Refunds

Due to the extensive time and effort that goes into the Five Minute Social Media memberships, there is no blanket refund policy after your access to a membership or course begins (your anniversary date).

For the The Five Minute Social Method Course Experience and 29 Days To Endless Free Leads Course Experience, you are backed by the “Love 3 Or It’s Free Guarantee.” Sign up and go through the first 3 modules (Modules #0, #1 and #2 for The Five Minute Social Method, or Modules #1, #2 and #3 for 29 Days To Endless Free Leads) with me, and if you don’t love it, send a message to support@fiveminutesocialmedia.com and we’ll issue a full refund. The guarantee ends when the 4th module is unlocked for participants (approximately 2 weeks after your sign up date).

In the Reach and Discovery Accelerator program, you are backed by the “You’ll Reach Strangers For Free Guarantee.” If you use our methods and feedback to create and publish 4 short form videos and do not see an increase in your reach during the previous comparable period, we will send you a refund equivalent to what was mentioned as part of the offer you purchased. 

Scripts & videos must be shared with Five Minute Social Media and Jerry Potter for feedback during the program by posting in the private Facebook Group provided for the program. Videos must be published within 2 weeks of concluding the 5-week program. All videos must be published on the same platform, and must be either TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels or Instagram Reels. If Reach is not available on the chosen platform, the Views metric will be used instead. The 2 periods being compared must be equal in length and one after another. The quantity of posts must be the same for both periods, or higher during the period with videos created during the program.  All reach and/or views must be organic – paying for ads during the periods being measured is not allowed.. Upon request, proof will have to be shown to our team by sharing your screen on a live Zoom call. Screenshots are not an acceptable form of proof.

If you pay by credit card, and seek a refund of funds, your refund will be reduced by any applicable credit card charges that are assessed against us.  Credit card charges are estimated and will be charged based on what we are charged by the Credit Card Processor.

We do not tolerate or accept any type of chargeback from your credit card company.
