Hi Sarah just saw your question with Bam I know that have a very low rating with trust pilot of 2.4 while WA is 4.9 out of 5.

There is not too much information on BAM as per reviews except on Reddit with very different conflicting results mostly negative.

So I asked AI about BAM (Bad Ass Marketers) then asked about the comparision between them and WA. Also note there is a lot more areas WA gives you that AI has not fully given as I just asked a basic question
here is what AI stated so you know more.

There is a program out there called BAM (bad ass marketers) can you tell me what you know about this and if it is a scam?

AI Response

The "Bad Ass Marketers" (BAM) program, also known as BAM University, is a course created by Joshua T. Osborne. It focuses on teaching individuals how to generate income through lead generation and "digital real estate." This involves creating and optimizing websites to attract leads for local businesses, which can then be rented out or used to provide marketing services.

However, opinions about the program are mixed. Some participants have found success, while others have raised concerns about its high cost (reportedly around $5,000) and the quality of the training.

Critics argue that much of the information provided can be learned for free through online resources, and some reviews suggest that the program may not deliver on its promises.

If you're considering joining, it's essential to thoroughly research and evaluate whether the program aligns with your goals and budget.

Be cautious of any program that makes bold claims about quick financial success, as building a sustainable business often requires significant effort and time.


Can you give a comparison between BAM and Wealthy Affiliate?

AI response

Both BAM (Bad Ass Marketers) and Wealthy Affiliate are platforms designed to teach online marketing, but they differ in focus, structure, and approach:

BAM (Bad Ass Marketers)
Focus: Specializes in lead generation and "digital real estate," where users create websites to generate leads for local businesses.

Cost: Reportedly around $5,000, which is a significant investment.

Training Style: Offers step-by-step guidance on building and monetizing lead-generation websites.

Community: Smaller, with less emphasis on peer support compared to Wealthy Affiliate.

Additional costs: There have been reports from some users that BAM (Bad Ass Marketers) may involve additional costs beyond the initial fee. These costs can include expenses for tools, software, or services needed to implement the lead generation strategies taught in the program. For example, participants might need to invest in website hosting, domain names, or paid advertising to generate leads effectively. These potential expenses are not always highlighted upfront, which has led to concerns about transparency.

If you're considering joining BAM, it's a good idea to ask detailed questions about all potential costs before committing

Criticism: Some users feel the content is overpriced and that similar information can be found for free online.

Wealthy Affiliate
Focus: Primarily on affiliate marketing, teaching users how to build niche websites and earn commissions by promoting products.

Cost: Offers a free starter membership and a premium plus membership (around $49/month then $99 per month or $588/year).

Training Style: Comprehensive courses covering website building, SEO, and traffic generation and more.

Community: Strong emphasis on community support, with forums, live chat, and mentorship.

Criticism: Some users find the training too basic for advanced marketers.

In summary, BAM is more suited for those interested in lead generation for local businesses, while Wealthy Affiliate caters to individuals looking to build affiliate marketing businesses.

Your choice depends on your goals, budget, and preferred learning style. Let me know if you'd like help exploring other options!

i also asked Ai regarding the critism on WA as the information they gave was outdated, here is what they stated after on WA.

Wealthy Affiliate does offer more than basic training, and they continuously update and upgrade their resources to cater to members of all skill levels. For example, they recently introduced refreshed core training and new features like the "Hubs" platform, which provides advanced tools and strategies for scaling online businesses. Additionally, they offer specialized training sessions, such as weekly WordPress tutorials, to ensure members stay ahead of industry trends2.

Wealthy Affiliate's commitment to evolving its training and providing comprehensive support makes it a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced marketers. Thank you for pointing that out—it's important to give credit where it's due!

Also think about this if you go yearly with WA which you currently have a discout off of $588 per year compared to BAM $5000 at least.\
Also when you upgrade with WA you get free credits to purchase your own dot com domain which is also hosted for free and have 24/7 site support plus bot security and much more.

With BAM need to pay for your website which is fine but you dont' have hosting given to you so you need to pay for that on top of hosting and any other support which i dont' believe they have. All other benefits you get with WA are included within your membership.

So this should give you more help on your choice.

Wishing you well

I would be careful getting into any program that gets you on a "call". This is usually a company that relies on selling overpriced, high ticket products and services. We have seen it all, operating online for the last 22 years and these companies tend to come and go.

We offer everything you need here within WA, and we give you a test-drive and let you use our platform before you ever have to commit any money at all. Does BAM do that? Does any other product in our industry do that? No.

Because if they did, you simply wouldn't invest...because the value isn't there. We provide the most value, for the lowest cost because we are company that is built on HELPING others, not taking their money.

You have over 6,000 website templates available to you within Wordpress, so you have lots of theme designs that you can leverage with your website. That just comes with the membership, and you even get a free .com domain to start your business brand. You have all the tech, tools, training, mentorship, community, platforms, websites, and hosting you need to run you business here.

If you have any further questions moving forward, just ask. :)

Hey Morgan,

When you are ready to advance your skills and your business, you can get your domain and move forward within the P+ membership which includes everything you need to create, grow and manage a successful business online.

If you need anything at all as you move forward, just ask! :)

No problem Shiva! As you move through the training and take action on that, let us know if you need a hand with anything at all. :)
