Is Global Affiliate Zone a Scam? – An inside out review!!!
You are probably excited after watching videos from members of the Global Affiliate Zone (GAZ) (similar to the one below), where they show you how they are able to work at wherever they want (home, beach, park, etc).
First and foremost, I want you to know that I stand neutral to the Global Affiliate Zone.
I am an internet marketer who earns a six figure income, and I know what’ going on in the Internet Marketing zone.
I know there are a lot of GAZ members who will trash this review if I am going to talk bad about the program, so I’m not going into that zone, but rather, I will share with you the facts about GAZ and I’ll let you decide if you wish to join.
In my opinion, GAZ is not a scam, although I wish they could be more up front in their marketing videos about their “Secret – The High Ticket Product”.
GAZ is basically an Internet Marketing learning platform that teaches you how to promote GAZ.
To put it simply, it is a self-recruitment platform, a sales funnel that recruits its members to a MultiLevel Marketing (MLM) business called Enagic.
The structure of Global Affiliate Zone is rather similar to a new online marketing training program called Digital Genius Lab. Both programs are the front runners for the recruitment drive of Enagic.
What GAZ don’t tell you up front…
I’m sure if you are on this review, you’ve probably seen the recorded webinar that entices you to join GAZ.
What’s communicated to you towards the end of the video is the GAZ membership which cost $99 per month, and it includes the following:
- Point 1 from the left (referring to the picture above): “Hand You a High-Converting Offer” – This is simply products of an MLM company, Enagic (as I’ve mentioned above).
- Points 2, 3, 4, and 6 from the left: This is where the 90% of the work is done-for-you. GAZ founders have created a series of marketing materials that you can use to promote GAZ itself. All that is left for you to do is to keep a positive mind and to drive traffic to your GAZ sales funnel.
- Points 5 and 7 from the left: I’ve attended the first coaching call, and it is basically a sales call. The “coach” at the other end tells me that in order to reap the full benefit of GAZ, I have to purchase a Kangen water machine that cost me a few thousand dollars. That’s the BIG secret that they are hiding from you.
Everybody takes this differently, for some, they will immediately call GAZ a scam, because GAZ was not up front on the additional investment.
For others, they will take this as an opportunity as they believe that the GAZ system works.
That’s why you are seeing an equal amount of positive and negative reviews about GAZ.
Is it really true that the GAZ system is one of a kind in this industry?
Unfortunately, that is not true.
I’ve seen quite a number of opportunities like this before GAZ.
Programs like the 4 Percent Group, Guaranteed Sign Up System and Total Funnel System are similar to GAZ.
Every program I’ve mentioned above was popular for a year or two, and they went downhill after its members lose interest in the program.
Is it true that 90% of the work are done for you?
Believe me when I say that the founders are great marketers.
This would mean that the marketing materials that they have created will have a high sales conversion rate.
Basically, when you buy into the GAZ system, you’ll gain access to all the high converting marketing materials which makes 90% of the work.
What’s left for you to do is to set up the system (the sales funnel) and get traffic to it.
As a GAZ member, you will be guided on how to set up the system and to generate traffic.
Doesn’t it sound amazing? You’ll be leveraging on the high converting sales funnel, and it seems almost possible for anyone to make lots of money.
But, have you thought about when hundreds of GAZ members using the same marketing materials, they become a cliche.
Similarly, when hundreds of GAZ members targets the same group of people on Facebook using the same marketing materials, will the sales funnel convert as well as it should?
Those members who joined GAZ at an early stage would have already benefited from those marketing materials, however, it is those who joined at a later stage will suffer if there are no change in the materials.
Unless there is constant change in the marketing materials, and there is a constant change in terms of the Facebook targeting education, those late joiners will constantly suffer from the outdated sales funnel. Just a food for thought. 🙂
Can you really make money through GAZ?
No doubt that if you follow its step-by-step guide, you could possibly make money from this business opportunity.
But, that would mean that you’ll have to invest a few thousand dollars to buy the Enagic Kangen Water system, and your monthly membership fee of $99 to GAZ.
Also, to put it bluntly, you are competing with other GAZ members for the same group of Facebook users.
Because, the same training material is widely available for all GAZ members, and everyone will use the same methods for getting the “laser targeted audience”.
If you copy the exact methods that the early GAZ members use, there is a high chance that you’ll not get the same results due to the law of diminishing returns.
Since 90% of the work were done for you, you probably won’t understand the mechanics behind the success rate of the marketing materials.
If you are already in GAZ, I suggest you dig deeper to understand why the marketing material work, and you should create your own materials to test the results.
You shouldn’t call yourself an internet marketer just because you made money leveraging on other people’s work, a true internet marketer is one who understands the mechanics of a successful campaign.
From what I understand after diving into the GAZ membership, I notice that the lessons are geared more towards the setup of the sales funnels and personal development.
You’ll get limited lessons in terms of internet marketing.
What if GAZ is gone tomorrow?
Sustainability is an issue for every business in this world. Not all business will last forever.
So, what if GAZ is gone tomorrow? Are you able to rebuild the same income level that GAZ has provided (given that you are already earning some money)?
Like I’ve said, you’ll have to constantly grow as an internet marketer, even if you are making a six figure income.
If you only rely on GAZ, you are setting yourself up for failure in the long run.
GAZ isn’t a place where they will teach you how to be an internet marketer.
Instead, they teach you how to promote GAZ solely.
If you think that you are already making money from GAZ, and you thought that you can set and forget about the business, think again.
There are constantly new competitors in GAZ, and if you do not learn and evolve, your “passive income”, so to speak, will quickly deplete.
As for me, if you strip off the current business that I have, I can confidently tell you that I will be able to revive what was taken away from me in a year.
That’s because I was taught the basic and advanced marketing education from this training program.
Because of the knowledge that I’ve gained, I am free to promote any kind of products I want, and I don’t rely on others to create my marketing materials because I know what works and what doesn’t.
My Sincere Opinion
To sum it up, I truly appreciate Julian Sherman and Mathieu Jang for creating this automated marketing funnel because it has created many online entrepreneurs.
But, if they don’t constantly change their marketing materials and education, the new joiners will suffer, which will have an indirect impact on the sustainability of GAZ.
GAZ is a good program, don’t get me wrong, but its effectiveness will depreciate as time goes by, unless they constantly evolve.
If you are a GAZ member, it would be best if you learn all the aspects of internet marketing, rather than purely relying on the marketing materials provided by GAZ.
If you are or have been a GAZ membership, what are your thoughts about the program? Would you be able to get general internet marketing knowledge that you can use to promote any kind of products online?
Please share with me by leaving a comment below, I would love to know.
If you didn’t think that you’ve what it takes to be an internet marketer after GAZ, and you really want to learn everything about that aspect, I would recommend you to this program.
It is the program that has taught me to promote any kinds of products online, and it is also the program that taught me to be a six figure income earner.
I hope this review has provided you with all the information you need to make the right decision.

Your pal,

I joined GAZ at a low time in my life, hoping to be able to earn some money, boy was I wrong!The money per month is way way too much, and yeah the videos are good but lets face it, it is a pyramid scheme, and the only ones who earn are the ones at the top.
Once I saw it was basically like a recruitment drive, and that is the only way you can make the money, by having someone join, then you get 30 of that 99 a month you pay, I wanted out. They tell you to market it differently, but I can’t lie to people, and especially not friends.
The money wasted on Facebook ads was hundreds as well, and I put everything I had in to it, and now I am in even more debt. I would steer well clear of GAZ, unless you’re willing to lie and take advantage, don’t go there!
Dear Jack,
You may well know a lot about marketing, but it seems that you have completely missed the point of the global mission at play here. The GAZ platform is a training platform in digital marketing skills. There is only at present ONE OFFER in there because the goal is not to get you making tiny percentages of a bunch of products out in the market place. It’s to show you how to leverage the world’s most lucrative compensation plan from Enagic, whilst also giving people a higher quality of health and wealth.
Sure, a machine can cost $2000. We actually began with 4 items, coming in more around $9000. Why? To fast track us past the first position into the 2nd within Enagic so we begin making double commissions immediately. We even make commission on the machines we bought because as a distributor you end up selling the 2nd and 3rd machine to yourself. There are other machines out there that are MUCH LESS expensive but none come with a template for big financial and time freedom. You make 6 figures? Our direct mentors are making a 6 figure month now in January.
The GAZ platform is designed to automate the steep learning curve needed to navigate the Enagic offer. It’s the highest quality alkaline water in the world. Do you know what the cumulative costs are of buying bottled water every day over 10 years? Do you know how many people you are preventing from improving the health of themselves and families by making this article? Do you know how acidic tap water is? Even bottled water doesn’t even approach the alkalinity of a Kangen machine.
So, Sure you can choose to view the platform as a funnel. Let’s face it, when you meet a girl and ask her name, then her number, then go on a date, then make love, you are also taking her through a funnel. Maybe you get married and ‘close’ the sale. The fact is it gives everyone, no matter their background, the ability to learn how to brand themselves authentically and people around us are replacing fulltime incomes after a couple of months. So is it worth playing several thousand dollars as an investment into yours and your family’s health for a lifetime of the worlds best water, which you are 72% made of and need every single day to live, for a real shot and time and money freedom? You tell me.
Your article is like when someone is suspected of rape or being a paedophile, the mere allegation ruins their career. Jobs won’t hire them anymore, EVEN if then proven innocent.
So do these people a favour. Let them have the opportunity to get out of slave wage bondage and live a life where they can share their gifts with the world, and be wirth their families and travel and laugh and love and buy things that make them feel special.
Sincerely,
A human who cares.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
What I see from your point of view is this:
1. There are cheaper and better products on the market than Enagic, but Enagic provides a way for people to earn money.
2. Quoting your sentence “We even make commission on the machines we bought because as a distributor you end up selling the 2nd and 3rd machine to yourself.” Why do you even need 2 or 3 machines? Do you know that this kind of activity is against the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)? It could be caught as a pyramid scheme.
3. “highest quality alkaline water in the world” – How can you verify that, there are so many other worthy competitors on the market. Every company claims that their product is the best. I do believe Enagic is a good product though. Just not liking the way GAZ promotes Enagic because it is more like running a recruitment scheme.
4. Quoting your paragraph “So, Sure you can choose to view the platform as a funnel….” – Yes, Enagic products may be beneficial. And about the time and money freedom, I am pretty sure you know the failure rate? Let’s face it, the majority of the people who joins GAZ and Enagic will fail. Have you personally recovered from your investment, and replaced your full-time income? If no, I think you shouldn’t be talking about this.
Here are my opinion, right back at you. 🙂
Cheers!

Hi Jack, thank you for this review.
I would like to know if all the information are updated to today 16/12/2018.

Hey Kerry,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Hi Jack,
Thank you for your review of GAZ. A friend had pointed it out to me and said they are making money easily. I have stalled on watching the video. I just watched it, and had my doubts. You have confirmed my fears.
Cheers,
Sandra
Hey Sandra,
Thanks so much for dropping by, and I am glad that my review helped!

Hi I just signed up with GAZ and definitely have not got the money to buy this product. So , should I just get my money back?
If you don’t intend to spend the money to buy the products of Enagic, there’s no point of you staying in GAZ. 🙂
Cheers!
~Jack (BareNakedScam)
But if an older article but curious as to whether anyone who commented who signed up to GAZ has stayed on?
Love researching all these marketing programs and looking to find one that fits for me ?
Like the majority of businesses, the majority will not follow through.
That’s the answer I can give you. Lol!
Cheers!
~Jack (BareNakedScam)
Hey Loz,
I know this comment is probably a bit older, but I couldn’t help but respond. While I myself am not affiliated with GAZ, what I can say about any e-commerce based network marketing company is research the company itself, not so much the people affiliated with it. Personally, I was presented with an opportunity several times for the same company, however the approach was wildly different depending on who was presenting it. If you are serious about wanting to start your own online business, invest in a product or service that you feel comfortable standing behind, and look to be sponsored and coached by someone who is willing to be patient and lay all the information out on the table for you. Vet them for character and integrity, and only accept if you can see that they themselves actually have fruit on their tree. Don’t be surprised if this process takes several weeks. I spent 2 months analyzing and researching before accepting an offer and I feel confident in my decision. The trickiest part about any of these opportunities is the path to success may be exceptionally simple and straight forward, but there’s people involved, and that will mess anything up.
Just be patient and don’t do anything expecting it to be quick and easy. Anything worth having won’t come easy.
Best of luck on your search and I hope you find what you’re looking for!

OMG, not sure what powers are at play but, something pointed me to your site.
Just a couple of days ago I was sent a link to the webinar for GAZ. Literally a couple of hours ago, I was able to watch the webinar and learn about the program. By the end all I got out of it was it cost $99 USD per month and you are given a big ticket item to market.
Obviously alarms bells started to ring, I’m in Australia, the webinar was made by Australians, but all costs are in USD. The fact that ALL members that appeared in the webinar are fairly new at it, have all ended up in Bali at the same time but not in the same place, has sent off big warnings.
Too make sure these were genuine concerns and not just me being a skeptic, I messaged the person who sent me the link and asked 3 questions
What is the big ticket item?
Do I have to purchase it?
And how much is it?
An hour ago they replied and successfully avoided answering any of my questions, all I got was GAZ have partnered with a health and fitness company, and there and many products at different prices available and it is recommended I take opportunity of the 14 day, money back if you’re not happy, trial.
I some how came across this site, and you have confirmed the answers to my questions that I already knew. The only thing that maybe different is the product.
I am looking to work from home, for several reasons, now I will check with your site before wasting my time on watching things like this.
I don’t want get rich quick schemes, I’m prepared to learn and work hard to get results, but I do want all the cards layed out before I commit.
Thank you for your website Jack
Hey Trudie,
You are most welcome! And, I am Glad that this GAZ review helped!
It is hard to find an honest opportunity nowadays, everybody is hiding stuff from you until you commit money into it. I totally get what you mean.
Anyway, if you want to learn about affiliate marketing, I would suggest that you check out Wealthy Affiliate because it is a completely honest upfront and it does provide you with a lot of information without even paying a single cent. You’ll get to know what you are getting into before committing a cent to the program.
Also, I am providing coaching in the program as well if you join through my affiliate link.
Cheers!
~Jack (BareNakedScam)
Great honest review which confirmed what I was thinking about GAZ.
THANK you I will keep poking around for something a little more authentic and with a bit more longevity.
Hey Rebecca,
Thank you for your comment!
I am glad that my GAZ review helped!

Hi there
I’m still trying to understand how buying a water filter will enable me to make money? Can you explain this?
Cheers Melissa
Hey Melissa,
Buying a water filter system only qualifies you as a distributor of Enagic. You’ll get all the marketing materials and a unique affiliate link.
To actually earn money, you need to get people into GAZ, and they will go through the same process as you and eventually buy a water filter system.
When your referral buys a water system, you’ll earn a commission.
Does this help?
Cheers!
~Jack (BareNakedScam)
hi i been reading your comment .
And, what are your thoughts?
Cheers!
~Jack (BareNakedScam)
Thanks for this review, Jack. It fills in some blanks that I haven’t been able to find info on elsewhere, such as the link with Enagic. The “90% done for you platform” is everywhere I look, which speaks to what you said about saturation & cliche.
Hey Nyree,
Thanks for your comment and I am glad that this review has helped.
Cheers!
~Jack (BareNakedScam)
Thank you for your review of GAZ.
I watched the webinar tonight and then started googling and facebooking like made to find honest info about the platform. So pleased you let on about the additional investments.
I read above comments.. and noticed you promotes Wealthy Affiliate. I proceeded to look into this and noticed it’s your own platform by the looks.
I really want to believe it’s risk free. I can’t jeopardize my young family with a decision to give it a go when I don’t have any experience in this area.. trust itll work and then fail.
Can WA really make a difference to my family and I?
Thanks.
Hey Sarah,
I wouldn’t say that Wealthy affiliate is completely risk free and success guaranteed because there’s no such thing as guaranteed success.
However, if you are asking if Wealthy affiliate is a scam, then I can confidently say that it isn’t.
You are joining the free trial to understand what you are getting into, and if affiliate marketing is the right fit for you, you can choose to become a premium member.
More than just a step-by-step course that takes you from a complete beginner to an experienced affiliate marketer, Wealthy Affiliate provides more value than the actual cost.
You get complimentary web hosting (which cost around $20+ per month), and a complimentary keyword tool (which also cost $20+ a month). These are essential tools that any affiliate marketer will need.
I am sure you are getting much more than you pay for. Many “gurus” charges thousands of dollars for the wealth of knowledge that you can gain in Wealthy Affiliate. You can join Wealthy Affiliate here.
And, there’s really no restrictions as to what products you can promote, because WA is going to teach you how to find your own passion and promote products that matter to people.
This is the true form of affiliate marketing. GAZ restricts you to promote just the products of Enagic, and it is not exactly affiliate marketing per se.
I hope this clarifies why I recommend highly of Wealthy Affiliate than GAZ. I am sure people from GAZ will disagree with me, but that’s just my opinion.
Cheers!

Hi Jack,
I just signed up with GAZ as well and feel like they hid alot of things from me. It makes it seem like for $99/month you get everything you need and thats not the case. I’m curious how to start from the ground up in the online marketing business. What’s the best way to connect with you?
Hi Alyssa,
Thank you for sharing your experience with GAZ!
I started off with no knowledge and experience with this program.
You can contact me directly in Facebook Messenger for my support.
Cheers!
~Jack (BareNakedScam)
Please help me to connect with someone at GAZ. My daughter son I law and four grandchildren have moved to Hawaii on a one way ticket to make their fortune with GAZ. They are now living in a shelter in Honolulu and we have been cut off contact.

I do not know if this will help, but you can send an email to [email protected]

Hi Jack
Thank you for your article. I had after watching the first live webinar which was sent to me by a Facebook friend already the feeling this is pretty much what you described, because the live webinar she sent was the same another Facebook friend sent me a couple of months before.
I would very much like to connect with you! I am not scared of hard work. But as a single mum, I need to change my life around for the better of my two boys
So I will have a look at your link that you have provided, and I hope I could connect with you, to get started!?!
Hi Angela,
Thank you for your comment, and thank you for sharing your thoughts on GAZ.
You can definitely connect with me, and the best way to do that is through Facebook Messenger.

Hi Jack,
Was sent the link from a person advertising GAZ. I watched the webinar and almost got hooked.
I then searched up reviews on GAZ and came across this page. I am thankful that I got to read the reviews from many others that had also watched the webinar.
Personally, I am not afraid of hard work, but am looking for financial freedom that will enable me and my wife to spend more time with our kids. Unfortunately GAZ has definitely raised a lot of questions and fears.
Hey Thomas,
Glad that you found this review helpful!
I hope that you’ve already found a suitable program to follow, if not you can check this out.
Hope this helps!

Hey Jack,
I’ve just recently (2 days ago) signed up to GAZ on a referral from a close and trusted friend of mine. I know she isn’t the type to lead me astray, but perhaps she hasn’t really told men everything she should’ve. Because I am still within the 14 day money back period, I thought id ask your opinion on what I should do next. I am going to take advantage of all the training and what not they can provide me within this period, but do you think it is really worthwhile to invest time and money into this long term? if not, what should be my next step?
I get a really genuine feeling from your tone on this article and you really strike me as someone who definitely knows what they are talking about. So, as someone who is totally new to online marketing but extremely driven to create an adaptable and financially free lifestyle for myself, id love to get your personal opinions on my situation.
Thanks a bunch in advance for your time and for this article, I look forward to hearing from you.
Hi Liam,
Thank you for your comment!
My honest opinion is that if you follow the training of GAZ, there’s a chance that you can earn money from the program, but that’s after you have purchased a product from Enagic (which cost a few thousand dollars).
I am not so sure about the effectiveness of the marketing materials of GAZ right now, but I definitely do not see them promoting much online these days, as compared to when I was writing this review.
I do believe that the GAZ training works, but they are geared towards promoting GAZ itself and the products of Enagic.
If you truly want to learn how to build an online business from the ground up where you can promote anything you want online, then I would suggest that you check out Wealthy Affiliate.
For your situation, I would say that you should take advantage of what you can learn from the 14 days and decide if GAZ is the right program for you to go forward. At the same time, you might also want to check out Wealthy Affiliate with their free starter membership (free trial without credit card details) which explains what you will be doing online to earn your first dollar.
Thanks so much for your comment! Please feel free to ask me any questions.
Cheers!
