AMBSDR Reviews 160

During July 2022, I watched a webinar advertising the AMBSDR course and it seemed to be very promising. He gave us a full slide show demonstrating how he’d helped so many other people build fantastic life changing incomes using his AMBSDR system.

He showed slides and explained the process he’d used for 23 years as a ‘Brand Ambassador’ to make himself several millions of dollars.

One of the points that was heavily emphasised was the fact that many people would see an income return either during or by the end of the 6-week certification program.

The webinar in July 2022 had lots of slides with titles such as ‘Make Money Fast’ ‘You are about to have the opportunity to make as much money as you Want’. There was a slide quoting “Gillian” stating that “Who else has made 10x their investment back in less than 6 months after joining AMBSDR? I have! Comment below”. Another slide from a comment from “Chryssa” stated “For those who cant write a complete sentence like me…These articles are for you! I’m averaging $780 per day by just copying what works”.

A list of promises were made, including:
- Coaching 3 times per week
- Concierge – 1 on 1 help with anything you ever need
- Cheatsheets – save more time and make more money
None of these promises have been delivered on, not only for me by for any other member who joined AMBSDR.
He then put up a slide and announced his ‘365 Day Guarantee’. He explained that most people only offer a 30 day guarantee whereas he would guarantee his course for a full year. If at any point in the 365-day period anyone wanted a refund providing they had completed the certification and done the work ‘I’ll eat the loss’ he said. He stated that it was ‘Zero risk' and said ‘I’ll return every penny’

He finally stated that using his considerable expertise, he’d build a blog in real time called Lucks List. This he said would be doing ‘6 figures’ by year end.

Sadly, none of the above was true. A long trail of broken promises and false claims of earnings are what this imposter is all about.

After meeting other very unhappy AMBSDR members, I was informed that this is not the first time that Chris Luck has sold courses to people that have not delivered on the promises. I believe he has used different names, such as ‘Mack Michaels’ + ‘Maverick Money Makers’. Also look for 'Cell Phone Cash' 'Millionaire Society' or 'GodTube - The Success Principle Walkthrough'

The forums about 'Mack' make very interesting reading and even better listening if you go on YouTube to catch one of the aforementioned webinars, If he sounds the same as 'Chris Luck' it is. The guy has gone by several pseudonyms over the years.

What of AMBSDR?

The 365 Day Guarantee was a total lie. He reneged on it. He secretly changed the terms and conditions for the refund guarantee to 14 days, and also back dated the updated T&Cs policy to before July 2022, which is both highly unethical and illegal. And now his team refuse and ignore requests for refunds when it became clear that his program did not work. I wrote to his support 5 times for a refund and got ignored.

In all the time on the AMBSDR forum, I did not see one post from anyone who had made money aside from derisory sums of a few bucks. Many people wrote hundreds of articles and subscribed to expensive software recommendations all too frequently for no return. The other 1* reviews on here are correct in that.

Ignore the 5* reviews on here. Notice how many of the reviews were left on the same dates? These are people who were incentivised with the promise of entering a draw in exchange for writing a review.

The extras such as the 3 times per weekly coaching and the concierge service never materialised. Empty promises.

Despite the push in the webinar that people would ‘Make Money Fast’ that promise never materialised either.

So many promises have been made and none of them have been delivered. This AMBSDR course does NOT deliver and you will NOT make any money following this methodology.

Do your research and don't get taken in by this charlatan. I’m contacting the BBB/FTC and putting a case to them.

A complete waste of time and unfortunately money.

I bought the course 8 months ago after viewing Chris's promotional video which states you will be making money within 30 days! Plus has numerous (fake) reviews of people achieving this. I was very impressed by the course structure and completed the certification and started building my blog.

Writing a blog a day is very time-consuming but Chris Luck kept stating on the weekly live training video's that you had to keep writing blogs so Google will pick you up. 8 months later I am drained from the work I have put into this for NO return. Luckily I have savings as there has been no income from this at all.

Chris should not be allowed to keep plugging this course. I have not seen anyone state in the community within AMBSDR that they are making money, instead, they just believe what Chris keeps saying and continue on blindly.

I asked for a refund on the course which was clearly advertised that you can within 365 days of purchase. But Chris or any of his team will come back to me. I have contacted them 5 times and have just been ignored.

DO NOT BUY THIS COURSE

An absolute disgrace.

Many students (including me) initially approach the AMBSDR program with high hopes, anticipating valuable insights and tools for online success.

However, we were often left disappointed due to Chris's inadequate guidance and the escalating issue of deindexed blog pages.

This lack of direction suggests that Chris's primary concern might be generating revenue through course sales rather than ensuring the educational integrity and practical success of his program.

Unfortunately, an environment of censorship has developed within the program. Members expressing their concerns about issues such as the poor performance of Chris's 'Luck List' blog or their lack of financial success with the course have been stifled. This dismissive approach discourages open dialogue and inhibits the program's potential improvement.

Further dissatisfaction arises from Chris's pivot towards more social media and even paid advertising strategies. This new focus starkly contrasts his initial promise of a no-ads-needed approach, causing a discrepancy between expectations and reality. Chris's claim that students can start making money within a few weeks is misleading. It is unrealistic to expect to generate substantial traffic to your page so quickly, as evidenced by the scant traffic on his own page, despite his 20+ years of experience in this field.

His attempts to draw in new students through lofty promises during his summit come across as disingenuous. His private coaching sessions don't seem to yield any significant results for students, and his authorship offer — allowing his students to write for him as a part of their course — seems to benefit him more than the students.

Additionally, the cost of purchasing the necessary tools for the program is not clearly mentioned. This oversight adds another layer of expense to students, and the omission of such vital information appears unfair and deceptive.

Before making any commitments, potential students should critically evaluate the course, consult independent sources, and make an informed decision.

And let's not overlook the significant issue of refunds. Unfortunately, obtaining a refund appears to be an uphill battle, with customer support seemingly ignoring such requests indefinitely.

As an active participant in the AMBSDR program, I've found that the content seems to lack a comprehensive understanding of essential SEO principles and fails to adhere to Google's recommended best practices. The creator, Chris, seems to be highly inspired by Buzzfeed, but his approach to emulating their success is misguided.

His constant shift in focus, often announcing new courses on various platforms like YouTube and TikTok, is confusing and ineffective as he himself doesn't seem to consistently engage with these platforms. This inconsistency manifests in the program's online presence as well. For instance, his 'Luck List' page houses over 2000 posts, but its keyword ranking hovers around 500, which indicates that the SEO strategies are ineffective.

Additionally, the program's social media presence is practically non-existent, with few engagements or followers. The promise of a successful online presence and wealth creation is thus far unfulfilled, with the exception of the revenue generated from selling this course.

Before investing in this program, I strongly suggest individuals take time to familiarize themselves with the basic principles of website building and SEO independently. This can save both time and money and provide a strong foundation for future online ventures.

Unfortunately, I've found this program to be a disappointment, as it feels like a significant waste of time and resources. Furthermore, it seems that a large portion of positive reviews for AMBSDR are potentially biased, as they often come from individuals who were incentivized to write them during live streams in exchange for gift card raffles.

The program seems like a great investment but unfortunately for folks who are limited in funds this is definitely not something that can be afforded. Chris doesn't make it affordable unfortunately this keeps alot away from the system. $2000 is impossible even with payments.

False hopes. This course doesn't work, and all the reviews are from those who just joined the course because the founder offers various incentives via giveaways. Not one positive review has been made by a successful business.

Take a look at the traffic on the founders website luckslist.com and see for yourself. It doesn't work, and now there are thousands of people wasting their time and money for something that will inevitably fail.

When signing up for the course, there was a 365-Day Guarantee, which stated if you gave the course an effort for one year and it didn't meet your expectations, you could get "every penny back". I've contacted the AMBSDR support team multiple times over the past month asking for a refund and they haven't responded once.

So I urge you to step back and take a look at what's going on here.. the founders website has no traffic, and all the positive user reviews are from those without a successfully running website. Furthermore, the "guarantee" they offered is simply a wait to bait people into joining the course. When you request the refund, they simply ignore you.

DON'T SIGN UP FOR THIS COURSE, IT'S A SCAM!!!

Very disappointed with the course and Chris Luck.

When he tries to sell you the course and when you start the course, he keeps reminding you this is not about making money for him and he just wants to create a 'family' aka community or like-minded people.

The fact is its only about him making lots of money from the members who he hasnt bothered with after he created the upgrade the suckers that pay an extra 10k plus.

The only reason I joined was that he promised a 1-year money-back guarantee. He over-promised with claims throughout the training like articles will rank in days or a couple of weeks. The site that he builds alongside you is terrible and gets no traffic or rank for any keywords.

In the celebrations section AMBSDR nobody is celebrating making any money after 9 months, the only thing members are celebrating is posting their 100th or 200th post.

Keep away from this scammer.

I can't say much good about this course. The fact is that it does not work!
Chris Luck makes millions with somewhat half-assed courses that he creates and then sells.
His own site: "luckslist" is very weak according to current tools. Hardly any visitors. Everything written with AI.
In his AMBSDR course where you are supposed to be an ambassador for brands to sell products on amazon.
All written with AI. Although the Google group has explicitly warned against it. Chris Luck doesn't bother with this and creates/sells a course that doesn't work.
I have not heard from any of the members there in over 8 months that he/she is really making money.
Chris Luck does a livestream every 2 weeks to keep the members happy. He has made a few million from selling this course.
What really annoys me is that he refuses to pay people back their money. That is very dubious. I have also been refused quite rudely.
Be very careful with this guy, don't buy from him! There are courses out there that are much better!

Confidence scam mixed with a shallow pyramid scheme. Charges thousands of dollars for a system that doesn’t work, involves using systems that the creator gets kickbacks from, and has upsells after the creator specifically said that he will never upsell his students.
Asked for a refund within the refund period and was told I wasn’t eligible, eventually got my bank to threaten his credit card processor with a chargeback and his processor elected to refund before getting a black mark with visa. This is unfortunate as the scammer doesn’t receive any repercussions for his scam.
If you are considering taking this course, keep in mind that people who have been faithfully using the system for years have not made any money. That’s a pretty good indication that you should avoid it.
If you have already purchased it, put in for a refund as quickly as you can, if you are refused a refund (you will almost certainly be refused) then talk to your credit card provider and do a charge back.
I strongly recommend placing a 1 star review here so more people know Chris Luck is a scammer and should be reported to the ftc.

I am fully in agreement with previous 1-star providers. This program was not delivered as sold, and has not responded to my requests for a refund which I was promised when I purchased it. Support is terrible and it is pretty much impossible to reach Mr. Luck. He is full of himself and has essentially bribed people to promote his program. He is long-winded and communicates via extended long videos. His content is lost in his hot air delivery wind and was not what was promised. I feel totally scammed.

Was sold on this program as having a full refund policy, have asked for a refund only to be told that it isn't approved due to being beyond the refund window (3 months into a 365 day refund policy).
The owner regularly makes and breaks promises and is delivering a system that simply doesn't work. The internal reviews (which read like reviews of a cult from current cult members) demonstrate that the only way people are actually making money from the system is by referring other people to the system.
Total scam, doesn't work, don't drink the cool-aid.

My name is Tom Prahl. I am retired and 74 years old and not complaining but my main source of income is Social Security so I have a need to watch where my money goes and especially when it goes to a credit card. I will try to condense my first attempt to explain my experience if it goes through the necessary channels and this is a repeat. first purchase:
10/15/ DIGISTORE 24 INC 3DS 800-3567947 FL Merchandise $997 Discover card
Was posted buy it now $200 discount $797 was charged full price. accepted as SNAFU note: more than months Social Security.
Purchased upgrade AMBSDR PLAN 10/26 $1997
included live concierge to help develop program.
After multiple daily requests, please check incoming requests if possible, no response how to talk to live person, chose to not try this and requested refund more than once, again check messages if possible.
Was refunded $1997 but not initial $997. Have made multiple requests since to AMBSDR AND DIGISTORE for refund with still no response. Please help with resolving this issue. William Tom Prahl

While I’m sure the content is great for some, (hence the 2stars) I have asked for a refund (which was a refund up to 365 days to anyone for any reason and he will eat the loss) to be told by his support team click bank refund is 60 days and THAT seems to be what they honour not his word during the webinars or live sessions. Very disappointing as I felt Chris Luck was an honourable family man who truly meant when he said he was in it for the people NOT the money

I got a refund 2 months ago and I felt like it was necessary to let others know of my experience with Chris Luck and this course.
Below I have short summaries of what caused me to get a refund.

- Misleading student testimonials
The testimonials on his site are from people who haven't made any money but are hopeful, or from people who have made between $3-10 after months of work.
In the webinar to sell us on the course, he uses testimonials from students that were running paid ads to sell us on a course focused on SEO.
He made it seem like we could be earning thousands within our first few weeks of joining.

- Misleading income guarantees
In week 1 of certification, he says that you can expect to start making money by the time you finish the 6 weeks, but 99.9999% of people in the course did not have that experience.
SEO can take any from 6-12months (if you do everything correctly) but he constantly refuses to answer that question.

-Lack of real SEO experience
His experience comes from running paid ads and teaching others to run paid ads.
We are all Guinea pigs joining him in creating a business he has never done before, but we have to pay him.
His recommendation of using ghost instead of WordPress when nearly every successful SEO expert says WordPress is the best and 0 competitors use ghost.
I showed him a real data study that conflicts what he teaches and he just simply dismissed it and said the guy who made the study tricked me. But then after I left the course and got a refund, he started teaching people the exact thing that he previously dismissed.
Most of the views on his site luckslist are from students, but he shows it to us as if he’s getting real traffic from Google.
He acts as if abiding by Google’s rules is unnecessary.
One of his former students (Abe K) knows more about SEO and has tried to help Chris multiple times with different things he is doing wrong with his site. Abe said that this course is missing many crucial things that will give us trouble down the road.
Many of the things he teaches us can easily be found for free on YouTube, yet he acts as if he’s teaching us something only he has access to.

- Shady business practices
He used to provide a 365 money-back guarantee but he then changed it to a 14-day money-back guarantee, probably because so many people were not having a good experience.
He makes dismissive answers to tough questions and makes you feel bad for asking.
He deleted one of my posts talking about how his website has 0 articles on page 1 of Google.
He refuses to show us how much his website is making.
He took away the refund guarantee section from the course dashboard and got upset when I asked why.
He makes a large effort on getting people to refer more people to his course.
His course is priced at $2000 when other top industry experts price their course between $600-$1000 and deliver much more accurate information with real data and student testimonials.
He never mentions the monthly cost of running this business until we join the course.
He uses raffle money to incentivize us to leave positive reviews when most of us had 0 success.
He deletes negative or critical reviews from his website, which is why you only see very positive reviews on his ambsdr.com review section.
He uses pre-recorded webinars and acts like they are real in order to sell his course.

Please do research on other courses or free information available to you on the topic of building out an affiliate/authority site. That way you have a better idea of what your options are and decide whether or not this business is right for you. He makes it sound like this course makes you a special "Brand Ambassador," but this is really just a course about making an affiliate site using SEO to get traffic.

Luckily before i purchased this product i contacted them and asked if they would offer a 60 day money back guarantee(i sent 3 emails and was only answered on the 4th some 12 days later) and they informed me that they only offer a 14 day money back guarantee even though its a supposedly 6 week course!!
The only possible reason for this is that they have no faith in there own product and KNOW it does not work as advertised.
PEOPLE BEWARE AND DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY,SAVE YOUR MONEY AND A WHOLE LOT OF HEARTACHE.
Also look at most of the 5 star reviews they have had,they are mostly off people who have only left 1 review which leads me to think they are fake and have been done by someone with ties to this company and notice how they have only written replies to people who have left positive comments and not addressed the problems people have had with them!!!

I will try to be helpful, honest and constructive by giving this review. However, I experienced a lot of disappointments with this program.
I became a member through the profit summit in early summer this year. It was promoted by Robby Blanchard, Topseller No. 1 of Clickbank. They are actually very good friends and now Robby B. is promoting AMBSDR. Yesterday was the big Launch of AMBSDR and before it was a BETA version.
1. All users of the BETA version paid the exact amount that was charged for the users that visited yesterdays Profit Summit for the big Launch of AMBSDR. A lot of people got in, but they do not know what they are getting into. I am so sorry for them. There seem to be a lot of nice and honest people to be in the community.
2. On the website AMBSDR you can see hundreds of positive reviews. You can click on "Reviews" they are accessible for non-members. Those reviews are not real. People were promised to win or get money or Amazon gift cards if they leave a positive review. Each week during the LiveStream there are contest and you can win but only if you leave a review. Why do people not leave a medium or low quality review? Please have a look, there is not one. How realistic is it that there is a program on the market that has 100%positive reviews?
3.It is a digital cult. The leader is not able to endure criticism. There was an SEO-Expert in the community this summer who asked critical questions and tried to help people. Some members that already left the program pointed to critical issues like the huge Google Update in August. What Chris Luck is teaching in Certification will not work in my opinion. Especially when I have seen what real experts in blogging are teaching. Fortunately, I am now on the right program that teaches things that work.
4. When members where asking how the certification teaching matches the guidelines of the google update and if this is not critical if it would not be good to address this in the teaching and community, the leader of the program just said "Ignore it". This was the moment when I realized I have to get out of this program, which was not easy.
5. I saw informational posts from the biggest SEO-experts in the community, published by some members and all Chris had to say was: Ignore it. So his strategy is IGNORANCE.
6. He is teaching that non-organic backlinks are to avoid however his own block has a huge number of non-organic backlinks since August 2022. Why do members not question this?
7. The teaching is very chaotic. One day he is teaching something and maybe two weeks later you will find a video from a workshop that teaches the opposite, e.g. the whole module about writing articles in the certification is only talking about publishing commercial content. Suddenly in August, he started teaching informational content after he said to members in the community "Ignore what SEO experts are saying" (they were talkling about publishing 70% informational content and 30% commercial content) = Chris is contradicting himself in his teaching.
8. I will try to be constructive: the dashboard in the community is overloaded, new members barely find something, it is chaotic and the live streams are very long because he talks and talks and talks, it seems that he likes listening to himself while he is talking. In yesterdays profit summit he said "I am a dancing monkey for you". This is exactly the experience you make when you get into AMBSDR. A dancing monkey but nothing else.
9. And now I am coming to the worst part: he has never show any proof that his system is working and he gave only flimsy excuses. If I look into Robby Bs program you can see screenshots of people having success. In AMBSDR you see screenshots of people making under 10$ profit after 3,4,5 or even 6 months blogging every day. Nowadays you see more people publishing screenshots of blogs that have suddenly 0% traffic because they got hit by the Google Update.
10. In my sales presentation of AMBSDR Chris was crying because he is doing all of this for his girls and he is so emotional. Yesterday in the Grand Opening of AMBSDR he was crying a lot also because he made people post their blow of fate and this made him cry. He is playing with the emotions of people. He got me too, that was the reason why I purchased. I truly believed he is an honest person with real feelings. This is what you get to shown in his sales presentation. However, once you are a member you have to worship him otherwise you are ignored. He barely answers questions, does not want to spend much time with questions during the Live Q&A each week and blame all the members if they do not answer the questions for him in the community. Because everybody has to help everybody as we are one family.
Now as I am out of all this, I am glad and so thankful that people did help me to get out of this cult.

Scammers once you sign up for the course they say you have 365 days to get a refund.I asked for refund because the course isn’t for me.now they saying you have 14days.Refund me scammers they claim they help you succeed they don’t care about you they just want your money and will ignore you.

The leader runs frequent livestreams which would be good if they were to roll out updates, unfortunately, they are more about upselling, getting students to test theories, and flooding the scene with ego-stroking while quashing any hints of genuine concern.
He sells the program on the idea of making thousands in the first month, then once you're in he says that the only way to do that is with paid services and black-hat techniques.
He actively pushes the tools that give financial benefits to his friends despite there being better tools available, he changes other tools frequently so there is little consistency, he is launching the product despite not completing testing, and every promise that he has made during sales pitches he has broken.
AMBSDR is basically you paying to be a guinea pig, and the upsell, associates, is basically you paying even more to develop his asset at the expense of your own.
Expensive and should be avoided!

After 30 years in Corporate America fulfilling someone else's dreams, we decided to work on fulfilling our own a few years ago. As a result, we purchased training programs for Forex Trading, Crypto Bots, Graphic Design, eCommerce, and Facebook Marketplace, all in search of financial freedom.

We contemplated the possibility of blogging for a few years. However, holding us back was the massive knowledge required for a successfully monetized blog. It can be overwhelming, from topic research tools to blog design and coding, SEO optimization, legal considerations, social media content management, and more.

What sets AMBSDR apart is that the certification removes all the guesswork and much of the legwork. It is a clearly defined path to success that instills confidence and inspires execution- two things we never realized the importance of until we joined this program. Above and beyond a training program, it's a community where members can share tips, ideas, and wins. A super valuable support system that not all programs offer.

We just completed the certification program, and our vision of the future is coming into more precise focus. The life we want, one of financial freedom, filled with the pursuit of helping others, is right around the corner. And we're filled with hope and excitement for what's to come!

Hi Chris,
On August 18th, I joined the Ambassador program. On September 8th, I requested a refund. Your staff reminded me that I passed the deadline of 2 wk. (an unfair length of time), so I was not entitled to a refund. I explained my situation as follows and asked that the message be given to you personally, but I was refused. Now I'm just being ignored by your staff! : (

My electricity got cut off for 8 days without warning and I had no way to connect to the program during that time. It wasn’t due to an unpaid bill - it was a whole other issue. So instead of reviewing the program, I was running around borrowing and buying igloos and ice. And because of the sweltering heat in the house, I had to leave town to stay with family in Austin and Houston. Not to mention having to come back now and then to buy more ice so that my food wouldn’t spoil. This would’ve been the time for me to go over the program and make a final decision on whether or not to stay in it, but it was impossible!
At the same time, I've been working on my crypto taxes for 2021, and had to hire a crypto expert. This could run me in the thousands!
Yes! This business may very well provide me with a six-figure income one day so that I won’t have to struggle anymore. But I saw enough of the program (after my ordeal with the electricity) to realize that I don’t want to spend that much time on it - for personal reasons. Besides, I know you’d rather work with folks who are excited about it, and my heart is just not in it.

Mr. Luck, you seem a good, honest man. You have worked very long and hard over the years, and God has truly rewarded you with success! Please have some compassion for my plight! Thank you for your kind consideration. GB
