Legitimate Carbon Copy Pro Review: Pros & Cons-Why I Left
Finding an unbiased Carbon Copy Pro review is not an easy task. Most people who find this squidoo page are looking for the real scoop (pros and cons) about Carbon Copy Pro. They have seen a Carbon Copy Pro marketing website, possibly they have seen more than one, and before they pay an application fee or join CarbonCopyPro they want to find a legitimate Carbon Copy Pro review.
There are so many different online home businesses, so it makes sense to take your time and do your research before you choose which business or businesses will work best to help you achieve your goals.
There are so many different online home businesses, so it makes sense to take your time and do your research before you choose which business or businesses will work best to help you achieve your goals.
Finding a legitimate Carbon Copy Pro review is not easy...here's why.
Why is finding a legitimate Carbon Copy Pro review (or a legitimate review of any home business) so challenging? In all likelihood you started out in your favorite search engine, Google, Yahoo, MSN or one of the many others out there. Then you typed in Carbon Copy Pro or Carbon Copy Pro Review or Carbon Copy Pro reviews, or information about Carbon Copy Pro, or possibly even Carbon Copy Pro scam.Educated marketers know that people will do this, and so they use marketing strategies that will get them listed in the search engine results when people are doing their research. In fact, learning these marketing strategies yourself will have a greater impact on your success online than choosing the "right business." You will notice that most of the pages you will be directed to when searching for a Carbon Copy Pro review will fall into one of two categories.
And every Carbon Copy Pro review site will have its own agenda, and yes that includes me. There are two differences between this Carbon Copy Pro Review and most of the other Carbon Copy Pro Reviews you will read.
One, I will tell you up front what my agenda is, and two I will share both the pros and cons of the CarbonCopyPro system, including why I left, so that you can make an informed decision as to whether CarbonCopyPro is the right business for you.
The two cateogories that most reviews fall under are as follows...
First, you will find many Carbon Copy Pro Reviews written by current members of Carbon Copy Pro. These reviews are written to encourage people to join Carbon Copy Pro. According to the terms of service, Carbon Copy Pro members are not supposed to advertise in a way that encourages "sponsor shopping." The fact that sponsor shopping ads are not encouraged is a big plus for Carbon Copy Pro. Few companies take a strong stand on this issue, but some Carbon Copy Pro members do this type of advertising anyway. And even those who comply, still benefit by writing reviews which paint an overly optimistic biased picture of the Carbon Copy Pro system.
When their prospects are doing their research or due diligence, the more positive information about Carbon Copy Pro regardless of who is writing it,the better it is for all CarbonCopyPro members.
The second category of Carbon Copy Pro reviews are written by people in competitive businesses. These types of Carbon Copy Pro reviews or other home business reviews will generally trash Carbon Copy Pro (or whatever business is being reviewed) and then suggest the reviewer's competitive business as the best business choice for the reader.
My agenda is somewhere in between. I do market 2 direct sales businesses. And of course, I hope that some of the readers of this or any of my other reviews will read my reviews and then take a look at one or both of my other businesses.
But, I do not believe or claim that there is one perfect business that is "the best" for everyone. In fact, I am a huge proponent of multiple streams of income.
And, if you do choose to visit any of my websites , you will learn that I do not even claim that the direct sales industry is right for everyone looking to make money online. In fact, there are many ways to earn income online, and the direct sales model is absolutely not right, nor affordable for the majority.
What I have found is that there is a lot of hype and misinformation online giving people the impression that there is some simple easy magical system that will bring easy step by step success. There is a growing trend of people who are fed up by the hype and want to bring back some truth in advertising.
Some people believe that if you tell people the truth...that it takes work to make money online, and that there is no magic system...that you will not find anyone willing to get started with you. Some people believe that you need to tell people there is a simple easy way to make money or they will run for the hills. I believe that the reason there is such a high 90-97% failure rate in home businesses is that many people get started based on the hype of simple and easy. If they knew the truth going in, many people would choose not to get started. But is that a bad thing?
Shouldn't people have a right to know the truth before they commit to something?

Does the Carbon Copy Pro system really provide a turnkey solutions to solve the problems inherent in the direct sales business m
If you are looking for turnkey success....stop. If you want magic, go to Vegas.
According to the Carbon Copy Pro system, Carbon Copy Pro has eliminated all the problems inherent in direct sales.
While, all the claims are couched with disclaimers, the impression you get is that you can have success without having to call people, without having to sell anything (the Millionaire Mastermind Group closes all your sales...according to the system), and without needing internet marketing skills (just use the turnkey marketing solutions). You don't need to know how to create your own capture pages or write your own messages, because again the system takes care of all of this.
I actually prepared a report with the help of several other former Carbon Copy Pro members which goes into detail about the pros and cons of the CarbonCopyPro system. Get a printable version of my detailed 9 page Carbon Copy Pro Report here
But I will summarize the pros and cons and analyze the claims made by the system here.

The Pros and Cons of Using Replicated Capture Pages
Replicated Capture Pages versus Personal Branding
One of the benefits of using a system like Carbon Copy Pro is that you do not need to know how to create Capture pages. Instead, part of the Carbon Copy Pro system is that everyone uses pages created by the system. The benefit is that you have access to compelling capture pages and a compelling system created by expert copywriters.
It is human nature that people want to get started in business with someone who has already achieved success. When you are in Carbon Copy Pro, you get to use Jay Kubasek's story as if it is your own. The system tells a story that is designed to grab people's attention, and get them interested in the system. If you are looking for information about the Carbon Copy Pro system, you obviously are aware of how the system appears from the outside.
The copy tells a story of a turnkey system that is intended to create millionaires. It sounds like an
almost surefire way to make money. According to the system, there is no need for phone calls, no selling, no need to know how to market, no need to create websites, no need to do anything but pay to join, pay for turnkey marketing, and then find a way to spend the money you will be making on autopilot.
Look, if the system worked exactly as it is described, Carbon Copy Pro would be the best business on planet earth. If only it were that easy...but it's not.

Is Charging An Application Profitable Or Insane?
Greg De Mario gives a great and humorious illustration of Why you shouldn"t charge an application fee.
Is CarbonCopyPro Turn-Key System True or Hype?
Carbon copy boasts about their turn key system and ways to generate multiple streams of income. There are Pluses and minuses in this turn key system. If you have been looking for even a short time, you will find it very difficult to find an impartial Carbon Copy Pro ReviewsI absolutely DO NOT believe that CarbonCopyPro A SCAM but there is vital information that is left out that can be detremental to your wealth. I was with CarbonCopyPro for 8 months and want to give people an honest unbiased review so you can make an educated decision.
Obviously if you are a member you want to focas on the good points of the business but people have the right to see all sides. The good the bad the ugly.
I believe the sales copy makes it sound a lot better then what it really is. I know people have been successful with this system but what is going on the the majority of people that invest thousands of dollars to get started with this opportunity.
In this Carbon Copy Pro Review
I will be sharing one tiny part of their system about application fees. You will learn the good points and the bad points about charging application fees when coming to the carbon copy website.
Should you charge an application fee? The application fee has two purposes. One, it gives a source of revenue to help pay for the costs of marketing. The members are given half of the application fee revenues from application sales.
Two, it is supposed to help to separate the serious prospects from the "tire-kickers." Unlike the Reverse Funnel System, where you don't get anything for your application fee, CarbonCopyPro applicants receive a "free" DVD and workbook. This is a way to entise people a to submit applications. Is this effective? Yes and No.
Application sales do provide a tiny income stream; however, there are serious entrepreneurs out there who find the concept of an application fee crazy. One person put it like this. It's like going into a nice restaurant and being charge $15.00 to see a menu. Thats just nuts! Does this truly get rid of people that are not serious entrepreneurs?
I would never pay an application fee. When I began my search for an online business one of the first online direct sales opportunities I came to was Reverse Funnel. I just clicked away.
I have been a very successful entrepreneur all my adult life and was very committed to starting an online business. I was committed to spending the time ,40 plus hours a week, and I was prepaired to invest a lot on money to start my new online business. Was I a tire kicker because I didn't pay an application fee? Absolutely NOT!
You are loosing a lot of quality entrepreneurs by making them pay before they see what you are all about. Think about this, every single person that comes to your website is looking to make money online. What happens to those people who choose not to join you or that can't afford this business?
Its important to learn how to build revenue with your list. There are a lot ways you can make money with your list by recommending other ways to help them make money online. We go into detail about this in our Free "Before You Join guide" coming soon.
So you learn how to advertize invest your money and time, and then you are not allowed to actually share it with over 90% of the people you come to your initial capture page. Not the best business idea if you are concerned with your building your wealth.
There are other ways to "build wealth" with your list, more effective ways. Ways that do not anger a high percentage of your leads, who cannot figure out why you will not see what your business is.
As people get to know you through your emails with helpful information and advise, people will like you and trust you. They will be more likely to buy things from you. This won't happen when you aggravate them and send them impersonal messages or sales pitches.
So to sum things up you may be generating a tiny stream of income by charging application fees but don't you think you will be losing a lot more money over time by NOT helping those who choose not to join you and those who want to see what your business is about before paying anything.

- Trying to say something else to capture your address that is the goal of any marketers. Nobody never tells the real true. It's sad to see what people do transform some reality at their advantage.
