BUYER beware

BUYER beware, after watching Scott, Chris and James sell this amazing easy to setup digital marketing business. I jumped all in and then got told it will cost you $10,000. So without a doubt and Scott having a relationship with a lending company Moneyplace I took out a loan to get started thinking money will be coming in. He then changed the name of the school and whilst working and dealing with my wife having serious health issues. I couldn't do the course, so I am paying a debt now that gave me nothing other than Scott and Chris becoming rich (I got in touch with Scott and told me he mader $150k last month) this is just another Amway pyramid scam. They make the money you get nothing in return. I spoke to Scott online but he kept saying get out there and do it.
Do what exactly? Under $5k to go to get rid of this nightmare. No care whatsoever for anyone else but himself and his $150k every month he gets (plus my $10k and probably a commission from Moneyplace for the loan)

Con Artists

The lessons had valuable content, but so much excess hype that should've been cut. It became apparent after a couple months that something was seriously OFF in their supposed principles though. They were very money hungry, and disingenuous. Threats of suing for defamation against anyone who questioned them in a negative light publicly. Scott Weddell boasted "we've finally finished creating this amazing platform" (OBE) - giving the impression they'd done it from scratch themselves - only to find out it was just High Level white label version.

It was looking better when Skool came out. Finally getting good answers to questions and fellow student connections.

Then they decide to close the course up and transfer videos to YT (unlisted). They gave a fair amount of notice via FB group for the closure, but my first email notice only came through a week or 2 before the closure!!

What's even worse, is they only gave everyone 7 days notice that Skool and FB groups will also be closing. Threats included re monitoring comments of course.

Absolutely disgusting. I sure did pick the wrong course. 5k what a waste. Would've been a lot better going to someone like Grant Cardone or Billy Gene or Sabri Suby.

Not worth it!!!!

Not worth the money! I paid $5k for this outdated course as I was sold on the ‘passive income’ nonsense. The course was way longer than it needed to be, and a lot worse than some of the YouTube content out there. Please look elsewhere to learn digital marketing.

Why are people who are not making money writing glowing reviews?

I've already written a review here, but coming back to check, I'm struck by how many of the names here I recognise from the facebook group - and THEY AREN'T MAKING A CENT! What incentives are they giving for people to write glowing fake reviews? If you must buy this program, try and contact the people listed here as saying they are fantastic. See if they have digital marketing businesses. See if you can contact them and ask them directly about their success (hot tip - you won't find anything).

It's On You...

My experience with DMS has been awesome. I've met Scott and James in person and they are awesome dudes - really looking to help people become entrepreneurs and get their freedom back.

Reading some of these reviews is a somewhat amusing. I haven't had any issues with being scammed so not sure what all that is about, but as for all the mindset work - this has been super valuable stuff for me especially.

And the course itself - Everything that you need is in there. It's on you to put in the work. Nobody is going to get your clients for you.

If you're not willing to put in the effort and make the shifts, then being a business owner is probably not for you, in which case save your money and stick with your 9 to 5.

But, if you're looking to learn a high paying skill from people who are implementing the same strategies in their own businesses that they are teaching to their students, then you're in good hands with DMS.

After enrolling as a student

After enrolling as a student, I found the in-depth training very refreshing as this is a very intensive course on Digital Marketing, setting you up to have a lifelong skill that will benefit your clients for year to come.

This company is an absolute scam

This company is an absolute scam, they sold me a "Private program" that is really just 3 zoom calls that are mostly just videos to watch in a group setting. The people running it are really rude and intimidating and I was lied to about the program. I was told I would receive 3 Private calls a week, not these group calls at times that were either early in the morning or during the school run. They don't care about you and you will only be successful if you already have a large network. Complete scam! Do not waste your money.

DMS - The Marketing Powerhouse

I can not thank DMS enough .... what a life-changing experience. These mentors go above and beyond to help their students WIN and smash their goals. Best money I have ever spent .... I love having Scott and his team in my life.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

Waste of time and money. They have obviously gotten people to write reviews on here to make themselves look good. Just a few months ago they were rated at 2.5 on here.

You don't get any support unless you spend RIDICULOUS amounts of money (in the tens of thousands). They get you hyped up to the dream that they are selling but it's all bull. No check ups from them to see how I was doing. Even when I asked for help all I got was "send a support ticket to our team & they'll help you out" but all I got from this was a generic "go here in the program and watch video". The support team obviously don't do this themselves and have no idea about anything.

DON'T FALL FOR IT

I've seen someone who was "successful" in doing this program only for them to look absolutely horrible and burnt out because this clearly only becomes a "4 hour work week" after 5-10 years of doing this & building up a client base. Other than that it's just another full time + effort to even get to that stage.

The learning process is super long, the videos were outdated & I paid thousands of $$ for this. You could probably get most of this content by doing another few different courses for cheaper & find free material online. There's no mentorship unless you're happy to pay $10K+.

Absolute wrought and waste of time & money. Wouldn't believe the positive reviews on here. Wouldn't surprise me if these people got paid or got something extra from these guys to boost their reviews.

Blazing Hot Trailblazer Event.

You could tell right from the start that the sessions were crafted for the Trailblazer students as a roadmap for both personal and business success. DMS Emma Zai and Scott Weddell literally pulled the chain and lit every student as you would a lightbulb 💡 in a dark room. The power surged. There is no doubt in my mind that this dynamic duo cares about their students from a deep level and seeks to empower them with a successful career that blazes a clear path for everyone they serve.

Scott & Emma, the Dynamic Duo. Amazing, powerful

We just finished the Trailblazer weekend. Wow. My head and heart are so full of love & content to move the needle even more in not just my business but in me personally to grow more, which can only enhance the clients that come on board on this journey with us & the people we talk to each & every day. Scott and Emma are Dynamite together. They care about each & every one of their students. Everything is from the heart. All the new tools Scott & Emma shared with us to help us grow and to grow within our DMS family. The beautiful connections made to hearing the stories of other students, from Emma's Hotseats, we all gain from listening. They lead the way; they light the path of what true Digital Marketing is all about. It starts with them, from their hearts to ours. Love you guys to the moon & beyond. You can't put a price on what they teach. They are changing the world through each one of us students. Then we go out and change the lives of others. The ripple effect. Boom

Primary teacher to Digital Marketer

I used to be a primary teacher and after joining The Digital Marketing School I have been able to learn digital marketing and launch my own profitable digital marketing agency that’s replaced my income.

The Digital Marketing School (DMS) offers a thorough in depth course that teaches Digital Marketing concepts. The course has value for beginners to experienced marketers, since marketing is an ever changing field.

My experience with DMS has been amazing as I started as a beginner and have now become a proficient marketer. The marketing skills I have can all be attributed to DMS.

I have been able to use the knowledge and skills for my own marketing agency and replace my previous income. I have also used it to generate over $1M in revenue for my first client who was my brother, $30K monthly revenue for one of my current clients, $10K in 2 weeks for my latest client. So I can confidently say that what they teach works.

DMS offers so much value and information, but it's up to the students to take action and create their own reality using the resources that are being made available to them through the course.

The certification program is excellent but I would highly recommend the mentorship program which allows for a more personalised experience. The mentorship of Scott Weddell and James Wellington is second to none; they have really supported me on my journey in becoming an entrepreneur.

Laughing at the reviews saying DMS is a SCAM!

Laughing at the reviews saying DMS is a SCAM!

My partner & I have been with James and Scott just shy of 4 years now, in those 1,461 days I have never experienced ANYTHING that's made me think this was a scam or these guys are just for our money.

The level of care and support James, Scott & the entire DMS team show to each and every student is in my opinion, some of the very best anywhere in the world and you'll never change my mind about that!

Of course, we were a little hesitant to start our journey into digital marketing and anything online because of a previous $hitty experience we both had, but once we joined the guys and really got to see them in action, we knew we were in the right place.

To ANYONE thinking of joining up with these guys and taking their lives to the next level, do yourself a big favour and just get on the phone for a chat!

We love DMS and everyone that's a part of it and I'm sure you will too once you see it for yourself!

not a scam at all, some people can't handle it I think

I joined back in october/november and there is ALOT to learn but its all good material in my opinion. Its not just the tech skills but its also the mindset behind delivering quality work and pushing through when things rough. I admit, I struggled for months to get it work and then I joined the mentorship program and within a month I had a client. Not a scam, but might not be for everyone thats all

The decision to take the leap into freedom...

The decision to take the leap into entrepreneurship with DMS has been immensely rewarding. We've witnessed firsthand the transformative impact it has had on our lives. No longer bound by the constraints of a traditional job that didn't fully support our family's needs, we now more free in the flexibility that comes with owning our own business.

As we continue on this journey, my excitement for the future only grows. I am eager to continue to deepen my knowledge and expertise with DMS, as the ongoing support and community is incredible. I can see that with each milestone reached, we continue to step into freedoms that were made only possible because of DMS. DMS has truly changed our lives for the better, and we can't wait to see where this journey takes us next.

Worth the investment...

I joined the DMS community a couple of years back, but due to personal reasons I never fully jumped in until the beginning of this year and I'm about to launch 2 campaigns for my first clients.

The community that The Digital Marketing School has put together alone is worth the investment. It's by far one of the most supportive groups I've come across online and seeing those who jumped in fully when I first signed up having success in their online businesses is what has inspired me to jump back in.

The support team behind DMS is fantastic and answers any and all questions (even the silly ones) quickly and they always make sure you fully understand what you need to do before closing it off.

The one time I wasn't satisfied with the response to my question I received a call from James Wellington apologising within a couple of hours voicing my concerns. He quickly gave me the answer I needed and took the time to have a quick chat and offered some advice on a couple of other things I was struggling with.

This is not just a marketing course, I've learnt a lot about marketing. But I've also learnt a lot about sales, mindset, psychology, and business just to name a few...

It's also a community...

To see any sort of success from this (or any business) you need to be willing to put in the work, follow the path laid out by the DMS team and be willing to step outside your comfort zone.

And, whilst plenty of people have been able to kick goals quickly, if you're someone like me who is new to business, sales, and even social media you must understand it will take you longer to achieve your goals - don't give up

I have learnt so much.

I have been with DMS now for just about a year.

The skills I have learnt are invaluable. I have used these skills and knowledge to start my own marketing business. I won't lie and say it's all going amazing and I'm smashing goals (yet) but like anything worth doing these things take time.

I am really happy with the new communication system that gives you access to the team including Scott. Who let's face it for a CEO could pretty much ignore those of us down the bottom..but he doesn't. He genuinely wants to see us succeed and will help us in anyway he can.

I have been happy with my experience with DMS and continue to learn and grow in my business. It has given me the opportunity to take myself out of a very tiresome career when I needed it most and to focus on something that I could create.

Thanks Scott and team.

I have been with the DMS for several…

I have been with the DMS for several months now and I have to say the curriculum for the certification course was and is SO full of lessons it’s amazing! So much value for a very low entry fee.
After my certification, I enrolled in a program to work more closely with Scott as a mentor and it’s been a wonderful experience! Scott is a great teacher and mentor. He meets people at the level they are at and I can feel his passion for supporting people in changing their lives by learning the skill set of digital marketing. There’s a lot to learn and each week I am getting better and better at it with Scott’s guidance.

I would recommend the DMS to anyone looking to change their financial ability to make an abundant income by helping businesses grow.

Great to learn from masters

I have been part of the digital marketing school for almost a year. You can learn a high paying new skill at your own pace, full time or part time, whatever suits you. The school is run by real people, with real life experiences, who are absolutely passionate about what they do and knowledgeable beyond their years. They want to share this with their students and they’re on a mission to help 10,000 businesses which is not only great for the economy but great for humanity itself. Courses may seem expensive but they are worth every cent if you put in the time and effort. You can claim the cost of the course you choose as a tax deduction, as it is education for you. To invest in yourself and your families future is priceless and invaluable. I recommend when you join this community don’t just sit back on the fence, jump straight in and on it. You won’t be sorry!
