Online courses are highly promising. They promise quick riches and better success rate. It is warned to tread carefully as lately affiliate marketing business Legendary Marketer has faced severe criticism for its misleading advertising tactics that claims a $7 online course can quickly turn into a $2,500 investment.

Many were attracted towards the disguised advertisement and became affiliate marketers through an affordable 15-day online business builder challenge. Their excitement soon turned into disappointment as they realized the true cost was far beyond the initial claimed $7.

Some of the marketers reported that they were pressured to purchase an additional $2,500 Business Blueprint course within days of enrollment. Some were even told to sell their cars to afford the course that was worth the investment. Those who declined were halted from continuing the course.

Complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau revealed the course primarily focused on encouraging participants to sell the same expensive course to others. It was not like providing valuable insights into affiliate marketing.

One customer expressed regret over promoting the $7 course after realizing that the focus was mainly to upsell the costly Business Blueprint to unsuspecting individuals.

Stay-at-home mom Chelsea Ouimet initially believed she had found a legitimate side hustle opportunity, but her experience highlights the dangers of relying on such instant income claims and false promises.

The case of Legendary Marketer serves as a warning to those individuals who look for becoming rich quickly and get easily swayed by flashy ads as well as inflated promises. It is important here to note that genuine success takes time, effort and realistic expectations as well. It cannot be achieved overnight with empty promises.
