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.

Team 16k isn't the business you're buying into when you join. You're actually joining the Reverse Funnel System, which is a whole other topic in itself. Team 16k is simply a "capture page" that leads you into the Reverse Funnel System opportunity. Now, the Reverse Funnel System is another "system" that teaches you how to market another opportunity called Global Resorts Network. So essentially it works like this, team 16k is a team that recruits individuals into the Reverse Funnel System, and the Reverse Funnel Systems trains you on how to make money with Global Resorts Network. The real prize is Global Resorts Network. It's a very popular travel membership club that allows its members to visit high end resorts for discounted prices. Now, that's a lot to swallow but the real matter at hand is the buy in price of becoming a Team 16k/Reverse Funnel System Member. It will cost you $3,000 to become a Reverse Funnel System Member. On top of that, it is suggested that you also have $5,000 in start up costs for advertisement. Furthermore, there is a monthly fee of $300 a month to maintain your membership. So before you consider Team16k or the Reverse Funnel System, you will need $8,000 to start up and enough money to pay $300 a month. That's a lot for the average American.

I don't wanna knock on the Reverse Funnel System. There are some people who have done great with their system and god bless them, but if you can't afford their business where does that leave you? Well, it leaves you looking elsewhere or pawning all of your belongings. The Reverse Funnel System tells its prospects to place their trust in the system, and simply place ads where they're supposed to. It really keeps things simple, but how is that ever going to benefit you if Ty Coughlin (creator of RFS) decides to pack his bags and clean up shop? You have all this knowledge on where to place ads but no system to direct people to.

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.

So if you've been on the fence with whether to pursue the Reverse Funnel System, or maybe you're saving up for it and in the meantime you've been looking for other options (and I wouldn't blame you), I urge you to look for the business that is the right cost for you and the one that will educate you on how to market online like a pro.

Wishing you the best, Joe Marquez
