(oh! and for spending $92,000 on the software, the website looks like sh*t!)

An amazing, top-notch site would've only cost around a grand. See these guys:

Even if they created all of the back end pages and banners and more, and it was just $2k, do you think it would've been worth it?? hmmm....

Mike Dillard hit the nail on the head with "wake up", I wrote a blog post, about my personal experience with Paul Birdsall and one of his so called systems.

It's sad that this guy uses his talent to harvest leads. Yes That's right, the streamline funnel system was nothing more than a way to capture YOUR prospects into his Response Magic Account.

For those that sent their streamline funnel system link out to your list of subscribers, get ready to lose a few to Paul Birdsall, because HE Will blast them with his own affiliate links after the smoke settles.

Here's my blog post http://www.briandavis.ws/2009/06/paul-birdsall-streamline-funnel-system.html

Pretty Funny Stuff...

While reading these posts I received an email from Paul:

You have an update and personal message from Paul Birdsall in regards to the Streamline Funnel System...

Click this link to listen now...

The system flushes as of midnight eastern time July 10th, 2009 and we don't want you to miss out on what is already built below you during pre-launch.

Click here to become an full active member now:

Apparently he has decided to push everyone that was in pre-launch to pay up or be pushed out?

I would have to agree with Mike on this one!

7/9 : Just listened to Chris Pearson on the webinar on Streamline Funnel System.
It's certainly generating a lot of interest. 8000 paid members pre-launch. $334k in commissions
generated already--in pre-launch! This is groundbreaking!

To clarify: Yes, $9.99 to opt in, then 39.95 gets you in a rotation with
25 others to 10,000 double-opt in leads (They requested then confirmed
that you want info). These are fresh leads of those interested in network
marketing, affiliate programs, etc. from all over the internet. That's what
you're paying for. Then on those that sign up you get $15 of the 39.95.
So in an example you may get 3-5 sign ups a month, enough to have a
small income to start that will grow over the months.

Hey Larry, I was on the call tonight as well. My big question is why couldn't he have been forthright with all of us so we knew what to expect so there was no confusion. One of the main reasons for the 9.90 locking fee is to weed out those that are tire kickers and are willing to give up their credit card to make a purchase. This is a method I have seen with other funnel type of systems where you have to pay like a 50.00 application fee which you supposedly got back once you signed up or perhaps if you were weeded out you got it back too. Something like that. So I can understand but why couldn't Paul have been totally upfront with us to let us know why he was charging that 9.90 lock in fee.

About the double reimbursement if you don't make the 9.90 back. Well, Larry, perhaps you can clear that up for myself and the rest of us. I heard him explain it twice and still didn't understand how he was explaining it. What I understood was that we get 9.00 as a commission applied when we paid the 9.90. Then when we brought in our first personally sponsored down-line, either personally or through the 10,000 leads that you're put in the rotation for. If you get one sign-up from one of those two methods, then on your first sponsorship, you would get an additional 9.00 thus doubling your original 9.90 or close to it.
Larry, is that correct? what if after the 3 days, I didn't sponsor anyone, would I get that 9.00 and doubled with another 9.00? I didn't understand that part.

There are no guarantees on how many sign-ups you would get from the rotation of 10,000 leads you're sharing with 24 other people who paid the 39.96 like you did. But what was figured to be a safe number of sign-ups to personally get from the 10,000 rotating leads was about 3-5 sign-ups in the month which would give you a return commission of 45.00 - 75.00 @ 15.00 commission per 39.96 monthly sign-up. Then as long as those that signed up below you remained active paying the 39.96 each month, you would then get a recurring 15.00/month for those active personally sponsored down-line.

Then if one of your personally sponsored down-line purchased a leads package, you would get 50% of the cost of that lead package. Each person could buy 1 or more lead packages as often as they like. Once a week or once a month etc... and when they purchased you would get 50% when commissions were paid out.

Currently, they are paying out with paypal either once or twice a month and if you can't use paypal then you could have the commission check mailed to you. In the future, they are looking at paying out weekly or perhaps daily commission to a pin card which would be great. Everyone wants immediate commissions

I may have been frustrated with the lack of information during the pre-launch phase but it seems like one should be able to recoup their 39.96 monthly fee fairly easily with their system with doing very little work. One can still do the traditional web 2.0 methods of advertising/promoting of their link to generate personally sponsored downline.

If you want to find out more you can always go to their site and watch their video(s).

I would love to hear others thoughts and feedback on what they are experiencing with the system.
I got signed up early and none of my personally referred people appears to have signed up for the official launch. However, they have some pretty staggering numbers/percentages of those that actually signed up for the real deal. Like 8000 out of 38,000 signed up. That's like 21% and pretty incredible. I might give this opportunity a 2nd chance if I can get over the lack of information flow during pre-launch which appears to have created a lot of questions.

I'll keep you guys updated on what I find out.

Thanks,

I too just got off the webinar a half hour ago. If you feel your $9.99 was wasted, Paul Birdsall guarantees $20 back to you--that's the double your money back guarantee. The $9.99 eliminates the cheapest tire-kickers. If those that paid their $9.99 are swayed by the (admittedly kind of amateurish-looking) website and videos therein, they'll sign up for the $39.96/month subscription. If not, they can ask for their double-your-money refund. If they do want to try it out, the $39.96 entitles them to an affiliate website with a link and to participate in the rotator for 10,000 fresh leads. As someone said in an earlier post, just because you get a lead doesn't mean you'll get a buyer. If 2% of those 10,000 pay their $9.99 and then another 2% of those buys into the subscription for $39.96/month, your affiliate website earns you a share of all the money that is transacted. This has a residual effect as each month you're reaching out to another 10,000 more fresh leads. If you're really ambitious, you can buy 40,000 of them for $370 and your immediate upline gets paid $185. I'm sold on it to start with and will let you all know what comes of it in the near future. As of today, I've invested the $9.99, the $39.96, and $99.99 more. On my account summary, it shows that folks have already followed my lead and paid in like amounts and I've gotten almost all of my initial investment loaded into my account before the program has really launched.
As for the person that did the 10,000 times 10,000 "ponzi" math, it makes more sense to look at it as 10,000 x .02 x .02. That takes a whole lot longer to possess the whole world.

I have been completely had by Streamline funnel Sytem, paid my 9.99 three days ago and cannot get access.

Well, I would say the big boys are competing against one another with their affiliate programs right?

Who has the best. Decide for yourself, don't always follow the crowd.

Whose social network is this anyway??????

The web 3.0 too much to handle?

The webinar actually made complete sense, but thats all I'll say on that.

decide for yourself.

This may get deleted but oh well.

[Larry Weiss Contribution Level: 1]

Hey Jim,

My understanding is that the 9.00 "rebate" is a one time kickback once you
personally enroll in the system. I see that on my commissions already.

The commissions are straightforward: $15/39.95 sponsorship and 50% of any upgraded packages,
which are distinctive and value-added as they are exclusives to 10,000 leads (rather than in a rotator
with 24 others). So there is the possibility of monthly income and a possibility to add them to your business!

I like the fact that you need not upgrade to receive commissions on the upgrades.

Chris Pearson sounded quite sincere in wanting to get respectable commission to "us regular folks"
(my words) rather than big payouts to the few.

Good luck everyone!
