The website for Home Wealth Solution looks eerily similar to several other internet marketing courses previously reviewed on this site. Just like its predecessors, this site is also being promoted through several well crafted fake news sites.
These are the exact type of “news” sites that the FTC has targeted and is in the process of shutting down. These sites fail to properly indicate that they are in fact promotional pieces designed to sell products and not actual news sources.
Career-reports.com is the website promoting Home Wealth Solution, by profiling a Florida Mom, Katie Jenkins, who uses Google to earn $379 a day. The website and everything on it is completely fabricated, and similar versions of Katie’s story have been used to sell hundreds of different get rich quick schemes.
So What Is the Home Wealth Solution?
Based on the earnings screen shots from their sales page, it seems that they are selling an affiliate marketing course, where the basic concept is to promote other people’s products for a commission.
This is a popular method for making money online, however it is no where near as easy as they make it seem. According to them, “all you need is basic typing skills and internet access…” This is purely a sales pitch. If you want the real truth behind affiliate marketing, just log on to any internet marketing forum to read about people’s real daily struggles trying to make it in this business.
Is Home Wealth Solution a Scam?
While it may not be an outright scam, since they do claim to offer a 60 day money back guarantee, there are definitely a lot of red flags and enough warnings to stay away from this program.
The fact that it’s sold at such a low price point generally means that they’ll try to hit you with some up-sells down the line. The main thing to watch out for here is that while the main program is hosted on a 3rd party payment processor, be careful of any up-sells that would put you at the mercy of Home Wealth Solution for a refund.
Update: This program is also being sold under the name Online Income Solution.
If you have purchased the course and need to contact someone for support or to request a refund, you can do so at [email protected]. Or if you want to go straight to the payment processor you can do so at the Plimus customer support page.
When you pay your initial joining fee and advance to become a member, all sorts of interesting things are flashed in front of you ie. VIP status..that costs another $16.After you go from page to page they dangle carrots in front of you suggesting "this is a one and only time offer ,made available to only a few new members"...the price normally $197 reduced to $97!I did not click that box,but when I proceeded to the next page the same "offer" became $67...I forwent that also...and low and behold it reduced again to $47..saying I only had 24 hours to accept this amazing offer which would enhance my earning skills on their "home wealth solution" earning scheme.
DO NOT BE FOOLED....IT IS MOST DEFINITELY A SCAM. The reason I fell for this,fortunately,not hook line and sinker,was that I received an email from some one I know. It read like this....
21/08/2011- my thoughts have been scattered lately I've come to realize that money never sleeps I was able to get back on my feet with this! http://winiarnia.cba.pl/GrahamKing25.html I am headed right for the top you are cut out for this did you know there was internet money like this?
When you click on the link you arrive at this advertising page and follow the link to join from there...My friend informed me later in the day that her email account had been hacked..but it is now back to normal...So be warned. It is a scam.
Having said all that, the hundreds of pages of training materials and training videos I had access to were well worth the $20. It is all information I could have slowly accumulated for free, but it would have taken a long time. If you're intelligent and willing to diligently study their training materials (this requires honest introspection)and looking to start a real website then there are some great tips.
I have no stake in this - really - but this is how you do it on the cheap... get your primary domain registered (godaddy or whoever, it doesn't much matter - don't spend more than $15 for a years registration) then let that site sit. Go to a site like wix (or others like it) and they let you set-up a site development area where you can build your site for free until you're ready to publish it to your primary domain. The building tools are all graphical and easy to use so no programming skills required, but it's still challenging and not for the stupid.
The catch is that you have to use wix as your host, but their rates are competitive (there are other sites just like them, just be sure you know their monthly hosting fees so you don't get ripped off when it's time to go live and after your site is all built). You don't need HWS for any of this and in fact are better off without them. Regarding finding affiliate programs and signing up with them, all you need to do is google "affiliate marketing programs." ClickBank, CommissionJunction, Share-A-Sale, Linkshare are just a few (and of course there's also google's affiliate program - it's the best, but your site has to meet with their approval, ie, a real site with real content not just a sell you junk site).
Best of luck and God bless. Sorry they took advantage of you.
