If you're in the process of the seeking a home based business to either leave your job or simply make more money, I'm willing to bet that you have become quite familiar with Ty Coughlin's Reverse Funnel System. It seems to be everywhere. If that name doesn't ring a bell, perhaps you're more familiar with the capture page with the shirtless, long haired beach bum lounging in a chair with a laptop. It's really picked up some steam over the past year or so and they've made some very bold claims as to how much money members are making. I'm sure you asked yourself if "$5,000-$10,000 per week" and "6 and 7 figure returns" were really possible. Well, it's not really a question of whether or not it is possible but if it is ORDINARY for most members. I'd like to shed some light on these claims and propose an alternative choice that may change your mind about the Reverse Funnel System.
Let's break things down piece by piece. The first step is filling out an "application", which costs $50. Once that is done, all of the details are THEN revealed to you. At that point, you learn that the Reverse Funnel System teaches its members how to make money with another company called Global Resorts Network. It's a travel membership club that offers discounted stays at high end resorts. The $3,000 is actually a membership fee that goes towards signing up with Global Resorts Network. At that point, you're left to decide whether the Reverse Funnel System is the best system to help you earn commissions with Global Resorts Network.
Now, the first thing you want to evaluate is the cost of joining the Reverse Funnel System. The membership fee is $3,000 and they suggest that you ALSO have anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 in startup advertisement costs. Plus, there is an additional monthly fee of $300. For most people, that can easily break the bank. Anybody who has that type of money to throw around generally looks at these type of opportunities to add to their riches, not make them. So what does this tell us? It means that the Reverse Funnel System markets to those who have money. As a result, those who don't have as much to invest have to go elsewhere.
Furthermore, what can we learn from knowing the suggested advertisement budget? We can determine that the Reverse Funnel System relies heavily on paid advertisement. So those who have more money to invest have a higher probability of success. Sounds like an unfair advantage to me.
There are countless methods for driving traffic to any given website. With most programs like the Reverse Funnel System, that's your only job. You are given a high conversion website that turns visitors into buyers, and all you have to do is get visitors. With the Reverse Funnel System, it's clear that they favor paid advertisement as their means of acquiring those visitors. How about the countless types of free advertisement? I highly doubt that the Reverse Funnel System places a focus on them.
Also, what if the Reverse Funnel System is outside of your spending limits? Does that mean that the cheaper opportunities aren't as valuable? Not necessarily. Some people tend to adopt this thought process but the cost of an opportunity isn't always a determinant of how effective or profitable it is.
This brings me to my next subject. Provided you had all of the skills and training to be profitable with any business, could you do it? Theoretically, yes. You always find successful individuals with any company. This is usually because they know what they're doing, and they have experience and the knowledge. If you're new to internet marketing, unfortunately this isn't you. But it doesn't have to be that way. If you know how control internet traffic and direct it to a website of your choice, the options are truly limitless.
What am I getting at? If you know how to properly market online and you can find people looking to buy what you have, you can literally sell anything. It's an invaluable skill. Choose any search engine, type in "home based business" and have your pick of the litter; the experienced marketer can turn a profit from that program. So instead of asking "will this opportunity make me money?", ask "will this opportunity TEACH me to make money." A small difference in wording completely changes the question.
The Wealth Funnel system is the only program I've seen that focuses on educating its members. Like its competitors, it allow individuals to market a product that people want; but its structured to turn any novice internet marketer into a professional one as quickly as possible. It provides all of the necessary materials to bring rookies up to speed, and then gives them a product to practice their newfound skills on. Furthermore, it gives access to pre written ads that have shown to turn profits; but the ads are included as an option among many. It isn't the ads that do the selling, it's the internet marketer; and the Wealth Funnel System knows how to turn you into one.
This concludes my article on the Reverse Funnel System. I hope it'll be of assistance in your evaluation of Ty Coughlin's opportunity. Whether you decide on the Reverse Funnel System or any other program, understand that your success isn't dependent on one key skill but many. Try to find the program that will teach you ALL of those skills.
Wishing you the best, Joe Marquez
