InternetIncomeUniversity.com is a relatively new website that promises to give you the tools and training needed to produce a work from home income using affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is a legitimate online business which consists of affiliates being paid for promoting and directing customers to purchase products from other sources. When customers purchase these products, affiliates earn a percentage of the sale.
So What’s the Deal With Internet Income University?
The basis of Internet Income University’s Fast Income Plan is simple. It starts with setting up a website, finding affiliate income streams, working with advertising, and offers training and support.
The basis of any online venture is a good website. Unfortunately, it’s also the reason that most people shy away from affiliate marketing, because it can be an intimidating task.
At Internet Income University, Kevin and Darin set your website up for you. You simply have to register your domain name and purchase hosting for your website, and they guarantee to have your site up and running within 24hrs.
Along with your website you will have access to a series of training videos and tutorials that will show you how to position your website in the online market place. You’ll learn what it takes to get visitors to your site and how to start earning commissions from your promotions.
They have also established a growing community at Internet Income University where members can get additional help and bounce ideas of one another.
What You Should Know
The best part about Internet Income University is that you can become a member for free, and utilize all the positive benefits and advantages of an affiliate marketing training program and community.
However, Kevin and Darin are also affiliates for all the programs and services you are being offered. This does not mean that these programs are bad, or that IIU is a “scam,” it just means that you have to be prepared to research the programs and services you are being offered.
Don’t assume that you need everything you’re being offered. As Internet Income University benefits from you partaking in their programs, they are going to offer you everything you could possibly need or want. You have to be able to determine whether or not those programs are right for you.
IIU just teaches you the steps to succeed. It is up to you to execute it. The more work (yes work) you put in, the more money you can make.
Yes, there is lots of free information in the form of videos ect but after that things get a little blurry. In order for them to set up a site for you, you are charged 19.95 a month. Then they offer you a one time 15$ deal in order to receive commissions off their Secure Online Hosting opportunity (which is what the 19.95 is all about).
From there they have 5 major income streams that all cost from 97 dollars to 13000 dollars (13000$<--this allows you to receive commissions of up to 5000 per sale but the cost for the call center is ridiculously high. I know from other business ventures that 750$ a month is about average for a call center but they start at around 750$ and move up the cost as you receive promotions until the cost is downright ridiculous) to invest in. Not only that they offer a 97$ a month charge in order to be on a list of website owners that periodically get traffic sent their way.
As of right now I can only afford the 19.95 to set up the website, the 15$ in order to receive commission for others that do so from my link, and possibly the Market Samurai product which is offered for several days at a discount of 97$ (if people buy this product from your site you also get compensation for it). Other than that there are monthly charges for each opportunity you sign up for.
I can't say anything about the legitimacy of those other opportunities as I haven't invested in them.
I also have yet to find IIU on the BBB's listing of legitimate businesses which is really bothering me. Either way I will continue to go through the free videos and work on my site. At some point in time, with more research and solid evidence (other than just online reviews) I may decide to invest in those other opportunities.
If I got something wrong feel free to correct me. I am not new to these kinds of internet businesses and feel like I have made an honest review of a newish member that has entered the site with no preconceived notions.
All in all don't even bother watching the videos if you aren't willing to spend a couple months (19.95x2) validating the legitimacy of this opportunity. ALWAYS ask how to cancel (if it comes to that) any opportunity you sign up for.
Sorry for the lengthy review but I believe I got it all out there.

Your clear and concise information truly helped me decide how to continue. I,as many others have been scammed so many times, now I am very careful about sites such as this one. I wish they would just be honest upfront and say what the cost are, instead of telling us it is all free. So many of us would not waste their time or ours if they just were more truthful in the very beginning.

You cleared up quite a bit for me. You could make money doing reviews. I have not signed up for anything yet and I probably won't because i am recovering from another scam that I got caught in and cannot afford the money right now, so ... Thank you for saving me some money.
thank you so much

So is there not a charge to succeed at all using IIU? I have scoured the site for some sort of charge but can't find anything. Is is just affiliate comms where they make their money?
If so, cool system!
