One Dollar Riches – Oh Really?
Okay, let’s cut to the chase. No, not really riches.
But hey, they must be doing something right since the OneDollarRiches.com site is very popular with such low Alexa ranking. So let’s take a careful look at One Dollar Riches and review what this really adds up to.
The Background
This One Dollar Riches program pays you $1 every time for all your referrals who buy the program. Simple.
The people behind One Dollar Riches don’t pay you, the $1 is paid by your referrals directly to you via AlertPay.
The Pros
Payments go through AlertPay, a well recognized and reasonably well respected payment service that deals with these type of programs regularly (PayPal doesn’t allow these programs.)
It’s a basic affiliate program. Easy to understand and simple payouts. No commissions to the middleman company, just the standard AlertPay processing fees.
It’s a nice clean single page website. Not much to get confused about and little in the way of hype beyond the obvious “$1 makes you rich!” stuff.
They are clear what they made this site for:
We are looking for leads for our business opportunities and we’ve found a way to pay you $1 per lead.
Basically they want to get a list of MLMers that they can market to down the track. You refer others, and they get their contact details. That’s why they are doing this. Very smart for them, but is it smart for you?
The Cons
There is no product. You get nothing for your $1 except a replicated website to sell the same product you just bought. Oh, and some training on how to get more referrals to the site.
You don’t need the site. You could do the same thing by emailing your friends to give you $1, and then tell them to ask others they know to send them a $1. No website is needed, except perhaps for making the whole thing seem somehow ‘respectable’. And you and your referrals won’t get put onto their lead follow-up system.
It doesn’t say who is behind it – no name, no face, no attempt to have someone you can hold responsible.
Money-back guarantee. This is strange. Not only does the money paid never go to the website owners themselves (it goes direct to your referrer via AlertPay) so how can they guarantee it without losing money, but even worse, almost 99% of sign-ups will qualify for this money-back guarantee ie they will NOT make $100 or more from this system. So the owners of this system must be either,
- relying on the fact that people won’t be bothered to apply for the guarantee, OR,
- have done their sums very carefully so that they can wear a cost of $1 per sign-up, OR,
- they plan that this business will disappear as soon as such guarantee requests come in. Hmm.
The Bottonline On OneDollar Riches.
How can one call One Dollar Riches a scam when it only costs $1? Well, I can’t be bothered trying. The facts are laid out above, and if I’ve missed something or misjudged something then that’s what the comment section below is for.
You probably found this post because this post is ranked so high in Google. This is just one of the online marketing and lead generation methods you can find in the training I recommend for all forms of internet MLM marketing.

Comments on One Dollar Riches – Oh Really?
Very good review. I been searching the internet for someone who would explain to me what this program was really about but all I could find was people promoting it. I was thinking of hooking up with this but before I did, I tried to contact the ADMIN of this site (through their contact page) because I had a few very specific questions I needed answered that were not covered in their FAQ’s. They say that that they respond to emails within 48 hours. I wrote them a week and a half ago…NO RESPONSE! I don’t ever do business with people that won’t communicate with me. Thanks for your excellent review.
Ken McDougal
Thank you for the excellent review, yours is the only one I can rely on for this program.
I was just about to register for it myself until I read your review. There are many programs that offer a 100% Money back guarantee and I don’t think this is one of them who really meant it.
@Ken: Thanks for adding that in. Very disappointing.
@Urban Scrubs: Thanks for the compliment, and glad the information helped you. There is soooo much to choose from online.
Hi,
I`d like to add my experience with OneDollarRiches:
I bught the website one month ago, i promoted in a lot of places and after 1046 visitors (hit counters) not a single sale. Weird. So i asked a friend of mine to buy this site using my link we made it toghether and guess what? That poor dollar never came into my alertpay account.
So the advise is for everybody to stay away!
We pay one dollar to have the` honour and oportunity`to promote the site and the admin see day by day how his account is growing…right?
regards, grig.
Hi,
thanks a lot for such a lovely review. I really appreicate your effort on warning us from the fake sites.
In addition to thanks i would really like to put forward a question to you, If you can warn the people about the fake site, can’t you just put a bit of more effort and show the viewers the real site from which they can generate some money by spending their time in internet??? Won’t it be a great help, if you are really upto the help the people??? Well if you are upto making your website popular this might be a good oppertunity for you as well. I believe i didn’t write something bad to you, but i would really appreciate if you can make upto this effort to find a genuine website where people can generate some money.
Thanking you in advance
@ban grigore: Thanks for the note – one more reason to be wary indeed.
@Aris: I am judging this on it’s merits, not comparing. Lots of other things make money. Take a look around this site.
Well, I don’t understand what all you are talking about, I have this site, and i get paid almost every day, this site is doing great for me. So, what are you all crying about?? Some people complain about anything..
@James: Despite the comments above *I* didn’t say you don’t get paid, even if it is a pittance. I haven’t bothered to try it so I don’t know.
What I so say is that if you have enough skills to make money from this site, you also have enough skills to make SERIOUS money, which I assume is where your real dollars in your avatar come from James. If not, let’s chat and I’ll show you many times more than One Dollar riches.
Hello Dr Martin Russell.
How are you? So, i see that you know many more money making websites. Please let me know, i do have a few myself, but, there is always room for more. Thanks Buddy.
@James: Okay – I’ve sent you an email.
@Dr Martin Russell:
So, send ME an email too Doc!
I was about to jump into this, but I have been down the “cheap” road before.
Many folx will say “what the hell, it’s only a dollar” and just forget about it all if/when things don’t work out – it’s only a dollar after all, right?
And yes, if you are going to go through the trouble of IM, you may as well get PAID for your efforts.
I have been through sooo many plans – haven’t we all?
They all promise “riches” for little to no effort, well MOST do anyway!
They ALL make it sound so easy.
Then you find yourself involved in something that’s just not worth the volume of time, effort and money involved.
If someone can SHOW ME PROOF that One Dollar Riches is so great, well I’d like to see PROOF, of HUNDREDS of dollars earned in one month!
PROOF POSITIVE!
Not just a few payments that may have actually come from the same person making the claim!
Till then,
SEND ME AN EMAIL TOO Doctor!
@Tony H: Even if they sent me proof, I’d just know they had sold it to many people who couldn’t be earning what they did. And there are better uses for their talents.
It’s the mathematics of an unsustainable MLM (and for those who need to make this distinction clear, then this What is MLM post might help.)
As requested, I’ve sent you an email.
I should have read this before I signed up. Only a $1 so I just hoped it would work. The other costs of advertising I didn’t figure on. I would also like to know about the legitimate web sites to make some real money
@John McD: Lots of places can help you make legitimate money – first clue is if they provide a legitimate product or service that someone would want to pay money for, even if there was no earning potential in it.
Key Question: “Would I recommend this, even if I wasn’t earning money from the recommendation?”
For what I do, go to the Contact Martin page or drop me an email if you are already on my lists.
I would be interested in any advice you may have
Regards
John
@John McD: My advice is to contact me directly.
Hello Dr. Martin!
I am eager to make some online bucks. Please show me a way out.
Regards,
Newaz
@Newaz: Okay. I like “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” author, Robert Kiyosaki’s, answer.
When Robert was asked what would he suggest someone invest in if they only had $10,000, he said “Invest in your education so you know how to answer that question for yourself.”
I recommend this MLM education program (and yes it has an income stream built into it.)
@Dr Martin Russell:
Please , send me an email too .
Thanks .
Hello Dr. Martin!
It’s one of the best reviews of what OneDollarRiches really is, i’m interested in your methods of free traffic generation, do you have a tutorial?
Greate review
@Lomas: I use recommend this training for all my traffic generation, because it’s how I learned to get all this free SEO traffic

Dear Dr Martin Russell,
I am much very interested to know which sites are really legit. So far I have only found cl__sen__. It would be great if you could help me on this.
I am about to visit link after this to learn.
Great review.
Dear Dr Martin,
Nice review. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Crystal
@joromajr88: It’s not so much which sites are legit (they change so fast) but which plan will allow you to stay in business no matter what happens. Even good businesses can go down, exciting ideas don’t last, and rules on the internet change.
You need a solid plan for a money maker.
Just Wanted to let you all know that i have made another $240.00 Today. I just post my link to craigslist, and in days i made this much so far, and still rolling in..
Thanks One Dollar Riches…
@James: Congratulations James! That is really amazing work.
BTW here is a thought. For $240 you created about 250 buyers in a day! Assuming a 10% signup (it could be 30%, could be 1%) that means you had 2500 targetted prospects follow your link. With my current averages when I get that many targetted people hit my sales funnel I earn way more than $240 AND I get to keep their names and email addresses for my follow-up and ongoing sales.
As I say, if you have the skills to do this program well, you are accepting a 5-figure income one-time, while missing out on a 6-figure income AND building a list you can monetize for the rest of your life!
Hello Dr Martin.
When People go to my link and purchase, I do keep their E-mail address, and i show them where to post their own link. They have to go throu Alert Pay, and Alert Pay gives me their E-Mail address, And I can send them other ads as well,
I Have Looked at your link that you sent me, and to tell you the truth, it was very confusing, Maybe i am stupid, But, I just could not figure it out..
One Dollar Riches is simple, and cheap, Maybe That is why people like it.. I Know I Do..
@James: Well, one thing for sure, you are definitely not stupid. Collecting the email addresses from AlertPay is brilliant! That one tweak is, I suspect, a game-changer. In effect you are getting paid the $1, AND you are getting all the value that the One Dollar Riches program gets by having the lead!
Let me ask you a different question then, how do your back end sales from your ‘other ads’ compare to your upfront sales from One Dollar Riches?
Well, My Other ads don’t do as good, Because they are more expensive, it seems like everyone likes the cheap way. Can’t say i Blame them..
@James: Well One Dollar Riches thinks it is worth collecting so if they are to live up to their guarantee they must have their numbers worked out.
A rule of thumb is that a list of proven buyers is worth ten times a list of freebie opt-ins, but One Dollar Riches is probably attracting the lowest form of buyer with such an unbelievable and cheap offer, so they may be not far off a freebie list.
But I have at least 3 specific techniques for how you can turn that situation around, so I’ll drop you a note and let’s chat.
@Aris:
Read Gene’s comment and you will then understand what has happened to you and or dollar.
Hello Dr Martin Russell.
please show me how you know many more money making websites. Please let me know, Thanks
Dr Martin Russel can you please show me other methods on how to earn money online (“almost” no investment)? it would be a great help if i can came up with few bucks for my extra time. surveys won’t do since am currently in the philippines thanks
@vladimir doychinov: Boy I find this a scary question to answer.
Because there are LOTS of money making websites and methods. James has shown you how to take even One Dollar Riches and make hundreds and even thousands of dollars from it. In fact i would suggest there are fewer scams than people think. BUT I’ve seen lots of people take a great money-making method and FAIL miserably.
So I can lower the risks, but it will still be up to you.
For example, this one will give you 100% commission which means that you need to only get ONE referral and your costs are covered. Not only that but it will help you learn the powerful art of blogging that is a money-making skill that everyone marketing online should learn about. And at a turnover of over $2 million so far there is money in it for sure. The rest is up to you – http://www.empowernetwork.com/almostasecret.php?id=Careful
[P.S. When you sign up on that link I will even send you solid article content for your blog so you don't have to worry if you don't think you have anything to write about.]
@ariel: Philippines means that you are well-paid if you are earning US$250 a month, and if you are any good you might be able to get hired at http://onlinejobs.ph or http://bestjobs.ph where I have hired my staff. However your English isn’t up to the standard I need, so see if you have other skills you can offer. You can always offer any skills you have at http://www.Fiverr.com for a few dollars.
@ban grigore: Maybe, you did not put your Alert Pay Account Number in Correctly, I have this site and i make cash all the time… So Easy a Cave Man Can Do It…
@James: hi,please send me link for money making sites
http:// *** REMOVED BY ADMIN *** .blogspot.com/ it’s the best way to earn online.I hate scammer’s.just see this site.
@sweetyg: That was spam. And bad.
If you had left a nice bit of valueable info about WHY it is a valuable site, and then said there is more great info on your site – then that is Attraction Marketing. And it works.
I left your comment here to help others market better
Im about to join and pay,but i think to search a little bit after I was promted to alertpay payment mode,I am glad i read this review,$1 is little but its hard to earn online such amount.
Hi DR MARTIN RUSSEL,
You are doing a nice invaluable job and i commend you for that. I am living in africa and i need advice from you on how i can make money from the internet.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you.
ABBASS.
@Marivic: There are lots of ways to earn a dollar, even online. The real issue is how to turn it into a full long-term income, and this program isn’t it.
@abbass: The same way you make money offline. Find something people want and will willingly pay for, and deliver it to them for a fee. Now that could be $1, or $5 (Fiverr.com), an affiliate commission (Affiliate Marketing Training), an MLM like the one I am in, your own business or almost anything people pay money for.
Of them all I would recommend starting with affiliate marketing because it is the easiest to do and has good profit potential.
