I got an email from Neil Carter of Digital Formula. Neil loves sending me new things to check out. In fact, he says he’s already set up my account for this one.
Thanks, Neil! How thoughtful of you. Now I can have up to $36,233.71 in commissions? That’s an oddly specific number. Anyway, when I clicked on the link to get my commissions, this is what I saw:
Earn $1700 in Fast Profits every day? Sign me up! But wait…maybe we should do a little research first. What is Fast Profits? Can we REALLY earn $1700 a day? Let’s find out in this Fast Profits review!
But first!
I kind of have a bad feeling about this one already. I do like to keep an open mind, but you can already see from the video that this is probably not going to go well. So I’d like to give you an alternative way to do things.
What I do is called affiliate marketing, and it’s a completely legitimate way to make money online. There are tons and tons of opportunities in affiliate marketing. However, it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme. It takes time and dedication to get everything rolling. Is it worth it though?
Let me ask you…do you like to work from home? On your own time? In your slippers if you want? Do you not want your income to be limited by some stupid glass ceiling like a “regular” job? If you answered yes to all of those, then yes, it’s worth the effort!
Let me show you how it all works in my Free Guide to Making Money Online for Beginners. I’ll take you through the process and show you how you can connect with customers – without ever having inventory or worrying about customer service issues. It’s a beautiful thing!

What is Fast Profits?
Product: Fast Profits
Cost: $37
Owner(s): Michael Carson (Fake name and hopefully not this guy!)
Whelp, this video starts off like every other crappy sales video. First, you congratulate yourself for getting to watch it. Then, you are told that it’s a private and *highly* sensitive video. Let’s see if the rest of it is the same as all the others.
Here’s what else I learned:
- Earn up to $1700 per day and even more with 1 weird but simple trick
- This system has made 237 people $20,000 each in the last three weeks (suuuurrrrre it has.)
- You aren’t a millionaire yet because you don’t know how to truly use something that you already possess
- Legally earn life-changing amounts of money
- Earn fast money from e-commerce
Of course we have some fake testimonials. This is all par for the course.
I’m really sad my friend Rob isn’t in this video. Now I can’t play my favorite game, “Where in the world will Testimonial Guy show up next?” You can read about that game in my Voice Cash Pro Review.
You only need 3 things to get started:
- A laptop or mobile device
- An internet connection
- A desire to succeed
Michael is “freaking lazy” and only likes to spend an hour online per day. But he still clears over $2,000,000 a year.
This is not:
- Affiliate marketing
- Binary or Forex trading
- Online surveys
This one kills me. They use Jeff Bezos as an example of someone who’s earned tons of money in e-commerce. Yes, this is true. He sure did. But I hiiiggggghhhhly doubt he did it working one hour per day! In fact, he probably came up with a way to add more time in a day, and he probably works like 26 hours per day.
I don’t think comparing Jeff Bezos to this Fast Profits system is a fair comparison. I can imagine Jeff would not be happy about this!
Anyway, back to the show!
Michael perfected his system and let his computer illiterate father try it out without his guidance. After a few clicks he was all set up! And guess what? Good news!
Riiigggghhhhtttt! He made over $1k in his first day. I mean, are they serious with this? This is just not possible. Especially if you’re new.
Oh geez, here we go with this 8 clicks crap! What does this even mean??
Michael goes on to tell us that we can make all this money and we don’t need to know a single thing about business. You don’t need any previous experience. You don’t need to know exactly what to sell online. You don’t need to own any stock to make a fortune selling products online. All you have to do is follow a proven system!
And then we come to more fake testimonials.
This is a famous Testimonial Guy. (Although, not as famous as Rob from my Voice Cash Pro Review and MANY OTHERS!) We just saw this Testimonial Guy in the Million Dollar Replicator Review. What do these fake testimonials mean? It means that no one is actually making money with this system. Because if someone was making money with Fast Profits, they could use real testimonials.
So….how do you actually make all this money with this system? Let’s discuss.
How Does Fast Profits Work?
Well, we don’t know how this system really works because the video doesn’t show us! We know this has something to do with e-commerce, so it’s probably a product that teaches you about dropshipping.
I don’t have experience in dropshipping myself, but I do know that it is a legitimate way to make money online. Here’s a video about dropshipping and what it is.
While there are some benefits to dropshipping (you don’t need to hold inventory and you can make a good amount of money working for yourself on your own schedule), there are some downsides as well (you have to deal with customer service, you need to invest in some product and you have to deal with issues that arise such as when a product goes out of stock).
Those are just some things to consider before deciding on dropshipping as a career choice. Do some research and make sure it makes sense for your life before getting into it.
Is Fast Profits a Scam or Legit?
I honestly can’t say whether or not Fast Profits is a scam. Sometimes I purchase the product to give it a closer look, however I chose not to do it this time. Based on the sales video, this is not something I can recommend. Why? There are just way too many red flags.
- Fake name for the product owner. (This isn’t necessarily bad, however, if this is a good product, you would think the owner would be proud of it?)
- Fake testimonials. These people aren’t making money with this system. They’re paid actors.
- Saying you can make $1700 a day.
- Implying that you only have to work 1 hour per day to make millions.
- Implying that you can be just like Michael’s “Dad” and make over $1,000 your first day.
Even if this is the best product in the world, your expectations of making money super fast are not going to be met. Anything you start to do will take time and patience as you have to learn how to do everything AND learn to be good at it.
Even their disclaimer points this out:
By the way, it looks like Fast Profits is a rehashed product – The Ecom Formula. You can see they used the same disclaimer. This is another red flag. This could mean that the product violated some rules and was removed from ClickBank, or that it was selling poorly or getting too many returns so they just brought it back out under a different name.
If it is the Ecom Formula rehashed, then from my research, it looks like what you’ll get is a PDF and a few training videos. They could have updated this and made it better, but this is approximately what you can expect to get from purchasing this product.
I’m not against PDFs or training videos, but it doesn’t sound like enough training to ensure that you’ll make $1700 per day. Plus, what about support? What if you get stuck somewhere along the way? Again, maybe this is a great product, however all signs point to “NOPE.”
How About an Affiliate Marketing Website?
As I mentioned up above, I am an affiliate marketer. This website is an affiliate marketing website. I help people find answers to their questions and solutions to their problems.
For instance, you probably landed here because you were looking for information about Fast Profits. (How do I know this? Through keywords! This is something you learn all about as an affiliate marketer.) You probably wanted to do some research before buying it to see if it’s any good. Good for you! That’s smart since there’s so much crap out there.
Now, your problem seems to be that you want to find a way to make money online. I’m going to offer you a solution. And if you like my solution and decide to join up with me, then I will make a small commission. See how easy that is? This is affiliate marketing in a nutshell!
You can do this with any topic that you like. You can help people with skiing equipment, dog toys, car parts, gardening tools, and anything else you can think of. It’s up to you based on your likes and preferences!
Here are some of my favorite affiliate marketing benefits:
- No limit to how much income you can make. (This is only limited by the time and effort you put into it.)
- Work when and where you want
- No inventory to worry about since you’re promoting other company’s products
- No customer service to worry about
- Residual income. Write a post once and it can keep bringing in money months or years later
- Flexible schedule. YOU create it!
- You get to be creative
I have done many things to make money from home, but affiliate marketing is by far my favorite. Now, let me tell you how I learned everything I know about affiliate marketing – and how you can, too!
Get the Right Affiliate Marketing Training
If you’d like to learn about affiliate marketing, then I suggest that you start off the right way – right away – with proper training! I went down the same path as you’re going down now. I looked up different make money from home products and even purchased some. There were 1 or 2 that were pretty good, and the others were downright scams!
The products that were pretty good taught me the basics of affiliate marketing, but it was never enough to push me forward. Then, I cam upon a training website called Wealthy Affiliate, and the rest is history!
Wealthy Affiliate has taught me how to do everything. They take you step-by-step through the whole process of creating a website. You’ll learn how to buy a domain. (if you’d like. Or you can start with a completely free site.) You’ll learn about hosting and WordPress and setting up your website properly so that it can be found in the search engines.
You’ll learn about keywords, affiliate programs, how to add ads to your site and other monetization tactics. Wealthy Affiliate has everything you need from start to finish – training, web hosting, domain purchases, keyword tool, live chat, live weekly trainings, 24/7 support and a community of like-minded people who will support you the entire step of your journey.
You can even join as a Free Starter Membership (no credit card required) and check it out at no cost to you. Just sign up and then add a profile picture and short description so we can get to know you better. Then take a look around and see if affiliate marketing is the perfect work-from-home solution for you! (No pressure. If you like it, great! If not, that’s OK too.)

Do you have any questions or comments about Fast Profits? Have you tried dropshipping? What do you like and dislike about it? Leave them for me down below!
I will admit, I fast forwarded to the bottom of the post to see if this was a scam or not. I mean let’s face it, who would not want to make $1700 a day? Heck, I’d settle for $1700 a week 🙂 Anyway, I am always looking for ways to add to my online income. Looks like this is one that I will steer clear of for sure! I like the Wealthy Affiliate idea better and that does seem like a more straight forward way to start earning an income online. I will definitely look into this!
Even $1700 a month would be a nice boost to anyone’s income! And of course that can happen, but not right away. It takes some time and work. But that’s what I love about affiliate marketing. You CAN make that kind of income and more – as long as you learn the right way to do things. That’s where Wealthy Affiliate comes in!
I’m with you on your decision not to purchase this product. My favorite claim from this “Fast Profits” product is, “In just 8 clicks of a mouse you could also be earning $1700 per day”. There’s no way a legitimate opportunity allows you to make that kind of money from the starting line with so little work.
I chose to start my own website and guess what? It took way more than 8 clicks of a mouse to get it set up, this isn’t even counting actually creating my site content!
I feel terrible for people who waste their precious time with products like this when they could be using their time creating something that they don’t have to worry about disappearing after a couple of years.
I always laugh when I see “in just 8 clicks of a mouse” or “17 clicks and 4 minutes”. That cracks me up. Did someone actually count the amount of clicks? If I did purchase the product, I’d for sure be counting how many clicks I made! lol
Starting your own website is an awesome way to create an income online. It does take a bit more than 8 clicks though. Wouldn’t be nice if it were just 8? I’d even take 10 clicks! It does take hard work and determination, but it’s so worth it because it’s so much darn fun!
Wow, looks like they offer some ridiculous magic number which isn’t really realistic.
Using an actor from Fiverr. What a smart move! Not like anyone can put one and one together.
For $37 I’m sure a lot of people give it a try. Then, they are let down and just count their losses and move on. It’s something I have seen time and time again over the years.
Dropshipping can be profitable. It would probably be worth it to sign up with SaleHoo and you would get more value for your money than this bunk system.
I’m sure the person who created this product makes $1700 a day sometimes. But probably by selling this product and not from the techniques of the product itself. I’m not against that, since that is affiliate marketing, and that’s what I do. But it would be good if they were upfront about it.
I’d love to explore dropshipping a little more. I’ll have to check out SaleHoo and see what it’s all about.
$1700 a day should be the first clue that this is a real bad opportunity.
The problem is that for newbies and newbies that are really in need of money this looks like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
We need many more reviews like this and we need potential customers to see the reviews before they make impulse decisions and get themselves into a bigger predicament.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. If it helps even one person stay away then you have done an incredible job.
Dale
Thanks, Dale! That is my job. I just want people to know the full story before they make a purchase. I think if these products weren’t sooooo over the top, I wouldn’t be as harsh. But I also know that saying “Buy this product, work hard and you might start making money in a few months” probably won’t sell as well! The thing is, that’s the correct expectation to set.
This is another one of those cases of “if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is!” I’ve fell for a few scams before and this one reminds me of it. They always promise quick and easy money, you never have to work more than an hour per day, and they never fully explain what is it exactly you’ll be doing to make this money.
Great review, I like how you show people the truth about low quality products like this. The affiliate marketing that you currently do is a much better option, it’s something I’m currently using myself to earn passive income online. But I’m not making anywhere near $1700 a day, is that even possible?
Yes, the ol’ “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” is back again. Such wise, wise words. Especially in the make money online world.
I truly believe you can make $1000 a day or more – with time, patience, persistence and perseverance! Here is a success story of someone who had a $1500 day. He’s a Wealthy Affiliate member, so I know he used the tools and training that we all have access to to have this kind of success.
indeed. Love the fake people and testimonials. I really do if i’m Looking for a laugh.
Let’s face it, there are a lot of people who can’t simply look beyond their nose and jump right in to this. That’s the reason we will always find places to lose your money and mind like this.
I’ll go out on a limb and say definetaly a scam. No two ways about it. Money doesn’t grow on trees and if it did like this says, we’d all be rich.
I think the fake testimonials are hilarious! But I’ve been looking at these videos for a while now and I’m so used to seeing the same people over and over again. If you’re new to seeing these things, you probably wouldn’t give it a second thought. I’m sure they seem real to someone who’s new.
So, while I think they’re funny personally, it also annoys me because I don’t want others to think they’re actually real. I hope people are doing their homework before they give away their hard-earned money.
Great post and good info.
Seems like another crap thing that you prevent us to be a part of.
Getting rich overnight is the biggest crap you can imagine, there is nothing that can make you rich like that.
Wealthy Affiliate is the best platform for me, I make good money, and it is far from a scam.
Thanks for doing this review and preventing us for joining something bad!
I’m glad you are loving Wealthy Affiliate. I’m not saying they’re the only good program out there, but I haven’t found a better way to learn how to make money online yet. These other systems with their big promises only deliver a tiny portion of what Wealthy Affiliate delivers. How can you make $1700 a day when you don’t have all the tools and info that you need?
Hello Christina. Thanks for sharing your Fast Profits review. When I saw the headline of this review, I knew it was another trap for newbies and even some experience buddies. How the hell will I make $1700 per day? I know there is a great deal of money that can be made from e commerce but not with this training. This is scam. Keep off guys.
Fake people with fake promises.
I can’t say for sure that it’s a scam, but it’s scammy the way they draw you in with promises of $1700 a day. I mean, really? Of course that can happen down the line, but probably not with just this training. It’s going to take hard work and persistence and in-depth training!
Thanks for the honest review of Fast Profits! I can’t tell you how many times I have fallen for one of these schemes and none of them have worked. Surprisingly, I hardly ever see reviews like yours. Do honest reviews get deleted?
I also appreciate you sharing your experiences with other “get rich quick” products and ways you have tried to make money online.
As another Wealthy Affiliate member, I see you have found a great and legitimate way to make money online. What I like best about Wealthy Affiliate is that they are honest about the work and time that it will take to start to make money.
I don’t know if honest reviews get deleted. I think they’re out there somewhere. Sometimes you will see reviews from people selling the product and they will be positive. But you can tell that the people haven’t used the product and can’t really say if it works because they just copy what the sales video states.
If someone out there has used Fast Profits, and it’s worked for you, I would love to hear all about it! I will adjust my review.
Anyway, I’m glad you’ve found your way to Wealthy Affiliate. They make no outrageous claims about making money quickly with no work. They provide the tools and training and it’s up to you to use them to make yourself successful.
Hi Christina,
Thanks for this honest review on fast Profit. The moment I saw the name Fast Profit, I knew it is one of those scams out there. I mean where in the real world would you make such a fast profit online, even to the extent of making up to $1700 in just a day. I have never experience this fast earnings before and neither will any newbie be able to achieve this in just a day.
In fact, there NOTHING like any real get rich-quick-scheme out there that really works. If so, we all would have bought such an offer and become rich online. Indeed I agree with you that anyone who really wants to build a genuine and successful business online should look at Affiliate Marketing since its one of the best ways of creating a lucrative income for yourself.
You did well for reviewing this product, as you will be saving a lot of people out there from wasting their $37 into this scammy offer. Thanks for sharing.
Stephen.
Hi Stephen, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I think the name “Fast Profits” is already a red flag. Because of exactly what you said. Making profits fast is not an easy thing to do – especially if you’re new to the whole working from home thing.
I love affiliate marketing. I think it has the most benefits with the least amount of downsides. I know it’s not for everyone, but it’s a great way to make money from home – IF you have the time, patience and perseverance to work on it consistently. It’s not a fast way to make money, but it’s a great way once you get it rolling!
Thanks a lot for your honest review about Fast Profits! Kudos for talking about the legitimate work-at-home online job which anyone can do in the comfort of his home even in slippers! This is really awesome.
Based on your conclusion that you wouldn’t recommend Fast Profits to anyone because of too many red flags, fake testimonials and all of that, I too wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Thanks for making it known that one can ignore the regular job for a legitimate online job which is not a get rich quick scheme. Kudos!

I’m wearing my slippers right now! It’s cold here in Pennsylvania. Of course in the summer I switch to flip-flops. I love working in flip-flops! lol
Yes, there are definitely too many red flags with Fast Profits. Even the name itself is a red flag! Making fast profits is not easy to do when you’re first getting started.
