As time passes by, Empower Network continues to constantly try and find more and more ways to get people involved in their pyramid scheme. In the past few months, I have saw many complaints from former EN members, and I even talked to a few of them here in the last week.
Some guy that I talk to almost everyday has told me that this new system they have just launched is just another watered down version of their existing low quality products. (If you can even call them products)
On September 23th ENv2 launched and there has been lots of hype going around that this new upgrade is supposed to make EN better. (I very much doubt it)
In case you don’t know exactly what EN is this should give you a better understanding of them
What can you expect to get in Empower Network (env2)
This new system that is being developed adds a new layer of technology to their already existing $25 blog. I will go over in detail what is included in ENv2 below. They have moved away from the WordPress platform and are using a new blogging platform. This new system is supposed to “automate” and make the website building process as easy as 1,2,3.
Introducing the all new 2 click website building feature
1. 2 click blogging- With this new 2 click feature you can have a blog post or page published within 2 clicks. Anyone who is familiar with websites and blogging, knows that it only takes 1 click to get a post published.
As a matter of fact I have published this post you are reading now with just 1 click. I got this website Free when I first started out and it has only taken 1 click to get my post live to the entire world.
Here are 2 places that you too can get Free websites that will be published with just 1 click not 2.
- Get 2 Free websites here along with free training and tools to get you started, and 7 days of premium help and support.
- WordPress.com
I’m sure there are thousands of people out there who will fall for this marketing tactic and actually think that a 2 click system is an improvement.
2. Mobile Audio/Visual Broadcasting- With this newly added feature you can now upload videos directly to their network and promote EN from anywhere. This can all be done from your smart phone or any mobile device that you are using. Once again this is not anything new and you have been able to do this for a couple years now.
Anyone that has been involved in video marketing knows that you can do this all for free. You tube and many other video networks provide this service to you free of charge.
The only difference is that these videos are hosted by EN. This will definitely limit you to where you can upload these videos to. Since You Tube banned them quite some time ago, you won’t be able to leverage the #1 video network on the web.
3. Tracking sales and analytics software- You can now keep track of every sale and get in depth analytics of your traffic and where it’s coming from. Most affiliate programs already offer this feature too you for free. Why you may ask? Because they want to see you succeed and make lots of sales.
Does Empower Network care if you succeed? Hell no all they care about is trying to push more products on you that you can get for free elsewhere.
So has anything changed since last time and does this upgrade make EN any better? Nope, It’s just the same system with a few added features which should already be there in the first place.
Does ENv2 come included with their $25 blogging platform?
This is just the start of their lies and deception and it seems like it never ends. If you go to someones website that is promoting this new system they will tell you that $25 is all you need to be a part of ENv2.
However I took my research a little farther then I usually do and I was able to watch a video from their latest convention that was held in Denver. David wood tells everyone that in order to use this new system you need to be in the inner circle. (Which will cost you $100 extra a month)
This is another one of their hook and bait tactics that they use to entice you to buy into their low quality training and high price packages.
Empower keeps telling you that you need to invest more money to make money
You will need a very small amount of money to get up and running, but not nearly as much as they tell you. Anyone that tells you that you need to invest over $5,000 for some courses. Then another $150 or more each month to run a successful business is only out to get your money and not help you.
I am going to be truthful with everyone and show you how to get a business setup the right way.
Instead of wasting your money on their low quality watered down courses, you should invest your hard earned money into a real business education. You will also need a few good quality tools to get your business up and running.
I will go over everything you need below
- $10-$12 per year for your domain name
- A reliable and accurate keyword tool. Free to try out, then prices start at $19 per month.
- A real online business education You can get started for Free.
This is a far cry from the $150 minimum that they say you need to invest each month.
Do you wanna be a badass or a successful online business owner?
According to EN if you don’t go ALL IN and buy into their high priced watered down training packages. Not only will you be called a wussy but they will harass you and call you all kinds of degrading names. Don’t believe me check out some of the comments I have gotten on my original EN review and also check out some of the comments on my Facebook screen shot.
Before you get mixed up in all this hype of Env2 being the greatest thing ever. I would suggest you do your proper research first and find out what you are getting involved in. Env2 is nothing more than a few added features that are pretty much standard for any other blog out there.
Wealthy Affiliate shows you how to get a successful online business up and running. Empower Network will show you how to be a badass and how to lose thousands of dollars by going ALL IN. The choice is yours to make and I am just trying to lead everyone in the right direction.
I hope this has helped you make a decision on whether or not ENv2 is everything it is hyped up to be or not.
If you are an ex member of EN and you would like to share your experience with everyone here, I would love to hear about it. If you are thinking about joining I hope I was able to save you money and stop you from getting scammed by this ruthless company. If you have any questions, comments, any feedback please leave it below and I will get back to you right away. Your Friend Scott
Hi Scott,
I’ve Read your review and comments Regarding EN , I thoroughly agree with all the comments of your readers, I spent some four weeks with them and it doesn’t take long to realize that its definitely an MLM scheme, my biggest criticism was that there was no step by step tutorial on how to setup the so called blog beast platform, then after sending in numerous support tickets some that took over 4 days to get answered then without any satisfactory solution and watching all the sales video’s of the two started to use my brain, and realize that as with most MLM’s the only people who really made money were the founders and the top 1% and that for all there pontificating on how they cared about their members, supporting them, wanting them to succeed and all the other BS – That they didn’t really give a hoot, about their members or their success and after the maybe 100th time of being called a Wussy because I wouldn’t buy any more so called products in their scheme, I pulled up my accounts profile and hit the cancel button and had that wonderful feeling of relief, Then a few weeks later I found Wealthy Affiliate University and apart from getting a bit overwhelmed occasionally, after four weeks I cannot find anything to criticize and have nothing but praise for the training the community the resources the all in continuous help and feeling of family, I have spent over 3 years looking for a home like WA and I’m in for the duration .

Hi Raymond,
Thanks so much for the kind words about my site and I’m glad that you got out of EN and I hope you didn’t go all in. Empower network is 1 of if not the biggest MLM pyramid schemes out there today. The thing that I hate is like you mentioned there is no training whatsoever or no personal help or support. The reason for this is because when you join you are expected to promote this SCAM to everyone else and try to get them to go ALL IN!
All they do in the videos is brag about how much money they are making and they could care less about seeing you succeed. If you checkout this screenshot that was taken from their official site you will see that only the people at the top are making any money as you have already mentioned.
I agree with you about the constant name calling and them harassing you about going ALL IN and I don’t think anyone should be treated that way. I am so glad that you got away from them and you was able to find Wealthy Affiliate. I hope that you are finding your way around the community and are experiencing success.
Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your experience with EN with everyone here and if I can help you out in any way please let me know.

Hi There. I must say, an amazing review of the so called “NEW” Empower Network! Thank you for bringing up all this good information, letting people know to not get fooled into this hyped up thing, with their ridicously new blogging platform. I’ll say, this is just: Same thing, different pile! Thank you again for showing people this!
Cheers!
Johan
Hey Johan,
I’m glad that you liked the review and I hope it has helped you make a sound decision to avoid this hyped up program and run in the other direction. I think it’s about time that people know the truth about this pyramid scheme and don’t fall for the same ol bull that they tell everyone.Thanks for stopping by and offering your thoughts on this and if I can help you out in any way let me know man.
Your Friend Scott
I’m a little late to this post, but I wanted to chime in.
The upsells were the exact reason I quit empower immediately after joining. I got involved just to see what it was about and noticed right off the bat that all they did was upsell. They have freakin products that literally costs thousands of dollars.
There’s no way you should be required or even suggested to spend that kind of money to start out with an affiliate/network marketing company.
Al Green
Hey Al,
You are never too late and I appreciate you chiming in and sharing your thoughts with everyone here. I personally can’t stand upsells and whoever markets their business in this way it turns me off completely. I wouldn’t even call what they are offering a product. Here are a few reasons why, For 1 what they are offering is worthless information. Second is everything that they have included in this so called upgrade has already been available for years now and everyone else offers these things for FREE!
The sad thing about all this is that they have NO PRODUCT whatsoever and the only way you can make money in EN is by sucking other people into this pyramid scheme. I agree with you 100% that nobody should have to pay these ridiculous fees just to get started in affiliate marketing. If you are looking for a way to get started making money online with affiliate marketing and would like to get started for Free along with 2 free websites to get you going I would recommend you check out Wealthy Affiliate. I have been making money with them for close to a year now and they are 100% legit.
Thanks for stopping by Al and sharing your experience with EN and if I can help you out in any way let me know.

I loved empower, but in the new platform you have to click “badass” just to “like” something. That offensive language to me is quite negative and I’d hate to pull others into the bad language platform as such.
It has so many good points, but it is something about it that I just cannot stand. Not sure what that is yet but I do not plan to continue with EN.
Hey there, There always has been a problem with foul language in this program. I don’t know why they feel the need to use so much bad language. I wouldn’t want to get someone involved with the bad language platform as you have put it either. The only thing that is happening here is EN is taking a while to get caught up with the rest of the world. All the new features that they have added is usually standard and mostly free on every other platform.
I’m glad that you are not going to continue with them. If you are looking for a 100% legit place to start building your business the right way, then I suggest Wealthy Affiliate. It’s Free to get started and there is hype or empty promises. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your EN story with everyone and if I can help you in any way let me know.
Your Friend Scott
This is kinda funny really. All these are normal features on the normal WordPress platform that comes free for most hosting plans. You can even get more value out of one of the free sites offered by WA. Just more silliness meant to entrap people unfortunate enough to fall for it. There isn’t a single thing that I can say in EN’s defense. Nothing but upsells and self promotion. This is not the way to run a long term business and they’re just now starting to feel the effects and trying to put on a band-aid in the form of close to acceptable features that everyone else has been providing free for years!
I know exactly what you mean Chip it seems like EN is a little behind because all of these features have came standard with any other WordPress blog or any other affiliate program out there for years now. This is just more rubbish to add to their worthless so called training and blogs that are pretty much useless to everyone. As you have mentioned the Free websites offered by WA offer more value then the ones they are charging $25 a month for. It looks like sales were down so they had to come out with something else to try and get more innocent people sucked into their pyramid scheme. Thanks for stopping by man and leaving a comment I really appreciate it.
Env2 is more sugar added atop of a pile of mud in my opinion. The new services are not only substituted by cheaper and even free alternatives but useless and outdated too.
I have to agree with you man, This new system that they have is just another marketing tactic to try and get more people sucked into their ever growing pyramid scheme. Thanks for stopping by and offering your thoughts on this new system.
Hey Scott, nice site man. I’ve read a couple of your posts. This one and your WA review. I was in WA for awhile a few years back. Just decided to come back again. I too think Empower Network is a scam. I mean David and his other brother dave went from homeless and combless, living in a van, to millionaires living in Costa Rica mansions?
LOL and they did it all from a library computer!
Can ya believe it brother?
I mean can I have a damn amen?!
David Wood must be Dani Johnson’s brother. You know Dani don’t you? She was homeless too! Lived out of her station wagon and called leads from a pay phone. By the way she was also attending toast masters and being trained by Randy Gage.
I often wonder how all these homeless and combless folks get showered for their presentations, how they pay their phone bills, and Internet providers let alone a hosting company, AR company, webmasters, copywriters and so on. Another thing I wonder is …
How stupid the average idiot has to be to believe their crap!
Now …
Don’t get me wrong. I happen to love network marketing/MLM but …
I can’t stand liars, scammers and online thieves.
Anyway, again nice site 🙂
Hi there, Thanks for stopping by and for the positive comments about my site it really means a lot to me. I don’t know how much longer these con artists can keep coming up with these ridiculous modules that they claim will help you make money. The only people who are making money is the 2 David’s and the other 1% of people who are at the very top of this pyramid scheme.
I heard their story I don’t know how many times about how they were homeless and living in a van and now they are living the american dream. The problem with this is, they are running an illegal ponzi pyramid scheme and scamming millions of people out of millions of dollars.
I too have wondered the same thing about how they were able to get internet access(Unless they tapped into someone’s WiFi, it wouldn’t surprise me)pay their phone bill, and get hosting if they were homeless. It doesn’t make sense does it? I don’t really know much about any other members of Empower but the 2 a-holes that started this whole thing.
You know when I was watching the video of their Denver conference and they announced this new system you wouldn’t believe the crowd. They went nuts, cheering and clapping their hands like they just introduced a groundbreaking product or something.
The thing that I find hilarious is they say no more WordPress we are now upgrading to a 2 click blogging platform that is way more user friendly. These people must not realize that in WordPress it only takes 1 click to publish a post not 2.
I think they could tell these people anything and they would believe it. It’s just sad that these people worship the 2 David’s like they are a GOD or something. Thanks again for stopping by and offering your feedback on this.
