  Back in October 2023 started seeing *********************** / Fast Start Side Hustle on the internet ,all over the place. Sounded good and called spoke to a coach named **** , seemed he and his wife were both invested in the program and claimed it worked well for them. So after speaking to him a few times over the next couple of weeks ,when i called to order ******* answered Hollands wife and was told **** was in the hospital and will be off for some time. Latter i called back and asked ******* if i could speak to someone in the program to help my comfort level she told me that she would check and get back to me which she did and gave a ************* to call which i did and the guy i spoke to talked highly about the program so with that i called ******* and ordered the Platinum program + admin fee as well as a month of marketing cost about $ ******** . So here's were it goes downhill. Then after a week or two I call to chk how things are going and told I was to late to get in that month, so my marketing would start the following month so i thought at that time it was ok no problem . So the next month goes by and i have 3 leads but no sales. I call ******* again and ask in there advertising they pay out chks to people who did not have a sale and will i get a chk told i would have to wait possibly one maybe two months for orders to come in. So i waited the 2 months no chk so i called the line was disconected. and here I am. And i find out the person that they gave me as a reference was a friend of ***********************.

  Fast Start Side Hustle (FSSH) is not a scam but they do not honestly and realistically describe just how hard it is to break even with your investment, let alone turn a profit, which I feel that it is impossible! After watching the webinar done by the owner, we scheduled a call to get more info. It just so happened that the woman we scheduled with turned out to be the owners wife. We talked with her and explained our situation and thinking about buying 1 account then and 1 later or 2 accounts right from the start. Her recommendation was to purchase both then. What business would want to make 1 sale when they can make 2 sales? First, FSSH is very expensive to get in and there are various levels at which you can get in, the most expensive being about $23,000. Second, the marketing co-ops are also very expensive and have various packages you can purchase with the most expensive being $10,000. My brother and I each purchased the highest level package to get started with FSSH and ****************-op. Plus, we had asked them should we split the $10,000 over 2 marketing co-ops, meaning $5000 in one co-op then when that one closes and another co-op begins wed have $5000 left to invest in the second co-op. We were advised by the owner to go all in and put the $10,000 into the first co-op, so we did. Grand total, we spent about $48,000 for the 2 FSSH accounts and the 2 marketing co-ops just to make about $5800! Thats over a $42,000 loss! Then, we were told by the owners wife in October that one person was going to upgrade their account and we would receive a $12,000 commission around Christmas 2023. That did not happen and we were counting on it because the owners wife used wording that made it seem like it was a for sure thing. In the first week of January 2024, I emailed their support and this is the automatic reply I got: Thank you for contacting FSSH Support.
