I have some doubts. That’s what basically summarizes my opinion of Cash Flow 101 and in this review of the program, I want to break down what I learned about it, the opportunity, if it works, if it’s a pyramid scheme or if it’s really legit.
I did not join Cash Flow 101 for a few reasons that I’ll be talking about in this review because in all honesty, what I saw on their sales page and the way this program is pitched, raises a number of doubts for me personally.
I will not be calling it an outright scam or pyramid scheme, and some info I have seen so far shows it may very well work, but my hesitation in not joining this program explains my positions. So let’s start with this:
A summary and quick review of Cash Flow 101:
Name: Cash Flow 101.
Creator: Unknown (big problem for me).
Price: $1,500, $3,500, $6,500 and $9,500.
Do I recommend it? I’m split.
There’s an awful lot of questions and stuff I see with Cash Flow 101’s money making formula and I’ll be explaining it in this review.
In many ways, you can argue that it’s either good or not but even if it isn’t, there’s other things I want to point out that in my opinion are important things to consider.
My rating for Cash Flow 101: 2.5 out of 5
Note: There are other Cash Flow 101 programs and games out there, so I need to make it clear that this review deals with a specific type of Cash Flow 101 program which in this case is an internet business opportunity.

Cash Flow 101 review (the basics explained):
What is Cash Flow 101?
This is a money making opportunity in which you land on the sales page and it sells you into one of four pricing options ($1,500-$9,500) known as “Pledge Levels”.
How does Cash Flow 101 work?
You join at whichever of the 4 levels you can afford by calling a number to enter into it.
How do you make money with Cash Flow 101?
You then get a sales page which I assume is the exact same sales page you joined through, but it’s your unique affiliate page and then buy traffic from the Cash Flow 101 program to send leads to that page and for every person who joins Cash Flow 101 through you, you will be compensated through what’s known as their “One up Pay Plan”.
How does the compensation plan of Cash Flow 101 work?
From what I understood based on reading their chart and watching their videos, whoever you refer first into the program, their payment goes up to your referrer (whoever you joined the program through) and every other person you refer afterwards, their payment/s go to you.
You can also earn money through secondary, third and even forth referrals meaning if your referrals get others in, you can make money down the line from their referrals through the same One up Pay Plan.
This opportunity and downline apparently is supposed to stretch to “infinity” as they like to say it which is actually nonsense considering how there’s a finite amount of people to promote this program to, but I’ll get to that argument shortly. So you can call this a type of MLM affiliate marketing type business.
The few reasons why I can’t join or recommend Cash Flow 101:
1) There’s a lot of double speak in the sales page (which is confusing and alarming):
For instance, they say they are not about hype, but talk about making crazy money quickly. Here’s a screenshot of what I’m talking about:
This type of messaging I see across the sales page several times and frankly, in my experience, when programs do this, you should be very careful.
2) Some basic questions aren’t answered on the sales pages, such as:
- Who made it? Who knows.
- There’s no about page.
- No images of the creator.
- No information on the company you’re joining (other than it being called Cash Flow 101).
3) The “testimonials” of the people in this program never mention the program name “Cash Flow 101”.
I sat through the 7+ minute video of people talking about how excellent of an opportunity this is, but I didn’t hear them mention the program name.
For example, I’ve been reviewing many high ticket programs lately and they also have a testimonials section in which they do show the people’s faces, but none of these people mention the program names ever. Here are some of those programs:
4) High ticket costs for a program that I do not believe is being transparent with you:
Like I said, I saw no about me page, no info on the creator, nothing of the sort and this is the same program asking me to invest up to $9,500 (or more) into it. But let’s say this program is legitimate and you do get the service, OK.
I still wouldn’t feel comfortable promoting this because in this approach to business because I personally believe in letting people know what exactly they’re going to be joining, how they’ll be making money, examples of how the business works and basically as much info as possible (other than showing off money) to give people the choice of joining it or not.
Conclusions on Cash Flow 101:
For me personally, I am doing my best to give Cash Flow 101 the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes, that’s difficult. The 4 issues I pointed out (that are based off my opinion) are too major for me to give this program a shot or recommend it like I said before.
And I say all of this as someone who is experienced in many different types of make money online opportunities and by that I mean that I have (and still do) make different websites on different niche topics that work for me, and I market them across different realms, and this experience and seeing it being taught in some programs and other methods in others, helps me distinguish this stuff pretty well.
The point is, I do make money online, and I help people at it too, which you can try for free in the Wealthy Affiliate program.
And I can tell you that spending tons of money without putting in hard work on a program that isn’t showing you very important info that I pointed about above is just too much of a gamble I would never take.
But this is my opinion. Like I’ve said before, I do believe people can make money from Cash Flow 101, but investing a lot of money is something I’d only do when I would have more answers to my questions and overall, in business, you do need to work a lot anyway to get results (at least that’s how it works for me).
