Millionaire Exposes The Jake Paul Financial Freedom Scam

What's up you guys? It's Graham here. So let me start by asking you three very important questions. Number one, have you ever dreamed of being a millionaire? Number two, have you ever wanted to be financially free? And most importantly, number three, have you ever envisioned yourself driving around a Lamborghini and lighting mattresses on fire?

Well, if you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you'll definitely want to keep watching because I have the perfect solution for you, and it's called the Financial Freedom Movement, brought to you by Jake Paul.

Okay, but in all seriousness, this recent brainchild business idea of Jake Paul has been drawing a lot of controversy lately. It's a program that allegedly teaches you how to live life on your terms, achieve your dream goals, and the juiciest part that all of us want to know: the secret to how to achieve financial freedom.

Now, normally, I would never cover anything related to Jake Paul because marketing to children is not my demographic. However, once I hear the term "financial freedom" mentioned, I'm in, and I'm gonna want to check this out from the perspective of someone else who has also seen financial freedom in their 20s.

See, back when I started on my financial freedom journey, I had to do things the old-fashioned way. Even though I never went to college, I had to get really creative. I had to work non-stop just to get myself ahead. I had to overcome a lot of obstacles and objections. I had to diligently track and save all my money. I had to learn the entire framework of real estate investing. I had to make a lot of mistakes and figure it out as I went along.

And after many, many years of doing that consistently, without taking a break, I was able to parlay that into now a successful career that's allowed me to become a multi-millionaire in my late 20s. But who knows? Maybe, just maybe, I would have been way further ahead if I had something as revolutionary as Jake Paul's Financial Freedom Movement when I first started, all for the low cost of just $19.99 a month.

So I think that is what we're gonna be doing today. I'm gonna buy Jake Paul's course and then review it from the perspective of another self-made millionaire. I'll give you my honest, unbiased thoughts. I'll tell you if this advice is actually legitimate or if it's a worthless sack, and then I will go and rate it on a scale of one to ten scams.

So with that said, if you appreciate all the work that goes into this video, if you wouldn't mind just hitting the like button for the YouTube algorithm, it helps out my channel and will make me feel better about spending like nine hours going through Jake Paul content. So with that said, here's the video.

Okay, so first things first, in order to get access to the program, I basically have to go and flush twenty dollars down the toilet, so I will be right back. Oh wait, I didn't realize it also gives me the option to waste my money online instead, so let me go ahead and enter my credit card information.

Dad, it's God. It's all God!

Okay, so objectively looking at this, my line of thinking is that this is a low enough price for people to sign up for without hesitation, but it's also a low enough amount where people might just forget about it and then not bother canceling. Not to mention, canceling a recurring charge like this is usually more hassle than it's worth. If someone forgets to cancel this for a few months in a row, well then basically, in a way, you just paid for a free tank of gas for Jake Paul in his Lamborghini.

So already, right off the bat, we're learning a lot about how to make money online. Like number one, we should all aim to create a recurring stream of revenue like this one, and number two, the best way to make money online is to talk about how to make money online.

Okay, I'm half joking here, but no, actually seriously, the best way to make money online is to talk about how to make money online! I'm dead serious.

Okay, so we bought the program, and immediately upon signing up, it asks you to enter your username and password, and then it takes us to the homepage where Jake Paul is front and center to greet us and share the entire blueprint of achieving financial freedom.

Wow. I don't want to waste any time; let's get right into this so I can start making some money.

So once you go to the course section, you have the option to learn from nine different millionaires, experts, and thought leaders. So we're gonna be starting off with the man of the hour, Jake Paul.

By the way, right off the bat, I'm a little thrown off; it's something like this only has three likes—wait—now four likes on it. You would think that with so many big people making videos about this program that there would be thousands of people joining it and watching it, right? Or maybe these four likes are just from the people who bought it solely to make a review like this on it.

But anyway, that doesn't matter. Let's give it a shot. Twenty minutes later...

Okay, so just finished the video, and so far, I have to say, you know, it's an inspirational come-up story of Jake Paul, and for the first 19 minutes, I thought it was kind of decent. But it did throw me off a little bit to hear this little snippet right here: "I think the biggest thing I want to point out is how much of this information that they have access to, you can't Google it. You don't talk about this stuff in here, you know, the road map is nowhere except for inside of this."

See, when it comes to selling information, coming from someone who sells information, I'll be the first to admit, there are not any secrets out there. Information is already all out there if you want to put in your time and do your own research. There's nothing stopping you from going and learning everything you need to know for free.

Just like there's nothing inherently wrong with going and charging for information; however, to say that the roadmap to financial freedom is nowhere but in this program that I just so happened to already pay for is a little bit disingenuous.

But after spending about an hour going through the entire first segment of this course featuring Jake Paul, I will admit there was some pretty decent information in there. It was a lot about the groundwork of not comparing yourself to others, being okay with failure, learning how to celebrate the small victories along the way, and learning about the importance of delegating and understanding the fact that as much as you want something to be perfect, it is never going to be absolutely perfect.

But then we should go on to our second expert millionaire, and that would be Dan Fleischman. Now, Dan is someone I've met several times through a few mutual friends, and Dan has hosted several events throughout Los Angeles that I have attended, so I can't say I'm entirely unfamiliar with his work.

However, I will say for influencers as large as Jake Paul, especially when PewDiePie goes and makes a video about this exact program, you would think that it would have more than six views on it, right? Like, let's put all the information and content aside, and let's look objectively at this. Like, this has been out for over a week, and some of the biggest names in the world have talked about it, and there are six views on this in a week.

So let's go and put this to the test. I'm gonna be watching this Snapchat video and then seeing if it counts my view because maybe the counter is just broken. Yes, and it didn't; it counted my view. Look right here, the next view.

Listen, I just think it's absurd how little traction this is getting and how few people are actually watching this given the large social media followings that all of these people have. See, it's a testament to their own program. I just think it lacks credibility from the perspective of how few people are actually going through it.

And even though I don't have anything against Dan Fleischman, it just seems to me like Dan and Jake just repackaged old content and threw it in here as a way to fill space and make money. Now, that is not to say that the information is bad, but I had the impression going into this that this content was unique to Jake Paul's program and I was gonna get something new.

But with Dan Fleischman, he literally says it in the beginning of the video: "Thank you for registering at learnpersonalbranding.com," with learnpersonalbranding.com at the top of the whiteboard. Like, there was literally no effort at all to try to hide the fact that this was recorded previously on his own and then just slapped together on Jake Paul's website for more exposure.

After all, if you go to the website learnpersonalbranding.com, you'll see that he charges four hundred and ninety-seven dollars for this information. Wow.

But here's the nail in the coffin: if you literally just go and type in "learn personal branding Dan Fleischman" in YouTube, you'll see the exact same video with the exact same links to his site posted on November 4th, 2008. Come on! I just think if you're gonna create a program, it should not just be repackaged content from a few years ago.

But hey, at least on the bright side, I just saved you four hundred and ninety-seven dollars because, thanks to Jake Paul, you could get access to the exact same thing for $19.99 a month. Plus, I still find it funny that I am literally the only view on some of these videos.

So next, we move on to Mark Lack, another personal branding expert. And when I click on the first segment to begin watching, I couldn't help but notice a click here to learn more about the missing marketing link from Mark Lack, and that takes you to some sort of scammy looking landing page for some get-rich-quick, I don't know what it is, where I can get a six-thousand-dollar package for the low price of only $97.

Seriously, does he think we're actually all that stupid to believe this is real? Like, you would actually sell a six-thousand-dollar program for $97? Come on! Like, no one sells their own program for a ninety-nine percent discount! No one!

Listen, I'll just tell you exactly what's going on: he went and picked an arbitrarily high number that makes you think you're getting a ton of value from this, and then he actually charges you what he thinks it's really worth. But my recommendation for Mark is that at least if you're gonna be doing this, pick a believable number. Like, don't just say it's worth six thousand dollars, and then because you're so committed and you join Jake Paul's program, I'll give it to you today for $97.

Anyway, going back to the course, I felt a bit special about being the first person to watch some of these videos to completion. And guess what? Yet again, this just seems like another rehashed course of pre-recorded material that was just thrown together on here for content.

And I find it funny too that his shirt says "hollowness" on it. And then it struck me as kind of odd that he went and said this: "And so the big platforms got people hanging out statistically—Facebook, Instagram, hollowness, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Here's something more popular... oh yeah, the biggest platforms out there statistically—we have Facebook, we have Instagram, hollowness, YouTube, LinkedIn, hollowness."

Yeah, I think we could say that's absolutely not the case! Especially if one of their biggest accounts on hollowness, The Chainsmokers, is only getting twelve likes on one of their pictures.

So yeah, right there, I knew something was up. And with a little digging, I found that Mark Lack is actually an operating partner at Hollowness. Like, it's one thing to talk about a new social media site that you're trying to grow and develop, and it's another thing to try to sandwich it in between Facebook and Instagram, Hollowness, and YouTube, and then try to bring a little credibility to get people to move over to it.

Oh, but wait, this just gets so much better! I kept going through Mark's videos, and I came across this course called "7 YouTube Must-Haves." In it, he throws in that it has almost 1.2 million views and then tens of thousands of likes just racking up. So I wanted to see for myself, like, does he actually have millions of views? Well, the answer is no!

The video that I just paid $19.99 a month to have access to is already on YouTube entirely for free and it has a whopping 165 views! Right? So the person who's supposed to teach me how to grow on social media only has a hundred and sixty-five views? And then he has to visually mislead us into thinking he has over a million views? Because otherwise, maybe we wouldn't trust him?

But I'm not sure if I'm more bothered by that or the fact that the video that I paid for is already on YouTube for free! Doesn't that just defeat the purpose of paying for it in the first place? Because if I remember correctly, he said this in the beginning of the course: "You can't Google it. You don't talk about this stuff in here. You know, the roadmap is nowhere except for inside of this."

So does that mean maybe he was lying to us? Wait a second! If he was lying to us about something like that, maybe he was also lying about the fact that his course was six thousand dollars!

And this is not just one video either. His other video on mindset is in Jake Paul's course, but it also happens to be the exact same video posted last week to his YouTube channel with a link to his free masterclass that just so happens to be conveniently starting in the next six minutes.

I just think that when you have to resort to these types of sales techniques just to get someone to buy it, then maybe I think it's just not that good. Not to mention, you would think that a personal branding expert would have some sort of growing social media presence online, right?

Well, when you go to his Instagram socialblade account, which keeps track of his Instagram follower counts, you'll see that he's actually losing an average of one hundred thirty-nine followers per day. Which makes me think, you know, maybe he's just buying fake Instagram followers just like his imaginary YouTube views counter.

So I guess you could say Mark Lack’s social media skills... get it? But keep in mind, at this point, we're only 1/3 of the way through, and already there are so many red flags. But let's keep going just to see if this gets any better, because honestly, like I went into this thinking like, hey, it's only twenty bucks, how bad could it be?

And then that brings us to Travis Lubinski. Again, he has another person who seems to out of nowhere just magically gain a whole bunch of Instagram followers only to have them slowly lost a few days later.

Oh, just so I could spell this out very clearly for anyone who's not picking up what I'm putting down, this is usually a telltale sign that someone is out there buying fake Instagram followers just to boost their social credibility and presence online.

Normally, I would never care if someone is out there buying fake Instagram followers just to boost their numbers, whatever. But if the self-proclaimed business expert is doing this, then that just makes me a little bit suspicious.

Okay, but I will say in Travis's own defense, he is the only person on here so far not to try to upsell you to a more expensive product, so at least there's that. And everything he said I agree with, albeit it's some pretty basic information.

So okay, Travis gets a pass from me, but then we got our fourth expert entrepreneur, who is none other than Adrian Morrison. And yet again, we got another giant upsell at the top of the page, which when you click on it, whoa, holy crap, the time just ran out to claim this discount! Wow!

It's almost a thousand dollars, but right now, if I'm lucky enough to get in, it's only thirty-seven dollars! Seriously? It's at this point that I could confidently say that this program is now the sketchiest thing that I have ever seen in my entire life!

It's almost like we're going down the rabbit hole of exactly how to be a sketchy being and use cheesy, high-pressure, mildly unethical sales tactics to make money. And with Adrian, he starts off by going into the details about how to start up a business in e-commerce and marketing.

And from a surface level standpoint, it does seem like he's actually giving out some decent information. However, I couldn't help but think that the entire program was just leading up to something.

I couldn't quite put my finger on it until... oh, oh wait! It's right here! "Special deal! Special sales! Nobody else gets more training! You wanna learn it from me because you feel like what you've already received is valuable! I promise you, if you click on it below, you're not gonna run it!"

Wait a second! This is just another sales pitch for yet another program, and even their Instagram mastery course has another upsell, which just so happens to then start in under four minutes, where inevitably there will be something else that they will want you to buy.

The other speakers are now just more of the same. Anthony Morrison, who is Adrian Morrison's brother, also just happens to be having a sale at the discounted price of only seven dollars a month, where he could teach you how he made his first million dollars.

Like, this has to be a joke, right? Or we have Billie Jean's information in here. Like, you would think like this has to be some new information, right? Like he has to have done this specifically for this course, right?

Well, if you think that, you would be wrong. At first, I couldn't put my finger on it, even though they made no effort whatsoever to change the titles from "Clicks 2.0" to "Jeev IDEO 3," as in Billie Jean's old program, which I'll put up right here.

Could it be that maybe Billie Jean just reuploaded his old program to Jake Paul's website? No, he couldn't, or did he? Because when I opened the course, I noticed that the date on there, just to the right of the computer screen, is from three years ago. So I think that it's reasonable that one logical person might conclude that this is just more reused content.

Or then we have Dimitri, and oh wait, nevermind, his content is coming soon. Or lastly, we have Cole Hatter who teaches you the basics of financial literacy.

And yet again, I can't help but feel like I am watching something that was pre-recorded a long time ago for something else and then just re-uploaded on here. But this is now the point where things took a slightly different turn from what I was expecting, and seriously, I did not go into it thinking about this, but now it just starts making sense.

Just listen to this: "Now let me just make this very clear, all of this is just in my imagination. This is just theory. This is just my thoughts." But I think maybe, perhaps, this course was not even Jake Paul's idea, and maybe, just maybe, Jake Paul was paid for his appearance in the course and for him endorsing it on Twitter.

And then these clever internet marketers are actually behind it all, masterminding this entire thing. See, here's the thing: I'm just thinking to myself, if Jake Paul put this together and this was his idea, why would he go and pick these specific eight people?

Like, why Billie Jean? Why Mark Lack? Why Dan Fleischman? That's not to say that any of those people are unqualified by any means, but there are a lot of people who are really good in this space and don't resort to using pre-recorded webinars to sell information.

So why use them, unless these internet marketers all knew each other in the first place, and then worked together to go and create this with Jake Paul as the face of the entire thing?

Like, let's go and take Dan Fleischmann's Instagram page for instance. He follows every single one of the business experts on Jake Paul's program. Now, on the surface, that might not seem like relevant information because after all, Dan Fleischman follows a lot of people on Instagram, and there's bound to be a bit of overlap there, unless of course they all knew each other well before this entire Jake Paul program.

Like, in June of 2019, Dan Fleischman and Cole Hatter hosted an event together called Thrive. Travis also just happened to have commented on that post as well. What about this event hosted in 2018 for Dan's birthday where Billie Jean also just happened to speak?

Oh, and wait! Who is that? Mark Lack? Cole Hatter? What are the chances that Jake Paul just happened to pick a close group of friends that have already worked together to use on his course? Like, the chances of Jake independently picking eight separate people who all have worked together extensively in the past is just astronomical!

Not to mention when you go and look up the domain "financialfreedommovement," you could see that it was registered in April of 2017, so this domain has been picked up and registered and held for three years before then Jake Paul picks it up today.

No, even though that's all speculation and I do not have any undeniable proof that one of those internet marketers is secretly behind the course, all I'm going to say is this: given Jake Paul's complete lack of involvement, given that the entire sole action of millionaire experts all knew and worked with each other years before this course went live, given that nearly the entire program is a reupload of repackaged and reused content, and given the extremely low level of user interaction on the site of which was actually registered years ago, I would just venture to guess that Jake Paul was probably paid an undisclosed amount of money to put his face on the website, and instead, the entire program is owned and operated by one of these eight people we see here.

Now, I'm not gonna point fingers at anyone specifically because again, this is just theory, but from the looks of it, I don't think that this was Jake Paul's idea, and I highly doubt that he was really the one behind it all! He really only mentioned this from a single tweet, and then of course social media influencers did their thing to bash on it as soon as it started to gain some traction.

And again, I don't have any proof of this, it's just my theory, but coming from someone who understands these tactics, and I get what these people are doing, it just seems as though to me that it's most likely the case.

So after spending the entire day on this monstrosity of a program, here are my thoughts: if I were looking at this completely objectively from a cost standpoint, then I would say for twenty bucks, you know, there's some decent information in there.

However, the sheer amount of upsells in this program is absolutely atrocious, and that just makes me feel really disgusting about even going through it on my computer. And maybe I'm just thinking way too highly of Jake Paul, but I can't ever imagine a reality where he is the one who is doing all of this—who's putting this all together—and this is all his.

Although I do openly think no matter how you spin this, the website was so poorly done and the whole concept was so poorly executed that it's just not a good look for Jake Paul.

But thankfully, not all hope is lost because even though I spent twenty dollars on this program, I did end up getting my money's worth, and this is what I learned:

One, if you want to make people think you're more important than you actually are, then you should buy a whole bunch of fake Instagram followers.

Oh sure, people like me will know that all of those numbers are fake and it's just smoke and mirrors, but that doesn't matter because people like me are not the ones buying your program, and the people who actually go and buy it are gonna have no idea.

Two, I learned that you always need to have an upsell; once you get someone's small investment upfront, you're gonna be more likely to then go and get more money from them afterwards because now you've already got them hooked in.

Three, you know what people love more than getting a discount? It's getting a ninety-nine percent discount! So go ahead and mark up the price as high as you possibly can just so that you can later mark the price down to pennies on the dollar.

And for the best way to make money online is to talk about how to make money online! Seriously, that niche is never going away, so get in while the going is good.

But like I said, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with going and selling information. After all, I sell my own program down below in the description that I just happen to mark down from forty-seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-five dollars all the way to the low price of two hundred and ninety-seven dollars for the first two people that sign up within the next thirty seconds.

But instead, it's really just the way they go about selling this information that just rubs me the wrong way. At least just be upfront about what to expect and then make sure to deliver on that, but this course, for me, unfortunately, it didn't either, and I walk away from it with the strong suspicion that someone else is really just masterminding all of this and Jake Paul was only just brought in to bring more credibility and awareness to it.

And now I'm off to cancel my membership because I don't want to flush any more money down the toilet.
