John Chow dot Com reader, Shannon Bishop, sent me a ReviewMe request to review MoreCashClub.com, an Internet club that helps its members make more cash. How does it do that? I’m going to tell you.

What Is MoreCashClub.com?

In a nutshell, MoreCashClub.com is an Internet club. Members pay $500 to join. What do you get for $500? A whole heap of e-products and $400 for every new member you refer to the club.

All members are given an affiliate ID that they use to send traffic to MoreCashClub.com. If someone signs up for the $500 membership, $400 is paid instantly to the affiliate who signed them up. That 80% affiliate payout has to be the highest in the industry. Then again, I think the high payout is needed because there are a bunch of things wrong with the system.

No Highlighting of The Products

When I first saw the MoreCashClub.com home page I was thinking, “OK. Another Seven Day System slamming.” However, Shannon gave me a login to the Member’s Area so I was able to check out all the 300+ e-products.

The products aren’t half bad. The sheer quantity of them can be overwhelming. The full download is 227MB. The files contain software programs, eBooks and pre-made, ready to use, Get Rich Quick websites. I had a great time looking through them and I actually may use some of those ready made sites for a case study call, “Can you get rich quick with Get Rich Quick sites?” The ready made sites are really ready made. All you need to do is upload it, set up a PPC campaign to send the site traffic and watch the money roll in. At least, that’s what you hope for.

While it’s questionable whether the products are worth $500, I do believe members are getting some value. This is especially true for Internet marketing newbies because there are a lot files with eBooks for beginners. So far, I haven’t found anything new or revolutionary but I’ve only gone through a third of the files.

MoreCashClub.com place almost no emphasis on the products other than a very poorly done products page. Everything is based around trying to get people to join the club and earn $400 per referral. However, I can’t see many conversions with the current site.

Really Bad Sales Copy

MoreCashClub.com needs to hire a copywriter desperately. The main page has so many spelling, grammar and punctuation errors that you can’t even keep count. Formatting is horrible. There are quotes that are not attributed to anyone. The site uses a magnitude of different fonts, with some that are impossible to read. That might be a good thing because you may end up with a headache after reading a paragraph like this one.

I believe YOU CAN have this kind of lifestyle, while earning $3,000 to $5,000 a week or more, working only an hour or two each day, with Your Very Own Home Based Business? Making money online has never been easier!

The above wouldn’t be excusable even if English is not your first language. The amazing thing is, in the MoreCashClub.com about page, it states that Shannon Bishop is an author!

TOS Violations Galore

MoreCashClub.com features third party advertising at the bottom of the page. That in itself would make members not promote the site because they don’t make money from the ads, Shannon does. Either Shannon hasn’t read the Google AdSense TOS or she just doesn’t care. Some pages have seven Google ads. In addition, Shannon has this little notice near the checkout box:

We are the best at what we do. If you don’t believe us, check out some of our competitors in the sponsored links, at the bottom of this page!

Gee, I wonder if that violates the, “May not encourage users to click the Google ads” rule?

Conflicting Messages and Credibility Problems

If you just follow our proven system, it will be impossible for you to fail!

This Package does not come with a refund policy.

MoreCashClub.com features an image near the checkout box that says the site uses 128bit SSL. However, the only form of payment it accepts is PayPal. Why do you need SSL when you don’t handle the sales transaction? I have a prize for anyone who can find MoreCashClub.com’s SSL certificate.

The site features a Microsoft.net icon but it’s hosted on a Linux server. There are also icons from the American Marketing Association, SEMPO and SMA-NA. I really wonder if MoreCashClub.com belongs to any of them. The Meet The team page had this little gem:

In 2006, Morecashclub, Inc. did nearly 1 million in sales and 75% was paid to the members in her program.

A check of the Whois shows the site didn’t go live until March 2007.

Even if the sales copy had perfect English, these conflicting images really makes one question the professionalism of the site. The funny thing is, Shannon Bishop probably thinks the SLL, Microsoft.net and other icons adds to the credibility.

Should You Join The Club?

If MoreCashClub.com wishes to get more members, they’re going to have to completely redo the sales page, correct all the conflicting messages and remove the third party advertising that only makes money for Shannon Bishop. As it stands right now, I don’t see many people joining.

In a way, that’s kinda sad because the e-products really aren’t half bad. Mind you, you could probably find them all on the Net for free but by the time you find the last one, you may wish you had just paid the $500.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a Get Rich Quick site to make. :twisted:

    It’s possible that a lot of their free material is pirated software they are giving away without a license.

    As a former member of the “Rich Jerks” I think that most of the content these sites give away is PLR (even the software) and so they’re ok. They give you a load of junk that if you hunted long enough you’d find elsewhere for free to rebrand as your own.

    In terms of value for money, my Rich Jerks membership cost me $30 for the month I stayed, a quick download of the 1GB+ of free stuff and cancel membership.

    Cancelling your membership after a month is obviously not a ringing endorsement but did you actually find any of the free stuff you downloaded useful?

    This is so clearly a scam I am amazed that anyone would be desperate enough to try it! Clearly this not only violates the Google TOS but could violate several Federal Laws on false advertising or at least misleading advertising and bad business practices. Does this “business” come across as a bit of a pyramid scheme or what? It did to me! Thanks for the review I am sure I am going to completely avoid this little internet scam and save myself some serious money.

    It isn’t. How is it a scam? Did somebody call you and say they got scammed. Everybody who joins this program is looking to make some money. When they sign up, that is what they do. I don’t have time to scam people. I don’t put a gun to their head and make them join. They join because they want to. There are over a 1000 of these programs world wide just like this one. If you think it’s a scam then don’t join. I didn’t put a gun to anybodies head.

    I am so sorry I did not saw this comment much earlier.

    What in the earth it does mean they sign up because they want to join? It does not make much sense in any case, let me answer your question How is it a scam?

    What i said was, it does look like scam, i did not said it was scam. And here is WHY i think that it looks like scam

    Your domain is registered through Domains By Proxy
    The whole system looks like a pyramid where the winner is one, the one at the top

    These are opinions I have in regard the morecashclub site. Now you tell me, why in the earth should i give money to someone (and i am saying someone) that i don’t even know who it is? The domain informations are hidden, who should i call if i get in trouble or want to be refunded or i won’t get paid for my referrals or there is a problem with the tracking code of the affiliate.

    The second thing that convinced me not to sign up with morecashclub.com is your comment, instead of trying to convince and prove me details and informations why I should not think this is a scam you kinda attacked me (with a poor comment tho). Do you think i care more if there are 1000 other similar sites or you are the only one, or i would care more how legit your service is?

    Any merchant who has adsense on the pages where the affiliate link takes you is skimming the affiliate traffic, and scamming their affiliates.

    Pretty good review but I think they set themselves up for a slamming. Whats up with people either copying content from you and asking you for a review or people asking for a Google Adsense ban for violating TOS!

    Yeah, I’m really not sure what Shannon was expecting from asking John to review her site. Maybe she was thinking any publicity is good publicity :shock:

    MyAvatars 0.2

    No I was not hoping for publicity. How much publicity can I really get? I mean really. I got 500 hits and 105 people made comments. I didn’t think I was going to get a Grammy for having a website with misspelled words and “violating Googles TOS” if so why do I still have an account with google. I just wanted to see how others viewed the site. I do pretty well in advertising. I thought this would be fun. It’s not the attention I was looking for but life goes on. John is not my enemy. He is simple a man who inspires his audience to do and say everything he says. Truth is out of 105 people 100 agree. I think that is very fascinating. And out of all of this negative exposure I got over the week end. I got 15 new members.

    If they can make “quick money” themself, they must keep those secrets. To ask others to join in is another “quick money” project. And this “project” should be the very good one than those introduced!
