iJango - Center of the Online Universe?
Is The iJango Opportunity Legitimate And Can You Make Money?
iJango is a new network marketing opportunity recently launching that just came across my desk. This article will be dedicated to an iJango review, giving you the facts I know, my impressions, and my sound advice on how to succeed in this industry.
First and foremost, I want to let you know what perspective Im speaking from today on this iJango review. My name is Jonathan Budd and I’ve been a top producer in the MLM network marketing field for several years now.
I’ve been absorbed in Internet Marketing, and have emerged as one of the world leaders teaching network marketers how to use technology to succeed on the Internet. If you don’t believe me… you can google my name. “Jonathan Budd”.
Now, I remember a few years ago something that comes to mind called Agloco. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying iJango is Agloco. But I too participated in the agloco hype only to have all my time wasted.
Agloco was a company that had a similar concept, where members install a tool bar on their computer and get paid when referred people click on ads, or purchase products through that toolbar. Unfortunately, they failed, because the revenue model wasn’t able to sustain itself.
After reviewing iJango…
…I wouldn’t say iJango is a scam just yet, but I would say they need to be A LOT more clear about their product, and where revenue is actually coming from. From watching the current videos they have, I’m still confused as to where any revenue comes from.
After clicking on the iJango compensation plan outline, I still have no clue how it works, or where revenue is coming from. It looks like they have upgrade features so clearly they are charging money to become an iJango director, but that still didn’t tell me anything about WHAT they are actually selling or how I get compensated for it.
These facts about iJango thus far are a little alarming. I’m not going to say I know more then I do… but these are just definite areas I would like elaborated on before iJango is going to start making any sense to me.
If you don’t have a game plan for marketing & self-promotion that you are 100% confident in, use the strategy I lay out in my 8 Day Bootcamp. I’m flat-out giving it to you. CLICK HERE to get it.
What Do I Like About iJango?
Well, for starters concepts like this can gain mass popularity with ease, and things that are free to start generally spread like wildfire. Several of my business partners who are top producers in this industry have been involved in opportunities with low price points, and free to join, and still boast HUGE checks years later with no effort.
So there is definitely something to be said about that part of the business model. However, if I were to look at this any further I jango would seriously need to answer some MASSIVE questions. I’m not trying to repeat an agloco failure like I’ve seen in the past, and there’s to many flags on the table to give it a full green light just yet.
One word of advice if you’re reading this iJango leadership and management, is that you need to be FAR more clear in your early presentation material.
I’m not a dumb person by most stretches. If I couldn’t watch your initial iJango video and look at the iJango compensation plan and immediately decipher where money is being made from… then it’s probably not very clear.
If you want the chance of being able to attract big players, you have to understand their reputation is at stake like everyone, and NO ONE would be caught dead promoting something that could potentially be Dumb or a scam.
I like the iJango concept, but it has yet to be pulled off successfully. If you can do it, and can show some major advantages and results for clients who actually USE the web software and iJango portal.. then that would be a huge step in the right direction.
However, there are some more important iJango training matters to discuss here today.
“While Most iJango distributors get caught up in prelaunch Hype, I NEVER lose sight of the REAL money to be made in this industry.”
I have observed MLM business pre launches happening around the clock for the last 3 years straight, and I really LOVE when they happen. It’s always exciting, yet always similar. And I get a true kick out of the way most MLM distributors act when they’re companies are launching.
You would think the world was falling down on top of you if you don’t join iJango right now! Or you’re the dumbest person in the world right? J I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with it at all, because frankly its all part of the game and it’s a fun game to play.
But Its COMICAL to see. Meanwhile, if you’re been around the industry for anytime you know iJango will come, possibly go, as well as many other network marketing companies. So what is it that matters the MOST in this industry?
What is it that can equal the MOST amount of money, profit, and long term success if these are the natural cycles of network marketing?
The answer to that my friends, is…
“You” Inc.
That’s right, building your OWN list, learning how to market YOURSELF, generating your OWN leads, creating your OWN loyal following of people just like most MLM companies have is the most Sure Fire way to create long term results that are impenetrable to downlines, and hype in this industry.
When I finally figured this out, my entire life just changed.
I went from running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to pitch everyone on my company, to being a REAL ENTREPRENEUR who could comman results to come to me at any time I wanted.
In the last 3 years, I’ve been able to generate over 123,000 leads on the Internet, build downlines into the thousands of people, earn over $350,000 in a single month, and create an asset that will pay me for the rest of my life.
That asset, is my LIST. It’s the 60,000+ people who I can email anytime I want, who are all leads I’ve generated that know me, like me, respect me, and trust me to help them be more successful in their lives too.
If you FOCUS on adding value to peoples lives, on helping people overcome challenges and really develop the TRUE principles of success… you will build an asset for yourself that lasts far longer then the iJango compensation plan, or any other MLM company for that matter.
I have proven this…
…rising to one of the top money earners in this industry in less than 3 years at the age of 25. If you want to waste lots of time building organizations in iJango, and then the next big thing too.. be my guest.
But I’m letting you know its far more long term to UNDERSTAND the principles of marketing, generate CONSTANT leads for your business, and then sell those leads into Multiple income streams.
iJango has its role, all MLM network marketing companies do. Building organizations is a blast, and you can do amazing things on the Internet. But the biggest change will come in your income when you realize it’s not about the company… it’s about YOU.
And when you diversify how you market, what you market, you become a far more powerful entrepreneur that can create more results in these companies like iJango at will.
If you want to learn more of what I’m talking about you can click here: Most Powerful MLM Strategies.
In conclusion:
iJango has a lot of work to do on their end convincing me they have a viable business model. I’ll be looking forward to it, if they do… I might think about promoting it. If not, then I’ll wait for the next innovators to come along and try to nail this concept many people in the past have tried before.
The most important thing however, is that no matter WHAT is going on in the MLM industry you are ALWAYS generating leads, always building your list, and always establishing more relationships and connections with people
This is your asset. This is your long term money maker… The sooner you get that, the sooner you can start taking powerful steps towards living top 1% income lifestyles on the planet.
Rock on, and much success to all of you.
Yours In Mastery,
Jonathan Budd

Your comment is informative but does not reveal the fact that this is truly a pyramid scheme, all the evidence points to it.
I wonder if you were aware of the fact that this is nothing but Ultimate Choice Travel with some new window dressing, see link below:
http://www.ultimatechoicetravel.com/Portals/0/Documents/JULYFAQ.pdf
Something else to consider, there’s absolutely no news about iJango in the media, do a google news search. How could that be from someone who bills themselves as the “Center of the Online Universe”?
Also, most of the people involved with iJango, especially Cameron Sharpe, have past internet fraud stains on their record.
I have been doing an extensive research on Ijango and could provide you with additional details and information if you are interested.
Regards,
Toledo
Like to hear more about IJango
Enjoyed your comments on iJango. Just had a buddy call me literally panting because he thought he’d found his financial “salvation”. I did a quick search and found your article.
I have recently looked at everything from cash-gifting to Noni juice. I make a pretty good living in a traditional sales job (around 175K) but, I can see the writing on the wall….
This is not the Country I grew up in (I’m 46 btw).
I’m rambling so, I’ll quit.
Success,
Todd
I had signed up for this and quickly backed out. They ran my credit card under “Ultimate Choice Travel” – which is one of Cameron’s prior companys/scams. Mastercard/Visa has not backed them, so why should I? Their launch is supposed to be Aug 1 – i’d bet that same $150 that it gets pushed back, and back, and back, that is, if they don’t take all the money they’ve earned already and bounce. Good luck!!!
I’ve actually had a chance to use the site to see what it could do on my own computer several times when they had it up working on the site getting it ready for August 1st its pretty cool it actually does what they show on the video in the pre launch site
really? Cause many people still haven’t seen anything… not sure how you found it.
I’m an ijango rep….what can I say I took a flier on this for a friend. I haven’t seen the portal personally yet either. I saw a demo and that’s it. Its the second of august and the center of the on line universe is not up yet. I wish ijango the best, but I’m not recruiting anyone else until I have a much better understanding of how the pay structure (for use) is explained. Could it work?……Yes. Will it? I’d be more positive if the universe had not collapsed under use in the first hours of use. LOL the things you do for friends.
Good thing I didn’t quit my day job.
John
Also I think Cameron is banging toledo’s girlfriend.
johnfranks
Actually, Cameron Sharpe is banging you-in more than one way.
First, he scams you into believing in his “redemption” and sets up the trap for the second screw: takes your money and runs.
Be careful of the gang-bang, that is coming next: you’ve given up your SS# and CC info, now you’re screwed for ever.
Hope you’ll enjoy the orgy you got yourself into.
I have also joined Ijango. I have had my share of MLM success along with other business success unrelated to network marketing. I get a kick out of everyone talking trash about Cameron Sharpe. He is not the head of Ijango. Steve Smith is a rather successful entrepreneur and if Cameron Sharpe went through all the B/S you see online. Do you really think he is funding Ijango and in total control of our credit cards and SS#’s. Ijango is an amazing tool actually. I know a little bit about Google and internet marketing and how money is generated with out a sale being made. People are going to use Ijango. It simplifies the internet and everyone loves the simple way out. I recently quit smoking and decided to buy 5 people into ijango and use my monthly cigarette money to hook them up. I can think of alot of ways to waste my money but I honestly believe Ijango is going to be a success.
Hope this negative message gets you a lot of clients in your business.
Tom, hey man… if you can defend any of the stuff that is out there on Ijango BE MY GUEST.
I’m just being honest with no vested interest. What about you?
Jonathan – How come there have been no positive updates since the Ijango.com portals were able to launch on Aug 6th? Have you or will you please look into the follow-up. I think your opinion would be well received by both sides of the fence.
I think it is quite astonishing really for a corp. to completely switch hosting solutions in just under a week! From the information I have received…The scheduled launch was Aug. 1st… the original hosting solution for iJango’s “web portals” (10,000+ at the time of launch), was AMAZON – I didn’t even know they offered such services other than selling books, music, movies, and auctions etc… Well – within hours of launching in Vegas and all of us trying to use the new portals we had anticipated… WE ENDED UP SHUTTING DOWN AMAZON’S SERVERS! They thought they were under some virus “attack” and shut down the servers. The very next day iJango was scrambling to get the issue fixed with Amazon (on a weekend no less) and realized immediately AMAZON could not serve as promised. SO IJANGO SETUP THEIR OWN HOSTING SOLUTION/ SERVERS (PROB SOMETHING THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT HINDSIGHT IS MERELY A LESSON LEARNED). This took a few days to accomplish but my god I am impressed they were able to advance the swtich so quickly!
AS Far as the portals being less than functionally perfect…IT IS A BETA VERSION! Just like every other new launched software or program…a test version is administered first! Google does it (Chrome browser), Microsoft Lives it (Windows), and Yahoo (my Yahoo) etc… So the next version launching around October 2009 – will be the Web 2.0 version which has all the kinks ironed out for smooth sailing. Ijango corp. has made it clear to all their reps that this is not the perfect time to go out and “tell all your friends” that the portal is free and the best thing to hit the internet. They are letting us know daily what to expect and learning from us the Beta users. – It is a perfect model business and opp that will only succeed if we make it succeed!
Thank YOU Johnathan for your unbiased expert opinions in the Internet marketing industry,

I signed up for iJango and got caught up in the hype. I haven’t promoted since the initial delays and problems. After initially sending two people ready to sign up, and having the site down both times, I decided to wait a bit. I think it screws my progression by not accomplishing goals in the first 30 days, but oh well. I am not ready to put my rep on the line quite yet. I opened my mouth early, but have kept it shut as I watch. Steve Smith had me sold based on his name. Cameron has me worried, based on his.
So far I am very concerned about the delays and empty promises. I mean seriously, shouldn’t the center of the online universe be Mac friendly? The info-structure is a wreck. You have to send free customers to a .com and paying ones to a .biz site. Stupid. Then the .com version is only Internet Explorer friendly. WTF? Safari is a no go and last time I tried, Firefox didn’t work either (I will admit that was last week on the Firefox). But as of ten minutes ago Safari still doesn’t work. I understand Beta, but I also understand keeping crap in the toilet before you open the lid. The pre-launch needed to be MUCH longer but I don’t think Cameron’s bank account could wait.
When asked about all the information about patents, contract with google they claim, etc, they give nothing. The company won’t last very much longer before they are out and over with it looks like.

Hey what can I say. The concept sounded good but after a month I wish I could get my $150
back. (x x)

iJango is a scam. They now have “F” ratings with multiple BBB across the country.
Google, Rhapsody and Apple have all indicated they have no partnerships, nor plans to share revenue with iJango. All three companies Legal Affairs are now engaged with iJango.
The media all over the country is also now investigating Scameron Sharpe and iJango.
http://www.mlmhelpdesk.com/2009/08/20/mlm-scam-review-ijango-investigated-by-cbs-news-and-the-bbb-for-fraud/
My advise for anyone that has signed up with iJango to cancel the credit card you have on file with iJango, stop selling this scam to your friends and family, and be sure to personally thank Scameron Sharpe if you ever see him.
Scameron found God for the period it took to get more money for Legal and Drug expenses.
I said the same exact thing when someone tried to recruit me into their iJango business. After watching the opportunity video, I was like, what is this company promoting? I couldn’t figure it out. I had to ask the person that pitched me on the opportunity to tell me what the product or service was. Great info Jonathan. 123,000 leads in less than 3 years. That is amazing.
Hey Jonathan,
This is a great review you did on iJango. When I did a whois search on the domain I found it was still registered to Cameron Sharpe but his name is no where on the site to public viewers. So if he’s not running it he’s definitely operating it behind the scenes. I really try hard not to give MLM Companies bad reviews, but I had to advise my readership to be cautious on this one.
Also the video was way too generic and nothing on the site gave me good vibes. Also couldn’t find any top recruiters either.

Before joining any MLM, NWM or biz-op I must perform my due diligence.
This includes a minimum of the following
Name of company
Names of founders
Their resume- a list of all MLM, NWM, or biz-op companies involved with
Schedule C (redacted) to back all income claims
Only after this would product review be necessary.
