Welcome to my Bizrate Rewards review!
If someone told you about a paid survey site that doesn't pay out real cash, you must've thought they were crazy. But one site exists.
And that is Bizrate Rewards!
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 Bizrate Rewards in any form.
So, rest assured that I'm not here to pitch or sell anything to you.
Instead, I'm here to reveal why Bizrate Rewards is not your ordinary paid survey intermediary site, and why they work the way they do.
Is Bizrate Rewards a scam, or is it going to help you earn money?
Read on and find out...
Product Name: Bizrate Rewards
Founder: Henri Asseily and Farhad Mohit
Product Type: Paid Survey Intermediary Site
Price: Free to join.
Best For: People who appreciate just completing surveys for a gift card.
Summary: Bizrate Rewards is not a scam. It's a legitimate paid survey site that compensates their customers via gift cards. Unfortunately, I can't advise anyone to take part in their program for three reasons. First, there's no CASH PAYOUT, which automatically means that you can't turn this into a sideline or a part-time income gig. Second, the payout per survey is low (and I'll go into more details for this one). Third, there's no dashboard or app to keep track of the progress or see available surveys. Lastly, they use deceptive advertising to sell magazine subscriptions. These subscriptions will cost customers time and money if they don't cancel on time.

Welcome to my Life Force International review!
There are hundreds of MLM companies that sell and distribute health and wellness products, each vying for the title of being the best company in the world. And one of the contenders is Life Force International.
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 Life Force International 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 Life Force International is all about, from their product line to what makes them valuable to the industry.
Is Life Force International a scam? Or is it a legitimate business opportunity provider?
Let's find out...
Product Name: Life Force International
Founder: Wayne and Gerri Hillman
Product Type: Health and Wellness MLM
Price: Not disclosed
Best For: No one.
Summary: Life Force International is a legitimate MLM company that distributes health and wellness products. But in an industry that's already crowded, there are other reasons why I can't recommend this business to anyone. First, the company is flagged as a pyramid scheme by the FTC (I have the document to prove it) and it should tell you enough about their money-making opportunity. Second, the requirements to stay as an associate are strict. Signing up for a monthly autoship volume based on your rank is a deal breaker. Lastly, the products are expensive, and in an already crowded industry, customers will always want to buy the best product for their buck.

Welcome to my Life Leadership review!
If you ever got invited to join a personal development course that could also help you put a few dollars in your pocket, then you probably got invited to Life Leadership.

Is Life Leadership a scam, or is it the real deal?
You be the judge.
Read on to find out more about their company...
Product Name: Life Leadership
Founder: Chris Brady and Orrin Woodward
Product Type: Personal and Professional Development Programs MLM
Price: $99 for Business Starter Kit + Various Monthly Subscriptions
Best For: People who are charismatic and confident in selling programs like Life Leadership.
Summary: Life Leadership is a legitimate MLM company with a legitimate business opportunity that sells personal and professional development programs. But despite its unique offerings, I can't recommend this to anyone. First, no one's earning any money (and I got the proof!) Second, there's a clear lack of transparency on their educational and training materials to the point that members have to subscribe to them just to know how to sell them. Lastly, personal and professional development is a crowded niche. There are thousands of other (and better) programs out there than Life Leadership!

Welcome to my Visalus review!
From the many health and wellness MLM companies out there, one tries to stand out from the rest (and sadly, not for the right reason). That company is Visalus.
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 Visalus in any form.
So, rest assured that I'm not here to pitch or sell anything to you.
Instead, I'm here to reveal the story behind Visalus and their business opportunity. Are you really losing weight, or just losing money?
We'll find out in this article...
Product Name: Visalus
Founder: Blair Mallen and Nick Sarnicola
Product Type: Health and Wellness (Weight Loss)
Price: $499 for the Executive Visalus Promotor Kit or $999 for the Star Visalus Promotor Kit
Best For: No one
Summary: Visalus is a legitimate MLM company that's been flagged by the FTC or Federal Trade Commission as a pyramid scheme (I'll show you in this article). For that reason alone, I cannot recommend this company nor their business opportunity to anyone. On top of that, the founders and management are always dealing with a lawsuit, which is giving the company more bad reputation and making them lose more money to settle. Lastly, the signup costs are expensive, but that's the least of your concerns with Visalus.

Welcome to my 24Option review!
If there's one trading platform out there that you can trust from all the rest, it's 24Option.
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 24Option 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 sets this trading platform on a league of its own, and why it does what it does to be the best.
Is 24Option a scam, or is it a legitimate trading platform?
Find out in this article...
Product Name: 24Option
Founder: Rodeler Limited
Product Type: Trading Platform for Forex, CFD, Stocks, and Cryptocurrency
Price: Minimum deposit varies depending on account. Starts out at EUR 250 for Basic and up to EUR 50,000 for Platinum.
Best For: Novice and experienced traders who want to take their trading to the next level, and who are aware of the current market trends and its associated risks.
Summary: 24Option is one of the most trusted trading platform on the Internet. It's a platform that I can recommend to both novice and experienced traders for the following reasons. First, the platform is heavily regulated, so it can't afford to do anything wrong. Second, their site is user-friendly and has multilingual support. Third, they have a fully functional demo account that provides you with a learning experience without worrying about losing money. Lastly, they have impressive customer support, both in helping and training their traders.

Welcome to my Level Rewards review!
You're probably thinking "Not another GPT site review". But this one's different. Today, we're talking about Level Rewards.
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 Level Rewards in any form.
So, rest assured that I'm not here to pitch or sell anything to you.
Instead, I'm here to reveal why Level Rewards is different from all the other GPT rewards site out there and why it's a hit with some people.
Is Level Rewards a scam that's out to get you, or will it help you earn passive income?
Read on and find out...
Product Name: Level Rewards
Founder: Not Disclosed
Product Type: Get Paid To (GPT) Rewards Site
Price: Free to join ( but paid offers will ask for credit card information)
Best For: People who know how to make GPT sites work for them by referring people and creating content around it.
Summary: Level Rewards is a legitimate GPT or Get Paid To Rewards site that provides a unique referral program to its members. While it's a decent program, it's a program that I can't recommend. First, the leveling system may hinder members from earning income. Second, there's limited income potential (and I'll show you some math behind it) due to their leveling system. Lastly, the sponsors can be disappointing because the site doesn't have an official training program and they rely on sponsors to train members. If your sponsor doesn't do the work of training you, you're not going to go far with this program. However, if you're looking for some quick cash online, Level Rewards can help you with that. Just don't expect a lot of it.

Welcome to my Karatbars review!
An MLM company that sells gold bullions? You're probably thinking I'm crazy for even saying something like that. But in reality, a company like that exists. That company is Karatbars.
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 Karatbars 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 makes Karatbars unique from all the other MLM companies and what makes their gold-en opportunity tick.
Is Karatbars a scam?
We'll find out in this article.
Product Name: Karatbars
Founder: Harald Seiz
Product Type: Gold Investment MLM
Price: Package prices vary (from $135 for Bronze Package to $800 for Gold Package)
Best For: People who are familiar with gold and commodities trading, and who are capable of trading these products
Summary: Karatbars International is a legitimate MLM company that sells gold bullions per gram. But I would not recommend their business opportunity to anyone. First, they have scam warnings from countries like Canada and Netherlands. People from these countries are advised to not invest in the products. Second, their gold price per gram is higher than global market price, which would make this difficult to trade and get your money back.

Welcome to my American Income Life review!
If you ever received an email saying that you got a job as a customer representative for an insurance company, you've probably been contacted by American Income Life.

Is American Income Life a scam?

Product Name: American Income Life
Founder: Harold Goodman and Bernard Rapoport
Product Type: Insurance Policies MLM
Price: $490 for training fee
Best For: People who are good at selling insurance policies
Summary: American Income Life is a legitimate insurance company with a legitimate business opportunity. But this is not a program that I would recommend to anyone. First, they're an MLM company and they're not offering you a job, and they don't disclose this when they advertise. Second, they have a very high turnover rate for their sales representatives (and I'll show you in this article). Lastly, any business-related expense comes out of your own pocket, so if you're spending a lot to close a sale, then you've probably lost money.

Welcome to my Fast Cash Club review!
If you're an inexperienced trader who stumbled across a 100% - Risk Free trading software, you probably found Fast Cash Club.
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 Fast Cash Club in any form.
So, rest assured that I'm not here to pitch or sell anything to you.
Instead, I'm here to reveal why this binary options trading software is bogus, and I have the evidence to prove it in my Fast Cash Club review.
Product Name: Fast Cash Club
Founder: Aaron Martin and John Harris
Product Type: Binary Options Trading Software
Price: Free to join, but minimum deposit of $250 to start trading
Best For: No one.
Summary: Fast Cash Club is a binary trading options platform developed by Aaron Martin and John Harris. However, there's sufficient evidence that the program is anything but legitimate. The site uses fake owners and fake testimonials (and I have proof) to carry out its messages. Even their technical support adviser appears to be fake. The people involved in the creation of this program do not exist. This is more than enough for me to assume that there's nothing legal being carried out by this company.

Welcome to my GrabPoints review!
Probably one of the few legitimate and reliable Get Paid To / Rewards site, GrabPoints tries to stand out from the rest of its competitors.
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 GrabPoints in any form.
So, rest assured that I'm not here to pitch or sell anything to you.
Instead, I'm here to reveal why GrabPoints is not all that cracked up to be, and I'll show you in my GrabPoints review why it's both good and bad.
Product Name: GrabPoints
Founder: Grab Rewards LTD
Product Type: Get Paid To Rewards Site
Price: Free
Best For: People who want to make their idle Internet usage more productive by earning a little money and not intended for people who expect to make some serious cash.
Summary: GrabPoints is one of those legitimate GPT or Get Paid To rewards site that has no complaints about people not getting paid. However, I cannot fully recommend this program to anyone if they're looking to earn some serious cash online. The income potential is seriously low (I'll prove it in this article) and it takes a long time to make it worth your while. Second, the Paid Offers can be an issue if users don't read through the agreements or disclaimer.
