There are many scams similar to the way Work at Home University uses to promote their program and make it seem legitimate. Some of these scams have used the same fictional character named Kim Swartz. Be wary of these sites that look like real news. Typically, at the top of the page you will see the state where you reside along with the typical single mom to making a full time income online story.
At the right of the page you will see three steps that you have to fulfill. These scams will also use a form for you to enter your zip code so you see how many ‘positions’ there are available in your area.
What is Work at Home University?
Work at Home University is a scam affiliate marketing program. The training consists of videos and e-books that set you up for failure.
The sales page is loaded with hype claiming that you can make easy money working a few hours from home posting affiliate links on the internet which include Clickbank products and CPA (Cost per Action) offers. Michelle states that you don’t need any prior experience and by just following her proven method, you can make an immediate full time income from your home. There’s no clear explanation of the training and you have to pay $97 just to find out.
Work at Home University Scam Alerts:
1. Notice how it says in the headline, “Arizona mom makes…” This changes according to where you live.
2. There’s always three positions available– Even when I typed in a nonexistent area code. Also, in the world of internet marketing, there’s unlimited positions.
I entered my first name, e-mail and a fake zip code 99999. This is what I got
3. The pictures of Michelle Withrow, the testimonials and checks are all fake.
4. Work at Home University is also related to other scam sites including Simply Click To Profit, Stay At Home Revenue and Work At Home Revenue.
5. The sales page is overhyped promising that you’ll make hundreds of dollars per hour posting 15 links.
This is the amount of revenue it said I’ll make with the info I typed in
6. She down sells the product saying that it’s actually worth $197 but you can get it for $97. This is a tactic to get you to buy the program.
7. The ‘Free One-on-One Consultation’ with a success advisor and internet expert are set up to get you to talk to a pushy salesman to persuade you to spend thousands of dollars.
8. It has a 60 day guarantee– Often when a product offers this guarantee, it means that it’s low quality.
9. Waiver of Do Not Call List rights– Once you agree to the terms, third party partner companies will call and/or e-mail you with similar work at home opportunities.
10. The security seals on the order page are not valid because they aren’t click-able to a third party verification site.
11. There’s no such thing as a Search Engine Agent and you don’t need any kind of certification to get started online.
12.
Work at Home University has an F with the BBB for three filed unresolved complaints.
13. The comments section is fake.
Pros vs. Cons
Pros
- The training is okay, but it’s not worth your time or money.
Cons
- The program is ridden with upsells.
- It’s not organized. For example, when you click on Step 2 of the Getting Traffic training, there’s a numerous amount of overwhelming and outdated information. The content is made up of cheap PLR (Private Label Rights) content meaning that Michelle didn’t create the majority of the content and she’s setting you up for failure.
- Her link cloaking techniques can get you banned from forums and article directories.
- There’s too much red flags.
Work at Home University Complaints
Camille from WorkatHomeTruth.com says,
…You have to pay upfront about 170.00 before you can get a coach…[He] Wanted to know mortgage amount credit card balances, marital status, income and more…He sent me [an inappropriate]video … Can you believe this?… I was so upset no hesitation and canceled my membership then I contacted my coach which I could not get a hold of on voice mail told him what just occurred and said I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH YOU AGAIN! He never returned call. My money was refunded about a week later after I told them getting credit card involved and BBB. I also told the girl what happened why a refund, she said it’s happened before…What a hassle getting your money back…”
Tom from WorkatHomeTruth.com says,
Regretfully, I initially signed up with this…After getting two calls from a ‘coach’ setting a time for us to talk and he not honoring either, I made a call…and another guy answered and gave me some flam excuse as to why the guy did not call and said that he was a coach as well…He immediately got into his high-powered sales spiel and then I said, “hold on, as I thought that coaching was part of the deal.” He then made a switch in his pitch by saying that his company was hired by WAH to train people to be successful and then write a testimonial about their success. I said, that sounds like a bunch of BS because if the program was doing its job as they advertise, people would write their own testimonials, without paying you anywhere from $1-10K for you to train them and since you said that your company was hired by WAH, what is the name of your company? He said,” Advantage Education.” I said, Travis, don’t anybody from Advantage Education ever call me again! I then immediately sent in a ticket for a refund, but vaguely remembered that, as Mr. Schlegal said, they had a CONDITIONAL refund policy, so I had already resolved the matter in my mind, that I would never see my $97 again. They also had a $195 up sale when I was signing up that completely closed my mind of doing any kind of business with them…I was going to report them to the Atty. General’s office of Texas, the FTC and Visa. I told him that I would also make a somewhat positive post on this site about him settling the matter with me.”
Who is Work at Home University For?
This program is sadly targeted to single mothers and those who are new to online business.
My Final Opinion of Work at Home University
Making money online whether with affiliate products or with CPA offers takes time into learning and split-testing what works and what doesn’t. It’s never about posting links and getting paid within minutes. Work at Home University is a low quality training program that reals you initially to spend thousands of dollars. The people behind this program are internet marketing sharks who hide their true identity and fake the testimonials and income claims. They use a news site to make the program seem legit. Stay far away from program that promise overnight success stories.
Instead, join an online business community of like minded individuals that will teach you how to become an internet marketing expert.
