Reverse Funnel System Review: Scam Or Not?

July 3, 2008

If you’ve looked to the Google search engines gods to show you the perfect online business, I’m betting you came across the Reverse Funnel System more than a few times. You’ve seen it before, the shirtless “beach bum” with a lap top sitting between his legs, lounging in a chair outside. It looks pretty cool, but the heart of the matter is whether or not their claims are legitimate. I’m sure you were excited to read about making “$5,000-$10,000 per week” and “6 and 7 figure returns″, but the thing that brought it all to a screeching halt was the unusually high start up cost. Am I right? Before you stress over it anymore, I’d like to divert your attention to another program that costs less than half as much, but can be equally as profitable. But first, let’s break down the Reverse Funnel System and put it under the microscope.

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.

The term “there′s more than one way to skin a cat” couldn’t hold more true when it comes to website advertisement. Paid advertisement is far from the only way to get visitors to your page, but it is obvious that the Reverse Funnel System favors this type. What about the free methods? These would obviously be preferable to those who don’t have as much to spend, but I seem to doubt that the Reverse Funnel System pays any attention to 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 trying to say? I’m trying to say that knowing how to properly market online allows an individual to make money regardless of what product they′re selling. The skill of knowing how to leverage the internet is priceless. Go to Google and type in “home based business″ then close your eyes and click a random business. The experienced marketer could turn a profit from that business. So instead of asking yourself if a certain opportunity will make you profits, instead ask if it will TEACH you to make profits. Big difference.

The only affiliate program that recognizes the importance of teaching its members how to properly market online is Derrick Harper’s Wealth Funnel System. Like its competitors, it offers the opportunity to sell products that the market demands but more importantly it provides members an abundance of lessons and materials on internet marketing. This allows the beginner to shed his rookie status in no time at all. Furthermore, it also gives access to pre written ads that have shown to be highly effective, just like the rest. The difference is that Wealth Funnel System doesn’t encourage blind advertisement and ask its members to just assume that every ad will yield profits. The ads are a tool among many, but not the focus. The focus is in teaching a skill set, which is more valuable than any number of pre written “effective″ ads.

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
