Easy Typing Cash - Real or Fake??

29 replies
Hey,

You know probably like a lot of you, I'm on many big IMers lists. So
I constantly get the same email from them, when a new product releases.
I don't mind it, I signed up on their lists for something, and most of
the products I get are of value it seems.

But yesterday I got an email from about 3 or 4 of them for this product
Easy Typing Cash, saying similar lines like "Can You Type, $2,357 Check This Week? or $925.14 per day typing simple blog posts, etc.

So I clicked and checked it out, I just so happened to have it opened twice one from one guru and one from another. Now I noticed something, they must be testing different landing pages or something.

I saw the same exact testimonial on each page but from two different people, then I saw another same testimonial, different name and picture!
I mean come on, are you serious?

At that point, I was ticked because obviously it must be some BS that they are promoting just to make a buck, because they have thousands of people on their email list. I was very disappointed by this, and I just wanted to get feedback from anyone who may be familiar with this product?

Is it another data entry, article writing blog posting scam or is it a legit product?

        Actually, I happen to know more than most about this offer. As it is run on my network exclusively. The advertiser behind this product is much different than others out there in that he actually talks to his buyers...on the phone (his company). I'm sorry that you review this as being a scam; however, something is only a scam when there is no value in it.

        If you actually get the book, and read through it...then the all important step...apply what you learn. You can definitely make money from this. The header line "easy typing cash" and the flow of the offer is explaining how ANYONE can take as simple of a skill as typing and turn it into money. This is all true.

        i'm unsure as to how it becomes a "scam" there is no hidden information in the purchase of the order and you have 100% right to buy or not buy...no one is forcing your hand. Now Google Cash type offers...yes, those are scams...however this is just a simple offer meant to make everyone a couple dollars and I assure you...the advertiser is selling this ebook at an appropriate price and is actually breaking even (if not losing money) by selling it for $47.00.

          Kindly, keep your selling pitch for another place, this forum is a clean place for legitimate and honest marketers..

          THIS IS A SCAM, you accept it or not...

          the sales page is using a deceptive misleading information to force the buyer to believe this book gives him access to something exclusive and unique, though, the so called system is nothing but referring to clickbank and promoting affiliate offers using articles and blogs, which is a public knowledge that anyone can learn more and much better information about by just browsing this forum for free, without paying $47 to some scam artists...

          I too received the same email from a well known IM. I'll just name him here outright, Kevin Wilke of Nitro Marketing, which I find to be honest and sincere in his business practice. Though through no direct experience of purchasing his products.

          Question is, having experience with his product, do his claims hold true... about being able to consistently make over $500 a day and/or replacing their full time jobs? I ask because, I too am interested in this product.
          And as you said "however this is just a simple offer meant to make everyone a couple dollars."

          Well just for reference the sales page, taken directly from his website, (can be found doing a Google search for "Easy Typing Cash"), writer "Tim Thomas" claims...

          "Over 10,000 Companies
          Are Ready To Pay You:

          • $20 For Filling Out 20-Minute Surveys!
          • $25 - $35 For Typing Short 3 Paragraph Blog Posts!
          • $45 - 75 For Typing Short Articles!
          And Amazingly...
          • Up to #347 For Writing Short 5 - 10 page stories!"
          He also says:

          "Once Inside You'll Get:

          Instant 24/7 access to our Members Only Area, where you can make immediate money doing short blog posts, articles, & more!

          • The fool-proof strategy - Make at least $125 - just 15 minutes after signing up!"

          People want to get into something real and not some ClickBank merchant affiliate scheme, which does sound to be the case here. If so, a sad, sad day.

          Can anybody prove it? Without getting ripped off of course...

          Thanks

            I was too shocked to receive such an email from Kevine as I respect him, and my experience with nitro marketing is nothing but amazing, they are among few selected companies I deal with with complete confidence..

            I even sent him an email asking about this weird promotion, but yet to receive any response.

            About the mentioned product itself:
            -when someone refers in his salesletter to "+10,000 companies waiting for you to enter data for them and they will pay you for a few lines of data" you shall close the sales letter immediately, or if you have time and patient, you can report the site to the FTC or the BBB, as this statement alone is enough to shut their business, it's a "deceptive misleading advertisement" practice,
            They are mentioning ClickBank, and Clickbank companies are not waiting for you to enter data for them, and won't pay you for submitting data, they will only pay you for closed sales, which isn't a joke or a kids game you'll learn from reading some rehashed information in $47 ebook, it took years for some to figure out a profitable system for generating income from clickbank, it takes hard work, and weeks or months of discipline and commitment to see results.
            Any ebook make such claims on this sales page is a plain scam, and should be avoided....
            That's it.

      I thought this guy could be trusted?

      I don't ever give these things time of the day but from HIM I thought it might actually be worth looking at.

      It's like the illuminati of internet marketing! haha!

      Just thought I would name and shame as this really has p*ssed me off!

      Telman Knudson tried to get me to buy a product that says this on the sales page

      Thanks for the info BJramma


      So Telman, Thanks mate! I hope your feet hurt so bad! I know its for charity and I'm not bashing that but show the same decency towards the people who subscribe to you!

    You may want to go over to Elance or Craigslist and search under "blog posts" to see what you can really get for doing blog posts. Seems no one on those sites is offering such high amounts just for strictly 'blog posts'.

    Would be nice to see if there is anyone using the product that has actually gotten those amounts noted on the sales page - not a note from the promoter or the marketers promoting the item [unless they actually used it themselves].

    hi everybody,

    As far as I know it's a scam. I received that same promotion myself. Because I suspected it is another data entry type scam I checked it with IM report card.


    As I figured this is exactly what it was.


    The scam is not in the fact that it doesn't give anything in return to your money, it just that the sales page presenting this opportunity as if you will be hired by companies that need you to write content, and you will be paid a certain amount of money for your content (and you have the range of payment), but the fact is that you're not hired by anyone, and you may not get any payment for your content. Users on IM report card who bought the product reported that the information on the sales page is misleading and the information that you get when you pay is outdated and certainly not worthy of the sum they ask for.


    I think this promotion is a shame for any Internet marketer that respects his customers and want them to respect him in return.

      I got the message today from Kevin Wilke.

      It seems to me that marketers today often forget the lessons of the past when they forget to value their subscribers for a short term gain.

      I only opened the message because it came from Kevin. His messages will no longer hold the same value for me.

          I have been on Kevin's list for quite some time and I remember receiving the same email before but at the time I wasn't interested in it. If you look at the date of the first post in this thread that mentioned his name, it's 11-02-09 (post #6). So this wasn't the first "offense."

          A good marketer should know that they are ultimately responsible for whatever they attach their name to.

          I will personally bring this to Kevin's attention next week in Vegas and I can assure you that Kevin will pull this type of garbage if he deems it so.
          Make sure you do that. Maybe show him this thread

    I got this only yesterday (from a self-claimed multimillionaire IM guru) and came here to verify it's authenticity and see this discussion about it being a scam.

    It's a sad day indeed when the IM gurus you trust to lead you to the pot of gold become suspect as well.

    You kind of think that they too became millionaires by pointing people to fraudulent money making schemes.

    Hope their greed doesn't rub off on me.

          Great reporting and due diligence guys!

          I received the email 5 hours ago from Mark Joyner. I couldn't fathom him sending out such a program so I looked carefully at the fine print on the site (after I increased the font size several times. Interesting :-)

          Then I looked for a price on the sales page - nada That raised a real red flag to me. I was not going to give my address on a form without more info.

          So, I called the company at 1-800-207-1132

          I'm still on hold a half an hour later. At Canadian to US toll-free charges, that will add up

          >>>>
          OH ! just got a live person.

          I asked him how much the course costs? First he says, "$27 - No sorry, $47".

          I respond, "Interesting, is it $47 or $27?"

          He replies, "We had a promo on for $27. Now it's $47".

          I reply, "Could you tell me who owns the company please?"

          He replies, "I'm sorry, I have no idea".

          He was polite :-)

      I never claimed to be a guru. I'm just sick and tired of being scammed by so-called gurus. I take it that YOU are a guru and know "what goes up here", good for you!

      Actually I never questioned Kevin Wilke's legitimacy. As I said, I have been on his list for quite some time and I did learn a few valuable things from him. And believe it or not, I haven't unsubscribed! I was just a bit disappointed that someone of his caliber would promote something that appears shady. You yourself wrote the following in your previous post:

      With that said, Kevin is very busy and doesn't always have time to go through each product like he should and I believe this type at home crap might have been set up by our last JV guy.
      My response was based on that statement of yours!

      And hey, the product being promoted might also be legitimate but why don't they be straight and honest about it and say it's a course in affiliate marketing instead of saying things like "$25 - $50 for entering data into online forms!", "$30 - $75 for typing short articles!" and "YOU get to choose which companies you want to work with. You have total control." (copied and pasted from the actual site) which can easily give the false impression that it's some sort of a salaried job.

      Another thing is that they ask for your phone number (in addition to name and email) just to show you the sales letter. That's actually what held me back because I don't like being telemarketed.

      This is going to be my last post in this thread as well. I won't waste anymore of my valuable time and energy. Have a nice day! (just in case you do come back to check this thread )

        Hey Guys,

        Thanks for posting your feedback on this program. I was just about to purchase this for my daughter who just recently lost her job and needed to make a few bucks quickly. She has story writing skills. She was so excited and ready to get started after she read the sales page. Thought I check it out a bit further and found it here.

        Glad I did.

        Thanks again warriors, they don't call this forum WARRIORS for nothing.
