Is The Ecom Formula A Scam Or Will You Make $40K+/Month?

It’s hard not to get excited when checking out The Ecom Formula but does it really work?

Is The Ecom Formula a scam system that just wants to part you from your money or will you really make $40K+ a month?

I’m glad you’re also thinking about these types of questions that led you to my review post of The Ecom Formula and I can assure you that the information you’ll get in my review below will answer all the questions you may have for this product.

I’ve reviewed many products in this making money online arena, especially those promoted on Clickbank, and I can tell you that this is going to be not what you need.

I will expand more about this in my review and so let’s get to the follow sections:

WHAT IS THE ECOM FORMULA?

---

 

Program Name: The Ecom Formula

Website: theecomformula.com

Price: $37 + Upsells

Owner: Neil Atkinson

Recommended? No

---

The Ecom Formula claims to have the secret formula to making $40K+ a month from ecommerce and making that kind of money in the shortest amount of time as well.

The sale video goes over and over again the amount of money you can make with e-commerce and this is very typical of these Clickbank products.

 

 

They want you to get in touch with your emotions and feeling like you can earn all this money really fast or imagine how it would feel if you had no money problems.

The sales video claims that The Ecom Formula is a “step by step” program that can take you from zero to making 5 digits in no time.

The owner Neil even says he only works one to two hours a day to make his $2 million a year from e-commerce.

E-commerce is certainly a way to make money online and a lot of it but will The Ecom Formula really get you there for $37?

Do you really think you’ll get the training you’ll need to make $40K a month by using his program for $37?

No way!

These Clickbank products all really turn out the same, a huge disappointment.  I did my research of this product and found out that you’re really not going to get much from buying into The Ecom Formula.

The same disappointment I had when I bought into these other Clickbank products:

• The Kindle Sniper
• The AZ Code
• Five Minute Profit Sites
• 60 Minute Profit Plan
• 30 Minute Money Methods

 

 

HOW THE ECOM FORMULA REALLY WORKS

---

Products like The Ecom Formula really skews the perception of how making money online really works.

 

E-Commerce Is Not As Easy As The ECom Formula Makes It Sound

Being a shop owner is no easy task, and I know this because I had two, yummybabygifts.com which I’ve already shut down, but I still have jessicadolls.com which I’ll probably shut it down soon as well.

Working as a shop owner will definitely require more than 1 – 2 hours a day of work.  Whatever Neil said is a pure lie, though I can’t prove this one but I will prove the other testimonials in a second.

But from my personal experience, being a shop owner is not as easy as The Ecom Formula make it sound and you are responsible for all of the following:

• Product creation
• Product sourcing
• Packaging
• Branding
• Distribution
• Payment processing
• Building an e-commerce site
• Marketing & promotions
• Shipping & delivery
• Customer Service
• Refunds & exchanges

The list goes on and on and while there are ways to alleviate some of these tasks like doing drop shipping but you are still left with half of that list to do.

So working 1-2 hours a day on your shop will not make you much money, I used to work day and night on my shops but I did hand make the products which was the worse part of my shops.

The big aspect why I don’t do online shops anymore, besides having to make the products, is because I wanted to make more passive income and you can’t get there with online shops.

Ironically, The Ecom Formula sales video stated what I’ve been using to make my passive income from is dead and that you can’t make money in affiliate marketing anymore which is furthest from the truth.

Affiliate marketing is as strong as ever if not even better as you can literally find an affiliate product for any niche you can think of with all the products and services that are online these days.

The other thing I wanted to mention about e-commerce is that you always have to be promoting, as in free and paid advertising, it’s a constant thing you need to do or you get no sales.

On the flip side, my affiliate marketing business doesn’t need me to advertise and I get over a thousand visitors a day on my site without spending a dime on advertising because I have learned how to build this business properly and with the right techniques.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you a bit of perspective of what I think about e-commerce since I’ve had that experience and wanted to let you know it’s way more involved than they make it seem.

It also costs a lot more to build this e-commerce business than what I do, an affiliate marketing business.

 

Will The Ecom Formula Get You To $40K+/Month?

Not likely.

This is because the The Ecom Formula only provides you with very little training materials to learn from:

• 4 PDF files that total only 53 pages
• 9 videos

The information you get is very generic (just like all the other Clickbank products I’ve bought into) and looks like even information you can even find online for free.

The training is very high level as well and there are definitely no “step-by-step” training on anything so you’ll just be pointed to where you would create a store like on Shopify or from a Woocommerce plugin but you’ll have to figure out on your own how to do everything.

So spending $37 is just not going to get you to $40K/month with what they deliver inside the members area.

As well, there are tons of menus that don’t even link to anything and does not even work, so they have built a members area that’s basically fake and you’re just using the two links you get to download the PDFs and videos.

 

Fake Testimonials

The Ecom Formula cannot be trusted because the video testimonials are not real and I know this because I recognize the same people being used in other products and these are actors you can hire on freelancing sites like fiverr.com.

Here are some examples I have found here:

 

Here’s another one:

 

They also use stock photos as well to tell their fake success stories:

So you see, all their stories of making thousands of dollars are all fake because they are actors and just stock photos.

Those people have probably never heard of The Ecom Formula until that day they got the order to make those videos so nobody has banked that much money from buying The Ecom Formula.

 

Upsells After Upsells

Like all the other Clickbank products, they never give you all the pricing upfront and you’ll be up-sold as soon as you buy in.

They will want you to also buy this and that to make your chances of success higher, etc, but it’s just another way for them to make more money from you.

This also means the $37 stand alone product will not deliver what they say in their sales video.

 

 

IS THE ECOM FORMULA A SCAM?

---

I guess The Ecom Formula is not a scam because you do get something for your money but is it worth buying?

Absolutely not since the information is very generic and it’s info you can find for free on the web.

There are no special techniques shown that would propel your success to $40K+ a month or anything of the sort they claimed in the sales video.

Were you misled into buying this product based on promises they can’t deliver?  Yes, certainly and some would consider this a scam because of this fact.

You don’t even get basic step-by-step instructions on how to get your online shop up and running so how do you think you’ll get any sales since they don’t even go into that part of the equation of getting traffic to your shop which is vital to any success of e-commerce?

You won’t from this The Ecom Formula product.  Yes there are people making big money in this space but you’re sure not going to get there with The Ecom Formula.

The only saving grace here is that Clickbank certainly gives you refunds but I always have to request it 3 times before the vendors give the refund, so it’s not so easy as “no questions asked” for their 60 day money back guarantee.

I have to conclude that I do not recommend The Ecom Formula.
