If you’re desperately searching through the pages of Google to find that perfect home business, I have no doubt in my mind that you have seen multiple pages that display the shirtless surfer looking guy with a laptop. As you continued to read on, you heard boasts of “$5,000-$10,000 per week” and “6 and 7 figure returns” and you got really excited, am I right? Chances are you were completely sold on the concept, but the big factor in your indecision was the cost. Well, before you give the Reverse Funnel System anymore thought, I’d like to break it down a bit more simply and bring some things to your attention that you may have ignored or simply didn’t notice. Furthermore, I’d like to make mention to an equally comparable alternative, and perhaps show you another option to consider.

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, one thing to immediately consider in your evaluation of the Reverse Funnel System is the COST. It costs $3,000 to join, around $2,000 to $5,000 in startup advertisement costs, and then a $300 monthly recurring fee. That rings up for a total of $5,000-$8,000 up front, then $300 a month..That’s a LOT! Especially for a middle income class individual. The only person who can look at those figures and say “Let’s do this now!” are people who already have money to invest and most likely look at these types of opportunities to further INCREASE their riches, not MAKE them. So what does this mean? It means that if you join, a large majority of the people you are marketing to are people WITH money. The little guy is pretty much left out of the picture, and that’s a lot of potential prospects thrown out of the window.

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 tons of ways to drive traffic to a website, which in essence is the name of the game with most programs like this. You are given a page that converts visitors into buyers, which leaves you one job: send visitors to your page. If you join the Reverse Funnel System, it’s obvious that the preferred method of acquiring these visitors is advertisement. What about the countless types of free traffic? I doubt that the Reverse Funnel System devotes much time to these.

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 topic. Given the all the necessary tools, training, and information do you think it’d be possible to succeed with any online business; simply because you know what you’re doing? If you’ve never done internet marketing before I’ll go ahead and answer that for you…NO. Not yet at least. I hope you don’t take offense to that, but it’s true. Whether a program is good or bad, for some reason there’s always someone making money; and it is typically due to their experience and knowledge. If you can drive massive amounts of traffic to any website that sells a product, people are going to buy. As long as the buyer can convince themselves that the item is worth the investment, the transaction is over. This is the case with any product, whether a piece of gum or an expensive car.

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 only affiliate program that I have seen with a vested interest in teaching its members how to properly market online is Derrick Harper’s Wealth Funnel System. Similar to other programs available today, it allows its member’s to provide a product that people want. But more importantly, it not only provides access to high yielding ads but it properly educates people how to market online, PERIOD. It doesn’t just teach blind advertisement, like other competitors. This ensures your success with not only the Wealth Funnel System, but any other online business you encounter. The fortune is in the skill set.

This concludes my article on the Reverse Funnel System. I hope it’ll be of assistance in your evaluation of Ty Coughlin’s opportunity. No matter what business you decide to pursue, make sure that your success is dependent on your own efforts and not just the promises of the company.

Wishing you the best, Joe Marquez
