Click Intensity Review
Product Name: Click Intensity
Product Owners: Nick Johnson, Tara Mish
Advertised Price: $25 – $100,000
Rating: SCAM!
What Is It?
Click Intensity is a network marketing company, that could also be classified as a pyramid scheme or Ponzi. The idea is that you purchase ad packs (silver packs) for $25, and they eventually pay $30 per ad pack purchased.
Are You Ready To Work Your Ass Off to Earn Your Lifestyle?
Are you tired of the daily grind? With a laptop and an internet connection I built a small website to generate income, and my life completely changed. Let me show you exactly how I’ve been doing it for more than 13 years.
Short Review
How you make money with this company is that the packs you buy are supposed to eventually pay, but even the owners do not know when you will be paid. They even say it in videos you’ll see embedded in my review of Click Intensity here.
Though the product that you’ll supposedly be marketing is “advertising” and clicks, the real appeal of joining this company is to recruit new members. You get paid 10% commission on all Level 1 recruits.
Click Intensity is an outright scam, and there are many red flags I will discuss in my review.
Before You Buy
Many of you looking into business opportunities have had bad experiences with MLMs and network marketing companies before. The main idea behind this type of business model is that there are two ways to make money.
1) Sell a product
2) Recruit new members
What is the product? “Ad packs”
In their Concept Presentation PDF, they briefly discuss the rise of online advertising. However, they never actually tell us how we are supposed to sell advertising packages to these companies, or how selling ad packs actually makes us money.
This is the first red flag with Click Intensity. They gloss over the product sales part of the opportunity, and quickly move into the recruitment details, and how you can “spend money to make money”.
Compensation Plan
- level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 10%
- level 2 – 1%
- levels 3 to 6 – 0.5%
- level 7 – 2%
There are seven levels of recruitment. You must spend a certain amount of money to be eligible for each level though. For the most basic level, you only need to spend $25.
But in order to receive credits for the multi-level tiers, you’ll need to spend up to $100,000 (Level 7). They really push the “spend money to make money” aspect, which is another red flag worth noting.
In the screenshot above, Tara Mish is talking about how by Level 5 of recruitment you’ll have 53 billion people on your team. Ummm, there’s not even that many people in the world, let alone people that would invest money into Click Intensity.
Clearly, we are dealing with a pyramid scheme at this point.
What I Liked
Click Intensity hasn’t launched, and there’s already a lot of buzz about it. I’ve received several spam emails and seen it posted on Facebook a bunch of times.
If you are the type of person that enjoys hopping from opportunity to opportunity and doesn’t mind taking advantage of your “team” by selling them stuff from a company destined to fail, then this could be a good way to make money.
If you currently have an email list and have no problem sending junk offers so that you can earn a few bucks, you might be able to take advantage of the buzz around this company.
Note: Before spending money, do your due diligence. Their YouTube Channel has lots of videos worth investigating so you can make your own decision.
What I Didn’t Like
Core Commitment #2: Buy silver packs daily
Already in training video #2, they are asking you to buy something every day until you have purchased 4,000 silver packs! $25 per pack X 4,000 packs = $100,000.
Keep in mind, they say in the Concept Presentation PDF as well as in their training videos that they do not know when the packs will payout. Are you ready to commit $100,000?!
Remember, according to Tara Mish, this is 100% required to be successful!
This pressure to spend a lot of money is one big reason to not sign up with Click Intensity. Think about what they are telling you:
“You are guaranteed to make money but we don’t know when we can pay you”
If you still can’t see this as a scam, then let’s continue!
Video Proof: They Don’t Know When Ad Packs Mature!
Get In On The Ground Floor Mentality
Maybe this is just something I find annoying, but they really play up the idea that you’re “getting in on the ground floor”. This is a phrase we hear over and over again in the network marketing scam industry. Please just show me the facts and stop trying to pretend you’re the next Facebook or Google.
Actions speak louder than words, but in the presentations I saw, it was just a lot of hype and motivational hot air.
Low-Quality Production
If this is such an awesome opportunity, why is the production quality so low? There are moving chairs in the background and phones going off. Everything is off the cuff, and there are no video edits. At one point, Tara takes about 30 seconds to turn off the camera and is talking to someone in the background.
Come on, they can’t even clip the end of the video to remove that garbage?
It’s clear to me that the training videos were produced by one or two people, without any kind of “team” as claimed. Wouldn’t you think that such a successful company would do the bare minimum to make a decent presentation for recruiting members?
Even if you don’t mind the low-quality production, remember, part of your earnings depends on convincing people to join the company. How is this going to reflect on you as a team leader?
Destined To Fizzle
The reason that Click Intensity doesn’t know when they can pay you is because they are dependent on revenue from new members to pay the old members. This is the definition of a Ponzi Scheme.
In fact, all Ponzi’s eventually fail. There is a finite number of people in the world and an even more limited number of people interested in scammy business opportunities. Once new members stop signing up, revenue stop flowing in.
Old members stop getting paid. New members never get paid. Either the FTC gets involved, or the company just fades away.
Do you want to build a real online business that earns revenue for years to come, or join up with a short-lived scam and maybe earn a few bucks? Even I could make money from this business, I would not want to, because I know that the people I recruit would lose money.
No Training On Building A Business
One last point to hit home. Even if you don’t believe me that Click Intensity is a scam, at the very least you can see it’s not worth your time or money.
They provide no training whatsoever on how to grow your team. Everyone knows how to post links to Facebook or send emails to friends. But what happens beyond that?
- How do you build an online brand?
- How do you grow your business with a website?
- How do you leverage social media outside your circle of friends?
- How do you recruit and sell beyond family or friends?
There’s simply no training other than a little bit of motivation and encouragement. If you have a large circle of influence, an email list, or experience in network marketing, then maybe you could make some money here. If you are just starting out and have no idea how to start or grow an online business, then Click Intensity is not the company to teach you how to do it.
What Now?
Rather than invest your time and money into learning how to recruit your family and friends into a business opportunity, I recommend building a website that actually sells legitimate products.
The world of online business has many potential, legitimate opportunities to sell things online.
You can build a small website about any topic that interests you, and promote products from other companies for a commission. These are REAL products, not “ad packs” or “make money systems”.
You can start a fitness website and promote Vitamix. You can start a computer website and promote laptops. How about a video game website, or one about essential oils? Anything is possible. I have a website about making beer at home!
Learn how legitimate online marketing works, and how you can start your first website on any topic, promoting products you truly believe in. Build a business that lasts for years!

This is not a company I would join or promote. I think it will be a short-lived pop in the world of network marketing.

Hi Nathaniell,
First of all, thanks for your fabulous review on click intensity scam.
Its so hilarious that company claim that people will get paid, but when they also don’t know ?
Anyways,adding video clips to your reviews is a fantastic idea. Its very appealing, coz readers themselves can see what company has to offer.
Well done and keep it up !!
Nathaniell
Absolutely! I always try to include a few different bits of media on the post so that people can see “proof” of what I’m talking about. Reading what I say is one thing, but seeing it LIVE or having pictures with arrows and circles to show what I”m talking about changes the story! Now you can see what I’m talking about and why I’ve got the opinion that I do about this company.

Hello! I am glad that websites like yours exist to inform people about the truth and reveal scams like this one. I cannot get why someone would buy anything from this program, especially when they mention that they don’t know when they can pay you!
Let me ask you, how much time did your online business took to start paying you?
Thanks!
Nathaniell
I think the fact that they don’t know when they can pay you will set off a red flag for many people. Perhaps it’s a mistake that they said that and they’re just realizing it!
It was just one of those things I picked up on that made it obvious proof that Click Intensity was a sketchy program and idea to begin with!
As for my first business, it took me a while to get traffic to my site, and eventually make sales. But most online affiliate company pay within 30 – 60 days. So the sales I make for March will be paid in April. There’s usually a 30 day delay due to refunds, chargebacks, and other issues that may pop up. But they all have a defined set of time, and pay on time! I’ve never heard, “We’ll see how much money our company generates then decide when to pay you.” lol

I’m glad I came across this post, it was really well displayed as well as the media you added as well.
I’m glad I read this before I spent any of my money on things that only cause loss of money.
I was wandering what you might recommend for making money online in 2016.
Nathaniell
The best way to make money in 2016 is the same way to make money in any other year – provide something of VALUE to people. That can be a service like reviewing products (what I do), or a product that you create yourself (even if it’s just an ebook or video series). If you don’t add any value to people’s lives, they aren’t going to pay you for anything!
This is why I personally like affiliate marketing and building websites. It allows me to add value to someone’s life by writing content, and I can do it directly from home. The best part is that I was able to learn via a step by step training program that taught me how to set up the site, what to write on the site, and how to make money from the content.
I’m still a member in 2016, and still have that training center as my top recommendation for newbies trying to start earning income via the internet!

Hi Nathaniell first of all I love the name of your site despite the fact that I hate coffee! I love the idea of it though – the relaxed attitude that you can have by working at home. The page is brilliant – anyone who highlights scams has to be a genius in my book so thank you from me (and hundreds more potential scam victims) you’re doing a great job.
Nathaniell
Thanks for the compliments on my website Pauline! Highlighting scam is just one thing that I do here on One More Cup of Coffee, and I also write a lot about different ways to make money, as well as teach people how to build their first website.
But when I see programs like this try to take advantage of newbies that just want to earn money online, it makes me mad! I haven’t quite figured out if the owners know they are scamming people and just don’t care or are too naive to figure out that this is an unsustainable business. Curious what you think!

Making money online is very challenging that there are so many scams, and very little any one can do with they. Though they rip off a lot of money from People eager to start new business work hard
you prescribe your experiences and suggestions so meaning full one can sure benefited with it.
Thanks
Nathaniell
The fact that making money online is challenging is one of the reasons that these “easy” systems sound so appealing. I mean, who wouldn’t want a system that guarantees profit and only requires that you tell other people about it? Even I admit that I wish making money was so simple!
But if it sounds too good to be true….well, you know the rest.
Glad to hear you did your research before joining!
