What is Butterfly Marketing?

Surely Mike Filsaime used 'Butterfly Marketing' to promote 'Butterfly Marketing' Or at least that's what you would think. But from what I've found from little hints here and there that doesn't seem to be the case. So then what is it? What is 'Butterfly Marketing?' Well, first let me say for those that have been hearing about what a huge package it is, don't get size confused with content. I am not going to name names, but I have bought a number of high dollar packages from well known marketers to find that it took hours and hours and hours to find the 6 small pieces of information that was slightly unique and usable. Like I said, we don't know for a fact what 'Butterfly Marketing' is. But we can get a pretty good clue from studying the information from affiliates and from Mike's site. So let's get out our butterfly nets and see what we can catch. Okay if we watch the video on Mike's page where he talks about what he did to create a flow of traffic as an example for his seminar he was giving we can tell. 1. He took a quality product that he was selling, but that sales had slowed down on and he offered it for free. So we can see that we need our own product. whether it is a new one or one that has been around for awhile. 2. Not only did he offer the product for free, but he also let anybody else that wanted to, also offer it for free. Ideally this would be a membership type site. But it doesn't have to be. 3. It seems that while others are able to give the product away and can build their own list with your product, to actually download the product they have to enter your site and give there info. To get the product as a final step. Of course a membership site would automatically be set up in this way. 4. Then when people download the product or join the membership they get a one time offer. This is in the form of a thank you page. 5. The one time offer is a product that has a good conversion rate. And since it is a one time offer it's something that people are going to be able buy spontaneously without having to do a bunch of research and something that isn't over the top in cost. Say, under $100.00. 6. This one time offer is obviously connected to your affiliate program so not only can people use it to help build their list they can also make some good money. This is an excellent example of viral marketing and is a model that we should all try to follow. This seems to be the general concept and that's what 'Butterfly Marketing' appears to be to me. Now, that isn't all that that 'Butterfly Marketing' consists of. Mike also offers his plug and play website template software. This looks like an incredible tool. Here is what it will do. * Instant Home Page, Signup, Login, Lost Password, FAQ, And T.O.S. Pages * Onetime Offer After Signup * 2nd Onetime Offer After Signup * Members Area with: Account Info, Newsletter, Affiliate Stats, Make Money Pages, Contest Standings, and Logout. * Built In Affiliate Program with Custom Terms (Levels and Percentages, and JV Partners.) * Can Handle Split Pay Script for Affiliates or Regular Where you mass Pay Monthly. * Members Detailed Commission Stats And Affiliate Stats For Members. * Members Affiliate Promotion Tools Section with Affiliate Link ID's built in for, Tell-A-Friend, Email Letters, Safelist Letters, Ezine Ads, Articles, Press Release Copy, Blog Review Copy, Banners, Graphic Site Images, Top-Sponsor-Ads, Email Signatures, Forum Signatures, and Pop Up Code. * Members can Email downline feature.

You can add new pages to your site right thru Admin It certainly doesn't seem to be missing much and looks fantastic... Until you compare it to JVManager. Which seems to be pretty close to the same thing, except JVManager even offers more. Okay, on top of that Mike is giving some real nice bonuses. Some seem to be duplicates of what his plug and play software does. But he also includes some incredible informational products. It would have been really cool to be one of the first 10 to get his program. Just one of those bonuses would have been worth the investment. If you are wondering, I am in no way trying to shoot down Mike's product. There is no doubt in my mind that there is information in this package called 'Butterfly Marketing' that can make you tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars if you apply it. I just want you to consider the possibility of an alternative. No matter what direction you choose to take keep in mind that it will be only as successful as you make it. Look at Mike's testimonials some of these people applied the system and made it work. I promise that there are many times more people that will not make a single penny because they won't apply a single step that is given. Want to see what 'butterfly Marketing' is for sure? Then go to the sites of the people that offer testimonials. Watch what they do. And if it is a great system then believe me they will be using it.
