Default WorldProfit

I came across World Profit when someone on a social network site offered me 50,000 free visitors to a website of my choice if I attended a live presentation. I went to the presentation, bought on impulse - bad move!

The world profit opportunity costs $99.99 a month, they claim that you get your own domain name, you don't they keep it when you leave. They claim to have 22 streams of income but all they are is a bunch of traffic exchanges and safe lists you then use to promote WorldProfit. They claim to have great training, well I have seen free programs with better training.

The most disturbing thing I found with WorldProfit is the high pressure tactics they use on prospects. Every site has a live video linked monitor who sells the business for you, and tries to get people to come to the live webcast, with the promise of 50.000 free visitors. What they don't tell you is if you don't buy all, you get is a ebook with links to all of the traffic exchanges and sfelists that they have in their members back office, so you have a lot of work to do to get your "free" visitors! You get 50,000 free visitor if you do buy, but they are from their own traffic exchange. I sent some of the traffic to a site I host, and most if not all was from autosurfing!

The presentation is hyped up and over sells their company, it sounds too good to be true, and in my opinion it is! After you have attended the live presentation you are asked to go to the live marketing centre. Here the high pressure selling starts. The CEO Dr Lant puts pressure on people to buy, and is rude and arrogant. He and the rest of the 'community' ridicule anyone how won't buy there and then. It isn't a pretty sight!

I was with WorldProfit for a month. I did sell 3 'silver packages' as they call them. but my concience couldn't stand seeing my prospects being treated so disrespectfully, and I also knew that there are free programs that are much better than this $99.99 a month crap. I never saw any of the money I earned as it looks as if I forfeited it by leaving.

So if you see an ad for 50,000 free visitor, avoid it. Unless you like being ridiculed and pressurised into buying. Their system does work, you will sell their products if you get traffic to their site. But whether you can feel good about it or not afterwards is another thing. I am not sure whether this company can be classified as a scam, but in my opinion it comes very close to it.

You have been warned!
