as the promoted income boost seems to hinge on reselling the course at a $1,000 commission per sale — a practice that leaves many feeling deceived.
Lynne criticises the company’s model for not aligning with the concept of affiliate marketing depicted on its social media platform. She laments the focus seems to be reselling their course, rather than promoting brands as she’d initially anticipated. After expressing her concerns, she was told the business model had been transparent from the outset. Now she advocates for greater transparency in affiliate marketing platforms and cautions others to do extensive research before committing.
Legendary Marketer’s CEO, Dave Sharpe, endorses his course based on his personal transition from poverty to wealth. Nonetheless, the site’s fine print contradicts the advertised claims, warning that aspirants should anticipate “minimal to no results”. This conflicting information raises questions on the credibility of the course and leaves one to ponder if it offers a realistic chance for success or if it’s just another cleverly disguised scam.
