So what is Streamline Funnel System (aka SFS)? In short, Paul's software captures the contact info for millions of people who are interested in a work at home opportunity, then turns around and markets Streamline Funnel System to them on your behalf. That's right, for you. You are buying the rights to the leads, and splitting the commissions with Paul's company.
Now, once those leads turn into paying customers, they become part of your SFS list and you can market other products and services to them. But the beauty of Streamline Funnel System -- assuming it works as advertised -- is that it creates business and profits for you, without you having to do anything. This is truly the "holy grail" of Internet marketing, if it really works as advertised. All you do is invest some money in buying the leads and let the system do the rest.
NOTE: You can also promote the program yourself, but this is not required.
The potential earnings from Streamline Funnel System system are nothing less than astonishing and amazing. Paul and his people are saying that this system will create full time and greater income simply by buying leads. For $39.96 per month, you get 10,000 leads that are directed to your Streamline Funnel System affiliate page. Now, the downside of the standard monthly allotment of 10K leads is that you are sharing a rotator with 24 others. The upside is that, according to Paul and Co. you should make very nice money even at this level. As "your" leads sign up, you get paid small bonus commissions. But the real money is to made from lead purchases. You split the lead purchase costs with Paul's company, and presuming this thing works ad advertised, you can look forward to steady income every month. After all, who wouldn't keep buying leads if they're making money, right?
Note that SFS is not MLM. You only get paid for packages bought by those you have personally sponsored. That being said, Paul has hinted that your "downline" will play a role in earnings. Perhaps he's planning on splitting extra leads based on size of downline. I don't know. What he has said is that SFS is not multi-level marketing and will never be, so as not to conflict with other popular MLM programs that don't allow distributors to be in more than one MLM at a time.
You can buy additional 10K lead packs at $99.99. SFS also has a "20K" and "40K" lead pack, which is actually a bit confusing and misleading at first. You get a discount for more "leads" purchased, but in point of fact you're really not getting more leads. Both the "20K" and "40K" lead packs are still just packs of 10,000 leads. The difference is with the 20K pack you get 2 exposures of your link, and with the 40K pack you get 4. Now, all marketers know that repeated exposures will generally increase overall sales. After all, why does McDonalds and WalMart blast us with ads every day? It's repetition, right? So, in theory, this repeated exposure should bring in many more members to your business. Again, I'm giving Paul and Co. the benefit of the doubt. Their beta-testers are sure enthusiastic about the Streamline Funnel System, so it would appear the schema does work.
CORRECTION: There was confusion regarding just how the leads work. I was misinformed. Here's the correct information:
For the basic lead package purchase of 10,000 leads (shared 25 ways), it's as stated: $39.96/mo. For the "stand alone" lead packages of 10K ($99), 20K ($180) and 40K ($370) you will actually get your link sent out to that number of people. Period. So, if you buy the 40K lead pack, you'll get forty thousand exposures of your link to hungry business-seekers!
Just color me cautious and doubly cynical. Even though Beach Bum Communications is profitable at this point, I haven't exactly seen a flood (or even a dribble) of new people since the system "went live." Until I do, I will continue to take a cautious "wait and see" approach.
