    Everything about it screams MLM scam to me. Starting with that advert on Gumtree!

    I can find nothing on the internet that doesn't read like evangelising copy posted by 'agents' of the scheme concerned, none of which explains with any clarity exactly what it is one is supposed to be buying/selling. Never a good sign.

    Definite MLM scam.

    Anything that offers 100% commission has to be questioned - If 100% of the purchase price is being paid in commission then what ever is being sold is actually worthless.

    I'm sure an MLM sheep (likely a first time poster) will be along shortly to big the scheme up.

    I dont think we can generalise 100% commission products as worthless as its just a way to attract lots of affiliates.

    It does follow the structure of an mlm in quite an aggressive way which doesnt give a great impression tbh but... the only thing that seems different to me is the product is actually useful!!!! It does have some ideal components to it that anyone who runs an online business or and offline company who wants to market online. Individually these would cost way more than the package offered individually.

    My only concern is how robust this platform is and will they be around in the next 5 years like some of their individual competitors. To safeguard that I would backup the email list and blog posts for clientsor encourage those u offer this to to do so on a regular basis but other than that the actual tool look good. If you want to promote it its worth testing for a while.

    Having said that the guys I know that make good money from this really know how to drive traffic to it. The 100 commission is on the first month then u get 50 on the monthly recurring which is why ppl promote it so heavily and some scammy "marketers" are making it look cheesy which may backfire on the company soon but I see why they do it as their marketing costs are heavily reduced.

    HTH would be good to hear how it goes :)
