Today we are reviewing Maverick Money Makers Entrepreneurs Club
Lets start with the claims made by Mack Michaels, the originator of the Maverick Money Makers Club.
“Who Else Wants To Get Their Hands On A Step-By-Step System That Can Make You At Least $11,917 Per Month Starting From Scratch?…
(Guaranteed to work even if you are “un-motivated”…In fact, it is best if you only put in an hour or so per day!)
This certainly gets your attention, but in that respect Maverick Money Makers starts off no different from many other high-powered entrepreneurial program sales letters … even down to the rags-to-riches success story that Mack tells.
Of course, we all KNOW this is designed to personalise the sales interaction, but it still often works. We will look further into his claims in a moment, but first lets take a look under the bonnet and see exactly what specific tools he has to offer to stimulate the quick wealth creation he guarantees.
An In-Depth Peek Inside the Club
One of the first things you will read inside the club is straight from Mack himself, and he appears to be a very personable but straight forward guy:
“There are many places that teach you how to make money online, but this is the ONLY place that will teach you how to build a full-blown six figure a month business on the internet and give you every tool imaginable.”
On inspection, it appears he and his team of researchers are working hard to make this happen. You are greeted with a “Quick Start” welcome video that immediately jumps into ways to profit quickly and recoup your investment, as well as a monthly update video that recaps the latest additions to the club.
The club interface is very simple and straightforward, with 6-button navigation panel on your right. Inside each area are clearly defined links to instant zip downloads, or online streaming training videos.
Mack Michaels Loves Videos!
The core of the club is a series of training videos, including:
- Complete Core Training System (Development, Online Spying, Keyword Mastery, SEO Intelligence, and Content Creation)
- Quick Money BluePrint Systems (Super Affiliate, Yahoo Answers, Google Trends, eBay Trading, and Free Trial Offers)
- Skillset Training Systems (Finding and Buying Domain Names, How to Use Domain Forwarding, How to Use Clickbank, How to Find Affiliate Products, How to SetUp a Google Adwords Account, and How to Master the Google Content Network)
For the get-right-to-it personalities, Mack can start a bit slow sometimes as he builds rapport, but once he gets going he is very clear in both his onscreen pointers and communication about make-or-break details. Budding entrepreneurs will appreciate his clarity.
The videos themselves are a cut above most streaming videos online. I have spent countless hours watching streaming videos stutter and sputter, barely clank along, and frequently completely grind to a halt. These are large, clear, and easy to watch–a rare commodity these days.
It helps even more that these are clear because many of the videos last anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour–so no one can accuse Mack of NOT over-delivering when it comes to this content. You get the idea he really does want you to succeed, and is trying hard to impart his considerable knowledge about online marketing, while at the same time trying to simplify it for the newbies–and still give critical details for more advanced users.
There are plans to add additional videos to each of these club areas each month, and the titles and skills are intriguing–especially including the “Millionaire Systems” video yet to come.
For ease of use, Maverick MoneyMakers rates a highly commendable 5 stars.
Brilliant Niche Marketing Ideas
For new online entrepreneurs, Mack asks a question most of us have asked ourselves at some point:
“Have you ever wanted to create your own product on the internet, but never knew what the best niche market would be to dive right into that would be a guaranteed success for your product or service?”
Two of the club areas dedicated to wealth creation are NOT video content, including this one. Mack and his researchers have put together over 100 specific starter topics for you to use as thought generators for marketing in successful niches from the start. He labels this his “Brilliant Niche Marketing Ideas.”
But they take it even one step further in the “Turnkey Products to Sell” section.
Here they link to over 100 blue clickable links of instantly downloadable zip files that carry complete starter marketing campaign resources: PLR articles in 9 different languages, in Word, text, and HTML formats, affilate programs for each topic areas, and even LSI keyword research for each topic.
(For those who are not yet familiar with LSI, or “latent symantic indexing,” it is simply the naturally-occurring keywords associated with a main keyword, and lets just say that these more detailed keyword lists are time-consuming to research — and it MAKES GOOGLE VERY HAPPY!)
The bottom line here is that all of the heavy lifting has been done for you already, but there is still plenty of flexibility in each of these areas to put your on spin on it. This avoids the problems of many cookie-cutter campaigns offered by most sites, where every member runs exactly the same campaign.
Mack gives you the critical pieces, and it is up to you to give it your own personality and direction with the other tools and training he provides. After all, you are an entrepreneur.
There is a wide variety of information available here–not all of it is new or unique, but few sites have pulled it together as well as this one. With most membership sites you still need to go play hide-n-seek with Google to find the missing pieces to make your campaigns work effectively.
However, Mack DOES contribute quite a bit of hard-to-find mid and advanced level tips and tricks to help your marketing shift into top gear. For example, most Gurus tell you to stay away from Google Adwords Content Network, yet Mack shows clearly how to take advantage of the variety and lower CPC (Cost per Click) it offers.
NOTE: (Old Rating) In the current state, the club tools represent a great value which will increase with monthly updates. We rate it 4 stars, but with a bullet.
UPDATE: 30 hours of new video added to Club for December.
UPDATE: 20 hours of new video added to Club for January, + 40 hours of coaching, “How to Create a Video Tutorial,” and more.
UPDATE: 12 hours of new video added to Club for February, plus an entire navigation interface makeover, and the first live Teleseminar (recorded for those membes who missed it.)
UPDATE: For March, 4 new Skillset Videos: Finding Profitable Blogs, Finding Profitable Sites, Decoding PPC, and Decoding Articles. Six new 60 Second Guides, plus more.
UPDATE: April brought a biggie, LIVE PHONE SUPPORT for member questions inside the Club, plus three “strategy videos” to help guide newbies (Automated Affiliate Strategy), intermediate (Quick Money Strategy) and experienced (Big Business Strategy) marketers. Six new 60 Second guides, SEO Secrets, more.
NEW: With the consistent updates and new materials added, we now consider this a strength of Maverick Money Makers and upgrade club tools and techniques to 6 stars.
The Pros & Cons of Maverick Money Makers
First, the cons.
Maverick Money Makers is a membership site, meaning it has a continuing monthly subscription fee of $97. (I will reveal a secret in a moment about how to get an instant discount.) For many who are simply dabbling in the internet as a hobby, MMM is not the way to go. It is truly for entrepreneurs (even if part-time) who are serious about making maximum cash in minimum time.
So for those who are just looking for the “next new thing” to try, this is not it. There are cheaper ways to paddle your feet in the internet marketing wading pool. This wealth-creation club is for those who want to make money NOW,
and who need the knowledge to make that happen.
Second, some of the techniques take a cash outlay to implement. However, these are offset with his low and no-cash “Quick Money Blueprints.” If you need to start slow, investing more time than money, and then scale up as you create some income, Mack provides a path for you, too — without making you feel bad about the slower progress.
Third, because most of the information is provided in video form, it takes a little while to consume. Though the quality of the information is excellent, I wish there were pdf quick start guides or summaries for those who prefer learning
by reading. On the other hand, written materials take a lot longer to produce than a “how to,” on-the-spot video tutorial.
So there is a tradeoff, with the videos winning out because of both clarity, and the ability to stock the club with MORE information, MORE rapidly.
UPDATE: Starting in February, Mack responded to member’s request for PDF documents and began adding printable “Fast Action Guide” PDFs.
Finally, the club is a work in progress. For some, seeing the “coming soon” tags in certain portions of the website will be a turn-off. To me, it represents a clear path toward continued education and upgrades.
UPDATE: All of the original “coming soon” areas have been filled in, and new training material is being introduced monthly.
The Pros ….
On the pros side, Maverick Money Makers has a huge amount of positives.
One hidden one might be motivation! Once you invest your $97 bucks each month, you are pretty juiced to earn that money back. Fortunately, there are plenty of tools and techniques inside the club to make that happen.
In fact, the simplicity and money-making power of some of the advanced techniques is jaw-dropping. It becomes easier to understand how some people are routinely pulling in outrageous sums working an hour or two a day from their home office.
You will discover that while some of the basic ways of making a little extra income via basic affiliate marketing are valid, the REALLY big money is available primarily through using specific techniques and strategies that most marketers are not willing to reveal.
He also shows us probably the most amazing video on how much he has made online using the same techniques you will be learning.

In fact, there is a saying about the Gurus ….
“Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.”
You might suspect that there would be competition among club members using the same techniques. This is perhaps the greatest strength of the Maverick Money Makers Club. Despite the wealth of information, it is easy to understand…
and it is presented in a way that provides great flexibility for individual marketers to go out and do their own thing successfully.
The internet is a huge place, with constantly shifting interests and opportunities. There is plenty to go around for everyone, and all of the keywords are not going to be used up!
On the other hand, about every 12-18 months the techniques that worked great before start to dry up, and so anyone planning to make a living from internet marketing should plan to invest both time and money to stay abreast of the current effective wealth creation trends.
So the club makes a lot of sense as an ongoing way of self-educating with a guide who has been there and done that already.
Of course, you can always join the club and then bail out within 60 days with a refund if you feel it does not offer you sufficient value. Clickbank (the payment processor) requires all merchants to offer an ironclad money back guarantee. A prime motivator for owners of membership sites like Mack is creating ONGOING value, so that turnover among members is reduced.
It is much easier to keep a satisfied member happy than to bring in a new one.
