Earn With Mike Review – I Don’t Recommend It
Owner: Mike Anderson
Website: www.earnwithmike.biz
Price: $97
Verdict: Scam
When I first came across “Earn with Mike” website, I was really very surprised, not only at the quality of their promotional video, but an outdated approach as well.
But when I say outdated, I mean that the video starts with a typical salutation followed by an outrageous lie that you are minutes away from making money with a few clicks of your mouse. The video promises you that you will never be asked to do anything, except a few clicks of your mouse a day.
Their approach is absolutely outdated because I’m an experienced internet marketer and don’t buy into that type of trash anymore. The video tells that Mike’s created a new income generating system that can help you earn $175-$1800 a day.
If you’re new to internet marketing then know that it is a LIE and I’m going to prove it in this article but before that I would like to look into details of Earn with Mike program.
The program owners, Winter Valko and Graig Davidson have also created a few other low quality products, such as Mass Money Traffic Machine, My Vegas Business, Quick Income, and other programs.
Inside Earn with Mike member’s area you can find video trainings and tools. There are different sections inside the member’s area, such as First start, Video Guides, Products for profit, Resources, Automatic Traffic system and Bonuses.
The member’s area overall design and structure is really horrible just like their home page. While some of the information is legit you can easily get confused inside that area. It is really hard to figure out which part of the training is the part of the course and which is not.
After filling out the application you will be sent to the payment page to pay $997 and after entering a “discount” coupon code you will be offered to pay $97. I hate such a misleading sales technique, because of the way they try to convince you, as if they give you an amazing product of high value for a small price.
Actually, their product is not even worth that price ($97). But it is not the end of that story. If you click off 3 times you can get this “amazing” product for $17! And it doesn’t even stop there.
You would be informed that your application was approved out of many others but it is not true. This is another misleading technique and I advise you to ignore it. Actually, all applications get approved.
Inside Earn with Mike
As I said, there are different sections inside the member’s area, such as First start, Video Guides, Products for profit, Resources, Automatic Traffic system and Bonuses.
First start includes: Earn money, Finance tips, Thinking like a millionaire;
Video guides include: 7-day E-coach videos, Idea generator, How to create membership sites, No income streams, No money down, Easy re-sell;
Products for profit include: Some products to promote
Automatic traffic system: How to create traffic
Bonuses: audio, video bonuses, product and software bonuses
What I didn’t like:
You can also get your bonus (websites) but they are actually files full of code and I don’t really think you need them. With the power of WordPress you can build a website within a few minutes and that’s why I consider their bonus websites to be absolutely useless.
They offer some bonuses, such as viral traffic secrets, fast content producer, keyword tool, free cash generator, make money with membership sites and more. Some of them are useful while others useless. Fast content producer is absolutely useless because any content created by software will never give your site any good rankings in search engines.
7-day E-coach video course includes videos on how to be successful online. All these videos are motivational and don’t teach you any real strategies that you can apply to your business and start making money.
Resources section offers you 3 links to: autoresponder (Aweber), hosting (not the best one) and Clickbank. So, there is nothing special, because all these resources are available on the internet.
Does Earn with Mike provide any support?
There is a support team that can theoretically help you if you get stuck but to be honest, I don’t know whether they are really helpful or not.
My final word on Earn with Mike
Now is the final part of my review and I’m going to prove that the program is not worth your money and precious time. You have probably read other reviews or will read after mine. I have come across some reviews on the internet saying that if someone says “Earn with Mike” is a scam, it is because he tries to promote his own product.
I don’t think those reviews are honest. To promote a good product that has a lot of positive reviews is not bad while promoting a product that has a lot of negative reviews (for example, Earn with Mike) is really bad.
I can honestly recommend you to try the best program (Wealthy Affiliate) on the internet that has a lot of positive reviews and can really help you build your business online and the best part of it is that you can join this program for free. If you like it you can go premium and if not then forget it.
You have nothing to lose. I’m not saying that they will build a business for you and that you don’t need to do anything. They will teach you how to build a successful business online, and give you all you need to accomplish the task.
Some other bloggers who have an affiliate link to “Earn with Mike” program try to convince you to join that program because they earn a commission from that program.
Some of them even claim that after joining that program they earned $300 in their first week and $2000 in their first month! Do you really believe them? Very few people can make that amount of money in the said time frame and it’s true for experienced internet marketers.
I can honestly tell you that any program that promises you just like “Earn with Mike” that you can easily make a lot of money with it, stay away from that program. I’m really tired of that type of misleading and false statements. I tried many similar programs and trust me, none of them worked.
Building a real business online requires time and hard work and if you follow the right course you can start making decent money in a few months and serious money by the end of your first or second year, but not by the end of your first month as many programs similar to “Earn With Mike” claim.
I am not going to convince you that “Earn with Mike” is a scam but I can’t recommend it because there are many other quality programs that have a lot of positive reviews, such as Bring the Fresh, Chris Farrell Membership, Affilorama and Wealthy Affiliate. I can honestly recommend you Wealthy Affiliate because I tried it and know from my own experience. Read my honest review of WA below.
Hi,
You have done your research about Earning With Mike. That takes time and thought. I appreciate that and trust you because you don’t even want to convince me that he is a scam. You thoroughly explained why Earning With Mike does not work and encourage us to be cautious. Your trust got stronger when you suggested other online website services besides Wealthy Affiliates which means you are not biased.
I am happier that I am with wealthy Affiliates after reading your post. You are absolutely right that it is a friendly community where everyone helps each other out. The website offers a rich source of education. True also is the fact that patience and hard work will see success unfolding in a year or two.
I found your post realistic and encouraging.
Thanks for offering your help and services.

Thank you Sia for your thorough comment and your kind words. I really appreciate it. You are right that I’ve put much effort to write my review of Earn with Mike because when I write my reviews I always try to be honest and show exactly without fluff why a particular program fails to deliver on its promises. Because calling every program a scam won’t help and it’s wrong to do so for the sake of promoting your own program. And as you mentioned it right, I suggest folks to try other legit programs, not just one program and I do so to help people make an informed decision. Probably If I suggest only one program they can think that I’m a bit biased. As for Earn with Mike, the program is really not a good fit for people who are just starting out. When compared to programs like the ones I mentioned above, there is no chance at all for Mike because it does really have many major flaws. And I agree with you that WA is very friendly and helpful community and this is exactly what makes it different from many other programs out there.
Thank Rufat for even a good warning.
It seems as if the Internet is full of this kind of products.
I wonder a little about how you come in contact with all these products. I meet even a part of the social media but I must admit that I did not have the energy to describe them all.
One thing that I like is the way you describe down sales of a product which is almost $ 1,000 worth can be purchased for $ 17 a little searching, I thought.
But I’m glad to have you in my network and that you have shown me a path that does not function. That you while also showing what is needed is just positive, I will definitely pass on these details
Thank you Steen for your comment on my post. I agree that internet is full of products like Earn with Mike and I agree that it takes a lot of time to write this type of reviews, really time consuming. You mentioned it right that Mike’s approach is deceptive and misleading because it’s wrong to sell a product for $1000 and then reduce to $17. It’s really ridiculous. And I’m glad to know that you found my review helpful because that was my intention to show that the program doesn’t really work and it has some major flaws that don’t allow me to call it legit. Mike promises that you can make $1800 per day which comes to $54.000. It’s not realistic at all and anyone who has at least some experience in internet marketing knows very well that only few out of thousands of internet marketers can reach those numbers, not to mention people who are completely new to internet marketing. As for the alternative that I mention in my review all those programs are legit and can help you build your online business.
