Is Newbies On Fire a Scam?

Is Newbies On Fire a scam? Well, the golden rule applies to any products; if you read what's being said on the home page and can't make heads or tails of it, simply stay away. I've been invited to join Newbies On Fire by a network marketer that I've known for a while...and had to laugh for two reasons; I'm not a newbie, and the site does not sell anything unique. This is another scheme that's specially made for experienced network marketers to make money. For "newbies" - it's too pricey, in my opinion.

Is The Product Suitable For Newbies?

If you are new to online marketing and wish to learn the basics, Newbies On Fire is not for you, contrary to its name. Because the training packages only consist of supplementary tips, such as branding tips, how to use FB chatbot, and creating your own products. You'd still have to get basic learning materials elsewhere to start a sustainable business.

Low-Quality Homepage

You can actually tell that Newbies On Fire is a typical MLM just by skimming through the homepage content because it's really not "selling the products". The slogan reads; "Everything You Need To Rapidly Grow Your Traffic, Leads, and Sales" which has already been said by many, many thousands of online marketers. But it never explains what makes these products stand out from the crowd. 

In other words, the Newbies On Fire's homepage itself is not clearing the marketing basics - to solve people's problems.

For example, the founder Christina Hooper says that many paid training programs teach you something that you can learn from YouTube for free. I agree. But she goes on to say that her solution is to show you how to generate leads, increase sales, drive traffic and brand your business. That's all she says, and it's not a valid answer. You can also find many free training materials to generate leads, increase sales...on YouTube.

All the 5 products are listed within the homepage but the information is minimal with too many decorative expressions, barely makes sense. For example, the Starter package is about developing personal branding. She says "people have commoditized personal branding" by "irresponsibly using social media to build their personal brand". I don't know what kind of people she's calling irresponsible, and she never explains what she means by "commoditizing" branding, but if that's what people do, then that's the trend. She needs to tell you how this product can uniquely help you thrive. Simply blaming "irresponsible people" won't get the users anywhere.

You will know a little bit more about each training package once you sign up for free. But not in such a good deal.

The Training Course Packages

Here's a little more detail about what you can learn from the Newbies On Fire packages. 

• $30 Starter Level - Blogging and branding course. Introduction to branding, name creation, color psychology, custom logo creation, and mascot creation.
• $110 Basic Level - How to find buyers. Research your competition, profiling, gathering intel, media mapping, buying habits.
• $275 Advanced Level - Facebook chatbot training course. Basics, chatbot mistakes, increase conversions, organize ideas, implementation. 
• $550 Elite Level - Product creation (create and launch new products, ideas, writing sales letters, create upsells, choosing a platform, and launch). Membership platform (tools, setting up, products, price points, mapping, recommended scripts). Customer retention (when they first join, site layout and navigation, what software to use, public recognition, grandfather pricing, create a content democracy, releasing your content).
• $1,097 Diamond Level - Business automation. Google Analytics (setting up an account, connecting to WordPress site). Zapier automation (integration and autoresponder app). Sendgrid (email marketing).

Overall, it's very pricey. It claims to be a "complete" learning system, but as you can see, you won't learn anything about traffic unless you buy $275 Advanced Level, and will never learn anything other than the use of FB Chatbot as a mean of driving traffic. 

I also feel that Diamond Level is underwhelming. There are plenty of training on Google Analytics, Zapier and Sendgrid out there for free (on YouTube!) I don't think it's worth paying $500 for.

Can You Make Money With Newbies On Fire?

As I explained earlier, Newbies On Fire is not for newbies but it's a scheme for network marketers to sell training products to earn commissions. Like most of the other MLMs, the quality of the actual products is a secondary factor. So you'll make money if you already know many prospects and you are willing to sell.

Personally, I cannot recommend products I don't genuinely believe in to anyone, and I also think the homepage is pretty embarrassing, I wouldn't like to make money with this product. The decision is up to you.

Is Newbies On Fire a Scam?

No, it's not a scam. It's one of the thousands of legitimate network marketing schemes where you earn your commission by recruiting others. If you are new to online marketing and looking to make money by helping people, you won't be "on fire" with this. I personally wouldn't recommend it.
