Quick shot review of the GoogleWorksToday sales process
What is a quick shot review? Quick shot reviews of sales letters for products like GoogleWorksToday are designed to teach you how to analyze sales messages more critically.
GoogleWorksToday sales process analysis:
GoogleWorksToday claims that you can make $200 to $907 per day working from with Google. And also claims that anyone with a computer and basic typing skills can make money with Google.
The first thing to understand is that you will not be working FOR Google. Also, it takes MUCH more than basic computer and basic typing skills to really make money using the Google search engine and advertising platform. You need decent analytical skills and fair amount of risk tolerance just to name a few other attributes generally found in successful entrepreneurs.
GoogleWorksToday “As Seen and Trusted on ABC, CNBC, and CNN”
The GoogleWorksToday.com uses the statement “As Seen and Trusted on ABC, CNBC and CNN” which implies that that GoogleWorksToday gained special trust by being on these stations or those stations websites.
At the same time the GoogleWorksToday.com site states at the bottom of the first page:
“Fox News, ABC, CNBC, Google, and CNN do not endorse this product.”
And even if the product from GoogleWorksToday.com WAS seen on those stations, how do they know it was “trusted”?
Note: GoogleWorksToday also references the product as Google Fortune on the first page and GoogleWorks on the second page.
Second page of the GoogleWorksToday sales process:
On the second page of the GoogleWorksToday sales process I noticed a giant arrow pointing to the order section that states “Get Your Kit Today and Start Making Money!” And at the top of the order section are the words “Only pay a $1.97 processing fee.”
ALWAYS scroll to the bottom of a page in a sales process!
Two things you should ALWAYS do when going through a sales process for products like GoogleWorksToday are:
- Scroll to the bottom of the pages of the sales process
- Find and READ the Terms and Conditions
You are looking for any monthly charges along with cancelation and refund instructions
I scrolled down past the arrow and found the following information:
“You will have 7 days from the date of order to evaluate our product. If you decide you are happy with the product do nothing. For your 7 day trial you will only receive a one-time charge of $1.97, and if you decide to continue with the membership after your trial – you will only be billed $69.97 per month. There are no obligations and no strings attached. You can cancel anytime via our customer support line at 877-402-2666.”
Whether or not most people would scroll down past the big arrow isn’t something I can’t comment on. There IS a part of the “100% Satisfaction RISK FREE GUARANTEE” statement showing, so that could possibly draw the eyes down to the monthly terms.
Personally, I prefer to see the future monthly charges right on the order form – preferably at the top.
I’ll be blunt about GoogleWorksToday – a.k.a Google Fortune
GoogleWorksToday uses a type of sales process I don’t like. Keep in mind that this is just MY personal opinion. I just prefer monthly charge information to be DIRECTLY ON the order form.
Feel free to comment about your experience with GoogleWorksToday – a.k.a Google Fortune found at the GoogleWorksToday.com website.

Absolutely a non-trusted site for me. I engaged in a live “chat” asking if there were any additional charges beyond the $0.99 shipping charge for the “free trail kit”. Never received a direct answer! They would not answer “yes” or “no” even though I challenged their lack of response and told them they were just selecting pre-done . The person named “Jenny” said she (he?) had “limited knowledge” about the product and advised me to call a toll-free number 1-877-402-2666. Upon calling the number, someone told me the company is “Fun Web Profits” in which you sign up for their program to “sell” products on the internet. The program is free for 7 days, but on day 8 you are charged $69.97 every month to remain on their program. So, it is also in my opinion very deceptive advertising and if a company needs to be this “creative” in their advertising, I’m not interested in doing business with them either.
did you give your credit card details as i did then they said the offer was not viable in my area?
did you give your credit card details as i did then they said the offer was not viable in my area?then my card details went away!
It is just a marketing company legally getting rich off your dream of a better life. They have nothing to do with google in any way…
This company is just another HUSTLE to TRICK honest people out of their money. The one who gets rich is them, not you… Do not buy into this legal scam.

I’m glad I read this thread. I went on google and did not find any information regarding this product. I’m curious to how they have been able to use such a credible company to pursue this scam.
do not use this service. It is a scam.
This such a scam, although sort of wise for using “known” names such as “ABC, CNBC, and CNN.”
I visited the sight out of curiosity and read the “Terms and Condition.” And wow, from less than a dollar shipping fee up to about $70 charge monthly fee…? And Trial is only 7 days as off you get in, and how long do they think you’ll get the kit? Very interesting I say.
I’ve had enough of it and tried to get out, and similar to desperate spammers they would have “live virtual agent.” So I tested this “live virtual agent” named “Rachel” and she failed my test. Auto respond didn’t quite made it.

Jenny Says: Our site is guaranteed secure and confidential.
You: I’m talking about the num. you gave me! What do i do with it?
LOL. “The National Security Hotline”.
i got screwed last night, seen the add for $1.95 (ps im in the uk) as many have said it looked good until you read the terms and conditions, so i logged into a site called serchn4profits that (after paying the $1.95) they sent me my registration to this site , i logged on to canx account but canx form wont go through keep getting error messages.
anyway i rang my bank this morn and hey not only did they take the 1.95 but have also taken a £43.43 payment paid to a company called “grants are us” also a payment of £15.75 to a company called “auctions support”.
my bank said its likely that i will have to foot those payment which has pissed me off big time, this is supposed to be a free 7day canx site, but it looks as if they take your money first which i didnt sign up for. what happens next i dont know, i have my brother in the usa to try phoning them to see if he can get my money back, but i dont hold out any hope.
i hope this helps you, will keep you up to date if i hear anything,
Call the customer service and cancel your account. They took a monthly charge of 69 dollars without me doing nothing. I dont even use their account and registry code they provided. It’s a scam
Rachel Says: HEY WAIT! I have just been authorized to give you a CHAT ONLY DISCOUNT! CLICK HERE now to get $0.99 shipping!

Anyway, heres the “Live Chat” I had with Rachel when I tried to leave the website:

I think Rachel had had enough of me
Poor Rachel…nobody believes in her.
Rachel is a very nice lady that offered me a very much appreciated discount. She’s probably a single mom with kids that never went to college, that has to work odd hours for a google “endorsed” scam product company to keep lights on in her house and food on her table.
Personally, I’d be ashamed if she was real, who are we to know? do any of us work with her or that company to know whether she is AI or live?
And since you have all obviously worked for a call-center or live chat solution, then you all know that you have parameters within which you must remain in the conversations you have with customers, potential or current.

Any of the programs mentioned, are not scams.

We apologize for any inconvenience with customer service that you may have received.
We’re very sorry if you may have experienced irregular hold times and may not have received the level of support that you needed at the time of your call. Sometimes the Customer Support and Resolution Center will get overloaded with calls for service questions and coaching but online support is always available for your convenience. We ask that you please be patient with your call and if you require immediate assistance or simply wish to cancel, you can always submit your concern via the contact form on the websites customer support page. All concerns submitted online are logged and handled in a timely manner for your satisfaction.
All required product offer information can always be found clearly presented before you enter any methods of payment for the product or service that you are ordering. This provides access to all the terms and disclosures, as well as the customer service information for both the product you are ordering and any companion program(s) that may accompany it.
For your convenience, the program you signed up with sends an order confirmation or welcome email when you place an order. The email you receive provides complete details for your account, such as steps, websites, username/passwords, and billing information. Upon request, the welcome email message can always be re-sent.
When you place an order for a risk-free trial with the service, you receive a free trial period to the membership websites. You will always receive the order confirmation and or welcome emails the day you submit your order. If you submit an order and you have not received any email messages in a timely fashion, then you should contact customer support immediately.
When you’re in the process of signing up online, the Terms and Conditions for the offer can always be found on the website page where you are placing your order. This is a strict requirement by all payment processors, and all companies do try their best to have terms presented clearly for the consumer to read. There are also clickable links to the full Terms & Conditions which can always be found on every website page where you place an order.
It’s very wise to take your time when surfing online and signing up for offers. You can avoid a lot of frustration when ordering products or services online if you slow down the process of finalizing your order submit. You can become a safer and more responsible consumer by always taking a moment to read the full terms of an offer. At least read the part or sections pertaining to any dollar amounts ($) that are scheduled to be charged towards your account.
After you review the terms and conditions you should make an educated decision as to whether or not you should continue with the offer. Your educated decision should be based upon how important the product is for you to have, how much the product will cost, how comfortable you are with making a payment to cover the costs of this important product that you must have – which may require monthly payments, and whether or not you’re fully capable of affording the total cost in the long run. Depending on how much money you have available, without making an educated decision after reviewing the terms, you could end up leaving yourself without enough money for other obligations and needs that you may have.
If you are quickly submitting an order online without fully knowing the most important aspects of the offer, such as dollar amounts and schedule of payments – then you are essentially not caring to read and be knowledgeable to the full extent of the charges & the agreement that you just entered into and have fully authorized with your electronic signature.
The trial period or risk-free period gives you the opportunity to try the service and see the real value of it before you are ever billed for a full service fee. During your trial period, if you’re not interested in continuing with your membership to the service, you can simply call to cancel or easily submit your cancellation online. When cancelling during your trial period, you will avoid being charged any full service fees that may be required for the continuation of your membership.
When you cancel your account, you should receive a cancellation confirmation code. If you don’t, you should always make sure to request for a confirmation code for your records. At the time your cancellation is submitted, you will also receive a detailed cancellation confirmation email delivered to your email address on file. Once you submitted your cancellation, your account is immediately removed from the system. The programs Customer Support toll-free numbers are found in several places and the hours of operation are from 9am to 8pm EST, every business day, Monday thru Friday.
When contacting the customer service department, we’re only capable of addressing concerns for this product alone, because we do not have access to any other companies databases and nor are we capable of providing support for other companies.
As a courtesy, customers receive a recurring billing email message that alerts you to the next scheduled billing and if you choose to cancel before getting billed – the information is readily available for you to do so. For customers who believe they were billed even after they canceled and received their confirmation code. That is not true, because if you cancel your account before the next scheduled billing date, then your account is guaranteed to be canceled, and will no longer be billed. So it is not possible for a customer to be billed again once their account is canceled.
Sometimes a customer may experience a charge on their account after they canceled because the scheduled billing date was most likely the same day or the day before they submitted their cancellation. The transaction may not have been completed 100% by the time they reviewed their bank account and called to cancel, because sometimes a credit card transaction may take up to a maximum of 2-3 days to complete. So the customers billing most likely had already ran the day before they canceled their account, and the very next day after that – the transaction completed. So now the customer thinks they were wrongfully billed, which is not the case. Please understand that there are Negative Consumer databases that are slowly building every day with more and more people who are flagged as negative consumers (ones that do not resolve concerns with customer service, or do not accept company policies and perform chargeback’s). You do not want yourself to be placed on a database like this, as it could potentially damage your reputation and possibly your credit or “purchasing power”, in which you will be identified as a customer that company’s do not want to do business with.
When a consumer signs up for a product online and is unsatisfied with the service received. There are a few steps that should always be followed before ever making an attempt to contact a bank or credit card company and having a charge reversed.
Here is an important checklist that all smart and responsible consumers should follow:
1. Place a telephone call to the merchant’s customer service line. If you can’t find one, you can always try GetHuman.com or seek out additional forms of support such as a company like CSRegister.com, which may be help you resolve concerns that you may have with a company.
2. Visit the company’s website and use the online forms of contact that are made available, whether that’s a customer support contact form, a live agent, or simply an Email address listed which you can send a message to. 3. Be prompt. Make the initial call or email immediately. Follow up on any requests from customer service.
4. Once contact has been made with customer service, make sure you find out the company’s cancellation policy and refund policy. If you’re seeking a refund, make sure you confirm your eligibility as you may not be eligible for a refund if a certain amount of time has elapsed since your product was ordered.
5. If you have made contact with customer service and you are canceling an account, make sure to have the agent confirm your request with a cancellation confirmation code. If you make claim and request for a refund, and a refund is available, make sure you get specific dates and times of when a refund is to be expected. Typically companies will have a 7-14 day maximum refund expectancy, which is normal. If a refund is extremely important for you to have immediately and you feel that you are owed the refund ASAP for an inconvenience received, make sure to express this and seek for a manager’s help in expediting a refund.
6. Keep copies of all emails and confirmations.
7. Get the name and contact information of your customer service representative, in case you may need to contact them again.
8. If necessary, ask to speak to the person’s immediate supervisor for further assistance.
9. Above all, don’t lose your cool! Keep calm and sincerely work toward an equitable resolution.
If you are a customer that is reading this and you have already tried customer service, but feel that we have failed you in some way or you feel you weren’t treated fairly, please email crc@csregister.com for instant customer support, we will be happy to address your concerns ASAP.
Sincerely,
One thing I always do as well is save screenshots of the entire order process and make a video of it, which would be a smart thing for consumers to do as well, although probably not very practical.
That way a company can’t claim that an order process was a certain way, when in fact they have changed it after receiving complaints.
I was able to provide documentation to the FTC in one of the recent Operation ShortChange cases where a company tried to do that. They were pulling off fake testimonials, but as usual I had saved them.
The funny thing is that company sent me a cease and desist which always encourages me to work with law enforcement much more quickly and provide them with all the documentation I’ve collected.
Hey Steve……STFU
It is a scam you dummy, if it wasn’t everyone would be rich right now, including me. 5000 dollars a month posting link? Get the F out. pitch the only pay 1.99 and then font size -6 the monthly payment. hmmmm what do you have to hide?
Fast Blog Income is a COMPLETE SCAM structured in a semi-legal way to limit possible legal recourse action by the unsuspecting interested party. The representative’s message below confirms this. The apparent time-locked website, stalled customer service (have not been successful twice for two hours each), the fine print that makes it clear that you will be charged recurrently every monthl and the inability to communicate via email (which provides sure-fire documentation) all demonstrate a scheme to simply (and through legal loopholes) swindle you of your money through a get-rich HOOK. I abhor illegimitate businesses that rely on these kinds of ‘creative’ schemes to profit. I will lobby to get federal regulation to crack down on these people who continue set-up shop under legitimate guises. Bernie Maddoff was their king.
