What Is Digital Altitude? – An Informative Review
Hello and welcome! If you have landed here on this page today, you are probably doing your due diligence and research into the company called Digital Altitude.
Here is an update. After an FTC investigation, it appears that Digital Altitude is a scam after all. So if you are still interested in affiliate marketing, then check out my #1 recommended platform to learn from and become successful in the online world. Just follow this link to my Wealthy Affiliate Review.
I joined this company a while back but have since left them as I could not afford their high price tag.
A small disclaimer, the prices shown may be different at the time of this reading.
So this will be my review of them. Let’s begin, shall we?
So What Is Digital Altitude?
This program was founded by Michael Force, a former US Marine, who built his first multi-million dollar business by age 27. He went on to build Digital Altitude and it is still running as of today.
This is a tiered based company (like a pyramid), that requires buy-ins for each level. They teach you how to market and sell their business product. You have to buy their product, go through the course and then sell the product and you will receive a commission for the sales.
What Does Digital Altitude Offer?
They offer you your introductory package followed by 5 main products that you will need to purchase and learn and then sell. Once you have gone through the course for each package, then you will market it via your website. The commissions are really high and you have the potential to make some really good money.
The Packages Offered
There is a $17 per month fee to be an affiliate with Digital Altitude. On top of that, there are 3 levels of membership within Digital altitude. They dictate how much commission you will make per sale. They have a monthly fee associated with them. They include the following;
- Walker – $37 per month – 1 tier payout – Commission – 40%
- Hiker – $67 per month – 2 tier payout – Commission – 50%
- Climber – $127 per month – 3 tier payout – Commission – 60%
They sign you up for a 14-day trial, for $1, where you get to watch some sales videos and pep talk. No training or information is supplied during this time. But you do get your coach and they start immediately to push you for money.
Aspire
This package teaches you how to set up your online business and offers training videos, personal coach, sale funnels, a bunch of tools and resources, planning, entity forming, traffic solutions, sales automation, live events, a community, and networking to name a few.
Base – Cost $597 one-time fee
Base is the first of the business Mastery Course. It will teach you how to set up the foundation for your business, banking and accounting, product branding, how to launch your business over the next three months, how to grow your business effectively and how to generating traffic.
You will learn social media campaigning, analytics, and entrepreneurship, along with automated systems, improvements to your business, and creative content. Base is made up of a series of modules.
Rise – Cost $1997 one-time fee
This Mastery Course teaches how to have the correct mindset for your business and how to understand the buyer’s viewpoint. It will also teach you how to write content to capture your reader’s attention and to show you how to partner up with investors and how to leverage joint ventures.
You will learn about the requirements to work in the information age and how to attract the right customer, how to market to your customer, and how to identify your customers who are ready to buy. It will teach you about copywriting, branding, tiered marketing, creating messages, create ads, and how to partner with others. Rise is made up of a series of modules.
Ascend – Cost $9997 one-time fee
Ascend is an all inclusive, 3 day retreat for 2. The Ascend package starts out with teaching you all about traffic and introduces 3 new sales funnels. You will learn about personal branding, how to create and use video, how to leverage analytics, more about creative content, and outsourcing.
Peak – Cost $16 997 one-time fee
Peak is an all inclusive, 5 day retreat for 2. You will learn how to scale your business, create joint ventures, the hiring of personnel, accounting, legal requirements, taxes, raise capital, business automation, and cash flow.
Apex – Cost $27 997 one-time fee
Apex is an all inclusive, 7 day retreat for 2. You will learn about creating multiple streams of income, retirement planning, asset management and other investment opportunities. You will get to learn from some of the leaders in the industry the art of wealth management.
Here is how it works, for example, let’s assume you join and can only afford the “Climber” Level at $127 per month plus the $17 Affiliate fee per month and you have purchased the “Base” package. You refer a new member, who then decides to buy into the “Ascend” level at $9997. Since you not a member at that level, YOU WILL NOT receive the commission for your referral.
So there you have it in a nutshell. Is Digital Altitude legit or a scam? I cannot say. I left them as I could not afford their price tag, it was way out of my reach. Do they deliver on what they say they offer? Again I cannot say as I was only in for a little over a month and they wanted me to upgrade to the next level to continue with the first level.
I did get a 1-on-1 coach and he was very helpful for the time that I had him, but I did not receive any training either. He did however really try hard to keep on upselling me all the time.
Nor was I introduced into any of the information that you are supposed to get with the Aspire package for signing up. I guess I was not in long enough maybe.
For me though, I needed a platform that would teach me how to start an online business and all about traffic, social media marketing, email list building, affiliate marketing, and much more, without all the frills like retreats for two and stuff. I wanted the “meat” of the matter so to speak.
If you are like me and looking for a platform to launch your online business from, get all the needed training, have support 24/7, a community of like-minded people, hosting services, unlimited SSL security, live webinar sessions, classrooms, and much much more, for a low cost, and I mean really low then check out my review of Wealthy Affiliate here.
They are an amazing program and have been a huge help to me and my online business experience. I highly recommend them.

They are really too expensive!
I signed up with them about 2 years back. I did the free training with 6 free courses, I was pumped and motivated but then was told to upgrade. I didn’t have a problem upgrading but at the time it was $2000 to gain access to 6 more courses and after that I would need to upgrade again to access another 6 course. So I did not invest anything in them I just quit.
They are unreasonable, most people wanting to start an online business don’t have that amount of money to spend. Don’t know if the company is a scam but I think they are “gold diggers”, don’t really care much for the average people.

Hi Sheree
Yes, they are WAY to expensive for what they teach. I don’t think they are a scam but they are way out of my price range. WA teaches you all of the same techniques and strategies as they do for a LOT less. But if all you are selling are their products, then to make the kind of money that they say u can, they have to charge that much for each product or it would not be possible. That was the other thing I did not like is that u can only sell their products and every member is trying to sell the same products which means u are in direct competition with all the other members. Tough way to start a business really I think. Thanks for stopping by.

They are a scam. I was with Digital Altitude for two weeks on a free trial – did not pay them a single penny. And happy I did not!

I was a starter member of Digital Altitude at the climber level, but I canceled my membership because not only were the training products extortionate, but Michal Force used a manipulation strategy for enticing you to spend a fortune just for the sake of earning a fortune in return.
This is why I hate the MLM industry so much. The only reason why Digital Altitude sells “high-ticket” products is because it keeps Force’s program afloat.
His training products may have fancy mountainous names, but at the end of the day he’s ripping off EVERYBODY who joins his program.
The final problem I had with Aspire Altitude is that I was unable to claim a refund because I was chasing my tail with no thanks to my coach and also ZERO support from the help team (despite emailing them twice).
Digital Altitude is a shady program, and Micheal Force will never lay his hands on a single penny of mine again!

Hi Neil
Thanks for stopping by. Yes I agree that the methods that were explained to me were a little shady for my tastes and the price is out of this world. LIke I mentioned I had paid money for the first course and never received anything in return besides my coach yelling me that I had to spend more money for training. I was well where is the training that I had already paid for and was told that it was just a start up fee and there was no training. Very shady business and I will not recommend them. I am glad to see that u got out without spending to much money before realizing that is was shady. I to never received any help from the supposed “Help Team”. Not a word was replied to me.
Thanks for reading my article and u have a great day sir.
Regards
Carl
