I received a combination of an email and a new video from the Shoemoney System today.
Video 5 + Email – Red Flag?
This video had to have been made recently, because it has stats regarding the sales of the Shoemoney System. It essentially teaches you how to create a new account at an affiliate site, find the Shoemoney System affiliate program, and sign up for it.
The accompanying email said our tasks for this video are to do the above, and then spread reviews around the web, giving us various formats that we can use to do this. I get that this is part of how the whole “making money online” thing is done, but to me this seems too soon for us. Not that it’s above our diffifulty level, just because we have nothing really to talk about.
It’s bad enough that before the Shoemoney System launched, there were already a bunch of fake “reviews” around the web. One that I found even claimed to have made almost $300 dollars on his third day. He must be really good, because on the third day I was sitting around waiting for video 3.
So that’s bad enough, but then to ask us members/students to review something before we’ve even gotten into the meat of the course is ludicrous. What shall I review? How effortlessly I was able to set up a Gmail account thanks to the 10 minute video on it?
My Shoemoney System Review
I can’t knock the quality of the videos and instruction; they really are quite good and in-depth. Just because I haven’t been introduced to anything new to me doesn’t mean it hasn’t been helpful to a lot of people.
So here’s my review; quality step-by-step instruction, if a bit slow paced.
I’m put off and annoyed with this new development so this post is pretty negative. I wanted this blog to be about my (hopefully) positive experience making money using the methods in the course. But right now it seems like we were sold the Shoemoney System… to sell the Shoemoney System…
I’m trying to keep my cynicism in check here. I realize we have 50 more weeks of instruction, but this should have been presented a month or two into the course.
Is The Shoemoney System Reopening?
The Shoemoney System is a hot product right now, and Shoemoney obviously wants his new members to be able to take advantage of that. But why so soon? Is the Shoemoney System reopening its doors soon?
Do you think this is a red flag? Is this typical of the making money online circle?

I’m a student of the Shoemoney System as well and I’m just like you – finding it extremely slow going. What it’s covered so far is very, very basic stuff and I doubt anyone has had any real benefit out of it.
Most people already know how to open an account somewhere and it would have been better to just list the ones we need for the system later. (If there is a system.) Seeing the next few videos to come looks like another slow week or two. Sponsored Tweets again isn’t going to set the World on fire for many.
Another week or two and hopefully I’ll learn how to finally make some money and justify staying in the program but right now, it looks like I may be a Shoemoney drop-out.
Hi Anthony, thanks for commenting.
I totally agree, man; some slow going so far. I didn’t even bother posting about the latest video – “Finding Your Audience” – and the whole “Sponsored Tweets” thing seems a little premature as some of us don’t have a following and may not even have a Twitter account. I guess there’s the advertiser side of it that could be useful, but we have nothing to advertise yet!
Oh, and apparently there was another webinar yesterday…? Did you get an email about that? Because I didn’t. That’s some shoddy service if you ask me.
I’m going to hold out until day 55 or so to bail on this, but if it looks like Shoemoney is just going to string us along for 12 months while milking us of our subscription fee, I’m out. I’ll make a go of it on my own.
