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, 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 point. Given the right information, and the proper training, do you think you could become profitable with any program simply because you know how it ALL works? If you're new to internet marketing, I'll just answer that for you...NO. I hope that isn't a slap in the face to you, but it's true. Whether a program sucks or not, you can theoretically make money no matter what. It's just a numbers game, as is anything else. If you can get a million visitors to any given page that sells something, some people are going to buy. If a buyer can tell themselves that the product is worth its price tag, transaction over. That holds true if the product is a piece of gum, or a million dollar house.

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 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. Whatever business venture you take on from this point on, be sure that you have the resources to become successful with it. Don't just put blind faith into a companies promises. Learn to earn the success you want, dont't look to have it given to you a silver platter.

Wishing you the best, Joe Marquez
