Launch You Review

After stumbling upon an “introductory video” link on YouTube by Mitch Webber, my inbox became inundated with weekly, bi-weekly, and even daily emails urging me to take action.

Being unemployed, I eventually caved about two weeks ago and watched the videos outlining the process, promising a life transformation for a mere $37.

Skeptical but hopeful, I followed through, hoping to quiet the nagging doubt that this was just another scheme to profit off others.

So, I paid the $37 and eagerly began the course, only to be swiftly redirected to the Launchpad page.

Here, the costs skyrocketed exponentially with an exchange rate of around ZAR 20/ $US 1, making it prohibitively expensive for a mere possibility.

As I soon discovered, there was yet another upsell lurking, demanding thousands of dollars!

Sure, if you’re coming from a cushy high-paying job in the UK and dreaming of relocating to a picturesque hillside in Portugal or Spain, this might seem like the perfect solution.

But for those of us struggling to make ends meet while unemployed, this is far from a viable income replacement option.

A very deceitful affiliate marketing program.

Initially, the introduction material leads you to think the company will guide you through a genuine internet marketing program. No, their intentions are for you to re-sell the initial marketing material.

So basically selling a scam program to deceive other internet users. There is no value gained other than understanding that internet affiliate marketing is mostly a scam and Launch You are fraudsters.

They will use any thread of excuse to not refund any of the money paid out even if the training was not undertaken.

They also use recurring card payments which are harder for you to stop because you are relying on Launch You to stop them.

Do not go near anything to do with Launch You.

The presentation is very slick and clever. However, there is very little value received after hours and hours spent on weekly calls, so-called training, etc.

It is all about upselling and selling the course to other unfortunate buyers.

After months of being in the course, you never get to the core of things.

Then they launch a new program that costs more money with the promise that this is the answer to all – only to find that the facts and how-to’s are still just out of reach.

If you are looking to get into online marketing, please don’t waste your hard-earned money and time on this course.

After a while, you realize there are so-called success stories that just don’t add up. Weekly calls to action are just fluff to get you to believe it’ll pan out and you’ll have a ‘eureka’ moment.

I feel conned and misled. I fell for it and wasted £12,000+ for over two years.

2020 – I went into this with great expectations and full of gusto, but quickly found that it was challenging, especially being international.

I was constantly looking for support and not really finding it. I hate the idea that you’re expected to seek support from within the ‘communities’ rather than reaching out for professional help. That wasn’t really all that helpful either to be honest. I felt like a loser for even asking. And the communities are full of other people struggling to make sense of how to make even one sale.

You have to really put yourself out there. Videos of yourself talking about how you now have an online business, who you are, etc., are so not me. That’s when I started to tap out. That’s not living my best life, that’s for sure. Which is what they bang on about constantly. Living your best life. Make money while you sleep in that 24/7 island resort.

2021 – I ended up starting a bricks and mortar business before I wasted any more money. No regrets.

Follow your passion in life, but be smart about it. There’s no easy ride. Thinking that you can start something you have no clue about and don’t know if you are going to like it is a waste of time and money.

I found Launch You when I was stuck at home during COVID-19. We had just started a guest house with a cafe/restaurant, and suddenly everything closed. We were in Portugal, and I could not speak Portuguese at that stage.

I came across The LaunchPad training and started the learning. I now have three sites – all of them are earning us an income. I plan to start and run one more. Then, my wife and I will be able to retire and travel while living off my income from the three sites.

Everything you need to build a business online, all in one place, is there with LaunchPad. You even get advice, a website address, and full access to WordPress. This training costs $999 (or can be acquired on lower monthly payments), and the access is valid for a year.

We are talking strategy and the actual tools to implement Authority Marketing with all the advanced help and technology required. On top of this, there is an opportunity to upgrade and get one-on-one training, group training, or get someone to do parts for you.

Modern Wealthy was great as a ‘sample’ or ‘map’ to see what is involved. To get my three sites up and running, I had to commit to learning the skills needed – and focusing to establish this new way of life.

I am not rich, but I have paid off my mortgage, and we are building up a decent savings set-up. We are planning a 3-week tour of Japan, something Vicki has always wanted to do. So, things are looking great, and we are once again excited about the future.

My initial contact with an affiliate marketer and subsequently Stuart Ross himself, and their natural and honest way of presenting the deal, caught my attention.

However, during registration for the Modern Wealthy program, I realized that the hard-core marketing only featured them to get you to invest in more expensive material that seemingly guaranteed success.

I stuck to my initial testing of the waters by registering for Modern Wealthy and then came to a few realizations.

You have to buy the $ 1,000 package if you really wish to receive the nuts and bolts of getting into this business.

At first, it seemed every new member immediately became an affiliate marketer for the course. I felt that was off, and it recalled images of a Ponzi scheme.

I was wandering through the social media pages. There seem to be members making it beyond the start line and mediocre shot at this business.

Also, there are many “Top Contributors” and “Mentors” to contact and deal with to get the required information or experience to become a successful online entrepreneur.

Thanks to this course, I didn’t just dip my toes into the online world — I made my first money online! The people I met along the way were priceless in helping me gain knowledge, understanding, and experience for this endeavor and future business endeavors.

It was like someone turned on a light, revealing all these exciting opportunities and investments I’d never considered before. And guess what? It even sparked the idea for me to launch my own blog.

Launch You is definitely not the cheapest option, but it was worth every penny for the structured, in-depth training it offers. Plus, their community is a great resource for peer support and up-to-date industry knowledge.

I was extremely skeptical about the Launch You program until I took a chance at it and started to go through their training program. They practice what they preach by offering support and groups where newbies can come to ask questions. It can be a bit confusing at first with all the emails you get, but once you get on the phone with one of their advisors, they set you on the right track.

Since I’m completely new to affiliate marketing, I was a bit skeptical to review Launch You because I have nothing to compare it with. Also, I only purchased the Modern Wealthy component of the course, rather than the full program known as LaunchPad.

My introduction to this course came from interacting with a Facebook ad. The video message was the typical “take control of your life and time by making money online” type of thing. I subscribed to the email list and received more stories about the system in the next few weeks, how others had found freedom, etc.

The initial offer was $39 with a 30-day refund policy, which grants you access to the Modern Wealthy section of the platform. You receive an e-book on authority marketing (which Stuart claims to be a newly-discovered concept), 7 quick-start videos, and access to the private Facebook group.

The e-book and videos are mainly introductory, highlighting the main concepts of affiliate marketing and e-commerce. Still, they are largely an advertisement for the Launch You program of 997 dollars.

I took an introductory group call with one of the mentors. It was lacking in detail and very much filled with motivational talk, so I didn’t subscribe to the full program.

As far as the Facebook group goes, it seemed populated by complete newbies and a large number of affiliates. I would have liked some real-life examples of people making affiliate sites. Also, most of the messages are about inspiration, i.e. taking baby steps to build the life of your dreams. Perhaps more techie questions are answered behind the scenes, but it didn’t feel like that.

Many of the “success stories” listed on the website are pushing the course. You can also run your ad campaign for LaunchPad to get new members to sign up and earn an affiliate commission. I know there is a degree of marketing present in all courses, but if you’re making money from what you have learned, why are you investing so much time in selling the course to others?

My doubts were strengthened when an almost identical Facebook ad popped up in my feed. Although it was another person recommending the course this time, it felt like the same thing. Upon further research, I discovered that there is a lot more work involved in affiliate marketing than what Launch You suggests.
