I suppose you’ve ended up here after seeing the Real Money Streams (RMS) video that claims you can make $500 per week doing offline or online work.
You had the good sense to check online to learn the truth. In this review, I will give you the information you need so you can make the right decision.
This is another of these websites that give the impression making money online is easy. Unfortunately, it’s not true!
To be successful online will take time and hard work but is possible if you have the right mindset and follow some good training.

Real Money Streams Review
Summary
Pros: You do get some information about online and offline jobs
Cons: The suggested jobs are from websites you can find yourself no need to pay for this information
Owner: Chris Johnson
Price: $37 then upsells
Website: http://www.realmoneystreams.com/
My opinion: Don’t join this program. No need to pay for the very limited information you will receive. You can find everything yourself for free!
What is Real Money Streams?
This is a website that gives you some very simple information about how you can earn money doing online or offline jobs. They also have links to companies that might have some jobs.
When signing up for a program like this I always expect them to have their own list of jobs or their own ways of finding these jobs. You’re paying the fee to have some kind of service. No such luck! All they do is direct you to other well-known or lesser-known websites.
Who is this for?
Generally, the websites RMS recommend have few jobs. In addition, these jobs don’t pay much and take some time to complete.
This is when there are jobs available. With some of the websites Real Money Streams lists, the jobs are few and far between. One of the sites they link to doesn’t even exist anymore!
That’s another problem with this program, the information is not updated.
So, I would say this is for someone who has the time to wait until a job becomes available and then is ready to spend a few minutes to earn just a few cents. For the offline jobs ideally, you will live in a city to avoid travel expenses.
What sort of jobs will you be doing?
When you get to the members area the first thing you see is a video to encourage you to sign up to Aspire, another program you should avoid.
You joined Real Money Streams to earn some money, so let’s see if they have any jobs listed on their website.
Offline Tasks
There are 3 companies that RMS links out to. One of the companies, EasyShift is no longer online, so that leaves GigWalk and Field Agent.
They both work in a similar way. You download the GigWalk or FieldAgent app to your phone. Then you search for gigs in your area. You can use your phone’s GPS to show gigs on a map in your locality.
The type of jobs might be to verify promotions are done correctly and on time, to check that products are displayed and priced accurately in stores in your area or to take a photo of a price tag to see if an article is priced and tagged correctly. For most jobs, your work will be documented with a photo.
This might be quite a good way of earning a few extra bucks if you live in a city and you can get to the gigs on foot. Otherwise, you will use some of your earnings getting to the store to do your gig.
There are both positive and negative comments about both these companies online. What I find a little worrying is the number of people who claim not to have been paid by both these companies.
In my opinion, you should only consider this type of work to earn a little money on the side at best.
Online Tasks
The online jobs that are mentioned may give you some ideas but the only one that caught my attention was copywriting. Freelance writing can be a great way to earn money online.
The other tasks are related to Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT), a site where businesses, researchers or other groups can post tasks to be completed by online workers.
Some people do manage to earn some decent money with AMT. But to start with they earn very little per hour. Little by little as you complete more tasks, which are known as HITs, you can apply for the better-paying HITs.
It’s worth noting that AMT only pays out cash to workers in the US and India. Workers in other countries are paid with Amazon gift cards.
My Opinion About The Jobs Offered
As so often with these programs, all the promises turn out to offer very little. Just 3 companies are mentioned. If you live in a rural area far away from any big cities then your only alternative is Amazon Mechanical Turk.
To be honest paying $37 to have the chance of earning for completing HITs from AMT is a rip-off. However, they do offer some other products and a different training program is included, let’s take a look.
The Additional Products
Money Making Moguls
It’s surprising to see this product in the members area,
as it’s also one of the upsells and here it is for free!
This is a program that provides videos, guides, and e-books about making money online. Apparently, you have access to a new module every month and every module is split into 4 sections as you can see in the image.
To get an idea of the quality of the program let’s have a look at the sort of information they give.
Beginners Method
Get paid to take surveys – I don’t consider surveys as a serious way to make money online, so immediately I question whether this program is genuine.
Advanced Method
Lot’s of training here! This is probably the best part of Real Money Streams, however, the training is not up to date. Some of the websites they talk about no longer exist and some of the information is no longer relevant.
Easy Income Academy
Reports on different aspects of internet marketing. Again some dated information. Some might be relevant but overall there is so much information if you try to read all this you will become overwhelmed.
Money Making Mogul Mindset
Videos, documentaries, and interviews – with successful internet marketers, info about scams and other subjects related to the internet marketing world. Interesting and might give you a little motivation but when you’re starting the most important thing is to take action and start building your business.
Overall, Money Making Moguls provides some useful information. The main problems are the information isn’t kept up to date, it’s not presented in a step by step manner which means you would probably quickly become overwhelmed and there is no support.
If you’re serious about earning money online better to get some step by step training that’s always up to date and provides help and support. This may have a monthly cost which is more than the price of Real Money Streams but your chances of success will be much greater.
Ebooks and Videos
The other products provided by Real Money Streams are e-books and videos. These are mostly PLR (Private Label Rights) products. You can find the same products free of charge with a Google search.
Often with programs like RMS, I get the impression they include a lot of PLR products to make it look like you’re getting value for money. This isn’t the case as you can find the same products yourself for free.
You may enjoy reading these e-books or watching the videos. However, they won’t help you to make money online which is the reason you joined Real Money Streams.
How much does this cost?
The price is $37 and as it’s sold through ClickBank there is a 60-day guarantee.
Upsells
After signing up you are hit with upsells which I don’t like. They try to get you to subscribe to Money Making Moguls VIP Mastermind Training.
What I particularly didn’t like was the underhand nature of the payment process. You think you are paying $47 for the program. But in very small print at the bottom of the page, there is a notice “after 30 days you will be billed $17 per month”.
When you quit this page the same product pops up again, this time for $17 per month. Again I decided to pass on this. I wanted to get to Real Money Streams but there is yet another offer for Money Making Moguls + bonuses. This time the price is $0 then $17 per month.
The strange thing is that you find Money Making Moguls included in the Real Money Streams members area. So, there is no reason to pay for this!
My final opinion
I wouldn’t say Real Money Streams is a scam as they do offer some information. But you don’t need to pay for anything they offer. You can find everything yourself for free!
The sales video states that you can earn $500 a week from doing the online or offline jobs they suggest. These jobs pay very small amounts and will take up most of your time to earn just a few dollars per month.
They fill the members area with articles, videos, and e-books to make it look like you are getting some great value for money. Think again! What they offer are mostly free PLR products that might be pleasant to read or watch but won’t really help you to earn an income online.
No point in paying $37 to get access to Real Money Streams. You will waste your time and probably won’t be any nearer to making money online.
Thanks for reading my review and I hope to have given you the information to help you to make the right decision. If you have any questions or have had experience with Real Money Streams please let me know in the comments area below.

Hi Peter, I’m so glad I checked out “Real Money Streams” BEFORE I agave them my card #!!!! I’m just trying to make ends meet here!!! COVID is finicially destroying me!!! I’m a Home Health Aide, and normally I’m so busy I catch myself coming and going so to speak!! But since COVID started, I’ve lost most of my clients….. What would you suggest for someone like me? I live in a rural area, there is no mass transit and gas is OUTRAGEOUS right now!! I’m sorry to bother you, but sure could use some good advice!!! Thank you!!!
Hi Lori,
Sorry you’re having a hard time at the moment. I think the most important advice is not to fall for anything that promises easy money – unfortunately, it doesn’t exist. Any way of earn money online will take time and hard work. A few of the things you could try are transcription, testing website and apps at a site such as usertesting.com or freelance writing. You may also come across people suggesting surveys or paid-to-click sites, but in my opinion, you spend a lot of time and are paid very little.
There are other ways of earning online, like dropshipping or affiliate marketing, but these will take longer before you can earn any money.
Sorry I haven’t any magical way of earning money fast!

Hi Peter, This is Carolyn Garcia. I’m glad I read your article, but a little too late as for me, Like a not so brilliant person I went ahead and ordered Real Money Streams for $37.00, I’m so embarrassed, and I lost out on my money. I ordered it with a credit card on 9-11-19. However I have been sitting at my laptop for 4 hours already trying to find places on Google of what I could do to get my money back, unfortunately, when it says to contact them (RMS) I tried, it said to email them, tried that it didn’t work. They don’t have any phone numbers to get a hold of them. I feel like an idiot. After they got my card number it says to submit and it will take you to a page of items you can download, well when I hit submit all I got was a page saying ERROR! I was so upset, I feel horrible my own fault, but also lost out on $37.00 dollars, and I hope to God they don’t keep taking out $17.00 a month. Peter can I ask is there any insight or feedback that you would be able to help me with I hope and please. My name is Carolyn Garcia and my email is —. Thank you, Peter and I pray you can help me. Thank you so much and I’m happy I found your site even though a little too late ( lol ) I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you again Sincerely Carolyn Garcia. I hope I learned my lesson from now on check it out first to see if it’s legit.
Hi Carolyn,
Sorry to hear you fell for this program. Don’t feel bad, many of us have made similar mistakes and at least you’ve learned something from it (to always check for reviews before purchasing) so it’s not all bad. And, the good news is – you should be able to get your money back through Clickbank.
Real Money Streams use Clickbank as an intermediary and they offer a solid 60-day guarantee. This article shows the steps to follow to get a refundhttps://support.clickbank.com/hc/en-us/articles/220381867-How-do-I-get-a-refund-
I hope the refund process goes well Carolyn.
All the best,
Peter
Hi Peter,
Thanks for the heads up on Real Money Streams. Doesn’t seem like there’s much value in this program. Either way, it’s good to get the word out on these guys before anyone wastes precious time and money on it.
You’ve been working online for a number of years, what do you think is the best way for most people to pursue to make money online?
I’d love to get your thoughts.
Thanks,
Todd
Hi Todd,
Yeah, you’ve summed it up pretty well, not worth wasting your time with this.
For me, the best way for people to make money online is by setting up their own website and then using affiliate marketing. To get started I think it’s better to follow an online course, there might be some extra cost but it will take less time to earn your first dollars. The other important point is that anyone wanting to work online must realize that this takes time and hard work. No way will you earn money as easily and probably not as quickly as promised by Real Money Streams.
Cheers,
Peter
