Hey guys, and welcome back to Make that Sea Change. As you are probably aware, one of the main focuses of this site is to assist you in finding good ways to earn money online so that you can fund your own sea change in whatever fashion that may be for you. Those of you familiar with my work will also know that I like to point out what it good and not so good out there so you don’t get burnt with the scams. Hence, when I find a site that tells me that it can build me an “Automated-Store” and drive free buyer traffic to it in 60 Seconds, then I am going to try it out. So with that in mind – welcome to my Wave Review.

Ok, so there are two main things I want to check out here – firstly, can I really build an online website and drive free traffic to it in just 60 seconds? And secondly, is the $17 I paid for it worth the money?

For this review, I will run you through:

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

Red Flags

Usually programs of this type with the sorts of headings they have used (free in traffic in 60 seconds etc.) come with all sorts of red flags and straight off the bat, there are so many of them here that if I wasn’t looking to purchase for the purposes of this review then I would have just closed the tab and got on with my day.

But anyway, these red flags include:

• Long sales videos with lots of pitches but with no identification of the actual person behind the program or any demonstration of what we are actually purchasing (we see the seller, but not the developers).
• Fake testimonials telling me they made $1000’s in the first month that they owned the program.
• Constant reminders that “I know you have been scammed in the past, but this is different – this is the real deal”
• A long story about how the speaker was broke and about to lose his house and marriage until he discovered this method.

What makes this even more confusing for me is that the software you get for $17 is not too bad, so why not get rid of the rubbish and just outline what it is?? Anyway, I paid my $$ so let’s check it out…

What is Wave?

Wave is an online website and e-commerce store creator that allows you to promote products from sites such as ClickBank, JVZoo, Warrior+ and even eBay. Products are generated via RSS links from these sites and then promoted via social media.

The idea is that via the use of RSS feeds you are able to quickly load numerous products from the platforms above and make money via affiliate links within them.

What do you get?

So, with my entry level package (I did not purchase any upsells) I received access to the members area where I there are a number of options that I can work through. These are outlined as follows:

Section 1: Academy

The first section covers the ‘training’ element of the program and comprises of a 7-minute video outlining:

• What make a good e-commerce website
• Demonstration of how you can set up new products in under 60 seconds (I will elaborate on this below).
• Demonstration of other inclusions such as SEO optimisation and social media sharing.

Section 2: My Websites

So here is where you can start to create your own e-commerce website.

The site is free to set up as a sub domain of Wave so I entered my new website name and boom, I have a new site.  Once I register (this part is a little confusing) I can now perform the following on my site:

• Profile – I added a logo I created in Canva
• Social Accounts
• Preferences
• Visual settings

Adding posts

So obviously the main aspects here are to add products that I can sell so I found a little button at the top to add some content that meets my chosen subject.

This section allows me to create posts and add other options for my site. However I must be missing something as I created a post and an image and the platform states that it has been submitted. The problem is that they are not showing on my site and there were no error messages.

I will also say that this took me way longer than 60 seconds and I am not sure a total beginner would understand the SEO and meta-tag aspects of the setup without some extra tuition – not to mention why my new posts are not showing.

Section 3: Traffic

In the profile section of the software, I was able to link to my social media accounts. This section allows me to link to them and I am assuming that this is where my free buyer traffic for my site comes from (as it is with most programs of this type).

Section 4: RSS

In the training video, the speaker discusses the fact that you can populate your site via RSS feeds from marketplaces such as ClickBank and e-Bay etc. Once you click on the Section 4 link however you need to sign up to an external site called RSSGround.

This is free to join but you will be limited to 1 campaign per day. For more, there are higher volume accounts that cost between $8 and $16 per month.

Once you have set this up, you are able to populate your site automatically as per the academy training video.

Note: For this section to work, you will also need to join and apply for affiliate accounts on whatever platform you choose to promote from (ClickBank, JVZoo etc.).

Section 5: Help

I will give kudos where kudos is deserved here as unlike many of these program types, Wave does include a comprehensive help section with explanations of all sections with suggested completion requirements etc.

Pros

• 30 Day money back guarantee.
• Software functionality works (although I couldn’t get a post to load admittedly).
• You do get a free sub domain website.

Cons

• No free trial option.
• There is a lot more work to it than outlined in the sales pitch.

How much is it?

• Front End Offer: $17 (usually $87 a month)
• Upsell 1 – Unlimited Stores: $29 (usually $297 a month)
• Downsell 1 – $19 for above
• Upsell 2 – DFY: $197 (usually $1997)
• Downsell 2 – $67 for above
• Upsell 3 – Wave Autopilot: $39 (usually $197 a month)
• Downsell 3 – $29 for above
• Upsell 4 – DFY $100+ per: $197 (usually $197 a month)
• Downsell 4 – $77 for above
• Upsell 5 – DFY Store: $197 (usually $1997)
• Downsell 5 – $67 for above
• Upsell 6 – Traffic Masterclass: $39 (usually $2997)
• Downsell 6 – $29 for above
• Upsell 7 – Scale to $1000 per day: $39 (usually $997)
• Downsell 7 – $19 for above
• Upsell 8 – Reseller Rights: $39 (usually $1997)
• Downsell 8 – $29 for above
• Upsell 9 – Add 200 Best Products: $39 (usually $997)
• Downsell 9 – $19 for above

Do I recommend it?

If I am being honest, this one does look like it has potential to be of assistance. The website creator appears to work and the RSS feed process is quite clever. So for $17 I think if you were looking for a quick and easy way to promote your ClickBank products, then this may work for you.

If you are looking to purchase however, I would recommend the following:

1. Only pay for the base product until you are comfortable with it (there are a LOT of DFY upsells)
2. Learn a little about SEO and RSS feeds before you start – this will help.
3. Try and centre on a single niche to fill your site with until you branch out.

Now to the original sales pitch…

You will NOT have anything up and running in 60 seconds – even of you have all of your background requirements in order (affiliate links and RSS access etc.) . And if you are completely new to this process then you may struggle with some of the concepts.

That said, I would certainly not call it a scam and if you are familiar with the single program side of affiliate marketing with ClickBank products etc., then this product could definitely assist you in taking it to the next level with quick posting RSS feeds.

How does it compare to my #1 Recommendation?

As I have said, the program above can certainly be of assistance to those working within the single product world of online marketing – and more power to you. However if you are serious about building a solid and sustainable online business, then I recommend that you give Wealthy Affiliate a try. You will not earn money immediately and will not have a site up in 60 seconds… But in time you will have a solid, online money making business to call your very own.
