Dubious about ‘digital marketing’ as a side hustle, is it all a scam? Seeing more and more of it on Instagram.

Lately I’ve been seeing a few mum tiktok/instagram accounts promoting digital marketing as a means of staying at home with your baby.

Along the lines of, ‘comment and I’ll DM you explaining how you too can start earning nearly £800 a day rather than a month… I can now be a SAHM which I have always dreamed of’. Bit elusive 🤔

Surely if it were this easy, more people would do it? What I want to know is, why are some people posting this if it is a scam? Will they be paid to promote the courses? Is it all a lie, or some element of truth to it?

It's totally a scam

They are paid to promote it. Loads of vids about how it's dead easy, amazing lifestyle and income but if you want to know the real secrets pay £eleventy thousand for this course.
If you do the course you find out there's no money in the 'thing' and instead you can only make money by flogging the course.
And so the cycle continues.

I actually work in digital marketing, & don't earn anything like that - clearly I must be doing something wrong! 😂 Total scam!

If something sounds too good to be true, it is!

Yeah it’s Scammy AF…

It's a scam that preys on a lot of women's guilt over working Vs being a SAHM. Now you can do both! Earn a fortune and be with your kids! Best of both worlds! Except you actually can't unless you're prepared to sucker hundreds of other women into also paying £££ for a phony "course". Same as all the MLMs.
