What if I told you that I had developed a system that would generate an unlimited supply of $20 bills delivered directly to your PayPal account without you risking a dime to try it out? Would you be the least bit interested in what I had to say?
Would you be a little skeptical and be tempted to scream scam? Of course, you would, and to be honest with you I don’t blame you.
Today I want to talk to you guys about a system called Laid Off To Paid Off or (LOTPO) for short and show you if there is any potential with this program or if you are better off learning a better way to generate income online.
Are you ready to dig down deep into this program and see what it’s all about? Let’s get started!
What Exactly Is This Program All About?
In a nutshell, this is nothing more than a funnel for another program that Bryan is affiliated with called Zip Nada Zilch or ZNZ for short. This is basically a trial offers website, where you complete trial offers in exchange for credits which can be used to purchase prizes and other cool stuff.
He tells you that you won’t need any of the following:
- No Website
- No list building
- No expensive hosting plans
- No Writing articles
- No need to learn SEO, PPC, or advanced marketing techniques
- No training
- No Money
So far this sounds pretty good wouldn’t you say? A system that requires no training, investment, or skills to get started. Where do I sign up?
Zip Nada Zilch is also free to join and for every person that signs up for a trial offer that came from LOTPO, Bryan gets a commission. This is a referral based program and the only way you can gain access to it is by entering a referral id of the person that referred you.
How Does This System Work And How Do You Make Money With It?
Step 1- To get started, you simply need to sign up for your free account from ZNZ. Once you have an account, you will be provided with your own referral id number which you need to enter back on the LOTPO site.
Step 2- Enter your referral id into the box in step 2 and you will be directed to the members area.
Now you need to head back over to the ZNZ site and complete your 1 trial offer that Bryan emphasizes that you only need to do to get this up and running. Check my screenshot below
After you enter your email address you will need to complete 1.00 worth of credits in order to qualify for the gift you selected in step 1. Remember how Bryan kept telling you that all you had to do was complete 1 trial offer in order to get $20 bills sent to your account?
Well, I think the screenshot below clarifies that this is not the case and you will end up having to complete multiple offers if you want to stay on the “FREE” side and avoid spending any money on these offers.
Some of these offers can get costly! I saw that some of them were $60 bucks or more. Do you really want to pay triple what you would make? I know that I wouldn’t want to especially if the only reason I’m doing this is to make $20
As I was searching through all these offers, I found that less than 5% of them were free and the majority of them cost money. In some cases, there was also a recurring monthly fee which Bryan also fails to mention in the sales video.
Once you complete the required 1.00 in credits from completing the trial offers above your prize will be released depending on what prize you selected.
Let’s Take A Look At The Pros And Cons Of This Program
Pros:
- It’s Free to join
- The sales video wasn’t all hyped up with sports cars and million dollar mansions like most programs in the Internet marketing industry are.
Cons:
- You will likely end up spending more money than you will make
- Trial offers can be a real pain in the butt and time-consuming
- Offers little to no training on how to advertise your LOTPO Website
- You are told you won’t need a mailing list, but this is one of the many upsells that’s thrown in your face in the member’s area
- Serves as a funnel too many other well known scam programs that Bryan is affiliated with
- You are presented with a multitude of upsells in the member’s area
Are You Provided With Any Training Or Tools?
I was surprised that the back office offered so little training for a system that claims you don’t need any skills to get started. Most of the training that I was able to find, were upsells to either traffic software or list building software that he tells you is necessary if you want to generate lots of traffic and leads to your LOTPO website.
There were a few very brief paragraphs that explained how to use social media to promote your website and get leads, but if you are a complete newbie to online marketing this will be over your head.
There are also outdated traffic sources such as writing and submitting articles to directories like Ezine articles. This might have worked back in 2012, but not so much today.
The only tool that I was able to find that wasn’t an upsell is your very own fully customized website. This is nothing more than a carbon copy of the exact same website you were on when you signed up. The only difference is your referral ID is attached to the end of it.

What’s The True Price You’ll End Up Paying If You Really Want To Make Money Using This System?
While it’s not going to cost you anything to join, you will still need to fork out some cash if you want to actually make any decent money using this system. Like I mentioned earlier on in this review, the majority of the trial offers are paid offers and you will be required to complete enough offers to equal 1.00 credit.
The prices range from $1 all the way up to $60 or more depending on which offer you choose. It’s important for you to keep in mind that you are doing all of this to make a measly $20. If you do this multiple times thinking you will get multiple $20 bills deposited into your PayPal account, think again.
This could get pretty costly unless you find offers that have a high credit payout and low start up cost. Otherwise, you will end up forking out more cash for these junk offers than you get paid for doing then. This just isn’t worth it in my opinion.
Let’s also not forget that you’ll need to invest in either paid advertising or have some knowledge about SEO to drive some form of traffic to your site or you won’t be making squat. I know from experience that any form of paid advertising is in no way cheap.
You very well could end up losing hundreds or even thousands of dollars if you don’t know what you are doing with paid advertising.
Are There Any Upsells?
Oh yes, as soon as you log into your member’s area you are hit with quite a few upsells. Once again Bryan is using this system to funnel people into many well known scams that he just happens to be affiliated with.
I will list these below:
Cash Blurbs.Com- This Clickbank product claims to drive traffic to your website by posting “cash blurbs” (Ads) onto social media and having other people share them. How it works is before you can post a blurb you need to share the blurb of another member first.
This will cost you $20 a month.
This also customizes the back end of LOTPO with your unique Clickbank affiliate link. While Bryan does tell you this is optional, he goes on to say that you could be missing out on thousands of dollars if you don’t purchase this traffic software.
It just so happens that this is another low quality product from none other than Bryan himself.
Directory Of Ezines- This product consists of a directory of people who run online newsletters called Ezines. They will blast your AD to everyone on their list in hopes of driving traffic and potential leads to your website. There’s also training on how to use solo ads along with other a few other forms of advertising.
This will set you back a whopping $197
DotCom SecretsX- This is a well known scam that has been floating around the internet for quite some time now. Richard Branson the product creator has created a coaching program where he guarantees that you will be making 6 figures in no time by simply using his system. This also includes splash pages that you can use to start building your list.
This is offered to you at $1 for your first 2 weeks and $47 per month after that.
5Iphon Hardcore Extreme List Builder- This is yet another product created by, you guessed it, Bryan Winters. This is pretty much a list builder that’s based on a send 5 system. You send your first 5 subscribers to your referrals list and in turn, you will get the first 5 subscribers from all of your referrals sent to your list. This automates the process of list building and will have other people building your list for you on autopilot. Sound confusing?
This will set you back an extra $40 bucks
Let’s Compare LOTPO To The Program That I Use To Generate A Full Time Income Online
My Closing Thoughts And Personal Recommendation
To be honest with everyone here today, I actually thought this program had potential when I first started reviewing it. As soon as I logged into the member’s area and saw that Bryan was using this program merely as a funnel to sell his other low quality scammy products as well as pushing other well known scams on you, I quickly changed my tune about LOTPO real quick.
Any system that offers extraordinary claims and tells you that you can make money with no skills, no work, and no training should instantly throw up a red flag and be avoided at all costs. While it may be cool to sign up for trial offers if these are products that you use on a daily basis, then sure why not?
You won’t end up making enough money if any at all to make it worth your time.
Making money online takes lots of hard work and if you don’t have a proven and step by step training program then chances are, you will be making little to no money in the online world. There are literally thousands of ways to make money online, but unfortunately, this program isn’t one of them.
There are much better options available online where you can actually get started for free. Instead of having to complete trial offers and have upsells thrown in your face the minute you join, you can learn how to build a business the proper way doing something you enjoy doing.
Wouldn’t you much rather make money doing something you enjoy vs something you have no interest in? You can learn how to do just that here
I really hope this review has given you an inside look into what you will be getting yourself into before you even think about joining this program. Don’t let the word FREE suck you into making a decision that you will regret later on. Do you have a personal experience that you would like to share with other people about LOTPO?
I would love to hear about it and I know other people would as well. Feel free to leave it in the comments section below. I would also love to hear your comments, questions, or any feedback you have for me below. I promise I will reply back to you right away.

Hey Scott,
All of these free trail offer programs are a waste of time.
And like you said chances are you will end up spending more money then you will ever make.
That’s why Brian does not tell the complete truth, if he did no one would end up in his funnel.
If you’re looking to make money with trails offers, which in reality is just a way to get leads for a company. And not your own information.
One should look at CPA offers. Cost Per Action.
Ton’s of companies are willing to pay for leads. Places like Max Bounty provide CPA programs.
And the programs will pay as high as $10 to $15 per lead. But most pay around $1.50. You simply have to drive traffic to your CPA.
The good thing in this program is people are exposed to the directory of ezines.
You could not find a better quality program for advertising in ezines. I know because I am a lifetime member of the DOE.
I have driven a ton of targeted traffic to my sites using the DOE.
Plus Charlie Page is one of the most respected and trustworthy marketers on the planet.
So if there is one silver lining this would be it. It’s a shame that you have to be exposed to this waste of time program to find a quality program like the DOE.
Cheers

Hey Leo,
I 100% agree with you that these trial offer programs are nothing but a waste of time and money. Going off of my personal experience with this particular company, I ended up spending more than I actually made and found it to be a waste of time. Like I said in my review, the whole idea of people completing trial offers and recruiting more people is to keep Brian’s funnel going.
The more people that you recruit for him, the more leads he will have in his sales funnel. While I must admit this is a pretty clever way to get leads, it’s also a sneaky one. CPA offers is something I have always been interested in but haven’t really known what it is. It sounds like Max Bounty is a great company to get started in CPA and I will definitely have to check them out.
The directory of ezines did look like a pretty legit program, but once I saw the $197 price tag I backed off of it. From what you are saying though it sounds like a quality program and worth the investment. Like you said though it’s a shame that you have to go through this BS program to find a quality program like DOE.
I really want to thank you for stopping by Leo and sharing you’re thoughts on this program with everyone here today. I’m sure this will help other people make the right decision when deciding if this program would make a right fit for them or not.
Cheers
Scott
