Reprinted Articles

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.

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 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.

I hope this article is somewhat helpful in your evaluation of Team 16k and The Reverse Funnel System. If you’re still unsure about what online business to pursue, make sure to place as much emphasis on whether the program will educate you, just as you would with any other criteria.

Wishing you the best, Joe Marquez
