What Is It?
This is a pretty old product, teaching a secret system to make easy money. LOL. It's worth buying just based on the advertising claims alone.
Short Review
Launched in 2011, this product is old news, but somehow it's still being promoted. Its unbelievable claims of making easy money through a Google hack are utterly ridiculous.

The Breakdown
Usually I divide reviews into two sections of what I liked and what I didn't like. I didn't buy this one, so we'll just cover what's been said in the sales pitch.
It's Easy!
There's a reason that people go to school – to make money. If making money was easy, everyone would have it. This is nothing but a lie that you don't have to have any skills to make money online. This is how people get roped into scams like post links to Facebook, or MLM – because it sounds easy.
That's not to say you can't learn those skills, but you are not going to be able to make money on the internet just based on your current skill set.
Just by looking at this list, it's very likely that these guys will just have you promoting links to sell Google Cash Monster. It's a common system that's promoted. Since all you have to do is promote this company or Clickbank products it sounds easy, but without proper training, your first business is going to fall flat on its face.
It's Fast!
Another stereotype of online business is that somehow, making money is easier on the internet. When have you ever heard of fast money being legit? People get online, and suddenly a get-rich-quick scheme starts to see like the real deal!
It's not. This is just the same old tactic. Try to put yourself in a real life situation. If a stranger told you that you could hack into Bank of America and legally transfer 100k to your bank account would you believe them? Nope. So why would it be possible to hack Google and bring your site to the first page?
You're Special!
This is another marketing tactic that's harder to spot for newbies. To create a false sense of limited availability, and make you feel like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, they use phrases like the ones below.
The fact is, this was a very heavily promoted product, available to ANYONE online. There were probably hundreds of thousands of emails sent out by internet marketers trying to get you to buy this. Sorry guys, 3 years later (now 2014), it still says that this is a limited opportunity.
Final Review
The product name might be unique, but all of the sales tactics are the same. They prey upon your emotion to try to get you to make impulse buys. 90% of what's sold out there uses similar methods.
What Now?
Online business isn't easy for newbies, but it's possible to learn. I started out in 2010 and took about a year to build my first successful website.
Stop looking at this as a way to earn fast cash, and start seeing it as an opportunity to build a real business to support yourself in the future. Profit won't happen in weeks, but it can happen if you get the proper training and support. See where I got my training, and start your first website for free.

Hehe. These guys call a launch made at May 2011 “recent” (check this image: http://www.gcashmonster.com/gcm-images/cb-proof-2.jpg). Which means that most likely Google fixed this “loophole” and the next and further.
And it does not cost $9.95, it costs $9.95 for 3 days plus $77 per month. Additionally, if you try to close the page, they will offer a discount of only $37 for the first month but then it will be $97 for the next months but guess what? This “discount sales page” is broken and you won’t be able to buy the product from that page (it will present you with the product order form but if you then select the PayPal, you will land on a mostly empty page with a little broken link that does nothing when you click on it and if you select one of the other two payment processors, you will ultimately land on a lousy error page). Additionally one of these payment processors is ClickSure and … we both know what quality products ClickSure has … oh, well.
So, Nat, if you don’t want to buy the next product (or, as I read on the Russel Brunson’s Scammer Profile, FRAUDUCT), I recommend you to go and exercise their sales process as further as possible, you will sometimes find funny surprises lying around it sometimes 😉
LOL. Sometimes I really do waste money on this stuff, but I try to save money where possible 🙂
I will give you advice how to save some more money:
1. If you bought it on Clickbank, go to Clickbank and ask them to refund you. They are pretty reliable in this.
1. If it turns out to be a scam, go to your bank and ask for a chargeback. State that the sales page did not specify exactly what you are buying and you had to pay to find out. State that you are a rewiew writer and you need to see what is in the product to be able to write a solid review for it. If the bank fails to take so many chargeback requests, go find another bank. I believed that these days any bank, especially in the US will go out of their way to serve a client who knows how to make significant amounts of money.
To be exact this is not just to save you money. By issuing chargebacks you are alerting the payment processors used by the scammers that there are problems with their products. This may trigger their suspection, freeze their merchant accounts or even trigger investigation into these companies, leading to their closure. People have to voice their frustation out there and the chargebacking system is designed for exactly that. And if your bank fails to understand that, they don’t deserve your money either.
