The Presentation!

OK, I watched the presentation. It took all of the requested hour to view all the information and videos as well as listen to Ty's audio. Now, when I paid my $50, I thought I was going to get a report on how to make money online using the Reverse Funnel System. I was excited right away when, shortly into the first audio from Ty, he promises access to 7 revenue streams. This got me excited because if you are anything like me and have been looking for an online business to supplement your income, you have probably ran across plenty of reports or books that all have recommended having multiple streams of income. This seemed to be right in line with that concept. As the presentation continued, I was presented with my first revenue stream, Global Resorts Network.

Global Resorts Network (GRN) is just as it sounds, a network of resorts all over the world that offer incredible discounts for weeks of accommodations (avg. $298-$699/week). Now, I will admit, there are some nice resorts in their list. The kicker is it costs $2,995 to join GRN plus a $100 yearly maintenance fee. So to get started, it's a total of $3,095. That is a big nut to cover to get started but if you vacation a lot and like to stay at 4 or 5 star resorts, accommodations could cost you as much or more than your membership fee for one weeks stay which would make this a no brainer.

Now, the commission structure with GRN is generous but a little confusing. You get $1,000 for every person you sponsor after the first one who joins under you. What this means is for your very first sale, you get nothing because they call this your "qualifier." This "qualifies" your first level. This happens on every level of depth to your matrix. The commission from the first person to start a new layer goes to the house, those above you. But everyone else that hits the level, you get paid on. Now, I can see a real opportunity to make some money and see how they can advertise making $20,000/week. I think there is the potential there but just how much effort, how much time and how much money you would have to spend (i.e. on AdSense, PPC, Banners, etc.) to get there is yet to be seen. One of the promises made by Ty Coughlin is that they will show you where and how to place all your advertising to get traffic and make sales. One question I have at this point is, like all MLM programs, there comes a point in time when saturation is met and makes it difficult to make the kind of money as all those who joined early do. I wonder if GRN is close to that point or if there is still room to get in? I will do some research on this.

While I do have the money to invest in this, if I were so inclined, I can't get to it right away. I have to transfer these funds and it takes a few days to get this accomplished. This is a great way to prevent an impulse buy and if I would have had easy access to this money I would probably be a member of Global Resorts Network right now. The presentation, testimonials and all the sales copy were pretty convincing!

But, since I didn't have easy access, I was forced to wait. I have since done some more research on GRN and if you Google "Reverse Funnel System" or "Global Resorts Network" you will get plenty of hits. There are a ton of videos on YouTube about it all. There are some made by members of RFS that show their back office and show just how much money they have made. There are also some videos of people who are members of GRN but not via the RFS. They, too, are making money with the product. I call it a product because that is exactly what it is, a product that you sell and get others to sell below you. It is a typical MLM setup but with a little more equal commission system. You get the same commission as the person who is three levels above you on each sale. I haven't seen a MLM ever that offered that type of commission structure.

Well, I haven't committed to join GRN so I wanted to see what the next revenue stream may be. But it appears that you can't move on to the next revenue stream unless you accept the first one. This part is a little disheartening. I haven't even been given an affiliate number to advertise RFS and try to bring in leads. This is really strange to me because everything I have seen in the past, they give you an affiliate number right away so you can start bringing in more affiliates. Perhaps this is because they don't really have anything else to offer and make all their money off affiliates joining and not the products or information they are offering??? RFS seems to be different.

In conclusion, I am in a holding pattern right now with the Reverse Funnel System and Global Resorts Network. I will check back in after a couple of days to let you know what I have decided to do. Right now, I am going to continue my research about all of the above.
