The primary goal of my site (eBiz Facts) is to save you time and money while building an online business.
A core part of that is letting you know which money-making paths are legit, and which you should avoid.
Jake Paul’s Edfluence is one you should definitely avoid.
From Megan Farokhmanesh’s devastating takedown of the course at The Verge:
The $7 video involves a lot of cliché showboating about how “content is king,” and absurdly basic advice about studying popular influencers and keeping to a schedule. Paul tops it off with an over-the-top promise that is dishonest at best, and predatory at worst: “If you do social media right, and really take this course seriously, you can buy all of the things that you’ve dreamed of and make millions of dollars. It’s not a joke.”
Yes, only Jake Paul can save you from the horrors of an average life with a bad boss and a 9-to-5 job in a cubicle. But first, you need to pay him an additional $57.

My favorite part:
It’s difficult to tell how much was a scam and how much was born from Calloway’s extremely Instagram-friendly attitude of believing that good intentions and the right attitude can accomplish anything right up until any work is involved.
