My Lead Gen Secret Review: Lead Gen Or MLM?

MyLeadGenSecret is a program that is essentially a mix between an MLM and an actual lead generation business. It was created by Jim harmon in an effort to help people break free from their 9-5 without having to spend thousands per day on ads.

He believes that if you follow his systems, you too can live life on your own terms and earn plenty of money from home.

But is it legit? What's inside My Lead Gen Secret? And how much does it cost?

Scroll down for my full review.

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!

My Lead Gen Secret is a lead generation program. And frankly, this is probably one of the better business models out there.

However, My Lead Gen Secret isn’t our#1 choice here.

There’s a right way and a wrong way to do things in lead generation.

The wrong way involves chasing clients, and using either outdated templates or poor-performing Facebook ads to get cheap leads that never buy or even answer the phone.

This creates a ton of client turnover, forces you to do a lot of selling, as well as experimenting with different types of ads and campaigns.

It’s a very active business model, and is more of a self-created job.

And honestly, this is kind of how My Lead Gen Secret is. It's a lot closer to any MLM in my opinion.

However, the right way to do lead generation involves building assets that YOU own and control.

Assets that attract high-quality, ready-to-buy customers to YOU, that you can then flip to the client for a fee.

Today we’re going to go over a few important things about the local lead generation industry – which is one heck of a business model when done right.

Of course, skeptics often ask whether or not the local lead generation business model actually works.

I like to tell them that I’ve ranked and rented my websites to the tune of 5 figures – every month!

How does that work for ya?

Now, my partners and I also work some lead generation on a pay-per-call basis, but I’m going to zero-in on my lead gen websites today primarily because of how much I love building them.

Do you know what the foundation of your lead generation website is?

Building the site is great and all, but to make money online, you have to focus your marketing efforts to rank your website on page 1 of Google (and any other search engine).

Unfortunately, if you can’t do this and generated leads from the calls you get, then your website is worthless.

But, if you ARE able to get your website ranked and have targeted traffic coming to it on a regular basis, your Digital Leasing asset has the potential of being a cash cow.

Just like if you bought a single family home, or an apartment complex and rented them out to monthly paying tenants, your Digital Leasing can command the same earnings potential.

Unlike traditional brick and mortar real estate, the great thing about the rank and rent website business model is that there’s virtually no upfront cost.

More specifically, the only significant investment you’ll make in your local lead generation website is the time it will take to learn the skill and apply it to your website asset.

Of course, you will need to buy a domain name, pay your monthly hosting, and website content and links, but when you compare this local lead gen business model to that of Home and Fire insurance and maintenance costs, you’re paying virtually nothing.

Still Getting Paid

Unlike other Lead Gen Secret reviews, we’re actually going to figure out whether these guys check the right boxes or just want your money.

And most importantly, I’ll show you the exact local lead gen system I used to build my own internet marketing business to over $40,000 a month in mostly passive income.

What Is MyLeadGenSecret?

lead generation review

My Lead Gen Secret is a program where you buy the leads and are just required to sell them.

What type of leads are you selling?

My Lead Gen Secret Leads.

Confused?

Let me clear it up.

You are buying into a system where you are sold leads that are interested in also join My Lead Gen Secret or other products affiliated with Jim Harmon.

Kind of sounds a little shady...

You know, no actual product to sell.

But are you able to close any sales with them?

What I mean is, just because you get 100 or even 1000 leads every single day for just $100, the bottom line is that if you don’t make any sales, you’ve just wasted $100.

However, $60 to see if a new lead source pans out seems like a worthwhile risk.

Who Is Jim Harmon?

lead generation full review

Jim Harmon is the sole proprietor of the My Lead Gen Secret program.

From what others in the marketing world have said about him (apparently he’s been at this game for over a decade), he’s not the worst guru.

He promises the usual: generating leads via solo ads, and turning more leads into making money online.

His program offers its own autoresponder to help follow up with potential customers.

So, we’re going to cut into the whole program and go over some results.

That way, you can make an informed decision to see if this program is for you or not.

What's Inside My Lead Gen Secret?

Whats Inside My Lead Gen Secret

While doing my research I ran into a few people who were promoting My Lead Gen Secret that said his course is one of the best lead provider courses available.

It seems that half the Internet loves Jim Harmon, and the other half want him dead.

Now, this could mean one of a few things.

The first thing about the kind words could be that the leads you generate are pretty cheap, which is awesome!

Second, it could be that all those positive reviews are paid for in some form or fashion…

But I digress.

The whole process is really pretty simple.

Leads from My Lead Gen Secret:

local lead gen

So, for instance, I reviewed a batch of their most recent 200 leads.

Here’s how they were broken down:

  • 191 USA
  • 5 Canadian
  • 3 Australian
  • 1 Britain

You’ll notice that all these countries are all what I like to refer to as Top Tier, in that the vast majority of the people living there have credit cards and disposable money.

I’m telling you, just knowing that you can get leads from these countries at .005 cents is pretty sweet, and you’re getting these leads fresh every day which is a huge perk.

However, it’s still quite possible that you could pay anywhere from .60 cents to $3 for these leads depending on the market.

They also provide you with the tools you need in order to get in touch with these leads and subsequently make them buyers, plus you don’t have to worry about losing your shirt.

Keep in mind though…international leads like these are more likely for those like Jim Harmon selling an international online product…

MLGS – Building Up To 200 Leads Daily

So, when I first signed up, all I did on the platform was testing. I had no doubt that it was worth the money when 3 of my offers converted to sales.

Lead Gen

You’ll notice that in My Lead Gen Secret, that I was getting a lead at a rate of 100 per day… every single day.

Also, if you look at my leads for May 9th, they jumped from 100 up to 200 per day.

This happened because a member signed up underneath me.

What’s really nice is that when at least one member signs up under you and they’re paying on a monthly basis, the company starts sending your 200 leads per day, all for $1.

Sounds a bit pyramid-schemey, but it’s a nice perk all the same.

It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to see that I could easily make enough to cover my $30 monthly fee with 6,000 leads per month.

MLGS Statistics:

local lead generation business

What I’m showing you now is my personal results.

Over a period of 10 days, I was emailing out an offer from My Lead Gen Secret and had an average 12.41% click to open rate.

I don’t care if you’re a marketing veteran or just getting into the business, I’m sure you can see this a good number.

I’ll spend $30 a month on rates like this every day, hands down.

I mean, 200 leads every day!

Showing these people all your offers and products… for this price, no brainer, right?

Not exactly

It turns a out a ton of these leads “clicking-to-open” might be in-house bots…

Not REAL businesses.

Unfortunately, this tempting program is essentially a house of cards – and anything that focuses on constant recruitment like this is should be viewed through a lens of suspicion.

how to start a local lead generation business

Technique #1:

OK, so how do you actually make money with these 100 leads that you’ll be getting every day?

There are many ways…

In fact, you’ll be getting so many leads that you can send them other offers.

But, you can also send people to MLGS.

After logging in, go to the top and click on “affiliates”.

local lead generation training

Next, you just copy the Subject and Body then paste them into the emails and send them off to your leads.

But, you’ll want to fine tune them with some pictures or screenshots.

But don’t get all bogged down on the how; just focus on the why, start taking imperfect action and trust the process.

It all comes down to one thing…

Testing!

Test an offer and see if it works.

Once you find that one product that people want to buy, start reinvesting into your marketing budget and scale.

For that matter, you could make more money focusing on one product that you can scale instead of 10 products individually.

Just don’t overthink it… find the one product and scale.

Keep in mind, you’ll have 100 leads coming in every single day from MLGS to email your offers.

You’re probably thinking wait a minute…this sounds just like affiliate marketing mixed with some network marketing…AKA Multi Level Marketing

And guess what…

You’re exactly right. Even though you can probably make some money with them, it’s not going to be worth it in the long run. Especially if the company ever goes under (think house of cards).

The truth is, you’re not getting leads for any other industries…just leads to sell this saturated program.

It’s a vicious cycle.

local lead generation course

Technique #2:

Being an affiliate marketer with Clickbank is one surefire way of making money with MLGS.

Go to Clickbank.com, create an account, click Marketplace, then go to the search icon.

Now, you’re likely wondering how to find products for your leads to buy.

Well, it’s really pretty easy.

There a literally hundreds of products from Clickbank that you can sell, just search them from the #1 product all the way to the worst product (but I wouldn’t waste too much time on that one).

So, the best Clickbank product that you can find to promote with MLGS is probably going to be a “money making product” to send to your business opportunity seeker leads.

Here’s some that I found when going through the list.

This is the exact process I used when finding a product that made me $700 in my first week.

Which was pretty cool since I was getting 100 leads that week.

So, why pick the top Clickbank offers, wouldn’t there be too much competition?

Well, that’s exactly why you pick the top offers… your competition is already making money from them because they convert.

The other ones don’t convert as much, or at all.

After you found the product you want, just click the “Promote” button and follow the prompts.

You’ll get your affiliate link (hoplink) with a tracking code.

Just copy this link and keep it somewhere that you can easily get to it.

This is the link you’ll use when you send the offer to the leads you get from “My Lead Gen Secret” leads.

You may not have a Facebook Support group, but you will be able to communicate with other community members in some form or fasion.

What Does The Internet Have To Say About My Lead Gen Secret?

What Does The Internet Have To Say

Let’s hear what the people have to say:

“I went with it for a couple of months but honestly I got so bored that I quit. My main reason is this. Other than that it seems to provide some kind of income to people that go all the way in with sending lots of emails but nothing crazy…

I would say it is a “semi-scam“.

Personally I prefer to go with other means of income generation that I have more control over. I don’t like participating in platforms I don’t control. And if you think about it… you can’t do anything with the leads you collect from MLGS other than scamming random people.

Your choice though….”

Don’t waste your money..

I was using it for 2 months.. I got lots of clicks but minimal opt-ins (I had less than 5 opt-ins from over 9000 emails sent).. You’re better off buying solo ads..

Waste of time and money.”

Here’s a positive one, but it looks phony to me:

Real, Responsive Leads – Highly Recommended

My name is Derrick. I’m 28 and a full time affiliate marketing working from home with my wife. I first joined My Lead Gen Secret 07-Jan-2020. Yes, I’ve been a monthly upgraded member for nearly 3 years now and love these guys.

If you’re on the edge:

1. Are the leads real?

It doesn’t take much to find out the answer to this question. Just include your email address and/or phone number in the signature line of every email you send via their system, asking the leads to reach out to you if they have any questions. I get texts and emails nearly every day from interested leads. So yes, the leads are real and doesn’t much to figure that out.

2. Do the leads buy?

I get sales at least every 2-3 days. Some days back to back sales and I don’t even mail every single day. The frequency depends on what you sell, the ad copy you use and your mailing frequency. Me? I mail at least 4-5 times per week using the pre-written ClickBank swipes provided by the vendors, with my own personal twist. See which swipes convert, rinse and repeat.

3. Is it worth the money?

Put it this way. You are investing in list that grows over time. At first you need to develop a rapport with your leads and see what makes them bite. MLGS is a flat $30/mo with a $30 setup fee. You could burn through that in just a few clicks on Google Adwords OR you could invest in building a long term list with MLGS.

You could spend a month watching/reading positive case study after case study for MLGS on Youtube/Google or you could create an account and start testing yourself. They are legit and I highly giving them a call or getting on live chat so they can get you up and running. Your business will thank you.

Best tips for newbies:

* Put a tracking tag on your affiliate links.. ie email1 to identify which emails your sales come from. Re-use ad copy that converts.

* Request a free campaign review from your account manager if your sales slow down. They want you to get results so you keep paying and the tips they have given me when implemented have had a tangible increase in conversions.”

Is My Lead Gen Secret A Scam?

Scam or Legit So, is My Lead Gen Secret a scam? Not technically. It’s a perfectly respectable MLM like lead generation program

It’s just not our #1 choice.

Because Digital Leasing has taken the lead generation model and put it on steroids. It innovates on every part of the business model and makes it so accessible that pretty much anyone can succeed at it.

What if 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.

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.

If this sounds more like the type of life you want to lead, just click here to find out more about Digital Leasing.

How Much Does My Lead Gen Secret Cost?

How Much Does My Lead Gen Secret Cost

Now, just so you don’t get sticker shock, it’s going to cost you $60 to get started… $30 up front for the first month and a $30 setup fee.

Suspiciously cheap for the knowledge/income it promises.

Something not uncommon in the online marketing/affiliate program space that promises more sales every single day.

After the first month total cost is $1 per day for 100 leads.

So in short it’s going to cost you $60 bucks to get started and $30 a month after your first month.

What’s great is that you don’t have to sign a long-term contract.

And, you can use the platform as long as you like.

Does My Lead Gen Secret Offer A Refund Policy?

Does My Lead Gen Secret Offer A Refund Policy

They do offer a refund policy, however only on their terms.

As it states, you will only be refunded if they don't hit their quota 100 leads to you per day.

I like this, but I do have some reservations.

The main one being, how are we able to gauge the quality of the leads? What good are 100 leads if they have a 0% chance of closing?

For all we know they could just be meeting their quota by any way they can, dropping lead quality, and pawning it off to you so they're guaranteed payment.

I hope that's not the case, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

For a refund you will have to fill out a support ticket.

Are There Alternatives To My Lead Gen Secret?

At the end of the day, it’s possible to make money with MLGS

What Is Our #1 Recommendation To Make Money Online In 2024?

Digital Leasing

The ScamRisk 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: Unlike other lead generation models...

Especially ones like My Lead Gen Secret, that are more MLM like...

Digital Leasing gives you full ownership over every single asset, 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.

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
