The Internet Lifestyle Network - Beware!

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

This is one site offering to make you $20 in 24hrs or they will give $100 after 30 days if you don't make any money. But you have to prove that you have put the effort in to get signups which they can easily check.

The whole of the marketing strategy focuses around Facebook and you sharing their links and images with your Facebook Friends and also my emailing your friends.

I have quite a substantial email list, BUT after thinking long and hard about this I wasn't going to send anything out to my list, Why?

Because they will then own my list which took me decent amount of time to build.

This is Multi Level Marketing at it's highest and one that is such a huge con that it's amazing that nobody else has spotted it yet. That's because the video's a very slick and professional looking and they keep on emphasizing that you can easily make money just by sharing with your friends on Facebook.

Now we all know that it takes quite a bit of work to make serious serious money from marketing, it's about building trust and a relationship with your readers.

I shared an image on my timeline on Facebook with a link attached and a couple of other posts just to see what the response was and the image got re-shared but nobody signed up which I'm not overly bothered about.

However my investigations into what this is really about shocked me.

Initially you sign up as a free member for 7 days then it costs $37 a month for what they call the Apprentice Level but this only allows you to make $20 per signup, you don't get the extra income from the further 4 levels unless you become a Professional Member and this will cost you another $95 a month.

For the $95 a month you get free websites which look exactly the same, with the exact same content and a 5000 word post by one of the owners Vincent Ortega Jr.
You can change the colors and layout of the wordpress website and if you want a different header picture you can purchase a Gold Pack for $850.

Everything to do with ILN focuses on you spending money and not making money.

I signed up as a Professional straight away instead of waiting 7 days as a free member for $95 to see what was on offer and what I have seen is shocking.
The worse bit is that even though I went from Free to Professional Level I will still have to pay the Apprentice Level of $37 a month after 7 days. So that means this will cost a staggering $132 a month!!

The training provided is inadequate, it teaches you nothing about creating a proper online business that you can learn here at Wealthy Affiliate.
