Legit or scam?
And if scam, what is the scam exactly? Is it effectively like an online casino where the house usually wins despite his claims?

"My name is Jay, I’m a 28 year old guy from Bristol and everywhere I go, I always get asked ... “Jay, How are you able to travel the world, yet you haven’t worked in years?” Well, since 2012 I have been making on average £6432 every month on the Internet so I decided to write this blog to help people do the same thing.
Before we start you must know one thing: You probably won’t become a millionaire with my system but this is not my goal, for now all I’m interested in doing is traveling the world and having the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want."

Would you trust a man that holds a dog like that?

as someone who works in online marketing - this might be a very legit system, but he's probably going to get money from you before he tells you. He probably sells the online training as a "product"

There's a few vids on the company linked to this system, and it seems they like to disable youtube comments.
That's usually enough of a sign that there's something up.
If you ever and I mean EVER thinks it's a scam, it's probably a scam dude

Probably one of those multi level marketing/sales things. Enjoy alienating all your friends after trying to recruit them.

"2) Once you have created your account you need to make your first deposit. I would recommend anywhere between £100 to £300 (the more you deposit, the quicker you will start profiting)."
the road probably ends here. but if you're ballsy, give it a try and please do tell us how it goes!

since we're on the topic, there are legit ways to make money online in customer service for certain apps (anything that deals with users able to earn money has lots of csr need... like some fitness apps that reward you for keeping on track), and ads quality rating
both of these options are actual work. you won't feel like you're beating the system after you spend 8 hours rating advertisements... but yeah, its a great gig for some like stay-at-home moms and vampires

my friend made a shit load of money selling those shitty knives to every family on football team, he was a smooth operator but it was still annoying as shit when he turned it on me
if you're over 18 and doing this you should prolly be culled

this. my mother got into this kind of stuff for a bit and didn't make shit from it. she's since moved on to reupholstering furniture and selling it on etsy for side cash.
don't do any of this kind of shit, OP

My cousin has made $50k this year on the side buying/selling on eBay. He sells Apple electronics and beats audio. Makes $ doing nothing being his own boss. I'd look into something like that before being fooled by multi-level marketing if I needed money.

Thank you all.
It was pure curiosity - we see so much of this stuff now, especially on the internet.
Though the responses were insightful too!
So long Jay.

looks like this discussion might be ending but i had been thinking about it
a good rule of thumb, a BS-o-metric if you will, for non-contractual online earning is that it wouldn't survive as a public money-making tool if people won 100% of the time
you should generally think of third-parties offering you money as requiring 50%+1 failures to turn a profit and thus exist.. and they're usually aiming for something like 70-80% failure rate. that allows them to pedastalize the small successful group in advertising campaigns, but still make maximum money off a stable stream of failures. these companies know that people browse the net with their wallets wide open and are generally ok with taking a few minor financial losses on a gamble.
if you're really entrepreneurial, you should focus on developing those skills and produce something that people want to buy and feel good about: some kind of educational course, a simple invention, some digital content, etc.
'if you build it, they will come' is an old saying here. now its more like "they're already here, waiting for you to build something." just my 2 cp

Just curious, does he buy everything on eBay and resell there?
