Let me guess, you are currently looking all over the internet for information on The Cherrington Experience or TCE. You may be searching for Adam Cherrington or Cherrington Media Mentorship or The Invisible Affiliate System or Adam’s Method.
If so and you are in the preliminary process of evaluating whether you should invest in the Adam Cherrington mentorship program, you’ll be glad you found me and this article.
I’m going to give you a complete overview and review of the Invisible Affiliate System and Cherrington mentorship program as that of an insider.
Please note that I will not be paid for any affiliate commissions related to the Cherrington Experience and I will not include any affiliate links to the mentorship. Honestly, I hope that you don’t choose to invest your hard earned money or go into massive debt to join this program.
I hope that you can learn from my mistake and others that I’ve connected with.
First of all, TCE takes a sizable investment. The options are 3 month, 6 month, 12 month and then there are Done for You VIP packages that take a very large investment.
The 3 month mentorship is somewhere around 15k. The 6 month mentorship is around 25k. The 12 month mentorship is around $40k.
Then he has VIP Done for You programs that start around 100k.
If you are on the fence about investing and/or you try to back out, you can get a 15% discount on the total. At least that was my experience.
The Cherrington Experience
Cherrington’s Affiliate Marketing Program is designed for individuals looking to break into affiliate marketing.
The program emphasizes affiliate arbitrage, where Adam Cherrington teaches strategies to earn profits by promoting products like electronic devices or gadgets through paid ads.
His approach deviates from traditional traffic and advertising methods like Facebook or Google ads, focusing instead on buying ads in newsletters and large mailing lists that are only accessible through his mentorship.
The program also encourages people to promote the actual mentorship itself to others. They get you on this one with the sales process claiming that you can make your money back exponentially faster if you promote the mentorship.
In listening to chats in the Invisible Affiliate Community, I have yet to hear about anyone actually making a sale of the mentorship program. I did hear of one person that broke even with the front end product sales.
They claim that you should expect to spend at least $5k on mentorship advertising before seeing your first mentorship sale. Not a lot of people are okay with dumping $5k into a black hole of advertising they have no other control of.
Inside the Mentorship
The Cherrington Experience Training Videos
What’s offered consists of Training Videos broken down into Core Training, Software Training and Workshops.
The Core Training consists of The 7 Pillar Workshop, The F.O.R.M.U.L.A. and The 14 Day Blitz.
Many of the training videos are outdated and perhaps the biggest complaint from most people is the fact that The 14 Day Blitz only goes up to day 3. There were promises from early November of 2023 to late January 2024 that it would be updated “within the next couple of weeks”.
Another common complaint was there was supposed to be a navigational tab or video on “What’s Working Now” that just about every new person asked about in the community forum only to then be directed to completely disorganized trainings, recorded coaching calls and haphazard tutorials.
It seems as though that’s where many people “fell off” and became discouraged. Because The 14 Day Blitz that went up to day 3 talked about setting up your initial campaign around a listicle. Then people were told to choose a single product. And then apparently, “What’s Working Now” was a product called NeuroEase.
So EVERYONE jumped on promoting NeuroEase and NO ONE seemed to be reporting any great success stories other than a sale here and there.
Invisible Affiliate System Proprietary Apps
Adam built these proprietary apps that everyone in the mentorship gets access to. Here is how they are described within the program:
*IMPORTANT: Welcome to over $1,200,000.00 in proprietary tools. These were developed exclusively for my 27-man team at my affiliate company. You won’t find them ANYWHERE in the marketplace. They were built for my team, and now you. You now have an insane advantage over your competition. Simply put, if you utilize each of these resources, no one will be able to compete with you! Enjoy!
Cherrington Media Affiliate Networks
And then there are the affiliate networks that you can be auto approved to join just by being a part of the mentorship. The primary one is Media Mavens. Media Mavens is Adam’s affiliate network which is why he could auto-approve everyone to join.
The TCE Coaching Call Schedule:
Many people are still holding down a 9-5 day job and if that is the case, you will be sorely disappointed to learn that the vast majority of coaching calls occur during your working hours. You need to go back and watch recordings in order to catch up and learn anything new.
Here is the call schedule as of January 2024:
I’m including it because you need to know and be aware that in the guarantee, you are required to attend at least 20 calls among other things in order to be given a refund. I don’t know anyone yet that was actually given a refund upon request.
Initiation and Sales Process
I’m going to cut to the chase here for anyone looking for more information about TCE and that may be on the fence with investing in the mentorship. I’m going to say this loud and clear: Listen to your gut! If you have any doubts at all about this program, listen to your gut and run.
The sales person you are talking to is just that, a sales person, not someone that has successfully done any real affiliate arbitrage marketing. They are really good at selling the mentorship program.
They are going to tell you that the quickest way to make your money back is by promoting the mentorship yourself. But, during my time in the mentorship, I never heard of anyone actually making a mentorship sale. I just heard people complaining of dumping more and more money down a black hole of advertising with nothing in return.
It takes a lot of money to get into the mentorship and a lot of additional advertising funds to run your ads whether you are doing straight affiliate arbitrage or if you decide to promote the mentorship itself. In addition to the mentorship cost, you need at least $10k in available funds to test and run ads.
Early on in my mentorship (around Christmas time 2023), Adam told everyone that if you create a video testimonial, he would give you $2,000 in ad credit on Live Intent which is the main media buying outlet you use in the mentorship.
So, you can bet that, one, all the testimonials you might see about TCE are paid for and, two, if he can hand out advertising credits like that then clearly he is getting some kind of kick back on all the traffic you are buying to sell the products that he also gets a kick back on.
I fell for it even though at first I felt as though I had nothing authentically positive to say in a testimonial. Nonetheless, I created him a video testimonial and I received $2k in advertising credits. I spent that as well but only made a couple of sales from it. Not nearly enough to make a dent in the massive debt I took on in order to be a part of the mentorship.
This guy really breaks down the sales process here and the frustration with it all. Have a look:
The 90 Day Action Based Money Back Guarantee
Forget about getting a refund because it’s virtually impossible to meet all the requirements. I came close. I met every requirement except the $10k ad spend requirement which is impossible to meet within 90 days.
Here are the requirements:
- Attend 20 coaching calls
- Request 5 marketing reviews
- Utilize the VA Team
- Share Your P & L Statement at these spending milestones: $2k, $4k, $6k, $8k. and $10k.
- This is the kicker: If you have spent $10K in ads and haven’t generated at least $5k in revenue and meet all the other requirements, you can supposedly get a refund of your investment.
I say supposedly because I don’t know of anyone yet that has received a refund. I know because I’m keeping in touch with most of the disgruntled students that have attempted to get a refund.
My experience was that I spent over $6k in ads in 3 months and only generated 4 sales for a grand total of $478.00… not a very good trend. I’m still spending so that I can hit the $10k spending limit required to get a refund. But, in order to spend the full $10k I literally will be spending nearly $400/day for my final 10 days on unproven ads to make that requirement in 90 days.
Now, keep in mind that I went into this as an experienced affiliate marketer with a pretty decent technical background so I was able to move faster than the average student that came in with no affiliate marketing experience whatsoever let alone any knowledge of the basic terminology that gets thrown around in the mentorship early on.
What I’m saying is that if you have no background in affiliate marketing don’t kid yourself into thinking you can spend $10k on ads within 90 days. Even if you have a background, it’s difficult to do if you are basing your spending on sound testing of advertising campaigns.
Results
While there are a few success stories, the program’s effectiveness varies greatly. Adam Cherrington claims a 95% success rate among his students, but this is not verifiable. If I had to verify it based on my participation and experience in the mentorship and community, I would say it’s a 95% failure rate. As usual, it’s typically the top 5% that actually make any money in affiliate marketing.

Conclusion
Adam Cherrington’s Affiliate Marketing Program offers insights into affiliate marketing, particularly in using alternative advertising methods. However, the high cost, focus on profit over product quality, and lack of transparency in results are factors to consider.
For those interested in affiliate marketing, it may be worthwhile to explore more affordable and ethical alternatives. And, I have a couple of decent resources for you to explore that take a fraction of the investment required for The Cherrington Experience (TCE). I’ll go over those next.
