My Top 4 Recommendations!

Updated:  28 October 2018

I must admit and apologize that I have now found out that, yes indeed IBOtoolbox/IBOsocial is a scam and a total waste of time.

I have many friends at IBO and that is the only reason that I have yet to write a full article on this and also why I have waited until now to update this post.

To the friends who I have in the past referred to IBO, I sincerely apologize and am now asking for your forgiveness.

I didn't know that the traffic at IBO was almost all entirely fake, now I do know!

How did I find out?

As a past Club IBO member ($19.95 per month) I created a banner ad and pointed the traffic to my website specifying only one platform within IBO to share it on.  I also uploaded a few YouTube videos and had my website there as well.

Much to my surprise, my traffic shot up!

At first I was excited but then I saw that the time spent on my site along with my bounce rate were negatively affected.  Not only that but I was getting traffic from all of the other IBO sites as well.  

What?

Yes, that confused me as well, how did my banners and/or YouTube videos get seen on those other IBO sites.  

I then had an idea …… I uploaded more random YouTube videos and pointed the link to my own IBOsocial Profile page.

Guess what happened?

Overnight, I became the #1 traffic leader at the site, so I loaded more and yes I remained easily the traffic leader by far.

I also did the same thing with 2 separate profiles and had the same results, it was so easy.

What happened?

I am so glad that you asked, it has become so obvious that IBO utilizes BOTS on their sites.  I am so amazed that they haven't been found out by Google Adsense as the fake traffic should be against their terms of service…… then again, Google probably doesn't care as long as they are being paid by their advertisers.

Are you reading this and are a member at IBO?  Send me a message if you want more details on the sharing of YouTube while having the learn more link directed to your IBOsocial Profile page.  Any YouTube video 🙂 Load about 13 of them and you'll see that within 24 hours you'll be a traffic leader.  

OK, I am usually not a negative person and that is why I haven't openly disclosed this information until now but I must now share so that more friends don't fall for the IBOtoolbox/IBOsocial scam, especially Kris Karafotas who is either the owner and/or the owner trusts her to run the show there. 

Terrible support & leadership is also part of the IBO scam, the community of friends is the only reason why I stayed a member as long as I did.  Please disregard all of the content below as it was written back when I had no idea that IBO was a scam.

IBOsocial is a scam

Earning a living on the Internet is an extremely actual possibility. Regrettably, like several various other money-making ventures, scammers discover methods to make use of unwary people wanting to work at home online. Consequently, if you're searching for a tested legit on-line home business, you have to do your research and due diligence to vet out the opportunities you locate.

The difficulty is to compare just what is legitimate as well as exactly what isn't. The primary step remains in understanding how scammers and schemers attempt to dupe you. After that, you should know ways to research as well as pick a qualified online business choice.

Tricks Work-At-Home Scammers Use

The first step to identifying if an on the internet chance is legit, is to recognize what fraudsters do to entice you in. Commonly fraud websites look legitimate, suggesting they've appeared on reliable news websites and making fantastic earnings cases. Right here are a couple of things to watch for:

1. Significant revenue insurance claims and warranties.

While there are on-line entrepreneurs that make $10,000 a month, you can bet none are doing whatever program you're looking at. The reality is, the majority of people don't make significantly online. Better, if the word “guarantee” is made use of, never mind analysis on. No person can properly (or legally) assure you earnings unless its a work and also you're being used a salary. While these websites are appealing, utilize your head as well as walk away otherwise you'll end up shedding cash.

2. Quick revenue.

Right alongside large money promises are the cases that you could have it quick, such as in 30 days. Fast, large cash is absolutely impractical. Think of it: if you could truly make $10,000 a month beginning in 30 days doing virtually absolutely nothing, would not everybody be doing it? Wouldn't you personally recognize at the very least someone doing it?

3. Sign up with now or lose out. Fraudsters want to make use of the trick that you could lose out if you don't act currently. Do not fall for this. Any type of legit work-at-home possibility will certainly be good whether you get in today, tomorrow or following year. Poor programs typically are gone within a few months (although they reincarnate a great deal).

4. All your problems fixed.

Fraudsters are the very best copywriters on the planet. Whatever factor you have to make money online, they'll promise it. It's as if their advertisements are composed specifically to you. It's tough to stand up to a program that will certainly fix all your problems, yet you need to ignore the hype and also fluff and also look for the meat of the program. When you do, you'll find that there is no meat. Scammers make huge pledges however are obscure on the details on just how that will happen.

5. No or challenging reimbursement plan.

Without a reimbursement plan, it can be hard to obtain your money back. Some programs use a refund but make you jump with hoops and also reveal evidence of your efforts before they'll consider it. While you can often obtain your cash back when you've been scammed if you submit a fraud report with your credit card business or bank, you're much better off not squandering your cash in the top place.

The Internet does not have magical powers to enable you to earn magnificent incomes over night. Any program that recommends or else is lying to you.

Ways To Research Online Home Income Opportunities

When you discover a Website providing an on the internet organisation possibility that interest you, investigate it before parting with your cash. Some things to check consist of:

1. Search for info

There should be an e-mail or phone number you can call. A physical address is handy too; however many scammers will use the name and also address of reputable firms. Having the ability to call or email allows you to speak with the company. Keep in mind that scammers are good at reacting to pre-sale emails, however not so much customer assistance or reimbursement demands.

2. Validate references

Try to find logo designs on the site of the respective customer defense badges on like the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Truste.org, Alexa Ranking, i-Cop. org. Don't simply see that they're on the site, as several fraudsters will certainly have these banners making them look legit. Instead, click these logos and also you be required to the customer website where the details is located.

Seek out the domain name on the DomainTools.com (previously called Who is) site and see the registration details.For instance, you do not intend to see a telephone number provided as 1234567890. Note, that often scammers will certainly make their details exclusive; although that doesn't indicate a personal enrollment is a fraud. It just indicates you have to do even more work.

If the company makes various other insurance claims, such as honors won or is supported by a person you trust (i.e. a medical professional or celebrity), do a Google search to confirm it. Fraudsters lie.

3. Read the guarantees and also refund plan

All reputable programs will use a warranty, such as a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee. Make sure the assurance is long enough that you could evaluate the program completely. Seven or 14 days isn't really long enough to learn, apply as well as generate income in an on the internet service.

Keep in mind that scammers will certainly “provide” a guarantee, too. Your goal is to read the plan very carefully making certain there're no concealed policies. The very best means to shield on your own from a fraudster that provides an assurance however doesn't repay is to utilize your bank card.

4. Comprehend what the work-at-home program includes

Some of these programs are full of hype as well as guarantees, yet no details on exactly what you'll actually be doing making money. If you reach completion of the sales page as well as do not know exactly how the money is made, walk away.

5. See if there are training as well as support

There's a whole lot that goes into getting a business possibility including learning more about the services or products you'll be selling as well as the advertising strategy. Fraudsters will frequently guarantee great deals of assistance then go away.

6. Review the fine print

I'm usually stunned at just how frequently individuals do not review what they're enrolling in, particularly if they're sending cash. The small print is where fraudsters will certainly obtain ya. It's partly just how they protect themselves from lawful problems. Also in legitimate companies, you have to read the agreement and small print.

6. See exactly what others are stating concerning the program online

A fast Google search using the program name+scam can reveal a whole lot. Pay attention to what people are stating. For instance, if there are issues about non-existent customer support or a failure to get a refund, that's a warning.

7. Rest on it

Remember, any type of program that is good today will certainly excel tomorrow. Stay clear of customer's regret as well as getting scammed by stepping away. Because scammers ready copywriters, you're often believing emotionally, tempted by the concept that all your loan troubles will be fixed if you just sign up with currently. However if you take the time to think about it, you have a possibility to let you going get in the game, providing common sense an opportunity to weigh in.

  2. Hi Tony, 

    Great information here on your site.

    You seem to really know a lot about Affiliate Marketing. 

    You have a great perspective on Wealthy Affiliate and Marketing in general, You offer grate advice and an in depth look into the do’s and don’ts of what to look out for when it comes to SCAMMERS. 

    I almost signed up for MOBE, but luckily I found out they were shut down by the FTC before joining. 

    I like that you talk about how some Affiliate companies offer loads of money, but don’t really explain how you will be making the money. It is just a bunch of false hope or promises that lead nowhere.

    I love your “social media traffic exchange” review where you explain how to make money while you grow your online business and other ways to make money online. 

    I get why they call you the “Marketing genius and veteran” You really know what you are talking about here. 

    I love your websites and all you share to help others looking to make an honest living online! 

    Thank you Tony and I wish you continued success!

  5. Hello Tony,

    Your information is solid and easy to follow. i found out many items to look out for while reading your article. 

    The specifics are to me the most valuable and seem to be of the utmost importance when looking for a work from home program that is legit.

    After debunking, or giving information on what to look for and allowing others to join you and learn more is an incredible tool for the beginner. 

    Transparency is very well done. Anyone can see that you are legit and ready to help others build their dream of being a business owner and earning money on their terms and time. 

    The encouragement you offer and insight to other credible platforms in affiliate marketing is a plus as well. 

    This gives your audience more options and may open their minds to other areas that they enjoy to build a stronger web presence. 

    Thank you for your Superfantastic recommendations!!!

  7. I used to fall for these scams because I was looking for the easy way out and thus I lost a lot of money. I thought that these get-rich-schemes would have a secret blueprint, formula or magic button that I could push and that it would make me money without me lifting another finger.

    But what I soon came to realize is that they were all the same and so I started reading reviews about them. That’s when I realized that I had to change my mindset; if I wanted to make any money online, then I had to learn and most importantly, WORK for it.

    I am currently with Wealthy Affiliate and I am so glad I joined this program. As a person who had no knowledge of how money is made online, I have progressed so much! I now understand so much more of what happens behind the scenes and what it takes to be successful.

    glad I found your site. Great information here for really anyone interested in making money online. 

    Your Social Media Traffic Exchange intrigued me and I like the uniqueness of it.

    Would you elaborate on how much traffic is generated, or is it based on “banner credits”? 

    Also, are the banners rotated as the page(s) are loaded or for every page view? 

    I’m interested in this because this could be a very easy and straightforward way to gain traffic. 

    Thanks Tony.

    • Hey Thomas,

      thank you for finding this post on my website y Friend.

      The Social Media Traffic Exchange site is indeed very unique, even compared to other traffic exchanges because SMTE is a secure site.

      The banners that are viewed are based upon what size banners that you share along with the amount of Friends who utilize the traffic exchange.

      SMTE is indeed a straightforward and secure way to gain traffic to websites and/or affiliate links as well.

      You are welcome back anytime Thomas and welcome to Social Media Traffic Exchange my Friend,

    • Hi there Derek,

      You are welcome and thank you for stopping by to comment as well as for your question about affiliate and niche site marketing in 2018 and beyond.

      I see affiliate marketing going more toward social media sites and less into the long blog writing of the past.

      I do believe that potential buyers will still search the internet for information and recommendations as well as reviews.

      Because more and more are becoming tech savvy and are more inclined to buy directly from the source even after reading and receiving great information on a niche website.

      The way that I see this not being the case is when the niche blog writer/reviewer is also utilizing social media and has created an audience.

      Thank you Derek, you are welcome back anytime my Friend.

  15. Thank you for sharing Tony,

    I don’t know if I can sign-up for all of the sites at once. 

    Which site do you recommend as the best to get started for making money online?

    Is any of them better for a beginner trying to make money online? 

    I’m just not sure where I should start.

    • Hi Ty,

      The first site that I would highly recommend for you being a beginner would be Wealthy Affiliate.

      For anyone who is already a member of Wealthy Affiliate, I would next highly recommend Global Moneyline as it’s a wonderful place to share the WA Referrals Links as well as any other Affiliate Program and/or website.

      3rd of the 4 that I would recommend would be Social Media Traffic Exchange as it’s also a wonderful site to share Wealthy Affiliate and/or any secure website and/or affiliate links and banners.

      Last of the 4 that I would highly recommend is IBO IBOsocial / IBOtoolbox, not because it’s less of a great site than the other three, mainly because it’s more in depth and involved than the other 3 and also highly populated with other Internet Marketers.  It is actually a wonderful place to share all 3 of the other sites as well as any website and/or affiliate links.

      Thank you Ty for stopping by and for your questions my Friend, you are welcome back anytime.

    I really love your advice to join the other platforms to cover the cost of going premium at wealthy affiliate.

    The best of luck with your endeavors.

    Thanks for the intriguing advice! I’m really interested in Social Media Traffic Exchange and these other programs you’ve recommended. 

    I am already a part of the Wealthy Affiliate community, but I’m interested in these others. 

    What do they cost to join?

    I have been looking for ways to promote Wealthy Affiliate, but I haven’t had any success trying this on Google+ and that’s the only place I’ve really tried.

  18. I also heard wealthy affiliate before and I also have heard a lot of success stories as well. 

    I wonder how long it takes to reach success. 

    What are your experiences with it and how much should I work? 

    I think of working a couple of hours every day. 

    What are your experiences with these?

      Success is different for each of us my Friend and there are so many variables involved.

      I do know that I have assisted many Friends to become financially free when they joined me at Wealthy Affiliate along with the other 3 sites that I have recommended here.

      Friends who are coachable and have focus are able to accomplish great success and reach their goals in a relatively short time compared to those who aren’t.

      Thank you Furkan for your wonderful question, you are welcome anytime my Friend and I will be here to assist you when you ask.

  20. Hi Tony

    I just wanted to thank you for this blog post as it helped me better understand how to go about the W.A side of things and of course the other recommendations; I have much to learn from W. A and btw, my profile name on there is Micky501, and I also wanted to thank you for following me,whatever led you to do so,thank you so much for that as I am in need of people who are genuine about their goals, businesses and their walk with God as well as with a desire to return the blessing/favour. I appreciate on W.A there are many people from different parts of the world with different belief systems but it is amazing to see what you have done with this website (loving the Captain Tony drawing btw) and of course with what the founders of W.A have done as well considering what bad rep affiliate marketing can get but as well as the good etc.

    Anyway, if you do feel led to get back in touch, please do so either via here or through other methods if you so desire such as PM on W.A or email. Be blessed and hope all goes well for you and the community around you! 🙂 Mike

  26. Thanks for these 4 recommendations Tony.

    From what I gather wealthy affiliate is the main training source at which you’ll learn how to make money online / build a business.

    Then the other programs are ways to help you increase traffic to your current websites.

    Do you use all 4 of these programs on a daily basis, and if so which one would you say helped you the most to make a full time living online?

  28. Hi Tony, lots of gems in your post, and some of your advice I already have taken action with (i.e. I am a Wealthy Affiliate member for over 2 years now)…

    I will look at the other tools you advise getting and using, they are not ones I know or have dealt with to now. My main focus at the moment is e-commerce, but I still dabble in affiliate marketing…

    In that regard, the Social Media Traffic Exchange might be the one that is most appropriate for the social marketing side of my business. That one I will for sure look at…

    Global MoneyLine is one that I will look at too. I have a limited amount of time I use for affiliate marketing at the moment, as building the e-commerce business is a large endeavor…

    The last recommendation, the IBO Toolbox, is definitely one I will check out. I am always interested in getting to know other marketers in the niches.

    I appreciate the time you have spent putting this post together, there is no doubt that you are helping lead people in the right direction when it comes to online marketing and sales.

    Cheers!

  34. Thank you for sharing I heard about a number of software programs that offer affiliate market training. 

    I never could find the one I wanted however Awol cost $100 per month which i found to be too expensive.

    Wealthy Affiliate sounds like something i would interested in for sure. 

    I ask how much does it cost to get a yearly membership?

    Reply
    • You are welcome Silvano,

      I have never heard of Awol but it doesn’t sound good to me because in the Army that acronym means “Absent Without Leave” and a Soldier would get Court Martialed for that.

      I am a Veteran of The United States Army and would never wish being court martialed onto anyone.

      Also Silvano, I would love to welcome you to Wealthy Affiliate my Friend as that was a very great choice to get started with.

      Wealthy Affiliate has the Free Starter Member that you first sign up to and can remain a Free Starter Member as long as you want and/or need to as it’s not a free trial.  

      The Free Starter Membership never ends until you decide to Upgrade to becoming a Premium Member at WA at which time you will receive the 1st month at the discounted rate of $19.

      After your 1st month of Premium will have the option to either pay monthly at a rate of $49 per month or at the discounted yearly rate of $359. 

      Thank you for your question Silvano, contact me anytime my Friend.

    Great recommendations!

    I think all of these programs are good and they will integrate well with one another. 

    My only concern would be for someone who is a complete newbie to online marketing as they could become overwhelmed trying to setup and integrate four different platforms. 

    Is there a sequence that you would recommend when setting these up?

    Reply
    • Hi David,

      great point and question my Friend!

      Yes, I would recommend for a complete newbie to Online Marketing start at Wealthy Affiliate, then go to Social Media Traffic Exchange to be able to share their WA Affiliate link as well as banners so as to then be able to cover the cost of upgrading at WA.

      Next I would recommend Global MoneyLine because that site is also a very easy place to share both WA and SMTE in order to earn even more referrals and grow the monthly passive and residual income.

      Lastly I would recommend the IBOtoolbox / IBOsocial site as it is a more complicated and detailed site full of Internet Marketers sharing many different programs within the platform.

      The IBO site is an amazing site as well as are the other 3 above are, anyone who wants to earn an income online will surely be able to when joining the sites and following my advice when asking for it.

      Even more advanced Internet Marketers can click on the menu tab above that says “Other Recommendations” to see how I earn an even greater amount of income online as well as help many Friends earn online also.

      Thank you very much David for this great question that I believe will help so many readers of this post.

    I’ve actually heard of Wealthy Affiliate, IBOToolbox and Global Money Line before.

    And after looking into those 3 programs, I would definitely say that WA is the best place for starting and learning to build a profitable business as an affiliate marketer.

    As for your other recommendations, I see them as traffic sources for when you already have a business in place.

    I do also like that all 4 methods allow us to get started with no money down. 🙂

      Yes I agree my Friend that Wealthy Affiliate is indeed by far the best place for anyone just starting to learn internet marketing to start with.

      As far as waiting to join the other recommendations, I must disagree with you.

      The 3 other sites are great place to share your WA Affiliate link an/or banners at to gain referrals to Wealthy Affiliate Neil.

      The ability to get started at all 4 of them and remain a free member as long as needed without having to give financial information is an absolutely great value included.

    Thank you for letting us know about your top 4 recommendations to use to make money and online success with.

    I see you have given 4 sites that should be joined and was wondering if they work in the same way or if one complements the other and how much will I need to maintain the accounts and make money through them?

    Reply
    • Hello Dave,

      the 4 sites are definitely not to be joined my Friend & they do indeed compliment one another.

      All 4 sites can be utilized as a Free member and all 4 have the ability to earn as a Free member as well.

      They do of course all have the ability to earn more when upgrading and the return on investment ROI is amazing with all 4 when a Friend is able to upgrade with them.

      I also personally assist all Friends who ask me for help in order for them to be able to earn with all 4 of them, 1 of them or even 2 or 3 of them.  The best results will happen when all 4 are utilized together but a new Friend can and should go at their own pace.
