20 Minute Cash System Review: Is it a Scam?

I legitimately tried to purchase myself 20 Minute Cash System to write you this review and got blocked from the process.

However, in hindsight, I’m happy, because what I found out about this program after the fact made me glad that the purchase didn’t happen. And this review will explain what occurred, if the program is/was a scam and everything else you need to know.

4 disclaimers about this 20 Minute Cash System review:

1) I didn’t buy it (I literally was block from it and I’ll prove it). I suspect I know why and if anything, they did me a favor.

2) I ended up reading other people’s reviews of the program who have purchased it and in doing so, was relieved that I didn’t have to spend money to find out what I suspected (that there were better options, let’s just say).

3) As it turns out, what 20 Minute Cash System teaches you to do to make money online, I personally think has a LOW chance of working and this is because I do a different version of the strategy that does work for me (and I also make money online full time, so there’s that fact too).

4) Now all this being said, what I am writing here is my opinion, but I am very confident in it and will provide alternatives in this review to what I have a lot of confidence in (and proof it works).

A summary and short review of 20 Minute Cash System:

Who created 20 Minute Cash System?

A Susan Gates and Darryl Dibetetto.

How much does 20 Minute Cash System cost?

I was offered it for $4.95 but the normal price is $49.95. As for upsells, I don’t have any evidence on that, but I suspect that you’d likely see them.

How does 20 Minute Cash System teach you to make money online?

Through a 10 lesson course, you basically learn to take other people’s YouTube videos (which give you permission to do so), and re-upload them as your own, edit them if necessary and basically piggyback of those videos to make money online through various ways:

1. You can re upload someone else’s product review, then enter your affiliate link in the video description.
2. You can re upload popular videos and edit them as necessary (if any edits), to piggyback of the popularity to also get views.
3. You can technically get views, subscribers and start monetizing the videos.

The 20 minute cash part comes in from using this strategy once (or more) a day, everyday and scaling your profits.

My rating for 20 Minute Cash System: 1.5 out of 5 stars

Do I recommend 20 Minute Cash System? Not really.

I happen to have a lot of experience with this strategy and in my personal experience/opinion, the likelihood of it working is very low.

I’ll explain the reasons why shortly, but while some YouTube videos MAY allow you to share/download it, I personally have reservations about that itself actually working, plus in my experience, the best way to succeed with YouTube is to make your own, unique content, not copy others, at least not directly in this fashion.

For me, this is not a strategy I believe in or endorse and thus, I cannot recommend the program either.

Alternatives? Yes:

20 Minute Cash System: A deeper review

To start, let me say I didn’t even know or intend to review this program. I had originally been looking at a completely different program from the get go and somehow it transferred me over to this program’s site instead.

I was somewhat intrigued to check out what all the hype was about and decided to try and buy it. The main sales page gave very little clue if any about what the program was going to teach me, and frankly, I don’t like that sort of stuff.

Luckily I got a “good deal” for $4.95 to check it out and figured why not give it a shot. But then something happened:

The payment to buy 20 Minute Cash System didn’t go through:

Just so you know, 20 Minute Cash System is connected with Clickbetter and I have some “history” with this network to say the least.

In my opinion, they blocked me due to one or more reasons:

1. I am very critical of pretty much every single Clickbetter product I’ve ever purchased (most were low quality or a scam in my opinion).
2. I’ve had to make numerous refund requests for those products I purchased because of those reasons.

I guess my name or card came up on file and was flagged/blocked because of that history. But I honestly don’t mind, because in hindsight, I may have just saved myself a little bit of money.

And I’m not the sort of person who tries products and refunds them, even if I like them.

I’ll only refund them if the value of the program/product is low and/or I think it’s a scam (See Invincible Marketer, which I left, but didn’t want a refund for because it’s good as one of many examples).

But I still wanted to know more about 20 Minute Cash System, and so:

I found several good reviews on this program. Here they are:

• Source 1.
• Source 2.
• Source 3.

The reviews of 20 Minute Cash System on each of these sites told me pretty much everything I needed to know (and summarized above). And yes, they were all highly critical of the program, for numerous reasons. To make it short:

The 2 main issues I see with in 20 Minute Cash System:

While the reviews I linked above go even further this program’s cons, I can’t comment on that personally. What I can comment on is what I see and know, and there’s 2 main cons that stand out above all else:

1) This is a program found on Clickbetter. 

The problem with this is that this network is unfortunately popular for the wrong reasons (lots of low quality and bad programs). I mean I was blocked from buying 20 Minute Cash System and I explained the reasons as to why. But based on the other reviews I read on this program, it doesn’t seem like I missed out on much good stuff.

2) Let’s talk about the YouTube strategy (and it’s holes):

I already explained the strategy above (Using other people’s YouTube videos as your own to piggyback off their success for affiliate sales and traffic, as well as monetizing the videos).

However, speaking from personal experience, this is often difficult to pull off. For starters, I explain the strategy of making money on YouTube without making your own videos, and I break down why this is a strategy I will basically never use in my own marketing funnels.

For starters, the idea is that you just use good, existing videos and assume you’ll get the same level of success.

This is unfortunately not the case (in at least 99% of cases), because if the video is literally the same as the original, it just won’t rank well. It’s very rare to see duplicate videos on YouTube’s search results and this is because they monitor this stuff.

I’ve personally had some of my own videos on YouTube downloaded, re-uploaded and used by other people and I’ve reported every single one of them for copyright violations.

Now this strategy is supposed to be OK to use and supposedly allowed for you to download and re-upload the YouTube videos, but honestly, the main problem is that it’s NOT unique content and is therefore in my experience not going to rank well, not get many views, and subsequently not make you good money.

Furthermore, I have an ethical dilemma in this strategy, even though there are ways to use it.

Ways I’d improve on the strategy:

Now there are ways to reverse engineer such strategies and do things like take existing good videos and make your own, BETTER version on the same topic.

For instance, if someone makes a good affiliate product review video, I can make one too on the same product, but make it my own, and create a better quality review. In that case, I’m not taking anyone’s work. I am making my own, unique video and making it better than the other. That’s how you get success.

Examples of this strategy can be seen with programs like Simple Traffic Blueprint and other good ones where this is implemented correctly.

Conclusions on 20 Minute Cash System:

Can it work? Possibly.

But in all honesty, as someone who understands the process of making money online with YouTube (affiliate marketing, monetizing videos and more), I wouldn’t recommend it at all.

There’s this whole idea behind the method that makes people think it’s easy to pull off, and in all honesty, setting this up really is easy, but making the videos you download off others do well on the other end is a whole other story, that is full of holes, issues and in my opinion will not work for most cases, so I think it’s a waste of time.

If you’re looking to make money online, I would avoid any sort of get rich quick scheme or any promises of easy money through quick methods that don’t require hard work, time and effort.

Such methods usually involve using questionable tactics which themselves have many holes and I see it happen again and again.

Trust me when I say, making money online is best done in a legitimate way, through hard work and being patient and if you’re wondering if there’s any program that can help you do this, my answer is this: Wealthy Affiliate will.

Long story short: The fact that Clickbetter blocked me from buying this program might have been for the best, because after reading about this program from other reviews, and being shocked at what I saw (and know about the strategy), I’m glad I saved myself the investment, even though it wasn’t much.
