Short Review:
Most of your money is going to be made bringing people into the IPDN program, not by actually by trying these products so I would classify this as an MLM pyramid scheme.

Before You Buy:
I'll admit that the introduction video seems honest and the presenter seems likeable. In a very down-to-earth presentation style, Jeff Buchanan explains that this program is free. What he fails to clearly tell you is that most of your money will not be made by testing products, but by referring people to this ‘business opportunity'. This is the first red flag that this program is not exactly as advertised.
Hold up. Do you want to see exactly how I make money online? Here's how I build my affiliate sites that earn over $10,000 USD per month.
PS. If this is all too new to you, here's an FAQ on making money with affiliate marketing.
Because this program and its creator are also mixed up with the Empower Network pyramid scheme, as well as provided a misleading presentation of what you will be doing to make money, I intended to give it a zero. However, Jeff is a likable presenter so I boosted it to 20. It wasn't the worst presentation I've seen.
What I Liked:
As I said before, the video is very honest and he even mentions the fact that you will not be a ‘success' overnight. There were not a lot of BS hyped promotions, and there were no upsells. I was actually able to access the program for free. I think this could be a potential way to make some money online even though it's not really a sustainable business model. If you DO do this, I would not do it through Instant Payday Network, but find the sources yourself.
What I Didn't Like:
Most importantly I didn't like the fact that this is actually just a secret promotion for Empower Network. If you haven't heard of this program, it's currently the 2nd lowest rated program on my site despite its immense popularity. The lowest rated program is called the Prosperity Formula, but the review will not be posted until tomorrow.

Within two days after signing up I had received over 10 emails from Jeff Buchanan and his MLM cronies promoting other systems. There is a saying in the business, ‘You need to love your list.' The idea behind is that if you treat people on your 'email list' well, they will turn into valuable customers for your business. This was not ‘love', it was email rape. It's a good thing I didn't use my real email address.
After digging around, I got quite lost in a few different cross promotions from Jeff and his buddies. I cannot recommend any product related to him.
* Also note that there are many fake reviews posted on YouTube. Notice how no one really tells you what the product is or what you are getting into. They say stuff like “click the link below to find out”. This is either because they do not understand what they are promoting or have not tried the program long enough to explain it very well or give any real world examples of how they made money.
10 promotional emails from July 8th in the evening to July 10th in the morning. WOW.
[Update] Another thing I really dislike is the swarms of promoters that troll my blog trying to prove me wrong. This product is junk in my opinion, and is certainly not worth anyone's time or effort (or money if you count the back-end upsells).
Who Is This Product For:
Getting paid to try products and services is something you could do as a hobby or for a few extra dollars on the site. Not all programs pay, and most don't pay very well. This is not a way to make ‘good money' on the internet. Even if you decide that you would like to do something like this, the Instant Payday Network is not something you want to get involved in.
[Update] There was some confusion in the comments about what IPDN actually has you do, but I've double checked. “Trying products” is vague, so I don't mean that these fortune 500 companies will be sending you cool little gadgets to test out. Whatever they have you doing will be 100% online. Also, I only mean that this is what they tell you you will be doing. Most of the money in this program is made by reselling the ‘opportunity' as I mentioned above.
Instant Payday Network is a shady product. They're sales page is over hyped, and they do not deliver high quality content. What's worse is that they make you jump through hoops and get you involved with email marketing lists that try to promote even MORE products to you. Avoid companies like this.
I really don't want to ruin an unbiased review by recommending a service, but I would be doing you a disservice if I didn't tell you how I started my business. It's a training center, NOT a get rich quick scheme, and NOT a simple PDF guide or series of videos. It's a community of REAL people just like you, and it's currently ranked #1 of all my reviews.
Final Review
After reviewing more than 500 "make money" products and running my own successful affiliate websites for almost ten years, I'm really sick of buying stuff that doesn't work. Aren't you?
Wanna see how I make money? It's not fast. It's not easy. But it freakin' works.
Here's how I do it. I've been running my affiliate websites for a decade based on this exact system. Can you say the same?! If you are not making money online yet, or aren't making enough, you gotta check it out.
Still Selling Junk To Your Friends?
What is this - the 1950's selling Tupperware? Gimme a break. It's 2020. If you want to build a business, you NEED to be online or your business will be dead in less than 10 years.
You can start an affiliate website T O D A Y and promote any products you want from any company, so why are you selling such a limited range of stuff? Amazon. Walmart. Apple. Digital products. Subscription services. Groceries. There's a LOT to choose from.
Last year I generated multiple six figures with my affiliate sites, and I can show you how to make them using the same templates. You get to promte whatever you want of course, and YOU keep all the profits (no upline!).

What's up ladies and dudes! Great to finally meet you, and I hope you enjoyed this post. I have to be honest with you. MLM sucks. I've tried it. The fees. The recruiting. The parties. The cold calling. Bleh.
Affiliate marketing is cheaper, faster, and easier for someone with no experience creating a business. See for yourself and join millions of other successful affiliate generating income from their websites!
No inventory. No fees. No recruiting. 3 BILLION potential customers online.
I guess i dont understand what is shady about the program. Everything mentioned in the videos is true there are no hidden costs or upsells that you have to buy in order to make the system work and actually work,there are no monthly fees.. So I guess to me it about as honest and forth coming as you can get online from my experience. You sign up for 1 or 2 trail offers 1 time and get a lifetime membership that gives you a complete system that you can market and make money with.
There are SOOOOO many hidden costs! When you sign up for ‘trials’ some come with a time limit and you have to cancel before the trial ends. If you forget, then you have to pay money.
Hey Nathaniell, i just wanted to say that i love WA because you get something that you don’t get from these scams such as IPDN, you learn actual skills such as marketing and learning to write creative content and build traffic. That right their is worth any price and $47 a month is a steal, its like going to business school for that price.
I decided to try IPDN because a friend of mine sent me an e-mail and described it like a miracle. However, i was already a member of WA and have done most of the training Kyle offers, so as you can imagine i already knew it was a scam just from wording and explanation in the intro video. Despite this i keep on going just to find out about all this hype and immediately i encountered the first problem.
Most of these so called “free trials” aren’t actually free. If you actually read the description about 95% of them require you to actually subscribe or buy something to get the credit, and the other 5% do not have enough credit for you to reach the requirement. As advertise in the video by Jeff you could cancel the trial subscription before they charge you right? Wrong! In my experience these companies make it impossible for you to cancel the trial, sometimes you even have to call them and as soon as you tell them what you called for they make you wait on hold forever or put some sort of obstacle in you’re way.
Now I’ve seen some hate towards people who actually say the truth about this scam, as you do in this article, and i always hear the same things, it is a legit business because it works with fortune 500 companies. And to those people i will always impose the same question, do you think that just because they are fortune 500 companies they wont scant you? Heck half of these companies never actually provide what they advertise there is always a catch. I told my friend to stay away from it and i advise everyone to do the same.
Thank you for your honest comment and for sharing your experiences with us Ariel! You are right that although WA’s premium membership is not free (their starter membership is free), the price you pay for excellent education is really good. Best of all, they are up front about what it costs and what you will be doing to earn money.
Personally, I think most of the “hate” from IPDN people is the folks that are promoting it, and trying to protect their brand. You don’t see me trolling around for negative WA reviews do you? Because I’m not really that bothered what other people say about it, as long as I enjoy my membership and learning what they teach.
Catch you later!
