About two months before this video, I bought into Multiple Income Funnel. I drove paid traffic to it. I waited. I watched the numbers. And after two months of doing exactly what the program tells you to do, I made zero dollars and lost somewhere between $300 and $400 total. This is the honest update I promised everyone who reached out asking how it went.
This is not a hit piece. I enrolled in the program specifically because I did not want to talk about something I had not personally tested. What you are about to read is a breakdown of exactly what happened, what the real cost structure looks like, why the “done for you” promise fell apart in practice, and what you should actually do if you want to make money with affiliate marketing.
What You’ll Walk Out With
- The real total cost of enrolling in Multiple Income Funnel, broken down by level
- My actual traffic results: 341 hits, 108 leads, 92 video sales letter views, zero sales

- The Google Trends pattern that tells you the big players have already moved on
- The misleading income claims in the video sales letter, and who actually made that money
- Why you cannot earn commissions at levels you have not purchased
- What actually works instead: real skills on platforms you already use

Why I Made This Video in the First Place
About six weeks before this update, I put out a video warning people to be careful with Multiple Income Funnel. I had noticed a pattern: a lot of big names, people with tens of thousands of subscribers, people with 5 to 15 years in affiliate marketing, were all promoting the program at the same time. That kind of coordinated promotion from experienced marketers is worth paying attention to. Those folks have large lists. When they all push the same thing at once, the early buyers see activity and assume the product works.
Then, about a week after that first video, I came back and said I had spoken out of turn. I had called something a pump and dump without having used it myself. That bothered me. So I made the decision to put my money where my mouth was. I enrolled, bought everything the program recommended, and gave it two full months before reporting back. What follows is that report.
What Multiple Income Funnel Claims to Do
The core pitch is simple: you drive traffic, and they do everything else. You are not supposed to be writing emails, building funnels, or closing sales. The system handles follow-up for you. That promise is what makes this appealing, especially for beginners who do not yet know how to set up an email sequence or write a sales page. You just pay to get traffic flowing and collect commissions.
There is a back office with resources: pre-written emails, web banners, social media templates, and weekly training calls. On paper, it looks like a complete system. In practice, the numbers told a very different story.
The Real Cost Breakdown
Before you can earn anything, you have to buy in at multiple levels. This is not a one-time purchase. Here is what the actual cost structure looked like when I enrolled:
Level 1: Multiple Income Funnel costs $49 per month. This is the entry point and what gets you access to the back office, the pre-made funnels, and the tracking links.
Level 2: Easy1Up starts at around $25 plus a processing fee, but the commissions are capped at whatever level you purchase. If you buy the entry level, you can only earn entry-level commissions. If someone you refer buys a higher package and you have not bought that same level, the commission passes up to your sponsor. The most expensive package is $2,000, named something along the lines of “Vertex Pro Super Max Inverted Double Down.” You have to buy that $2,000 package yourself to earn $2,000 commissions. If you send someone who buys it but you skipped that level, that commission goes to whoever is above you.
Level 3: A chatbot tool that I ended up paying for but received no real training on how to use. I went in expecting to pay around $49. By the time I was done, I had spent close to $200 or more on this tool. Not because I chose more features, but because the enrollment process was confusing and the person who brought me into the program had not purchased this level herself. So when I tried to buy it, the transaction ran through a different sponsor entirely. I was being billed for something I did not fully understand, with no guidance on how to actually use it or promote it.
Level 4: Traffic Authority is the traffic source the program points you toward. They are essentially the engine behind the whole system. If you want quality traffic, you are expected to buy it from them. I had already used Traffic Authority through a different “done for you” program before Multiple Income Funnel. My results with Traffic Authority there were zero. That history gave me reason to be cautious about relying on them again.
All together, between the monthly fee, the Easy1Up buy-in, the chatbot charges, and the solo ad traffic I purchased through Udemy, I was in the hole somewhere between $300 and $400 by the time I recorded this update.
My Actual Traffic Results After Two Months
I bought 225 solo ad clicks through Udemy and ended up receiving 246 clicks. I created a unique tracking link so I would know exactly where any results came from. Here is what the dashboard showed after two months:
- 341 total hits
- 108 leads opted in
- 92 people viewed the video sales letter
- 0 sales
That number, 92 video sales letter views, had not moved a single digit in two months. The same 92. No new views. No new leads converting. No purchases. Nothing. I should have taken a screenshot at the start to prove it, but anyone who has used this program knows what a frozen dashboard looks like.
Now, is 108 leads a massive number? No. But the program is sold as a system that sends follow-up emails on your behalf after someone opts in. If 92 people watched the sales video and did not buy immediately, where did the follow-up go? Why did zero of those 92 come back over two months?
The “Done for You Follow-Up” Problem
Here is what I think is actually happening with the follow-up system, based on what I observed. When someone opts in through your link and watches the video sales letter, that is your one shot. If they do not buy immediately, that lead gets passed into someone else’s follow-up funnel. You do not own that lead’s email. The relationship shifts to whoever is running the follow-up sequence at that point, and if they eventually buy, you do not see the commission.
You can email your leads yourself. The back office gives you access to do that. But think about what that means: those people opted into a funnel branded around Multiple Income Funnel, not around you. They do not know who you are. They signed up to learn about this program, and now you are cold-emailing them as a stranger. That is not the warm relationship that converts.
The whole promise of “done for you” is that you do not need to do the follow-up work. But if the system is only ever sending people through the VSL once, and if those leads are then effectively handed off, then what exactly is being done for you? You paid for traffic. The traffic opted in. The system took over. And two months later, nothing moved.
The Google Trends Signal You Should Not Ignore
One of the simplest due-diligence steps you can take before joining any program like this is to check Google Trends. I pulled up Multiple Income Funnel in Google Trends and looked at the past 12 months. The pattern was clear: there was a significant spike in interest in December of the prior year. By the time I made this video in July 2021, interest had dropped substantially.
What does that mean in plain terms? The big names, the people with large YouTube channels and email lists, promoted this heavily in December. They got the early commissions. The product got a burst of attention. Then those same big names quietly moved on to the next thing. Meanwhile, the people who joined in January, February, or March were left promoting a product to an audience that had already seen it. They are the ones trying to get traction with a cold audience on a product that peaked months ago.
I want to be direct about this: I do not think the people who promoted Multiple Income Funnel in December are bad people. But when you see that pattern, you should understand what you are walking into. The market timing for this product had already passed by the time most beginners found it.
The Income Claims in the Video Sales Letter
One of the most concerning things I noticed before I even enrolled was the video sales letter itself. There is a person in that video who talks about making significant money, with a figure in the neighborhood of $18,000 referenced. The implication is that he made that money with Multiple Income Funnel.
The problem is that is not quite the truth. That person made money running his own version of a similar funnel system, not this exact program. He had built out his own operation. Then he stopped running it, reportedly because Easy1Up told affiliates to stop making public income claims. So he shut down his version and now appears in the video sales letter for Multiple Income Funnel, with the framing that his results came from this funnel.
That is a meaningful distinction. Those results came from a completely different setup, one that no longer exists, presented in a way that implies you could replicate it by buying into this program. That kind of disingenuousness is one of the things that originally made me put out the warning video.
The Commission Pass-Up Structure
Easy1Up, the product at the core of Multiple Income Funnel’s revenue model, works on a pass-up commission structure. You can only earn commissions at the level you have personally purchased. If you buy the entry-level package, you can earn entry-level commissions. If someone you refer upgrades to a package you have not purchased, that commission goes up the chain to your sponsor or their sponsor.
I have seen people on YouTube say with a straight face that you should not waste money on expensive courses, that most $500 or $2,500 courses are not worth it. And then in the very next video or the next breath, they tell you that you need to buy the $2,000 Easy1Up package so you can earn $2,000 commissions. That is a contradiction that should prompt some careful thinking before you spend money.
If you buy the minimum to get started and a person you refer decides to go all-in at the top level, you earn nothing from that transaction. It goes to whoever above you did buy that level. That is the structural reality of how the commissions work.

Why Canceling Was Not Easy
One of the more frustrating parts of my experience was that every month I tried to cancel, and every month I could not. I noticed within the first month that the numbers were not changing. At that point, I wanted out. But despite trying, I kept getting charged. The program did add some new features between my initial enrollment and this update video. But those additions did not change the core problem: the numbers were frozen, the leads were not converting, and the system was not doing what it promised.
If you are in a program and you want to leave but cannot figure out how, that is a red flag on its own. A product confident in its results makes it easy to stay and easy to leave.
What You Should Actually Do Instead
This is the part I want to spend real time on, because the criticism is worthless without a better direction. The money I spent on Multiple Income Funnel could have gone toward any of the following, all of which build skills that transfer and compound over time:
TikTok: You can build a following around a specific topic without spending money on ads. The organic reach on TikTok, even as of 2021, was something YouTube and Instagram creators would have given anything for a few years earlier. If you can make short, consistent videos, you can grow without a budget.
Pinterest: Pinterest drives consistent search-based traffic to affiliate content, blog posts, and digital products. It is not as flashy as other platforms, but it works over time. The traffic is often people who are actively looking to buy or learn, which makes the intent quality high.
YouTube: Building a YouTube channel takes time, but every video you publish continues to work after you stop working. The content is searchable and durable. If you spend the $300 to $400 that Multiple Income Funnel cost me on improving your YouTube setup, a decent microphone, some basic editing software, or a few hours of learning from YouTube creator courses, you are building something that belongs to you.
Blogging: Written content that ranks in search can send affiliate commissions for years without ongoing effort. You do not need a big audience to start. You need to write about specific topics people are already searching for and link to products or services that solve the problems those people have.
YouTube ads: If you want to run paid traffic and learn something in the process, YouTube ads are a legitimate option. You can hire someone on Fiverr to create the ad creative, run a small test budget, and actually learn what paid traffic looks like on a platform with real attribution. That is money spent on education you keep.
Facebook ads: Learning Facebook ads is a skill with real market value. Agencies pay for it. Businesses need it. If you are going to spend money learning paid traffic, spend it on a platform where the skill is transferable and where you own the data from your tests.
The pattern across all of these is the same: you are learning a skill that belongs to you. Nobody can take it away. The algorithm changes, platforms evolve, but the underlying skill, understanding audiences, writing copy, creating video content, analyzing data, is yours permanently.
Honest Drawbacks of the Alternatives
I want to be fair here because “just learn real skills” is easy to say and harder to live with when you are starting out and want to see results quickly.
TikTok and YouTube take time. You will probably make 50 videos before you see meaningful traction. Most people quit before that. That is the real barrier, not money. If your time horizon is six weeks, organic platforms will feel like they are not working, even when they are building momentum.
Blogging and Pinterest are slower still. Quality SEO content can take 6 to 12 months to rank and drive meaningful traffic. If you are in a financial situation where you need income in the next 30 days, a content strategy is not your solution. You need to solve the short-term problem first, and then build the long-term asset on the side.
Paid ads have a real learning curve and a real cost of mistakes. Running Facebook or YouTube ads without understanding targeting, creative, and conversion basics will cost you money with no return. The skill is valuable. The learning period is expensive.
None of this means you should settle for a program that promises to do everything and delivers nothing. It means you should go in with accurate expectations about the work involved in any path that actually works.

Frequently Asked Questions
Did you make any money with Multiple Income Funnel?
No. After two months, 341 hits, 108 leads, and 92 video sales letter views, I made zero dollars. I lost somewhere between $300 and $400 accounting for the monthly fee, the Easy1Up buy-in, the chatbot charges, and the solo ad traffic I purchased.
Is Multiple Income Funnel a scam?
I am not going to call it a scam outright. There is a real product with a real back office, pre-written emails, training calls, and tracking links. But the “done for you” promise did not hold up in my experience, the income claims in the sales video are misleading, and the commission structure is designed in a way that benefits whoever is at the top of the chain far more than the person just starting out.
What is Easy1Up and why does it matter?
Easy1Up is a digital education platform that Multiple Income Funnel uses as its primary commission vehicle. The products are packaged training at different price points, from roughly $25 up to $2,000. You can only earn commissions at levels you have personally purchased. If you have not bought the $2,000 package, a $2,000 commission generated through your efforts goes to your sponsor instead of to you.
What is Traffic Authority and do I have to use it?
Traffic Authority is the traffic source Multiple Income Funnel points toward for paid solo ad clicks. It is not strictly required, but the program leans heavily toward it. I had used Traffic Authority previously through a separate “done for you” program and got zero results. I used Udemy solo ads instead for my test, and while the opt-in rate was reasonable, zero conversions came through in two months.
Why did the big YouTube promoters stop talking about it?
Looking at Google Trends, interest in Multiple Income Funnel peaked around December of the prior year. The large affiliates who promoted it early collected commissions during that peak window and then moved to the next program. This is a common pattern. The product gets a burst of attention, early promoters earn, interest fades, and newer or smaller affiliates are left trying to promote something the market has already moved past.
Can you cancel Multiple Income Funnel easily?
In my experience, no. I tried to cancel after the first month when I saw the numbers were not changing, and I was unable to. I continued being charged each month. If you enroll, make sure you understand exactly how to cancel and what the process requires before you put in your payment details.
What is the pass-up commission structure?
In Easy1Up, commissions are passed up to your sponsor when a sale occurs at a level you have not purchased. For example, if you buy at the $25 entry level and someone you refer buys the $2,000 package, that $2,000 commission goes to whoever is above you in the chain who did purchase at that level. This is why the program pushes you to buy at the highest level possible.
What should a beginner do instead of programs like this?
Pick one platform, whether that is TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, or a blog, and build skills around that platform specifically. Learn how that platform’s algorithm works, what content performs, and how to connect what you create to affiliate products your audience actually wants. That takes longer than buying into a “done for you” system, but the skills you build are permanent and the results compound rather than stall at 92 video sales letter views that never move.
