What is Zingbank about? – Insider info
Zingbank is a pretty new product on the “make money online” market launched by the internet marketer named Jamie Lewis. A guy who have created some products in the past as well, most famous maybe from his course (Domainers elite) on how to buy and sell domains… and from a(classy) video where he throws hundred dollar bills in the air in a “hip-hop video kind of way” with terrible music playing in the background.
The video below is not the one where he throws money in the air as I didn´t find it, but the hype is “real” in this video as well:
Zingbank is his new very hyped product that promises you “gold and green” in no-time.
However, you might want to pass, keep reading and you will understand yourself why :o)
How does it work?
Zingbank will provide you with “discount offers” of different kinds from Clickbank products, then they will also provide you with “done for you” website templates that you can attach to your offer, in order to make sales and get signups (opt-ins) to your own list if you would like to.
The problem is that most of the sites don´t even work + the sites do not match the offers you get from them… So you are going to have A LOT of work in front of you only to fix 1 site…
Who is Jamie Lewis?
I have to say, that when I first saw the promo video for Zingbank Jamie seems very trustworthy and I actually for one second (even though the claims were a bit too good to be true) that this guy actually have made an awesome product, that at least came close to the outrageous claims of making you big bucks in no time with a “done for you system” and all of that good old sales nonsense :o)
However, I managed to find some other videos with him and those made me… well, how can I put it… “not so sure” anymore lol!
Can you really trust this guy? Continue reading for my final take on this Zingbank product.
What you will get (from inside the member’s area)
What you will get inside of the member’s area depends on what upsells you get, but basically, it is the “one step developer” you will get as well as the “Academy” (if you buy it) and the “domain mining software”
Below is a screenshot from inside my member’s area:
Is it as good as it claims to be? (Insider info)
Always when I purchase a product, in order to make a review of it I make sure that I “fly under the radar” and never reveal to the people I buy from that I am a pretty savvy guy in this industry… I am no newbie in any way in this industry and I have been doing this stuff for many years now… And I have seen it all… So I always pretend to be some kind of a “newbie” to really see if they take advantage of that and try to “trick me” and such…
To make a long story short:
What I can confidently and honestly say to you is that when they claim that this product will work great for beginners is that it is a completely false claim… Why? Well, because it won´t even work very good for someone with a lot of experience… Unless you have a degree in copywriting.
Do you feel me?
Is the price fair?
Absolutely not! Sure, if the product would be as great as it claims to be absolutely, it would be worth the price tag attached to it… But unfortunately, it does not live up to the claims… at all.
How good is the support inside the member’s area?
Something I always put a lot of weight on when it comes to the support system of a company or platform is if they got live-chat support or not. Does Zingbank have this? No, they don´t and that is a minus (at least in my humble opinion).
The support they offer you is by e-mail and it is not a 24/7 support I can tell you that, you are going to have to wait for your answers… And you are probably going to have to send a lot of emails back and forward with support to “fix” your problems…
The problems you “might” get is that the offers don´t fit with the website template you have picked… And when you finally fit the offer with a template (that works) you are (most likely) going to find that your offer does NOT fit with the written sales copy…
Is Zingbank a scam?
So, is Zingbank a scam? Well, I have stopped called things a scam, due to many treats of different kinds. So many times when I create reviews like this one, for example, I have to bite my tongue (even though I want to call stuff scam) and instead say that I do NOT recommend it. Not saying that this is the case (that I want to call Zingbank a scam) in this case… But just saying…
What I will say though is that I do NOT recommend Zingbank as it simply does not live up to what it claims to be… at all.
The pros and cons
It is always wise to compare a products positive sides against its negative to get a better overall view of the “opportunity” before you make a decision. As always in my reviews, I provide you with some clear points on both sides of the spectrum
The good
- Builds on a simple basic idea (that you can learn on other places for free by the way)
The bad
- The idea it builds on needs A LOT more to it than you get
- The claims fail to live up to their expectations
- The price is WAY to high for the value you get
- The support is NOT very fast (or helpful)
Are there better alternatives out there?
Oh yes! I would absolutely have to say that I know of at least 20 other alternatives that are way better ways to go if you plan to make a killing online and become financially free from doing different kinds of online business. It depends what you want, however, some are better than others and some are absolutely more costly than others, many times paying more for something does NOT guarantee that you will get more value. In fact, many times it is the complete opposite, not always but many times.
==> If you are more of an “outgoing type” this is what I would recommend for you!
==> If you are more of an “introvert” then you need to check out this!
P.S.
Even if you are outgoing or introvert you might want to look at both as I just did a quick generalization here, am absolutely sure that you can succeed in both no matter if you are introvert or not.
Final words and verdict on Zingbank
Rating: NOT Recommended
Overall rating: (1.5 / 5)
Ok, I think I have made my point pretty clear on this one, not only do I not recommend beginners to buy Zingbank but I actually not recommend ANYONE to buy Zingbank. Absolutely not. I mean, the whole thing is that you are going to drive traffic to a high converting offer they claim…
and sure that works, however, what you get is NOT high converting… So you are better of learning how to build a funnel on your own (my #1 recommendation can teach you that) and then go ahead and buy traffic to that offer (like Zingbank tells you to do) or by driving fee traffic to it (like my #1 recommendation tells you to do).
In short, please do NO fall for Zingbank, it simply isn´t what it claims to be.
Ok, so now what?
I would absolutely not recommend Zingbank to anyone, to be honest, I mean, where is the funnel? Driving traffic to a website with a capture page popping up will NOT convert well… No matter what offer you put in front of the traffic. Don´t you believe me? Well, go ahead and try it out yourself, but please do not come back here and tell me I didn´t warn you.
What you need is a real funnel, at least 3 steps before the visitor is ready to purchase… at least for maximum conversion… Even then, you are going to need a pretty good offer and also a website (and copy) that fits your offer… Zingbank got none of it.
Not sure what is going on here… I mean why didn´t the persons behind it make the effort and actually fixed those things for this product, in that case, it would have been a hundred times better.
But maybe it is like the owner himself said in one of the sales videos, that this is going to be his retirement… and that he plans to make as much money as possible… With minimum effort it seems… and I would maybe not say scam people but absolutely misleading and giving out completely false claims on what the product will do for you…
Hmm, maybe I just called it a scam in other words… Not really, but it just comes out like something it is not…
However, you get the website templates, and there is some support so I guess it is not completely false but the sales video is completely hyped up and does NOT live up to the expectations it awakens, that is 100% for sure.
In short, I would recommend a hundred things over Zingbank, below you can compare it to one of my absolute #1 recommendations to see the value you get from both (keep in mind one of them are FREE to try) for as long as you want:
It´s like starting at the wrong end…
Especially if you are a beginner, Zingbank might probably work, IF you buy all the upsells (thousands of dollars), then you also have to pay to drive traffic to yourZingbank offers… but then again wouldn´t you want to learn free ways of getting traffic instead of having to spend money to get it?
Below I have compared Zingbank to what I would consider is one of the best (if not the best) place to start your online journey:

Good Day, John and thanks for this heads-up.
I’m always amazed at how these snake-oil salesmen keep coming up with new ways to sell their “oil”. I must admit that if you listen to them and have not experienced being taken for the proverbial ride, they can easily suck you into their den of tricks.
Fantastic claims and a long line of upsells are two easy points to look for. Fast-talkers, irritating, loud music and shiny objects are also part of this trickery.

Hello and thank you for this honest and informative review John. I really appreciate it. It is another one of those products where they promise you big money for a very short time. I do not know but Click Bank seems to be number one place for these kind of scamy and shady products.
I have seen so many $17 range products made by the same person only with different name. They usually promise you big money and after purchasing you are offered upsells you do need in order to recieve full product. Zingbank is like that.
Like you said, selling something that can be found for free. I noticed you stopped calling a product like this scam but I did not. This scam should be avoided and you are a good person for helping others staying away and loosing money.
Thank you for that.
Strahinja.

Hello John, very good and informative article about Zingbank. In the flood of online making money platforms, it is very helpful that someone discovers if some program could be scam, as we see in this case. There are just too many cons here, I wouldn`t join them. As you said, there are much better alternatives. I like your review, thanks for sharing with us!

Thanks, John for this review, it’s very clear that Zingbank is not worth the money and effort. Newbies like me should be directed to the affordable and effective platform that will not waste our time and resources.
I know many are happy to encounter this review and are spared from wasting their time with Zingbank.
