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.

First of all, let’s break down Ty Coughlin’s Reverse Funnel System. You MUST pay $50 for an “application” to get details on the system. You THEN realize that the source of all this supposed revenue stems from another opportunity known as Global Resorts Network. The information that follows is quite similar to what you originally read before forking over $50, which is colorful vocabulary that beautifully paints a “you’re going to be rich” picture; and you’re left with the decision of whether or not $5,000+ is worth this opportunity. If you didn’t have a dispensable $5k in your pocket, I’m sure you went looking for answers and consequently stumbled across this article.

One thing to immediately evaluate is the high costs of joining. The membership fee is $3,000 and along with that it is recommended that you also have around $2,000 to $5,000 in startup advertisement costs. PLUS, there is also a recurring monthly fee of $300. That’s a bit to handle for the average person in America. If anyone does have that kind of money to risk on business ventures, they typically look at these types of opportunities as a means of INCREASING their riches, not MAKE them. So what does this mean? It means that the Reverse Funnel System is tailored for those who HAVE money. Consequently, the little guy is left out and anyone else who doesn’t have as much to invest has to look 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.

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 you can’t afford the Reverse Funnel System? Does that mean that other less expensive opportunities don’t size up to RFS? Some would think so; but the cost of a program doesn’t necessarily justify how much success you’ll have with it.

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. 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
