Earn Easy Commissions Review – Ponzi Scheme?
“Earn a $100,000 online with this easy done for you system that does all the selling for you, and you don’t need to pay a single cent for it”.
That’s the message you’ve been given.
Honestly, if you are totally new to the internet marketing or the make money online industry, I am certain that you’ll be hooked by this.
The question is, can you truly make $100,000 with this autopilot system? It seems too good to be true.
And, is it 100% free?
That’s what I am going to discuss with you in the Earn Easy Commissions Review.
[NOTE: If you are looking to join this program, read the section on “Is Earn Easy Commissions a Scam” below.]
There’s a lot of exciting discovery that no affiliates of the program will share…

What is Earn Easy Commissions?
This program is created by Chuck Nugyen, who was the creator of another program called the “Digital Elites Academy”.
Chuck was also the owner of a domain name called chucksaboss.com, but it is now not active anymore.
Earn Easy Commissions is basically an upgrade of the Digital Elites Academy.
It uses the same hyped marketing techniques and bold income claims to get you excited about the program.
The only difference between Digital Elites Academy and Earn Easy Commissions is that the Digital Elites Academy cost $49 to join, while Earn Easy Commissions is “free”.
Similar to the Digital Elites Academy, Earn Easy Commissions is said to provide any beginner a chance to make money online without the hassle of learning or creating anything.
Earn Easy Commissions affiliates are inclined to post ads that looks like this on Facebook:
I bet you’ve seen plenty of similar ads. Doesn’t it make you want to know more?
If I am a total newbie, hell yeah!
It is said that the 90% of the work has already been done, and the only thing you need to do is to drive traffic to it the Earn Easy Commissions sales page, and the rest will be taken care of.
There is a typical saying, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

How much does Earn Easy Commissions actually cost (isn’t it FREE)?
There are 3 levels of membership:
- Free Membership
- Pro Membership
- VIP Partner
What I like is that the free membership is actually free. There’s no catch to this.
But, if you’d like to build an email list (which I am pretty sure you don’t know what is it for if you are totally new to the industry), you’ll need to acquire memberships to GetResponse (an email marketing tool), and Click Magick (a link tracking tool). This will cost a minimum of $32 per month for both tools.
And, if you decide to upgrade your account to the VIP Partner Membership, the cost is $750.
Is Earn Easy Commissions a Scam?
Now, before I get into the details, I want to let you know that I could have made a lot of money promoting the Earn Easy Commissions, but I chose not to, and I’ll give you the reasons below.
Normally I wouldn’t speak negatively about a program just because it has some flaws, but because I truly believe that Earn Easy Commissions is a downright Ponzi scheme in disguise, that’s why I couldn’t help my negative vibe.
I’m sure there will be a lot of Earn Easy Commissions affiliates will start trashing this review, but just let me lay out the facts here.
This is an abstract of what the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the “Government”, claims as a Ponzi scheme:
Source: www.ftc.gov
While Earn Easy Commission is not a textbook Ponzi scheme, it has a lot of similarities. I’ll explain more…
How can Earn Easy Commissions be a Ponzi Scheme?
There’ll be a lot of affiliates who will claim that this program is not a Ponzi Scheme.
Earn Easy Commissions basically has a training program in the VIP Partner Membership that can post as a product.
However, the training program, the “Product”, is geared towards teaching you how to drive traffic to Earn Easy Commissions, which is a self-recruitment platform.
The product doesn’t add much value to its customers.
Moreover, here’s what you need to know…
As I’ve mentioned earlier, Chuck Nyugen was the creator of the Digital Elites Academy and past members pay $47 to get access to the training program.
But now, you are paying an inflated price of $750 for something that could have been purchased for $47.
Does the “Product” worth $750? I honestly don’t think so.
How Does Earn Easy Commissions Work?
In any scenario, as long as someone is paying for the VIP Partner membership, Earn Easy Commission gets paid.
For the purpose of easy explanation, I’ll leave out the $1 or $1.20 per qualified lead and the affiliate commissions from other programs like Click Magick and Get Response.
Scenario 1
In the first scenario (refer to the image above), your sponsor (the person who introduced you to Earn Easy Commissions) is a VIP Partner, and you are a free member.
You’ve referred someone to the program and that person became a VIP Partner.
If you study the VIP Partner perks carefully, it says that you’ll earn a $100 for your 2nd tier referrals who became VIP Partners.
So, a $100 goes to you because you didn’t purchase the VIP Partner Membership, a $100 goes to your sponsor, $100 goes to the profit sharing pool, and the rest ($450) goes to none other than Chuck Nguyen.
Scenario 2
In this scenario, your sponsor is a free member, and you are a VIP Partner, and you’ve referred a person who became a VIP Partner.
So, out of the $750 your referral paid for the VIP Partner membership, you will earn $500, your sponsor earns nothing, $100 goes to the profit sharing pool, and the remaining $150 goes to Chuck Nguyen.
Scenario 3
Everyone is a VIP Partner.
You’ll get $500, your sponsor will get $100, another $100 goes to the profit sharing pool, and the remaining $50 goes to Chuck Nguyen.
Wonderful! Isn’t it?
You see, these are the things that Chuck failed to share in his presentation, and there is a very good reason why.
He makes the profit without you knowing, and you think that he is such a genuine person for helping people out.
Everyone should be happy because they are getting paid, even for the free members. That’s why it is called the perfect scheme.
Oh, I forgot to add another scenario…
Scenario 4
If everyone is a FREE member, nobody gets paid! Simple as that.
Finding a legitimate online business opportunity is tough. Let me lend you my helping hand.
Is this Model Sustainable?
This model will always require new joiners to become a VIP Partner.
Without VIP Partner sales, the program wouldn’t work.
But, given that the sales videos run automatically, and it has a good sales conversion rate, the program may last.
The way that this could be shut down, is when the authorities step in…
Or, when the hype dies down, like the “Digital Elites Academy”.
If the Digital Elites Academy is so great in the past, why didn’t it continue, right?
Paying for the VIP Partner membership doesn’t give you any value other than the opportunity to earn higher tier commissions.
This is a straight up Ponzi scheme in the books of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
I have no doubt that you can earn money…
Earning money with Earn Easy Commissions is definitely possible.
But, there is a possibility that you won’t too.
So, let me ask you one question…
“What if Earn Easy Commissions gets shut down tomorrow?”
Will you be able to find another way to earn money online?
And what if you are the one who just got into this program with a VIP Partner Membership…
Then, it gets shut down?
All of your investment will go down the drain.
Now that I’ve laid out all the cards on the table, the decision is yours to make.
I’ll be super upfront with you, that I am recommending you to another program called Wealthy Affiliate, because I don’t want you to get hurt with this “opportunity”.
You see, when I do find a legitimate programs like Authority Hacker, Inbox Blueprint, Legendary Marketer, Fizzle, and Wealthy Affiliate, I’ll promote them unconditionally, because those programs put your interest at heart.
Honestly, Earn Easy Commissions is not the first of its kind, there are many other programs similar to it, like Yoonla, Total Funnel System, Easy 1 Up, Guaranteed Sign Ups System and many others.
My Sincere Advice to You
There’s probably hundreds of ways for you to make money online, and if you are new to this industry, finding a legitimate program could be a horrifying experience.
I’ve been through that stage, and have washed thousands of dollars down the drain.
I hope that doesn’t happen to you.
The reason I set up this website is because I want to prevent anybody from being scammed online, to the best of my ability.
Whether or not you heed my advice, I know I’ve done my best.
The rest is up to you.
If you still want to join Earn Easy Commissions, go ahead, anyway you’ll still earn money without paying anything.
What I Recommend?
If you think you want to learn how to build a sustainable online business, that doesn’t depend on any one program or any guru, then I’ll suggest that you start with Wealthy Affiliate.
Wealthy Affiliate was the program that saved me from the pool of scams I was involved with in the past, and it is also the program that taught me everything I need to build a sustainable online business that eventually helped me fire my boss. Here’s my story.

Hey Buddy,
That’s the honest review because my opinion is very similar to this, but i include some points apart from ponzi scheme,
1. Affiliate gets zero value and providing false values to other affiliates.
2. All benefits getting by program by collecting emails, so they can sell emails or promote affiliate products even i am getting emails.
3. They only target top 4 tier countries. if they really wants to make benefit of affiliates they can target more countries, because everyone knows the value of top 4 tier countries.
Jack – I heard about WA but never tried but ill try now and learn something new, thanks for recommending 🙂
Cheers,
Vishal Gouda
Hey Vishal,
Thank you so much for sharing your opinion!
You are most welcome! I do believe you will learn a lot from Wealthy Affiliate.
Cheers!

It is a very good thought for everybody to check out reviews for every single website before entering your info inside. Anyway, I made a mistake entering my Infos before reviewing and I’ll unsubscribe ASAP because this kind of schemes are in contradiction with my principles and beliefs. Google is full of scams and cheaters (very shame). Even if you want to work online as a freelancer and put your efforts on earning money this is quite impossible as there are so many phishy, scam websites out there and you can do nothing to deal with. It is so pitty for mothers and females who want to have an online-based work at home. Unfortunately I am disappointed. Anyway, thanks a lot for reviews…
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here Silvana!
Cheers!

Hi Jack.
Just to let you know that EEC are working together with WA.
I joined the WA from EEC, so why are you calling them a ponzi scheme and a scam if WA and EEC are working together? It doesn’t make much sense does it?
Also, EEC have just relaunched their program and is a multiple income stream program, hence why I have joined WA.
I would advise you to rethink your actions on disrespecting a program that is in joint venture with the program you think so highly of.
Just letting you know 🙂
Lol! WA and EEC is NOT working together and never will. Where did you get that information? I can simply message the WA founders and fact check with them, and knowing them for so long, I don’t think that they would do such a thing.
My only guess is that EEC puts WA into its sales funnel. That’s all.
Cheers!

I appreciate your review, it’s helpful. I’ve wanted to register with Wealthy Affiliates. But couldn’t, due to my location (Nigeria). I believe in Wealthy Affiliates and love it. What must I do extra to join it?
Hey Godwin,
I am glad that the review helped!
Unfortunately, Wealthy Affiliate has closed its doors to the people in Nigeria.
But, you may want to check this out instead.
Cheers!

Hi Jack, your review is so true. I am more like you in the past who have lost so much money on scam businesses like this. Thanks for the review which prevents me from loosing more money!

Cheers!

Wassup jack are there any good websites you would recommend to make fast and easy money is there is such as far as you and the FTC are concerned
Hey Ran,
Unfortunately, I would have to burst your bubble.
Fast and Easy Money is a pipe dream that marketers try to sell you.
It doesn’t exist in this world.
Think about it, if such a thing as a fast and easy money system really exist, everyone don’t really need to work anymore, isn’t it?
Honestly, making thousand or even millions of dollars online is possible, and people really did achieve such success.
But, they didn’t tell you the full picture. The number hours they put into the business, the struggles that they face, the sacrifices that they made to eventually got to that stage.
No one is interested in that. They are more interested in the instant gratification, that probably a “system” can help solve.
Hope this will help you open your eyes to see the reality, and stop chasing pipe dreams.
If you are serious about starting an online business from scratch, then I recommend that you read my story on all the struggles and sacrifices I’ve made to achieve my success.
Cheers!

Hi Jack are you doing?
I really liked your review and thanks a lot.
Can we have a quick meeting so that I can ask you some questions, please?
Thanks in advance.
Hey Pedro,
Sure, you can send me a message on Facebook: http://barenakedscam.com/jack/fbchat

Why are you bashing Easy Earn Commissions so you can promote your Wealthy Affiliate site? You reviewed your own site so of course you gave it 5 starts. Wow, putting other people down so you can be on top.
Well, if Earn Easy Commission is a good program, don’t you think that I will promote it as well?
Don’t you think that I will make more money promoting this than sending people to Wealthy Affiliate? I’ll be honest with you, I can promote Earn Easy Commission and earn a lot of money (because of the traffic I am getting), but I chose not to because of the facts I’ve found.
Since the facts doesn’t convince you, so be it. The final decision is yours. My job is only to inform, and if you don’t take advice then go ahead with EEC. Don’t say that I didn’t inform you upfront.
I’ve seen so many of these programs shutting down and reviving over the years. And, so many people lost money with these kind of programs.
I don’t see any problems protecting people who are genuinely interested to earn money online.
Thank you for your thoughts though.
Cheers!

Hey I just signed up to this program and even made a blog about it, but honestly I needed more insight in what I was falling into. Right now I don’t think I want to go for another program that just lies to me anymore. I’ve been through so many already, can you suggest me one that doesn’t do any of this Ponzi or MLM schemes? Thank you so much for replying.
Hey Sergio,
I would recommend that you check out Wealthy Affiliate because it is one of the best affiliate marketing courses on the market.
Cheers!
~Jack (BareNakedScam)
I registered for free and didn’t feel upgrading. But to the extend that i will be promoting it to my ongoing blogs.
You save me to feel terrible upon referring others. Glad you had this info up.
Thanks so much.
You are most welcome Anne! I am glad that helped!
Cheers!

Hey, liked your review….. unfortunately like an idiot I succumbed and quickly realised that it was a scam with no product but with the profit sharing thought I may slowly recover what I paid. Now I am told that this profit sharing is for 8 weeks only. I don’t remember this…………. you wouldn’t know I suppose.
Cheers.Fred
I didn’t know about this Fred, and I am glad that you are sharing this.
I hope people will find out about this and give leave a comment here to verify if this is true.
Cheers!

I believed John Michael and signed up, only to find that they are changing the system so that you can no longer earn from all referrals. The advertising doesn’t mention that, quite the opposite!
Thanks for sharing this Arthur!
Cheers!
