A Look At The Reverse Funnel System
written by John Chow
You’ve no doubt seen ads for The Reverse Funnel System on this blog and countless other blogs. Reverse Funnel advertisers have been one of this blog’s most consistence advertisers, renewing their ads month after month. But what is The Reverse Funnel System and how does it work? With this review, I hope to shed some light on that question.
Systems Work, People Fail
The Reverse Funnel System was invented by Ty Coughlin, an ex-construction laborer who was drowning in the work-a-day life. We all know that story, right? However, thanks to The Reverse Funnel System, Ty no longer works. These days, he just sit around his house while looking at the money roll in from his Macbook Pro.
The Reverse Funnel System is a system to automate the money making process. It’s set up to guide a prospect through a “funnel” and come out the other side with a complete understand on how the system works. Basically, the system does the work so you don’t have to.
$50 Application Fee
To separate the tire kickers from the serious entrepreneurs, the system requires interested prospects to enter and confirm their email address. Then it sends them an email with a link to a page that ask them pay $50 to find out what the system is all about. Many people will be put off by this requirement right away and that’s the whole idea. By charging the $50 fee, the system ensure that only truly interested prospects see it.
If you decide The Reverse Funnel System isn’t for you after paying the $50 and looking over the materials, you can request a refund and go about your merry way. If you decide to join the system, then be prepare to spend some money advertising on various make money online blogs because that’s how the system works. You buy ads to generate traffic and that traffic makes you money. The more ads you buy, the more traffic you generate and the more money you make. That’s how it should work anyway.
What Am I Selling?
At this point, you’re all wondering what you’ll be selling. Unfortunately, the conditions of this review prevents me from stating what the product is. It’s going to cost you $50 to find out. I can tell you The Reverse Funnel System promote several products but they start you off with a very high end $3,000 offering that pays you $1,000 commission on a sale. The affiliate program is multi-tiered. If you refer someone to The Reverse Funnel System and they make a sale, you get $1,000 commission from that as well. Build a big enough network and you might be able join Ty on the beach with your own Macbook Pro.
This high commission rate helps to explain why I get so many Reverse Funnel System advertisers. All they have to do is make one sale and not only will that pay the full cost of a $500 ad, they’ll net $500 as well. A lot of people will write off The Reverse Funnel System as some kind of scam. However, it’s clearly making money for these advertisers. Otherwise, why would they continue to pay $500 every month to maintain their banner ads on this blog?
The one big downside I see with The Reverse Funnel System is you need to buy the $3,000 product yourself before you can participate in the system and refer other affiliates. While the product is a real product that’s been around for 20 years, there will be some people who won’t have a use for it.
If you decide to get involve with The Reverse Funnel System, then I recommend you have some cash available. You’ll need $50 for the application fee, $3,000 for the product and more money to buy advertising. The system generates its leads and income by having affiliates buy advertising on 1000’s of blogs. If you don’t have any money left after buying the product and paying the application fee, then making money from the system is going to be really hard. At least you can still enjoy the $3,000 product.

So it’s a pyramid scheme?
If I take a funnel, turn it upside down it looks kinda like a pyramid…weird.
That is what I wanted to say is kind of MLM - Networking…The only winner here are the ones who started at the beggining and the owner.
Yeah only the ones who get in early will find it easy to suck people in and Without the $3000 worth of product , this will be an illegal activity. I have only reached till the $50 payment and was shocked to know I had to pay another $3000. Luckily they send me a refund. I suggest you use that $3000 to promote your blog, you can earn more from your blog with that $3000 worth of advertising. Right?
I think most of us out there know about the reverse funnel system scam.
Sure John, it “works so well” because people scam other people into buying it for high profit margins…
Lol… I know this is a review but John, I think this idea has been beat to death and I don’t know “anyone” who made money from it.
Actually there are tons of people that make money from pyramid schemes. I think the amount of SCAM sorta gave this whole thing a really bad name even though the idea behind it isn’t that bad.
I know of people that work in the investing world that work under the pyramid scheme and they are quite successful.
As long as there is a real product, it has a chance to be successful.
I cant believe you are actually promoting this stuff ! Its a complete scam and wont work. Why? Read this post of a similar scam type system - http://www.successonline.in/the-make-money-in-seven-days-system-beware/
Yes, it is a PYRAMID SCHEME. Nothing new under the sun. The product? Vacation time and travel through global resorts network!
If you are gullible, stupid and want to burn your money then please run, don’t walk.
Chow if you like whoring yourself so much, why not become a lobbyist? You’re a natural!
and if you like whoring yourself on other people’s blog why don’t you put your name rather than being anonymous
Good point!
xD I love it when people talk trash and don’t even give their name. Its easy to be an internet tough guy.
LoL
this is why Ty’s scam works! there are soooo many idiots around. just look at these two jacksauces. even when anon spelled it out for them they still can’t see it!
No kidding. People are so bold behind their computer screens, but most would never say that to the person’s face.
Yes and no. There IS a product behind all this funneling. They just make it seem very secretive. I wish it was more transparent. They’d still turn people away with the $3500 upfront costs.
Yeah. Not a fan of pyramid/MLM.
Oh that’s what the 50$ is for. Separating the tire kickers from the serious.
Well I’ve never investigated the system, and the only knowledge I have about it is this explanation right here. And my first thought was “well if THAT guy can do it…” but that’s just me being silly.
In all seriousness, if a person feels this is the method to make it-more power to them. But I personally would have a hard time steering a friend to this particular method. Even one of my rich friends.
like you said, i’m sure this is working for some people, but paying $3000 for something i might not have a use for is not up my alley, in my budget… i suppose you could always sell the item afterwards…. unless it’s a $3000 inflatable electric toaster… the market for something like that is smaller than you’d think.
Yeah, you see this promoted everywhere, thanks John for a fair review of it and a better explanation for those of us that only saw the flash banners
which one is more practical?
making $150/day or $250k/month?
I trully like to keep things simple. Do you know anybody that makes that much money so easy ?
Let’s be serious … in my opinion this is just like the rest of 2 million scams over the internet
I have yet to find someone or some testimonial about the RFS. I wish someone would come out and explain this and how it works. This review is informative, but it doesn’t provide enough transparency.
I think that’s because John was smart enough not to waste his money on this one.
I’ve always wondered that myself. Why is it that there hasn’t been a real testimonial on this? Granted, they can’t spill EVERYTHING, but still.
Sounds dubious at best - John, just hope I don’t see one of these turn up here with reference to this in the future.
LOL, the alt tag of the image is: I need a haircut.
Btw as the other guys said earlier, it looks like a pyramid scheme.
this stuff only worked or works for the people who invented or started this. You will be a complete idiot to get fulled by it these days.
Unfortunately there are a lot of idiots on the internet.
Woow cant wait to get my hands on this one
Hmmm cant wait to get my hands on them!
Ajith
Lets assume that I spend $3050…will I have to do work for 18 hours still? Or I head towards the beach directly?
If you were planning on investing $3,000 into a timeshare vacation package anyway, then this may be exactly what you’re looking for.
I think that is two much but again i think it’s works for them when they are promoting system on zillion sites.
I was looking forward for more reviews of this System. And I have some questions that I bet a lot of people have in this moment ?
1. What product costs 3000$ ? (This money buys a second-hand car)
2. An example of a blog which advertises this product? (Have never seen one).
Selling a 3000$ products it`s not easy done through blogs.
Anyone has another view on this Beach Bum?
Google the reverse funnel system, and you’ll find a couple of good reviews about this. It doesn’t appear to be a scam. It’s just costly to get in the door, and once you’re in, there’s a question as to whether you can actually profit as much as the beach bum on the top.
Buy a car.
This really just sounds like a pyramid scheme. You have to pony up $3500 just to start adding people to your “network”.
This kind of sounds like an affiliate program you have to pay to join. Interesting, rule number one is, never pay to join an affiliate program.
You make a good point. It’s a beefed-up affiliate program that seems to scam people with high upfront costs.
Agreed. And it looks like Ty is the only one who is going to be making bank off it.
You may be right. I know about some programs similar to this. Amway, Japanlife etc. Its a triangle kind of thing where you make more members. The truth here is that only people in the top line earn a lot of money. Most of them quit while others make some money.
Sounds like a pyramid scheme for time shares where everyone pays a $3000 for the 5 year rights to 1 week a year of a holiday house. For example, $3000 might give you access to a holiday house in FIJI between May 12th and May 19th for 5 years. If they manage to fill up every week of the year, that’s 52x$3000= $150000.
Enough to buy a holiday shack in a cool holiday destination?? Not sure, certainly not enough to buy one in Australia.
And when 5 years is up, inflation has brought the holiday house to $250 000 and the owner sells it.
Also it could be a $3000 industrial vacuum cleaner though…
Ok now you convinced me to not to buy this thing.
LOL
“the conditions of this review prevents me from stating what the product is”
Something smells fishy.
It’s not a “pyramid scheme”, it’s direct sales. The product is a travel membership, but not a timeshare. You must actually own the product in order to be eligible for their referral program, which is why you must purchase the product. The marketing system converts very well, at least 25% of $50 paid applicants will buy the product. With $1,000 commission on each sale, it doesn’t take long to recoupe that investment. A real business is going to take start up costs and advertising costs so if you’re looking to get something for nothing, then it’s probably not for you.
And if you’re looking for something for the $3050 then it’s probably not for you either
This is really really expensive to even start up!
I had no idea, thanks for the review, John. Just don’t think this is for me at this time. I am wondering what the $3000 product is now though…
According to the other comments and some posts I’ve seen it’s basically a vacation time share.
They are selling steak knives.
First of all, if you’re so embarrassed about selling a timeshare/travel membership system that you won’t reveal that without a $50 fee, that’s bad enough.
But the real kicker is there’s a $1,000 commission that goes up and a $1,000 commission that goes down. So the actual suckers you’re flogging this product to are paying $3,000 for a product that by simple math cannot possibly be worth more than $1,000.
What sort of idiot buys that?
There are many people willing to get rich out there , so this would be a STOP for anyone. They trust the system , they dream about getting rich. It`s another pyramidal system that makes 10.000 people buy this product , the only one that makes the cash is The Beach Bum.
hahaha. so true. i once got into one account i found when i was at a hotel someone forgot to log out. that person payed about $400 for a product but didn’t make anything at all. over a course of 3months + plus she/he seemed really active.
we need a johnchow coupon code for $50.
You mean a John Chow coupon for $50 and then $3000 for the product
