Grade SCI 6 Hour Course ...
|
|
|
SCI is a company that provides a certification course that will teach people how to work from home for Fortune 500 companies as online advertising specialists. The certification video course is downloadable and takes about six hours. After certification, the people who take the course can conceivably start making lucrative part time to full time incomes from home.
If you take the certification training course offered by SCI, they guarantee that you will be working for a Fortune 500 company when you’re done. In fact, they guarantee that you’ll be working for one before you’re even done. Your job will be as an online advertising specialist, which means that you’ll be working completely online.
What do you learn in the SCI Certification course? Basically, what you’ll learn is how to create and monetize review blogs. You create the blogs, review products or services on these blogs, then you provide links to those products or services that contain your affiliate ID. If someone buys one of the products or services through one of your links, you earn a commission. If that sounds suspiciously like affiliate marketing, that’s because it is. So where do the Fortune 500 companies come in?
You won’t actually be working for any Fortune 500 companies after you finish the SCI course; you’ll simply be promoting their products as an independent affiliate. For instance, Walmart has an affiliate program, so you can sign up with them and promote their products through your review blog, and make commissions if people buy the products through your link. The course teaches you some things about how to set up the review blogs and use keywords to get ranked in search engine results, but you do not have to have any kind of certification to do this affiliate marketing. Anyone can do it.
The SCI certification training course costs $249, and you have to check for course availability in your area before you sign up. Needless to say, there is always availability.
Feedback on the SCI company is overwhelmingly negative. This company has gone by a lot of other names and used a lot of other URL’s. It also posts “articles” by so-called reporters about how good it is, and provides questionable testimonials. Reports are that people who try to get refunds after purchasing the course and deciding that the sales hype was misleading have an extremely difficult time getting their money back, if it happens at all. Though the course does teach about a legitimate way to make money, what it teaches can easily be learned on the internet, or from a course that costs much less and doesn’t make unreal claims. Overall consensus is to pass this one by.

Scam Scam Scam Websites who promise miracles are in fact scammers. Like many people I bought the SCI courses last October -Well I knew it was nothing more than Affiliate Program stuff. I nevertheless bought it thinking that they know better and would deliver their special techniques on how to get traffic and sell better but what I got was not at all special. They simply taught stuff that I knew. I wasted my money, I wasted my time and I regretted it. I could have given that money to charity instead. Affiliate Program is hard, it does not work all the time so don't ever think that someone from out of the blue would come to you and pretend they have the formula because they don't. The only best and true way is hard work, patience, perseverance- If you are involved in an affiliate program then you will wait for a long long time before you get your very first customer. Do you want to know about SCI 6 hour Course: It's an invitation to get scammed, that's their job out there. |

Scamming again under a new name? See for yourself! The moment I saw the publicity for online courses by SCI 6 Hour Course Review, I had a gut feeling this could be a scam, so I googled it and found out about this article. It’s a shame many people got scammed by this organization. I went on the website of SCI 6 HCR and it looks to be been put on inactive. But, probably the same scammers, continue to scam on a large scale under at least one other name: Secret Cash Blueprint. I found a “hidden link” that directs the user to their new website where they make new course offers. This “hidden link” is mentioned on an internet forum (Ezine Articles) where you can still find the F. A. Q. they used for their 6 hour courses. In the last paragraph of the long answer to the following question : “Are There Really Work at Home Typing Jobs Available Online? By Alison Marell” it says: “Want to see a course sample? Click here” (then they give their link between brackets) “to watch a sample movie clip to see how easy the course is to use. The course is currently available for 50% off - limited time only! Click on the links above to find out more. ” So be aware of these new scam attempts! |

Good for Beginners I did the SCI course a while ago. What I liked about it was the easy to follow and practical lessons which had you doing everything required, ie. setting up affiliate network accounts, blogs, etc as you go. For a beginner to affiliate marketing, I think it is very good for the basics. It also shows you how to get your sites indexed on Google, Yahoo and Bing and you do this over and over again through the course, so by the end of it, the whole process is second nature. What I didn't like about it was that they claim to have you "working for" leading companies, when all it is really is signing up to Commission Junction, Amazon and LinkShare and becoming an affiliate. The promo makes it sound like once you are qualified you will have the chance to become an employee of one of the companies, which isn't the case. They said they would email when "positions" come up, but as yet, I have had none of these emails. So, I was a little disappointed in this. I've read many other reviews where people without any affiliate marketing experience have said they found the program confusing. I guess I didn't because of my experience - in fact I found it a bit boring. But, if you are a beginner to affiliate marketing and are computer literate, you will have no trouble really. |

Expensive and works like a normal course At the hefty price of $250, I thought that this would be an extremely useful course that will guarantee good jobs and give the best internet marketing advice out there. I was unfortunately incorrect by a wide margin. I signed up because my friend and I who were really struggling to find jobs recommended this. First of all, the 6 hour course was really, really tedious and boring. It was like I was doing the same thing all over again, listening to the same concept all over again and not learning anything new. I began to question the ability of this SCI 6 hour course after an hour. When I finally finished the course, I got a job that made me almost throw up. The job was data entry along with affiliate marketing. Yes, nothing big at all, and the income was so small that I probably couldn't even make up the money that I lost buying this course and most importantly the time wasted. SCI 6 hour course is a simple failure, and no one should take the course until they improve it. |

I was so confused by this I purchased this program a few years back. It was a training program that would give you a certification and help you to get a job with some elite companies. I paid a hefty 300 dollars in hopes the training would pay off and land me a nicer job. The 6 hour seminar/training course was nonsense. I do not even know if it was all real or not because it was so complex and over the top that it made no sense. I tried to get a refund of course, but when I contacted the site (over 5 times!) I never got a single response. Please do not get suckered into this scam, it is very costly and will put a major dent in your wallet. Very disappointed with the program and lack of communication from the administrators.

Worthless! A few years ago a friend and I thought it would be a great idea to purchase this expensive course, actually she purchased mine as well. So here we are talking the course and 6 hours later I'm clueless, and wondering to myself "WHAT WAS THAT?" It's a lot of information, but it's information that either does not make sense or is just sheer gibberish. I was left not only cluless, but I felt so stupid afterward. They don't certify anything, they only take your money. They never gave a refund either. This was a huge disappointment for me and my friend. I don't recommend this to anyone! Don't waste your money on it! You may be sorry in the end, and you'll be kicking yourself for wasting time on this course. |

Not worth the time or the money So after reading everything that was on the site, I decided to go ahead and sign up for the 6 hour course. From the moment I started, I was overwhelmingly disappointed. Not only was the course expensive, but it was very difficult to understand. They run through the material so fast that you can't keep up and when I tried to implement the strategies that are taught, I had no result. This is a waste of money and a scam. I do not recommend this site or it's services to anyone! Failure to produce a good end result earns this site an F in my book.

Don't even bother Who wants to work for a Fortune 500 company please raise your hand. I did, along with my cousin. We both paid for this SCI 6 Hour Course because it guaranteed that we will be able to work for Fortune 500 companies after completing this course. The price is a little steep at over $200, but we tried it anyway because we thought that we could earn it back once we get ourselves certified. Lo and behold, after certification, we didn't get any job from them. I emailed their customer support, but guess what, I didn't get any response from them at all. I am not expecting to get my money back, because it has scam written all over it. So I would tell everyone to stay away from this site. There are ways you can earn online without having to pay such an incredibly huge amount.

SCI 6 Hour Course Fail So, I purchased this course for a big $300 CAD. My friend in college recommended this program to me, stating that it would really help me out in life, and that there's no need for me to continue taking Business Administration. So, I tried his shortcut. I continued with this program for the 6 hour course and it left me clueless. This course was supposed to "certify" me as an advertising specialist. This is basically what I was going to major in in college; Advertising and/or Marketing. So, I basically lost out on a few hours of schooling, maybe a couple assignments. In the long run this program did me no help and just left me once again with empty pockets. I do not recommend this program to anyone. They're just out to make a quick buck. |
