When is it too old to start something new, like an online business? As we get older, we lack the motivation and energy to learn something new. We feel irrelevant and get stuck in our normal routines and predictabilities. We see the younger generations making thousands of dollars from online business and despite their tech-savvy wisdom, they lack experience, patience, and perspective that comes with age. So, what's holding you back? It is never too old to start again. If you are struggling to understand the ins and outs of doing business online and not sure where to start, this site will give you an insight on where to start.
If you don't build your dream, someone will hire you to build theirs
This thing is all over the internet now! I personally believe that it's a scam. $149 a month is kinda a lot. I don't think there's gonna be many people willing to pay...
ReplyDeleteI'm a blogger myself, and I think that I'm going to write a negative review of it :)
I really like what you have going on here. You have three or more angles on promoting WA, while at the same time making a great effort at being personable. The disclaimer page is really good.
ReplyDeleteAll that said, it's my opinion (only an opinion, you know how those are!) that while you do an excellent job of spacing your verbiage, facilitating a good readership, that the site is too verbose on each page--too much for me. I have a short attention span like many. I like scanning a page and seeing the highlights (pictures and headlines) so I can sum up whether or not I want to spend time on that page.
I'd consider shortening the pages. Maybe by breaking up the content into chapters or whatever you'd like to call them. Part 1 and Part 2, etc.
Again, only my opinion. You have excellent work here.

Sounds exactly like a pyramid scheme to me. So many of the MLM marketing companies turn out to be pyramid schemes because they only benefit those at the top and the people on the bottom suffer the most.
ReplyDeleteNot a good business model. I appreciate you doing an honest review of this company as it will not be a good one.
Hi Julius. yes, SmashFund is the flavor of the month now and everyone is raving about it. Some reviewers even claimed to have made money already. This is hard to believe 'cos when I joined, SF didn't debit my credit card (I think!) so how can any 'upline' make money?It is good to know that you will be writing on this topic.More people will be aware of its potential danger.
ReplyDeleteHi, Alec. Yes it does sounds similar to what happened at Efusjon. Although the company claimed it was not a Pyramid scheme, a lot of members think otherwise. And this may repeat here at SmashFund. Thanks for dropping by an dsharing your opinion.
ReplyDeleteH. Steve. Thanks for this feedback on the overall website layout and presentation. Will take note of your comment and see what I can do to make it better. Cheers and have a good day.
ReplyDeleteHey Mazlan,
ReplyDeleteGreat review. I am a blogger myself and actually wrote a review about Smashfund yesterday.
I am just worried the negative impact this will have on bloggers promoting Smashfund to earn money online.
It takes time and effort to build trust with your readers and a misstep like promoting a scam [even if unknowingly] would destroy any credibility.
I just hope others learn a lesson from this article and review and research products before they promote it to their audience.
Hi Mazlan,
ReplyDeleteI have been reading reviews all week on Smashfund. With each review I have found myself teetering with the idea of joining. I don't like that there are no instructions how to cancel. However, I did read, that is the reason they are not billing yet. Smashfund is in the pre launch phase and don't have all the features active on their site. Therefore, they don't want to charge members, but they do want to allow them to establish their networks so they can start making money right after launch. I heard that Towles was the creator of the Candy Crush app, but I did not know about the other companies he was a part of. Thanks for sharing that information. I am all the more cautious thanks to your review.
Hi Josh.It's interesting that you mentioned Candy Crush 'cos it was embroiled in a controversy with another developer that claimed Candy Crush copied some of the game idea!Is this just coincidence that there are controversies wherever we find Rob Towles?Thanks for dropping by Josh.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is troubling to find bloggers eager to earn an extra income without doing due diligence whenever they write product review. But I think this is only a handful. Thanks for sharing, Josh and hope to hear from you soon on how things are moving on with your SmashFund review.Cheers.
ReplyDeleteHi Mazlan,
ReplyDeleteIt's like 5th or 6th review of the Smashfund I've seen in last few days. I think that it can be a Ponzi scheme. Why? Where is the reason to create crowdfunding website where you have to pay 150$ to be a member and then you can send more money to people who need it (I am talking about individuals who don't want to promote it)? Several crowdfunding websites are free, so I don't see huge success behind SF. We will see in future and in which direction admin will go.
They are asking for your credit card but they aren't giving you a way to stop payments? That sounds pretty nasty.
ReplyDeleteSmashfund is already sounding a lot like a method of tricking money out of people. Its better that we don't join.It would be a waste of time, and money.
Yes, it sounds sleazy actually and I suspect SmashFund is aware of this shortcoming and last night I received an email from them (which they send to all members) that 'new features are on the way'.We just have to wait and see. Thanks Blame for chipping in.
ReplyDeleteHey Simon. You are right. Before I decided to join SmashFund to get info (to write this review,) I too was bombarded with several SmashFund articles and all of them were very upbeat. I actually left comment on one of them but was denied, simply because my comment was negative towards SF!Thanks for dropping by.
ReplyDeleteThis site is laid out very constructively and it is easy to read and image you have added to the website my be a little bit distracting and one is tend to loose concentration and need to read lines over just to pickup the story line.
ReplyDeleteProfessionally laid out and look good on the first glance
Hey Quinton, thanks for your feedback on my post layout. Will take note of your comment and do the necessary changes. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteMy husband wanted to join this scheme but thank god we found this article. Thanks for doing all the checking and sharing it online.
ReplyDeleteJane, thanks for dropping by and sharing this info. I am glad this article has helped you and your husband. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteSo much can be said in regards to SmashFund. There are a considerable amount of pointers towards the trick way while still such a variety of towards an authentic impeccable arrangement. By and by, I think I wouldn't call it the SmashFund trick yet until I saw it working and doing in opposition to what it guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteSo for the time being, we can abandon it at that, and sit tight for it to dispatch and begin working. However, I would very propose that individuals don't go along with it until it is completely dispatched and has started working. This is on the grounds that you'll simply be putting your Visa in the danger of extortion if the organization neglects to dispatch.
Hi, Calton. From the time I wrote this article and now, SmashFund had introduced a lot more features to its member's site. Probably after the numerous negative reviews. I had my credit card charged for the initial membership fee. As I didn't intend to be a member, I wrote in requesting for refund. They replied the next day saying that it will be process immediately. I must admit I was impressed and hope they will do well.
ReplyDeleteWow the membership is $149 per month - I have to be honest with you here, that slightly worries me because of the info availbale on the system so far!
ReplyDeleteHow long have you been a member there for - have you seen any sort of positive results or turnarounds with the platform at this point?
I joined Smash Fund to understand the system and write this review. I have since cancelled my membership before the 1st payment due date.Yup, it is expensive and its not worth the money.
