How Mark Warren and The Ultimate Wealth Package Makes Money
The last two posts (I II) discussed the “free” websites available from the Ultimate Wealth Package and Markwarrenwebsites. This post will cover what’s really behind these “great” offers.
If you paid a visit to Ultimate Wealth Package you’ve probably read about how Mark Warren made $112 just on the first day he implemented his money making idea.
One day while I was working I came up with an idea on how I can make money online. I went home and turned on my computer and decided to explore the online world. I got so excited from the ideas in my head I decided to use one of my sick days and call off work the following day. I stayed up all night putting together this system to make money online finally at 4 in the morning it was up and running, and I went to bed. I went out for breakfast in the morning with a friend and when I returned home I turned on my computer and got online. I could not believe my eyes!!! I made $112 while I was sleeping and while I was out eating breakfast. This was as much money as I would earn working all day at my full time job.
The problem with this claim is that its simply not possible to make $112 in just a few hours of uploading either your website or whatever online “money making” system you have on to the internet. The turn around time for Google and other search engines to first index your site would be a few days at a minimum. The only way I can imagine anyone making so much money in such a short time is either through extensive advertising, like dannys-scam-review.com or through posting repeatedly in multiple forums. The former approach makes much more sense but this would mean the advertisements would probably be something dishonest in nature. I mean look at the websites he’s selling, how dishonest could one get.
So whats the great “money making” secret that’s making Mark Warren so much money? Its essentially the same secret that makes money for the free turnkey adsense ready website vendors – the commission they receive through web hosting affiliate programs. The more people they get to sign up with their “recommended” hosting provider the more money they make.
If you noticed on markwarrenwebsites.com and on my previous post, in order to get a functional “money making” site you need to sign up with Mark’s recommended host.
All you need to do is sign up to the recommended host and we take care of all the technical stuff, provide you with your promotional material and vouchers… and you sit back and start earning money with your new website.
Right when I saw the statement above, I immediately suspected that he was receiving a commission for every one who signs up for web hosting with his “recommended” hosting provider. This is exactly the same tactic that the free turnkey adsense ready website vendors were using.
While most of the adsene ready website vendors were using the Hostgator.com’s affiliate program Mark Warren uses the program provided by Midphase. The Midphase affiliate program pays out as high as $85 per referral.
Notice at the top of the screenshot that Midphase has so far paid out a whopping $4,000,000 in commissions. With at least 35,000 of these mark warren websites existing in cyberspace I wouldnt be surprised if most of the 4 million dollars were going to Mark Warren and his team. No wonder he’s so wealthy.
So where did I get 35,000 websites from?
Whenever I want to get specific results with my Google searches I enter the appropriate criteria in the search field box. In this case, I selected criteria that would appear on every one of the markwarrenwebsites and put it in quotations. All of the 35,000 Mark Warren websites were hosted by Midphase and had the free website offer at the bottom of the web page. I simply entered “Hosting by midphase” and “get your own free website!” and the search results returned with this:
Each and everyone of these websites is identical. The surprising thing is that when I checked the source code of ten random sites the Google adsense codes were identical as well and matched the adsense code of the “free” websites. This means that Mark Warren or someone else with this adsenes code is advertising Google ads on 35,000 websites. This revenue stream is on top of the money received through Midphase referral commissions.
Another thing I noticed in the search results was that it appeared as if some of the websites were sold from other vendors and not directly from Markwarrenwebsites.com. However the contact information and links at the top right corner of these web pages link back to markwarrenwebsites.com.
If you ask me, all this looks like the real secret behind the Ultimate Wealth Package.

You also get the impression from his $112 story that he spent at least 10 hours setting this up, add 5hrs of sleep and 2hrs going out for breakfast and he made $112 in 17hrs, or, $6.59/hr. It is quite possible that he had other databases set up in advance or had some existing sites with good ranking, and rode on that sites back. But most likely he spent the night on forums.
Keep It Up.

Is there any way to get the $50.00 back (for the free web site) the site originaly had a 60 day money back guarantee. the site was revised and the 60 day money guarantee was only after 60 days which would lock you into midphase(midphase allows 30 days to refund your money-$21 for domain fees)

Hi Cathy,
someone mentioned on another post that they received a refund from midphase after contacting them. Send them an email and tell them that you ordered their plan because of the Mark Warren website but you feel that you were played. They should refund your money.

Ari,
Thanks so much for what seems to be incredibly valuable information. I’m getting quite the education. I can see how all of what you say makes sense. I understand that signing up for UWP is probably not the way to go. Here is my question, though: One take I see on all of this, is that it is all about ‘affiliate marketing’, meaning one is promoting other companies products to drive up their sales, therefore you receive commission when a sale is made. Is this not true? Can you not make a living from this? Is it just web hosting companies that offer such great commission to make it all worthwhile? And because Mark Warren has the market on that advertising , then everyone else is screwed? I’m overwhelmed with all the research and information I am coming across. MW may not be a respectable product to sell, but what about learning from the tools he offers to do for yourself?

Hi Deb,
So to answer your question, you can do it yourself and you dont need his tools. Also, he doesnt have the market on advertsing midphase anyone can do it. Just sign up for their affiliate program and eveyone who signs up for hosting with midphase through your affiliate link you make money. This often sounds great to people who are new to the web but its not so simple to make money this way. The reason being is that despite all their wonderful awards, midphase is not the best hosting company out there. Their rank on webhostingjury.com (fifth company from the bottom of the list), based on 29 user reviews, is terrible. Therefore, you need to do some serious misleading to really make any money with these types of affiliate ads. Many people who promote midphase through their websites do so only to make the $85 and dont actually use the company for their own hosting. They go with more reliable hosting for their own sites. Thats why you need to be able to mislead people.

Ari, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Perhaps I missed a section, if so please direct me, but what is your take on pay per click programs?
Comment from Ari
Time: August 16, 2007, 2:13 pm
It depends on what type of pay per click ones you are dealing with. The major companies use pay per click, google, yahoo, msn. thats how people make money from adsense. The main challenge is getting thousands and thousands of people to visit your site so you can make money through the clicks.

I signed up, got the material from the website, got hosting from Midphase all on the 14th. I have no website yet, and his support staff states they don’t have my info. so “send the email from the proper email address” so they can help me.I am beginning to feel scammed. They state immediate access to the website on the ads on their site. 15 emails later, I have no resolution.

I agree wholeheartedly with #9 Anonymous - The only one that gets rich is the guy running it. I was scammed out of $169.00, they said they I should not feel that way because I will receive a full refund. i’ll believe it when I receive the refund check and cash it……

Hello, on Sunday I signed up for initiation to the
program. I ran out of money before the last step, to
activate the web site for the ultimate Pro package.
I’m prepared to pay 119.00 but I’m having trouble
advancing threw the middle, to reach the last step.

Yeah I signed up for the UWP, and I actually knew it was most likely a scam. My experience has taught me a lot about the whole online thing, and how tricky it can be.
Oh and by the way Ari, I couldn’t help but notice that Mark’s ad is on your site (in your adsense).

Oh you’re right. I wonder if he decided to market directly to this site or just set it up automatically. What a load of B.S. “Make $1000 Per Day”.
You dont need his product or any product to make money online. You could do it with just $8 per month hosting fees and $6 per year domain name registration. But it would take a long time and a lot of work for someone to make a $1000 per day without scamming people. What these guys are doing, Mark Warren and Daves cool little website, is taking tools that anyone can register to use for free and bulding sites out of them and selling them for lots of money. All you have to do is create an account with clickbank and build everything yourself. If you dont have a clue as to what to do then get something like Profit Lance and have him guide you to build your own original site. Mark doesnt really give you anything sustantial.

I also have signed up and made a whopping $20.25 in the first week of my site being up. $10 per month for the domain wasn’t bad, I thought, if I could make some money, but I haven’t been able to get traffic to the site with out spending more money. Every step further seems to ask for more. All the sites look the same too, there is minimal altering I can do to make it look different. Does anyone else have one JUST like this: www.4wynns.com ?

Hi Mik, there are thousands and thousands like yours. Did you click on the search result link in the post above? There are at least 90,000 of these identical websites on the web now. Here is the search result link and you will see for yourself.
This is why I said above that its pointless to buy his product. Google will never index your site because its identical to thousands of other sites.
You could make your own original site for the same amount of money. But people are very weary of these sites. They know now not to trust the bogus product reviews especially when it says “legitimate product reviews” at the top of the web page. None of the ads you see above on this very page contain honest reviews. Its exactly the same as what you bought from Mark Warren except they are unique in design.
BTW, everyone has to buy ads to market their site there is no way around it.

Hello everyone, I have decided to do a lot of research before buying ANYTHING, I am a novice at running a computer in general. I am just now starting to learn HTML, but I have come to the conclusion that creating your OWN web site makes a whole lot more sense than buying ANY of these cookie cutter “YOU CAN MAKE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS” Bull S. packages. I’ve been reading this quote all over the .net at reputable companies “IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE…IT IS.” Running a legitimate business online takes a tremendous amount of hard work, long hours and dedication. Promoting a web site takes a lot more than point and click. IT WILL COST A FEW DOLLARS TO DO IT RIGHT. That is what I am coming to terms with after extensive searching on the web. I’m disappointed like everyone else, I want a turnkey “SMILE ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK BUSINESS TOO”, but I’m NOT willing to throw away the little and hard earned money I have on some unscrupulous jerks promise….I’ll leave by saying, “friends, do your research.” Those of you over 30 will understand it is EXTREMLY rare for one human being to …GIVE…anything away let alone MONEY….your friend WILL…THE CYNICAL GUY
P.S I’m working on it folks.

Hi Will,
thanks for the comment. If you are serious about buying a turnkey business and you have some money to spend then consider giving sitepoint.com a visit. This is the place where people auction of their money making sites. Bids can go into the hundred of thousands of dollars for some really good sites. Ocassionally you might come across a profitable site sold for cheap ($10,000) simply because the owner couldnt manage the site anymore for whatever reason. Once you take a look at sitepoint you’ll see how much a *real* money making site costs.

I purchased this product and it was absolutely a scam. They made it extremely difficult to find to communicate with a live person. You received automated e-mails and “live chats” when questions arose. They post small commission earnings on your control panel at random to try reducing chances of a refund. This is a big scam and please beware.

To all who bought into this Mark Warren b.s.like me,you can go back to clickbank and tell them you want a refund for all the stuff you bought from the scam.They will ask you for your last name and zip code and clarify the date and product and tell you it’s on the way in around 5 days.I did this and now am going to contact mid-phase.Good luck everyone.

If you feel like you have been scammed, please contact the BBB, your prosecutor, and/or the Ohio Attorney General. Mark Warren’s real name is Mark Jenney and he lives in the Akron area (Ohio).
