You’re here because you probably heard (or read) Jeff Lerner’s The Millionaire Shortcut eBook and want to know if it’s legitimate or if “there’s something else going on”.
Well the truth is mixed in my opinion because I’ve read the eBook and this no holds barred review is going to share everything you need to know about it.
Before I get started with all of this, there’s 3 important things you need to know:
1) I am an experienced individual in what Jeff shares in his eBook which is about making money online (therefore I can tell you if what is said is BS or real).
2) The Millionaire Shortcut is really just a pitch to get you to join a program called Entre Institute and after trying both things (the eBook and part of the Entre program), here is my opinion/rating of each thing:
- My rating for The Millionaire Shortcut: 10 out of 100 points (poor).
- My rating for Entre Institute: 35 out of 100 points (legit, but not very good).
3) There are much better alternatives to The Millionaire Shortcut, Entre Institute and making money online and ironically it’s through the same methods Jeff’s program teaches (but for a better deal, more success stories, less hype and more much more substance in my opinion). But more on that below.
With these 3 things out of the way, let’s start this Millionaire Shortcut review:
Summary of The Millionaire Shortcut (30,000 foot overview):
The eBook is free, but only 15 pages long. What this book introduces people to is how to make money online through digital real estate which is basically a fancy phrase for making money online.
Basically if you run a profitable website, that’s digital real estate in a nutshell (there’s way more to it than that though). Aside from this, there are 2 other things shared in the Millionaire Shortcut:
- First is Jeff’s story of how he overcame massive debt and became successful at making money online.
- Second is Jeff pitching his Entre Institute program to you and having him teach you and be your mentor at making money online the same way he did.
Why did I give it a 10 out of 100? Because the eBook is super vague, hyped up and offers very little value overall in my opinion. I am not a fan of such content (and trust me, I’ve seen and read tons of it).
Entre Institute (the next step after The Millionaire Shortcut, my experiences there and why I’m not happy):
Entre Institute, unlike Millionaire Shortcut is where Jeff Lerner teaches you specifics on how to make money online. The first problem though is that the program isn’t cheap. In fact, it’s divided into several tiers:
The Entre intro program ($39). This is the one I tried and it’s basically a series of videos (6 steps) where Jeff teases how he teaches you to make money online and this is through 3 make money online models:
- Affiliate marketing (promoting other people’s products).
- Digital agencies (helping businesses advertise online).
- Making eCourses (finding a niche you love, making a course and selling it).
The problem though is that while this $39 program is WAY more detailed than The Millionaire Shortcut, it is still not a program that in my opinion you can even get started with. It’s just a preview of the potential and what else is to come, if you buy more that is and that is where the next level comes in:
The Entre full program ($3,997). This is where you supposedly get the “real info” and “full training”. I didn’t buy this because I was really disappointed and done with the program by this point.
Plus I already have and make money online with the 3 business models so I don’t need to spend an extra $3,000+ to learn this. I left.
Entre Institute can go even higher than $3,997? I’ve heard allegations that it can:
I’ve had several people claiming to be members of this program message me and at least one of them shared a startling message that alledges the following price tags beyond the $3,997 membership to Entre:
Why did I give the Entre Institute program 35 out of 100 points?
- Poor value in the $39 program in my opinion.
- I refuse to pay $3,997 to learn the “real stuff”.
- The calls I was bombarded annoyed me like crazy (I think it’s pushy, spammy and doesn’t give me enough space to decide for myself). I’ve provided proof of this on the right for reference:
And by the way, I’m not even taking into consideration the allegations that the costs can rise up to $60,000. That may or may not be true (but if it is, then my opinion of Entre would be even lower).
But anyway, my reasons for leaving are strictly based on the above 3 reasons.
My final conclusions on The Millionaire Shortcut (and what to do next):
I had optimism when I first heard of Jeff Lerner and his Millionaire Shortcut eBook. However, the deeper I went into Jeff’s funnel, the more and more the disappointments piled up, and I am not a fan of what I saw. Just to reiiterate what I mean:
- I was very disappointed with the Millionaire Shortcut eBook (low quality in my opinion).
- I was even more disappointed with the Entre $39 program (low value, calls, texts and messages).
- I was unhappy when I heard that $3,997 was when I’d get the full info.
- And I was even less surprised (but still holding out on a position) when I heard multiple people say the $3,997 is not the final level of Entre.
I’ve been around the block in the internet marketing world and have seen programs like this come and go, where they start you off on a free or low price tag, provide some good marketing methods and then the prices mount to $100s, $1,000s or even $10,000s.
I am not a fan of recommending such expensive programs, even if they are legitimate (for what it’s worth I do think Entre Institute is legitimate, but you gotta pay to find out and that’s just ridiculous in my opinion).
Bottom line: If the program can’t prove it’s high quality when I pay little or nothing, then I am sure not paying more to find out if it’s the real deal, especially since I already know what IS the real deal:
Alternatives to Millionaire Shortcut/Entre Institute? Yep! Here’s my top choice
(The program I rate 100 out of 100):
It’s called Wealthy Affiliate. It also teaches the same ways to succeed online as Entre Institute (affiliate marketing, digital agencies/local marketing and more).
Before I explain why it’s WAY better in my opinion, let me just say that the value Wealthy Affiliate offers (which you can try it risk free) is VERY HIGH to say the least and is in huge contrast to what I saw in Millionaire Shortcut and Entre Institute.
Everything I saw in Entre Institute, I have already known about and made money from thanks to Wealthy Affiliate’s training. It’s why I know what Entre teaches works, but also why I know you can learn it in better places like Wealthy Affiliate.
Here’s why it’s better than Entre Institute in my opinion:
- It’s free to test drive (no CC needed).
- It’s more beginner friendly.
- Better on YOUR wallet ($0 to try, then $49/month).
- It has similar training that Entre Institute has.
- WA’s free training is way better than Entre’s $39 membership.
- It has more success stories than Entre Institute.
- You get the best support including expert coaching.
- And there’s much more.
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 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 test drive for free first to see that.
Here’s a side by side comparison of Wealthy Affiliate vs Entre Institute:
My recommendation? Wealthy Affiliate (here’s how to get started):
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.
There’s literally no credit card required and you can look around the program and make your own independent decision.
In my opinion, their free membership already has 100x more value than Entre’s $39 program and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Here’s what you get when you try the program today (all included):
- Access to the Starter Membership of Wealthy Affiliate.
- 10 lesson getting started course.
- 1 website included.
- 7 day 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 risk 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).
