Evergreen Empire, Overview
Make money without a website, the money is in the list. This is all part of the pitch you will get in the short video. The only way you can get to the video is adding your email to their list with a single opt in, or watch directly on youtube.com. The idea is to build an email list and your own product to sell. Learn the secrets the internet gurus are not telling you. Does all of this sound too good to be true? So is Evergreen Empire a scam or legit?
The Good and the Bad
Good
The best thing about the product is there is a $1.00, 7 day trail. It would be better if it were a 7 day free trail, but it is better than forking over $97.00 to see if the product is right for you. If it is not right for you make sure you immediately cancel or you will be charged $97 a month for 12 months. Yes I said $97.00 a month for 12 months. This is a membership program.
Bad
The idea that you can make your riches on the internet and build a sustainable business online without a website is very appealing. This is the hook in the sales funnel, that and the $1.00 for the first 7 days. I think many people will give it a try, after all it is just $1.00, but then it is $97 per month after that.
The core of the business plan is to utilize Pay Per Click (PPC) ads to generate traffic, he even states in his short video traffic is never a problem. He states you will need an autoresponder and recommends “Get Response” of course if you sign up for it through his link, he will get a commission no that as well. There are two other things he states you need and recommends companies to handle this.
The first one is a landing page generator, He suggests ClickFunnels and you will get a free two week trail. Of course once the trial is over you will have to pay for the service. The rate they start you at is $97 per month. They do have an option for $37 per month. So even if you use the less expensive one that is an additional $37 per month. 
The other thing he states you need is a click tracker and ad rotator. There are many options out there that are free and in my opinion would work just fine. But of course he suggests ClickMagick, that gives you a free 2 week trial and then you have three levels to choose from $12 per month, $33 per month or $66 per month.
Even if you take the lowest amount listed on each plan you still end up with $97 for the program itself; plus $37 per month for the ClickFunnels; plus $12 per month for ClickMagick; plus $13.50 for GetResponse. The monthly outlay is a minimum of $159 per month! Oh and that is not including your PPC campaign costs.
Customer Support
I attempted to send an email to the help desk and it came back as a 505 error. That does not mean if you have a full membership that you will not be able to contact them, it is a restriction error through a web-server.
Who is Evergreen Empire For?
The maker claims it is for anyone that wants to make more money online. I myself would have a hard time recommending this product to anyone.
Evergreen Empire Price
I went over a lot of the pricing that is or is not included. The program gives you a 7 day trail for $1 then goes up to $97 per month after the trial period is over. There are other costs and this program will cost you at least $159 per month not including your PPC costs. So be prepared to spend well over $200 a month.
My Final Opinion of Evergreen Empire
I believe this product is way overcharging. It is a membership site with a monthly membership rate of $97 per month. There are so many products out there that would be better for the everyday person and a person just trying to get started that offer free trials and much less costly monthly fees. This is not to mention the additional fees you will pay for other services you will need to utilize to make the system work. If you still want to give it a try, you can do so here for $1 for 7 days.
2/10 Scam
As I said there are so many more legitimate products out there that can show you how to build a legitimate online business. Depending on your interests you can look at Salehoo, for your drop-shipping needs. Or if you want to try your hat at affiliate marketing I would suggest Affilorama, Clickbank University, or my top recommendation.
So good to have this information Marc, thanks for your work. With so many scams and legitimate business opportunities out there, it’s hard to know which one to go with. That’s why a site like yours is so necessary.
It’s great that you explain the hidden additional costs too, as a person wouldn’t be aware of them until they signed up.
Very well researched. You obviously know your stuff Marc and have saved me from having to research these guys myself. Big help! Jamie.
Jamie,
Thank you for your comment. You are correct making money online is not hard, but there are so many scams out there. I too have been a victim of them as well. That is why I created this website. To show people real ways to make money online while avoiding those scams.
Thank you again.
Marc
This is the first I have heard of Evergreen Empire and now, thanks to this article, if I do come across it I will know better! That is quite a hefty amount of cash to be shelling out which is okay if you have it but……I don’t have it! So I will stay clear. Thank you!
Patty,
The hidden costs will just kill you with this one. While the program might be okay, the monthly costs are killer. Especially if you are just starting out. Who wants to pay that kind of cash for a program each month. The average person does not make a single cent for 3 months. Then it takes additional time to start making consistent money online. This one is just not for me.
Thank you for the comment.
Marc
Thanks for the tip. Lots of good information here. I also like the way you didn’t try to shove products and brand names down the reader’s throats like other posts that rate websites/services sometimes do. You gave a clear overview of what you thought of a particular service then kindly mentioned your first choice at the end of the post. Humble and helpful, I will check out wealthy affiliate right now!
Jesse,
Thank you for the comment and compliment. The bottom line is I want to be helpful to people. I am happy you found the information helpful. Let me know if I can help you in any other way.
Regards,
Marc
