This program is work 10timew what I paid for it. The PPC training alone could be a stand-alone offer for people wanting to get a job after it.
They said to give it a year but I'm already seeing results, I sold out of my first product almost immediately! There are additional resources to help in so many other elements of life to make this possible for truly anyone willing to try.
I am actually looking forward to each day again, and I get to keep my babies home from daycare now!!

I Wouldn't if I Were You
I requested a refund from Rainmakers 3 days into their 7-day challenge. I am grateful that I only spent $47 (which they have said will be refunded) and very sorry for those of you who spent more and were dissatisfied. Below is what I shared with the company:
I understand that everyone is out to make money, and I do not begrudge anyone for having that goal. I am not unfamiliar with the concept and practice of people who gain people's attention with lovely graphics, a happy-looking family, and promises to help the buyer supplement or replace their current income. However, I am particularly disappointed with Rainmaker because the folks who are the faces of the company come across as pleasant, genuine, and honest. Only a few minutes into the 7-day challenge, I realized that what was presented and what was reality were not in alignment. Having to sit through video after video that contained nothing but circumlocution but no substance and MULTIPLE nudges to keep spending money literally nauseated me and left me feeling duped and--quite frankly--foolish. I know that I am only one of many customers, but I do hope that my words will be taken into consideration as the company continues to refine its practices.
**Additional info, 2/21/24: I received a message from TrustPilot saying that I needed to provide additional information to the company within 3 days or my review might be deleted. I wanted to share my response to that:
I am shocked and disappointed! I took the time to write a well-worded commentary about MY experience with this company. It should be clear that I am an actual person who wants to let others know what happened to me and could potentially happen to them. As a result, I'm asked to PROVE that I am a real person who purchased their product/content lest my honest review be deleted. How very insulting!
I understand that no one likes to be perceived negatively, but it happens! That's one of the risks in doing business.
I find it deplorable that I was sent a message like this-- and AFTER The Rainmaker Challenge had already replied to my review.
With disgust and disappointment,
Renee

Oh no, Renee, this one stings. If only you could glimpse the countless instances where we've taken risks and prioritized people over profits. We actually run on very slim profits to this day because this is very much a movement that we believe in reinvesting into
To address your concerns, yes, we do have upgrades, and an in-depth program we offer to the people on our program, but they're just optional and not a requirement to keep going. At the end of the day, our goal here is to equip you with what you need to roll even for a fraction of the cost to take action on something positive... Our "upsell" is not crazy, but a deal of a lifetime for those who value convenience and time-saving measures, along with the guarantee that reverses the risk as long as you do the work. It's not for everyone, and we are totally fine with that.
Always remember that our joy is to see you create the family legacy that you were looking for when you joined here. If you need some help or a restart, just let us know – we're always happy to do so!

Wow AMAZING
Wow. It seems the people leaving negative reviews about this being a scam just didn’t pay attention to the course. Rainmakers never once ask you to buy more expensive courses, and they do not tell you to sell your items on FB to pay them - that is laughable. Also no I’m not a paid reviewer - I’m reviewing out of disbelief that people have anything to complain about! They also are NOT telling you to get loans and go in debt 😂. If you’re paying attention on day 1 they very clearly state those ideas are only for people who have zero dollars to start- not to pay them, but to purchase inventory to sell on Amazon. I thought it was amazing they were helping people come up with creative ideas to buy inventory! As a former single mom I wish I had this 15 years ago!!
The whole premise of Amazon is that you have inventory you buy (they teach you the who what where when and how whether you have zero dollars or $100,000).
I rarely write reviews but had to because I’m only halfway through the course and I believe. I have a product I created on Amazon (pre-rainmaker) that makes me a passive $1-$2k a month and I want to learn how to do more and do it properly and become financially independent. The fact that the Chelsea and Stephen are on here AT ALL offering their KNOWLEDGE to people for $47 (?!) ($97 if you want lifetime access before anyone freaks out) is insane and I completely believe that they are genuine, successful and actually WANT other people to know how to do it! They are passing on knowledge for cheap that they could have easily kept to themselves. Amazon is a beast I’ve wrestled with for 4 years and I’m so grateful to finally have people show me how to grow here! Anyone on here complaining or expecting a get rich quick scheme ( which they literally say in the course THIS IS NOT) will be disappointed. Anyone who genuinely wants a community and to put in the effort required to grow a business and appreciates people passing on knowledge that probably only 1 out of 100000 will actually follow, this is for you. Chelsea and Stephen I personally know I’m gonna be a case study in a year.
I believe it and I’m planting my seeds (fave metaphor from Day 2). Oh also thanks for the sweet discount offered on Helium.

My overall assessment of Rainmaker's
I wanted to share not just a new experience, but the overall journey with Stephen & Chelsey Diaz for anyone who's sitting on the fence and wondering if this is a real deal or not. So, in a phrase, "Throwing my hat in the ring with Rainmaker's has changed my life". I knew deep inside it was something I could do, but I never, ever thought how much learning it would take, how strong a why I needed, or who would become my friends and mentors through it. It's been awesome. And hard. After all, it's a business! I've had 2 successful products on Amazon already and I'm branching out in a new direction this month. You'll get stretched, bummed out, rise again, learn a plethora of new skills, and go WAY beyond what you thought you could! It's not for lazy people, not a quick rich scheme, not for complainers or those who want things to be easy. But it is for those who want an online biz, who are up to the challenge, will give back to the group and show up all the time ready to go. For YOU, there's gold in those Rainmaker 'hills'!

A mother daughter at success story!
My mom and I went through the Rainmaker Challenge in February 2021, and knew right away that this was the group for us! Everybody is so supportive, helpful, and I cannot say enough positive things about them. The skills we have learned since joining the Rainmakers have allowed us financial freedom, and are skills that have moved into my every day life as well. We are currently launching our third product and have since renewed our membership twice! (Well worth every penny!) The ‘How Can I’ mindset is just one of the skills I have found useful for every challenge I face. I would highly recommend this group to anyone who is ready to take the next step in both their personal and professional development.

Love that the "how can I?" mindset has become a part of your family's legacy!

Just know this before you enroll
Just know this before you enroll. While 5 of the 7 courses were beneficial in giving you a brief overview of what an FBA account is like, please know that 2 of the 7 days are a sales pitch and trying to entice you to take out financing to fund this business. The $47 for the course could be worth it if you are curious but I would not suggest purchasing anything extra. There is not enough information in the 7 day offering to be able to successfully go forth and prosper. Udemy has a $25 course with all the tools you will need.

We pretty sure upfront about this, openly discussed on public, that we do have an in-depth program that will be tackled which is completely optional. At the end of the day, our goal here is equipping with what you need to roll for a fraction of the cost, and our "upsell" is not a crazy, but a deal of a lifetime for those who value convenience and time-saving measures along with the guaranteed that reversed the risk as long as you do the work. It's not for everyone, and we are totally fine with that.
While we are thrilled to hear that you found five out of the seven courses informative and valuable, yes, we do acknowledge that there are definitely cheaper options, but what we offer here is not just curriculum generic. When we say you’re in Rainmakers, it’s a community, it’s the support, and we mean that. We take on each other's burdens and problems, and we help each other solve them. Our team and every member of this community has your back. You're not doing this alone. When you need encouragement, tough love, or just some answers, we've got it for you. And when you need someone to talk you off the ledge, we can do that too.
I apologize for not replying sooner. But, if you're here, you have made your choice. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, you are a Rainmaker. That is both a high calling and an extreme comfort. We appreciate you, and we thank you for sharing your thoughts on us, Suzanne.

Seems like fake reviews
Red flag alert, this company most definitely appears to have paid or asked people to write 5-star reviews for them in my opinion. The reviews seem very obviously fake and generically worded, many are also worded the same as the others. The only real looking reviews using wording that seems to come from actual humans who purchased the product are 1-star negative reviews. Research before you purchase because people are complaining that you can lose up to $15,000 on whatever this company is selling.
Response from Rainmaker FamilyJul 7, 2023
Hey Cody, we don't see your name in our system. Have you gone through our programs?
We definitely do ask people to leave reviews (as that's just a good business practice), but they're not paid.
Possibly the similar language you're seeing is because our program is built for moms, who all tend to use similar language.
They also spend a lot of time with us in the programs so you may hear some "rainmaker-isms" repeated a lot like "how can I" and "move the needle" - these are just things we say a lot so they get repeated :)

HUGE regret giving this family/company money!!!!!
HUGE regret paying this family/company any of my money. At first, they sell it to moms who want to make more and only have to work about an hour a day at it. The funny thing is, the videos are over 1.5hrs long and basically a bunch of bologna. In the first video, they stated that the 7 day course is compared to a 7 day gym trial membership and that it wouldn’t actually help you make the amount they say it does. To do that, you’ll have to do their other, longer, more expensive program. Also, they failed to mention the amount of the investment you'd have to make in order to create and sell products. They literally tell you to sell your belongings on Facebook marketplace so you can pay them. Right there is when I said ABSOLUTELY NOT. When I realized the absolute scam they’re selling, I tried emailing the email address that was proceed on a screenshot I took of the refund page. The email came back undeliverable because of the address they provided being inaccurate. When I realized I received the email back undeliverable, I searched their website for their contact info. I asked for a refund of my money as it stated (and I have screenshot proof) that I could be refunded 100% if I didn’t feel I gained 10x the value I had paid in money-making ideas. I obviously didn’t feel that way, but now they’re refusing to refund me my money! Incredibly frustrating.

Hey Chelsea, I'd love to dig into this to see if we can help you out. As well as help others out who may be reading your review to bring some clarity.
From the sounds of it, it looks like you took our $47 7 Day Challenge where we teach the basics of starting an Amazon FBA business from home.
It is true you can start this business with 1hr per day but please know that's an average and some people invest more time, espcially at the beginning.
The challenge has 7 days of training and at the beginning we do mention that there is 45min of "core" content then there's an additional 30-45 of Q&A for those who want to go deeper. I know the Q&A on Day 1 is longer so that's where you might have thought everything was 1.5hrs, but as mentioned in the training, those sections are optional and if you're short on time I would just stick to the "core" content.
We also do give the analogy of a gym trial and that our challenge is like a trial for our membership (called the Mastermind). This is true, however like a gym, you don't need to join the gym to be fit if you're disciplined. The gym membership adds in accountability and coaching, but you can take the valuable things we teach in the challenge about how to find what to sell, how to get it manufacturer, etc and run with it.
I understand our Mastermind is not for everyone. Just like at Costco when you get a sample, not everyone is going to buy the whole bag. That's what the Challenge is, a sampling of our coaching and we've seen many motivated people take what they learned and launch businesses without the Mastermind.
When we talk about selling items on Facebook, we are just sharing the idea of being resourceful to fund the business. Because selling products on Amazon does require funds to purchase the inventory, and because some people get stuck thinking "I don't have the money", we share this training as a simple way most people can make the money. Most American's have $3000 worth of unused stuff around their house they can sell so we're just empowering those who want to a bit of spring cleaning so they can turn those funds into a business.
I'm glad you got in touch with our customer service. It's in the banner of our facebook group, mentioned on every training and linked on the bottom of each webpage. I took some time to look into this and I did find one spot that had a typo from 5/29/2023-6/6/2023. This was not intentional and I can see how it caused frustration as you joined our Challenge on the 29th.
Our support site is http://rainmakerfamilysupport.com/ for anyone else hunting, just click "submit ticket" and our team of moms will help you out ASAP.
We do have a 10x the Value guarantee on our challenge that at the time of writing this states "If you don't feel you've gained 10X the value ($470 in money-making ideas) by the end of Day 2, email for a full refund."
Because of that typo in the email you weren't able to reach our team by the deadline which is why our team didn't see your account as qualified for the guarantee and that's why they didn't initially grant the refund.
After investigating this in depth, we will make an exception and apply the guarantee to your account, refunding back the $47 to the card you paid with.
We wish you all the best in your entrepreneurial journey :)
