Nobody needs to use Robin Elliott’s bad Dollarmakers publicity to promote themselves, even me. I don’t want it to look like I am badmouthing Robin Elliott just to make myself look good.
Besides, most testimonials are anonymous anyway – so why can’t negative testimonials be anonymous?
I am sure that the posters here do not mean to simply complain and do no work. In fact, we have done a lot of “work” spinning our wheels going nowhere. We even started a Dollarmakers “Chapter” in our city and tried very hard to put Robin Elliott’s JV “concepts” to work. But they were just that – ‘concepts’. None of the REAL businesses we approached made any money, let alone us make any money.
Robin Elliott’s Dollarmakers is a scam for many many reasons. Yes you expect, pay, and obtain course material. But if I hired a doctor and got medical advice, does it matter that he is a quack without a license? I would say so, YES. The information you get is bad, because Robin himself doesn’t use it or have any experience using it either.
Truthfully… the whole “JV” teaching is just a cover for the one investment model he is pushing, and more recently, a cover for you to get into one of his MLM businesses.
Hypocrisy is a scamming tool when you are teaching a course, make no mistake about it. When you purport to make yourself out to be an expert, and you are in fact NOT an expert, it is a scam. When you teach people one thing, and do the opposite yourself: you are a scammer. The quack doctor without a license is scamming you. The “Prophit of profit” who makes “profit” from the course he sells you and NOT the use of said information is also a scam.
Trying to get Dollarmakers Chapter members to PAY HIM A FEE for an independent club, or demand that they are part of HIS dollarmekrs club to be a Chapter member, is just outrageous.
Stating that Robin Elliott’s Dollarmakers club is the “cream of the crop”, as he does, when in fact it is “cream of crap” with high attrition rates is also bad. Lying is scamming you. There are very few truly successful people in the club, and they are not successful from Joint Ventures. Sales maybe, but not JVs.
At the end of the day, a prospective Dollarmakers “scamee” needs to know the real truth. Robin Elliott does take your money, yes, and provide a course. It is entertaining, as he does it many many times per year. After all, the course pays him better than his JVs. But know that during the course he will give you bad information, that he does not use himself, that does not actually work, simply as a cover to sell you one or two of his own products: the Dollarmakers CLub membership, the MLMs, and the investment vehicle
Note: I am not saying the investment he promotes is crap, I am simply saying that Dollarmakers is a cover for his promotion of this investment. The promotion itself is not a Joint Venture. It is simply sales. There is a distinct difference.
BUYER BEWARE!

I wish this site was up in 2006, when I bought his stupid JV course. I think later he only sold it as part of the membership thing, but at that time, I got a special price of like $97 or something. After getting the program, I was pumped, but eventually came to the conclusion that this was a rip-off, where robin was selling a business opportunity. Also, robin is an idiot – for example, one time on a teleseminar, he told a guy who was in the financial services field that he should split commissions with bird dogs. When the guy said that splitting commissions is illegal, robin didn’t understand. In the financial services, real estate, legal, and medical fields in the U.S. — you lose your license if you split commissions (give referral fees) to unlicensed people! Robin just didn’t understand the concept. I don’t care if he’s in Canada – he’s a “business idiot” who happens to be a slick bizzop guy

So.. you’re saying that Robin Elliott’s dollarmakers is a rip off in the U.S.?
That’s an interesting point… if he’s selling the program in the U.S. he should be somewhat knowledgable about the laws there.

Well, I don’t know about laws, and I didn’t say anything about laws.
But I do know that when Robin teaches people “techniques” that Robin doesn’t use himself, people should know that. If these JV techniques were so golden, he’s follow his own rules. But they are crap techniques. Sound good in a classroom, yes, but go and try them on the street. We have. They don’t work. You can’t even track the sales. No risk? Yeah right. Even Robin wants to get paid up front for his seminars. How is that “NO RISK” for the guy organizing a seminar? Sounds like “NO RISK” for Robin. Do as I say, not as I do. What a great teacher! Sheesh.
I think I’ve narrowed it down to this: he took a Jay Abraham course and now he is a Jay Abraham wannabe. I will tell you what, he is no Jay Abraham. He should have simply named the club “Stevemakers” or “MLM-Makers” instead of Dollarmakers. It’s just a front – so why not be upfront about it?
