Global Cash Flow Network? More like Global Cash DRAIN Network!!!

This company says that they will personally train you to become a CMPs, (Certified Media Placement Specialist), where you can make thousands of dollars in just weeks. They say it's fool-proof, that it's so easy that a monkey could do it. The manual they give you has advise and actual templates on the who, what, where of placing ads for their company. So I thought 'I can do that!" and signed up.

3 months later it has become very clear that this opportunity' has been far less than profitable for me. I have been listing my websites and phone number on various free and paid classifieds on the internet, sending out postcards and emails, and even written and published a press release in favor of this company, to have only received $60 for my $2575.58 investment.

On 1-30-07 I paid the initial $299. +shipping to get started with the CMPs program. I was very excited about the program and I immediately, without receiving the package, started to advertise and, about two weeks later, on 2-20-07, signed up for the Ultimate Traffic System' for an additional $2106 +shipping. Once the manuals finally came in I was able to look them over and try a few other things out. I ordered some of their post cards which I had to pay $73.68 in stamps in order to mail, and put an advertisement on the internet that cost me $30.00. (I have receipts for all these charges!). I spent about 5 days a week, and about 4 hours each day looking for and placing new advertising, writing and publishing my own press releases, and researching how media placement works for 3 whole months. The only money that I have received back on this investment has been a $10.00 check on 2-7-07, (a referral bonus for referring myself), and a $50.00 check on 3-16-07, (another referral bonus for a unique' referral, whatever that means).

For all my time and efforts I have only gotten a $60 return in 3 months, to date. The guaruntee says that you need to give it 12 months' time, but the outcome so far has been VERY DISAPPOINTING. I was told when I signed up that if I would give this a try and made a good effort but found it to be a bad fit' that I could contact the company for a refund of my investment less the money I make', (I assume that to be the $60 I've received from the company). I refuse to take this venture any further due to the fact that in order to make just $60 I've had to spend over $2,500.00!!!

I have rencently checked my hit' status for both websites and they only have 92, and 98 hits each. If I'm to be getting the 1200 hits promised with the $2106 I paid for the Guaranteed Traffic' program then there is some serious catching up to do. Before I signed up I had about 35 hits on each site, all of which I generated through my own efforts! Since signing up with the program' I've only gotten about 60 hits on each site altogether in 2 months. I had that rate all on my own in the first month. And at this rate I will need nearly 40 months to get the traffic they promised!!! That is definitely NOT worth my time!!!

Do NOT sign up with this company! All it is is a pyramid scheme that is trussed up to look like a business opportunity. The truth is that you pay them to advertise their business. It should be the other way around! Why should I pay them over $2K to spread the news about their product when I only get a minute percentage of my investment back?! They should be paying me! Which, funny, enough, they say they do, but I haven't seen any real money. It's a scam!

Spoke to a Rep. Things Looking Up

AUTHOR: Sara - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, May 09, 2007

Yesterday I received a phone call from the GCFN support team in order to set up an appointment with their Quality Management team. I made the appointment and I really didn't expect anyone to call at the appointed time. But, only 8 minutes late, I got a call from Tyler in the Quality Management department and spent the next hour voicing my concerns and problems to him about their system.



I was told that the 'Ultimate Traffic Program' fees were non-refundable no matter what. But the guarantee states that if I don't have the guaranteed number of hits I paid for within 3 months, even if they are ONE short, they would re-run the program at no charge. It had been 3 months and 3 days since I signed up and I had just 234 hits total, (about 60 of which I had prior to signing up). That's about 7826 less than I paid for! So they are re-running that program for me but doubling the number of guaranteed hits plus another 20% for a total of 19,200 hits! That is pretty nice and I'm excited about that. (This number is for 12 months, not 3. But that is still 1600, or 800 per site, hits per month!)



Another concern I had was the fact that no one seemed to be accessing my affiliate sites. I had tried to get my Google's Adsense, which comes with the program, working on other sites/blogs not associated with GCFN, but I couldn't find the code which I was supposed to get about 45 days after signing up. It never arrived and so I couldn't get that residual income coming in. I have been told that I will receive that code via email sometime today. I am looking forward to setting up a blog separate form the GCFN field and adding my Adsense to them to see if I can make any money from that.



I told Tyler that he had been very helpful and that I planned on posting this update here. I am giving this company another try, (although I probably won't be marketing it as heavily as I had been. The guarantee says that you must try one new method a month for 12 months to be eligible for the refund. I've already tried 12+ methods so I just need to wait out the next 8 months before I can decide whether or not I want that refund.). I am giving the company some more time before I make my next move. I told Tyler I would give it another 3 months to see if I can still get some revenue out of this program. If not, by the time July comes around I will be making another attempt at getting my money back.



I hope this has been helpful to anyone who has been thinking about signing up with the Global Cash Flow Network team. My whole goal was to inform people about my experience, no to slander the company in any way.
