No it is not a scam, end of review. But seriously, Elite Marketing Pro has a lot to offer and I tried some of their programs. But let me say a few things:
- Firstly, the whole program is awesome.
- I did buy their Attraction Marketing Formula eBook and loved it.
- I even promote some of their programs on my site.
- Yet, despite these major pros, I still think a better alternative that is like Elite Marketing Pro exists and I’ll be revealing it in a moment.
Quick report on Elite Marketing Pro:
Price: There are several components of EMP, each with it’s own price set:
- EMP Pro: $297 a year.
- 10 Minute Traffic Machine: $997. You can also pay 3 times via $427 each month.
- Ultimate List Building System: $147.
- $30 million video sales letter workshop: $47.
- 90 minute profit machine: $47.
- The Copywriter’s guild: $197.
- Ultimate email profit machine: $47.
- Attraction marketing formula: $47, but if you join their membership, they discount it to $27. This is what I purchased.
- Social media recruiter: $97.
- LinkedIn Recruiting playbook: $197.
Depending on what business needs you have, one or more of the above packages will suffice that goal. But I’ll talk about all of that in a moment. The first package for $297 a year contains 47 different courses of training.
Overall Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
I purchased one of the packages within EMP and really enjoyed reading it a lot. This reflects the kind of high quality stuff that’s insider the greater EMP network. I’ll go over each package and give you details on whether or not to join this place.
Recommended? Yes this is a good network to join, but for people who are tighter on money or just starting out, I’d recommend this similar, but honestly better network instead:
What is Elite Marketing Pro (EMP)?
Primarily this is a system that helps you succeed with network marketing, particularly on the MLM side. You can use the training beyond just succeeding at that though and in things like affiliate marketing, growing your own personal business or even becoming an affiliate for the EMP network itself as it offers a pretty good affiliate opportunity.
Overall, the main way EMP frames success in online business is through collecting leads, particularly hot ones which will be the ones buying from you. Their training, within their packages talks about various ways to collect these leads, monetize off them, create capture pages for your websites, collect traffic to those websites and so on and so forth, aka list building.
The main point of EMP is that it is made by successful business people who know a lot about lead generation and the packages that were created within the EMP network reflect how you can get those results too in your business.
Pros:
-EMP is a legitimate business. I honestly don’t think there’s any reason to think of it as a scam.
-The training is very high quality, at least from the info I got out of one of the training packages I purchased (The Attraction Marketing handbook). I picked up a lot of good new things I will happily be putting into my existing lead generation business.
-Support is pretty good and they even have a support phone number.
-An insider community is available to members.
-Training is organized. Once you buy a package, you will be able to access it from your personal EMP account and move through it like an educational program.
-Inside the EMP network is the ability to basically set up your own website, lead capture pages and other necessities to compile an email list without having to go outside the EMP realm and get those things separately, but there is a cost to this. I have a personal method for building email lists too that works.
-If you don’t have a business, you can relay/send people into the EMP network as an affiliate and build your business that way. It’s a legitimate option.
Cons:
-I’m really NOT a fan of the fact that there’s 10 different packages to purchase, each with a different price. Don’t get me wrong, they are optional, some are cheap, others are very expensive but if they had all of these goodies organized into one system that you could pay monthly for, I’d gladly become a member. Right now, I don’t know which of the packages I need and I doubt beginners will too. And that…
-Leads (no pun intended) to the point about how I don’t really think this training is geared towards beginners. While it is very organized, the package I purchased had terminology and lingo that many newbies would hard to understand.
-Hypothetically speaking, should you decide to buy ALL of the packages within the network, you’re looking at a total expenditure of over $2,000 (and one of the packages is a yearly buy at $297).
While based on what I’ve seen, the training is awesome and it certainly justifies such costs, again, I really wish EMP would have consolidated all their training into a main membership. Such a thing would easily justify $99 or $199 a month and honestly, I’d pay that amount (were it not for my other place that’s better):
Final Rating: Elite Marketing Pro.
Green Flag
6 out of 10 stars. This is a great training platform on building an online business through lead generation. One of the main things I learned was about the psychology of the buyer and how to use it to get more sales. But on the back end though, the diversity in training packages was confusing for me and their individual prices were something I would not go for unless they were all packaged together into one program…
My final thoughts:
While the great news about this place is that it’s legit, and that I am happy I found it as I can now add this to my short list of good, recommended places that teach good things about online marketing, it still doesn’t compare as well to my top choice, Wealthy Affiliate.
It’s a network from which I’ve learned pretty much the same things I saw in EMP, and it actually led me to success in the internet world.
Allow me to explain why WA is better…
Wealthy Affiliate has the same kind of and honestly more training that EMP has, but they consolidate all of into one membership for $49 a month, which I said I wanted to see with EMP.
They do by the way also have a free membership, but the point is, everything is accessible for $49, so the savings one would get from being a WA member vs a EMP one are substantial, and at the same time, they’d maintain having the same, high level education on succeeding in online business.
While EMP focuses mainly on lead generation as a source of making money, WA focuses on that AND affiliate marketing as well as many of the same things you learn inside EMP (traffic generation, making online sales, becoming an authority to your visitors, subscribers, ect…).
But I’d say WA offers more as it has way more training modules (EMP has 47, WA has 10,000’s!), much faster support via a live chat and 100’s of webinars to add to all of this existing value, and again, it’s all inside 1 membership, not divided up into numerous packages, all priced differently, that add up to big costs.
Let me say that WA helped me become a full time internet marketer, and when I entered EMP and started reading their material, a lot of the same info on how to succeed was shown to me, which is great because it shows that there’s high level training on both places.
But I’m going to say that if you wish to get success for less monetary risk, Wealthy Affiliate is going to be a better, cheaper choice on all fronts and if you wish to go with EMP, that’s totally fine too as it’s also high quality training, but my preference will be WA.
Thank you for great review. I am wondering, is WA is suitable for an MLM Business?
Hi David, yes, you can apply Wealthy Affiliate’s training to promote an MLM. I am personally not involved in any MLM program, but the fact of the matter is that Wealthy Affiliate teaches you to make sales online and the techniques can be applied in MLM as well as other things such as selling your own services or affiliate offers outside the MLM realm.
Was there any specific topic that you wished Elite Marketing Pro covered in their training that was covered in your other recommended program? It seems like buying all the training modules at once is a very pricey gig. If I wanted to purchase them, is it best to do it over time?
I would say a very basic tutorial on getting started with SEO, websites, niches and that sort of stuff. Now I have an assumption that Elite Marketing Pro has this but it’s with their main membership which is very costly. I believe that main membership offers 40+ lessons on this stuff, but I would still recommend Wealthy Affiliate as it’s cheaper and shows the necessary things to build a full time online business.
I prefer more inexpensive training packages. I have spent lots of money on expensive packages for training and just was almost always disappointed. I have joined wealthy affiliate and stuck with them for almost a year. They truly offer some comprehensive internet marketing training.
One disadvantage to having thousands of different training videos is that it can be confusing about where to start. In Wealthy Affiliate it is always recommended to start with their step-by-step course, so that is helpful.
Yes, having too many resources and no guide on which one to start or how to navigate can be a problem Melinda, but in WA, like you said there is a sequence of training tutorials to go through.
Sounds very interesting i been looking for an affordable training program to start my online business. I checked a number of programs like AWOL academy and they charged $100 per month for only one of there packages. 50 bucks sounds very reasonable I will look more into this for sure thank you!
Hi Silvano, I know of AWOL Academy and have reviewed it. My honest opinion is that Wealthy Affiliate is better than these 2 places by far. I’m not saying the other two programs are bad, but in terms of training, support and value per cost, Wealthy Affiliate is unmatched.
Hey Vitaliy, once again a super cool and interesting review of Elite Marketing Pro. I really enjoyed reading it. In my opinion, I don’t think that it is a bad program, but I really don’t like it when people try to upsell me so hard.
I mean $997 is a bit hard. I think I’d rather stay with Wealthy Affiliate. I don’t miss anything here. My websites are growing and making money. I still haven’t learned everything there, even though I’m been a member for over a year now. Because there are just so many pieces of training and they always add new things. I can only recommend it to everybody 🙂
Hi Aaron, I agree with you man. And on the topic of Wealthy Affiliate, people wondering about if there’s “too much training” should not worry. There is a main program within that site and then there’s other optional training programs which talk about other branches of the marketing business.
Either way, whatever new training comes up in WA or whatever evolution it goes through, the final price is still the same there, meaning existing members pay nothing extra to access the new stuff, and that is a HUGE money saver.
Thanks for this great review about elite marketing pro. It’s good to see that there are other programs besides Wealthy Affiliate out there that give high quality training.
The only downside like you said is each training is sold separately. I would be very interested if what you learned through elite marketing increased your leads and sales after you implement what they taught you.
Yeah I’m actually doing a test of this on one of my sites. I was getting about 10-20 leads a day, but didn’t convert it. Hence, why I was initially interested in buying one of Elite Marketing Pro’s tutorials on email marketing. I’ll let you know.
