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 truth of the matter is that almost ALL commissions with EDC are earned by RESELLING THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. Almost none of the top earners make their thousands from selling the products and software. They make their profits from getting others to join the business. In essence, they’re selling the “dream” and are reliant on the hype of a get rich quick program. The sales page does a great job at painting a picture for the viewer by making big claims, throwing out big numbers and suggesting high potential. Your only real job will be getting others to buy into the idea of making lots of money with EDC.

The real money is in knowing how to market online and find success with ANY product. When you can be a professional in the field of online marketing, you open up endless options for success. That brings me to my next topic: The Wealth Funnel System. Similar in structure to EDC, it provides access to products for members to use. However, the product is one that truly has a value to buyers and members as well. The first stream of income with the Wealth Funnel System is focused on educating and teaching the fundamentals of internet marketing. Also, when you use and implement the techniques taught in the Wealth Funnel System, you have a testimonial and personal experience with what you’re selling. The skills you learn are invaluable.

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.

Wishing you the best, Joe Marquez

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 the price tag that the Reverse Funnel System carries is outside of your budget? Does that mean that the less expensive options won’t be as good? Some would think so; but the cost of a program doesn’t exactly determine how successful you’ll be 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 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 Wealth Funnel system is the only program I’ve seen that focuses on educating its members. Like its competitors, it allow individuals to market a product that people want; but its structured to turn any novice internet marketer into a professional one as quickly as possible. It provides all of the necessary materials to bring rookies up to speed, and then gives them a product to practice their newfound skills on. Furthermore, it gives access to pre written ads that have shown to turn profits; but the ads are included as an option among many. It isn’t the ads that do the selling, it’s the internet marketer; and the Wealth Funnel System knows how to turn you into one.

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

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.

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.

Now, I don’t want to imply that Team 16k and Reverse Funnel System are bad businesses. There are individuals who have seen a lot of success with them. However, if you can’t afford such a high entrance fee, does that mean that all of the other options aren’t as good? Not at all. The Reverse Funnel System simply teaches members where to place ads and how to generate traffic through online advertisement. Little instruction is involved. What you really need to ask yourself is whether or not this puts you in a position to truly be a professional in your area of expertise. To be honest, with these programs you can’t say that. If you walked away, the knowledge you’d be left with is how to put pre-written ads in specific areas. Try taking that and being successful elsewhere. You can’t.

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 that embodies these characteristics is Derrick Harper’s Wealth Funnel System. Like the Reverse Funnel System, it provides you a product and shows you how to advertise online to get people to purchase it. But one major difference is that Derrick Harper strongly encourages his members to find other avenues of advertisement and to be an online marketer. The Wealth Funnel System provides a platform to start off with in your advertising methods, but it teaches you the basics in properly marketing ANY product or business online, so that you can go off and independently work with your own methods. Content is continually added to the database so you are constantly learning. No other affiliate program does this, none. Why is this education material valuable? Derrick Harper is an internet marketing pro. He has been making money online since the internet first gained popularity, and has worked with big companies like Pfizer, Wyeth, Merk, Johnson & Johnson, MTV Networks, Weber Grills, and many other highly recognized brands. He knows his stuff, and to be able to learn his methods is of great value.

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.

Wishing you the best in your home based business, Joe Marquez

If you’re actively seeking an online business and have turned to Google to search for the right one, chances are you were overwhelmed by the number of opportunities and didn’t know where to start. Well, if you’ve done some heavy research chances are you’ve seen Chris Campbell’s and Matter Sunderland’s Team 16k program. You’ve most likely come across this article with hopes of understanding the ins and outs of their opportunity so that you can make a calculated decision as to whether or not it’s for real. It is my hope, that I can help you in that decision.

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.

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 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 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 leaning towards EDC Diamond, EDC Gold, Perfect Wealth Formula, Big Ticket To Wealth, or any other similar program and you have no idea what it takes to make money with an online business, stop to consider other systems that will turn you into an experienced marketer. If you’re new to the game of online marketing, which is usually the case, it is important that you place importance on finding a mentor or a system that will educate you and teach you the basics. No matter how good of a product you have in your possession, it’s not going to sell itself.

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 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

Finding the right online business can be a difficult task considering the numerous of programs available today. If you’ve been considering Big Ticket To Wealth as an answer to the problem, I’d like to briefly compare it to an equally profitable business and call attention to some pros and cons.

If you’re familiar with the many popular affiliate programs available online, you may have noticed that Big Ticket mimics a lot of other companies. The creators of Big Ticket have been involved with almost every program out there today, and they’ve managed to create their own opportunity based on a compilation of their experience with many programs. This is especially true if you compare it to EDC Diamond and EDC Gold. Both companies place their focus on providing affiliates with tons of different software based products to resell online. So in essence, Big Ticket To Wealth is really just a duplicate of 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 often do you come across products that you never would have guessed could make someone money? Take a look at slinkies, the pet rock, yo-yo’s, countless work out videos. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense, but if there is a market for any product and people that are willing to buy, then the money is there if you know how to reach those buyers. The real money lies in the ability to market. If you learn how to reach the millions of individuals surfing the net every day, you can sell anything and make money.

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, instead of providing his members with tons of products to market he only has seven. Seven high profit yielding products that even offer residual pay outs for those who like getting paid multiple times for the same amount of work.

So if you’re considering Big Ticket To Wealth I advise you to further review your options and find the system that will teach and train you to market online. Once you have that, it doesn’t matter what you sell.

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.

If you’re familiar with the many popular affiliate programs available online, you may have noticed that Big Ticket mimics a lot of other companies. The creators of Big Ticket have been involved with almost every program out there today, and they’ve managed to create their own opportunity based on a compilation of their experience with many programs. This is especially true if you compare it to EDC Diamond and EDC Gold. Both companies place their focus on providing affiliates with tons of different software based products to resell online. So in essence, Big Ticket To Wealth is really just a duplicate of 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 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, rather than give WFS members a long list of products to market online, he sticks to just seven. Seven highly profitable products that have shown to put profits 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.
