Woifranchise Arvostelua 

I took on the franchise with help from my sister to help cover household bills. What began as a part-time venture quickly grew into a full-time opportunity, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed both the work-from-home lifestyle and the income potential.
I chose the Fast Track package, which saved me money and helped me get started quickly. The return on investment is clear and achievable- you just need to put in the effort. I focused on telesales, email marketing, and offered discounts to local businesses, along with free event listings and free spots for charities. These approaches were very well received and helped me build strong local connections.
The support team and detailed training emails are excellent and kept me on track throughout. Even if you think you already know what to do, there’s a lot to learn from the training materials provided. I have opted also for zoom training, which is very helpful and full with these a-ha moments.
The company has been franchising for over seven years and clearly knows what it’s doing. There are plenty of satisfied franchisees (and of course, as with anything, a few who like to complain). Overall, it’s a solid and rewarding business model for anyone looking to be part of the growing online advertising market.

I unfortunately fell for this so called Franchise. After months of no income from this, I started to ask questions! Show me one of your other franchises websites that are doing well? No reply.
Please check for yourself guys, search for ANY WHATS ON IN website, you will see the few tradesman entries, a few random businesses, which are put on by these scammers.
Do you notice all the 5 star reviews, never mention their WOI website? Show us how well it is performing! No, because it isn't.

They have no business model, no proof to show that anyone has made money from it.
All there advice is, make plenty calls. Keep phoning businesses!! (Cold calling) and send emails. That is it. That is their businesses model, and still no proof of anyone making a success of it.
Fortunately I reported these scammers and managed to get all my money back. I bet Steve had to cut back on a few of his holidays, and Sue in collections cried a little.
Avoid these people.

I was made redundant 7 months ago and came across this franchise through an online platform. At 58, I'm not particularly tech-savvy and was initially concerned, but I was reassured that this wouldn’t be an issue — and it truly hasn’t been. The onboarding and training process was straightforward, clear, and easy to follow, which made getting started stress-free. My daughter is now helping with some email marketing to boost sales, which has been a great addition. The support and advice I’ve received and continue to receive has been excellent. I really have no complaints and would happily recommend this franchise to anyone looking for a home-based business opportunity.

It's been a really great (and profitable) experience so far. The learning curve was pretty steep at first,
but I've had awesome support along the way. Colin, Jacquie, and the whole support team have been
super helpful and patient with all my questions. Honestly, there's nothing like getting a "yes" from
an advertiser and seeing the money hit your account just a few hours later -such a good feeling!
What really stood out to me was how affordable it was to get started. For such a low entry cost,
you're basically handed a business that's ready to go from day one. Everything's set up for you-you
just have to jump in and run with it.

Avoid this franchise at all costs.

I have a disability and wanted something I could do from home.

In my experience, it was nothing like the “dream business opportunity” they sell you. I lost money, time, and energy, and was left feeling completely misled.
What you actually get is an outdated website, worthless training modules, and “support” that vanishes once they have your money. My site had almost zero engagement, an extremely high bounce rate and potential clients didn’t trust it. Every attempt I made to get help with technical issues was ignored or brushed off.
The so-called training was a joke – excuses after the first session (“no wifi,” “illness,” etc.) and nothing useful delivered. The sales manager’s replies were curt and dismissive, while the compliance woman sent aggressive messages about payments being “late,” even when they were due that very day. She never supplied the receipts I asked for and ignored any questions “I” asked. She shared the same phone number as the useless sales manager, red flag! At times, I felt like I was dealing with a one-person show wearing many masks – a farcical Wizard of Oz performance – rather than a legitimate franchise team. It was unprofessional and downright unpleasant to deal with.
The much-touted “Global Franchise Award” is irrelevant to their business as it falls under a children's category, not appropriate at all ** Update** - they have removed the award since my review but I have proof. The positive reviews online raised serious red flags – many come from accounts with only one review, and the language looks suspiciously similar. For every bad review, five glowing ones suddenly appear. Readers should look closely and draw their own conclusions.
The reality is a lonely, demoralising experience where most people, I suspect, simply give up - £1000's lighter. In my opinion, this franchise isn’t designed to help people succeed – it thrives on upselling pointless ideas and recycling the same underperforming websites to unsuspecting newcomers, all while extracting more money from existing franchisees and keeping them trapped in a drawn-out sales process. Based on my experience, I strongly advise you to stay well clear.

I can't say enough good things about this franchise! From the very beginning, the entire process has been seamless, professional, and incredibly rewarding. The support team is truly world-class—always available, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my success.
What sets this franchise apart is the quality of the training, the strength of the brand, and the ongoing support. Everything was clearly laid out, easy to follow, and designed to help me hit the ground running. I felt confident every step of the way, knowing I had access to proven systems and a community that wants to see everyone succeed.
In just a short time, I’ve seen real growth in my business and feel excited for the future. The flexibility and scalability of the model are perfect for today’s digital world, and I’m proud to be part of such an innovative and forward-thinking franchise.
If you’re considering joining—do it. You’ll be joining a team that truly cares, and a business model built for long-term success. Highly recommend!

I took a franchise 4 months ago. Started with 1 website, followed the training materials and in month 2 my investment was paid off and I am very pleased with the training and support on all levels.

Trust me, it's a scam. You pay for the franchise, and the monthly management fees only to receive emails and emails of sales information. No one talks to you or guides you through the process of set up, no one follows up to check how the business is going but you have to ensure you have enough in the account to pay for your next month of management fees. If you are reading this latest review please save your pennies for something else. I have been with them for almost a year, I first took on a master franchise employed sales staff until I got to a point where I exhausted with making calls and not getting any business from the tradesmen as they make it sound. I was given an option to take on one website, so I thought I could manage that one better, only to realise I was in the same cycle of making calls, no business, recieving more sales emails asking me to do this that and the other, who ever is behind this is a witch, they know it doesn't work but they keep hammering you with more information to make it look professional and keep you trapped into thinking and believing that you are not doing enough. Until you come to a point where you are ready to give up, then they corn you to sell/rent it out, they get you someone ( who I believe is one of them scammers) he plays you around while they take your money, they make you believe they are going to buy or rent from you, and as you start to closethe deal, they dissappear or give a far fetched reason and never to be traced again, bearing in mind you have already paid the agreement fees, the management fees and all that. And that woman Sue from compliance who is always begging for payments but never wants to respond to any questions, (she answers a question by asking you a question so she doesn't get committed to anything). This time I caught them red handed, because they have lied to me twice, I have confronted Steve who is always away somewhere abroad, and all he is are now promising is new a sales team again to trap me in to paying more fees and not having the business, I am not falling for it, hence this honest review, I have had enough, I want to save someone else from falling in the trap, Everything happens for a reason, I can't just waste time to write such a long review for nothing. They have played their game well and they know what they are doing. Please don't play along. SAVE YOURSELF THE DRAMA. It's a cycle of creative scammers, witches and wicked people. Research and read reviews before committing to them.

The old saying "just like it says on the tin" is correct, we needed a low cost home based business and spent a long time months looking for an opportunity that suited. A friend of a friend recommended this to us. Been a great journey to date, be prepared to listen and be patient, it takes time to build. They supply everything needed to be successful. Very happy with our choice

After looking over many franchise opportunities we decided to take on our own Whats on in postcode area and have since taken on a 2nd area for our son to run. The application is working well for us. We have followed the system and used the trainings to bring on our own sales person. We are more than happy with support. The ROI is very good.
The right choice at the right time in our lives as we wanted a homebased
business that was flexible and easy to work.

I worked within the tech sector for 2 years and needed to exit the rat race. I found the Whats on in opportunity from a magazine. Did the research and took the plunge. Enjoying the challenge and seeing great results from my efforts.
Expanding my state bit by bit. If you are seeking a business that has a solid system then this is for you.

My friend and myself signed up for a single franchise to boost our salary.
We work it as team and have followed the system to the letter. We make full use of the trainings and support. The entry level was very low.
If you want an excellent extra or even full time income then woi I can deliver.

A well worth franchise investment.
This franchise is offering you the ability to work online, set your own hours of work using the online tools available within dedicated training Members area. I started with a single franchise 3 years ago and now I have 3 website areas within my original franchise area. Happy to share my opinion, as I have seen the growth in this company. They are now covering over 200 cities and areas worldwide. I have a sales girl, who is doing email marketing and phone calls to bring advertisers to the websites. She is doing 7-8 hours a week. I do email marketing as well using some email templates which works very well. I have had paid corporate ads as well. You need to treat this franchise as a business. Working from home online especially for your own business is a process of learning. It offers flexibility and autonomy, but also requires self-discipline. You are responsible for your own work. Your profit depends on your own efforts. This franchise is offering you all you need to be successful. You have training Members area, that you can access online; you have online support team available at any time, at any days - 24/7; you have a sales training person who you can phone and train you in art of sales; you have regular training emails. All you need to do is follow the training materials, and do your job as an entrepreneur and enjoy the profit. The franchise is low cost, low start, no hidden charges. Don't fooled by the negative reviews. It works, if you work.

Happy with the franchise. I took this franchise on to supplement by salary, it has gone better than I imagined so much so I took on a 2nd area within 8 weeks of taking my first. You must be prepared to follow their proven system and trainings
Trainings, support, and back up is second to none.
Great investment

I was carrying out sales as a freelancer for few franchisees and I liked the concept, the websites, the support I have and I’ve decided to take up a franchise for myself. This is ideal for someone like me who wants to have an online business, work from home, no need for technical experience and you have a support team to help you and guide you through. And it is at an affordable price for anyone. With all the inflation and price increases they still hold their prices for a franchise the same as 7 years ago. I am very pleased with my website, with the technical support who can help me and is always there if I need help or advice. There are training modules that you can access online and also training sales emails that gives me that aha moment for some marketing tools.
How can anyone call this a scam? a franchise that gives you tools, ready to go website and you have support and training materials and team to guide you through if you need help. And is at a very affordable price with no hidden charges. What I’ve learned is those who complain and are calling this a SCAM are those who are doing nothing, expecting someone else to run their business and hide their laziness and anger for their failings and their only recourse is to leave bad reviews.
You have a great opportunity to run this franchise business at low cost, with no technical experience required. All you need to do is to follow the training material guide to be successful with this franchise.

I took on the franchise as means to generate an additional income.
I looked at many franchises but then settled on WhatsOnIn, with a 7 year track record and 24-7 online and zoom support this ticked all the boxes. With direct access to a dedicated franchise development manager its just case of following the training modules.
I have read few of the crazy spam reviews, from personal experience I ask myself how can a proven 7 year old company can be spam??
I am looking to expand soon with additional postcodes. If you are looking for a homebased business then join whatsonin a growing community around the world.
No complaints
PS WhatsOnIn Franchise has just been shorted listed for the 2025 Global Franchise Awards

I joined the franchise in January 2024 and paid in excess of £5,000 for a Master franchise. Soon after, I noticed that they were only interested in rushing people to pay the franchise fee and monthly maintenance fees. I have been trying to get my money back from them, but they want me to keep paying monthly maintenance fees, even when I'm not generating any income from the venture. As other reviews have noted, they kept enticing me with a so called China deal, a RAC deal and a pizza express deal, but saw none of the money for advertising. I gathered that this was just to keep on reassuring me to stay on.

In conclusion, I think this is a well crafted SCAMMING machinery. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THESE GUYS, UNLESS YOU'RE OK WIKK PARTING AWAY WITH YOUR HARD EARNED FUNDS!!!

I needed something to run online on the side and to be able to use my marketing skills - this franchise suite me very well. Low cost entry and showing great promise in the earning potential.

One has to question the 5 star reviews, too good to be true?
Epic titles, but reviewers only have one or two max reviews.
Suggests 5 star reviews are fake / false.
Tread carefully...

Very pleased with the franchise.
Since joining in December 2023 I have received so much support. From the early days with training and help with all marketing emails and coaching support I could possibly want to get my business going. You have all needed tools from the start to get your business going. And Yes, you need to put time and effort. Yes, you need to engage with this business to see the results. Yes, it is online and I can work it while on holiday only with my phone. Yes, I have the support I needed even during the weekends. And Yes, my investment was paid off within the first 8 weeks. Highly recommend it.
