Well, after some extensive research and countless hours scouring the various forums, blogs, and web sites, I have made my decision. I signed up for the Reverse Funnel System last night. Now, I wasn't expect things to really take off right away but I decided to stay up late and place some ads as they recommended. It really wasn't too difficult and the cost was reasonable so I figured "why not get started?" I then went to bed and didn't sleep very well because I couldn't get my mind to stop working. I was brainstorming all night on ways to make this thing take off and really work for me. I got up this morning at 4:00 am to get started in my advertising campaign, checked my email and, to my surprise, I had already earned $2,000 in commissions! I thought I was dreaming for a moment but after several pinches, some cold water in the face, and a minute or two, I realized it wasn't a dream. This is amazing! This thing really works, and works well. All I did was follow the easy to understand instructions on placing ads and BAM! I made a quick two grand!

Unbelievable?! Well, it is... APRIL FOOLS!!! I haven't joined RFS yet and am still undecided as to which way I will go. I am almost certain that I will join Global Resorts Network but just not sure who's team I will be a part of. The reason I can say that I am certain I will join is I think it is a remarkable value for the price and since my wife and I like to travel, we could benefit form the membership alone. If I can find a way to turn it into an income generator, all the better!

On a more serious note, I sat in on a "newbie" call last night for Mark Hoverson's team and found it quite interesting. The title of the webinar was "How to Avoid Rookie Mistakes, and Get Started FAST with Global Resorts." The things that were discussed were the top 5 mistakes "newbies" make when starting out in GRN, all of which made good sense and were accurate. The webinar was hosted by Mark Hoverson and one of his affiliates named Debbie. Debbie is new to GRN but apparently is doing really well. She initially discussed how she got started and her reluctance in making the jump to internet marketing. She talked about how she went to the beach to make her first video, which appears to be an important part of Hoverson's marketing plan, and ended up wasting all the daylight trying to muster up the courage and find the words. She eventually gave up a went back home to try another day. Well, she finally made that video, now has a web site set up, and is able to find the courage to lead a webinar for over one hundred people. Debbie used a Power Point presentation to go through her information and, not to be harsh, but it was primitive to say the least. What this showed me is that you don't have to be a computer or marketing genius to get this to sell.

I consider myself to be above average in computer literacy and I can handle my own in Photoshop, HTML, and Power Point so if Debbie can do it, so can I, and maybe even a little better. I have generated some really unique ideas on how to advertise this and I will be testing them for the first time with this program. I will post about the results and share with you all the outcome and income. Check back often or subscribe to the feed to stay up to date on my progress and profit.

In all of my many hours of research and efforts to find out more information on RFS and GRN, I opted in to a few lists and one of those lists was Mark Hoverson's. I wanted to get my hands on a "FREE" report he was offering. With that "opt-in", I was added to his autoresponder and no receive emails almost daily. One of those emails, which I received today, was Mark asking me " What's your impression of the reverse funnel?" Come to find out, Mark is a member of Reverse Funnel System, or so it appears, and has his own little website. I was aware he was a member of the "TruthtoWealth" Team but not RFS. Here is his link to RFS: http://www.thousanddollarprofits.com/hoverson

Now, don't get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with this and I think it proves he is a smart business man. He hasn't placed all his eggs in one basket and has diversified his offerings which increase his chances for success. I like the way he thinks. I am curious as to how it all works out in the end, meaning, which one pays him more. It appeared to me that all of his videos on YouTube were for "TruthtoWealth" and I didn't find any for "RFS." One thing is for sure, he is a firm believer in Global Resorts Network and perhaps "RFS" is how he got his start in it to begin with. If you want see how much enthusiasm this guy has, check out his videos here. Perhaps he felt, like many others I have run across in my many hours on Google, that the $299/month web site was a bit steep? Or perhaps he felt there was a better way and decided to venture out on his own and find it? One question I would like answered would be, does he use the same member number for Global Resorts Network in both systems?

Well, Mark, if your reading this and you get any hits on your website from it, I want a finders fee. Since I don't have a link of my own yet to post, I can only solicit a "finders fee" and not a "commission."

While I will continue to research this more, $3k is a lot to drop without doing your homework, I will be making a decision in the coming week. Check back often to follow me on my trek to set my family and myself free from the "vacuum" of trading time for money.
