The Reviews are in...

Listed below are my reviews of a few of the most popular cash gifting programs online (you may have seen one or more of these, or even be in one of 'em right now). Scroll down to read the facts and my personal opinions on each one... and more importantly, what no one else will tell you:

Ecosov (Too Damn Easy)

Review: Ecosov has been operated in one form or another for over 9 years by a guy who calls himself "Q." There used to be three levels to join, but now there are only two: $6,600 & $18,500. It uses a 1UP style structure. Q has set up a pretty slick system and has the bragging rights to back it up. His marketing style and approach is 'in your face,' blunt and to the point with no fluff. Some people even consider it offensive, but it has mass appeal to others. It seems there's no grey area, you either like his style or you don't. Members are given a system ID to advertise along with program provided ads that must be used by prospective members to join. If someone responds to an ad and doesn't know what the ID code is, they can't join. Q also runs a prolific "Cash Me Out" newsletter and cranks out new content every week along with his telephone hotline that allows you to hear him address all types of questions and situations. He also answers all questions personally, but only to those that are ultra serious.

The Pros: You can join, plug into some of Q's marketing and advertising co-ops, or use his pre-designed ads and postcards and do it yourself. His marketing materials are top notch and pull very well. All of your ads include your member ID and Q handles all the rest which includes handling any and all questions from your prospects, as well as setting up the tracking to ensure your cash is delivered to you via Fedex, UPS or DHL. Q isn't a lazy millionaire in the least, he personally handles ton of calls and email and has actually worked extremely hard to deliver exactly what the average Joe or average Jane needs to receive serious amounts of cash, and do it with as little time and effort as possible.

Best Feature: The professionally designed marketing materials and hands-off automation make this program attractive for busy people that have more money than time. Q's newsletters are also very entertaining and blunt.

The Cons: With the minimum participation amount being $6,600 to start (plus advertising expenses), Ecosov%u2122 disqualifies the vast majority of people out there looking to get ahead from participating with this activity. Q isn't shy about this fact and is most likely intentionally keeping the entry level high to only attract those that are totally serious. The other thing I see as a major drawback to this program is the fact that your marketing and advertising CANNOT be tracked! In other words, you have no idea of determining where your referrals are coming from and which ads are pulling best for you. There's also no way to track who Q has spoken to or what your leads are doing (unless you hear about someone joining) since you've gotta send everyone to HIS website with your referral ID# and hope for the best.

Biggest Flaw: You must GIVE AWAY every 5th gift you receive to Q as a "Monitor Fee to corporate." At $6,600 - 18,500 a pop, you could end up giving a away a fortune over time.

Side Note: I have friends that have joined this program and some have done well%u2026 for a while, but then they have dry spells and all of the sudden things drop off and they have no idea why. Since you can't track which advertising method is working best for you, you could be wasting thousands of dollars and not even know it.

Opinion: Ecosov%u2122 appeals to those that have serious financial resources (i.e. deep pockets) to promote the program and are looking for something very turn-key and hands off, but the entry level price keeps most people away.

Number One Success System (NOSS)

Review: NOSS is one of the more popular 1UP style gifting programs out there and has been around for over 6 years. The program has been promoted as having over 40,000 members worldwide in 16 countries. I don't think there's any way to really verify this, but based on the popularity of NOSS, it's possible. NOSS appeals to many people because it has 3 levels of participation: $500, $1,500 and $3,500. Leaders within the program also conduct several live overview calls each week as well as a daily training call which is primarily motivational. It's professionally administered using a 3rd party tracking software system that keeps track of referrals and gifts received, etc. The tracking software runs about $100 per year.

The Pros: With the lowest entry level being only $500, it's accessible to the masses. The weekly conference calls to invite prospects to is well scripted and professional. There seems to be a genuine sense of community and support with NOSS and their system is simple and simple to follow for duplication. Cash gifts are delivered to participants via Fedex, UPS or DHL.

Best Feature: Low entry fee of $500 makes this program accessible to many people and the daily calls are conducted by industry leaders.

The Cons: If you join NOSS, you better be prepared to do some serious phone work and be able to handle rejection well, because participants are taught to promote the activity using an outdated antiquated method that focuses on buying lead lists, and COLD-CALLING strangers, or running ads and following up with people to invite them to the daily calls, etc. You're instructed to invite them to the daily calls using a simple 2 minute script, then follow up with them. There are no larger levels of participation above $3,500.

Biggest Flaw: Not internet-based. They have strict policies about how you can actually market the program and will delete you from the system if you violate their terms. One of the things they forbid is internet marketing. Why? I don't know, but it probably has to do with some of the founders just liking to stick with old-school prospecting methods.

Opinion: NOSS has mass appeal for people that don't mind cold-calling and doing heavy phone work (which is a very small minority), but most participants don't find this stuff out until AFTER they join and realize what they're going to have to do to be successful with the program. In an age where the internet can automate so much of the explanation process, it makes no sense that they don't offer an internet based system for their members.

Cash Arrives 365

Review: Cash Arrives 365 is one of the veteran 1UP gifting programs and has also been around for about 7 years. CA365 also appeals to many people because it has 3 levels of participation: $500, $1,500 and $3,500. It's professionally administered using a 3rd party tracking software system that keeps track of referrals and gifts received. The tracking software runs about $100 per year.

The Pros: With the lowest entry level being only $500, it's accessible to the masses. The weekly conference calls to invite prospects to is well scripted and professional. Pretty similar program as to NOSS without the cold calling approach to prospecting. Cash gifts are delivered to participants via Fedex, UPS or DHL.

Best Feature: Low entry fee of $500 makes this program accessible to many people and the daily calls are conducted by industry leaders.

The Cons: Not many strong leaders found in this program or professional marketing tools.

Biggest Flaw: Couldn't find any strong marketing system or teams with leaders in this program. Seems to be a fairly small organization without a lot of support structure.

Personal Opinion: If you can find a good team and marketing system, you could have a shot at being successful.

The Overnight Cash System (TOCS)

Review: As an internet-based cash gifting activity, TOCS is the "baby" of online cash gifting programs since it's only been around for a little over 2 years, but it's gaining in popularity. It uses a 1Up style structure like the others and offers members one of the most professional and hands-off systems out there. There are 5 levels or "tiers" in TOCS: $500, $1,000, $2,500, $5,000, and $10,000. Interested prospects visit the website to read all about the program, listen to the audio recordings, read the testimonies, watch the movies, then they can call in toll-free or submit a Callback Request and get all their questions answered "customer service" / "team leader".

There are additional fees required to become a TOCS member. These fees are determined by which Tier Level you choose to get started with and range from $200 to $1,000. There's also a monthly fee of $29.95 for the hosting of the replicated websites as well as access to all the marketing tools. They give a discount if you purchase a one year subscription up front. Just to be clear, the fees I just mentioned are in addition to the initial cash gift that's sent to the sponsor.

The Pros: With the lowest entry level being only $500, it's accessible to the masses. The system is highly automated and members can participate without having to talk to a lot of people.

Best Feature: Professional TOCS Team Leaders personally call and answer all your prospects questions for you, so it can be almost completely hands-off on the member's part. This really appeals to people that either have a fear of the phone, or just wanna be more anonymous and 'fly under the radar.'

The Cons: The TOCS Website has a "Get-Rich Quick" Feel to it and that actually turns some people off. Thus, the conversion ratio for visitors is really low. The high administration fees are only making TOCS richer and they are mooching off everyone else's marketing efforts. The materials they provide are easily available for FREE if you join the right team with another cash gifting program such as SOW Today. Also, they have a strict "no deal" policy on gifts.

Biggest Flaw: Biggest thing that I found was the strict restrictions they put on "use of their marketing materials". Also, you are not allowed to change the content of the letters that are sent out to your prospects via the TOCS auto responder. They have the right to eliminate you at their will (I know people who have gotten success there only to have made a mistake in marketing and had their site shut down permanently). Another major downfall is that you have to get all your materials approved by TOCS before publishing them.

Personal Opinion: TOCS has a good concept with the customer service but I personally don't like it. I believe that helping people out through support, training, and good information while teaching them how to be independent is the best way to foster leadership and build strong downlines for any program you are in. This concept is fairly new so it will take time to prove itself. The conversion ratio for visitors to opt-ins definitely needs to be improved.

Spirit of Wealth (SOW) Today (OUR PROGRAM)

Review: SOW is very similar in many ways to NOSS and was supposedly founded by a group of former NOSS members that broke off to start their own program because they wanted more freedom in the way they market the program. SOW is around eight years old and has over 40,000 members in over 16 countries. Like NOSS, SOW also appeals to many people because it has 4 levels of participation: $500, $1,000, $2000 and $3,500. It's professionally administered using a 3rd party tracking software system that keeps track of referrals and gifts received, etc. The tracking software runs about $129 per year. Many teams within SOW use automated internet-based systems like websites and streaming audio, etc.

The Pros: Unlike NOSS, there are ZERO Marketing and promotion restrictions making the entire program easier to enroll people in. With the lowest entry level being only $500, it's accessible to the masses. Most SOW members use replicated websites that incorporate recorded overviews so no personal explaining is necessary and this in turn keeps the follow up minimal. There is zero cold calling or salesmanship needed with this type of automated system. Cash gifts are delivered to participants via Fedex, UPS or DHL.

Best Feature: Unlimited marketing potential. Again, the low entry fee of $500 makes this program accessible to many people. The automation using websites to deliver the information saves time and give people more freedom as to how they want to promote the program.

The Cons: It was really hard to find a flaw with this program. The only thing I could find that I would consider a 'Con' is the fact that when someone has questions or wants to get started with this program, they have to call their inviter to get started. I look at it more like a courtesy thing. Shouldn't you know who you are gifting before you "gift" them?

Biggest Flaw: Some teams in SOW have great marketing systems and strategies in place and some don't. If you join this program, make sure you are working with a strong mentor and team with great marketing tools like Our Team Maverick with the Magnetic Gifting System.

Opinion: SOW has taken some of the "negatives" from other programs and use the rest of the positives like the internet systems, video testimonials, direct mail marketing, etc. If you can find a good team and marketing system, you'll have a greater chance at succeeding in SOW long-term. I give this program my highest recommendation, because of the amount of control you have over your future. When you join Team Maverick and put the Magnetic Gifting System in use - your results will be phenomenal and your cash flow will increase dramatically due to our training and mentoring of YOUR downline.

ALSO, MAKE SURE TO LOOK AT THE WAY EACH OF THESE PROGRAMS WORKS... THE 1-UP STRUCTURE IS SIMILAR BUT WITH TOCS, YOU LOSE ALL GIFTS IF SOMEONE JOINS AT A HIGHER LEVEL THAN YOU...WITH OUR PROGRAM, YOU STILL GET WHAT YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO RECEIVE
