Success With Anthony Review:
Introduction: Success with Anthony is described as “a training course designed to show you how to start your own online business, even if you have no previous business knowledge or experience.”
Pros: The program appears to be presented through a series of video training sessions that provide step-by-step instructions for developing an online business. The content may have value for the new-to-internet-marketing person if the steps are carefully followed and systematically applied.
Cons: The landing page currently is controlled by a 5-minute video presentation that visitors cannot bypass to reach the main content of the web site. If the viewer actually reaches the content, it is filled with lengthy text, no clearly stated pricing, and no About Us information.
Prospects are required to fill out an application complete with name, phone number, address, email address, and commit to a one-on-one coaching session with Anthony before being allowed to the members’ area.
Pricing Information:
Pricing information at the website is carefully concealed. Reviewers indicated spending $7, $49, $1500, $2500, or even up to $5000. It is unclear what you get in terms of materials or coaching for the higher-priced levels.
Once a prospect provides a contact phone number, he or she will be bombarded with one-on-one consultation phone calls from Anthony’s “team” with upsell offers of costly special training packages for the “really serious” business developers.
Note: The products were banned from Clickbank in 2011, apparently because of the high volume of demands for refunds. Based on a 2012 Better Business Bureau report, Morrison’s companies are not BBB-accredited. Morrison’s books and products are marketed through third parties and as such his organization is not responsible for refunds of products sold – consumers must contact the third parties for cancellations or refunds. This is disclosed in the terms.
Product Overview:
The products (videos) are marketed as training to help individuals develop successful affiliate marketing businesses. The training is described as reasonable for an incoming marketer but not worth anything more than the least price level.
Who is it For: Success with Anthony is for people who wish to develop an internet business but have no previous online marketing experience.

Training/Tools Overview:
The training tools are a series of videos. There is nothing that indicates how the materials are delivered – online or disk sets delivered by mail. Some consumers describe the content as unoriginal, cobbled together from various sources, and without continuity. It is interesting to note that those who spent time studying the material and applying the marketing methods reported having made at least some money and stated that Anthony is a great teacher.
Support: There appears to be little-to-no support unless the consumer enters at or upgrades to the higher support levels.
Price: Unclear – $7 up to $5000, as reported by some consumers.
NOTE: Members are offered freebies like 5 free web sites BUT consumers describe having to also purchase two years of hosting for approximately $300.00.
Summary:
Proceed with extreme caution. Ask yourself how many red flags do you need? This organization has:
• No “About Us” information
• No stated pricing on the landing page
• Advertised “free websites” come with hidden costs
• Persistent and annoying up-sell contact by phone and email
• Mediocre-to-basic training materials
Locating any meaningful information about Anthony Morrison, the company, or how to contact him through any of his business websites is almost non-existent unless you are willing to watch one of his “hook-em” videos. If you decide to exit the video, a series of pop ups will try to keep you hooked to the very end. Give this “opportunity” a failing grade and walk on by.
