Easy Daily Cash? A brief review and comparison of EDC

Published under Business by Joe Marquez. No Comments .

If you’ve recently come across the EDC business opportunity and you’re looking for some facts, I’d like to briefly review the business and maybe point out some things you may have overlooked or simply didn’t notice.

Let’s start at the beginning. EDC is a direct sales company that offers its members access to all sorts of ebooks and computer software. Their big pitch is that you can make money by reselling any of their software, which supposedly amounts to more than $100,000 worth of products. In reality, if you take a close look at this software (there’s a lot), you should notice that a lot of it is useless to you as a business owner, and holds no value in helping you to build your business.

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.

Rather than buying into the claims and immediately thinking about what you’re gonna purchase with all of the money you plan to make, take a second to think and don’t count your chickens before they hatch. If you intend to be financially free, you’re going to need a stream of income coming to you for the next 20, 30, maybe 50 years. Can EDC provide you with that? Will these products be of any value by that time? You need to be determining if EDC can “make” you money, or “teach” you to make money. The Wealth Funnel System can help you with that.

Follow my links for more information about the Wealth Funnel System by Derrick Harper. I hope this article is of some type of value to you in your search for the right home based business, and more importantly your financial freedom.

I wish you the best success no matter what you choose, Joe Marquez

Team 16k & The Reverse Funnel System: One and The Same

Published under Home by Joe Marquez. No Comments .

by Joe Marquez

If you’re typing away at Google with hopes that it’ll spit out the right online business for you, chances are you’ve been at it for a long time. It isn’t easy sifting through the limitless options. Well if this sounds like you, I wouldn’t be surprised if you came across team 16k, with the picture of those two dudes standing next to each other. I would imagine that you stumbled across this article because you’re researching Chris Campbell’s and Matt Sunderland’s home business, and hopefully I’ll be able to reason with you to help you decide whether team 16k is a suitable business for you.

Now, team 16k is really just the face of the business they promote. It’s really just a branding gimmick to hide what they’re truly promoting, which is the Reverse Funnel System. Most recently, the Reverse Funnel System has been a dominant player in the realm of online marketing, and I don’t doubt that you’ve seen more than one advertisement flaunting the “beach bum” with his laptop in a lounge chair. Now, if you aren’t familiar with the Reverse Funnel System, it promotes a travel membership club called GRN or Global Resorts Network. It allows its members to stay in high end resorts for discounted prices, similar to a timeshare network system. It’s a great opportunity. However, the downside is the high cost of becoming a Reverse Funnel System associate. The program costs $3,000 to join and on top of that it is suggested that you also have an additional $5,000 in start up costs for advertisement. ON TOP OF THAT, it costs $300 a month to subscribe to the system and even more money if you intend to buy any other software to help automate your business. THAT’S EXPENSIVE, or at least it is for most people. They’re targeting a very specific demographic, and consequently leaving out the little guy, so to speak.

I’m not trying you bash on Team 16k and the Reverse Funnel System. They’re profitable businesses and people have made a lot of money with them. However, a large majority of people looking for online businesses simply can’t afford something that expensive. As a result, you’re marketing demographic is smaller, which means you can’t target as many people as a business that has a more reasonable start up cost. Not only that, but what are these programs really teaching you? Basically, you’re left with plenty of knowledge on where to place ads. That’s it. Their systems have already been assembled so that it is fool proof, but that leaves out any room for learning on how to truly market products online.

It would be more beneficial to find a business that will do the same as Team 16k and Reverse Funnel system and provide you with tools that have proven to be effective, but also teach you how to become an internet marketer. That way, you can be creative in the promotion of your business and not just do what everyone else is doing. When you have the necessary skills to market ANYTHING online, you can be successful with any program or product, period.

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.

So if you’ve been on the fence with whether to pursue the Reverse Funnel System, or maybe you’re saving up for it and in the meantime you’ve been looking for other options (and I wouldn’t blame you), I urge you to look for the business that is the right cost for you and the one that will educate you on how to market online like a pro.

Is The Reverse Funnel System A Scam? Read This Review

Published under Business by Joe Marquez. No Comments .

by Joe Marquez

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.

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.

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 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 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. 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.

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

Published under Business by Joe Marquez. No Comments .

by Joe Marquez

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.

On the surface, these systems all sell themselves as a way to quickly generate significant profits by redistributing product software and e-books. Again, if you compare the products being offered by these companies, it’s as if they all found their products from the same place and simply renamed them. Not only that, but they all appear to be of no more value than the freebies you see given away at every other website that is looking to acquire your information for later use.

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 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 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.

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 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.

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 nitpicky as you possibly can when researching all of the businesses you come across, and base their quality on the proper criteria.

Wishing you the best success

Liberty League International v.s. Wealth Funnel System

Published under Business by Joe Marquez. No Comments .

by Joe Marquez

If you’ve taken a look at the Liberty League International opportunity, and perhaps weren’t completely convinced, I’d like to point out some key things to further review if you’re leaning towards buying into their program. I’ll shed some light on what it takes to reach the point where commissions are made, and how they’ve structured their compensation plan, along with suggesting an equal alternative that may be more suitable for you if you’re new to online marketing.

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 the Liberty League compensation plan in a nutshell. It’s possible to earn commissions on conference sales, but that simply requires more money out of your pocket.

When you break it down, Liberty League International is for the most part a very expensive personal growth course totaling $22,500 if you partake in each of their products. You really can’t put a price on self development, but one would think that with almost $23,000 dollars you can buy a lot more than a deep sense of belief in yourself.

One key factor to your success is the support system that you’re offered. When you start a Liberty League business, you rely on your upline to mentor you. You are considered a team member in your upline’s organization and it is up to them to help you get off on the right start. So you want to hope that your upline mentor knows what they’re doing. The problem here is that your success can be completely different from someone with another upline.

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 is hard to find a business that places an emphasis on a solid system. You typically will see businesses that promote their opportunity, but rarely will you find one that guarantees your success.

However, there is a program out there that has all the necessary items to ensure your success and even guarantee profits. It is the Wealth Funnel System, created by internet marketing veteran Derrick Harper. With 13 years experience and an impressive resume that boasts big names such as Pfizer, Wyeth, Merk, Johnson & Johnson, MTV Networks, Weber Grills, and many other highly recognized brands, its no wonder why people see such great results. His opportunity offers a product that the market demands, and his system shows you how to properly market the products to put profits in pockets.

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.

I hope this puts things in perspective for you if you’ve been on the fence with whether or not to pursue the liberty league business. It is undoubtedly a worthwhile opportunity, but be sure it is the best option for you.

Big Ticket To Wealth: Scam?

Published under Business by Joe Marquez. No Comments .

by Joe Marquez

For those of you doing extensive research on the many online businesses available today, I would like to shed some light on Big Ticket To Wealth. If you’re considering it as a potential choice in your search for the right business, it would be important to note one of its weak points.

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.

Furthermore, Big Ticket along with the other programs that mirror it, all seem to lack a certain focus that really should be the priority of any home based business. A large majority of individuals seeking a home based business know nothing about operating one, let alone doing so successfully. Therefore, before the products and the web pages and the great compensation plan there has to be a system in place that shows newcomers what to do in order to see the checks come in. What matters is not what you sell but how you sell it.

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 seen to place emphasis on teaching its new affiliates how to properly market online is Derrick Harper’s Wealth Funnel System. Derrick Harper has a 13 year internet marketing career, having worked with big names such as MTV, Pfizer, Weber Grills, and many other popular brands. In the Wealth Funnel System, he takes his knowledge and provides hours of video and reading material to help the rookie start off in the right direction.

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 taking a look at Big Ticket To Wealth, or any other program that is out there, find the one that will walk you through the process of marketing online ALONG with providing high quality products and services. You can’t have one without the other.
