What is Easy1Up? Have you ever come upon a “business opportunity” that, the further you researched, the more shady it became? Ladies and gentlemen, that is exactly what we have here.
What Is Easy1Up?
Easy1Up is a bizarre platform offering digital education products for you to buy and resell at highly elevated prices. Using a convoluted network marketing/MLM compensation plan called the “Reverse 1Up”, individuals are promised “$1000 paydays”.
From the outside looking in, any opportunity where you get to keep 100% of sales commissions for digital education products would seem like a great deal. Especially when you’re told you’ll have almost your entire investment back immediately after just 1 sale.
However, the deeper we look into Easy1Up, the more red flags pop up.
The first major red flag whenever you’re getting started with online business is when the compensation plan has a convoluted, confusing angle that promises $1000 commissions to infinity for very little effort.
A second major red flag that can’t be overlooked is when the content in the training modules is basically ignored and the entire thing that keeps the compensation plan rolling are the inflated price points.
Let’s dive into this Easy1Up review and expose all the red flags that, in my opinion, you should avoid at all costs.
How Does Easy1Up Work?
I first became aware of Easy1Up.com after a spam comment was left on one of my YouTube videos. The comment had a link to a bizarre website where a gentleman had created a video showing an “incredible opportunity” that was going to give you $1000 paydays.
In this video, he links to Easy1Up.com. And this is when I saw firsthand just how this bizarre cash gifting sheme worked. At the top of the Easy1Up.com website there’s a video that explains how it all works.
When you watch this video, you get a real sense of who they’re targeting and why.
Promises of working from home, earning a massive second income, massive paydays, and a limitless audience that is just waiting to buy from you is taken straight out of the network marketing sales tactics handbook 101.
And if all your were doing was selling digital education products, that would be fine.
But when you add in the convoluted “Reverse 1Up” compensation plan, then teaching your buyers to do the same, this is where Easy1Up loses steam.
First, let’s take a look at what’s inside the digital education products.
Easy1Up’s Digital Courses
These digital products do contain hours of video training within each module. As an example, Vertex Pro contains over 40 hours of content.
However, your Easy1Up business has nothing to do with any of the training inside any of the modules.
They are simply the product that makes this scheme legal. This scheme is all about the cost of the modules and the bizarre “Reverse 1Up” compensation plan.
How Much Do the Easy1Up Courses Cost?
The digital courses offered at Easy1Up range in price from $25 – $2000 with an attached “administrative fee” that goes with it. The higher the cost of the module, the higher the administrative fee.
When you buy a course module the administrative fee goes directly to Easy1Up. The rest of the cost of the packages goes directly to the person selling to you. In the same way, when you sell a course package, the administrative fee goes instantly to Easy1Up and 100% of the cost of the course package is paid directly to you.
- Elevation Basic: $25 + $5 admin fee
- Elevation Elite: $100 + $10 admin fee
- Vertex: $250 + $25 admin fee
- Vertex Elite: $500 + $50 admin fee
- Vertex Pro: $1000 + $100 admin fee
- Vertex Live: $2000 + $250 admin fee
Think about this for just a second.
Someone sells you Vertex Pro for $1100 ($1000 + $100 admin fee) and only the $100 admin fee goes to the company, while $1000 goes directly into the pocket of the person that sold it to you.
If I’m paying a company $100 for their product, why would I have to give this person $1000???
And now you’re going to be told to go and do the same. This screams pyramid scheme.

The Bizarre “Reverse 1Up” Compensation Plan
In the Reverse 1Up system, you first choose which of the course module you’re going to buy. You pay the amount plus the “admin fee” that goes to Easy1Up. 100% of this sale goes to the person who sent you this “opportunity”.
Now you send this same opportunity out to the world.
When someone you sent this opportunity to decides to buy a course module, the admin fee for that module goes to Easy1Up and 100% of this sale goes to you. (You can see how this works visually at 3:39 – 4:45 in my video above.)
Where the Reverse 1 Up kicks in is with the second sale.
100% of your second sale goes to the person above you. But don’t worry, you’re not missing out on a sale, because according to Easy1Up, for every single person you bring this opportunity to, their second sale goes to you to infinity.
This scheme simply doesn’t work.
The reality is this: you fall for this opportunity and now you go out into the world trying to find someone else to pay $1000 for your digital product. Let’s say you get lucky and find someone who does. You’d get $1000 of your $1100 you spent back. Do you think you’re going to try and make another sale knowing that 100% of that second sale DOESN’T EVEN GO TO YOU?
The scheme ends and you’ve lost $100. And this is a best case scenario.

Final Thoughts
Easy1Up is a convoluted scheme with a bizarre compensation plan promising $1000 paydays that never come as you search and search for suckers who will buy into the scheme the same way you did. There are much better ways to earn real revenue online.
Any questions about Easy1Up? Have you seen a compensation plan like this one before? Would you still try it out even with all the red flags? Let me know what you think in the comments section below. I always reply and I’m looking forward to connecting with you!
Denigrating another platform as a means of promoting your own is malicious. Shameful in my view.
This is the second time I have responded to one of your posts. If you want to provide a balanced perspective, choose to publish this.
I’m going to say I actually appreciate the ignorant comment you left. I don’t think you have bad intent. But I’m obviously going to defend my position against such ignorant remarks.
I’d love to hear all the reasons why you think an obvious scheme like Easy1Up with so many red flags is a solid business opportunity. I’m all ears. 🙂
The fact of the matter is that I was once in the exact position so many people out there are in; searching to find a reasonable training platform for affiliate marketing that actually delivered without trying to empty my bank account. The training platform I stand fully behind is OBVIOUSLY the one I would recommend without any shadow of a doubt to those who are sick of seeing platforms like Easy1Up because it doesn’t have ANY of the red flags I point out so clearly in this post and video.
The training I recommend literally FREE. If someone reads this post and decides to try it and they like it, great! I’m here to help them. If not, it was literally free. They can walk away to continue their research or they can even go on to some horrible scheme like Easy1Up.
The choice is theirs 100%.

Thanks for the comment!
Yikes, I’m glad you warned us about this one and all the red flags. There’s definitely no such thing as making 1000s little to no work. Online businesses take just as much work as most 9-5 jobs, but you get to do it from the comfort of your own home. I’m always leary of sites that promise you can “get rick quick.”
Agreed! Thanks for the comment!
I have nothing against network marketing business if I can get …
money, a good product, and good business education.
I’d do my due dilligence and find out the motive of the owner – is it to help other people or to make a lot of money. If the founder is wealthy and about helping others to become rich I’ll consider that MLM.
Clearly Easy1Up is not a company I’d join – they are shady as you have said; poor product, greedy as hell!
Unfortunately, with network marketing you’re never going to get that “good business education” you mention you’re looking for. They’re simply not sustainable, with a massive percentage of network marketers not even earning a single dollar. You can check that out here in an article where I shed light on network marketing annual income disclosure statements. The numbers don’t lie! Thanks for the comment!
I was wondering about Easy1Up. And what at first seemed like an innocent platform, I now see it’s a system to hook us up with an expensive course and in order to get our money back we need to resell it to others through that weird Reverse system. Thank you for this!
Yes, it is the epitome of bizarre. Run away from it as fast as you can! lol Thanks for the comment!
Wow the balls it must take to pull that off. Not only do you have to pay for the course but you gotta pay someone for selling it to you. Massive red flags indeed. Great article, and good looking out. The whole giving up your second commission to the person who signed you is straight up scammy.
Thanks for the heads up
Yeah, very bizarre platform. Hope this helps people avoid it. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for this review Eric, I saw Easy1Up in a YouTube ad. Do people really fall for these scams? The compensation plan really doesn’t make any sense, and it’s sad that people are paying these high prices for the “digital education” only to be part of basically a pyramid. I just wish these scams would stop turning up and someone is paying for them and getting hurt.
Great review!
Agreed. Unfortunately, when people get desperate, they look for quick schemes to turn a buck. Thanks for the comment!
It’s not always easy to find legitimate programs for making money online, but it’s super easy to spot BS if you use common sense.
Stuff like this kept me away from dealing with trying to make money online for so long. Thanks for exposing this and showing others what to avoid!
Agreed! You could smell it on this one from a mile away. 🙂 Thanks for the comment!
Hey, Thanks for this. What a crooked scheme to take people’s money.
Thank you and thanks for the comment!
Hello! This was big for me. I usually don’t get involved in pyramid schemes anymore because most of the ones I’ve been introduced to are either scam or hard to earn real cash as stated in their claims. My brother came to me with this one and he just wouldn’t listen to my perspective. Forward this so he can see I’m not the only one who sees through this scam.
Thanks for sharing that video!
I’m very happy to help and I’m glad you were able to see through it. Hopefully your brother sees the light as well! 🙂 Thanks for the comment!
What a way to deceive people. I watched a video from a link sent to me on Facebook about this and the poor person was trying their hardest to explain this scheme but they were so confused that it confused me and I lost interest. This sounds like some glorified fraud, thanks for letting us know, Eric!
Agreed! Thanks for the comment!
Hi Eric – your video and article confirmed my exact thoughts about Easy1Up – I came across it last year via a FB bot sent to my messenger app, and I concluded immediately that it appeared to me as a Pyramid Scheme. Thank you for this article and for putting this information out there for people to understand this better – it’s definitely not a business of any form.
Very glad to help confirm those suspicions! Thanks for the comment!
I can understand why there are no pros in your article, easy 1 up looks like an easy way for the product creators to make money. I got involved in something similar about 6 years ago and lost a lot of money. I wish articles such as yours had been around then so I would not have purchased it. I know everyone has different opinions but your article makes it easy to understand why it won’t work.
Thanks so much for sharing your perspective! I’m sorry you lost money with that other similar venture. The positive thing to take from that is that it’s a lesson learned, right? I enjoy putting reviews like this together for that exact reason to help others either find the gems out there or avoid the duds. Thanks for sharing your experience and thanks for the comment!
Aloha and thank you for your honest review on Easy 1 Up.
Personally, I’ve been working online for 4 years now and have come across easy 1 up many times… Many of my internet marketing friends around the world have actually introduced me to it, but like you, have no interest in promoting something like this. Affiliate marketing is definitely the best and simplest way to earn revenue online. Just gotta find a niche, setup a funnel, run traffic… BOOM!
Cheers for sharing.
Aloha! Of all my travels, I’ve still never been to Hawaii! I really need to make my way there! And yes, Easy1Up definitely ranks high on the bizarre list. Good for you for avoiding it! Thanks for the comment!
Dear Lord I don’t even know where to start with Easy1UP. Oh wait, I won’t!
Easy1Up is easy thumbs down.
Thank for the info!
ha! Well said! Thanks for the comment!
Exactly what I thought when I first saw this. I appreciate you posting and bringing this to light!

Glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for the comment!
I loved the voice of that New Yorker in your video! Lol classic!
I had to include it. It was too perfect, lol. Thanks for the comment!
Wow, this sounds like Empower Network and Traffic Monsoon all combined into one opportunity… minus the blogging aspect of Empower Network of course.
I got a spam text message about this and I am grateful that you made a post so quickly about it to help with my research.
Thanks for looking out for the little guy!!
Ha. Very glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for the comment!
