Adam Cherrington’s Affiliate Marketing Program Review – Is it Legit or a Total Scam?

This review of Adam Cherrington and his program is going to explain what you need to know before you try it, including:

1. If it’s really a scam or if it’s legitimate.
2. How it really works.
3. The pros and cons.
4. How much you can expect to spend if you buy it.
5. And if there’s better alternatives (in my opinion, there is a BETTER option, but more on that later).

The quick overview:

• Name: Invisible Affiliate System (other AKAs I found: Adam’s Method)
• Owners: Adam Cherrington
• Pricing: Some sources I found cite numbers like $29,000 to even $90,000+
• What is it? A course showing you how to make money with affiliate marketing arbitrage. 1 on 1 coaching is included.
• Is it a scam? No, but there’s objective things to consider.
• Rating: Pending

Do I recommend Adam’s program? I can’t yet:

I do believe that Adam’s program may indeed have very good value and can teach you to make money online, but there are several things to consider in my opinion:

1. Several sources cite very high prices for this program ($20,000+ and even higher) and if it’s true, then this is one of the most expensive programs I’ve ever seen.
2. This program uses paid ads to make money online which is it’s own extra cost and may not be ideal for people tight on money.
3. There are other things to consider which I’ll cover shortly below.

Bottom line: I am a full time online businessman (I also do affiliate marketing) and I think that Adam’s program may very well be legitimate, but other than his own success story and the reviews/sources I found, it’s hard to recommend such an expensive program as of yet. I would like to have seen more independent user reviews from this program, on places like Trustpilot or similar to see what others say. If that updates in the future, I’d be happy to update this review too.

Better alternatives? Yes (More info on that below).

Back to the review:

Summary of the program:

According to several sources, Adam Cherrington and his program (Adam’s Method or possibly Invisible Affiliate System) is a program that teaches people how to make money online via affiliate marketing arbitrage.

Affiliate marketing is a form of promoting other people’s products for commissions but there is a bit of a different spin on it in this program in that you don’t do it the normal way (through Google, Facebook Ads or other common methods). According to this blog, here is how it works:

1. You promote affiliate offers through people who already have their own email lists and pay for every single time someone pushes a button to click from that email to go to the offer.
2. This method then scales where you find out which offers/emails get you the most sales and continue from there.

While I do affiliate marketing personally, this type of method is very new to me and it’s quite smart in my opinion. The “invisible” affiliate stuff really makes a lot of sense here because it’s very unorthodox.

How much does Adam’s program cost?

Several sources cite different numbers and here they are:

• $28,000+ from this source.
• $39,000+  to even $99,000+ from this source and also this source.
• I even found one forum post alledging you can get access to a program called 7 Pillar Invisible Affiliate System for $97 but I looked up the site and saw you have to first book a phone call so I can’t verify if that’s the case.
• Other review sites like this show that there are other programs by Adam with different high price points.
• Most of the reviews I have found cite the same $20,000+ numbers.

Here’s one screenshot I found that verifies at least one of the above numbers:

Pros:

• You get 1 on 1 mentoring from Adam which I like
• Uses a method of affiliate marketing which I believe has good potential.
• There’s a good chance that the method has less competition than other affiliate marketing models out there
• I liked Adam’s story which I recommend checking out

Cons:

• The program can be extremely expensive according to the above sources (financing is available according to this source).
• Paid ads are also required to make this work ($1,000s and possibly more in investment).
• May not be an ideal program for those tight on money.
• I did not see many success stories (It may be because not many can afford to buy the program).
• There’s a 90 day a refund policy but according to this source, it requires a number of strict criteria be met beforehand.

My final thoughts on Adam’s program and possibly better alternatives:

As someone who currently makes money online full time with affiliate marketing, I do believe that Adam’s program can work. Is it a scam? No, not in my opinion but in these situations I have to take an objective look at what I found and here are some stand out things:

• The strategy taught is quite intriguing
• The program does offer 1 on 1 mentoring which is great
• The program is very expensive in my opinion
• There are paid ad costs on top of that to consider according to the sources
• Other than the sources I cited, I couldn’t find enough independent student/user reviews on third party sites to see what others think

IF this program was under $100 or so, I would not mind buying it myself and checking it out but the prices I saw (with screenshots) are just too much for me personally and I’m someone who makes a full time income as an affiliate and I never had to spend so much to learn such material.

At the very least I do recommend taking a look at what Adam presents and decide for yourself if this is something you’d be interested in. I left a link above to his site for that.

To conclude, in my opinion this program has potential and can work but you need to understand the financial requirements involved and decide if it’s something you’re ready to invest in. Obviously this will also take hard work and application to work out too, but that’s just a given.

Alternatives? Yep! Why the Wealthy Affiliate (WA) program is my top choice:

 

Wealthy Affiliate is the program I learned all of my affiliate marketing skills from as well as the reason why I make money online full time today.

While they do provide affiliate marketing training, their main specialty is helping people create a profitable website on any passions you have in life and monetizing it various ways (which includes affiliate marketing).

So if you love mountain biking for example, they’ll show you how to create a profitable website on mountain bikes (promoting them, putting ads on the site, etc…).

Here’s why it’s better than Adam’s program in my opinion:

1. It’s free to join (literally, no CC required).
2. It’s very beginner friendly.
3. Better on YOUR wallet ($0 to try, then $49/month).
4. It teaches multiple ways to do affiliate marketing
5. Tons of success stories
6. Tons of positive reviews (4.9 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot, 500+ reviews).
7. Excellent support including expert coaching.

Bottom line: You don’t have to invest crazy money with Wealthy Affiliate (or in general to succeed online).

It’s free to test drive and only $49/month (or for the best membership, $99/month) if you decide to stick around. One of the many fallacies I often run into is that because a program is expensive, it means it’s worth it. Perhaps that’s true in certain cases, but with Wealthy Affiliate, you get immense value and you can actually try it for free to see that.

Wealthy Affiliate vs Adam’s program (comparison):

My recommendation? Wealthy Affiliate (here’s how to get started):

1. Join here (its free)
2. Complete the set up process which has you create your first passion based website.
3. Start your training

The value of the Wealthy Affiliate (WA) speaks for itself and if you have any doubt (which is totally normal), test drive them risk free and yes it’s actually risk free (there’s literally no credit card required).

Here’s what you get when you try the program today (all included):

• Access to the Starter Membership of Wealthy Affiliate.
• 5 lesson getting started course.
• Access to the WA community (help/support).
• 7 days coaching from me, Vitaliy (one of WA’s top experts).
• And much more (join WA today and see it all for yourself).

The program does have an optional upgrade called Premium after the Starter Membership that I do highly recommend, but more than that, I recommend you first:

• Try the Starter Membership (it’s free).
• Immerse yourself in the program so you get the most out of it.
• Use my 7 day coaching! You can contact me directly inside WA.

Wealthy Affiliate works, but it is also not a get rich quick scheme.

It will teach you how to build a REAL online business of your dreams and if you apply the training they have and work hard, you will become one of it’s MANY success stories.

And frankly speaking, I want to see you do just that. As your coach, one of my goals is to see just hat and I’ll help you along your journey there too).
