Is Work for $3 – WF3D a Scam ? A Review
July 2010 UPDATE
Unfortunately WF3D have changed their program. It used to be a one time payment of $3 to join which was one of my favorite features. But they have dissolved this one-time payment option and changed it into a free program to join or you can upgrade by paying $3 per month. It’s this change that has caused me to change my opinion of this program. It used to be my top recommended online MLM program because it was so easy, but that is no longer the case now that they require a yearly payment of $36 or more. I don’t think people are going to like this.
This change was obviously done in an effort to make more for the company and for everyone else, but I fear that it’s advantages may outweigh it’s disadvantages. Therefore I will now make my favorite, or top recommended online MLM 4×1 Fortune which used to be my my #2 recommended online MLM.
I like the one time payment MLMs as they don’t create any pressure to perform quickly. You never have to pay again so there’s no “sinking boat” feeling. WF3D used to be like this but it no longer is and as a result I expect the sign ups will slow down. So, have a look at 4×1 Fortune as it is still a good paying program. Hopefully they won’t change their structure in the the future.
I will leave the original WF3D review below in tact but be aware that a lot of the info is now out of date due to the recent changes but some still applies ie 3×15 structure, the “product” etc.
Original WF3D REVIEW
This has by far been the easiest and most successful of all the online businesses I have tried so far.
It’s basically a 3×15 forced matrix which means you can get spillover and spillunder. I personally haven’t received any spillover to date because I am obviously underneath someone who isn’t marketing this at all, however I have indeed provided spillover to the people who have joined me and benefited from my success in this program.
Of everything I have tried this has been the easiest of all to market. In fact the results have really taken me by surprise. I really thought Teamwork Revolution was going to be something great but then it fell apart. Then not soon after that my hopes were again re-kindled with the Teamwork Revolution Power System which started out incredible but just as quickly fizzled out. During that time this simple one time payment $3 + $0.40 alertpay fee program was ticking over making money week in and week out.
In fact this program very much reminds me of the fable of the Turtle and the Hare. You remember ? The Turtle very slowly but consistently makes his way through the race while the Hare took it in fits and spurts. In the end the Turtle won the race and that’s kind of what has happened here with my little experiment.
One huge benefit this program has over others is that you only ever make a payment once thereby limiting your expenses and investment. The monthly payment programs increase your risk but also increase the potential reward. In my case all the monthly payment programs died out and I lost money on pretty much all of them. That whole time this program was ticking away making a few dollars every week and has the potential to turn into a whole lot more. If things continue as they have done so for the past few months then after 6 months to a year this will be earning a decent monthly income.
There are even more benefits to this program than meets the eye. The product is a list builder. So you are building a mailing list of people who are interested in making money online. So not only do you earn commission from the people you recruit and the people they recruit 15 levels down, but you can also potentially earn money from promoting other good opportunities to the people who have joined your list. This is perhaps the most valuable part of this program.
Further, if you are inexperienced with online marketing this is the PERFECT program to get your feet wet and learn the ropes before trying to take on a bigger fish. Basically if you are unable to make a profit with this simple program than you might as well give up all together on online marketing because this is the easiest thing out there I think. It was the easiest for me anyways. It’s just a surprise and shock to me that it turned out to be the most profitable.
When I first joined this I spent some time marketing placing free ads on some websites. I did really well during the first couple of months where I averaged about 1 signup per day. That slowed down after 2 months for whatever reasons but my recruits were starting to get good and I was starting to see some decent spillunder as well.
Now, after about 7 months, I have personally recruited about 100 people and those in turn have brought in 400 people for a total of 500.
When you look at the number of people that is a huge success for someone starting from scratch. Remember before this I had never done any online marketing before.
The money earned from that hasn’t been much. Just over $100. However, for a measily $3 investment that’s a pretty darn good return on my money.
Have a look at the chart below :
| Months | Commission Amount | People | Income |
| 1 | $1.00 | 3 | $3.00 |
| 2 | $0.12 | 9 | $1.08 |
| 3 | $0.12 | 27 | $3.24 |
| 4 | $0.10 | 81 | $8.10 |
| 5 | $0.10 | 243 | $24.30 |
| 6 | $0.10 | 729 | $72.90 |
| 7 | $0.10 | 2187 | $218.70 |
| 8 | $0.10 | 6561 | $656.10 |
| 9 | $0.10 | 19683 | $1,968.30 |
| 10 | $0.10 | 59049 | $5,904.90 |
| 11 | $0.10 | 177147 | $17,714.70 |
This chart shows what your income would be with this program if you were to sign up only 3 people (i.e. convince 3 people to part with $3.40 with the hopes of getting a residual income) in your first month, and then do NOTHING AT ALL FOREVER. Seems crazy but it’s simple mathematics.
Now for me personally I started off pretty good because I got about 30 people in my first month, but a lot of those people didn’t do anything so the snowball didn’t roll as fast as the chart above indicates. After 7 months I should have 2187 people whereas I only have 500.
Now I think I am partly to blame for that as part of my marketing campaign was basically telling people to join me and do nothing and benefit from the spillover. So, were I only to be looking for people interested in marketing for themselves I wouldn’t have the 500 people I have now. So I’d rather have 500 people join me and do nothing than have no one join me at all.
In actual fact quite a few of those 500 people ARE marketing and doing quite well. So you never really know what type of people are going to join you in this venture but sometimes you get a nice surprise.
So now that I am not going to acheive the results I was hoping for with the chart above I have my sights on this chart :
1st Month – 1 member in downline (earning $1.50)
2nd Month – 3 members in downline (1 recruited by yourself and 1 by your downline – earning $4.50)
3rd Month – 7 members in downline (1 recruited by yourself and 3 by your downline – earning $5.36)
4th Month – 15 members in downline (earning $6.70)
5th Month – 31 members in downline (earning $8.92)
6th Month – 63 members in downline (earning $12.52)
7th Month – 127 members in downline (earning $19.32)
8th Month – 255 members in downline (earning $32.52)
9th Month – 511 members in downline (earning $58.52)
10th Month – 1023 members in downline (earning $110.12)
11th Month – 2047 members in downline (earning $212.92)
12th Month – 4095 members in downline (earning $418.12)
13th Month – 8191 members in downline (earning $828.12)
14th Month – 16383 members in downline (earning $1,647.72)
15th Month – 32767 members in downline (earning $3,286.52)
16th Month – 65535 members in downline (earning $6,563.72)
This chart shows what would happen were you and everyone else to recruit just one person per month. Yet another very attainable goal considering I recruited 60 in my first couple of months. A goal of 1 per month is easily achievable if you work at it consistently just like the Tortoise in the Tortoise and the Hare fable.
According to the chart above after 7 months you would have 127 people. Well I have about 500 so I am certainly way ahead of schedule on that one. So let’s see how things continue over the next few months. Feel free to bookmark this page and check back as I post updates.
If you decide to join this opportunity you will notice 2 upgrade options one for $10(Gold) and one for $30 (Platinum). Basically it just means you earn a little more money each time someone you recruit also upgrades. However, mathematically it is better to use the $10 to purchase the 3 positions underneath you or use the $30 to purchase the 3 positions on your 1st line and also the 9 positions on your 2nd line. This is of course completely optional but I am writing this because I feel bad for those who joined and upgraded to Gold or Platinum instead of doing what I recommend above. My recommendation pays you more commission in the long run than upgrading to Gold or Platinum. If you aren’t sure why contact me before you upgrade so I can explain in detail.
If you decide to try this opportunity out I will do my best to help you replicate the success I enjoyed. Your success is my success so don’t expect to be left out in the lurch.

Mar 15 2010 UPDATE – Had a couple of signups this week. Im now at 530 downline, just over 100 of those were referred by me and the rest was spillunder. Not growing at the rate I predicted but nevertheless still consistently growing week by week and earning money pretty much on autopilot now. A successful experiment.
Apr 9 2010 UPDATE – I am up to 542 in my downline now. It’s certainly slow growing these days but nevertheless it IS growing and always making money. I have never had to pour more money into it so that’s what makes these 1 time payment programs so appealing and successful
I just signed up under you! :)
Wonderful! I hope it is as successful for you as it has been for me. I have a downline of 544 now. Just over 100 were signed up by me personally and the rest was spillunder.
Up to 574 in my downline now. It continues to grow steadily and of course this program continues to pay. I’m pretty sure these guys are in this for the long run not a fly by night scheme like so many I have seen.
Hi – I am keen to join under you. Note that there is no more $3 join up but $10 and $117. There is also no join up facility available, it just says coming soon. This looks like one of Maryanne Meyers sites which is good news.
