Why Listen To Us

My name is Josiah, and this is my Dad, Joel.why listen us

Together, we make up the team here at Scamrisk.

If you’ll let me bother you for two minutes, I’d like to quickly explain why I’m even here writing this review.

In early 2020, I had just graduated from college & had no real career prospects.

I knew I was destined for something more, but I had no clue how I was going to make it happen.

I had this sinking feeling in my gut all the time… like the “big man upstairs” had accidentally given me the version of life where I’d be mediocre forever, instead of the one where I was, ya know – happy & fulfilled.

Anyway…

I had fiddled around with some different online businesses in college:

Some random MLMs, a bit of affiliate marketing, a (failed) dropshipping store or two, all the usual suspects.

Even my dad had been involved in MLMs back in the day… selling knives & other random nonsense people (probably) didn’t need.

All I really wanted was to find something that was going to actually work for me.

Maybe those things had worked for others, but for me it all turned up a fat “0” in the bank account department.

So I searched! And searched… and searched… and searched…

And eventually, I somehow stumbled upon a program that promised to help me build an income online (read about it here if you’re curious).

I didn’t really want to be “rich”.

The thought of making a reliable $5K per month & not having to worry about clocking in to a 9-to-5 ever again was all I needed.

Sure, there were people in the program doing high-6 and low-7 figures per year… but that wasn’t what I was out for.

I just wanted to provide freedom for myself, and if I was lucky, take my family along for the ride.

Fast forward a few days and a few phone calls & I was enrolled!

Here’s the first “money making website” I put up:

why listen us gif

I built that site in 2020, and it still makes me $1,500 per month. It’s a basic 5 page website I built based on a template the program provides.

The best part to me? My dad and I get to do it all together!

So between the:

  1. Ease of reaching $5-$10K per month in income online

  2. Straightforward-ness of the system to do it

  3. Fact that I get to do it w/ my family

Is why I recommend local lead generation as my #1 business model for making money online.

Sure, it takes some work and dedication – but anyone that tells you that there’s a business out there that requires no work is selling you a lemon.

I’m not saying you need to sign up for the same program I did, but I would definitely recommend giving the business model a peek!

Jason Wardrop is a guru who provides insight through ad agency courses. The basic premise is that you’ll learn how to build your own ad agency, land clients, and get them results.

Running an agency (even though they’re a bit of a commodity nowadays) isn’t a bad way to get your feet wet in the world of online business.

That said, there are a lot of moving parts with this business model:

  • Prospecting - you need to know how to find potential clients
  • Sales - you need to know how to convince those clients to give you money
  • Media Buying - you need to know how to run ads profitably
  • Copywriting - you need to know how to tailor your ad messaging for the right customers
  • Design - you need to know how to design ads/landing pages to maximize conversions
  • Email Marketing - you need to know how to follow up with prospects and customers
  • Automation - you need to know how to connect everything properly

Now, most course-sellers will try to make this easier on you by telling you they’ve managed to “automate everything”, offering “plug-and-play” campaigns, and “pre-built templates”.

Here’s the thing though:

Markets are always changing. They get more savvy as time goes on.

If you buy a program with thousands of other students, where everything is built out for you, there’s an almost 100% chance those templates don’t work.

Why?

Because if thousands of other students are using those exact same “plug and play” campaigns, tens of millions of people have already seen them, reducing their effectiveness.

Not to mention, with most agency programs, the templates are actually built by some virtual assistant in the Philippines or India, and have never actually been tested in real life.

And if they have, there’s a good chance they’re extremely outdated, since most programs don’t bother updating their templates after launching. The course creator gets too busy just trying to sell to more and more students, instead of focusing on quality education.

Now, here’s the most sinister part of this whole thing:

Most course creators market their agency courses as something you can do anywhere in the world. You might hear them say things like “The world is my office” or “This is a simple passive income business”.

That’s just plain false. Running an effective agency is in no way passive. Look at the list above, and remember that you can’t rely on pre-built templates. You’re responsible for every part of the process.

Does that really sound like a business you can do from a laptop on the beach?

Living The Beach Lifestyle

See how this could be a problem?

Now, what if there was a way you could build a passive income stream that’s actually passive?

An income stream that doesn’t require:

  • Mastering 100 different roles
  • Needing to be a technology wizard
  • Working round the clock just to keep things from blowing up

An income stream that brings in consistent revenues every single month (from a couple thousand dollars to well over $10,000)?

An income stream you could actually build in your spare time, and grow as large or as small as you want to, without having to spend hours a day chasing, selling, or managing anything?

Who Is Jason Wardrop?

Is Jason Wardrops interest on SEO led to starting his own business

All his life, Jason has always aspired to be an entrepreneur. He was always hustling to make money from his several side business.

He saved up for college expenses using earnings from his party organizing business which drew up to 8,000 customers to one of their private events.

Then he became interested in digital marketing and began experimenting with SEO, affiliate marketing, e-commerce, and other digital templates and strategies.

In 2015, he co-founded his own business with a software developer - a software company. Between 2015 and 2020, he was able to attract over 15,000 customers for his software business by using the digital marketing templates and strategies he now wants to sell.

In 2018**,** he began a YouTube channel to sell what he was learning from his software business and his following has risen to 100k subscribers.

This agency offers a free course too

Jason's Linkedin profile says that he teaches real estate agents how to use Facebook ads to create more leads, book more appointments, and close more sales.

Jason says he has worked with over 4,200 real estate agents, brokers, personally generating over 52,500 real estate leads while educating other agents on how to get 2-5 leads per day on a constant basis.

They have created software (Arsenal MKG) to help simplify and automate much of the lead generation process and have landing sites, email, templates, & SMS follow up, and lead alerts in under 60 seconds.

What Is Arsenal Marketing?

jason wardrop review scam or legit

Jason Wardrop is all over YouTube, Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads - and now he says he wants to offer the framework, templates, tools, and strategy to clients so that others can do the same.

He claims to be crushing it in the leads game with his business Arsenal Marketing.

When you’re searching for business strategies to create more leads, Jason Wardrop wants his ad agency online business model to be the first place clients to reach out to.

His stated mission is to service clients in generating more leads, email and text follow-ups (customer relationship management), and close more sales.

They have now worked with over 4,200 real estate agents and loan officers across the world.

Social Media Marketing

Jason Wardrop uses Facebook Ads

You've probably heard about the Facebook Ads algorithm and how it's always changing. Keeping up with what Facebook ads want may be difficult for business companies**.**

We now know that the Facebook ads algorithm prefers larger viewers. Facebook ads targeting has grown increasingly narrow.

Every new inclusion or exclusion raises your cost per 1000 impressions, making it difficult for small business companies to have a generous ad spend budget for Facebook**.**

Jason's Facebook ads plan begins with "housing" as the special ads category. If you are a brand new business, many of your Facebook ads will be cold. It doesn't matter, go ahead and promote using your Facebook business page.

Once you've gathered people who have engaged with your Facebook page in some manner (liking, commenting, sharing, etc.), you can start retargeting them with your Facebook ads.

You may establish custom audiences and even upload your current database to guarantee you are delivering the correct message to the right buyer at the right time and to guarantee a better return on your ad spend.

What's Inside Jason Wardrop's Programs?

jason wardrop whats in his courses

It's hard to figure out exactly is going on with Jason Wardrop these days.

He's gone through a myriad of names for what he's selling:

  • Arsenal Marketing
  • 6-Figure Agency Blueprint
  • Launch My Agency
  • Million Dollar Agency
  • Agency Partner Program

Wisdom tells us that if something works, you don't change it.

That makes me wonder what's going on with Wardrop...I wonder if it's to run from bad customer reviews?

What Does The Internet Have To Say?

What Does The Internet Have To Say

Let's hear what the people have to say:

"I was very disappointed in the service provided by Arsenal MKG. The best part of the software is the landing page element, which is pretty good. The worst part is pretty much everything else. Here is a review of what I sent to their customer service group requesting a refund based on their "100% Money Back Guarantee", which never happened. Denise, who is their customer service manager replied to my request pointing me to a refund policy that essentially was 0% after 24 hours. Who can evaluate a platform in just 24 hours? Yeah, so here you go. Caveat Emptor....
_____________

Greetings - This note is to request the cancellation of my Arsenal account and to process a full refund per your 100% money back guarantee. I'm disappointed with the whole process. Here are a list of my reasons:

First, the facilitator of the webinar consistently talked about a system that would generate leads from the ads and automatic sequences which would result in prospects scheduling appointments with the agent. All of this seemingly without the agent having to do much of anything except fund the ads and monitor the sequences. I knew that was going to end up being a bit of a stretch, but then got into the "training" after I signed up only to find an almost hard sell that phone calls had to be early and often. The gentlemen in FL may enjoy spamming people with 9 contacts a day, 3 of them being phone calls, but I certainly do not. Really seems like bait and switch to me.

...

The alleged "secret" appointment scheduling app is no secret at all. It's Calendly and I've had an account for a long time. The Arsenal MKG UNLIMITED for 3 months. That's the afore mentioned software subscription that you sell for $99 per month, which is a net value of $298, not $1194 that you state in your marketing. Your software has some decent features. The landing pages work pretty well, but everything else is pretty basic or fall short in user experience. For example: For a text conversation that took place on the mobile app to not be accessible on the desktop version (or vice versa) of the software is a bad user experience. The mobile app is really buggy. It was released too soon. There are bugs in the auto sequence system that your support couldn't explain

At $99 per month, I would expect a LOT more. If almost $1000 wasn't being charged to me above the $99 per month, I may have considered sticking with it. However, this program as a whole was completely over sold and subsequently under-delivered."

Dang, not the best start. Let's see what the rest look like:

This course offers leads generation with free templates

"DON'T DO THIS PROGRAM YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! Jason Wardrop's system is tricky to navigate. The Done for you model came riddled with mistakes and had to correct and scrutinize the work when I paid to not have to scrutinize the mistakes. I lost momentum and eventually gave up. There are other hidden costs like maillgun and go high level you need the $500 monthly plan. This trap and withholding of the extra costs are unreal.

There is no such thing as Done for you, you still have to go through every 60 videos to grasp the concept on go high level and the rest. I would have been better off not doing the DFY and building it myself. I paid almost $4000 and he gave me back like $1000. What a doucHe bag. This guy would rather keep your money and say go f$ck yourself. DON'T DO THIS PROGRAM YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!"

"Company has the worst customer service. You watch a video that Jason goes through and tells you how the system works. He tells you that you get the system for 3 months free, but they charge you right away. If you have a problem with the set-up of the system, support will not call you and talk you through the problem or look into it, they just say "oh we only communicate through email, we don't call anyone".

You are told to just watch the videos. You cannot talk with anyone; all communication is done through email only. You are told they guarantee leads from the Facebook ads or your money back. Their system is to have automatic email replies to leads, but when I had family and friends try it, they received no emails like the company says the system does. (Which you are paying for). They apparently don't guarantee their system which you are paying $$$ for.

I purchased a system that didn't work and no one would assist in correcting and when complained and told them after using it for a month to cancel was told no refund
Several complaints on BBB and several bad yelp reviews."

Is Jason Wardrop Legit? Or Is He Running A Scam?

Scam or Legit

So, is Jason Wardrop a scam?

Not technically.

You can make money with this program, but it’s definitely not as easy as Jason Wardrop makes it sound.

There’s a ton of work to be done upfront, no real guarantee of success, and - most importantly - running an agency is extremely active income (NOT passive).

Now, there’s nothing wrong with front-loading the work and making the money later.

But if you’re getting into this game to live life on your terms, travel the world, and generate passive or semi-passive income from anywhere, then this isn’t for you.

What if, instead, you could put in a couple hours a day (in your spare time) to build a single digital asset, and your reward was a $500 to $2,000 payment that came in every single month?

And what if you could get started today and have your first payment in a week?

And what if you could double it next week?

Well, that’s the power of Digital Leasing.

And, unlike a traditional ad agency, you can legitimately do this from anywhere. It’s a true lifestyle business.

Your laptop and an internet connection is all you need.

Some of the most successful students in this program run their entire 6-figure businesses from:

  • A camper in the middle of the woods
  • A beach chair on the water in Mexico
  • A small villa in Greece

Saying Goodbye To Our Jobs

They’re able to travel around, living their lives first, and focusing on their income second.

Because even if they stop working for an extended period of time, the money keeps coming in.

So adventure, memories, and experience are the top priority.

And they never have to worry about how to pay for the next trip, or consider asking for time off.

How Much Do Jason Wardrop's Courses Cost?

Arsenal MKG's cost begins at $199.00 per month per user, no small fee. Some say the monthly costs can shoot up to $500/month!

There is a free version available on a limited basis, but it's basically used to get you to buy in to the real deal.

It's hard to find the value for all his courses since so many have gone out of business, but it appears his Agency Partner Program costs about $1000.

Does Jason Wardrop Offer A Refund Policy?

It appears that Wardrop's refund policy is decent when you see it at a glance, but the legal language must allow for loopholes to be exploited...after all, there are many customer complaints that the refunds are not honored.

Are There Alternatives To Jason Wardrop?

Yes, there are plenty of other business models to choose from if you want to pursue this making money online. Here are just a few:

What Is Our Top Recommendation For Making Money Online In 2024?

Digital Leasing

Our team has spent months researching, reviewing, and vetting dozens of business models and thousands of programs.

While there may be no “perfect business”, the research IS conclusive:

Digital Leasing is the #1 online business model for those just starting out.

Whether you’ve never made a dollar online, or you’ve been in this space for a while but never really “made it,” Digital Leasing is for you.

Why?

1) It’s Flexible: got an hour a day? You can do this. Ready to drop everything else and dive in full time? You can do this. Yes, the more time you put in, the faster you see results. But even with a little time each day, you can move the needle in a Digital Leasing business.

And because this system is so flexible, you don’t have to constantly be working to make more money. It’s called PASSIVE INCOME because if you stop working, the money doesn’t.

Imagine taking 3 months off to just tour around Europe, rent a cabin in the woods to write a book, hike the Appalachian Trail, or live on the beach and surf all day.

This is only possible if you have an income stream that’s not tied to your time.

JUMP ALL IN

2) You Own & Control EVERYTHING: With an ad agency, you don’t really own anything. You’re a hired gun for clients, and entirely at their mercy.

Sure, you own your agency, but if your business grinds to a halt once you stop working, all you really have is a self-created job.

With Digital Leasing (a passive income stream), you own all the assets, which means you have all the power and all the control.

Feeling Blessed

3) Little To No Startup Costs: It’s possible to get into Digital Leasing with zero dollars upfront. Because, using the strategies outlined in this program, you can get a client to pay you BEFORE spending a penny out of your own pocket...even before you do any work.

Even without getting paid in advance, you can have your first Digital Rental Property up, running, and generating profits for less than $100.

Scott Lead Gen

4) Easy To Duplicate: Ok, here’s the best part: once you have your first Digital Rental Property up and running, you can literally DOUBLE your income with a few clicks, a couple keystrokes, and a single phone call (and you don’t actually need the phone call).

Remember: each Digital Rental Property is worth $500 to $2,000 a month in semi-passive income (over 95% profit). Every time you decide to create another one and increase your income, it gets easier.

Because you have more knowledge, more experience, more results, and more momentum.

If you wanted to double your income with an ad agency, you’d have to double your clients OR double the monthly payment of your existing customers. And, guaranteed that’s a lot harder than a few clicks and a few minutes of your life.

Lance Lead Gen

5) Make Money Helping Real People: This part is what makes it all worth it. With Digital Leasing, you’re actually helping people by solving your clients’ biggest problem:

Small, local businesses need more customers, and with Digital Leasing, you are unleashing a flood of happy, paying customers for these businesses.

You make money by helping them make money.

Not a big, faceless corporation either...a small business owner who’s using that money to put food on the table for their family, start a college fund for their kids, or take care of a sick parent.

Once you see how Digital Leasing makes a real impact in the lives of real people, you’ll sleep like a baby with a big smile on your face.

BOSS OF MY FUTURE

Now, the choice is yours. You could continue browsing, looking at opportunities like Jason Wardrop presents**,** which could one day make you money.

You could continue researching, never making a decision.

OR, you could take a look inside, consider what you really want, and join a program that makes your dreams a reality. At the same time, joining a community of over 2,000 successful students that are living life on their own terms thanks to Digital Leasing.

A consistent, reliable, semi-passive stream of income that doesn’t depend on you or your time to keep producing profits.

All while genuinely helping real people who are grateful and happy to pay for it.
