Simple Freedom Club Review

Intro.

Have you recently become aware about a new program claiming you can make loads of money, called Simple Freedom Club? You may have received an email like I did, and are just as skeptical as I was. If so, you may want to read this Simple Freedom Club review, because I’ve researched what the program is about, and have documented it here.

Not all programs and products are created equal, and if you are to join any of these programs to make money online, I’d suggest you do your research, just like you’re doing now. I applaud you for this.

I have no affiliation with Simple Freedom Club, so this review is totally impartial. The program does involve recruiting others, and I will not be doing that as I have no investment in this program.

So with that out of the way, here’s what you need to know.

What is Simple Freedom Club

Franco Gonzalez is the face behind Simple Freedom Club, and as he explains, this program is an affiliate marketing opportunity, albeit with a difference.

Now firstly, I want to say that visions of images like this are a real turn off for me. This is from the internal video when I created an account.

They make it look like a simple push button system, but this is far from the reality. There’s also many large claims of wealth with suggestions that Simple Freedom Club is so simple.

I’ll explain how Simple Freedom Club works shortly, but in brief, it’s pretty much a pyramid scheme. Basically you’ll be recruiting other members into a circulating money club with no tangible products to show for your investment.

Is there training and a structure to this program? Yep, sure there is. This is what I do like about Simple Freedom Club, as every online money making venture should start with a plan. I may not necessarily think it’s a great plan, but there is a structure which I’ll describe soon.

So let’s take a look at how Simple Freedom Club works.

How Does Simple Freedom Club Work

When you first sign up to Simple Freedom Club, the following dashboard will be presented to you with various offers, and a walk-through video of the platform.

You’ll notice there’s a menu on the left hand site, and with the free trial version, only the Freedom Vault will be available to you. You will need to upgrade to have access to the other levels of membership. The membership levels are:

• Freedom Vault – Free Trial then $25 + $10 administration fee
• Academy – $200 + $50 administration fee
• Platinum – $400 + $100 administration fee
• Elite – $800 + $200 administration fee

The flagship product that you will be encouraged to sell to prospective leads will be Simple Freedom Club itself. The larger membership you can sell to them, the more commission you can make for yourself.

There is a caveat though, which is this. If you get to sign up a member to the Platinum membership, you will need to be a Platinum member yourself. If you are not, the commissions will be passed to the person that is your sponsor. In other words, the person that recruited YOU through THEIR affiliate link.

So depending on which membership your recruits sign up to, your commissions are limited based on the membership level you are currently on. This is why you are highly encouraged to join at the Elite level and pay the $1000 fee (includes admin fee).

So, how does the commission structure work?

Commission Structure

Commission structures are often difficult to explain, but the Simple Freedom Club commission structure doesn’t seem too detailed. When you recruit somebody to the program, it works on what’s called a reverse 1 up model.

It pretty much means that you will receive commissions on the first sale you make, and any second sale that has been made goes to the sponsor. This is the same down the recruiting line.

To give an example, let’s say your sponsor signs you up, and you recruit two others. The commission from the first person you sign up will be yours. However, the commission from the second person you sign up will go to your sponsor. This goes for those that you recruit. You will receive the second commission from those in your downline.

This is a form of pyramid scheme if you ask me, and I’m not a big fan of pyramid schemes. In fact they are illegal in many states of the US, and several places globally.

The Freedom Vault

The Freedom Vault seems to be a place to organize other affiliate offers that are chosen by Simple Freedom Club. This is different from the main part of the program which focuses on recruiting people into the main membership pyramid.

These affiliate offers are listed with detailed descriptions of the program. The advice from the training is basically to join these affiliate programs and advise people within them to buy a Simple Freedom Club membership.

The other benefit of joining these programs is to use the affiliate links in the programs and make extra commissions. There’s two things here though.

1. Why wouldn’t you just join these affiliate programs yourself separately
2. The button you’ll click on to head over to these programs are affiliate links for Simple Freedom Club.

So, as long as you’re aware that Social Freedom Club will be making money from these affiliate programs they recommend, that’s fine.

Although, I do have an issue with some of the programs they recommend joining. The list suggests joining Push Button Profits, but this doesn’t have a great reputation. In fact the site is simply a sales funnel for a different site called Traffic Authority.

Another poor program that is promoted through Simple Freedom Club is called Club Cash Fund. This is another cash gifting MLM Company with signs of a pyramid scheme.

They do list one good platform though, which is called Wealthy Affiliate. The video accompanying WA talks about how good the platform is, and that you should join it. But they also suggest Wealthy Affiliate is too broad and beginners will get lost in the training. Well, I can tell you from experience that Wealthy Affiliate has taught me how to become a successful affiliate marketer, and that it does work extremely well. I’m even still a member there.

So the ‘Freedom Vault’ is basically a list of programs with affiliate links that you’ll be offered to join.

Payment Options

Having looked at the various ways to upgrade to a higher membership level, I was presented with 3 different payment options. None of these were what I was expecting.

• Facebook Messenger
• Venmo
• Cash App

There’s also a section which states ‘Please send $800 to the user using their “other” payment methods shown below’. However, there were no other payment methods available.

So, no PayPal, no credit card or other more common forms of payment method. I’m not sure why these other payment methods are not available, but just thought it was worth mentioning.

Pros:

Face To The Product

Franco Gonzalez is the face of Simple Freedom Club, and runs the video training. I do like that a face is put to the product, even though I don’t believe the product to be the best.

Decent Affiliate Training

You will find some decent affiliate marketing tips and advice in this program. Although you really only need to search YouTube to find Franco’s videos, just search ‘Gonzalez Franco’ and you’ll find loads of tutorials of Franco’s training. Just be aware though, that these are a funnel to direct you to Simple Freedom Club or Simple Freedom Academy.

Cons:

High Risk Strategy

In my opinion, this is a high risk strategy, especially for newbies. Remember, not only will you be learning some basic affiliate marketing techniques, but you’ll also be paying a high membership fee and paid traffic options concurrently.

Non Preferred payment Options

I found it interesting that most people’s preferred payment options were not included. This is a bit of a red flag for me, as most legitimate programs and products would provide PayPal or bank transfer.

Website Traffic Training Based on Paid Options

Having got a handle on Franco’s training videos, he generally advises people to sign up to Traffic Academy. This is another paid program where you will be buying leads to send emails to, and it’s not cheap.

Over-hyped Earning Potential

Like many gurus out there, you’ll have to sit through images of people with total freedom. These are there to lure you in by suggesting that your life will be similar to this after joining Simple Freedom Club. The reality is that most people will fail at pyramid or MLM schemes, so you won’t be swanning around in luxury.

Poor Internal Affiliate Offers

Most of the internal affiliate programs (except for Wealthy Affiliate) are poor quality programs, many which have been labelled scams themselves. So as a Simple Freedom Club member, you’d be encouraged to send your recruits to these programs. This is not my idea of helping people. Affiliate marketing should be about sending people to genuine offers that can aid them in their pursuits.

Is Simple Freedom Club a Scam

In my opinion, no, I don’t believe Simple Freedom Club is a scam. That doesn’t mean I’d recommend this program. This is a risky strategy and pyramid schemes don’t always work out as you hope they will.

There’s been several similar systems taken to the FTC and have been shut down. Those involved have lost their money, and I’d hate to see you in the same situation.

If you want to learn affiliate marketing, do it the right way and join Wealthy Affiliate from the beginning.
