Did you receive your Anik Singal Income Kickstart email this week? Did you watch the video? According to Anik’s latest email, 4,132 people did. I hate to admit it but yes, I am one of those 4,132 people who did view the video.
However, I didn’t watch all of it. I managed to get to the part where he was telling us what an incredible value the Income Kickstart system is but I didn’t/couldn’t wait around to find out the price.
“I’m sorry, Anik, I just couldn’t stomach any more of the hypey salespitch! And Anik, I’m really sorry to hear you were in the ICU at one point. But thank goodness you could run your business by phone at the same time. You are one amazingly dedicated Internet Marketer!”
In case you didn’t see the video, the Income Kickstart system (or method or whatever you want to call it) has something to do with building 1-page websites where your sole purpose is to collect their email address. According to Anik, one email address is theoretically worth $1.00. Collect 500 email addresses and you could earn $500 (theoretically). “Just think how easy it is to collect just 1 email address”! (His words, not mine) Yeah, right!
Anik says on the Income Kickstart video that the email addresses are collected in a database. Hmmm, I wonder who owns and has access to that database? Just imagine what Anik and his company could do with all these email addresses that were collected by their minions! Oh, and get this – Anik says you can sell the email addresses you collect for BIG BUCKS. I wonder if these 1-page websites are going to mention that your email address might be/probably will be sold in the future.
Like I said, I have no idea how much Anik Singal is getting for his new Income Kickstart system/method/scam but I know I won’t be one those pulling out their credit cards. But I have a feeling Anik will definitely be kickstarting his own income real soon!

I also received this e-mail. I listened to some of the message, but it took such a long time to get to the point and to the final price. This is a helpful post regarding the Income Kickstart program. Thank you. Cheers from Laura James in lovely Canada.
Hello Laura…..You are so right about it taking forever to get to the final price. It seemed to go on and on and on. “My Real Story”….oh give me a break!
Yeah, me too. Toooooo long and oh how boring!!! I let it run while I was having dinner ane when I got back I clicked for the go to page and it started all over again!!!! Not for Me.
Hi Cathy…..Thanks for stopping by! BTW, did you notice the video controls (back, pause, forward, etc.) were unavailable on the video? When I saw that, I thought “FAIL”! LOL
Ya. ffs dont these bitches get tired of these hyped up scammys. Just as soon as I read “My true story…” I immediately closed the video… Anik Singal is one of the so called gurus I like the least. Im not saying he doesnt provide value. I can’t possibly know.. I haven’t bought any of his stuff… but all of his hypey sales messages just make me wanna throw up… and when he tries to make it seem he cares for “us”…ughhh… he just seems so fake…
Should I had’ve come here to badmouth about him… who knows… but anyway, who cares?
Hi Pedro….Wow, those are some strong words/feelings! LOL But I can understand and appreciate where you’re coming from. I have to agree with you about the “oh I care about you and your success” attitude that comes across in the videos. I got a bit sick of that too. I actually signed up for Anik’s PPC Classroom ‘system’ when it first came out. But there were problems with the launch and the material wasn’t that great either so I soon cancelled and got a refund. I don’t believe I will be buying what Anik is selling anytime soon.
I appreciate the comments. I listened to it til the end…$497 for 15 sites…I nearly purchased but decided to use my money for other purposes. I already have way too much stuff I will never use!!
Hi Carol…..I’m glad you didn’t pay $497 for this system, method, or whatever you want to call it. I recently came across what appears to be some very good information on generating some money and get this – it’s free. But before I say anything good or bad about it, I want to try it for myself. I haven’t gotten any sales yet but I’m impressed with the traffic so far. More to come later. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will again.
Yea I almost bought it too. But I started thinking…(something I try not to do) Anik is going to limit this to 500 people. So 500 people will share 15 niche websites, compete against each other for keyword rich domain names and whatever else. Also I’m sure there must be an “upsell”. How much is that going to cost. I sent these questions in an email to Anik’s support address…so far no reply.
Kudo’s to the NetKnuckelhead. I dig your comments and blog.
Thanks for leaving your comments, JD. You’re exactly right about 500 people sharing 15 niche websites competing against each other. I used to buy into crap like this but after a few thousand dollars and many wasted hours, I learned. (I never claimed to be a quick learner!)
I should have read the comments before I purchased the “three hour to riches”program. It might work for someone else but I did not see it working for me. The problem now is they are not refunding the money.
Hello CA…..I just sent you an email about the “three hour to riches” program. I’m interested in learning more about it and about your problem getting a refund. I’ll try to help if there is anything I can do. Check your email. And thank you for visiting and for your comment.
Hi NetKnucklehead
Your name amuses me – I MUST be related to you lol. I’m a Net Knucklehead as well trying to find SOMETHING online that’s legit and will generate income. I’m SO glad I came across your blog as I was saving up my funds to purchase Anik’s Income Kickstart pgm! Whew – THANK you and the peeps who commented here – you saved me from wasting my heard earned – scarce cash. Thank you THANK YOU.
I’ve spent a lot to learn online techniques – am involved with an MLM which I LOVE but need to find a system to really grow it and find targeted truly interested peeps.
I will be visiting your blog and give my input as well WHEN I find the golden ticket lol.
Cheers to all our success!
Hey Bell…..Thanks for stopping by. I am in the process of trying a couple of online money-making ideas that I will post about after I have some results. Good luck with your MLM and other biz ventures. And yes, please do keep us posted on your success.
Hi Everyone,
I purchased Anik Sengal’s Income Kickstart program a couple of hours ago and I have already submitted three support tickets to customer support. I listened to Anik’s video last night until very early in the morning and when I got up today I purchased the Kickstart program. I am an educator and I am getting a Master’s degree in Information Technology so I asked myself how hard could this be? Well, Anik promised 15 niches with 15 opt-in pages and 52 email newsletters included in the $500 program along with various bonuses. Anik does about 3-5 minutes of training per training video and the rest of the training is either done by someone who mumbles and does not display what he is doing as he goes through the steps for the opt-in page set up or we are left to study the training on our own via PDF files. Anik and the “trainer” both refer people to Script Lance for further explanation at $15.00 a page. Anik repeatedly states, “You are going to run into ‘obstacles’, but push through them”. He also says that this is what separates the successful marketers from the unsuccessful marketers (“obstacles”). The only obstacle I will push through is getting my money back, my time will not be given back to me.

Hello everyone
Cheryl sadly your story is all too common..all I can say is best of luck in trying to get your money back. I subscribed to Anik’s offer as I run an Internet marketing company in the UK and from time to time I like to see what these so called “guru’s” are up to. The best way to find out if these guy are legit is to use there blog which they publish along with their sales push and always ask one question..if they said it was FREE ask them to confirm that it is FREE. Those running a scam won’t reply and you won’t even see your comment posted on their blog. Jusy take a look at the coments posted on this particular offer..are any of them anything other than positive..?

I sold this as an affiliate. Guess what, they stiffed me and never paid the commissions that I earned.
Still trying to get paid from the sales in Feb.
NEVER trust anything to do with LURN inc.
Well, I purchased ( or should I say ) donated 497.00 to Anik Singal’s Income Kick Start Program. I found the online tutorials to be poor quality and extremely confusing. It was difficult to extract the files from the site .All this hype about 15 niches, websites ready to go for you, lists that will be yours blah blah blah. The initial marketing segment for IKS ( yes where anik was running his business from the ICU ) was EXTREMELY misleading. It is almost as though they structure their teachings and lessons to be confusing so that they can potentially take more money from you in the future if you let them “hold your hand”. This way his company, LURN can potentially increase its revenues via residual income tactics. This was proven when anik singal put out another video recently to his 1st 500 iks students and how he congratulated those who have succeeded and offered those that are still struggling the “hand holding” opportunity if you wanted it. So, I sent my name and phone number and received a phone call within 10 minutes from one of anik signals representatives.
By the way, 500 IKS students paying 497.00 each adds up to 248,500 dollars in revenues.
So, I get this call I have a very long conversation explaining to this rep how misleading this LURN and IKS learning course is. We talk for about 15 or 20 minutes. When I asked this rep. just how many of the 500 are really successful, his response was “5″.. thats right 500-495 = 5.. Just a paltry 5. 495 according to someone from LURN were not successful ( my how Anik Signals 2nd video did not really be honest about the actual numbers here but rather made it sound really soooo upbeat and for those who were struggling, he would make is team available to help and hold your hand ). And guess how much they wanted for that service? $3000.00 .. Thats right. 3 ( three !! ) Grand !!!!!
So, I go on to make a business proposition to this LURN rep and explain that if mr. Singal is genuine and an honest and truthful business man, he would respond to me personally either via phone or e mail. I already own 2 businesses and this was just something I thought I would try. Well, of course, the rep. who said he would send additional FREE videos to my e mail address never sent the info and of course, I never got an communication from Mr. Singal. Gee, I wonder why? Perhaps he is not as genuine, honest and truthful as he makes himself out to be.
I offered Mr. Singal a very generous business proposition based on the premise that he personally train me in this so called “affiliate marketing” business. In fact, any business man with a legitimate business of selling products such as LURN does should have found it very difficult to turn away my proposal IF what they are preaching and selling is genuine.
But, still no call or contact and in fact LURNS reps keep calling as if they never spoke to me before and I keep telling them my situation and still no links to the free additional videos and no contact from Mr. Singal.

In the terms of use, which you are asked to read and agree to by checking that little box before purchasing the program, there is a little chapter about the REFUND policiy:
You will have 10 calendar days from the time you purchase to request a full refund. Cancellation and refund requests must be sent in writing. Send your refund requests to support@incomekickstart.com, or submit a ticket using the “support” link within the Income Kickstart interface.
For everyone, who has had the program longer than 10 days you may want to speak with your credit card company, and explain the good reasons, why you think the company should refund the money. (i.e, not keeping the promise of proper support etc)
