Famous Pakistani vloggers Rajab Butt, Ducky Bhai (Saad ur Rehman), and Nadeem Naniwala have launched a new learning platform called ‘Join Elite Group’, offering paid courses in areas like TikTok live streaming, business startups, cryptocurrency investments, YouTube vlogging, and e-commerce management.
Despite the ambitious nature of the platform, it has faced heavy criticism and skepticism from many, who question its authenticity and objectives.
‘Join Elite Group’ offers various paid courses aimed at professionals, entrepreneurs, and creative individuals, covering topics such as:
- TikTok Live Streaming: Strategies to monetize live streams.
- Business Startups: Tips for launching and managing successful businesses.
- Cryptocurrency Investments: Guidance on navigating the crypto market.
- YouTube Growth: Methods to grow and sustain YouTube channels.
- E-commerce: Techniques for establishing and optimizing online stores.
However, the platform has faced significant technical issues since its launch, including high traffic problems, error messages, and difficulties in signing up, raising doubts about its reliability and credibility.
Journalist Sheraz Butt, with 496K Instagram followers, criticized the initiative in a viral video, questioning the integrity of the creators. He remarked, “These are the same creators who sold their private lives like a reality show. Now they claim to teach the youth how to earn money?” He also mocked their course offerings, particularly the YouTube course, calling it “laughable.”
Sheraz further argued that these influencers built their fame by showcasing personal details, and now they are monetizing their audience by selling knowledge that is easily accessible for free online.
Additionally, Ducky Bhai’s past remarks resurfaced, where he admitted in a podcast, “I am not a teacher to provide knowledge.” Despite this, he later stated, “You have supported us for years; now it’s our turn to give back and help you stand on your feet.”
Other YouTubers, including Talha Reviews, have labeled the project a “scam,” while Maaz Safdar and Ali Butt have advised fans to avoid the platform, highlighting that free resources for learning about YouTube and online earnings are widely available.
Many fans and critics argue that there is no need to pay for these courses, as countless YouTubers and social media influencers offer free seminars, tips, and tutorials on growing online audiences. Additionally, many Pakistani creators provide similar content online, covering everything from algorithms to financial benefits at no cost.
