If you’ve recently been reviewing EDC (easy daily cash) and have been trying to decide if their claims hold any truth, I would like to say a few things and maybe help you review their business opportunity to see if it’s something you should pursue.

Let’s start at the beginning. EDC is a direct sales company whose products consist of numerous eBooks and computer software. They claim that these products have a value of more than $100,000, and they serve as EDC’s “back bone”. As a business owner, most of your success has little to do with these products. You can’t really find a use for all of them, and most of the products are outdated and irrelevant to today’s market.

The reality is that most of the monies earned with EDC are from getting others to join the business. Your main job will simply be RESELLING THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. Almost nobody in EDC is making big money from selling the “hundreds of thousands of dollars” worth of software. Not that it isn’t possible, that’s just how things work. That’s the reason why EDC’s sales page does a GREAT job of painting a “you can be rich too” picture. There’s very little focus on promoting the products. Instead they promote the business and when you break it down, that’s what you will be doing as well.

The real money is in learning to market online, and truly knowing how to use the internet to your advantage. I’d like to switch gears for a moment and talk about a different opportunity that holds the same principles as EDC but focuses on EDUCATION, not hype. It’s called the wealth funnel system, and it offers the very same opportunity for a substantial income, but the actual “product” is MUCH more valuable. The wealth funnel system offers only 7 different streams of income, with the first being focused on teaching members how to PROPERLY market online. If you know how to use the internet like the professionals do, your success is guaranteed no matter what you’re selling. The fortune is in the skill set.

Instead of buying into the hype and picturing yourself in a lambo driving outside of your mansion, get serious for a second and think logically. If your plan is to be financially free, that means you’re gonna have to be successful for the next 30, 40, maybe 50 years. Is EDC gonna last that long? Is any online business gonna last that long? None of that matters if you know how to succeed online PERIOD. Think about it.

For more information on the Wealth Funnel System and Derrick Harper’s business opportunity, feel free to follow my links. I hope this article is of some use to you in your search for the right home based business.

Is The Reverse Funnel System A Scam? Read This Review

If you’re desperately searching through the pages of Google to find that perfect home business, I have no doubt in my mind that you have seen multiple pages that display the shirtless surfer looking guy with a laptop. As you continued to read on, you heard boasts of “$5,000-$10,000 per week” and “6 and 7 figure returns” and you got really excited, am I right? Chances are you were completely sold on the concept, but the big factor in your indecision was the cost. Well, before you give the Reverse Funnel System anymore thought, I’d like to break it down a bit more simply and bring some things to your attention that you may have ignored or simply didn’t notice. Furthermore, I’d like to make mention to an equally comparable alternative, and perhaps show you another option to consider.

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 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 countless methods for driving traffic to any given website. With most programs like the Reverse Funnel System, that’s your only job. You are given a high conversion website that turns visitors into buyers, and all you have to do is get visitors. With the Reverse Funnel System, it’s clear that they favor paid advertisement as their means of acquiring those visitors. How about the countless types of free advertisement? I highly doubt that the Reverse Funnel System places a focus on 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 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 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 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. 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.

And when you’re as experienced as Derrick Harper, carrying that type of confidence isn’t as difficult as it sounds.

For the purposes of this article, I’m just going to presume that you have never heard of the Wealth Funnel System before. That way, we can start at square one and separate the lies from the truth so you can decide if this business is a right fit for you.

First of all, who is Derrick Harper and what makes his information so valuable? Well he has been marketing on the internet for more than ten years, and has made millions. He has even worked with big companies that most of us are familiar with, like MTV, CMT, Johnson and Johnson Pfizer, Weber Grills and more. What it boils down to is that he is a professional in his field.

Nobody can doubt his expertise, and the Wealth Funnel System was created to not only help beginners, but to allow anyone to make a substantial income from home whether they’ve never sold something online or not. Derrick Harper’s business is especially ideal for beginner marketers, but potentially profitable for ANYONE who is looking to further their income.

Not only that, but it is the one of the only online businesses that offers a 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. Derrick Harper is so sure of his opportunity that he is willing to promise results; something that is very hard to find with other online business opportunities.

So before making the jump with other opportunities that make big claims and big promises of profits, check to see if they’re willing to put their money where they’re mouth is like Derrick Harper has. If they don’t, I invite you to look to click the link below and see why the Wealth Funnel System offers what other businesses won’t.

Team 16k v.s. The Wealth Funnel System

If you’ve been searching numerous pages of Google, trying to find the PERFECT online business, I’m sure you’re a bit exhausted by the number of options you have to consider. Even if you’ve only been at it for a day, I’m sure at one point you’ve seen Chris Campbell’s and Matt Sunderland’s team 16k program. If you’re reading this article right now, I would imagine that you’re probably looking to get some information about their program, and it is my hope that I can assist you in deciding whether Team 16k is a worthwhile business for you.

One thing you should realize is that team 16k is simply the “face” of their business, kind of like a mascot for a team. They use Team 16k as a way to brand themselves among competitors in the ACTUAL business they promote, which is the Reverse Funnel System. Reverse Funnel System has become a big player in the game of online marketing most recently. I’m positive that you’ve come across the trademark of a Reverse Funnel System page, which is the guy in board shorts, lounging in a chair with a laptop in front of him. If you’re not familiar with the Reverse Funnel System, let me break it down for you real quick. It’s a “system” geared towards helping individuals make money with a travel membership club called Global Resorts Network. Similar to Team 16k, the Reverse Funnel System is a team that markets Global Resorts Network. As confusing as that sounds, it means that Team 16k is a team that markets the Reverse Funnel System, and the Reverse Funnel System is a team that markets Global Resorts Network. However, the real focus is Global Resorts Network. They offer great discounts to members who want to stay in high end resorts but not pay the high prices. I’ll spare you the details, but the heart of the matter is really the cost of becoming a Team 16k member, which by default is a Reverse Funnel System member. It is a whopping $3,000 to join, and on top of that it is suggested that you have an additional $5,000 available for advertisement costs. That is a total of $8,000 to start your business. This is not a reasonable price for your average American. To really top things off, it also costs $300 a month to maintain a Reverse Funnel System membership. They are really targeting a very specific income demographic.

I don’t wanna knock on the Reverse Funnel System. There are some people who have done great with their system and god bless them, but if you can’t afford their business where does that leave you? Well, it leaves you looking elsewhere or pawning all of your belongings. The Reverse Funnel System tells its prospects to place their trust in the system, and simply place ads where they’re supposed to. It really keeps things simple, but how is that ever going to benefit you if Ty Coughlin (creator of RFS) decides to pack his bags and clean up shop? You have all this knowledge on where to place ads but no system to direct people to.

You are MUCH better off finding a system that will do the same as Team 16k and Reverse Funnel System,which is walk you through the motions and show you where to place ads and what websites to use. But it is better to find a program that will take things a step further and teach you as you make money, so that you understand the marketing strategy. If you are educated and taught how to use the internet as a means of driving potential buyers you your product, you can succeed in any business venture.

The System I’m hinting to is Derrick Harper’s Wealth Funnel System. Similar to the Reverse Funnel System, it gives you access to products that buyers want, and it even shows you how to advertise to the right demographic. But one major difference between the Wealth Funnel System and other programs is the education. Derrick Harper has 13 years of experience in the realm of internet marketing. He has worked with big companies such as Pfizer, Wyeth, Merk, Johnson & Johnson, MTV Networks, Weber Grills, and many other highly recognized brands. The man knows his stuff, and he has not only put together a very profitable business opportunity, but he teaches you the ins and outs of properly marketing online. With what his system teaches you, you can find success with any business venture you take on with the internet. Very similar to the “teach a man to fish” analogy, the Wealth Funnel System teaches you how to market online, where as other simply teach you how to advertise their specific products.

If you’ve been unsure of whether or not to pursue Team 16k and the Reverse Funnel System, and you’ve just been doing your research to make sure it’s the best option for you, I hope this has helped you in your decision. I advise you to make sure you’re ready to spend as much as is expected with these businesses and that it’s worth every penny.

EDC, Roadmap to riches, and Perfect Wealth Formula: No Difference

If you’ve researched the numerous opportunities available today and have come across EDC Diamond, Roadmap To Riches, and Perfect Wealth Formula, you may have noticed that at some point it becomes difficult to tell one from the other. Despite the fact that all of these companies are promoted separately from each other, if you dig deeper and research the products that they provide affiliates to sell, they’re all practically the same.

At first glance these systems all advertise themselves as a quick way to create large sums of money by selling software products and e-books. Still, if we take a closer look at the products we start to spot significant resemblances. Most of the items are just copies of others with different names, and they all seem to mimic the useless freebies that you see cluttered all over the internet.

As a matter of fact, Perfect Wealth Formula was simply a recreation of EDC Diamond and EDC Gold. The creator is an ex member and simply copied EDC Gold and EDC Diamond. With the exception of a few minor extras, the two systems are practically one and the same.

And let’s not exclude Roadmap To Riches. The lifeblood of their business is fifty self help books that range from every problem out there. It allows you to market to cigarette addicts, nail biters, the obese, and the list goes on. Not only that, but it’s not even as if the products are only available through these companies. A simple Google search will show that anyone can find free versions of these “valuable” eBooks and software programs. What you really don’t see is that the software and products are cover up of what really must be done to make money, which is sell others on the OPPORTUNITY. It’s about getting others excited about the idea of making lots of money with these systems. You won’t find any affiliates claiming to break the bank by selling self help books and software like hot cakes.

If you’re considering EDC Diamond, EDC Gold, Perfect Wealth Formula, Big Ticket To Wealth, or programs of a similar sort. First take a second to see what your other options are. If you’re inexperienced with internet marketing, which is typically the case, it is in your best interest to seek the system that will show you how to market online so that you can squeeze profits from the internet regardless of the products.

No matter how good the products are, or how fancy of a webpage is given to you, if you don’t possess the proper skills needed to successfully market on the internet YOU WILL FAIL and end up wasting your time AND your money on all of these “businesses”.

EDC Diamond, EDC Gold, Big Ticket To Wealth, Perfect Wealth Formula and many others weren’t made to turn new members into experienced internet marketers because that would be like mentoring your competition. It is better to find the program where your peers have an incentive to help you become successful. A program that will help you learn the ropes and at the same time give you access to high yield and high value products that consumers want to buy. When you find this, your success is mandatory, not optional.

I hope this article helps you in your decision or search for a program that suits your needs. More importantly, I hope that you’ve managed to read this before you’ve spent your hard earned money on any of these “opportunities”.

In closing, I suggest that you be as critical as possible of every opportunity you view, and base their quality on both the products they offer AND their training system.

I wish you the best in your business endeavors

If you’ve studied the various programs available to those in search of an online business and have seen EDC Diamond, Roadmap To Riches, and Perfect Wealth Formula, you might have noticed that they all share a number of similarities. Although they are promoted separately from one another, when you really take a look at the products they offer, you quickly realize that they’re almost indistinguishable from one another.

At first sight, these systems all claim to have products that consumers are looking for. But when you notice that a number of companies all seem to be offering the same products, it begins to seem that the availability of these items hardly make them as valuable as they’re made out to be. They don’t appear to be worth any more than the free giveaways that other marketers hand out in exchange for your information.

As a matter of fact, Perfect Wealth Formula was built from the very products of EDC Diamond and EDC Gold. The creator was once a member and simply remodeled EDC Gold and EDC Diamond, adding several “original” products, which hardly hides the clear similarities.

And let’s not forget Roadmap To Riches. Their whole business is centered around fifty self help e-books ranging from weight loss, cigarette addiction, to helping nail biters. If you can think of it, chances are it’s there. Despite the fact that these items are easily accessible by means of a simple search on Google, the true driving force of EDC Diamond, EDC Gold, Perfect Wealth Formula, and Big Ticket To Wealth is the RESELL OF THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. Not a single affiliate is actually redistributing the products that these companies claim as their backbone. And it would make sense considering the ease in finding the products without any of these companies.

If you’re considering EDC Diamond, EDC Gold, Perfect Wealth Formula, Big Ticket To Wealth, or any other similar program. First take a moment to review other alternatives. If you’re new to internet marketing, which most newcomers are, it is in your best interest to find the system that will properly educate you on how to market online.

It doesn’t matter if you have a great product, with a webpage that makes every viewer want to pull out their credit card and purchase your item, it will mean nothing if you can’t even get people to your webpage. Without internet marketing skills, you will fall into the demographic of failed business owners and unfortunately waste your money.

EDC Diamond, EDC Gold, Big Ticket To Wealth, Perfect Wealth Formula and many others weren’t meant to create experienced internet marketers. It is better to find the program where your mentors have reason to make you successful, and a system that has all of the resources necessary to properly educate you. A program that will teach you the ropes as well as providing you the opportunity to sell a product that is actually in demand. When you find this, your success will be much more likely.

It is my hope that this article is of value to you in your search for a program that meets your needs. Hopefully, you’ve come across this before forking your money over to a company that is less than right for you.

In closing, I strongly suggest that you judge all of the opportunities you look at by the value of their training system, and place as much of an importance on this as you would for any other criteria.

Wishing you the best success

Libery League International: Scam or Not?

For those of you looking into the business opportunity that Liberty League International offers, you’re probably pondering the inner workings of the system and whether or not you see yourself making as much money as their program suggests. I’d like to provide a brief synopsis of their system and show how it works, which will hopefully provide you with an idea of whether or not you think you can use their system to fulfill your financial goals.

One sure thing with Liberty League International is that there’s a level playing field and really anyone can get started considering the $50 entrance fee. However, the downside to this is that once you start making sales you have to give up your first 5 to the individual that signed you up. Only then can you “promote” and start earning $1000 for every sale you accumulate. So where they lack in start up costs, they make up for in the way they’ve setup the compensation plan.

That pretty much means that you are forking over $5000 worth of sales to your up line even though you worked to acquire them. However, if you don’t like the sound of that then there is a way around it. By purchasing any of Liberty League’s products it drops the pass up amount from 5 to 2. There are 3 products to choose from that Liberty League offers, varying from $1500 to $13000, with the least expensive one being a personal growth course called Beyond Freedom. It’s a study course intended to promote self improvement and relieve individuals of self limiting beliefs that may be holding them back from the success they desire. If you purchase Beyond Freedom, which is typically encouraged, you are only two pass up sales away from being qualified to earn money for your sales.

So after paying $50 to join, then spending a minimum of $1500, and giving up your first two sales to your sponsor, are you then “qualified” to earn full commissions. The remaining products offered are conferences, and they are extensions of the Beyond Freedom course. They’re 3 day events that are typically hosted in exotic locations, and they cost either $8,000 or $13,000, depending on which conference you choose.

That is a quick explanation of the Liberty League compensation plan. I could go more into detail on how to make commissions on event ticket sales, but its really the same concept.

If you really take a look at what Liberty League International offers, its really just a very expensive personal growth program. If you were to buy each of their products you would be spending around $23000. Its difficult to put a price on self development and self worth, but there are similar programs that can offer the same help to individuals for much less.

One other important thing to note is that your support system and training is really reliant on the individual who signed you up. Therefore, your success is very much so dependent on the person who found you. The problem with that is you can have a completely different outcome than if you had been signed up by somebody else.

There are some people who have seen great success with Liberty League International, and you can find successful individuals in any business opportunity you look at. Some people just know what they’re doing or just make the right moves, but when there’s a system that shows you ALL the right moves, then it doesn’t matter who you are. With a system that can be reproduced by anyone, your success is much more likely

It isn’t easy to find an opportunity that will guarantee your success and tell you ahead of time that they’ve already figured out how to be successful and that all you need to do is follow the steps. Most times, you hear about how “good” the opportunity is, and how much money individuals have made, and they beat around the bush.

However, you can find a system that embodies the concept of training members how to properly market online, and it is called the Wealth Funnel System. It is the product of a seasoned and experienced markter who goes by the name of Derrick Harper. With a 13 year career and references from big names such as Pfizer, Wyeth, Merk, Johnson & Johnson, MTV Networks, Weber Grills, and many other highly recognized brands, Derrick Harper knows what he is doing. He created the wealth funnel system to provide an opportunity that reveals his expertise and shows how to apply his methods to create a substantial income from home.

If you’ve been lacking the confidence in taking the next step with Liberty League International and you simply want more information, I suggest you include some research on other alternatives to make sure that it is not only a GOOD opportunity, but the best one as well. If you find the system that will properly train you, you can make money with whatever marketing program you’d like because the fortune is in the skill set.

It is my hope that this article is of assistance to you while you search for the right home business. Liberty League definitely has some things going for them that can allow an individual to earn significant profits, but for the rookie internet marketer I believe there are better alternatives.

Big Ticket To Wealth v.s. Wealth Funnel System

If you’re taking a look at the many options available today for a home based business, the search for the right one can be exhausting. For anyone who is strongly considering Big Ticket To Wealth, I would like to highlight some disadvantages and suggest a comparable alternative.

The creators of Big Ticket to Wealth, Gerald Van Yerxa and Brian McCoy, have been working with every affiliate marketing program that has been around; which is reflected in the opportunity they’ve created. For example, if you’re familiar with EDC Gold or EDC Diamond you’ll notice some obvious similarities between the two. Both programs provide access to numerous software programs for its members to sell online. Therefore, the profits lie in the reselling of those products. Though the creators have made an attempt to make Big Ticket look more appealing by adding some catchier web pages and enhanced compensation plans, it’s really just a whitewash of other product based companies like EDC.

Furhermore, Many companies along with Big Ticket To Wealth emphasize the quality of their products and their opportunity, but fail to accommodate for the fact that a large majority of individuals who are seeking an online business have never owned or operated one before. No matter how fancy of a web page you get or how great the product is, it doesn’t matter if nobody sees it. More important than anything is being able to educate new affiliates on how to properly market on the internet. There must be a system in place that takes care of this problem.

How many times have you seen ridiculous products that somehow seem to sell like crazy? You’ve seen them before: the pet rock, slinkies, yo-yo’s, goofy ab machines. As silly as some of these products seem, someone gets rich off of them. It’s because of the marketing. The fortune isn’t in what you sell, but knowing how to sell it. If you are taught how to market online and use all of the resources available to you on the internet, you can create a large income selling anything.

The only home based business that I’ve come across that places importance on teaching its members before letting them loose to conquer the internet is Derrick Harper’s Wealth Funnel System. With 12 years of experience in the world of marketing Derrick Harper shares his methods and shows the ins and outs of how he successfully turns the internet into a cash cow.

Also, unlike Big Ticket’s long list of product choices, Wealth Funnel System focuses on only seven. Seven products that have proven to yeild high profits and put money in pockets.

So if you’re leaning towards Big Ticket To Wealth as a likely candidate for your online business, make sure you know how to market all of those products. Or if you’re still searching, find the system that will provide you with education. Its one of the most important things to look for if you’re new to the game of online marketing.
