What Is Zukul.com?

The Zukul is a relatively new program that was released September 1st, 2014. It is heavily promoted via social media and also on other places. In the promo videos, it is very “hyped” and this review will investigate if it is as good as it sounds.

An Overview Of The Zukul Program

The Zukul program is still very new (not even 1,5 years old) in the online world. Because of that it still got those “beginner issues” and that is normal with new programs, because they need to build out and “upgrade” all the time. As the website grow further and “matures” the program will most likely to start running more smooth.

Jeremy Rush, CO-Owner of Zukul

The Zukul consists of some (pretty good) tools for Internet marketers, what kind of tools I will cover further down in this review.

I have to give some extra credit to the Zukul program for one thing, the fact that the
owners actually are active on the site and, shows interest in helping members to succeed, listen to their members, etc. This is something very rare (in similar programs online) and it is, of course, a big plus.

What You Will Get From Zukul

The Zukul program is gonna teach you about affiliate marketing. That is actually something very good to know if you planning to make money online, as it gives you the possibility to promote pretty much anything online, no matter if it is yours or not.

But, to make money from Zukul directly you are gonna have to promote the program to other people, this is also where it starts to sound a lot like an MLM business (pyramid scheme). I will come to that further down in this review. First I will show you the three different membership options to choose from.

First I will show you the three different membership options to choose from.

Membership Levels and Prices At Zukul

Beginner Level ($17.98 per month) – The beginner level is mainly for people who are new to the world of online marketing. It consists of:

  • Capture Pages
  • AutoResponder
  • Social Sniper

Intermediate Level ($50 per month) – The intermediate level is for you that already got some experience with online marketing.   It consists of:

  • Banner Creator
  • Facebook Ninja Pro
  • Social Sniper
  • Url Shortener and Link Tracker
  • Blogging System
  • AutoResponder
  • Landing Page Creator

Advanced Level ($250 per month) – This level is for you with a lot of experience in Internet marketing. It consists of:

  • Solo Ad
  • Video Submission
  • Jukebox Training
  • Blogging System
  • Banner Creator
  • Capture Pages
  • Url Shortener and Link Tracker
  • YouTube Buddy
  • Social Sniper
  • Videoscribe Suite

My advice for you would be to go with the Intermediate level, it seems to be the best deal because you ain´t gonna get enough from the beginner level and the next one is WAY to expensive. 

**But to be honest, my absolute best advice is that: You can get all of what is included in all 3 levels (and more) for a much cheaper price and also the option to try it for $0 FREE before you decide to buy anything! So I strongly recommend you to check out this review first, before buying into anything you cannot try first.

The Tools Of Zukul

Most of the tools that you get at Zukul can actually be found on other places online for free, but some of them are quite good.

  • Zukul’s Social Sniper Pro – This tool makes it possible for you to automatically post to all of your social media platforms. It automates the process and that will of course, save you some time. This is only effective if you have a lot of followers on your social media profiles of course. One big risk with this tool is that “scammers” are gonna love it.
  • Zukul’s Facebook Ninja Pro – This tool makes it possible to automate the process of posting to Facebook groups. So instead of posting to your own timeline (mostly family and friends) you can post your stuff where it will get better effect. This is a tool that scammers gonna love also unfortunately.

Blogging Platform

Zukul also provides their members with it´s own blogging platform. I don´t recommend you to use this, because if you post content there (or any other one not owned by you) then you actually let go of the ownership of the content posted. It is WAY better to build your own website. That way you have the full rights and full ownership over everything you post and create. You can still use the tools within Zukul if that is what you want.

The Compensation Plan of Zukul 

Here some more (not so good) info comes about Zukul, it is an MLM company. The affiliates of the zukul.com website are entered into a compensation matrix. Zukul will pay out on a 3 level depth, and in infinity wide.

This means in short words: MLM or pyramid scheme.

In more exact words, you get paid commissions on people you recruit, the people that they recruit, and the people that your recruit´s recruits recruit…  A classic pyramid scheme model…

You will only be able to earn commissions on the package that you got. So if you only buy the beginners package, you can only recieve commissions on from the ones you recruite from that package. If any of your recruits buy some of the other (more expensive) packages you won´t make a single cent from those… That is probably also why people buy the most expensive package.

Most people will simply buy the most expensive one, just to start building a downline under them and only promote the Zukul program itself. This is a very common phenomenon in the MLM pyramid scheme world, they simply buy into the matrix to secure their spot, then they make money of their recruits efforts.

One More (not so good) Thing

I agree on that Zukul actually have some value in the form of tools and support.

But… It also involves MLM business (pyramid scheme) and it is illegal to promote a pyramid scheme. Just so you know.

This is something that PayPal don´t accept (a good thing they don´t). PayPal do not work with Zukul, that means (most likely) that they don´t trust the compensation structure…

So I have to warn you, if PayPal is not an option to get paid (with any company online) it is a BIG red flag.

What Are The Pros and Cons of Zukul?

Everything is not bad (or good) with Zukul, here are the most obvious goods and bads:

Pros:

  • Got some value in form of learning how to promote anything online (not only Zukul itself)
  • The owners are active inside of the Zukul Community (big plus)
  • Weekly webinars

Cons:

  • Involves MLM (pyramid scheme) and that is illegal to promote!
  • Don´t have PayPal as a payment option. (BIG minus)
  • Just like any new program online it is not a smooth user experience and this is probably gonna take a while before it gets sorted out.

Why You Should/Should Not Buy A Membership

If you are a “MLM pyramid shark” then go ahead, it is still quite new on the market and you probably got a good chance to build a team “under you” and make money that way. Just like in any other pyramid scheme it is the owners and the ones that joins first that are gonna make the big money…

But if you are not into MLM pyramid schemes and just want to learn how to make money online in the form of Internet marketing and everything that goes with that. Then I don´t see any reason why Zukul is something for you.

You should know that there are much better options that offers exact the same (and more) training and tools in the subject and also for a cheaper price. You can even get free trials before you decide if you buy anything at all. It also DON´T involves any MLM pyramid scheme business.

Check out the best place (that I know of) for that!

Final Words and Verdict

Verdict: Legit

Overall rating: 4/10

I usually call most MLM pyramid schemes a scam and I almost want to call Zukul a scam too but I cannot do it, at least not yet.

Maybe I change the verdict in the future but for now, I have to call it legit. I don´t like the MLM pyramid scheme style of business but apart from that, it has some good value.

If you are willing to put in the work, it can, of course, pay off for you. There is great tools in the program that like I mentioned earlier, but you can get most of them (for free) in other places.

As I have mentioned now a couple of times in this review the compensation plan is a pyramid scheme, but it is actually (technically) possible for the ones at the “bottom of the pyramid” to make more money than the ones on top in this particular pyramid scheme. How? Well, you use the tools you get and build up an online business in your own niche.

But then again, there are better places for you to do that without taking part in a pyramid scheme and without having to pay that much.

Better (FREE to try) Alternative For You?

But as I have mentioned earlier there are much safer, cheaper, better and more experienced programs that can give you the good things you will get from Zukul, and also without any of the “MLM pyramid scheme stuff” involved at all.

As I said before I am not gonna recommend Zukul (unless you are an MLM shark) insted I will strongly recommend you to take a look at my review that got a 10/10 in overall rating.
