I was checking ClickBank the other day and I have found that this product is on the market for a couple of months already.
And It seems to be quite popular according to the ClickBank site.
In fact, it is in the Top 10.
So I wanted to know if I can learn something new, so I can share it with you guys.
I went ahead and bought the product, went through the members’ area, and also I’ve checked out the upsells.
To save your time, I can tell you right here that it does not worth it to pay for this “training”.
There will be not much to say about the Explode My Payday (EMP) since there is not any educational platform whatsoever. At least what I have found out.
Besides the sales video with fake testimonials, there is only a section where you should sign up using your email. Apparently, you should be sending traffic (to ” them” ) and make money automatically. 🙄
There is not such a system as an automated generator of income.
You probably have your doubts about EMP by now. Right, the entire product seems suspicious.
If you are still curious about this product then please bear with me. It might be fun…
Name: Explode My Payday
Website: www.explodemypayday.com (I am not associated with this product)
Price: Advertised Price $47 + Upsells
Owners: Meaghan Harper (allegedly)
Product Overview
When you watch the sales video, you might get the impression that this is an awesome product, and it will help you to reach $1,000 a week, maybe more. You can check it by yourself by clicking on the website above. You will see the following screen:
That particular impression fades away very soon, once you take a better look at their website.
Just look around the page and you see the “warning” at the top saying
“We are closing today’s registration: day, month, year Act Now!”
Well yeah of course. That date keeps changing. (check also the screenshot above)
I took the screenshots 2 days in a row.
As you see in the screenshot below, this offer is still on. Isn’t that “funny”? 🙂
I bet when you click on the link above, it’ll show you the same message, only the date will be the same as in your calendar.
The Good & the Bad
There are not really Pros to this product – not that I am aware of. But I will add some notes related to the product as general points.
As I discover just lately, they even offer you a discount, so the starting price is then something over 20 bucks.
- In Testimonials, they show you that “User testimonials are not representative of average earnings”
- Red flags are visible right after landing on their page
- They offer a discount
- Low-Quality Product
- Too Many Red Flags (Fake Testimonials, Fake Scarcity)
- Upsells up to $300
- Impossible Income Claims
Who Is It For?
I believe this product is intended for beginners. But I would not recommend it to anybody. Please keep away from it.
There is no value in it.
And I would not recommend giving them your email either. If you take a closer look, you see that you agree to:
“you agree to us renting or selling the data you provided above.”
“Explode My Payday” Tools & Training
There is no training, no tools available for you where you can be taught something valuable.
But they promise you that you only need to work 15-20 minutes a day and you can earn hundreds if not thousands of dollars a week.
They also claim something in this manner: as soon as you put your name and email, we already created a website.
In fact, I have cut their sales videos, so you can watch the short version of it.
(full video available here)
I am not sure if you had a chance to check the 1st sales video with the testimonials. I have made a screenshot and uploaded the photo of one particular lady. You can then right-click on the image and then select “Search Google for image” – let’s see what you get.
Is that her 1st video as she says?
I doubt it.
She appears in other videos as well, with the same dress in the same room. She is just a hired actress.
So why on earth would somebody who has a digital product to sell, use actors for testimonials?
And if you keep checking google, you soon find out that very similar product(s) are being sold – with a different name. They have a very similar pattern as for example Ecom Cash Crusher.
Support – There Is No Real Support
Once you paid for it, they declare that you will get support on a phone…
The reason why you would need support is to ask for your money back.
In that case, the best way is to contact ClickBank directly. There is a dedicated section on ClickBank. Just go to Order Support, you follow the instructions and within a few business days, you get your money back.
Price Structure of Explode My Payday
You see the front-end price right at the beginning. That is already mentioned above $47 (to be fair, as mentioned you can get a discount of $20 off)
Then there are 2 upsells. I have found out the sales funnel for you by checking on their affiliate offer. That is basically information for marketers who want to promote this misleading platform.
Based on the commission they might earn, I am going to calculate the upsell prices.
The first upsell is called Big Bundle. Their potential customer pays for this one-time offer close to $195.
Second, upsell they call Campaigns, and that costs close to $97.
My Final Opinion of This Explode My Payday
It is ridiculous what kind of products are available on ClickBank. It is not easy to find a legit program on ClickBank. One may ask if there is a way how to make money with ClickBank.
Well, choose a product which is valuable and people will benefit from it. That way you can be sure that this product will last much longer. You can then get closer to the dream of everyone which is a passive income.
They even claim that a person with no knowledge can earn $1,000 a day…
Knowing what the EMP is about combined with the unrealistic claim they make, there is only one thought in my mind:
On top of everything – this product has been on the market for quite a time already. Only it had a different name.
And if you think about the sales video, it is very cheesy for the year 2019. It is like they have come out with this idea and they just keep promoting the same stuff over and over again.
It is funny, that they do not bother to put some effort into it, to make it more professional. But actually, that is a good thing 🙂 -> we can say right away that this is BS.
Do you think there are still people who buy such a thing? Let me know please in the comment section, I am really curious.
I Have an Alternative For You – The (Probably) Best Educational Platform
If you are looking for a way how to build a sustainable online business the first thing you need to have is a website. Your website is like a headquarter.
It is your office where you do all the planning, where you invite your customers (meaning visitors coming to your website), and help them.
Please stay with me – building a website these days is nothing comparing 10 years ago (or even 5 years ago)
Then you need to learn how to monetize your website. There are many courses also or tutorials, and videos material on how to start an online business. They are all in unanimous agreement, saying start as an affiliate marketer.
You may learn something here, something there, you also may purchase a $1,000 6 weeks course on how to set up your business. And that is perfectly fine.
For those of us who need a little hint or a little bit more organized long-term training, there is one platform that is worthy of a try.
It is called Wealthy Affiliate and you can sign up for Free. Your starter account is valid for 7 days and you can explore the platform, and check how it works.
After these 7 days, you can still keep your starter account but your access will be limited.
But this week should be enough to decide whether to leave or to upgrade to a Premium Membership.
In case you have some questions, just drop me a line in a comment section (the best would be below the Wealthy affiliate review post) and I will answer you as soon as I can.

VERDICT:
Please stay away from “Explode my Payday”.
Considering the fake scarcity at the very beginning and fake testimonials – these mere facts give us enough to consider this “training” a scam. Well maybe it is not technically a pure scam, but it certainly is not far from it.
If you truly want to know how to build an online business I recommend for you click on this link below. It is not commercial.
You can join this platform called Wealthy Affiliate for FREE. And to be perfectly honest with you, the Premium Membership costs $350 per year. To give you a bit different perspective it is less than $1 a day.
I understand that it might be quite a lot to pay for training. Therefore you have these 7 days where you can test it out and eventually decide whether you want to continue in your education or you want to find other ways how to make money online.
That is perfectly OK with me.
If you have any sort of questions, let me know in the comment section below.
Thank You For Reading,

“Amazing blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost
on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices
out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thank you!”
I know what you mean 🙂
I remember when I wanted to start out my own website. My experience with WordPress was not that good, but somehow I liked that platform so I stuck with that.
For me, the problem was, I did not know how to create a website from scratch. (my knowledge was limited to some editing or adding pictures on the already existed website).
I was searching and could not decide what direction to go (eCommerce, affiliate marketing, Amazon…)
Then I found one particular platform offering complete training on Affiliate Marketing with a large community.
But I didn’t want to be part of such a big system.
About 3 weeks later I realized that I just could not do it on my own.
So I went back to that platform saying to myself, that I give it a shot.
So I joined the WA (Wealthy Affiliate – I wrote a review about that as well)
It was a good decision. This entire website (setaffiliatebusiness.com is the result of the training I got at WA and my (up and down) effort.
Also what I found great about WA, they do not try to be salesy or anything like that.
They do have a 7-day free trial where you can sign up for free training. You only need your email address.
I would suggest, to try it out on your own – at least it may give you a direction which way you wanna go.
If you don’t want to sign up for any platform, my recommendation is to go on with WordPress.
If you need any help. there are tons of videos/tutorials on YouTube.
My recommendation is to start with a free theme. Keep your site simple, one-column blog.
Choose your niche and start creating content. Be consistent -> google likes the consistency:)
Don’t worry about the graphics yet. It is better to have a clean, simple website with content than a flashing, “full HD video – fancy colorful one” with zero to none content 🙂
(unless you are a graphic designer and you offer your service)
Well, that’s it from my side.
if you have a further question let me know. – I will be more than happy to answer them as well.
Cheers 🙂
Mike
Thanks for making a review on explode my payday, I appreciate your selfless service on making this informative review, it is indeed an eye opener, Many people trying to make money online has fallen a victim of this circumstances but with this post I’m guided to know this site isn’t worth my time and money when I come across it. Much appreciated
Thank you for you comment Seun. Always glad to help
Cheers
Hi Mike,
It is so sad that people just keep coming up with ways to either “steal” data or rip people off of their money. I am grateful to people like you who take the time to do a research and write a review to expose scams like Explode My Payday. Newbies like us are saved from falling victim to these people.
Do people still buy?? Of course, newbies with no knowledge and experience who are also desperate or greedy and see that kind of promise offer, would throw caution to the wind and buy it, not knowing that they would actually get nothing. And these are the targets of scam products or services like Explode My Payday.
Thank you for your comment. Glad to help.
Yes, apparently people still buy such products. Hopefully few days after the purchase they realize that it is a low quality and they ask for the refund.
Good afternoon MikeI have learned a lot of unknown information in your article written about Affiliate Business. It is astonishing to earn such a huge amount of money in such a short time through Explode My Payday. It’s true that we are not even checking the training platform properly. Due to the lack of adequate and accurate knowledge, those who are a beginner in affiliate business derailed from the early stage. I think that after realizing your objectives, Explode My Payday is such a product that is intended for beginners indeed. Thank you so much for sharing such a remarkable post. I already bookmarked this page.Regards,Ranao.
Thanks a lot Ranao for your comment.
People do need to do the research before they decide to invest in the online education. If there is no free trial, it is always important to check the money back guarantee policy.
Thank you Mike for bursting this scam. A lot of people would have fallen for this scam all in the name of making money online. It takes someone with an open and unbiased mind to recognize scams on the internet. it is saddening that they have to use an actress in promoting their scam and they even have the gut to sell people email address. Going forward, we all need to do a due diligence check on any website promising money making oportunities.
you have saved a lot of people with this great piece.
Absolutely agree with you Tolu.
I am glad to help
cheers
There were many online scam that just waste precious time of people and it makes one frustrated and depressed,some are free and some you need to register with a token amount but most of them use people just to generate traffic to their websites,which the person registered could not benefit anything from it,am a victim of such before and one must be very careful of such online business.
Absolutely.
With many products you do not have a choice to try them out for free. Would be great if e-business learning platforms offer you a free trial. But Most of ClickBank products do not have this option.
you can ask for refund, but I have seen a post where they question even the return policy. So one must be careful as you say.
Cheers
I use Clickbank quite often, I promote products off them on my blog, and I’m really surprised by the amount of poor quality products like this one that they have on offer!
You would think a platform like this is more secure, but these types of offers keep on coming through. Is there are refund policy on this one?
Hi Chris,
That is also my impression – many products on ClickBank really do not deliver the value as they should be.
And even if you sort them out by popularity. I mean if the most popular products have this poor quality, what about those which are not so popular.
Explode my Payday does have the refund policy, at least if purchased through ClickBank.
Thanks alot on this review on explode my payday. I know this article will help many newbies in other not to fall into another scam program on clickbanks
it is no more new to me that majority of program on click banks are scam and they are after people earn earn money.it is always essential to look out for red flags like unrealistic claims and so on and always check people review concerning any platform. Thanks
That is correct. I am bit disappointed that ClickBank allows such companies to enter this e-business market.
It is very important to get to know such products before one decide to purchase it.
Hi Mike,
Thank you for alerting us about Explode My Payday. It’s definitely a scheme to deceit people hard earn money. Lately, l saw so many products from ClickBank that using fake testimonials, hyped income claims, fictitious owners, etc which totally disguised me. Another things that l hate is their 1 click upsell which automatically debited your account without your confirmation. Totally unethical in conduct of business.
Once again, thank you and wish you all the success.
Zayn Hiew
I appreciate your comment Zayn Hiew.
I can’t stop wondering how many such products still exist out there. I assume there are still people who fall for it, otherwise we would not find these schemes anymore.
It is not easy to find a legit training, but fortunately there are legit products providing value as well.
Thanks again
Many scammers are on the prowl, they are everywhere. I have been a victim of many in the past. And I can smell one a mile away! If it’s too good to be true ….then it’s not true. I totally agree with you Explode My Payday is a scam.The fake scarcity and testimonials – These points to the facts that it’s a scam.
Sorry to hear Jay about you being scammed. But on the other hand it is an experience. And we should try our best to use that experience so other will be able to recognize the scams.
Thanks a lot for you comment
cheers
