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.

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.

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 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 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
