The AZ Sniper system is advertised to make you $1500 per day working just 10 minutes a day. That’s over a half million dollars a year with no experience and barely any effort!
Those of you who’ve read my blog and other reviews know that I’m skeptical of any claim like this. So I took a look at this system, and it was no surprise that I consider their claims to be very unrealistic. See why in my AZ Sniper review below!
What Is AZ Sniper?
AZ Sniper is one of the latest make-money-online systems, and was created by a man named Stephen Ford. The program costs $37 to join, and you can access it at AZSniper.com.
The system involves finding a niche and selling products on Amazon. Here are some screenshots of the sales video to show you the claims made about what this system does:
While watching the sales video, here are some of the things that stood out to me:
~Â Â You are supposed to identify with the founder of AZ Sniper, Stephen Ford. He tells you a story of how hard his life was as he tried to make money online and failed time and time again.
Then his 14 year old nephew showed him how to make money with Amazon. From there his system was created, and he wants to be unselfish and share it with everyone.
This doesn’t sound like it has any more truth to it than all the stories you hear about in other programs that I’ve given our lowest rating to.
~Â Â We are told that a one-click system is powerful enough to make us up to $500,000 a year working 10 minutes a day.
As an affiliate marketer who has a website that promotes products on Amazon, I can tell you that this is a far-fetched claim. It’s not impossible to make a lot of money with Amazon after a few months and years.
But those profits are not going to come in “automatically” by you making a few clicks every morning like the video suggests.
~Â Â By using phrasing that AZ Sniper is a “verified system” that is “in conjunction with” Amazon, which is a “completely legitimate” website, it seems to me that they’re hoping to add credibility and make it look like they are partnered with Amazon.
This is not true at all, there is no partnership or endorsement of this program by Amazon.
Despite these warning flags, I purchased AZ Sniper so that I could fully see what the system offered.

What Does AZ Sniper Offer?
After going through a series of upsells, which I’ll detail below, I got access to the AZ Sniper for $37. Unfortunately, the system that I purchased did not deliver the goods.
You see that Step 1 is to sign up for a free commission website with CoolHandle. This is supposed to be a fully optimized site that’s ready to go!
However, you have to sign up for their hosting fee and domain registration in order to get this site, which you have to pay annually up front. This is just a way for the owner of AZ Sniper to get an affiliate commission for everyone who signs up.
Then Step 2 is to sign up for a VIP Members Workshop. It’s supposed to show you how to earn your first commissions immediately.
But this is just a video promoting John Crestani’s Super Affiliate Program. Again, the owner of AZ Sniper will get a commission when you and anyone else signs up for it. Both of these steps are just money-making items for AZ Sniper designed to get you to spend more money!
So finally I was able to look at the program that I had just bought, and downloaded my AZ Sniper system. Here is the Amazon Affiliate Beginners Guide that I received:
To say that I was disappointed with the quality of this system is an understatement. Everything in this guide is general information that can be found on the internet for free. In fact, a lot of it can be found on my website where you’re reading this review!
Sometimes I can say that there is enough information in some of these programs that a beginner would get some benefit. But I don’t feel that there’s any reason to spend money on the AZ Sniper system when the information is so readily available online.
Without a doubt, there is absolutely no way the information in this guide is going to start making you $1500 a day or $500,000 a year. There is just NO actionable content–nothing that is going to drive any traffic to your site or make sales!
The Upsells
There were 3 upsells offered before I could get access to the AZ Sniper system:
~ AZ Sniper X selling for $197
After all the hype about the AZ Sniper system that I just bought making me huge amounts of money, now I’m being told that this upsell is a vital component to my success. Not only that, but they throw in numbers like $1,583,784.48 to really get you excited!
You don’t get any information about what AZ Sniper X actually does or what value it offers. But there’s plenty of talk about fancy cars and traveling around the world!
There’s even a pitch about how you’re not doing this just for you, but that you should think about what all that money could do for your family.
After seeing the extremely low quality of the original system and getting nothing but marketing hype about this upsell, I passed on it.
~ AZ Sniper X for a reduced price of $147
Just in case you weren’t moved to buy it the first time by talking about how you could make your family’s life better, you get a second chance with a $50 discount!
Marketing like this is an obvious attempt to appeal to those who want so much to improve the lives of their loved ones that they don’t see all the red flags.
This system is supposed to make me over $1.5 million dollars a year working only 10 minutes a day. So if that were really true, why would they be so anxious to knock off $50 to get me to buy it?
These are the kinds of things you have to ask yourself when thinking about purchasing MMO systems.
Needless to say, there is no more value here at $147 than there was at $197 for me, so again I passed.
~ AZ Sniper Plus selling for $177
Buying the AZ Sniper Plus system “will mean the difference between making a few sales on Amazon and earning more money than you know what to do with.” What!?!
Let’s recap–the original system is supposed to make me a half million, the AZ Sniper X is supposed to make me $1.5 million, but now I need to buy something else that will make me over $2 million or I’ll really only be making “a few sales”!
Enough said, I passed on this last upsell.

Red Flags And Concerns
There are way too many red flags to consider recommending AZ Sniper, so let’s go over them here:
~ False Testimonials–As evidence that you can make big money with AZ Sniper, there are testimonials from people who say they’ve made a lot of money with the system. In one case, a woman says she made over $64,000 in just 6 weeks!
However, much like many other MMO programs do that I don’t recommend, the testimonials are not real and use paid actors. Here is one example:
This man says he has made over $1500 in one day and over $39,000 in 30 days! But he is actually a paid spokesperson who advertises on Fiverr:
You can see this practice of using fake testimonials to market MMO systems on several of my recent product reviews:
~ Misleading Profit Numbers–The profit numbers that are used by AZ Sniper are also false. The videos constantly refer to “profits”, but all the pictures you’re shown as proof are actually sales numbers.
Amazon’s average commission payout is about 5%, so you’re not making the figures show above in profit. At a 5% commission, the profit on $1614.80 in sales is $80.74, and the profit on $128,028.34 is $6401.42.
These actual numbers are a far cry from the profits you’re led to believe are real.
Now, if you’re thinking $6400 a month doesn’t seem too bad for a program that I bought for much cheaper, think again. The fact is that you haven’t figured any costs of getting the traffic for those sales yet.
The cost of paid traffic can wipe out those profits and put you in the red fast!
~ Poor Quality System–As I’ve stated above, the AZ Sniper systems consists of general knowledge about how to set up a website to sell products on Amazon. For newbies, I recommend getting the information free online instead.
~ Cost of Driving Traffic–No matter how great of a website you create, there has to be traffic to make sales. Free traffic takes months, even years, to see any results.
The cost of paid traffic can be hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars to generate the kind of sales numbers AZ Sniper is throwing around.
~ One Click Upsells–When I went into my AZ Sniper dashboard, I noticed something peculiar. It was showing that I had access as a Platinum member:
Now, I’ve seen this before in a program that had 1-click upsells. So I checked with Clickbank, and sure enough, AZ Sniper has 1-click upsells!
This means that as soon as I click on any of the upsell programs, my card will immediately be charged for them! I believe that it’s set up this way because when people see that they’ve been upgraded to platinum, they will naturally be curious to click on the upgrades.
I do not agree with the practice of 1-click upsells and believe they shouldn’t be allowed because it’s deceptive in my opinion. I will continue to advocate for Clickbank to not allow this anymore.
Build Your Early Retirement Rating
Here at Build Your Early Retirement, we give AZ Sniper our lowest rating of 1 out of 5.
I don’t believe the program has any value, even for beginners, and most people will lose money trying to get it to work. I very strongly do NOT recommend anyone buying AZ Sniper.
If you are interested in making money online and not looking for something that will claim to make you rich quick, affiliate marketing is a great business model.
The program where I learned how to create a successful online business is legitimate and has a free starter membership where you can see all the features they offer.
If you’re looking to make extra money, you should consider a side hustle. You can check out more about it in the following video:
I now have 6 websites hosted with them and still learn something new every day from their online community. You can read my full review here and see if it’s something that looks right for you!
Have you had any experiences with AZ Sniper or any of the other programs I’ve reviewed? If so, we’d love to have you share them or any questions you may have in the comments below!
Another absolute lie revealed. Wow, how would you claim that you can help people make 6k a week. That’s totally outrageous. People are naturally gullible and can be prone to scams like this because of the money they think they can make from it. We need to realise that making money online requires a lot of work and time. The upsells are already a red flag. If one can really make so much, I don’t think the owner of this platform would take so less for registration and fix such upsells. I hope we get to learn. I have never been scammed by this people bevsuse I was lucky to get something good at my early search.
As long as people can be convinced that they can make money fast and get rich quick, programs like this will exist. Hopefully people will do research online and read reviews so they can get a different perspective about what they are getting into!
intetesting review you have up here and surely a great help for me. I got introduced to this Az sniper of a thing by a friend at work but it just doesn’t feel okay with me and decided to carry out a little research on it and I’m glad I got to know about this dubious platform. The hype was too much and I got really suspicious with the claims of overnight riches with limited work. Thankfully I didn’t buy it yet. I still see no reason why they should make use of fake testimonials, seriously, it’s bad and inhumane. Thanks for this enlightenment
The marketing hype is always a red flag for me. I have yet to review a great program that makes unrealistic income claims.
You have great instincts, and it’s always wise to do research on any make money online program that you are considering!
Hey there Janelle,
Great article. Talk about in depth and thorough. You reviewed every square inch of this product. After your review, I can see that this product is no good and I need to stay far away. Quick question, how can I join your program? I notice you mentioned that you’re an affiliate marketer, so I would like to know how to become one. I don’t like the whole “get rich quick scheme”. I just want to build something solid, even if it takes time. They say businesses are like babies, you have to be patient with them and guide them and nurture them. Well, anyways, take care and good luck.
Thank you,
Eddie
You’re exactly right about an online business being like a baby–you have to nurture and develop it into a money-making machine, and that takes time.
My top rated program taught me everything I know about starting my business and earning money online. You can read about all of its features in my review at:

I will check out your link at the bottom of the page and see what are my best options. thanks again and cheers!
If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to let me know–cheers to you as well!
Hello Janelle,
It might be making Stephen Ford $1500 a day, but I think that will be a short-lived reward for him.
Any site that makes claims that you can work 10 minutes a day and earn $1500 with no experience is almost certainly a waste of time.
Despite Amazon being one of the top online sites (if not the top) selling Amazon products is not easy.
So unless their system has something that no one else in the world knows, then it’s probably rubbish.
I like the research you did on the testimonials.
Surely this should be illegal?
Sadly many people will buy these kinds of products out of desperation and end up losing more.
So it is really good that you provide a warning so that people can go in with their eyes open.
This is something that I will not be getting involved in and I will look out for his name in the future on other products.
Great job!
Tim
I totally agree that the creator of this program is the one who will be making the money from newbies who don’t know any better! Hopefully, they’ll read reviews before purchasing so that they know better what they’re getting into.
Thanks for taking the time to read my review and share your thoughts!
It really is criminal that these false programs are out there taking advantage of people every day with ridiculous claims and nothing but upsells for more money. I was taken by a few of them, and got nothing. I was skeptical about Wealthy Affiliate, I have to say, but it was the fact that no credit card was required to sign up and the free Starter membership that got me to try it, and I’ve never looked back. They are legitimate and actually deliver what they promise. Great review – hope you save some people the heartbreak of getting ripped off.
Thank you for sharing your experiences! It was the same way with me when I got started after losing a lot of money to a scam program–I was very skeptical. But it only took me a few days to see that Wealthy Affiliate was a legitimate program that offered an incredible amount of value. I now have 6 websites and absolutely love affiliate marketing–good luck to you!
Great Review. Hard to believe that some people actually fall for this kind of scams, so many red flags from the get-go.Thanks, Janelle for making people aware of this kind of fraudsters. 1.500 a day working only 10 min!!!!!!. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is……. Whatever the case may be, always remember not everything is at it seems.
You are exactly right, if it sounds too good to be true, assume it is!
Hey Janelle,
Wow $1,500 a day? I can’t believe there are still some scammers who still do this kind of overpromised ads. I think with many blogs around exposing these internet scams, many readers should know better than to trust these programs. great work in exposing AZ Sniper, super sharp eye you’ve got there detecting that Fiverr Freelancer!
I wish everyone would read reviews before buying programs like this. Once they see the claims through the eyes of someone who has done online marketing, they’d be able to see the program more clearly–and save time and money!
I am inspired by your article, it has a wealthy of information, that I have to admit. For someone who was scammed for so many times in the past, surely, these types of reviews are of fundamental value to beginners. Early 2016, I ended up selling my only car, because of these scammers, and I failed miserably. I at once think, there is no legitimate online program. I was wrong, There are so many legitimate online programs, but, try by all means to avoid those that tell you that you can make money without any effort, those are total lies.
Online business, like any business, require your maximum effort and dedication. You will never make money online by working only for 10 minutes as promised by AZ Sniper, NEVER!
Thank you so much for such valuable info
I’m so sorry you had such a bad experience with scam programs! It’s so easy to do, they know exactly what to say to make you think that you can really make money that easy.
It sounds as though you’ve found a great program and are having success as an online entrepreneur–congratulations, and I hope it continues!
You know what they say if it sounds too good to be true…it’s probably just bull.
I do feel sorry for the people that are desperate enough to believe it. I would love to make that kind of money, but I don’t believe it for a second and all those up-sells and one click sells, just horrible.
There are tons of products like this in the market today that just want to sell you the dream of free easy money without any work.
Making money will always take some kind of work even if it is online. You can’t sit back, and do nothing and expect to get everything, life doesn’t work that way.
You absolutely have it right, and I love your new take on an old saying! These programs are selling people a dream that doesn’t exist. But the real shame is that many of these people would be willing to do the work and take the time to be successful if they didn’t get soured on the idea from these get-rich-quick schemes.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment!
I have seen this name before on someone else site but I never actually read the review nor have I actually been contacted by anyone affiliated trying to promote to me. I will say this one seems way to good to be true. Especially if you know how amazon associates affiliate commissions work. The commissions are only like 5-10% or so so I Free that the profits they show are just the raw sales and not the actual commissions they would be getting.
You are right if you don’t know how to do paid ads right you can lose your money fast. And free traffic especially if you are only relying on SEO then it can take months or years like You said depending on your action towards your site.
Also with that site that you get after paying for the domain and hosting I can bet that site won’t rank since it is mostly likely a duplicate site which like you know. Any duplicate content will hurt you in the search engines. I just think it is sad to see a program trying to sell you program that they say will get in profit with just 10minutes a day. I understand some will Fall for It because they don’t know any better. I know me when I first started online whenever I would find a program that said this and that I would do my due diligence, to find out if it’s worth my time and money.
I know one thing I am glad I have found two programs I stand behind 100% and this AZ Sniper isn’t one of them. Keep up the good work and glad you are helping others find out where they should go to if they need a program to learn how to work online.
I hope the best for you
Matt
Thank you for your input, and I agree 100%. The fact that many people want to believe that you can make fast, easy money online is the reason so many of these programs keep coming out. I used to be one of them and was very disillusioned for awhile.
Finding Wealthy Affiliate has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. After seeing so many bad programs, the value they provided and the realistic way they presented their training in affiliate marketing stood out like a light in the dark!
I hope to be able to give information to my readers so that they can make a good decision about what is right for them to be successful with an online business.
Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Hi Janelle! I’ve been in internet marketing for 5 years now and this is a great review! It was upsetting to read all of the traps AZ Sniper has put up to get people’s money. I think the Fiverr actors should be careful before they participate in sales efforts like this because it ruins their reputations as well. Why would they participate in sales activities that are unethical like this one? Added to that, it’s horrible how they “upgraded” you and charged you without your authorization. I’m hoping Clickbank begins to vet the programs that come thru their platform much better because many horrible products are marketed thru there. Hopefully more people get to see your review before signing up so they can save their money and invest their time into something meaningful.
I definitely hope people do research and read reviews like this before purchasing any money making system. There are just so many programs like this one out there, and it’s hard not to get sucked into the hype when you want so much to start an online business.
I am hoping that Clickbank stops allowing programs to use 1 click upsells. There are many good programs sold through them, but in the make money online niche, there are too many scam type systems. I personally believe 1 click upsells are unethical and would like to see the practice banned!
Thank you for taking the time to comment!
One of the best AZ sniper reviews that I have seen. Great job Janelle! My job is to help people to leave better and have happy life and when I see this false testimonials I get very sad because I don’t know how some people can lie like that only to scam other folks. Thank you for revealing the truth about this program.
You are welcome! It gets very disheartening sometimes because there are so many of these types of programs out there. Hopefully enough people read reviews and save themselves from losing a lot of time and money trying to make a system like this one work.
It sounds like you have a wonderful job and I wish you every success with it!
Great review of another scam system. Your opening paragraph already had me thinking that this system was a scam. Working only 10 minutes a day and making $1500 a day, I mean that is just too good to be true. I think it is great that you are exposing this system and others like it, for what they really are a scam. The internet can be a really scary place, and there are many people out there that are desperately trying to make money, and often fall victim to these online scams. I will be sharing this article with friends, in hopes to save people from being scammed.
I absolutely hate it when programs are advertised by saying you can make outrageous amounts of money fast and easy. Because you’re right–people want to believe them in order to make life better for their families. I was one of them years ago that believed the hype and lost a great deal of money.
That’s why I want to review these money making systems. If one is legitimate, I want to let people know so they can start their online business. But if I don’t believe they’re what they claim to be, I want people to be aware and know it’s likely they’re going to be losing money.
Thank you for taking the time to comment!
$6,000 a day?! I wish. lol. If that was true, we would all be millionaires. I didn’t even think about how much the customers would have to spend for you to get a commission. Which I saw on your article that it is over 125,000. That’s crazy talk. Whenever you publish your website, it needs time to even index in Google. You have to be indexed RIGHT AWAY & then listed as #1 for hundreds of keywords to make that money. AKA impossible.
You are so right, it would be wonderful if making money online was as easy as they want you to believe! Hopefully people will read reviews before buying into this kind of marketing hype and save themselves a lot of money.
Thanks for stopping by!
Awesome review of another unbelievable company. I partially wonder if the creator of this company was like “i’m going to create a program that is less than sub par, and promote it promising the most unachievable commision expectations, just to see if anyone is dumb enough to believe me that I’m telling the trust and this is possible”? Because these claims are just next level crazy!! You can make 1.5 million dollars if you upgrade? Sign me up friend! lol
Thanks for this review, it has certainly entertained me this evening lol
I’ve been writing reviews for awhile now, and the income claims are definitely getting bigger and bigger. I wish it was that easy to make money online–I’d be signing up right along with you!
Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for warning me and other people about his malicious website that lies to people. I can’t tolerate when they promise something that is totally unobtainable. However, as you stated, people that are desperate to give their families a better life may fall for the trap. Especially when they are offer a $50 discount.
Your step-by-step description is just perfect. I will be sharing this post with my friends and family members that may be thinking about looking for options to make money from home. Thanks again!
You are welcome! This system is being heavily promoted right now, so I hope anyone who is interested takes the time to check out the reviews.
If any of your friends or family are interested in making money online, they’ll want to avoid the many scam or poor quality programs out there. My post, Make Money Online Fast–Beware Of The Scams!, is a good guide to identifying whether a program is legitimate or is one to pass by.
