Content Marketing Pros fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

At time of publication Content Marketing Pros’ homepage is a “coming soon…” placeholder:

This is deceptive, as Content Marketing Pros landing pages are active:

On said landing pages we find Steven Rachel. On YouTube, Rachel cites himself as a “co-founder of Content Marketing Pros”.

Circa 2022 Rachel was promoting Xifra Lifestyle:

Xifra Lifestyle collapsed in mid 2022. The Decentra Universe reboot was short-lived and didn’t go anywhere.

There might be some overlap here with Xifra Lifestyle, but since 2022 Rachel has promoted:

About a year ago Rachel jumped on the AI marketing bandwagon…

…this brings us to Rachel launching Content Marketing Pros.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Content Marketing Pros’ Products

Content Marketing Pros has no retailable products or services.

Affiliates are only able to market Content Marketing Pros affiliate membership itself.

Content Marketing Pros affiliate membership provides access to digital marketing courses put together by Steven Rachel.

Content Marketing Pros’ Compensation Plan

Content Marketing Pros affiliates gift $100 to $1000 to each other.

  • Designer Pack – $100
  • Creator Pack – $250
  • Influencer Pack – $500
  • Pro Pack – $1000

These gifting payments qualify Content Marketing Pros affiliates to receive gifting payments from subsequently recruited affiliates.

Note that a Content Marketing Pros affiliate must be “qualified” at at tier someone they recruit buys into. If not, that gifting payment is passed upline to the first “qualified” affiliate.

Upline gifting payment pass-ups are tracked via a unilevel compensation structure:

As per the unilevel team diagram above, gifting payments from lower tiers would be passed upline to Content Marketing Pros affiliates who have bought in at higher tiers.

Joining Content Marketing Pros

  • Designer Pack – $100 + $25 admin fee
  • Creator Pack – $250 + 50 admin fee
  • Influencer Pack – $500 + 100 admin fee
  • Pro Pack – $1000 + $200 admin fee

Content Marketing Pros Conclusion

The problem with gifting schemes is, like any pyramid scheme variant, they inevitably collapse.

When a gifting scheme collapses, math guarantees the majority of participants take a loss.

Infinity Processing System ran out of new victims in early 2024. Internet Income System lost 75% of its monthly website traffic over the past three months and is also dead.

Content Marketing Pros sees Steve Rachel launch his own gifting scheme.

As owner of Content Marketing Pros, Rachel is the company-wide upline. Rachel also grifts a $25 to $200 fee from each participant (more if gifting tiers are bought into sequentially).

The other problem with gifting schemes is they’re illegal. They are investigated and prosecuted as fraudulent business opportunities by the USPS, FTC and DOJ.

Breaking down regulatory compliance, when you have participants paying participants in MLM you’re running a gifting scheme.

This business model renders whatever is attached to the model, digital marketing courses in this instance, irrelevant. Think of it like the old “but we have products!” pyramid scheme defense.

A recent example of a gifting scheme being taken down by US authorities is Blessings In No Time (BINT).

The FTC filed suit against BINT’s co-founders in June 2021. The DOJ followed up with criminal charges in November 2023.

Another example is 8 Figure Dream Lifestyle. Initially taken down by the FTC in 2019, the 8 Figure Dream Lifestyle defendants settled for $31.9 million in 2020.

The DOJ followed up with 8 Figure Dream Lifestyle arrests in January 2024.

As with all MLM gifting schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will gifting payments.

This will eventually cause a collapse, resulting in the majority of Content Marketing Pros affiliates losing money.
