Darren Ewert and Mike Dreher: MLM Ponzi of Kangen Water!
I thought that I should share my story on Mike and Darren's $149 Digital Business Owners Kangen Water Scheme.

I thought that I should share my story on Mike and Darren’s $149 Digital Business Owners Kangen Water Scheme. They are marketing this scheme as a 90% done-for-you, trusted system that would allow ambitious digital business owners to operate an online business from the comfort of their own homes.
I’ll provide my honest and impartial opinion on Mike and Darren’s $149 Digital Business Owners Kangen Water Scheme from the standpoint of the consumer. I will be drawing on my personal experience as a former member of the “DREAM TEAM” to offer this information.
As I was a part of the $149 Digital Business Owners scheme, I feel obligated to provide my honest opinion, which is solely based on my personal experience and concerns. My story is not meant to support their brand in any way, shape, or form, but to provide you with the information you need to make better financial decisions if you should stumble upon this business opportunity.
Consider Yourself Fortunate – The $149 Digital Business Owner Scheme
Consider yourself fortunate to have discovered this information because it was not easily accessible when I was looking for testimonials on the $149 digital business owners kangen water scheme on the internet 3 years ago. You might avoid the suffering and grief many former members of the Dream Team, including myself, went through when we were members of the DREAM TEAM led by Darren and Mike.
I won’t go into great length regarding Mike and Darren’s business history, as there is no information on the internet as to what businesses they were involved in, prior to them joining Enagic. However, if you want to learn more about the Dream Team and its two leaders, you can visit the Passive Move blog at https://passivemove.com and The Inspiration College YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/@theinspirationcollege .
What Mike And Darren Claimed To Be
Mike and Darren claim to be Digital Marketing Mentors, Internet Business Coaches, and Business Advisors based on information available on the internet. If you’re interested in reading more about Mike and Darren, click on the links in this article for more information.
Online Marketing Gurus Can Prey On Your Vulnerability
I’ve always considered starting my own online business since I’m a motivated and aspirational person who wants to replace my 9 to 5 job. Naturally, this would provide me with more time to spend with my loved ones, family, and friends. Along with being able to wake up naturally, take vacations whenever I choose, and most importantly, be my own boss. I would also be able to live life on my terms.
Many people who utilize the internet to Google Search Online Business Opportunities have this as their ultimate goal. I must admit that some internet gurus are aware of this and take advantage of people’s weaknesses by offering them these dubious online business possibilities.
How I Got Involved With Mike And Darren’s Questionable Business Model
I was browsing the internet for a work-from-home Online Business Opportunity about 3 years ago. Some days later, I went on my Facebook personal page to browse and see what my family and friends were up to, and also, to maybe watch silly cats and dogs videos. I’m quite sure you can relate to this. Can’t you? A Facebook ad appeared on my newsfeed while I was minding my own business checking what my family and friends were up to. This Facebook Ad distracted me somewhat.
The Facebook Ad discussed how I could live the laptop lifestyle working from home and managing my own online business. It continued by saying that I would be able to leave my 9–5 job and live a lifestyle of freedom. I must admit that this advertisement sounds just like the business opportunity I was looking for. I was interested in learning more about this business opportunity, so I clicked the learn more button and a landing page with the eye-catching subject “Online Workshop Shows How I Begin Earning Money Online” popped up in front of me.
It went on to say that:
Life doesn’t have to be a grind
Stop Stressing About Your Bills
Travel And Live On Your Terms
Discover How To “Walk Away From” The 9-5 Grind
The message that was communicated by these bullet points was what I wanted to hear. I registered for a live workshop by giving my name and email address. I was immediately redirected to a thank you page after providing my name and email address and pressing the “Register My Spot Now” button. The notification says, “Congratulations”, you are in! Your invitation to our live webinar has been emailed to you, and you’re welcome to watch the replay right away “.
I was quite excited to enter this workshop and analyze the noise. Although I waited for the day of the “LIVE” webinar, I decided to devote 90 minutes of my important time to watching the workshop replay. Every week, they held “Live webinars” on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There was no need to view the “Live webinar,” as the material presented in the replay slides would have been the same for all subsequent webinars. The only minor distinction between the weekly webinars was that various DREAM TEAM members would volunteer to appear as guests on the webinars each week.
Some Topics Covered In The Webinar Included:
How to operate a home-based online business.
How to leave your 9-to-5 job once your business grows.
How to live your life according to your terms.
The system does all of the selling for you, so you don’t need to.
A “proven system” that is “90% done for you” will be at your fingertips.
For the system to function, you must put in the additional “10% of work”.
There were other topics covered in the 90-minute webinar that I won’t get into here. The worrying aspect of the webinar, though, was that I was still left in the dark regarding the product or service I would be providing to potential clients. After 90 minutes of rumblings, I was informed that I would have to pay $99 to know what the secret product is.
It seemed a little strange because if I was going to receive training to become a Digital Business Owner, I would want to know what product or service I was going to provide my potential clients. I was wondering why I need to pay before they can tell me what the product is. The webinar presenters purposefully withheld important details about this mystery product or service, and even in 2023, they are still withholding information from their prospective recruits. I will explain later in this article why I believe the product or service was deliberately withheld from me and other viewers of this webinar.
What To Expect From Mike And Darren After Watching Their Webinar
At the end of the webinar which is meant to provide information on how I could own and run my own online business, I was pitched what I would call a “FRONT END OFFER” which comes at $99. At the time I joined this Business Model, it was at $99. The amount is now $149.
The $149 package includes the following:
“The tools I needed to succeed with this business”.
“The marketing training I required to promote this unidentified product.
“The products required to start my business.
Bonus 1: “Access to their “Elite Mastermind”
Bonus 2: “Custom-tailored Sales Funnel Solution,”
Bonus 3: “A Personal Mentor” to assist me to expand my “Company”
I still had no idea what I would be selling despite seeing all these bonuses and offers of training to manage my own online business. So, when did you know what you were going to sell? This might be the question you are asking. I’ll address this by walking you through The $149 digital business owners kangen water scheme and show you how manipulative and deceptive this group of people can be.
Please be aware that this group is recruiting you for a multilevel marketing company called Enagic. However, they disguise this process with an affiliate marketing training scam. Similar strategies are utilized by other sales funnel groups similar to Mike and Darren’s $149 digital business owners kangen water scheme.
The $149 Digital Business Owners Kangen Water Scheme – Joining Process
You’ll see their members’ ads on Facebook, YouTube, or Google.
After clicking on the ads, a landing page will open.
To Register For A Free Recorded Webinar, Enter Your Name And Email Address.
On the thank-you page, you will see a replay of a webinar.
Watch the webinar, which lasted around 90 minutes.
A $149 front-end offer will be made to you.
You Will Be Brought To A Checkout Page If You Purchase This Deal.
A confirmation email with your receipt and links to several videos will be sent to you which will provide more information about this mystery product.
You’ll Learn What The Secret Product Is Once You’ve Seen Those Videos. It’s recommended that you view those videos as slowly as you need to.
After you watch those videos, the coach will encourage you to schedule a strategy call with a “mentor” who will be assigned to you.
If you accept the strategy call, your “mentor” will now have the wonderful opportunity to pitch you on the trifecta package, which might cost up to $10,000, in addition to your huge marketing budget on Facebook, Google, and YouTube.
Please be aware that after having your strategy call with your “Mentor,” you will not be able to get your $149 back. Do not make the call if you need a refund.
Unfortunately, I made the call and after realizing that I will not get the $99 back, I started to have buyer’s remorse. I was asking myself, “What have I done?” Of course, I didn’t want to lose my $99 so I had to continue to the next level with this questionable business.
The SD501 water machine was the model I purchased at the time, and it cost me $4000.
Your Next Big Step If You Decide To Go Ahead With This Business Model:
Your coach will offer to you some options on how you can finance your products. These options are:
Buy The Machine For Cash Using Your Credit Card
Make Monthly Payments Via the Enagic Payment Plan
Take Out A Bank Loan To Buy The Machine
Well, when I joined Mike and Darren’s dubious scheme, I did so with a credit card. I paid a down payment to Enagic using my credit card, and I had 15 months to finish the remaining installments. Making those monthly payments was difficult at times, but I was able to finish them all.
My Reasons For Quitting The $149 Digital Business Owners Kangen Water Scheme
I’ll now explain why I chose to leave the Mike and Darren-led DREAM TEAM:
After filling out the paperwork for my Enagic water machine. The papers were sent to Germany for processing. A few days later, my Enagic ID was sent to me by Enagic. I was now an independent distributor for Enagic. After I received my distributor ID, my coach was notified and I was given full access to the training from Mike and Darren’s online platform. I’ll give you a quick rundown of what their basic member’s area training entails.
I received introductory training on Facebook advertising (My advice would be to learn Facebook Ads from free videos on Youtube as their Facebook training is quite basic).
I was urged to read books on the laws of attraction and to think positively at all times. In the member’s private section, they recommended certain books for me to read. I did not expect that reading Laws of Attraction books would align with my Religious views.
I saw a video of Tony Robbins making a motivational speech. Of course, Tony Robbins’ videos are available on YouTube for free.
I had access to what Mike referred to as his Masterminds videos, which essentially featured DREAM TEAM members discussing their Enagic businesses and where they are in the business cycle.
I also joined their “Secret Facebook Group” and several of their members greeted me as a new “ACTION TAKER”. When I first started to ask questions about specific topics, the members of the DREAM TEAM would first come off as extremely kind, helpful, and lovely, but as soon as I started asking challenging questions, they would respond that there is no place for negativity in the group.
Also, you are not permitted to post anything negative in the group, as this might result in your expulsion from the community. Regrettably, the majority of the material offered in the member’s section is publicly available online. To be completely honest, I have to state that during my time in this group, my “Mentor” was not very helpful to me.
How Will You Market This Enagic Recruitment Business Managed By Mike And Darren?
The advertising platforms utilized by the Dream Team members to promote this business opportunity are Facebook, Google, and YouTube. To advertise this business opportunity on Facebook, I had to create an ad. The goal is to get new people to sign up for this system. Naturally, the leads you received from your Facebook advertisements are those who clicked on your ads and were sent to a landing page where they provided their contact information. Your “Mentor” will let you know that you have a buyer if those leads take action as you did and purchase the $149 front-end offer.
Please be aware that even though you now have a customer, you won’t begin receiving commissions until the customer in your downline purchases an Enagic water Machine or their expensive trifecta package and follows the same steps you did. To view a video that will give a more thorough description of Mike and Darren’s Sales Funnel Recruiting System, please visit my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@theinspirationcollege .
Facebook Advertising Budget Could Be Pretty Large
For this “business,” your Facebook advertising budget could be pretty large. My Facebook ads were costing me as much as $4 per lead. If you want to get any noticeable results from Facebook Advertising, you must spend at least $10 per day or $300 monthly. You are still not assured a successful campaign with that budget. Do you have that much money to spend on ads each month?
Also, keep in mind that even if you launch a Facebook Advertising Campaign and get 100 leads, this does not guarantee that any of those leads would purchase anything, let alone the back end’s pricey water machine. Click on the following link https://www.digitalbizmentor.com/ to see an example of the landing page that you will be given to promote this questionable business. You and the other DREAM TEAM members will have similar landing pages with similar content. Also, you will be directly competing with one another via Facebook, Google, and Youtube ads to recruit new members into their pyramid scheme.
I have made mention of Youtube and Google Ads because I noticed that some of their members are now using these two platforms to promote this scammy business model. The reason that they are using YouTube and Google as advertising platforms is that Facebook is shutting down their ads account.
Facebook Business Account Terminated
When I joined this DREAM TEAM group, my Facebook Advertising account was terminated a few weeks later. I was able to utilize a different unused account, though. After a few months of operating this so-called business and running advertising, I was able to get over 100 leads. Sadly, I was not able to convert even one lead to purchase the Front End offer of $99 at the time. The fact that these prospects received 30 days’ worth of automated emails, yet only a small percentage of them bothered to open them.
I realized at that point that I would have to deal with reality. I understood that I had to decide whether or not this “Business” was right for me. I realized that selling these pricey water filters would not be simple. No one is waiting in line for pricey water purifiers.
If you disclose the nature of what you do to anyone, they would tell you that it is an MLM business. Multi-level marketing firms are stigmatized, and as a result, it is challenging to promote the products manufactured by these businesses.
Why Didn’t Mike And Darren Disclose The Secret Product In Their Webinar?
I promised you earlier in this post that I would explain why I believe Mike and Darren recruited people into the $149 digital business owners’ kangen water scheme while pretending to be teaching you how to operate your own online business. The reason is now apparent. Naturally, you wouldn’t be interested if these two Enagic Independent distributors were to tell you upfront that you were going to spend a lot of money on a water machine and then find people to join you in making the same purchase so that you could receive a commission from your downline.
Instead, they mislead you into believing that they are teaching you how to start and operate your own online business by using a Sales Funnel like every other Affiliate Marketer. You find it much simpler to accept this strategy, but the issue is that you are tricked without even being aware of it until it’s too late. Therefore, I can declare with confidence that Mike and Darren employed misleading tactics to get unsuspecting people into their Sales Funnel to become Enagic Water Machine Distributors.
They Promise Product Research
Also, it is stated that you will receive training on conducting product research; however, since they have already conducted this research and are aware of the product you will be selling, there is no need for them to provide you with this training. All they did was explain the product to me. I did not do any product research. Again, that was deception, and it is still deception because they continue to promote this deceitful system.
A lot of information is now available online about The $149 Digital Business Owners Kangen Water Scheme, created by Mike and Darren. You will be able to find some useful materials online that will provide you with additional in-depth details about Mike and Darren’s business model.
Who Else Needs Information On Mike And Darren’s Enagic Sales Funnel System?
Many people desire greater open disclosure of Mike and Darren’s business model. Better Business Bureau is one such organization. The Better Business Bureau has asked Mike and Darren for certain information on their business practices, but they have not yet provided it. As you can see, I’m not the only one who can summarize and say that Mike and Darren’s Business Model is vague and lacks transparency. If you decide to join this group, you should go beyond this post and use the links I’ve provided above, to get more information before you spend your hard-earned money.
I’m no longer a part of The $149 Digital Business Owners Kangen Water Scheme. I left because I didn’t think everyone who joins this dubious ‘business opportunity’ would profit from it. Also, with no buyer and no assistance from the “Mentor,” my Facebook Advertising budget was going through the roof, so I made the smart decision to quit.
What Did I Do With My Brand New Water Machine?
The final price I received for selling it on eBay was only £1000, less a £116 seller’s fee. As you can see, I spent over £3000 on a brand-new water machine, and I only received £884.
Conclusion
Please use caution with all of these dazzling shiny objects online. Something that seems too good to be true probably is. Take heed!
