Wow, I’ve gotten so many questions about Butterfly Marketing, it’s amazing. I truly thought that everybody had heard everything there was to know about BFM and were sick to death of the subject. That wasn’t the case and I’m glad to answer any questions about it. I’ve answered several individual emails but thought I’d post the answers to the most frequently asked questions here.
Q: Is BFM for newbies?
A: If you had asked me this before I purchased the package, I would’ve said “defnitely not”. But after seeing the level of support being given to inexperienced marketers and seeing some of the success stories, again by newbies, I honestly feel that with the system and tools Mike is providing, anyone with the desire and willingness to work will succeed. Mike has challenged and encouraged advanced members to help out the newbies, and that’s exactly what has happened. The way that the community has rallied around people who know absolutely nothing has been amazing to see.
Now, having said that, I will say that some of these are advanced concepts, so the “newbie” has to be willing to work hard to overcome the learning curve. If the word “work” scares you, or if you’re looking for money to magically appear in your back account as a result of buying BFM, then please do not buy it.
Q: Can you give me your no BS opinion on this product and what makes it different from the rest?
A: When I first heard about this, I was determined not to buy it. I refused to get caught up in the hype and went out of my way not to learn anything about it. But somehow I ended up reading a chapter from the manuscript and found it so fascinating I couldn’t put it down. Reading it gave me lots of ideas, and I wanted to read the rest of it. I decided that just because something was hyped up to the heavens didn’t mean that it wasn’t a good product, and was no reason not to buy it.
So I bought it and joined the private community created for Butterfly Marketers. There is a wealth of information being shared in that forum that makes it almost worth the price of the package itself. What makes BFM different from others is that it’s a complete system and the level of support provided by the community and by Mike himself. He says, “Everyone will succeed. No one will be left behind. You have my word.”
Most of the time when you purchase one of these “home study” courses, you’re on your own. In this case, it’s a complete system. You get the roadmap telling what to do and all of the tools to do it. I’m just getting started, so although I have some great ideas in the works, I don’t have anything to point to (yet). But there are plenty of other success stories to study.
One well documented case is a guy named Keith, who you’ll meet on the forums. Six months ago he was working at a job he hated, had a pregnant wife and was in debt up to his eyeballs (his words). He took the BFM system and put up 2 sites. Now he’s making $15K per month. There are other success stories but that’s one I remember well.
Q: Does this course teach you where to look for niches and how to market them?
A: Yes, you’ll learn how to determine whether a niche will be profitable, and learn how to find them. There are many overlooked or underserved niches out there, just waiting for someone to come along tap into them.
Q: Will I learn how to drive traffic to my sites?
A: The basic concept is to make the sites viral, and to set them up so that the bulk of the traffic will be driven by the members themselves. So the traffic will grow automatically. Of course it won’t hurt
to promote it, but the way the sites are setup, your members will do it for you. Viral marketing is not new, of course, but this is a fresh new way of looking at it.
Another thing that’s not mentioned on the sales page is the training that Mike is making available. Not just short training audios and videos but real training via teleseminars and webinars. He keeps saying that “everyone that wanted success and is willing to work for it WILL have it.”
If I get any other questions, I’ll add them to this FAQ. In the meantime, if you’re so inclined, take a peek: http://www.sharonsays.com/bm The last time I looked, there was less than 40 packages left.
I truly believe that if you’re willing to do the work and apply the concepts, you will succed. And If you purchase BFM based on my recommendation, I will personally help you to get the most out of your package. Mind you, you still have to do the work and take action!
