Online Profit Stream – Not Recommended at Best
Product name: Online Profit Stream
Product owner: Cindy Carter
Website: online-profit-stream.com
Price: $97
Verdict: Scam at worst and not recommended at best
Online Profit Stream by Cindy Carter is one of those “amazing” programs that promise you a lot of money with no much effort from your side. This type of promise is very popular on the web and unfortunately many people fall for it.
Programs like this one always change their domain name once in a while due to many negative reviews about them and at the time of writing this review the url online-profit-stream.com was down.
I think this alone would be enough to understand that Online Profit Stream is not going to help you build your online income streams and you’d better avoid this opportunity if you want to be on the safe side.
Anyway, I’m going to take a look at this program to make sure that we are not missing out an amazing opportunity.
The main idea behind Online Profit Stream
The main idea behind this program is as ridiculous as their advertising methods and bold claims are. It’s about posting links here and there and being paid generously as much as a few dollars per link.
There are many programs on the web similar to this one and in most cases they promise up to $15 per link. I reviewed some of these programs and you can take a look:
Excel Cash and Home Profit promise you to make $379 per day while Work at Home Paycheck promises $1000 a day. I don’t know how much OPS promises but I know for sure that it’s not going to ever happen.
Pros of Online Profit Stream
- Even if it was possible to make money with this opportunity you could probably earn a few cents per link at best
Cons of Online Profit Stream
- False promises
- Exaggerated earnings
- No money back guarantee
- Many complaints
- It’s just another posting link scam out of many others
Inside the program
1. As I said above, programs like this always change their name once in a while. There is another program called Home Online Institute which has the same design and advertising text that you can find on the Online Profit Stream website.
Look at these websites and ask yourself: doesn’t it look suspicious? I think anyone can easily understand this is not normal for a website that claims to be legit and promises to help you make enough money to quit your job.
2. Websites like ones that I’ve mentioned above always tell the same story about a single mom of 2 or 3 who has been lucky to find a posting link scam that allowed her to make enough money to quit daily job. Of course, it has nothing to do with reality.
There is a fake website called Finance Report hosted on http://consumersfinanceguide.com/ which always features fake websites such as Work at Home Paycheck, Home Profit System etc.
Just as an example, Work at Home Paycheck was advertised on Finance Reports (www.consumersfinanceguide.com/F0002/finance).
But if you visit their main address
www.consumersfinanceguide.com you will find this:
In fact, there is a disclosure agreement on www.consumersfinanceguide.com which says that all their advertisements are fake and are not to be taken literally!
A little update: I found the same fake report for Online Profit Stream on Finance Reports website.
3. There is also another program Home Internet Cash that uses the same design and uses the same deceptive tactics. Unfortunately and fortunately their domain name (premier-online-income.com) was shut down too.
4. In fact, you can make money online by posting links but it works in a different way.
You need to have a website first, then choose a product to promote, write a description about your product and start promoting it through search engines, social media, YouTube, paid advertising, email marketing and when visitors come to your website and click your affiliate links and complete the purchase you earn a commission.
This is how you can make money online but not how you are led to believe by programs like Home Profit Stream.
5. Another red flag is that Online Profit Stream uses logos of such renowned and popular channels as CNN, USA Today, NBCNEWS, FOXNEWS etc., to make you believe that their program, i.e. OPS is legit and has been many times featured on these news channels.
The truth is that Online Profit Stream has never been featured on these channels. What was featured is work from home opportunities, just some of them but never programs like ones mentioned above.
6. All these sites use a calculator to allow you to calculate how much money you want to make. Very generous approach for which we should thank them all 🙂
7. And as I said above, they change their website design very often. Look at these two images below. Two different websites with different design and offers.
On the first image you can see that Cindy claims that you can make $379 a day from home
and the same promise you can see on another link posting scam mentioned above, i.e. Excel Cash Flow and Home Profit System. All this means that it’s a copy paste link posting scam.
8. Another red flag is that all these sites use the same deceptive tactic by claiming that number of positions is limited. The truth is that this number never changes even if you refresh the page.
9. OPS just like other link posting scams mentioned above claims that big companies are desperate for people like you to independently post these links from home and get paid generously. This is of course not true and believe me no one is looking for you or me to pay $15 per link.
10. Another red flag is using fake testimonials. Look at these testimonials at ask yourself: Do you believe they are real?
A real testimonial should look like testimonials left about my website. It should be a screenshot of a real testimonial so no one can doubt about it.
11. Remember, if a program promises you quick money it’s most likely a scam and to prove it I suggest that you read what BBB.org says about programs like Online Profit Stream.
12. And the last thing I would like you to pay attention to is the number of complaints I found about Online Profit Stream on a reputable site BBB.org. There is a long list of complaints about this link posting scam.
I believe this fact alone is ENOUGH to understand that this program is an absolute waste of time and money. Neither it’s going to replace your regular income nor it’s going to give your money back in case you decide to pay them.
13. Finally, there is no support because their website was shut down and I think it’s not the end of the world.
Final word on Online Profit Stream
It’s a huge scam. Plain and simple. But let me help you and recommend a program I’ve been a member of for almost 2 years now and I’m doing very well with it. It’s the place that has joined thousands of people across the globe and has helped them start making money on the internet.
I’m already making money from my website thanks to this program. It’s unquestionably reputable and its legitimacy has been proven through years.
You can create your free account without credit card and try the program within 10 days. I highly recommend you to read my review of this program called Wealthy Affiliate and create a free account and if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

I’ve seen this scam too many times over the last five years! When I first saw it I initially planned on signing up for it! But, by nature, I’m suspicious of things like this and I decided that before I put my money into something like that I’d look it up and google and look for people not connected to their website that said it’d worked for them. I knew if it really was as great as they were saying multiple reviews would exist online that would state it was a good, legitimate program!
One internet search led me to hundreds of reviews declaring that it was in fact a scam and over the years I’ve seen it pop up over and over! Always with a different name and new site layout but it’s often the same video, the same testimonials, and the same information! It’s awful people could do this to one another and feel ok about it!
I thought you did a great review of this scam. One thing I would add for your users is a note to remind them that if they ever come across a get rich scheme it’s likely a scam. However if it isn’t they can be there will be reviews on google NOT ASSOCIATED TO THE WEBSITE stating that yes people have had success through it! If they can’t find at least a dozen of these reviews, they’re best off writing it off as a scam.
That’s a great news that you didn’t sign up for this terrible program and saved yourself from this crap. I agree that if a program is said to be good then many positive reviews should be found online. It’s good that you did your search and found out that the program was a scam. This program has association with other link posting scams that always change their domain names, websites then appear under new names and do so continuously as long as possible in order to make more money. Fortunately, their website was taken down but it doesn’t mean they stopped their activity. Most likely they changes the domain name and are now promoting the same crap. Even its’ so I’m sure their website will be closed down very soon. But I’m afraid before that they will scam many other people.
Nice site Rufat.
I like the good, clean honest approach to your review / analysis of online profit stream. Internet marketing is a heck of a lot more than just point and click our way to a decent sizeable income as indicated. Appears to be a lot of false advertising and claims behind this “system” also.
Thumbs up for outing them as a scam and saving a lot of a lot of heart ache!
Thank you Derek for a comment. Of course, internet marketing is not just about clicking your mouse and then pocketing tons of money. If it was so easy we all would be millionaires. Internet marketing requires a whole set of skills, knowledge and experience. It’s the combination of knowledge and experience that makes you successful over time. This so called Online Profit Stream looks like Online Loss Stream. I spend about 7 hours to write this review, but at least it was not a waste of time. I helped folks and hope will save more people from this so called amazing opportunity.
Ahh. Make money online without doing any work? There’s no such thing.
Earning money (anywhere) takes a lot of time and a lot of work.
The only way to earn without doing any work IS to build a business/blog to level where it only requires a couple hours a day to keep things running. And that takes time and hard work.
It’s too bad that a lot of people don’t get this. But it’s good that sites like yours are dedicated to helping people avoid scammy programs like this.
Cheers for that.
Great review, rufat.
Making money online without doing any work is what Online Profit Stream is preaching and many naive people believe them and even when you explain to these people that don’t go in that direction, go in this direction, they still prefer programs like this one because they promise quick results and we don’t promise anything because we are honest and we can’t guarantee any results. Of course, building a business requires effort and time and this is what most people don’t want to understand. They think that when it comes to online world making money becomes easy like a wonder. Just click your mouse and you are done. No, it’s not going to work. And even the fact that there are so many complaints about Online Profit Stream it doesn’t always stop people from making making their choice in favour of such programs. They only realize it after having been scammed when it’s already late.
Hello, Rufat I enjoyed your review of online profit stream like many people here at Wealthy Affiliate, I always check for reviews online before trying out new products. I will surely not try this one. You have done a lot of research on this one and have exposed it to the world very effectively. Good luck in your online business and I hope to meet you sometime in the future.

Of course we have to always read many reviews before making a choice because it can save our hard earned money and the time. Yes, I’ve done a lot of research to be honest because all these links posting scams are so confused and deceptive that I had to spend 6 hours to do my research and expose all its read flags. I’m glad you like it and it was helpful.
Hi Rufat, I’m really glad I stumbled upon your web when searching for review about OPS. I agree with you. Those easy jobs that promise quick money are almost scream “I am Scam, I am Scam, please fall for me”.
I think thoday is the era that online job searcher pay attention to reviews (both pros and cons) about a website to determine whether it is legit or not. I think this Wealthy Affiliate program looks good and I will check your review on this one too.
Thank you for sharing 🙂
I’m glad you came across my site and my review of Online Profit Stream. You are right, programs that promise you easy jobs, simple tasks, easy money, quick money etc are not worth the time and money or our attention. These programs like Online Profit Stream expose themselves when they make unrealistic claims and in most cases only those that are completely new to making money online fall for these scams. Those who fall are many and it’s because they don’t know how to make money online, they don’t even know simple things. They need to get trained first and then take action. Many searchers fall for wrong reviews that point them in the wrong directions and unfortunately we can’t help here. The only way is to do a proper research before taking a decision.
Thanks for this enlightening article on the online profit stream – hopefully it will set more than a few people straight!
Your label of ‘Scam at worst and not recommended at best’ seems to spell it out in laymans terms for everyone – avoid at all costs!
What would you recommend instead?
Just like you I hope my review will help folks make the right decision and avoid online profit stream. As you can see from my review there are too many red flags in this program and especially complaints say the last word in this case. You are right Chris, in my opinion this program is not recommended even in the best scenario because people that stand behind online profit stream, such as Cindy Carter have invented so many lies to persuade naive people that with all this info in mind how can I recommend it? No way I think. As for my recommendation, I can recommend you to read my recommendation at the end of my current review and create free trial account to try the program. Inside it you will learn all you need to start your very own business online. It provides support, tools and opportunity to network with other successful online marketers and benefit from their experience. I think you should give a try. It’s absolutely free and doesn’t require any payment info.
