> Source: [Hotmart Affiliate Marketing: The Lie and Deception](https://youtube.com/watch?v=3f7WI7fQuA4)

## Summary

This video exposes the deceptive marketing tactics used by some affiliates and mentors in the Hotmart affiliate marketing space, who promise quick and easy money. The creator, an affiliate himself, criticizes the pressure and unrealistic expectations placed on newcomers, emphasizing that affiliate marketing is a job requiring time, effort, and dedication. He calls for honesty and transparency in how the business is sold.

### Key Points

- **Promises of Easy Money** [00:02] — The video starts by showing search results for 'Hotmart money' on YouTube, filled with thumbnails promising $400 per week, $3,000 per month, and $2,500 withdrawals, highlighting the prevalence of exaggerated earnings claims.
- **Affiliates and Mentors Selling Promises** [01:12] — The creator notes that not only affiliates but also mentors and courses sell promises like 'earn $700 in 7 days' or 'guaranteed $2,000 a month,' creating pressure on newcomers to believe it's easy and fast money.
- **Creator's Stance** [02:06] — The creator clarifies he is an affiliate and does not want to damage the business, but feels obligated to tell the truth about deceptive practices that harm the industry.
- **Newcomers' Experience** [03:02] — Newcomers see only success stories and profits, making failure seem nonexistent. They are drawn into funnels and free classes, eventually pressured to buy expensive courses.
- **Marketing's Target** [04:24] — The creator states that the goal of marketing is the affiliate themselves, constantly being sold courses and training. He emphasizes that the value of a course lies in mentorship, not just recorded content.
- **Call for Comments** [06:59] — He invites viewers to share their experiences with funnels, results, losses, and courses, promising to answer all comments.
- **Harsh Reality** [07:39] — Affiliate marketing is not easy or fast money. Newcomers need to learn many things (organic strategies, hosting, domains, landing pages, pixels) and won't earn $2,000 in a week without a large following.
- **Honesty Over Promises** [09:03] — The creator explains he loses sales by being honest, requiring potential students to contact him first to assess their commitment, unlike others who promise quick riches.
- **Hotmart's Stance** [11:38] — Hotmart, as an education platform, wants to distance itself from promises of guaranteed earnings, and the creator blames course creators for replicating misleading funnels.
- **Final Advice** [13:01] — Affiliate marketing requires study, effort, and critical thinking. Surround yourself with honest affiliates and be wary of those selling quick, easy money.

### Conclusion

The creator concludes that affiliate marketing with Hotmart is a legitimate job that requires dedication, not a get-rich-quick scheme. He urges viewers to be critical of exaggerated promises and to seek honest mentors.

Hotmail, or are you just starting to learn about Hotmail? Well, look at this carefully. We're on YouTube, and I've searched "Hotmail money." Let's see what appears: thumbnails of $400 per week, three thousand dollars per
month, it says. Here, our friend added invent anymore. A thousand dollars with your YouTube channel! Yes,
thousand dollars with your YouTube channel! Yes, overnight he added one and more sales, withdraw $2,500, and more sales, and so on.
If I keep scrolling down, well, promises, promises, and more promises. Well, this is my channel, just to be on the safe side. I want to make it clear that I don't have
any thumbnails on my videos where I'm talking about you earning a certain amount of money in a certain amount of time. You can take a look at my YouTube channel, and you'll see that you won't find anything like that. These are
affiliates just like you and me. But the worst part is that mentors and some courses are also selling these kinds of promises: you'll earn $700  Dollars in seven days that will make two thousand dollars in a month, I guarantee it, and so on,
I guarantee it, and so on, promises, promises, and more promises. It doesn't mean they'll achieve it, and it doesn't mean it will happen. Of course, it's possible, but the problem is that it's creating a lot of pressure on
newcomers, making them think this is easy and fast money. And let me tell you, it's neither easy and fast money. And let me tell you, it's neither easy nor fast. I've wanted to do this program for a long time, but it's very delicate because I don't
want to give the impression that I want to or am trying to damage the business. I'm part of this business; I'm an affiliate within affiliate marketing with Hot Mark,
my words and what I mean are perfectly clear. shouldn't be on Meta looking for Macsa Kender's dirty laundry on Instagram,
Macsa Kender's dirty laundry on Instagram, Facebook, and all that. I'm looking at it all, and I repeat, my intention is not to damage the business. I'm telling the truth. I'm an affiliate,
and I owe it to the affiliates, so they're the ones damaging the business with these promises. So, Hot Mark affiliate marketing, they're deceiving you. Are you interested? I'm Mago García, and  This is digital money,
digital money, things are about to get exciting.
with Hot Mark, or if you're just starting to discover what Hot Mark affiliate marketing is, this has happened to you too. Suddenly, one day you start learning about affiliate marketing, what Hot Mark is, and you begin looking at content,
blogs, and especially videos, and it's all about profits, profits, and everything is wonderful. They paint it all very beautifully, and besides, registering with Hot Mark is completely free—what do you have to lose? You
hadn't even considered buying any courses; you're researching, you're seeing what it's all about, but you're amazed by the enormous results everyone is getting. Everyone who's successful is online, and it
seems like failure doesn't exist in affiliate marketing with Hot Mark. As I was saying, you weren't thinking about buying any courses, especially not $500 or $1,000. Where does that money go? I can learn this for free on YouTube.
But in the end, without realizing it, you start getting caught up in funnels. Ads start appearing on Facebook and YouTube, and above all, you start meeting mentors who have courses and invite you to free classes.
Everything's perfect.  That's when you start to decide that if you want results, you need to enroll in these training programs. Please listen carefully. There's a phrase I always say: the goal and the
object of marketing is you, it's me, it's us—those of us involved in affiliate marketing. Ultimately, the word says it all: marketing. And constantly being sold so many things, so many courses and training programs. Don't
forget that the object and the objective of marketing is you. There are dozens of courses on the market eagerly waiting for you to join them. eagerly waiting for you to join them.
Some are inexpensive, others are incredibly expensive, and that's not bad at all. It's not bad in the slightest. I always advocate, and will continue to advocate, advocate, and will continue to advocate, investing money in knowledge.
We're really mistaken in how we perceive these courses, and I want to speak up in their favor. These courses are expensive, many of them, but you have to keep in mind that the value isn't in the
course itself, in the recorded classes. The value of any course lies in the mentorship. And there are courses that are certainly expensive, some very expensive, but they include mentorship. There are mentorship sessions several times a week, and if
we do the math...  We run the numbers, and it's not really that profitable for them, or rather, it is profitable for them. But let me make myself clear: these days, paying a mentor, paying for mentorship, private lessons, whatever you want to call it, is
really expensive. So, if there's a reason why some courses are expensive, it's because of those mentorships. Therefore, I'll always agree that's not the problem, nor is it the cost of those courses. Whether they're expensive or costly is
a big difference; I'm not getting into that. What I criticize is the way the business is sold to you. Besides, I've created and am part of many courses over these two and a half years that I've been in affiliate marketing, and they've all been very useful to me,
and all the mentors are great, well, except for one that I have a certain grudge against, a certain dislike for, that I don't like. I mean, he's

While you're watching this program, you have the comments section. While you're watching and listening, write a comment. Have you focused on any kind of funnels? Are you getting results with Hotman? Have you
lost money running campaigns? Have you enrolled in a course that hasn't been what you expected?  You were expecting us to share, and I'm going to answer absolutely everything, as I always do. So, while you're looking at this information,
write a comment about your personal situation. I'm very interested so that we can all share the numbers that many of them are promising. I'm not saying they ca n't be achieved, of course they can,
examples of the harsh reality if you are or decide to enter affiliate marketing with Hotmark because it's easy and fast money. Let me tell you, as I've said before, that you're completely deceived. You won't
last a month if you don't enjoy what you 're doing and you're only here because they sell you on the idea that it's quick money. Let me also tell you that you won't last a month. You have to know many things: many organic payment strategies,
hosting, domain, landing page, pixel, a pixel, a million things. And rest assured, if you've just started in affiliate marketing, you're not going to earn
two thousand dollars in a week, in seven days, unless you have a huge community of followers and suddenly you offer them an affiliate program for a course or a product, and many of them...  Don't buy them, because
as I said before, you first need to understand the strategies, you need to know how, simply put, and above all, how to implement them. Many people just watch the course but do nothing, so how are you going to get results? Then
you criticize the courses. You have plenty to criticize, but if you're not doing anything, what else has been received? [Music] So don't let them fool you. You're not going to
get any of these results if you're here for money and you don't know what here for money and you don't know what this is about. I guarantee it. I'm
expensive ones. In fact, I'm involved in many courses; I'm part of an affiliate program for many courses to keep learning strategies and, above all, to help the people who join me to get results
faster. As a mentor, I have to help them. If I sign up, then are they also learning these expensive courses, like online seminars? Of course, like online seminars? Of course, the type of
sales funnels they create and what they say in these courses isn't under my control, nor is how the affiliates sell it—two thousand dollars a week, I don't know how much. It's not under my control. What I control is how I sell it. I've lost a lot.
Sales, because if you follow me or know me, you know I always say " contact me." Below each video, you have my WhatsApp number; you have everything you need to contact me if you're interested in a course.
Because first, I need to get to know you, I need to know where you are and if you 're really hooked on this. So, there have been many people I've seen who ask me questions and find out all about the school week. "Hey, I'm
involved in digital businesses, including Goldman Sachs, and no, I'm not going to tell you how much I earn because that's not the question you should be asking." These are people who come in incredibly brainwashed, and it's my duty to
tell them the truth: this isn't easy money, it's not fast money, and you don't earn automatically. It's true that this is wonderful, but understand what I'm saying. Therefore, not everyone ends up very happy and they don't buy from
Miel using my link, but they go with our person who promises them a lot, lots of bonuses, lots of gifts, and lots of background music. Then, after 7 days, when they've secured their membership, they abandon them because of a
few people.  that then they can contact me today help me that you have abandoned me documents has left that I don't know how much I already warned you and I told you the truth I was honest with you you didn't want to join well that's
your problem for having joined with me with her Goldman is an education platform and doesn't want to be involved in its
brand being related to earn two thousand dollars a week I guarantee it earn 300 euros a day and all that kind of thing and you have already seen the results many programs are already opening their affiliation master traffic and all these
stories you can already sell these money affiliate marketing courses sell them without having to buy them first which I think is wonderful because if we edit what they are calling this family Goldman is an
education platform and wants to completely distance itself from that type of funnels in the end the creators of these courses are more to blame for the type of funnels they make really doing is replicating what they have
learned from the mentors of these courses so in the end this is a real mess courses so in the end this is a real mess take sides  Please speak honestly. We can create sales funnels, we can do affiliate marketing.
sales funnels, we can do affiliate marketing. promise things that are practically impossible when we don't even know what a pixel is, damn it! In short, affiliate marketing with Hoffman is
truly wonderful. It's a job because it is a job, and as such, you have to dedicate time, effort, and dedication to it. And I always say one thing: you don't need to
open up, expand, and understand what they're need to study; it's about understanding the strategies, but it requires effort.
Be critical of what they tell you, what they sell you, and how they sell it to you. Surround yourself with affiliates because there's strength in numbers. I hope you liked today's program. It really wasn't easy; I'd been planning it for a long time,
but I didn't know how to approach it so as not to seem like I was trying to interfere with my own business, with what I do. I hope my words were perfectly clear and that it's understood that what I'm
criticizing isn't courses or expensive courses; it's the way they sell to us and deceive people with...  This is simple, fast, and easy, and it doesn't mean you travel the world and make money. While that's all well and good, you need to
understand it. It's not fair to force a funnel of thousand-dollar courses on people who don't even have Instagram or know Facebook exists because they have to start from scratch. They wo
n't see results in a week, two, or three. It's more complicated than that. Getting started with Facebook, beyond all the fights we have with Facebook, can take months, or even months. So, I'll
talk about Facebook later. I hope you liked the program. Leave a comment. As I said before, your opinion matters a lot to me, and I value it. Give it a like if you liked it. And if you think, or anyone is thinking, that I'm
attacking the business by criticizing a course or a mentor or whatever, that's not the case. In the next program, when it's uploaded, I'm going to defend
affiliate marketing. Here, we're going to attack the way some people sell, but there are certain people who are lying and deceiving us, making us believe that this is a total scam, and it's not.  That's right,
so in the next show I'm going to defend affiliate marketing. defend affiliate marketing. which you're not going to say here.
Money. A huge hug, I adore you. Thanks to the new Dark Marco to the new Dark Marco and the course. The mentor Marco has a and the course. The mentor Marco has a certain grudge against, it's
Molina. For more... ah [Music]
