I get at least one email per day asking if the "next big thing" really works and if it's worth spending ONLY $37 to try it out because, hey, making $12,000 per month after spending ONLY $37 ain't bad. Right?
First, I want to illustrate what you guys are up against and show you just how quickly $37 can turn into a thousand dollars with a hundred dollar per month rebill.
These images were taken directly from several different product's affiliate pages. All are offering the same thing: a ton of money (Usually between $12k-$20k per month) with little or no work for only $37 upfront!
Take a look:
Now, let me explain what you're looking at.
The first number you see, typically between $33 and $77, is the front-end offering. You'll be sold on a STORY alone about how this product will change your life. You'll be shown pictures of bank accounts, cars, houses, and boats, and you'll be told that all of this and more is possible with this product that costs "Only $37!"
Unfortunately, here's what you really get for "Only $37!" You are paying for the privilege to be sold MORE stuff. The initial product DOES NOT MATTER. In fact, it's more than likely useless. You'll be told you need to spend hundreds of dollars more on additional products just to make the first one work.
This is where you enter into the sales funnel. With just a few clicks of a mouse, you can easily run up over a thousand dollars plus another $100 per month charge. I guess it IS possible to make money with just the click of a button. The only problem is, you're not the one making it as someone is profiting OFF OF YOU.
This is, unfortunately, just the start. You may try and use the program, but within a few months time, you'll be back at square one and Mr. Guru who agreed to help you solve all your financial woes will be back with ANOTHER funnel for you to buy into. "Oh and hey, while you're at it, check out this program by my friend which will also change your life! It's only $37!"
And the cycle will repeat itself until you've spent thousands and having nothing to show for it.
If you're reading this then you're already in the right place. There are no upsells here, no JV offers, no joint promotions, no ridiculously long sales funnels to suck as much money out of you. You get quality training here that will teach you how to do Internet Marketing RIGHT and that comes with support from both Kyle & Carson and the community as a whole.
Stay safe out there guys.
