I first heard of rainmakers on 2020. I was looking into different ways of creating passive income for my family and I knew this was it.
I wasn't able to join until a few years later, but it has been well worth the investment. I have developed and launched one product. It has been a slow an steady process but we're finally seeing it take off and seeing some profit coming our way! Currently working on the next products as I write this!
It has been an awesome process with lots of growth and stretching, but so worth it! I've done things I never imagine I would do.
The rainmakers community aspect has been crucial and so helpful!

Awesome! Having discovered Rainmakers in 2020 and taking the leap to join later shows great commitment to creating passive income for your family.
The transition from slow and steady to seeing profits is fantastic! We're happy to hear the support played a key role in your journey, and we celebrate your growth, Lena!
So proud of you for launching your product and seeing steady growth! Keep pushing forward and building your product line 💪

Rainmakers is truly transformational
I started as a mom of 3 working part time as a nurse. I wanted to be able to help more financially without trading my time with my kids that is so precious to me. I started the challenge with rainmakers back in September 2023 and instantly just knew this was it! I completely stepped out of my comfort zone, took a risk, and just trusted in the process and trusted in God. Coming from ZERO business background I learned so much and gained such a confidence in myself. My first week of launch I hit Benjamin club multiple times and I couldn’t be any more proud of myself! Thank you Stephan and Chelsea for all that you do, you have truly helped me transform my life!
Response from Rainmaker FamilyMay 22, 2024
Total game-changer! Going from a business newbie to Benjamin Club in just ONE WEEK is absolutely mind-blowing. You crushed your launch, and that's a powerful testament to your dedication, trust, and willingness to take a chance.
We know balancing motherhood, nursing, and chasing entrepreneurial dreams is no easy feat, and your dedication is truly inspiring.
We're so proud to be a part of your journey, Tara, and we can't wait to see what amazing things you achieve next! ✨

The challenge doesn’t provide much…
The challenge doesn’t provide much useful information, basically they use it as a sales tool to get you to buy into their $6,800 MasterMind program.
Response from Rainmaker FamilyMay 25, 2024
We appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Please know that the challenge aims to offer valuable insights and equip you with resources for you to keep going on your own for a fraction of the cost.
The in-depth program we offer, they're just optional and not requirements to keep going. You see, some people prefer to trade their dollars for the time savings, convenience, added accountability, and be more supported, so they'll be less likely to quit and have a higher chance at achieving their goals. It's not for everyone, and we are totally okay with that.
Thank you, and we hope this clears things up.
Best,

My Rainmakers Journey
I am a mom of 3, a full time Radiology tech, and a full time student. I have been working in healthcare for 10 years and missing out a lot on time with my family. My ultimate goal is to make enough income from this rainmakers journey to be able to cut back at work and spend more time with my family. I have grown a lot through this experience and can see the potential it has brought to my life. I also love that products that I create can make a difference in someone else’s life. I am learning to overcome fears and trust in myself. Thank you for this opportunity!
Response from Rainmaker FamilyMay 13, 2024
Wow, your dedication is admirable! We're thrilled to see the program fostering your growth, self-confidence, and entrepreneurial spirit. The potential to create meaningful products is fantastic! Wishing you all the best on your Rainmaker journey, Kandice.
May you achieve your goals and build a brighter future for yourself and your family!
Best,

Winning at Amazon
I am so excited to reach this milestone, $1,000 in one day on Amazon while I was home with my family is exactly what I had hoped being a Rainmaker would be like! There was a lot of hard work up front, but it is so worth it.
Response from Rainmaker FamilyMay 8, 2024
That's a massive milestone, and achieving it while being with your family is exactly what Rainmaker is ALL about – freedom and flexibility. We celebrate your success, Jessica! Keep crushing it and building your dream business! ✨

Embarking on the journey of selling on…
Embarking on the journey of selling on Amazon was a leap of faith for me. Starting with the Rainmakers class, I dove into the unknown, unsure of what lay ahead. The process of discovering a product and crafting its design proved more challenging than I imagined. Yet, despite the hurdles, I persevered. Now, almost a year later, I stand amazed at the results. My business is flourishing, and with each passing day, my knowledge expands alongside my passion for this venture. Though still learning, I am proud of how far I've come and eager for what the future holds.
Response from Rainmaker FamilyMay 8, 2024
We're proud to have been a part of your transformation from uncertainty to success! It's amazing how you tackled product design challenges and built a flourishing business within a year. You are truly inspiring, WOO-HOO!
Here's to a bright future filled with continued learning and exciting discoveries on your Amazon journey!

It’s a convincing scam.
I am a former Rainmaker in ~$30k+ debt and filing bankruptcy.
Rainmakers:
- targets moms and families trying to secure their financial future.
- sells a grossly overpriced product.
- encourages using credit to fund it.
- misrepresents success rates.
- seriously underestimates start up costs.
- fails to communicate time requirements.
- has an upsell around every corner.
- makes false promises.
The list goes on. I was sold a program that promised to take me from an “Exhausted Mama to a $10k/Month Business That Run In A Couple of Hours Per Week”
Rainmakers paints a perfect picture during their Challenge. Time freedom, financial freedom, a support group of other sellers and coaches, work during nap time, low start up costs, etc. They target moms from many walks of life by presenting themselves as a faithful and trustworthy young couple.
They teach us how to fund our business several ways in the challenge. Like selling your possessions, asking family for a loan, taking out multiple credit cards to name a few. Fortunately, they can recommend a company to help you stack a bunch of credit cards. They tell us we will be paying those credit cards off before the 0% APR is up. They “recommend” another company to set up your business. Then they upsell for tax services and business credit counseling. By the time you pay for all that you are already $8,000+ in the hole and you haven’t even bought inventory.
This business starts with minimal hours. Watch videos in your free time and go at your own pace. Check the Facebook group and “keep a positive mindset”. Keep chugging along. Eventually, you hit a snag and ask a question. Then you hit another and another and another. Eventually, crickets when you ask for help. The whole process has cost thousands more between manufacturing, shipping, listing photos, and numerous other expenses they don’t disclose. You’re so invested that you keep going, confident you’ll see your “first order pay for your second order.” ~ Rainmakers.
Then it doesn’t and you ask them why. You ask for help. Blame is placed on you and then they upsell you for an hour with a coach. All too often they just remove your post or comment if it gets a little too sad or truthful.
They heavily censor the Mastermind Facebook group. Any post depicting Rainmakers in a negative light is removed. Any comment disclosing “a failure” is removed. Members are then placed on post approval. Keep it up and they will remove you from the group entirely. Simply posting about your personal experience with their program is censored asap if it doesn’t have a happy ending. I have numerous screenshots of the problems other members are facing and the overwhelming debt people are facing as a direct result of Rainmakers.
As if that isn’t enough. Oh yeah, your 12 month subscription is up. You need to pay $99+/month to continue having access to the community. Their latest upsell was to offer lifetime Facebook group access for $3,333. But, you have to sign a contract stating you can’t say anything bad about them - ever. Plus, they can kick you out whenever they feel like it.
Can’t pay to renew? Good luck, let us know if you hit an award milestone so we can feature you on our Instagram!
Rainmakers leaves a lot of important information out of their challenge and mastermind. Their product qualifier tool is incomplete and does not calculate an accurate estimated profit margin. They introduced a paid upgrade that includes the missing costs while I was a member. One of many paid upgrades including an hour with Stephen Diaz for $2500.
Rainmakers promises to teach you, “How to find winning products to produce time & financial freedom for your family online.” This could not be further from the outcome most students find themselves in.
Rainmakers will upsell you every chance they get. They will accept any person that can pay the Mastermind fee of ~$7800 and is willing to sign a contract that protects Rainmakers in almost every way.
I paid the $2000 for a “Done For You” product. What they gave me was a poorly researched product that cost way more than they projected to produce.
Contrary to their claims in the Challenge, Rainmakers will leave you in a worse financial position 95% of the time. Some Mastermind members are offered refunds with non-disclosure and non-disparagement at Rainmaker’s discretion. If you don’t accept, they will rebuke every review you write with lies to protect their public image.
The one positive was meeting so many people like myself that I continue to connect with on a personal and professional level. All are current and former Rainmakers who stopped drinking the kool-aid.
Edited to add follow up -
I already had your Overlord, Stephen Diaz, look at my specific situation. He referred me to your legal team.
