22,000+ dollars later… Let me start with why I gave two stars instead of one: I met some amazing people (other ladies in the program) that I respect and admire. Now for the portions that deserve a one star: There is a program that is affiliated with Rainmakers called Stephen’s Free Stuff. This is a way of launching your product through the enticement of selling it with a hefty discount—and sometimes giving it away as free. People will fill out a form and then get reimbursed through Venmo on the backend. This is considered “cheating for sales rank” From Amazon TOS: “You may not provide compensation to buyers for purchasing your products or provide claim codes to buyers for the purpose of inflating sales rank.” Full disclaimer here…before I became aware of this violation of Amazon’s Seller Code of Conduct, I participated a few times to help other sellers get ranking. I launched my products in a way that was above board and Amazon was aware of every sale I made. It was harder and probably more expensive, but I slept at night knowing I couldn’t get banned for my launch strategy. Next, let’s discuss their woefully inadequate coverage of advertising on Amazon. This is—by far—one of THE most expensive aspects of selling on Amazon. But as a member, you must pay for an upgrade in order to learn the more specific aspects of PPC (advertising). Thank goodness for Helium 10’s Freedom Ticket and their course on PPC, where I have learned about ads and refining strategies of creating campaigns. Finally, I want to discuss their use of faith-driven tactics to make it sound like a company that operates with the highest integrity. Another example of this lack of integrity is a guest on their rainmaker podcast that receives high praise for scalping multiple gaming systems and then exploiting them to gamers. But phrases like “we are praying for you” and quotes from the Bible are sprinkled throughout their calls, thus leading potential buyers—Christian moms is their primary target audience—to believe that this is a successful and lucrative way to spend more time with their families. Having paid for the course, their recommended financial services program, filing a trademark with the USPTO, product photography, listing images, inventory, shipping, UPC bar codes, and numerous other charges that were not disclosed on the front end, my debt is approximately $22,000 and I haven’t been able to pay down very much of it because everything is going back to Amazon for their unsustainable fee structure and now credit card interest on the stacked credit cards that their financial company recommended. Caveat Emptor.

### Review: Beware of Rainmaker Group - A Costly Scam I regretfully joined the Rainmaker Group in March 2023 after taking the 7 day challenge and then joined thier Master Mind, and it has been a nightmare that goes against Amazon's TOS as they campaign for reviews within their community. The program is filled with old positive reviews from former employees, which is incredibly deceiving. They show people’s sales figures but not the profits, marketing these as celebrations while we sellers struggle to make it work. Rainmaker promises passive income and minimal startup costs, but this couldn't be further from the truth. The initial Challenge program is deceptively easy and inexpensive, but once you pay thousands for their Mastermind, you're trapped in a financial quagmire, feeling compelled to go into debt because you've already invested so much. The Challenge doesn't disclose all the ongoing expenses you’ll face. Only after joining the Mastermind group do you realize the full extent of the costs. They constantly upsell, making you pay more for additional help because they know you will be asking for help, while their coaching is minimal at best. I tagged my coach with questions and never received any responses. Their "Done For You" (DFY) product, which we paid extra for, took forever to arrive. We joined in March and didn't get the DFY until May, followed by more delays for manufacturer recommendations. By the time everything came together, their promise of a $10K guarantee within six months was impossible to achieve. Many of us who took the Challenge and joined the Mastermind are now drowning in debt, financially stressed, and unable to sell our products. Each Amazon payday, we owe more to Amazon because of advertising costs, FBA fees, referral fees, and storage fees. Despite following their instructions to the letter and even hiring their recommended company, Spectrum BPO, for $612 a month, we saw no ranking improvements, hardly any sales, and no success. Run far away from the Rainmaker Group. They have ruined so many of us financially, and we are denied refunds and told that we need to change our mindset. Honest posts in the Mastermind Facebook group lead to being kicked out, silencing those who speak the truth. I deeply regret the day I joined and wish I could turn back time. ***In response to Rainmaker Group (RM) below: It's clear that RM's replies are mostly copied and pasted, as evident from similar responses given to others who have left reviews on various platforms. RM made numerous promises of easy income, ample coaching, and assistance, which are blatant lies. They lure innocent stay-at-home moms with their deceptive ads, creating a false sense of security and hope. Their recent narrative justifying the massive debt people incur from their program is outrageous, claiming that recommended programs are optional. Stephen Diaz's statement, "it's your fault for buying things we recommend," is both insensitive and irresponsible. This attitude highlights how little he cares about the harm caused to countless families struggling because of RM's misleading promises. It's appalling how Diaz benefits financially from all the recommended programs through affiliate links while we, the participants, face financial ruin. He has lined his pockets with our desperate attempts to succeed in the RM program, leaving us stuck with unsold products on Amazon and mounting debts. This lack of accountability and compassion is truly disheartening and unacceptable.

Previously reviewed this before. After going through trying to get my 10k payday “guarantee” I figured I could post another warning to other moms or anyone looking into this Program. They try and upsell everything. The “coaching” is brief and minimal. They use the Facebook page for the community of lost souls and puppies to answer and help eachother out. Coaching calls are so so and honestly the owners are not very hands on. One reason stated why I didn’t receive a refund was “I was no longer in the mastermind” I pulled out my contract and no where in there says that I needed to STILL be a member as the cost is thousands per year to remain a Facebook group member with the rest of the lost souls. I’m part of another mom group and there are Sooo many rainmakers who are NOT successful, not because our mindset is off, but because these trainings are base level and simply this company is trying to profit off your loss. They sell a high ticket course and have upsells. The marketing team gets the boot of they don’t hit a quota in sales of the mastermind I’m sure… no other way they are selling false promises and lies. Their employees write 5 star reviews. TURN and run. I’ll private message any potentials just to turn them away from this scam. Lots of bankrupt families etc. I could go on and on about all of the issues of this business but it starts from the founders unfortunately and plain and simple it’s a business to them.

The program is not at all what they claim it to be. I paid almost $6000 into this and am very disappointed. I really wish I would have read these reviews before i gave my hard earned money to them. It has been 5 months since I reached out to them to see about getting my money back and it is has been crickets, nothing, no response!

This company is awful and their course teaches things that goes against Amazon's TOS which could get your account shutdown if you follow. All the positive reviews are old and fake. The founding coaches have all left and regret giving those reviews.

I have been doing hair for 43 yrs, I am looking to retire but still need some income so I jumped into Rainmakers, took me awhile to get here because I am still working full time but here I am day 4, very excited.

Before Rainmakers I was working as a personal shopper for my own company. I started my own company about a year and a half ago. I still am a personal shopper and enjoy it very much! This whole experience has been amazing and eye-opening to how much I can truly accomplish! I never thought I would be able to understand half the things I know today and I know I will continue to keep learning, blowing myself away! I wanted to have a company that represented a positive happy-go-lucky brand to inspire and fill people with cheer. Our brand HAPPBEE Is just that and so much more. I feel this brand will flourish, becoming more than I ever expected. Thank you for this amazing opportunity!

Rainmakers are more than a company- they are a family that has taught me more than just business, but has helped me grow as a person. I don't have enough words to thank everyone for the changes I have seen in myself and my business.
