Hello there sea changers and welcome back – Today I am going to look at an interesting little site that I have stumbled across in my usual research travels with my Income Profits Review. I say interesting as within its sales video (which we will discuss in a minute) it tells me that the way that it works is via a system called Traffic Middleman Arbitrage. I was intrigued – I mean I have to admit that it is a description I had not heard of before but if it can make me $1000 a day as per the sales pitches, and for the low low price of only $9, well then I just have to check it out…

For this review, I will run you through:

• What it is
• How it works
• Pros and Cons
• Cost
• My recommendations

Can it make you $1000 a day? – Well… I guess it could. Like many of these types of programs there is a slight possibility that it could happen, but if I am being totally honest, I am really not a fan of how this program works in order to generate it. Also, whilst I am on the honestly train, if I was not purchasing this product purely for the purposes of this review, I would have run a mile due to some all too common red flags in the initial sales page and video itself.

These red flags include:

• Long sales videos with lots of pitches but with no identification of the actual person behind the program.
• Fake testimonials – Yep, I found the same people on Fiverr.com.
• Over inflated income promises including the “Normally you should run a mile from programs that offer riches from day 1 but this one is different” chestnut.
• The ‘person’ who introduces themselves in the sales video (Tom Williams) as the person behind it all is not the same person who does the training videos.

The only saving grace from this is the fact that it appears to be sold via ClickBank – which is confirmed at the purchase page (It is a ClickBank purchase page with a ClickBank receipt).

What is Income Profile?

Once you have made your purchase (and skipped all of the upsells like I did), you are given access to the main membership page where I assume I can get stuck into three step process outlined in the sales video:

1. Choose a website
2. Drive traffic to it
3. Bank the profits

From this page I can see that it is effectively an affiliate marketing training platform with a number of cross and upsell opportunities. However, at the end of the day, it is all about the Income Bots Plugin – see below.

What do you get?

Within the membership platform, there are three main sections where my content can be accessed. This is what I got…

Step 1: Access Your FREE Bonus

Selection of this option will take you to a webinar registration page where I can learn all about making a profit with ClickBank.

The webinar does give me a little information but as with most packages of this nature, it is more about the sales pitch for some more expensive coaching and mentoring.

Step 2: Income bots

Step 2 introduces me to Monica, my personal support manager who tells me t all about Income Bots and points me to the download button with accompanying instructions.

This is where we get to our 3 steps process I mentioned earlier. In a nutshell, Income Bots is a wordpress plugin that allows you to do the following:

1. Find a website that you want to ‘leverage’ traffic from – the examples given were blog sites as the instructions outline that you want to find good pages with lots of problem solving information.

2. Add the website URL to the plugin – where you add your own little popup to it that is designed to look like it has been created by the original author however it pushes readers to your own affiliate links rather than those on the original site.

3. Post the ‘new’ page to social media etc. – The plugin creates a new URL which you then promote via social media and the like to drive people to your own affiliate links.

The platform claims that this is ethical as you are not removing any affiliate links on the original post, rather simply adding yours over the top to hijack potential purchasers before they can get to that point.

I have not seen the wording anywhere in the installation instructions or training but I am assuming this is where the ‘middleman’ comes from in the term Traffic Middleman Arbitrage.

Step 3 – Traffic Arbitrage Affiliate Training Videos

This is actually the only part of this platform that is probably worth the $9 I paid to get into it.

There are a number of videos here ranging from 2 to 20 minutes in length mainly covering details on how to profit with social media platforms and others such as Quora and Udemy. Some of the content in there is good and from the three or four I have watched, all are fairly accurate and helpful.

There is nothing here that I have not seen before, or could get for free, but again for $9 I am not going to argue about it. I did learn that traffic arbitrage is effectively a fancy name for the promotion of affiliate marketing links via other platforms such as social media and their world-famous Income Bot software.

Do I recommend it?

No, I really can’t see enough here to recommend this platform. I think the processes could work if you have a talent for social media marketing and are able to identify good posts to match to relevant groups within those platforms. Personally however, as someone who works hard on their site I just don’t feel comfortable in a process where someone could promote that hard work with links over the top that can steal the very sales that I have worked so hard for.

The training aspects of the platform are ok but again, there is nothing there that I could not get for free elsewhere. There is possible potential for the training aspects of this site to improve in future however in light of the fact that there is not clarity on those behind it I cannot see this ever becoming the case.

How does it compare to my #1 Recommendation?

Whilst there is some training here on the basics of website development and affiliate marketing, the ethics behind the whole thing just don’t resonate with me personally. So if you are completely new to the whole website building and online selling caper or looking to build a solid, ethical and sustainable business, then I recommend that you give Wealthy Affiliate a try.
