Butterfly Marketing: Beyond the Hype
February 14, 2006Sharon Says check out Butterfly Marketing
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple months, you’ve probably heard about Butterfly Marketing. Here’s a product who was promoted a bit too well and as a result, turned off a lot of people because it was being shoved into their faces too much.
That’s how I felt, and at first I refused to even look at it. I’ve seen how these things work: lots of hype, big build up, a frenzy of buying, then… nothing. You get the product and feel like you’ve been duped. Great sales copy but like the Wizard of Oz, nothing behind the curtain.
So when I heard about Butterfly Marketing, that’s what I thought of it. Then I opened the door just a crack and took a look, kind of like “well, I’ll take a look but I’m not buying”.
After reading about it, seeing the proof of income video, and adding up everything that was included, I decided that Butterfly Marketing had been a victim of the hype machine, that there really was something unique and different about it.
So I took the plunge. Yes, I confess, I purchased it on January 31st and I’m very glad I did. The past two weeks have been fun and exciting. Here’s what happened: as soon as I purchased I got an email asking me to join a private forum for BFM owners, which I did. So did 900 other purchasers.
Overnight this thriving community sprang up and it’s totally dedicated to helping everyone get the best out of their packages. Newbies, intermediate and advanced marketers alike, people of all levels of expertise. There are some people who don’t even know what HTML means, and people are pitching in to help them get up to speed.
The other thing that’s been so surprising is all of the unadvertised bonuses that Mike (the creator of BFM) gave us. He has other sites that people actually pay to be a part of — $97, $147, and $250 memberships. And he’s giving all of us top level memberships in those sites. Sites like InstantBuzz and ListDotCom, which allow you to build an optin list. These memberships will give you a jump start on building your own list. He’s also giving us all of the products he’s ever created, and that’s a pretty long list. He says that “nobody will be left behind”, everyone who’s willing to do the work will succeed. It’s really unbelievable.
Of course the best thing is the BFM package itself, which tells you exactly what to do and includes all of the scripts and software you need to do it. To me, that’s what makes it different from all of the other products I’ve seen come and go. They might tell you what to do, but not how. Or give you some scripts, but you need a programmer to get them to work.
So I’ve been pretty busy the last couple weeks trying to grasp all of the concepts, getting to know others in the community, and brainstorming ideas for my first Butterfly Marketing sites. Stay tuned to this blog for the results.
I posting this now because some readers have asked why I didn’t promote Butterfly Marketing and they thought it was because I didn’t recommend it. That’s not the case, it’s just that I detest hype and the “in your face” emails that I got about this product. I figured that you had gotten them too, and I didn’t want to be part of the hype machine. I wanted to wait and see what was really behind the curtain.
But now that I’ve looked beyond the hype, I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you what I’ve learned so far. There’s an air of excitement and optimism on the forum that’s refreshing and contagious. As people are getting their packages, they’re reporting back and posting questions and others are jumping in to help. It’s such a positive thing and it’s only going to get better.
Like all big product launches, there were some glitches. It’s taken longer for people to get the package than they originally thought, especially those overseas. This is because everybody’s so excited that they want it to arrive overnight.
Another not so cool thing: some people actually asked for refunds for some of the products they had previously purchased that are now being given to us as bonuses, those memberships to ListDotCom and Mike’s other sites. Not nice. But there are always a few bad apples in any crowd of 900 people, that’s just life. But for the most part it’s a great community and getting better every day.
I’m really glad I looked beyond the hype and took the leap of faith. Mike really does overdeliver to the extreme. It’s really going to take my business to another level. Stay tuned…and if you haven’t taken a look, please do so now while the course is still available. (Of course there’s a money back gurantee.) Sharon Says check out Butterfly Marketing
