Let's Start With The Phony Interview Process
Whether you go to PaidSocialMediaJobs.com or PayingSocialMediaJobs.com, they promise easy money to “mess around on Facebook.”
I was already suspicious, but what happened next just weirded me out…
Instead of the standard sales video and Buy Now button, you're made to “apply” to be accepted into the Social Media Jobs program. Except, it's all just a trick to mislead you into thinking you're one of the ‘chosen few' lucky enough to be chosen as a member.
I clicked Apply and was redirected to an application form I needed to fill out to convince them I was worthy of this opportunity.
They ask nonsense qualifying questions like:
- “Do you have a reliable internet connection?”
- “Why do you think you'd be a good fit for this job?”
Submit the form and you're taken to this screen where they actually expect you to believe there's a real person somewhere reading over your answers and making a decision on your application:
Less than 30 seconds later I was told I had been approved!
But wait…
There's a catch!
You're told that yes, they're in urgent need of social media managers and there is work available to start immediately, BUT you first need to first hand over the $27 fee to secure your spot.
Then there's the added pressure of a countdown clock so you know you don't have much time to take action:
And by taking action, I mean pay up! You're taken to this secure checkout page where you're asked to enter your payment details:
Here on the blog, we've reviewed 100s of make money online products and training programs and not once have I ever seen anything like this.
Was I shocked when I got approved?
Of course not!
We all know everyone gets accepted because the fraudster is behind this program (and we really have no idea who it is by the way) is more than happy to help part you from your cash regardless of the answers you typed into some fake application form.
What On Earth Are You Paying $27 For?
The Paid Social Media Jobs membership is advertised at a one-off cost of $27, though try and click away from the site and you'll see a popup showing a discounted price of just $17.
It's also worth mentioning there are 2 optional upsells to be aware of:
- Upgrade 1: Social Media Arbitrage ($37)
- Upgrade 2: Launch A Digital Product Business program ($47)
What these are about exactly is hard to say… We're only told we need to buy into these to get “even more training” and access to “even more jobs”.
Skip past those upsells and you'll finally see that the members' area looks a little something like this:
What do you get? Well, there's 2 main selling points of the lifetime membership and that's the training and the jobs board – so let's go ahead and take a look at how they work.
The Paid Social Media Jobs Training
Before you sign up you're promised a comprehensive training package where you'll learn everything you need to know about becoming a full-time social media manager.
Unfortunately, I think anyone who sits down and goes through the lessons will be left feeling massively let down.
Why?
Because there's zero mentorship, guidance or support, no over-the-shoulder skill training and a complete lack of practical, actionable steps you can take to actually achieve your online income goals.
While there are a few okayish lessons, I'd say at least 95% of what you're getting is very vague and generic information and nothing at all you can't learn here for free.
Here's a brief overview of what's covered in the 4 training modules:
Module 1: Understanding What A Social Media Manager Is
This welcome module gives you a very general overview of what a social media manager is, what they do and why people hire them.
There is also a short video giving you a basic idea of why businesses need to promote themselves online in the digital age.
Module 2: How To Get Started As A Social Media Manager
This module outlines some of the benefits of being a social media manager and the types of work involved.
It talks briefly about why you should keep on top of your personal social media accounts but again, there's never any specific advice on how you go about that.
Module 3: Finding Clients
In this module, you'll hear about some of the different kinds of local business owners who are ideal potential clients, how to find them and how much you can typically charge for your services.
Module 4: Advanced Training
Finally, we get to the practical ‘how-to' with a handful of helpful tips and strategies on how to run a Facebook ad campaign that generates leads for clients, though not in nearly enough detail to be able to go out there and start doing it.
Believe me when I say there's a heck of a lot of money to be made if you learn social media marketing, email marketing, YouTube marketing or SEO marketing where and you get top Google rankings that attract 1,000's of daily website visitors all looking to buy what you have to offer.
If the creators of this platform were serious about equipping people with the knowledge and skills to quit their day jobs and find financial freedom online then they'd give you more than this to go on.
I fail to see how anyone with no prior experience could read these 4 measly lessons then suddenly launch a lucrative career as a social media manager.

The Jobs Database
Paid Social Media Jobs gives you all the resources and tools to help you find the best social media jobs online as well as details of hundreds of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube jobs updated daily with fresh high-paying jobs.
At least that's what they promise on the sales page…
So it might surprise you to discover that Paying Social Media Jobs don't actually have any jobs!
I know it's ironic but I kid you not, here take a look for yourself:
You see that?
All of the jobs on the jobs database you're paying to access are already available online on Upwork, Freelancer and Guru.
Since these sites are 100% free to join, there's absolutely no reason I can think of why anyone would ever choose to pay a $27 membership fee to be able to do this.
A legit program would never make you pay to view free job listings. Simple.
ONE Thing I Like About Paid Social Media Jobs
The good news is because this is a ClickBank product, you are entitled to a no-questions-asked, 60-day money-back guarantee.
One I fully intend on taking advantage of! 😉
Is Paid Social Media Jobs A Scam Or Legit?
The deceptive marketing, low-quality training and the fact you're duped into paying for free job listings give me no choice but to say Paid Social Media Jobs is a scam.
And I don't know whether the scammer behind this is just clumsy, lazy or both but PaidSocialMediaJobs.com is littered with references to another program called AppCoiner, a well-known internet scam that's been doing the rounds for years.
Take their FAQ's page or successful payment page for example:
Clearly, Paid Social Media Jobs is the new name for an old scam and whoever told you this was a legit opportunity is deliberately misleading you or just clueless.
Either way, I recommend you unsubscribe from their emails immediately because they aren't the kind of people you want to be taking advice from.
Paid Social Media Jobs Final Review Rating
This might be not the solution to your money-making worries BUT… if you're serious about earning a full-time income online, open to learning new things and ready to take action then 100% you CAN make it happen.
Invincible Marketer will give you full step-by-step and proven training you can follow to create and build a thriving online empire.

thank you so much about this review. had just finished creating a paypal account and the next step was to pay but something in me just told me to google first about its legitimacy. and the 27usd i was actually borrowing it. you saved me
You don’t have to make to learn how to build an online business Theo. Check out Commission Academy instead.
I accidentally bumped into this on pinterest. Someone pinned about it and had even written a whole blog on it with links. And as someone who likes to test websites and apps to see if they are legit, I signed up. Now I have been getting these kinda emails regularly. It just looks too good to be true but then why would anyone pay to work for someone else. And why would anyone need trainings to carry out simple tasks like that. I was suspicious so here I m reading reviews.
Thank you.
I started reading payingsocialmediajobs. As I’m looking for a work from home job. Luckily as soon as I got to the bit about membership fee, alarm bells started ringing, as I got caught out before. I then stopped and started looking at reviews.
Thank you for confirming that this company is not legit.
This is so wrong to mislead people like this and they get away with this all the time. All they do is just change their name!!
Exactly Jackie, no reputable and legit company would go through as many name changes as Paying Social Media Jobs (or Paid Social Media Jobs) has!
So happy to have research this!! Saved me 27$
You’re welcome! 🙂
Hi Simon, thanks for the review. When I saw the “fee” for admin & training costs, I went hmmm…? I am currently searching for online work-from-home jobs and came across this one. They are also targeting South Africa, they even dropped the price to $17! One has to be careful when giving out your hard-earned cash for something that sounds legit.
Thank you so much for this review something told me to do so before I invested my time and money.
Thank you so much for writing and sharing this information!
Simon Crowe,
Thank you for your blog. Do you have any advice on PPC and you-tube ads?
Hi Hernan, thanks for reaching out!
These are topics we cover in-depth in the Commission Academy crash course.
All I would say is it’s best to master the art of generating free traffic and conversions first. Let me know if you need any help! 🙂
Thanks for your review. I was going to try 🙏
I’m glad this helped you dodge a bullet Didi!
Hi thanks for the update and info saved me 27 bucks where else can I make money apart from this scam you revealed to me today.
Thank you for a comprehensive review. Please give me an honest review of ministry of freedom by Jonno Armstrong and Wesley billion dollars Virgin…..
Hi Darahaha, I haven’t got round to reviewing any of Wesley Virgin’s courses yet but here’s my Ministry Of Freedom review. The quick version: it’s training people how to scam others online and is one of the worst affiliate marketing training out there.
Try Commission Academy. It’s a free affiliate marketing crash course that I and a fellow super affiliate put together that’s going to walk you through everything you need to know about starting a thriving online business.
Thanks for this! Helped me save $27
Very glad to hear! 🙂
Man,thankyou so much,i almost paid the cash but heart ikakataa…hope no one will pay such cash
Very happy to hear that Malley! 🙂
How I wish I checked them online first, before joining. Yes, I can attest to that. Payingsocialmediajobs.com is a scam. I am currently refunding my payment but Clickbank asked me to directly contact PayingSocialMediaJobs athough Clickbank processed my Paypal payment. I am pushing for the refund. It’s not about the money but it’s all about their fraudulence and bad business practices which are misleading. I wonder why they are still in business anyway. Any suggestion to where this company can be reported? Has anyone reported this scammer company to Federal Trade Commission?
Hi Simon. Ive been Scammed by Swan Currency and CashMall. The so called “Thomas” he’s well known on the Telegram app. And the saddest thing of all, is on Swan Currency is 7000 people but theres always 300 people online, and yesterday i saw the one guys name changed to Daniel Brown, which was weird to me cause his name was Njalo.
Please people watch out for “Manager Thomas”. He is using a white guys photo on his profile, and you can immediately see that that photo was copied from something else.
Thanks for the heads up Eudene!
Thank you so much for the detailed review!! You saved me.
Please could you suggest any legit sites where I can earn money online? I’m so tired of searching and some of the sites doesn’t works in UAE.
Sure thing Hareem! I’m glad you didn’t waste your time and money on this!
Have you tried Wealthy Affiliate?
They have a free Starter membership with the first 10 lessons and the Premium membership is $49 a month. It’s where I got started and it’s a really solid training course and community for beginners.
Give it a test drive here and let me know how you get on! 🙂
Thank you so much for this information Simon. I know wealthy affiliates but I need to understand what it is all about, and how I can make money from it.
Thanks

Wealthy Affiliate basically teaches you how to earn online through affiliate marketing, i.e. where you make money selling other people’s products or services.
Check out my post on What Is Affiliate Marketing And How Does It Work where I go into detail on how you can make money with it.

Sir do you know any free job online homeworkbase since i am a housewife and i also wanted to earn online?
Hi Mirades, it depends on the type of work you’re looking for.
For freelance writing jobs I’d recommend Problogger
For other online work checkout sites like Upwork.
For free training on how to start a thriving online business, Commission Academy is your best bet.
I hope this helps. Let me know how you get on! 🙂
Thank You, Thank you for writing this, very useful information. I have been getting so, so many emails on a daily basis for “paid social media” and a few others. They also want money, some $27, others $50+ such a scam.
I’m a single mum of 2 teenage girls and I’m always looking for online, work from home sites, however they all sound great and seem to be legit, until I Google them, read the reviews ect.
Im interested in “working from home” jobs that are legit, do you have any in mind?
Any info would be much appreciated.
Thank You!
Hi Janice,
Yes, please be careful. There are so many scams online, with new ones being released on a daily basis. It’s an entire industry!
Watch this video I just finished putting together.
In it, I talk about all the different money making methods I’ve tried, which has proven to be the best and give you a free crash course to get started with.
I’m here if you have any questions Janice and you absolutely CAN do this!
Simon
Am pleased with your work sir, is Ezoic company legit by asking for a security fee before giving out a job, or is that a scam?
Hi,
Do you mean the ad network Ezoic, found at Ezoic.com? If so, I use them to put ads on some of my sites and I’ve never had to pay them. You don’t have to pay them.
Your review was a really great help. I already started signing up but I didn’t pay anything. I checked for the reviews to be sure about this job but I checked it out online through you. I had a somewhat decent source I thought that was legit but now I’m realizing it’s not especially when the emails look really generic.
Watch out for the company writeapps they supposedly had a job line for 950/week which I was like hmm ok that doesn’t seem like real but I was thinking 300/week would be better than nothing. So I will try to give everything due diligence. I would like to know if things that are legit that I can do at home for some extra money.
Thank you again for the help.
Your gut must’ve told you something fishy was going on. Good job on trusting your gut!
What kind of thing are you looking for David? Are you looking for a side hustle or to replace your full-time income?
Hi Simon, thank you for sharing the knowledge… I am one of the unfortunates that decided to give it a go and now I am not being able to get a refund through clickbetter either. Did you manage it ? Could you give me some advice on how to get my money back???
Hi Mica, yes I did!
Here’s how I did it.
As long as you’re still within the 60 day refund period you should be ok. Let me know how you get on!
So how do u request them for the refund?won’t they refuse?
Not if you go through Clickbank Kisakye.
Follow this guide.
If you ask them for a refund, they’ll make excuses and give you the runaround so I would recommend you go through Clickbank for sure. You’re good if you bought Paying Social Media Jobs in the last 60 days.
But why it is so hard to get a refund now? Any tip? When I asked a refund, Clickbank immediately closed my ticket support and ask to contact the seller directly. Although I am only 11 days joining the app when I asked for a refund. Now it’s almost 4 days and still not getting any positive reply from them.
Really? That’s ridiculous.
Did you follow my how to get a Clickbank refund guide?
They legally have to give you a refund as they guarantee it in their terms and conditions. Don’t let them fob you off.
Thank you for your post. It is useful for me. I started my online business for a while now and am actively looking for money-making opportunities.
The PaidSocialMediaJobsdotcom sounds interesting to me since it seems possible to make some real money based on their advertisement.
Thanks to your honest review on the program, I don’t need to spend my time to test such program. I particularly like your Pros and Cons analyses. It is straightforward that there is simply No Jobs.
It is kind of you sharing the useful information with us.
An application, then a fee and a countdown timer? All 3 scream scam to me. I love the downsell if you try to leave. It’s just a money grab.
I would think that, if I’m paying for this program, it should connect me with clients, not just tell me how to go find them myself.
Thanks again for this.
Scott
That’s the thing Scott, it’s hard to explain without showing you the lessons and I have to be careful not to show too much, but they tell you the grand theory behind getting clients but nothing you can actually do something with.
I completely agree with you – this program is about the person selling it making money, NOT the people buying it!
Thank you very much for this much needed review of the paid social media jobs, I see your review as an eye opener to others who still fall victims of some random platform out there. When it comes to making any money online am very skeptical about the hype around most of this platform. I do receive countless mail per week promising me some high returns but I really do care less.
