Welcome to my Mining Up review!
Cryptocurrency has suddenly erupted once more after Bitcoin’s value went up and has almost quadrupled in value over the last 4 years. Now, it’s on the verge of making people a lot of money once more.
With cryptocurrency, you either invest in them directly or mine it using your PC hardware. The latter explains the sudden rise of prices for graphics cards. Going over Amazon, graphics cards are out of stock for the latest and more recent versions, and the prices are going up.
It comes as no surprise that people are mining for cryptocurrency to take advantage of the cryptocurrency boom.
But if you can’t mine or afford to invest in it, you could take part in a program that would pool your finances into a mining pool and you split the income.
Sounds sketchy, right?
Well, we’re about to review just that. This company is called Mining Up.
First of all, I must Congratulate you for taking your time to do your own research before buying into any "seemingly good" product.
That's the way to avoid scams and find the legitimate way to make money online!
Let me be completely transparent with you, I'm not associated with Mining Up in any form.
So, rest assured that I'm not here to pitch or sell anything to you.
Instead, I'm here to reveal what this scheme is all about...
Product Name: Mining Up
Founder: Not Disclosed
Product Type: Cryptocurrency Mining Pool Ponzi Scheme
Price: $9 minimum investment
Best For: No one
Summary: Mining Up is a mining pool Ponzi scheme that promises a 730% ROI but it's all fluff and fillers. The incentives for making money are based on recruitment, and there's just nothing legitimate about this company.

Welcome to my Control Traders review!
Ponzi schemes are just creative when it comes to thinking of ways to squeeze out every cent from their members. They’re even more creative when it comes to avoiding the eyes of the FTC or its counterparts from around the world.
However, it only takes common sense and a little bit of knowledge on how the MLM industry works to figure out whether or not a company is a Ponzi scheme.
Today, we’re going to review Control Traders.

Product Name: Control Traders
Founder: Not disclosed
Product Type: Investment Ponzi Scheme
Price: $300 minimum investment
Best For: No one!
Summary: Control Traders is a 52-week Ponzi scheme that has nothing of value to offer. There's no proof that they're generating income other than new member investments. It's clear that they're nothing more than a Ponzi scheme.

Welcome to my Crowdology review!
Paid survey sites are dime a dozen, and we can’t tell you this enough. But just because there’s a whole lot of them doesn’t mean they’re all good. In fact, the number of surveys that we recommend to anyone can just be counted with the fingers on our hands.
Today, we’re going to uncover another one of these survey sites called Crowdology..

Product Name: Crowdology
Founder: Savanta
Product Type: Paid Survey Panel
Price: Free to Join
Best For: No one!
Summary: Crowdology is one of those survey sites that don't really have anything good to offer. They may not be a scam, but they're just terrible compared to the others. They are dealing with numerous issues, from disqualification issues to payments not being completed with members.

Welcome to my Xpango review!
It’s quite common for survey sites and GPT sites to not offer cash rewards. They do make up for the lack of cash incentives by providing better quality rewards, if ever. But that beats the purpose of doing these programs because you can’t earn any money.
Today, we’re looking at one of those sites that don’t have cash rewards called Xpango.
First of all, I must Congratulate you for taking your time to do your own research before buying into any "seemingly good" product.

Product Name: Xpango
Founder: Xpango
Product Type: Get Paid To Site
Price: Free to Join
Best For: No one
Summary: Xpango is a GPT or get paid to site that doesn't really have cash rewards. If that's what you're looking for, this program is not for you. All that they have are gadgets and games that you can work towards earning. But again, there's no income potential here.

Welcome to my Stay Home Commissions review!
It’s no surprise that during the start of the lockdowns all across the world, affiliate marketers were quick to jump in and create courses to allow people to work from home, or to even start a business online.
One of those people happens to be Dan Brock, and this time, he created what he calls Stay Home Commissions.
And we’re going to find out what this program is all about...

Instead, I'm here to reveal what this course is all about...
Product Name: Stay Home Commissions
Founder: Dan Brock
Product Type: Affiliate Marketing Training Program
Price: $997 one-time payment (or $1098 in three installments)
Best For: Advanced affiliate marketers
Summary: Stay Home Commissions is a training course launched by Dan Brock during the height of the lockdowns caused by the pandemic. With people locked at home, Brock created this program to help people establish passive income online. While their goals are admirable, I wish the same thing can be said for the program itself. The program is just on the expensive side, even with the content. You'll find better programs out there that are more in-depth and more comprehensive. This isn't for beginners too since it doesn't really explain a lot of key concepts.

Welcome to my VIPKid review!
With the pandemic, schools have resorted to doing online classes. Thankfully, this isn’t a relatively new thing because there are already programs in place that have been teaching kids online. There are even online programs where you can hire tutors.
These programs also offer a decent source of income, so you can work on this part-time and still make it worth your while.
Today, we’re reviewing one of these programs called VIPKid.
First of all, I must Congratulate you for taking your time to do your own research before buying into any "seemingly good" product.

Product Name: VIPKid
Founder: Cindy Mi and Jessie Chen
Product Type: Online Tutoring Opportunity
Price: Free to Join
Best For: Teachers who want to have a side hustle
Summary: VIPKid is an online tutoring program that hires teachers to teach English to Chinese kids. This system has you working on the Beijing Time Zone, which may be inconvenient if you're from overseas. There are also several complaints about the support system for teachers, which might be a bad thing.

Welcome to my Grubhub review!
During the Pandemic, food delivery services such as Grab, Uber, DoorDash, and FoodPanda gained a lot of traction because people preferred to order from the comforts of their own home.
Because restaurants couldn’t accommodate dine-in customers, they also pivoted to their take-out options by working with one of these food delivery services.
This resulted in a mass hiring of drivers from all walks of life so that orders are continuously fulfilled every single day.
Today, we’re reviewing another food delivery service that’s considered to be the OG delivery service in the USA. This is Grubhub.
First of all, I must Congratulate you for taking your time to do your own research before buying into any "seemingly good" product.
That's the way to avoid scams and find the legitimate way to make money online!
Let me be completely transparent with you, I'm not associated with Grubhub in any form.
So, rest assured that I'm not here to pitch or sell anything to you.
Instead, I'm here to reveal how you can take advantage of this program...
Product Name: Grubhub
Founder: Grubhub and Seamless
Product Type: Food Delivery Provider
Price: Free to join
Best For: People with cars or bikes
Summary: Grubhub is a food delivery app similar to Grab and UberEats. But this income opportunity leaves a lot to be desired. It doesn't have a positive reputation with its users, so it may be difficult to land bookings as a driver. On the other hand, drivers love working for Grubhub so there's that side as well.

Welcome to my Healy World review!
You’re probably thinking. A MLM company that sells fitness and medical watches? Insane, right? Well, this company does exist and we’re going to uncover what it has to offer to its members.

Founder: Marcus Schmieke
Product Type: Health and Wellness Device
Price: $497 to $2,497 business package
Best For: No One!
Summary: Healy World is a MLM company that markets health and wellness gadgets that operate on frequencies, but there's nothing of value here. On top of having no scientific proof that their medical claims are real, their products are on the expensive side. They're as expensive as commercial brands such as Apple and Samsung.

Welcome to my Noni By New Age review!
This MLM company has been around for more than 20 years now, but has recently gone through a rebrand of sorts. You’ve probably seen a bottle or two in various small shops or herbal stores in where you live.

Product Name: Noni By New Age
Founder: Kerry Asay
Product Type: Health and Wellness MLM
Price: Starter Packages from $299 to $365
Best For: No one!
Summary: Noni By New Age is a health and wellness MLM company that's been around for more than 20 years. But despite its old age, it has a lot of things that we just don't agree with. First, the autoship system really kills it for us. Second, they incentivize recruitment more than retail sales. Your retail sales are reliant on making autoship subs. It won't take long before they are investigated by the FTC.

Welcome to my AdFeedz review!
This Ponzi scheme has been around for quite some time now, but has only started to proliferate on social media just recently. When we found it under our radar, we were surprised to know that it was still operating amidst its MO (modus operandi).
If you want to know what we’re talking about, this is AdFeedz.

Product Name: AdFeedz
Founder: Merry Makowski
Product Type: Paid Traffic MLM
Price: $29 minimum investment
Best For: No one!
Summary: AdFeedz is a paid traffic MLM ponzi scheme that even they themselves admit to. Sure, they present a valid product, but it's nothing more than pseudo-compliance. Their incentives are based on recruiting people, and they literally have nothing else to offer.
