Success University Scam?

Updated on October 18, 2011

Success University

Chances are if you're reading this, you want to know if Success University is a scam and if you should get involved.

In case you don't know what Success University is, well here's what they say about their opportunity:-

"Success University is the world's first online learning company devoted exclusively to personal development and entrepreneurialism."

The company was founded by a guy named Matt Morris and uses the network marketing or MLM model.

I remember joining Success University about 2 years ago before I knew anything about online marketing. They had the Success University special $2.00 offer where you sign up for a 14 day trial at 2 bucks.

So I was able to take a peak at what was taught at Success University and how you actually made money. Basically it was a lot of empowerment and personal development stuff like they say but my main goal was to make money and I wasn't getting anywhere.

I guess 14 days wasn't enough - I cancelled Success University before they could charge my credit card for a $49.95 monthly fee.

Is There A Success University Scam?

Well, to be honest I think calling Success University a scam can be little bit harsh.

But there are some really bad reviews of Success University that go as far as calling it a scam and I don't think they are without reason.

Why do some people think SU is a scam?

Just like me, they may have tried it with the intention of making money online and realized that it just wasn't their thing. But that is hardly reason to call anything a scam. If you give something a fair try and it doesn't work as it should then maybe.

The problem with Success University is the whole model, how you're supposed to make money. SU is set up like an MLM program which makes it very unattractive to most people. The thought of recruiting people to make money, building a downline and 'showing the plan' just isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Why it may not be the best way for you to make money?

Success University's main strength is that it uses the power of the internet to build its network marketing business. This makes it easier for members to build their downlines doing away with traditional network marketing standards.

However if you know nothing about marketing then you're going to have a hard time promoting Success University. Knowing how internet marketing works is very essential to your success as a Success University member and that is something I hadn't seen them teaching when I signed up. At least not the basics.

So is there a Success University Scam?

Not really, but if you're like me and you see MLM as a turn off then this is not the type of opportunity you'd want to get involved with.

Unless...

How You Can Make Money With SU.

In most MLMs there is always a few people who know what they are doing and who are making money. They know the 'secrets' and usually have huge downlines and cash big checks.

The good news for you is that you can use the same 'secrets' they are using to make money with Success University. I happen to know two very successful members of Success University and they have something in common.

Who's making money with SU?

You might have heard of The Rich Jerk before or maybe Mike Filsaime. These two guys have something in common. They are very successful and wealthy internet marketers. They know a lot about online marketing and both have released very successful products before.

Every month they sponsor hundreds of people into Success University and are even Top performers on SU.

How are they doing it?

Because The Rich Jerk and Mike Filsaime know how to promote Success University better than most of the other members they have an edge. Because they know how internet marketing works they have unlocked the secret to making Success University work for them and others.

If you want to be earning huge 4 and 5 figure checks every month like The Rich Jerk, Mike Filsaime and their team then you will have to take the time to learn internet marketing.

Best Way To Make SU work

By learning internet marketing, you will have the same edge over a majority of the persons who sign up for Success University since you'll be in the position to build huge downlines effortlessly and earn big checks.

You will also be able to teach your downlines the same methods so that they will not give up their memberships because retention is the way to make MLMs work.

The other benefit to learning internet marketing is if you already think Success University is a scam or MLM isn't for you then you will have the knowledge to make money online in a legitimate way thousands of people are making 5 to 6 figures every month without having to recruit people or build downlines.
