Farouk Radwan Review
Website: www.2knowmyself.com
Name: Farouk Radwan
Overall score: 4 out of 10
Farouk Radwan is a young internet marketer working online since 2006. He holds a number of degrees, such as a master in business administration, CCIP, MCSE, MCT and has many other certificates as well.
He is the founder of Empowerment company based in Egypt and specialized in delivering courses both for individuals and corporations.
He owns a number of websites, which provide him a good steady income. His main website is 2knowmyself.com on which he is selling EBooks on different topics related to personal development. Besides that, he offers his ultimate guide to making money online “How I did it”.
Farouk Radwan’s “How I did it” is a mediocre product and can’t provide high quality support that newbies need in order to start making money online. I personally suggest that you join my recommended program that is free to join for the first 7 days. My recommended program I’m a member of since 2013, provides all-inclusive service and support. Feel free to join because it’s FREE to join.
From what you can find on his website, which includes hundreds of articles on different topics, his interviews on TV etc, it becomes clear that he is a young, knowledgeable and successful internet marketer. He was interviewed by several Egyptian TV channels, popular newspapers like OTV, MBC, Cairo today.
But what has caught my attention and I would like to discuss here is his ultimate guide “How I did it”.
“How I did it” is 80 pages PDF guide. Farouk describes his book as a practical course that shows you exactly what you need to do to start making money from your website.
According to Farouk, the techniques that made him successful, were based on his experience from three successful websites of his own. His guide contains as he claims realistic tactics which if applied can help you generate steady monthly income and that you don’t need any previous experience.
And he promises that with his proven system you can make $5000 per month. Farouk also promises that his book doesn’t contain any theoretical recommendations that might work or not, but instead it contains practical approach that he uses to generate thousands of dollars per month.
He doesn’t spend money on his website advertising and so you don’t have to either. Farouk claims that implementing the ideas contained in his EBook will be very easy, because every small detail is explained.
The information in his EBook is based not only on his marketing skills and online experience but includes information on management, psychology and e-commerce. You will learn how to write sales pages for your website, get your pages ranked on Google (SEO), how to compete with your competitors, bring traffic to your website etc.
What I like about Farouk’s product and his approach:
First thing I would like to mention about Farouk’s product and his approach is his being honest with his visitors. On his sales page of “How I did it” he starts his message with his money back guarantee. He promises that if you don’t like his product or consider it to be a scam you can ask for refund.
I personally appreciate such approach, because most marketers try to hype up their product, right from the start.
He doesn’t give you false promises that you will make $30,000 in the first week or that you will become a millionaire in a few months.
So, I definitely like his approach and appreciate his being honest compared to most scammers that give you false promises that you can make millions with their proven system while you don’t make even a penny.
Another positive side of buying from him is that for every book you buy from him, you will get a new version with more pages once it is released. This is very important, especially in case of internet marketing because if you apply outdated techniques your website can lose all rankings thus destroying your entire business.
What I don’t like about Farouk’s product and his approach:
There is no perfect product and this rule applies to Farouk’s product as well. The first thing that I don’t like is that he promises that you will get your money back in a few weeks if you apply exactly the techniques outlined in his EBook.
I’m an experienced internet marketer and can say that this is not true. First you need to build your website, find a product to promote, write content for your website and get some of your pages ranked on Google and other search engines.
Only after all these and few other things have been done you can bring traffic to your website and start making money. Or if you have some extra budget you can start your PPC campaign (paid traffic) preferably with Yahoo and Bing.
But the problem with PPC is that you need to learn, practice and fail until you master the art of PPC, which requires time. As you can see, this is not as easy as explained by Farouk.
Google AdSense that Farouk offers as a technique to start making money right after launching your website is not true as well. Google AdSense doesn’t make any sense for your website if you have no traffic.
All Internet marketers know that Google AdSense is a good way to make some extra money in addition to your main income but only if you have your website up and running and steady daily traffic. This technique can’t be applied to a new website with zero traffic.
In regards to updates for his product, there is some information that I would like to share with you. I once asked Farouk if his ultimate guide included updates and he referred me to Google panda and penguin updates. That means he doesn’t update his EBook in accordance with Google updates, on a timely manner, as he claims to.
On one of his websites related to search engine optimization (http://2earn-online.com/), he tells that when he finds any of his page dropped from search engines he adds some keywords to that page and improves ranking of that page.
This doesn’t sound to be true because search engines don’t rank pages based on the number of keywords anymore. Search engine optimization game changed since 2012, and it is no longer a matter of keywords alone to get your page ranked.
At the time of writing this post I checked and found that though he claims to have 13 different pages ranked on Google’s first page I found only 5 top ranked pages from his website (http://2earn-online.com/). That proves again that to rank on Google doesn’t depend on your desire alone.
It is Google that decides which page to rank, and which to drop. Writing a long page filled with keywords is not a guarantee to get your page appear in top search results. Unfortunately, I can’t show any proof because his site (http://2earn-online.com/) was shut down for a reason I don’t know.
Final word on Farouk Radwan
Finally, I’m not going to tell you that his product “How I did it” is bad or a scam. No, it is not. I tried to be honest in my review based on my knowledge and experience. The price of his product is 49$ – affordable for most people.
There is no any support promised to the buyers of this product, which is not good. To be successful online you need to get trained at the right place and you need support. Building a business online requires time and dedication and you will definitely get stuck at some point if you do it alone.
And I don’t think Farouk is going to help you until you become successful because if you buy his product, don’t forget that you’re going to be one of many other people who buy from him. If you have any problems or questions and trust me, you WILL have many… you are probably going to solve it on your own.
That’s why I highly recommend you to sign up for a Wealthy Affiliate free account and try it within 7 days. WA provides values that can’t be compared to any other product online + unlimited support. Actually, Wealthy Affiliate is my # 1 program to work at home.
The cost of the first month of membership is $19 and during this period you can take official certification courses that will be more than enough to understand how internet marketing works.
If you want to build your online business using only proven and legit techniques that will not damage your business, WA is the best place I can honestly recommend.
Actually WA helped me and thousands of other people build a successful business online. I believe you will be more than happy with this program.
Most people who join WA, never leave it again. Read my full review of WA and if you have any questions I will be more than happy to help you out.
Nah. I personally believe Sir Farouk. Maybe I am being biased but I still wanna try and if it turned out just like what you said then maybe my trust for him will go a little low. By the way, I was just about to join Wealthy Affiliate a week ago until I saw a review from a veteran who claims to be an online business expert. Check Ebizfacts website to see what I’m talking about.
Hello Utachi!
I think there is no comparison between Farouk Radwan and Wealthy Affiliate. The difference is so big that I don’t even want to go into details. When it comes to ebizfacts review I know about it. I can’t agree with that man. First of all, WA is still in his recommended list among other programs. Secondly, at WA we have many success stories even in 2018, 2019 and 2020. As a member of WA since 2015 and member of Income School since 2019, I can say there is a lot of value in both programs. Each program has its advantages. If WA has success stories this means training is not outdated. I can’t agree with ebiz man.
What are u talking about? Dude it’s definitely not in his recommended programs. Did you even read it? It was a negative review against the program that you are promoting. I still don’t have my evidence against your accusation to Sir Farouk man. But look, this guy Niall, who is the author of ebizfacts website is the real deal. I was so thankful to Wealthy Affiliate because if it weren’t for that I wouldn’t have discovered ebizfacts website. In the site he has made a free course where I think is a very practical approach for someone like me who wants to make money in online business. And the other contents he puts in there are completely helpful too! I’d even encourage you to check him out man! He’s reviews are very critical, but that shows how veteran he is who can point out the pros and cons from his 10-year experience in online business. Not only that, he’s also a very inspirational person, a trait I really admire in sir Farouk Radwan. Anyway thanks for the response man, I’m shocked that you’d still reply after 5 years. I’ll make sure I’d be able to give an update to you once I have my conclusions in Sir Farouk’s book.
You know, I don’t want to argue and continue this endless discussion. In my opinion, Niall’s review is not correct. I agree that some parts of the training may be outdated but this will be corrected this summer. Plus, Niall doesn’t know the true state of things. WA live weekly trainings correct many things mentioned by Niall and described as “outdated”. There is a ton of value at WA, believe it or not. Niall is not perfect and I wouldn’t consider his review 100% true and correct. We have hundreds and hundreds of members at WA making a solid income including me thanks to WA “outdated” training. You didn’t even try it. Huge success of WA is the proof that Kyle and Carson know what they are doing. A scam can’t stay so long. It has been in the business for over 10 years now. WA doesn’t work for everyone like any other program including Income School or Authority Hacker rated as #1 by Niall. Thousands of people at WA can’t be wrong but one person can be wrong.
Hi Rufat,
This product by Farouk seems legit; but I did not appreciate the flaws you pointed out. It is not possible to “add” a few keywords to a previous post that has lost ranking in the search engines in order to get it back up.
It seems like the updates are not really updates; which is something that I really didn’t like. And AdSense? While it’s true that it can help you bring in a few pennies/ dollars a month, without any traffic, you’re not going to be making any money any time soon. Like you said, in order for all this to make sense, you need traffic… which is something that new websites struggle with.
Thanks for reviewing,
Diana
Hi Diana, You are right, the product is legit. As for the flaws, that’s a big problem because it means that his product is not complete. As for the keywords to be used for improving rankings, it’s a total BS. The product as I know is not being updated as it needs to be. As for the adsense, that’s true too. Without traffic you can’t make any money at all. Or you need tons of traffic to make a few hundred bucks per month. All these flaws point to Farouk’s product being incomplete and you would better look for some other alternative products.
Hello Rufat
I enjoyed reading your review of Farouk Radwan’s.
I have come across such people as him many times and although what he is proposing on paper doesn’t really stack up once you start digging a little deeper into the methods he is promoting whether it be in eBooks, on TV or in newspapers.
I tend to give people such as Farouk a very wide berth because at the end of the day they are in business to make as much money for themselves as possible and don’t really care what they do to get it.
My personal verdict: He looks good on paper but beware of those wolfs in sheep’s clothing.
Regards
Robert Allan
Generally speaking I tend to agree with you. Although Farouk’s approach is ethical and don’t recommend his product because based on my experience I feel that even if you buy his ebook you won’t make any success. On the one hand he is honest and doesn’t make promises that you will be making thousands of dollars in the first few weeks, but at the same time he says that you will be able to get your money back in a few weeks after buying his ebook. This is true and not true at the same time. This is most likely the best scenario because most people won’t be able to make any money at all in the first few months. My words are based on real experience. Plus, he doesn’t provide any real support, only by email which is not acceptable for the price he wants us to pay. And there are other programs with a much better training and support for a much lower price.
