Has Jeff Long found the holy Grail of list building? His brand new application, InstantCapturePage.com gives you the opportunity to add an opt-in box to any page.

Social media marketing is the hot trend at the moment. Imagine having an opt-in page for every visitor seeking to join your network on Facebook or Twitter. These opt-ins can also be quickly added to blogs, sales pages, affiliate links, and reputedly, any referral websites.

Basically, the InstantCapturePage application is a stand alone opt-in box builder. The trick is that it can be linked to absolutely any site. Any visitors arriving at the site are greeted by your customised box, with the required web page just visible in the background.

You decide whether the visitor has the option of closing, or whether they will be forced to submit their details. That’s down to your offer.

The opt-in can be linked to your existing autoresponder such as Aweber, or all subscribers can simply be sent to a dedicated email address. These subscribers are also held within the back office, and can be downloaded.

Want to greet your visitor personally. Simply, add a video to your opt-in.

But can it really link to any site? I tested a link to a well known colleague of mine, and also to the Facebook log in page. Both worked perfectly, with visitors having to complete my opt-in before gaining access to the respective sites. Cool.

Simplicity is the key. The software has been designed with a user friendly feel, enabling anybody to create a standard opt-in box in minutes. No special skills or training are required. Neither is html knowledge. Links can easily be edited in seconds, allowing speedy, split testing.

This will undoubtably be the “must have” tool of this year, and will be a welcome addition to any online marketers tool-kit, irrespective of rank. The shear simplicity, speed, and global flexibilty of this system means that any site, page, even article, will have list building features in minutes. For affiliate marketers, you now have the ability to build your own list.

The “Reverse Funnel System” is what is known as a “funded proposal ” system. A funded proposal system is where prospects are prequalify and lookie loos are weeded out by a $50.00 business application fee.

If the person applying does not qualify their $50.00 will be refunded. After qualifying the applicant will have 30 days to reviewing the material and if they decide the system is not something they are interested in all they have to do is request a refund and their money will be refunded, no questions asked.

The Reverse Funnel System is also an automated system that, if followed, allows anyone, regardless of their online marketing experience, to make a decent, to a large income, per month by means of a $1,000.00 commision on the sales they make.

In order to make this $1,000.00 per sale commission I have to tell you up front that you will need about $5,000.00 to get started. The first $3,000.00 goes to buying a Global Resorts Network platinum membership which is the product you will be selling.

That’s right the product price is $3,000.00. How did you think you would be making a $1,000.00 commission if the product being sold cost any less.

The rest of the money will go to driving traffic to your web site that is included with the Reverse Funnel System sales package.

On your web site you will have to provide the reviews needed to explain why people should buy the Global Resorts Network platinum membership along with the Reverse Funnel System sales package instead of wasting there money on something else, which in a lot of cases is just a down right scam.

Now once you have your web site up and running what you have to do is set up an advertisement campaign to bring prospective buyers to your web site.

Once the prospective customer decides they are interested in finding out if the RFS is an opportunity they would like to know more and fills out the business application fee and summits it along with the $50.00 fee, I forgot to tell you that you will receive $35.00 of that fee which will help to offset the advertising costs, the automated system really kicks in for you.

Instead of you having to contact the prospective buyer the RFS team handles the final sales conversion leaving you free to write the reviews for your site and placing them in the best possible places to bring people interested in joining the Reverse Funnel System to your site

This is basically what the Reverse Funnel System is and it has been proven to work.

However, seems there is always a “however”, in the last 3+ years the developer of the RFS has not done anything new to his site. No upgrades or revisions just the same site with him sitting in his Speedo overlooking the ocean, and to tell the truth he does not look good in a Speedo, telling you how you to can make money following the RFS.

After 3 years this has really gotten stale. Another item I need to mention is that in the 3 or 4 months I have see the support team that sends out the final sales info and closes the sales seem to have slacked off a little and sales are not quite as high as they were even 6 months ago.

Now I know that there could be a few reasons for this. The largest one being the lack of expendable income for the $3,000.00 buy in and the money needed for a decent ad campaign.

However the support teams, IMO, interest seems to have been slacking off over the last couple of months and this will also affect the sales and commission to you.

Something else you need to know before you invest your money in this system is it will cost you, as I said before, around $5,000.00 to get started and you need spend a fair amount of time writing the reviews for your web site and working on the ad campaign to bring traffic to your site.

If you are interested in a get rich quick system without any effort on your part, where all you have to do is sit around and wait to collect money the Reverse Funnel System will not be for you.

“I’ll take one pound of smoked turkey and two - no make that one - pound of thinly sliced honey ham,” said a frail elderly woman who was stooped over the cart of groceries she had pushed over to the meat counter.

Sam sighed as he picked up the remaining pair of latex gloves. It was a warm, busy day. And he was relieved that Mrs. Habersham was his last customer. Usually he didn’t mind filling in after butchering for the day, but today seemed so long and boring.

Pulling out of the store parking lot, Sam began to muse over the situation. How could he make more money? What skills did he have other than butchering?

Stopping at the last light, his eyes caught the scene at the corner sub shop. “Look at that woman’s carryout bag - must be dinner for the family,” he thought. “And there’s an Akela and his Pack of Scouts with their dinner.”

Scrutinizing the place, Sam thought, “It’s fairly well kept, and business is solid. Moms, dads, kids, and managers - all sorts of people - bustle outside with their dinner. They are satisfied. The owner is, too, and boy do I wish I were the owner!”

Maybe Sam’s dream is impractical, but he has it, nonetheless, and he’s probably not alone. How about you? Do you ever think of owning your own chain restaurant, car shop, or retail store?

You can ascertain whether or not franchising is for you by asking some of the owners of your local franchises what the cons are. (Bring a notepad and pen.) To help you get started, here are a few as compared to a typical home business.

First, let’s compare average investment requirements. Franchise investments generally run from $60,000 to $500,000. This includes basic things like your land, building, machinery, and office equipment. But that’s still a lot of capital, especially in today’s financially difficult times.

A small but solid home-based business will cost you considerably less because you won’t have the added expenses of land and building. Start-up cost is typically between $1,500 and $3,000.

Second, let’s compare average operating expenses. In a franchise you will have to dole out money for employee payroll, payroll tax, workers compensation, insurance/inventory, liability insurance, utilities, freight/postage, ad valorem tax, licenses/permits, advertising, telephone, franchise fees, depreciation, and sales tax just to stay open for business.

In a home biz, your costs are significantly reduced but still extant. Remainders include liability insurance, utilities, telephone, advertising, and depreciation (e.g., office equipment).

Third, here are more things to keep in mind: Your gross franchising profit generally averages 30-40% with a net profit of around 5-10%. You will work at least 50 hours per week-closer to 70 and maybe even more. You shoulder 100% of the risk factor and leverage none of the compensation from others-that’s what you’re doing for your chain store. You will have tax advantages, but these will be offset by your unchangeable time commitment, need to supply products, and confinement to a fixed location as well as limited income potential which averages out to $35-85K.

With a good home biz, you can make more gross and net profits working a flexible schedule and leverage your income to unlimited potential.

The light turns green. As Sam pushes the accelerator, what would YOU tell him to do?
