Is Web Copy Cat a Scam or Will You Make Money on Autopilot?
Web Copy Cat has been on the internet for quite a few years and this has picked my interest; if a system is a scam then it is usually shut down after after its first year or two. Anything that involves COPYING for me, is a no-no, which the name of this program suggests.
Is Web Copy Cat a scam then? Will you be losing your money by partnering with Devon? How does the program work and how will you make money? Is there anything that Devon is NOT telling you?
Well, you made a good decision to read my review because I will be answering all the above questions. It’s also always a good idea to do some research to really find out whether a program is right for you or not, unless you want to lose your money to them.

Devon’s Promises
First of all, I like going through the video / promises that a program and its owner makes to you, so that we can better analyze it and to find out whether it has any flaws and strong points.
The sales video shows you a few people who claim they have made money with the system within their first few weeks and come to the conclusion that the system works. Then you have Devon himself who shows up so ecstatic and energic to talk to you about the system.
He explains that he does not want to teach anybody to build their own website or to create their own product. What he wants is partner with you, do all the “hard work” for you so that when a sale is made, you both can split the sale 50/50. he will create the website, he will drive traffic to your website, he will take care of all the customer service, while you can relax and see money come in on autopilot.
This is a truly done-for-you affiliate marketing system, designed for newbies only, who don’t want to go through the hassle of website building and all the other hard work that goes into.
What I Like
1) Devon is a real person, a successful affiliate marketer who knows what he is doing.
2) I like that Devon let’s you get access to the system for $1, because this is not a big risk to take to find out what the system is about and how it will work.
3) It is a truly done-for-you system that will make you money. It’s great for those who want to PAY somebody else to do the dirty work, instead of learning to do it all by themselves. It’s great to save time and earn faster instead of taking the time to learn it all by yourself.
What I Don’t Like
This list is going to be a little longer than the list of things that I like about the system and they are based on my opinion of the program and my experiences.
1) Done-For-You System – Yes, the done-for-you system is an advantage but in my opinion, is also a disadvantage. How can it be a bad thing if everything is done for you, you may ask me?
Well, the problem with done-for-you systems is that you don’t have ANY degree of control over the tools, how you want your website to look and what you want to promote. being your own boss means that you can control EVERY aspect of your business, but with this system, that’s just doing to be impossible.
Done-for-you systems make you dependent on the program and should things be going wrong, there is no way for you to fix it, because you know NOTHING about it. Should Devon also one day decide to close up shop, all your tools, the background team and your INCOME, will all disappear overnight.
2) Devon does not want to teach you to create your own website – Real success online has always come from people who learned the online business and who OWN a website of their own. In my opinion, this is the biggest asset that you can have as an online business owner.
Letting Devon create your website, will NEVER make this website yours. You will never be able to take the website with you should you decide to leave because you only paid Devon so he could BUILD it, but you never paid to OWN the website.
It’s like the difference between owning a property or renting it; owning the property makes you the BOSS of the property, while renting a property makes you a TENANT. With this done-for-you business, you are only a TENANT and paying the BOSS to do the work for you.
But remember, the BOSS is the BOSS; he can leave at any time and there is NOTHING you can do about it.
3) Let Devon build your website (EXTRA cost) – It’s funny how you’re not told in the video that you will need to PAY extra to have your website built. If you go down to the FAQ section, you will find out that you will need to pay around $36 (12/hour for 2 to 3 hours), in order for Devon’s team to build your website.
So at the end of the day, it will not cost you $1 to test-drive the system. The $1 is only to get you access to the system and in order to REALLY try out the system you will need to invest into the website AT LEAST.
4) Autoresponder (EXTRA cost) – Letting you test-drive his system for $1 is a very clever trick in my opinion, although it does have its benefits of not posing a big risk for you. But in one way or another, you will still need more money to be able to earn with this system.
Devon talks about an autoresponder to manage your leads. This is not at all free. You have to pay a monthly fee to keep the service active. If you take GetResponse from my Top 10 Tools for an Online Business post, you will come to know that htey are perfectly legit but that they cost money.
GetResponse will be a minimum of $15 monthly and AWeber, another autoresponder that I personally use, is a minimum of $19.99 per month.
5) Traffic (EXTRA cost) – Not only do you need to invest in an autoresponder, but you also need to SPEND money on ADS to generate traffic to your website. There is no offer to show methods of driving FREE traffic to your website, which in my opinion, is not very cost-effective.
Sure, Devon will do all the work of driving traffic, but it costs about $1 per visitor to drive traffic with his team. If you were to learn how to drive traffic to your website on your own, it would cost you WAY less than a dollar, most of the time, between 15 – 50 cents per visitor.
We come to know that he charges WAY more than what is necessary and that’s just a tactic to make money off of you.
Not to mention that if you could create your own full-fledged website, that you would NOT need to invest into paid traffic at all. You could reply on free traffic from Google, Bing and Yahoo, as well as from Social media like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter.
With Devon, you have NO choice but to invest in paid traffic medthods.
My Final Opinion – Is Web Copy Cat A Scam?
To be honest with you, I don’t think that Web Copy Cat is a scam. On the contrary, if you really understand in-depth of how the system works, specially after reading this review, and you still want to go for it because EVERYTHING is done for you and you don’t mind spending the money for that ease, then I would say go for it!
But if you’re like me, then you already know what I don’t like about the system; I would rather have a website of my own instead of RENTING one, I would rather learn how to do things myself and keep the costs low, I would rather have FULL control of my online business and customize it the way that I want to.
In short, I want to be the BOSS of my own online business. As I mentioned, without having your own website and the power to customize it the way that you want to, i just don’t think that it is going to be a viable long-term solution for your own financial freedom.

Hey, I look forward to reading your reviews, I only wish I had known about scam reviews before I was parted from my money. But your review was nicely done. You highlighted the good and the bad, leaving the reader to make a sound decision for himself. Nice write up.
Thanks a ton, Lanetta. Welcome back… 🙂
As a reviewer of these products, I can only voice out my opinions based on my experiences and based on what the programs contain. Some are legit, some others are scams and some are low-quality. It is not up to me to make the decision for my readers, it’s all up to them. They would know, based on the information that I can provide them, about what’s good and what’s bad for themselves.
Sometimes, it just depends on what an individual is looking for online. It will not be the same for everyone. This program could work for some people out there and people who actually find a degree of success with it, that will make them happy. 🙂 It’s just my job to put the information here and up to my reader to make the ultimate decision.
Hi Reyhana – Thank you for being transparent and shedding true light on “Is Web Copy Cat a Scam”. I loved the fact you gave the analogy of Owning Property vs. Renting. Coming to WA I can say I’m truly learning a lot and my eyes are being opened more and more about Online Businesses – I enjoyed your post.
Glad you enjoyed my post, Teasha. Even after having been with Wealthy Affiliate for quite some time, I learn new things every day.. 🙂 Glad that you discovered the best training platform on the planet and I wish you great success.
Hi Reyhana, I’m glad you wrote this review so I can learn what webcopycat is all about.
I think it is a good idea what Devon is trying to sell here but in reality, I think it will cost a lot of money to start making sales with these websites.
He sais, to get the system up only costs about $36 for labor, I’m building on my own website my self and think, 3 hours is not even enough to write one real article.
I wonder what these websites look like. They can’t have any content posts, only sales, landing pages. You said there is no mentioning of organic traffic, so what is the point of having a website?
I think it’s cheaper to just run an add on Facebook or Google ads than do it the way Devon suggests.
Paid traffic, his price is very expensive. He earns from every step he does for these websites. You say a single visit costs about $1, not guaranteed that the visitor is buying.
1000 visitors per month, equals about 1060 bucks at least and if you have a conversion rate of maybe 10% of what product? If the product pays you $10 that would make $1000.
I would need to know what Devon is selling on my page and how much the commission would be.
My question is, why doesn’t Devon just run all these websites for himself and get stinky rich if it was that easy. Why does he want to share the website profits with customers?
I think it is because it is a scam anyway, he get’s all the affiliate commissions from your purchases and is not responsible for how much or if you make any money at all.
Hi Stefan and welcome back.
Yes, I also think it’s a good idea what Devon is offering and like I mentioned, I think it’s great for people who have the money to invest into having somebody else do all the hard work.
But I do think that it is overpriced and I see how cunning Devon is, trying to make money off of you every step of the way. And you’re right, 3 hours is definitely not a lot of time dedicated to a website to make it successful. It takes much more effort and certainly time. What I think is that Devon will build a generic landing page and use your money on ads to send people to the landing page, promoting Web Copy Cat.
That’s how if somebody signs up to Web Copy Cat through this website, you’re going to be making 50% and Devon is going to keep the remaining 50%.
And your analogy of spending on ads in conjunction to how much money can be made is totally reasonable; the testimonials talk about how they were able to make money within a few weeks, but don’t talk about how much they invested into ads, which is an important factor. We need to discuss how much was made in PROFITS, rather than how much money was made in commissions.
The objective of this program is pretty easy to figure out though; Devon needs YOUR money to invest in ads so that he can make the 50% off of every single sale your website gets, while also making money from you. He is definitely cunning!
But that’s what you get when you want something that is done for you; you pay the price for all the knowledge and labour, making the owner double and triple times richer than the program makes you. That’s why I encourage anybody looking to making money online, to try out Wealthy Affiliate, because it is a place where YOU call the shots and are in TOTAL CONTROL of your earnings and your online business.
Wow that’s a very amazing review. I have to admit right now having someone else do the work for me sounds great. Sadly in the end I’d rob myself of the satisfaction that I achieved success with my own work. You’re right, there’s nothing like being your own boss.
Thanks for reading, Alina, and I’m glad you like the review.
When I first started looking for ways to make money online, I seriously would have jumped at this opportunity in a heart beat, but not anymore. 🙂 Thanks to Wealthy Affiliate, I now know how the online world works and what it takes to be successful. From what I have seen, it’s best to build a business from scratch and see it grow, because you will be more prone to achieving success that way and keeping it.
I had heard of this guy before and wondered but never looked into it. Thanks for the good info and I also think that those who “Do it their way” are always the most successful!
Seems that WA is an excellent choice!

Hello Captdennis.
You would probably have heard about him because he is a well-known affiliate marketer. And yes, those who do it themselves are much more prone to finding success and keeping it, than those who want the easy way out.
Wealthy Affiliate really is, in my opinion, the BEST place to learn it all and to find success. You won’t find success overnight, but you will surely become financially free given enough effort and time.
Hi
I really like this article because I love the journey your took me on. is it or isn’t it.
I agree that having your own website gives you more control. I like to know what is going on and how it works so doing it myself is a better option for me.
But you got to give it to him. He is trying.
Hello Jennifer.
It’s definitely the same for me. I like to know what’s going on and have more control over my website. Although I do like some things to be automated, I don’t like to be in the dark and want to know at least WHAT is going on and HOW they work. But with Devon’s methods, you are left in the dark, thus not making it very attractive to me.
But yes, if there’s anybody who wants a done-for-you system where they can just sit back and relax and pay somebody ELSE the big bucks to do the dirty work, then Web Copy Cat is not a bad option. It’s too much money down the drain is you ask me, though.
Nice review Reyhana, keep up the good work!
Jeff
Thanks, Jeff. Appreciate your feedback.. 🙂 Glad to know you like my review.
Hello Reyhana;
I am a part of WA already, this is the best way to be your own boss. Done – for – you systems are not for me either. You have a couple of misspelled words, but letting everyone know about Devon’s way of doing business is great. It will cost you for every little thing you do. Wishing you all the best.
Bill
Thanks for pointing out my misspelled words Billy. I will proof-read it to make sure my review can be read at optimal ease.. 🙂
That’s what I love about Wealthy Affiliate; you truly learn how to become your own boss and learn EVERYTHING there is to know about making money online. Unlike Web Copy Cat, that is okay in my opinion, but will cost a lot of money. SO if you don’t have the money to invest into paid ads, I would recommend you stay away from it.
