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.

First, let's pick apart the process and examine each piece. Everyone starts out by filling out an "application" which costs $50. Once that is finished, you are provided with all of the details on the system. You then learn that the Reverse Funnel System actually promotes another company known as Global Resorts Network. It's a travel membership club that offers discounted stays at high end resorts, and the $3,000 start up cost is ACTUALLY a fee for signing up with Global Resorts Network. So basically, you have to put your confidence in the Reverse Funnel System and decide if they are the best program to help you earn profits 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 does the suggested advertisement budget tell us? It says that advertisement determines the amount of profit; which means that people who join the Reverse Funnel System and have more to invest, make more money; assuming that the system works as it says it does.

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 have all the skills necessary to market a product online and can find people looking to buy exactly what you're selling, you can be profitable with any affiliate program out there. Go and Google "home based business" and pick a random program. The experienced internet marketer can make money with it, which means you should switch your thinking. Don't ask "Will this opportunity make me money?", but instead ask "Will this opportunity teach me to make money?" There's a big difference between those two questions.

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. 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
