(Can you feel the cringe?)
Social Media Lead Machine Review – Blake Nubar Scam?
Social Media Lead Machine is a system by Blake Nubar teaching you how to turn your Facebook profile into a “lead trap” that leads your Facebook friends down a sales funnel to upsells and more, turning them from friends into commissions. Is this a good idea? NO!
Key Takeaways
- Beware of “Done for You” Systems: Social Lead Machine is designed to turn your Facebook profile into a “lead trap”, but it also raises red flags with its “done for you” approach and claims of quick, unrealistic earnings.
- Analyzing the Blueprint and Masterclass: The meat of Social Lead Machine is the $7 “Hack Your Facebook Profile” Blueprint and the $297 Masterclass.
- Unrealistic Revenue Claims Everywhere: When you see unrealistic claims of rapid success and “autopilot” earnings, trust your gut. It’s not going to work like that.

In my experience with affiliate marketing I’ve done my due diligence reviewing tons of different products, platforms, and “gurus”.
Some offer thorough training and a good bang for your buck, while others seem focused on emptying your bank account. I featured Social Lead Machine in my “Which Course is Best for Affiliate Marketing?” review.
Which side of the coin do you think it landed on? Let’s dive in and show you if this is a stud or a dud.
Watch the video below for a page by page inside look at Social Media Lead Machine’s 84 page pdf and what it’s all about!
The “Hack Your Facebook Profile” Blueprint PDF
The Social Media Lead Machine blueprint is an 84 page PDF. Yes, it’s 84 pages. You’ll get it for $7, so I would say at just over 8 cents a page, this is decent bang for your buck. But, let’s be clear here. It’s basically a $7 infomercial for the much more expensive Social Media Lead Machine Masterclass.
- Cost: $7
- Blueprint PDF’s Training: The blueprint teaches how to turn your Facebook profile into a squeeze page, step by step. It introduces concepts like lead traps, magnets, and funnels. Here’s the key though, as you’ll see in the Masterclass training below, the whole purpose of your funnels, squeeze pages, chatbots, etc. is to sell this same blueprint and masterclass.
- “Auto Pilot” Claims: Blake Nubar’s system promises success on auto-pilot. Please make this mental note and burn it into your conciousness: There is no such thing as an auto-pilot business!
- Blueprint PDF’s Ultimate Purpose: Make no mistake about it, Blake Nubar isn’t trying to create an empire $7 at a time. The whole point of the Blueprint PDF is to tease the purchase of the more expensive Masterclass.
- Necessity of the Masterclass for Beginners: For newbies in internet marketing, the blueprint alone is insufficient. Putting the system fully into place requires purchasing the Masterclass with its “done for you” tools and resources.
- Application for Experienced Marketers: Seasoned marketers might use the blueprint’s information to create squeeze pages, conduct split testing, and use chatbots, but the system’s full potential is promised to be unlocked with the Masterclass.
There is no such thing as a business on “auto pilot”. Never believe unrealistic claims like this.
The Social Media Lead Machine Masterclass
The whole point of the Blueprint PDF is to lead you right into the more expensive masterclass. Let’s see what this masterclass and its ridiculous revenue promises are all about. Don’t believe the hype!
- Cost: $297 (was $197)
- Masterclass Training: So what exactly does this Masterclass teach? Surprise, surprise; it teaches you how to sell this same masterclass.
- Just Another Buy and Resell: Affiliate marketing is much, much more than buy and resell. Be wary of “training” platforms that only teach you how to resell the product you just bought.
- Major unrealistic revenue promises: First, Blake teases that you could possibly mimic his success and earn $25k in 9 days. Seriously? Second, he claims your whole business will be up and running in an hour and a half. These are major red flags.
- True Value?: This masterclass is given a completely arbitrary “true value” of $4,573
- Money Back Guarantee: If you’re not happy with the products, you can email Blake a copy of the receipt within 2 weeks with “Not For Me” as the subject line to get a full money back guarantee.
Buy purchasing the masterclass you’re now given all the tools and resources that the blueprint PDF only talked about.
It’s broken down into 5 phases with 3 bonuses.
- Phase 1 – “Build Your Traffic Machine” using his social media profile system with templates provided
- Phase 2 – “The Irresistible Lead Trap” your visitors can’t refuse
- Phase 3 – “Launch Your Sales Funnel” by connecting a “done for you” (red flag) funnel that will siphon new leads and customers
- Phase 4 – “5 Profit Maximizing Emails” to turn cold customers into “raving fans”, and finally
- Phase 5 – “Get Unlimited Sales and Leads” by being joining and being active in Facebook groups to attract visitors to the funnel
- Bonus 1 – Evergreen Messenger Chatbot
- Bonus 2 – Underground Split Test Secrets (10x Your Results)
- Bonus 3 – Supercharge your Funnel with Powerful Add-Ons

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Concept Behind Blake Nubar’s Social Media Lead Machine?
Blake Nubar’s Social Media Lead Machine is a training system designed to transform your Facebook profile into a lead generation tool. It teaches techniques to convert your profile into a squeeze page, which acts as a starting point of a sales funnel, leading potential customers towards products or services. The system covers lead traps, magnets, squeeze pages, funnels, email sequences, and more, emphasizing the use of Facebook groups to drive traffic.
Is the Social Media Lead Machine Suitable for Beginners in Internet Marketing?
For beginners in internet marketing, the Social Media Lead Machine might present challenges. While the initial blueprint provides a basic understanding, it is not comprehensive enough for complete novices to start transforming their Facebook profiles into effective lead generators. The subsequent Masterclass, which offers more detailed tools and resources, is necessary for beginners to effectively implement the system.
Can Experienced Marketers Benefit from the Social Media Lead Machine Without the Masterclass?
Experienced marketers might find value in the blueprint provided by the Social Media Lead Machine. With their prior knowledge, they could potentially implement some aspects of the system, such as creating squeeze pages or conducting split tests. However, the full implementation and potential of the system are largely realized through the additional tools and resources offered in the Masterclass.
How Reliable are Claims of “Auto Pilot” Success with the Social Media Lead Machine?
Claims of achieving success on “auto pilot” with the Social Media Lead Machine should be approached with skepticism. Most successful businesses require ongoing involvement and management, and it’s rare for any system to be successfully implemented and run entirely on its own after a short setup time.
What Are the Key Steps of Implementing the Social Media Lead Machine System?
The implementation of the Social Media Lead Machine system involves three key steps: optimizing your Facebook profile to function as a lead trap, connecting this profile to a sales funnel, and driving traffic through active participation in Facebook groups. This process aims to transform your Facebook profile into a continuous source of lead generation.
Are There Any Red Flags to Consider Before Investing in the Social Media Lead Machine?
Yes, there are several red flags to consider with the Social Media Lead Machine. These include the system’s heavy emphasis on “auto pilot” operation, the unrealistic claims of revenue, the necessity of purchasing the more expensive Masterclass for complete implementation, and, ultimately, the focus on transforming your Facebook profile into a sales funnel.
$25,000 in 9 days is ridiculous! In my experience, you can’t get away from putting in time and hard work in order to see success. I appreciate you pointing out both the pros and cons, so individuals can decide for themselves whether the program is something they want to pursue. Thank you!
Agreed! Thanks for the comment!
Well, I thought this would be a good opportunity with all the claims and I guess, it is not. Do the Done-for-you systems ever work? Because most of the time I think, yes, this might work, every time, that course is a scam and I never end up making any money.
I just wanted to make some income online and see if there is any potential at all.
In my experience reviewing countless platforms, done for you systems NEVER truly work. The bottom line is there is no such thing as a business you don’t have to put work into to succeed. Thanks for the comment!
I have a mixed feeling about Blake Nubar’s platform. I get it that he is a well established entrepreneur. And that is great to learn from those who really know their craft. But I don’t like the tactics he uses of making it seem easier than it actually is. And to cap it all, sell a producto to later sell us another one inside it.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of upsells and his programs are FILLED with them. Thanks for the comment!
I feel an 84 page PDF for $7 is a great deal for that much information. It could be a deal choice for a beginner marketer looking to get insight on the process
But, I agree that I don’t see the program as a good fit for a newbie to internet marketing.
I’m glad you enjoyed this review. Thanks for the comment!
I’m glad i came across this text before i became an affiliate and a customer of this product. Why not Use Facebook page or website? I don’t understand why I’d turn my personal profile into a lead trap.
From what i understand facebook pages and websites are for business and personal profiles are for friends and families.
Like you, I’m not for done for you or auto-pilot stuff. I’m human, I like to be in control
What people forget is that when they create a Facebook page for their business, who is it you initially reach out to when you promote it? Your friends list. Some will like the page since they’re your friend, but turning it into a lead trap just isn’t something I’d want to put my friends through.
The training goes on to teach how to infiltrate Facebook groups in the hopes of luring others back to your page. Again, it’s just not my style.
Thanks for the comment!
So who what and were can a window contractor find a legit leads company everyone out there is a scam it seems
You’re actually right. You end up feeling at the mercy of another company when you pay for leads and you can feel like you have no control.
One way to take back some of that control is to actually drive targeted traffic to your own website organically. Having a website up is one thing, but understanding how to drive targeted traffic to it actually creates those leads you’re looking for.
Local SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is all about understanding that process and driving local traffic to your business. It can be a good tool to go hand in hand with any other marketing you do.
The affiliate marketing training platform I recommend is all about learning how to build websites that earn you consistent revenue, and there’s some solid training on Local SEO.
There was a webinar series on that exact subject a few months back in January. You can create a free starter account with the training platform here. To be able to watch that 4 part webinar series you’d have to go premium, but the first month of premium is only $19. I think it would be worth it to learn the ins and outs of it.
If you get in, message me and I can direct you to the link to the series. Thanks for the question!
I hope that I dont run into the same problem that Mya did. I am at day 13 of the 14 day trial. I left tickets for customer suppert sales and customer service as well as sending emails to my accountability rep and to Blake – The email to blake sent me to the support website.
I tried to contact my accountability rep (Matt) via phone but his voicemail was full so I could not leave a voice message. I did send Matt a text message to his phone. I also sent an email to Matt (see below) requesting a refund for the Partner program and the DFY+. Maybe sometime in the future we will be able to revisit all this.
My wife and I decided that this is not the best time for us to start this venture. We love the ideas and products, Burt we do not have the bandwidth to commit to this business right now with all our other commitments and family obligations.
As we are 13 days into the 14 day trial, we would like to get a refund for both the partner program and for the dfy+. As in the agreement for the refund, we made it throughout only the first two modules, but most of the videos. The instruction was excellent and the model is great but still a bit too complex for my wife and I too work through.
Unfortunately with so many of these programs, they can make internet business and affiliate marketing seem completely complicated and just too much. If you’re looking for something much more straightforward I highly recommend checking out the training I owe my success to. I link to it at the end of the article. (And so much more affordable too). Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Many can learn from this. Thanks for the comment!
Blake Nubar claims your can easily get your refund, but you CAN NOT. I bout the program for a little over $1.4K (CAD) and realized within the first week that it wasn’t a fit for me, so I sent in a ticket to customer service in regards to my refund. I got no reply. I then sent in another ticker a few days later. Again, no reply. I then waited and tried again a couple weeks after and FINALLY received a reply. They said I wasn’t eligible for a refund because I was out of the 14 day refund period. I mentioned my 2 previous ticket attempts were within the 14 days but they claimed they have “no proof” of them. They just deleted the tickets so they wouldn’t have to give me a refund. All this is happening during a global pandemic where many people are suffering with money. But they don’t care. They have no integrity to their word, and don’t care about customers. The refund option is just for marketing purposes they don’t actually give refunds so BEWARE!!
Wow. That is VERY shady. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Have you found any relief or resolution?
I read this because someone in a group bought and was unhappy. She was being told that the money back guarantee only applied to the original product, not the up sell. She eventually got her money but after a struggle. I think you did right to turn it down.
Great insight there. Thanks for sharing that experience!
That lady was super dramatic. We refunded her instantly yet she still found a way to complain. We offer 14-day money back on all those products.
You can’t please everybody, right? Good to know you have a money back guarantee in place. Thanks for the comment!
I guess you can always sell us your system only to find out someone is doggin it out to. Bait and switch right.
It’s a common misconception to think reviews that offer pros and cons and then offer a better alternative are somehow “bait and switch”. Bait and switch is when something is advertised at an apparent bargain, but then instead of getting what was advertised you end up with lesser quality or more expensive goods. This Social Media Lead Machine review doesn’t even remotely go in that direction. In this review, I discuss what Social Media Lead Machine is, how it works, pros and cons, and give my personal opinion on why I personally don’t promote it. I’m clear with those reasons and then offer the same training I used that I owe all my success to as an alternative for those who are looking for something a bit more straightforward. Thanks for the comment!
Personally I think bait and switch reviews like this are a very poor way to do business. I would never even look at Wealthy Affiliate precisely because they are teaching their members to do business in a shady manner like this.
I agree with the previous post — ‘bait and switch’ describes it perfectly. I think it’s underhand. You bait people looking for one product with a ‘review’ that switches them to a different product. Slimey practice.
It’s really important to know bait and switch is when you’re going to throw that term around. And, simply put, a review article or video review that lists the pros, cons, red flags, and any other pertinent info that would help someone make an informed decision on that product or service simply isn’t “bait and switch” when the title of that article or video directly says that you’re about to read or watch a review. I’m very transparent not only in giving my reasons for my opinions with this product, but also with my own success and results with WA. I recommend Wealthy Affiliate as a solid alternative because it’s what I owe 100% of my success to and, unlike this particular program, it’s much cheaper and free to try without having the red flags that I point out in this review. If you’re comfortable with the price points and the other points I’ve shared in the review don’t bother you, more power to you. But for those who are like me when I got started and are looking for a solid place to start learning affiliate marketing without taking non a huge price tag followed by upsells, well of course I’m going to recommend the platform where I found that exact kind of success with. Common sense goes a long way. Thanks for the comment!
Great pros and cons listed. I have fell in a trap like this several times without even getting a refund when I asked for one and they claimed it was “money back guarantee”. It’s very hard to believe a system like this when you tried several that promised the same results but never worked. I am sure this will work for more experienced people. But to pay for the masterclass is a bit expensive and what if it doesn’t work? People always take a chance because it’s hard to make money these days. Or in my life it is and I always try to find ways to make money. Thank you for the insight on this. Maybe I just never tried hard enough and end up asking for my money back. Who knows?
Don’t feel so bad. Online business opportunities like this are everywhere and the thing is that they make it out to seem easy when it actually takes work. Get the right training and you can do very well. Get the right mindset and you’ll do even better. 🙂 Thanks for the comment!
Excellent post Eric!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the information. I’ve been wondering about this guy.
Yeah he has that “guru” look to him and definitely follows in the footsteps of others with the high ticket prices. Thanks for the comment!
I wanted to find out more about this because I just recently saw this on facebook a couple days ago for the first time. Needless to say I have a few people in my life that are always looking for that next get rich quick scheme. 😂 Money is NEVER made quick like that. I am glad to see that this isn’t just another total scam though and that there might at least still be some value to still gain from it though the price point seems high. It’s just super weird that you have to use your own facebook page for it though. Maybe you could make a new profile for it? So you aren’t trafficking your facebook friends. Lol. I do wonder though, do you think that the $7 PDF is worth it if you didn’t want to use the system but more just for info monetizing facebook?
I definitely think creating a separate business profile would be the way to go if you were to apply what’s taught in this system. And yes, if you have some marketing experience and know how to set up lead magnets, email sequences, calls to action, and so on , then yes, the $7 would b $7 well spent. Thanks for the comment!
You’re right about it sounding like a bizarre plan. I wouldn’t want to do this on Facebook but can you apply what you learn here to a website? That would work out much better for me. Also, do you think getting the $7 blueprint alone is a good buy? Thank you!
Yeah, if you stick with just the pdf blueprint it’s a good buy. It’s only $7 and has plenty of info. Thanks for the comment!
This lead machine sounds ok. I think I’d want to check out the blueprint just to see if there’s some good pointers in there. Besides that, I’m not really comfortable with selling stuff to my close friends and family.
Thank you for making such a great review!
Anyways, I hope more people read this and benefit from it!
With regards,
Faiz
Very happy to help! Best of luck to you!
Imagine purchasing a $7 product would the hope that it can help you only to realize that it would not be of great help that to get real help you would have to purchase the more expensive course.
In my opinion that is not being upfront with your product. They are using different tactics to get the most money from people.
At the same time, you have to understand it’s only $7 being spent, so I think it’s a bit unrealistic to expect a ton from $7. The real message I want to get across with this review is that it’s going to take work and one should be prepared for that and not expect everything to just be on auto pilot. Thanks for the comment!
Hi, I think I would be put off by the ‘big claims’ being made by this program, call me weary but it all seems to good to be true. Knowing that the pdf is basically all about getting you to the masterclass is an eye opener for sure. Thank you, the information you’ve given in your review has possibly saved me a lot of money.
Very happy you enjoyed this. And I agree, unrealistic claims are never a good sign. And while I don’t doubt that he made those amounts, it’s one thing for a guru to do it and another for marketer with no experience to do it. Thanks for the comment!
I saw one of these ads on Facebook and knew there had to be a catch. $7 is ok, but they should advertise the $297 platform that you’ll need to make it work.
I’d agree with that. Be transparent up front and I think more people would accept it. Thanks for the comment!
Hi Eric,
I am also not comfortable turning my personal FB page to be converted into a business page. As you said it seems a little “cringey”. Perhaps if you join Social Media Lead machine you need to make another FB page just for this? Could that be a possible option?
I’m sure you could apply the same things to a Business profile that you could a regular profile. This would at least keep the two separate. The main thing I’m not onboard with personally is all the talk of “done for you” and “autopilot”. Businesses take real work, and there’s no way around it. Thanks for the comment!
