I became a member of Empowr - review

And now I am an ex - member of Empowr

First I want to make very clear: EMPOWR IS NOT A FREE PLATFORM!

For the record, empowr.com is NOT empowernetwork.com!

I wanted to see what exactly this community is and how they are working.

I have been a member for over a month, and I want to share my findings with you.

This is the Empowr Dashboard

This platform is a kind of combination between Facebook, Ebay, Blogger

You can update your status, post, sell, buy, blog and earn money after maturation (you have to use it before you can earn it) of your money and deduction of the platform fee.

From your dashboard you can work towards your daily goals. You HAVE to make those goals to be able to earn.

Bid, List, Post, Share

Fans and friends

You can add 100 friends, people you introduce to this community in person. But you can add unlimited fans, you need those fans to like your postings and to bid on your ads.

Easy start Orange Basic

With 50 likes, comments and/or repost, 2 postings and 1 bid and 1 list (advertisement) you have all 4 levels filled, and will earn your bonus.

But then....

You automatically upgrade to the next level, because of your activity.

First degree orange

I started thinking ... wauw, this is taking some more time ...

Second degree orange

I got in time trouble, creating posts, liking and bidding, I didn't do listing at all anymore, what can you sell every day, 4 times a day?

But no worry, they found the follow solution, you can sponsor other listings, and when you win the sponsoring, you can sell it for someone on your profile for a little extra fee.

When you look at this state below

The fee, and what you need to post every day to get your bonus.

* and it is not the number of post you CAN make, it is the number of posts you HAVE TO make in order to get your bonus

And this is only the 3rd level, there are 23 levels!!

The difference between level 1 and level 23 is huge!

Level 1 = $0,20 a day = $6,-- a month

Level 23 = $2.000 a day = $ 60.000 a month

Useless postings and stupid likings

When you are climbing the Empowr ladder you have to post to get your bonus, because you do want to earn at least your platform fee. And people are actually like this kind of postings, just to close loops.

Closing loops

I like yours so you like mine, and every time it will add a bit more to like or to buy from the other. This is level 3, so you can understand what happens in level 24, you have to spend over $ 60.000 a month bidding and advertising, to be able to earn money.

They pay easily over a $100 bucks for an USB stick of $5 just to use the money first in the community, before they can take it out. And you do not actually get that money in your pocket, it is getting into your balance and will be used to pay your platform fee.

To be able to earn on Empowr

You have to give them full permission to take out any fee and money used from your Paypal account. If they can not do that, your account can be deleted, and all the money you would have earned in 3 months, you will loose. What you earn on the first day, you can take out on day 91, the second day is available to you on day 92 etc. and only that part you can take out, what is left after the deduction of the required platform fee.

Oh well at least I will have a good scam report to do for my website.

Hello Loes, I am also an Empowr member. I hope you don't mind but I would like to add a few cons to your review. Every time you advance a level they take those fees from your earliest earnings so after three months member I am still less than 30 days mature, so I can't cash out for another 60 days or months.
My first month's ad platform fees were $27 dollars, my second $107.00. I had to block them from taking more money from my PayPal. Who knows what my 3 month fees will be.
I am waiting for them to delete my account, and with over $6000.00 in my account I would like to see if I would ever get paid, but I can't afford it.


I have made a comparison

As you can see, the pressure and time at Empowr is increasing the longer you are there, so is the enormous platform fee.

I have spend an average of 4 hour a day to go through the training, place postings, find things to bid on, and like, like like....like, just to be able to write a report on this platform.

Earnings

The earnings are a bit blurry

You get $1000 from them where they place auto-ads for

My balance after 32 days looks quite nice but....

All platform fees will be charged and the loan of $1000 will be deducted.


Empower Cons


Empowr will not make you rich overnight!

Time to invest is increasing

You will run out of ideas to post

You will run out of things to sell

You will not earn a dime every day you are do nothing

You have to pay the platform fee, according to the level you are in

You can decide to stay in a level, but you cannot take advantages of early cash outs anymore, you will get restrictions doing that.

The people are not interested in you in person, just in your likes and biddings.

Empowr gets its money from stock market---many of you could end making millions of dollars from the stock options…or go bankrupt ... All members are severally liable.

Final Conclusion

Wealthy Affiliate

Wealthy Affiliate has a warm, caring and lively community, with lots of mutual interactions.

The coaching is done by the owners and the community members.

The training is very comprehensive and the community can add value.

PM's are answered within minutes-to a couple of days. You ask for help here, and many coaches will answer.

Platform fees are very clear

Earnings - referral earnings are transparent

Time investment - You can work at your own time and pace

Empowr

Empowr has a driven, not interacting community, hardly ever there are reactions placed under postings.

The coaching is done by a success coach, which is designated to you. Every question is answered with a standard training video.

The training is standard, however, well documented. Here is an example video of Empowr to watch on YouTube

PM's, I don't no how long it takes to answer a PM, got no answer yet from quite a few I saw as active "likers", and whom I asked for help. Your coach will send you standard pushing emails, to do things when you missed a bonus.

Platform fees are increasing every level and earnings are not clear at all


Earnings - First 3 months nothing, after that with deduction of costs and platform fee, which is not exactly very clear to me. And it takes me to much time to spend another 3 months to find out.

Time investment -Increases the longer you are a member and the higher your power level -You have to do your chores daily in order to earn.

My latest post on Empowr



I hope I gave you a thorough vision of Empowr

After reading this post it doesn't sound like anyone could make any serious money let alone feel empowered. Sounds like all you do is work with no free time to do what you want AND it costs more and more the further you advance.

Thanks for taking the time to do this and show us what they are about. Sounds like this is one to stay away from. Thanks for the info, Loes and I hope you are over your virus by now.

Hi Wayne, yes you do not want to earn money by doing this all day, every day, and yes I am fully healthy again, thank you Wayne

thanks for the warning

You're welcome Janina

Seems like a clever pyramid scheme.

They do tell, all earnings are equally divided, Doug, I do not like the idea of the second leg, one leg is for sharing, bidding and selling, the other leg is out of sight and is something within the stock market, where every member can profit from, or when it goes wrong, pays the price for...

Thanks for exposing Empower. I just couldn't give them access to all my information and didn't join. I will bookmark this to show to anyone that wants to find out about Empower.

Marty

It's Empowr - former Fanbox - it's NOT The EmpowerNetwork, those are 2 very different things Marty, of course, you may share, thank you:)

OK I better take a closer look. I didn't know there were 2 such beasts LOL

Thanks Loes, for sharing! Excellent review!

Rhonda

My pleasure, thanks Rhonda

Thank you for a splendid assessment. Think I stick with WA. Chris

Very wise Chris, I do too:))

This is fascinating .. that you for this analysis .. i knew nothing about this style of business. Cheers, William

It is a kind of making people addicted, you have to do this 90 days in a row before you can access your so-called earnings, so it becomes a habit

Thanks Loes .. I just could not do that .. It would be an epic fail for me! Thank you.

Thanks. Hadn't heard about this and now know I do not have to investigate further :-)

Hi Susanne, no you don't, I think it will waste a lot of your time

Thanks Loes for sharing, it's good to know exactly what it is. It will be interesting to see other members' reply to your last post though...I wonder if anyone's truly happy there...

So am I Ray, I haven't deleted my account yet, because my post will go with it, and I hope to gain some new members for WA, I have now 5 likes and no comments, but those I do not expect on Empowr

I heard it was a scam loes

I can not say it is a scam, Gewayne, it is not my favorite way of spending my time, it is a blogging, buying and selling community, which is a bit of a combi between Facebook, Blogger and Ebay
