The question is “is onlinegelt.com a scam or is it legit”?
The business called onlinegelt is unquestionably in my opinion a legitimate business. Its owner is offering you some basic information about how she believes you can be successful in the world of “affiliate marketing”, once your appetite is whetted, it is offering you a product (information in this case) how to go about setting yourself up to take advantage of this (estimates are) almost 6.5 billion dollar a year business.
To answer my own previous question about data available in the library. If you would pay for a sefer that is a likut on say hilchos shabbos then I don’t see why lihavdil you wouldn’t pay for this. You can just as “easily” learn through hilchos shabbos yourself and don’t need the likkut sefer and you can just as “easily” (in quotations because I have not tried and don’t know how easy, or not, it is to gather this data yourself) do the research research on affiliate marketing. Like every product you consider buying, is the time saved worth the purchase price? The actual content? That is up to you to decide once you buy it. The seller claims it is valuable information that has worked well for her.
What affiliate marketing program(s) you join is more important than is Mrs. Braun legitimate (as with all yidden, she has a chezkas kashrus with me – she has done nothing to destroy that chazaka as far as I am concerned).
If you already have an online business, you’ve probably heard of affiliate marketing. If you don’t, you will need one.
As an aside, those who make a living in the anti spyware/adware space, are thankful for affiliate marketing and the business it drives their way. As with all businesses, there are plenty of shady charachters and adware/spyware is a legitimate concern, to shoppers (I’m sure gelt 201 comes with enough reminders that if your website damages peoples computers, they are not coming back to your site).
Personally, I am a bit weary of a business model popularized and revolutionized by the adult entertainment industry when the web was still in its infancy (its one of the reasons most spyware lands you on a porno site).
