Did anyone get Butterfly Marketing 2 then...??

Leigh Burke · 03-24-2009, 06:47 PM

Hey folks,

I am in Australia. I got the pre-launch email at 4am (I set my alarm

) I tried to order once and it failed, then tried again and got a receipt. So fingers crossed the package arrives.

I am looking forward to implementing the script for 3 of my upcoming launches.

Leigh.

Leigh Burke · 03-24-2009, 06:48 PM

PS - where are you guys trying to log into - can somebody post a URL? Thanks!

I tried to order it again a little while ago and this time I received an email purchase receipt, the money came off my card, plus my login details worked

I'm wondering if your order may not have gone through properly like it looks my first one didn't?

I checked and no the payment is not showing.
I got an email saying I could expect to receive
it at your doorstepwithin the next 10 - 14 days.

lrjd · 03-24-2009, 07:03 PM

I'm going to try ordering again and see what happens.

Ross Kenny · 03-24-2009, 07:10 PM

It should all be ok now.. Mike has promised to keep the order page open for 2 days so don't rush.. Wait for the calm..!!

He's promised everyone a copy even if he has to order more than 5000 copies.

How many Butterfly Marketing sites are we going to see now in 2009/10.. Going to be crazy I'm sure

Rachel, you hit the nail on the head. I did like you said and everything worked fine. After I completed the first page then it went to the OTO page and then to the members area. Thanks alot for helping me out.

Ross Kenny · 03-24-2009, 07:28 PM

It'a all fine now.. It's been sorted.

adslgeek · 03-24-2009, 07:57 PM

Good god, what a load of old whiners!
It is free.
It was popular.
Deal with it.

Mike has a reputation in this industry that he has built up over many years, through putting out good content.

There are many rich people as a result from Mike and from Butterfly Marketing from what I have read in the forums and seen in the videos. And there is enough evidence from what I have seen that Butterfly marketing does work the first time around for a heap of people.

For all the whiners that are unhappy with receiving a $2000 product for $27 with no support then, go out think of a completely new system for promoting customers websites and online marketing, and pay for the development time out of your own pocket to build your own tools, setup relationships and a reputation with all the top marketers and then build up a JV partnership with the leaders in the industry, plan and execute from what I can see is a very succesful* product launch.

THEN GO AHEAD AND GIVE IT AWAY WITH FREE SHIPPING / HANDLING AND SUPPORT.
Let me know your domain name, and I will download it and then moan at your site cause it doesn't do X. It will be fun. :-)

Me being a little cynical, I partially suspect that Mike may have not been troubled that the servers / bandwidth failed as it really added to the drama, and buzzworthiness of the launch. I am not saying he did or didn't plan the meltdown, I am just saying that measuring a successful launch by buzz, signups and profile, the way it panned out wasn't that bad. Either way, 45,000 more people get access to software that we may not have had access to.

We (should) all be online marketers in here and I am sure most of us recognise all the use of common and succeful product launch strategies, we should be adult enough to understand what is going on, and I would hope admire it for the way it was handled.

I am going to go back and wait for my CD, and feel grateful for all that Mike has done for all of us. If it hadn't crashed, then 5000 people would be happy, and 50,000 would be whining in the forums cause they missed out.

Given that the page launching the site went down, I think it was prudent of Mike to post out a DVD pack to save impacts to the servers.

On behalf of the 40,000 people that now DO get butterfly marketing, Mike I am bloody happy and think what you have done is awesome. Keep up the great work.

Cheers,
ADSL geek

Justin Mandel · 03-24-2009, 08:29 PM

Can anyone explain what the tech support does? It seems contradictory to me, I sent a ticket into support because I don't get it...

And even though I will be eligible for Tech Support, this does not entitle me to custom program or any additional help other than what is already covered in the help videos and tech related threads in the private members forum

I understand they won't cover customization, but what are you paying for if what they help you with is already covered in the videos?

Zubair Zm · 03-24-2009, 08:47 PM

I tried at about 9.40 EST and site is live and easily accessible. It took me only few minutes to finish my transaction for shipping and handling payment and I was able to log in to the site immediately. Not bad in $29.95 (shipping and handling charges).

Man....

Thanks so much for posting that. I was reading through this series of posts and was shaking my head in disbelief of how UNGRATEFUL and assuming people can be.

I was JUST about to say something until I saw your post. Well said my man.

Of course this is a lesson in marketing. What a herd.

Geeze guys...you try doing what Mike has done. You may not agree with everything he does or how he does it...and that's ok. But some of the comments I've seen above are completely ridiculous.

edz007 · 03-24-2009, 09:07 PM

Hmm, I've got the receipt, got the email asking me to confirm the email, but I can't login. Anybody got the solution???

dmag1 · 03-24-2009, 09:27 PM

Just a couple of observations from someone who had never knowingly encountered Butterfly Marketing until a couple of days ago.

I come out of Joomla and Wordpress environments where aesthetics count. The BFM sites I've now seen (probably 20 of them) while researching BFM aren't very pretty. No design awards for any of them. Not a one. Granted, they may make money in their niche and that's fine.

Maybe I could get a designer to spiff up whatever BFM generates, I don't know. Proprietary site making software generally comes up short on looks because either numbers guys or geeks run the show. They never spend money on beautifying the product. This is the case with Site Build-It, XSitepro, Semiologic, and BFM. Just the way it is.

Mine have to do both, make some money and look decent.

So BFM probably won't work for me.

The other thing is that, in looking at the back end in the videos supplied during the launch campaign, it seems that aMember or any other membership script would offer a lot more functionality. However, I'm not sure if they provide as many OTO and upsell opportunities.

The technical downside is that Mike is not a software guy, he's a marketer who went out and paid for a coder or coders to develop the system. More than one person has said that it's not an easy system to use, and a person needs some coding skills to pull it off.

If you don't have those and the videos and forum don't get it all done for you, get ready to pay for Mike's $300 tech support.

HOWEVER, there may be a way for those who haven't bought it yet and are thinking of it. I got pitched by 7-8 marketers on this program, several with bonuses if I used their link. The one I think may be the most valuable is one I got from a search, a guy named John Thornhill in England, at this link:

The PlanetSMS Blog - Brought To You By John Thornhill

Thornhill offers a few items in a bonus package, and the most important is a video to show how to set up the system so it works right.

He's got several BFM sites and says he knows how to do it.

Here's the bottom line for me...

I may buy from Thornhill's link, and then hold him to his promise to help with setup.

If I do I'll try one site just to say I did, and that's probably it. What I hope to get from my $30 investment is Filsaime's marketing insight on the DVDs.

One low-level idea that gives only marginal improvement is worth more than 30 bucks.

What I'm risking is not a few dollars, but the hours I will invest in the DVDs. What if I spend 8-10 hours and come up dry? I think that's unlikely, given how many people here seem to respect the guy.

Just my .02.

Adeel_Chowdhry · 03-24-2009, 09:30 PM

Oh don't you just hate whiners.

Great launch, great marketing, great buzz, broken servers. I wish I had these problems

I think I ordered 2 by mistake due to several re tries over many hours (realized since I got two confirmation emails in serperate inboxes).

I'm sure someone on Mike's team is reading these posts so please don't penalize me for a duplicate order, but you guys are smart and know you'll be dealing with a lot more dups than just mine!

adeel

Dan Klatt · 03-24-2009, 09:51 PM

A few people have mentioned this, and I will confirm that Mike is one of the good guys, a marketer with integrity.

I bought actually before the first launch, and have made multiples of the investment. One copy I installed myself. The rest I had someone I found through a WSO (hint, an opportunity waiting to happen!) install.

Just one tip for people wondering whether they should buy or not:

The Butterfly Marketing manuscript by itself can easily be worth thousands to you in the way it helps you set up your affiliate program the way the top affiliate marketers need your program set up.

Even though I already have the earlier version, I appreciate the earlier posts about what's new in this version - worth upgrading for me.

Of course, for free, or $30, that takes away any question I had about upgrading.

(And some of the bonuses out there make it more attractive than using my own link - time to go shopping

.

Warmly,
Dan

Mary Laine · 03-24-2009, 09:52 PM

Yes, I saw that he had set up a chat area for the opening, and the people writing in were really complaining. There was one of Mikes workers there, Michelle, who they were really quite peeved with. Asked her to name who had made money with it, what was going on, Mike should be ashamed yadda yadda yadda.

stevenh512 · 03-24-2009, 10:52 PM

I really wanted to buy this, I've read the manuscript and would love to get my hands on the software that ties that whole method together, but there was something that really turned me off. It wasn't Mike, I have a lot of respect for him, and it wasn't the whole server meltdown thing either. It just seemed like with the whole server meltdown mess, some people were getting help while others weren't, and the people who weren't getting help were usually those of us who were already subscribed to the newsletter and wanted nothing more than the order links we were promised inside certain membership sites so that we could order without having to deal with a second subscription to the same newsletter. Again I don't blame Mike for this, and considering all the problems they were having I really don't blame his staff all that much either, but it was a little off-putting as a customer to feel like I had to beg for the privilege of sending more money. If it's ever relaunched at a price that's reasonable and affordable to me (the current price definitely meets both of those criteria) and there aren't so many server issues and support issues I have no doubt I'll buy it at that time, whether it's a physical package that gets shipped to me or a digital version (actually I kind of prefer a digital version, I read the whole manuscript on my laptop, and I think all those books, CDs and DVDs would just end up being more junk cluttering my workspace lol).

edit: Just want to add that I'm not blaming or bashing anybody, honestly I think Mike and his staff are top-notch most of the time. It was just a bad situation all around, and the support issues that came up kind of left a bad taste in my mouth (and I'm sure Mike's staff weren't trying to make things difficult, they had a lot of issues to take care of). I do applaud Mike for leaving the offer open for 48 hours and allowing more than 5000 people to get this incredible deal, I just couldn't bring myself to click the pay button this time.. lol

(and one more thing to add)

As long as you've gone through that affiliate's link before (for example, to get to the "early bird" squeeze page), you probably would have still been cookied for that affiliate if you followed Mike's link so it wouldn't have mattered. To be sure, you could have checked near the bottom of the page for your affiliate's name.

gabbydeb · 03-25-2009, 12:01 AM

Hello everyone,

I had a whole bunch of questions yesterday about BFM 2
that some very nice Warriors took the time to answer,
and as a result I ordered my package just a little 3:00
Mountain Time, and got through with no problem, now
I can't wait to get the package. In the members area
however, Mike has over delivered. There is one product
there that is worth way more than I paid for s/h of the
Butterfly Marketing Course, in my opinion.

Regards,
Debbie

The incredible hassle today because he won't pay for the right server to handle this kind of launch, and then to find out that it's not anywhere close to plug 'n' play -- with big buck tech support needed.

Don't think so.

Who needs a "free" product that will potentially cost a ton of money to get right?

Mike's a marketer and obviously a successful one, but he's not a software producer. I've seen a big review on this product -- a straight one -- and the guy said the software is difficult unless you know your stuff and can code in multiple formats like HTML, PHP, etc. Anybody else is going to get tagged for that $300 tech charge.

The question is, do you get hit for $300 once until it works, or $300 each time?

A real software company puts out plug 'n' play apps, or very close to it. Wordpress, Joomla, etc., are usable out of the box. This is the game Mike is in, making sites that sell.

Obviously, Joomla and WP don't offer the marketing stuff he's so good at.

Why can't there be one solution that's both easy and full of the features we need???

I would have rather paid for the right product, rather than get something that needs tech tweaks from the getgo.

Just another day in the IM world.

All I know is html and I managed to build several successful and profitable butterfly sites.

The only money I have spent on my butterfly sites is for graphics.

Everything else came free - especially all of the viral traffic.

Even if you do have to spend $300 to get tech support, at least you got some powerful software and marketing concepts for free.

I made $300 at least 200 times with just the OTOs from my Butterfly sites.

Plus there will be plenty of help from other members in the forum, so you'll be alright.

I'll probably be hanging out in there to help some peeps.

Hope this helps

Jason

Congrats, I'm sure you'll love it, I seriously would have bought it today but the whole meltdown situation kind of helped me make the decision to use that money for another project I have in mind that isn't really BFM related. If you haven't read the manuscript yet, do yourself a favor an download the digital version to read while you wait (it should have been given to you as a bonus if you signed up on the early bird list, or you can get it at getmysoftwarefree.com but I think you'd have to subscribe to the newsletter again.. lol). That alone is worth more than what you paid for the shipping and handling, it's not necessarily all fresh information but it's good information and the way it's put together makes it a pretty easy read.

As far as the other bonuses.. I own almost all of Mike's other software (either purchased, or as bonuses from other things I purchased), so I have to agree with you on that, most of Mike's software and services that I know he's included as unadvertised bonuses are worth a lot more than you paid for the BFM package if you don't have them already. Personally I couldn't live without Power Link Generator.. lol

Dennis-White · 03-25-2009, 01:47 AM

Yep, and I cant wait... Just got sent for it today looking really forward to it!

Aaron Elliott · 03-25-2009, 02:31 AM

ankur sharma · 03-25-2009, 02:32 AM

I tried for an hour , there were so many glitches. I think th whole crash thing is more hype. "Our servers got crashed" how cool is that? I filled all the payment page , then nothing in the next page. I did receive the email . But when i try to login , it said we couldnt find your username in our database.

P.S - This offer is for whole software for shipping cost. Am i right? If i can get software for $39 , i'll be happy.

John Thornhill · 03-25-2009, 03:50 AM

I wouldn't normally get involved in a thread like this but I can't believe some of the comments on here. I think if Mike was including $100 bills in with the package some people would still moan.

This one cracks me up.

Wow, not only do you want Mikes $1997 software for free you want him to pay to ship it to you.

The moaners will continue to moan while the rest of us will continue to use BFM to make money and build a list.

I have to go now, I have another $97 One Time Offer sale to withdraw from my PayPal account...

My take on this is that if you want the free software, then you should be prepared for one of the following:

To be able to get it working to your satisfaction yourself (i.e. learn PHP)
To have access to a techie who can help you for less money than Mike is charging for support
To pay the $300 for Mike's support and to be happy that you've saved $1697 on a product that you can use to massively increase your income!

Whatever you think of Mike Filsaime, he's running a business - not a charity. He even said that he's doing this to get us all to try his newsletter. I know that I saw his old one, which I wasn't impressed with, but am willing to take a look at this new one before I decide whether to cancel. Right now though, I've paid my shipping and have my finger poised over the "cancel" button...!

However, I took up this offer not for the continuity, but because I've been desperate to get hold of the BM script for a few projects that I'd been unable to implement without something like it, and couldn't justify the outlay for it for a site that wasn't core to my main business. Since I'm a techie though, I'm extremely happy to get it for just shipping and am confident in my own abilities to get it up and running.

Melkor · 03-25-2009, 04:08 AM

Oh, quite your whining about tech support pricing. You can download Red Hat (Fedora) for free or the Enterprise editions for pretty much nothing, but to actually make it work in your NOC you either spend a lot of time and money training your own people or you hire a consultant to get it done.

Which doesn't come cheap.

But the choice is yours - you spend the time, or you spend the money to have it done for you. Same choice Mike's giving you; and if you don't like his offer you can always post a job on eLance or Guru.com and see if you can find someone who a) is actually trained in how the script works and b) is willing to do tech support for you for less than Mike's charging.

It's your choice though. Mike's making an offer, to save you time in exchange for money. Is your money or your time worth more to you?

Ross Kenny · 03-25-2009, 05:45 AM

Well said John and I'm glad I bought through your link for all that tech help!!

johnng · 03-25-2009, 07:10 AM

I got my copy, now waiting for delivery. One thing for sure even if my order got screwed up, I am confident Mike will sort it out. I met the guide, he is genuine and his groups of people will eventually sort it out. My order ended in script error, but as soon as I Emailed, within minutes I was emailed back saying Mike knew of the problem and I would get my copy. It proved that even with Guru like Mike's stature, technology is just as unpredictable. I should know, I worked on computers since 1969 when I had to load a 16kbyte program - note 16kbyte not 16Meg Byte via a reel of paper tape 6 inches in diameter. One of the best trick was, it tended to stop with checksum error about 1/4 inch to complete loading! Wraaah! Good old days.

Scofz · 03-25-2009, 07:36 AM

DavidCarter · 03-25-2009, 07:40 AM

Like most people on the early bird list I got frustrated for an hour when I was unable to order it. But then when I saw Mike explaining everything on the live Ustream I realized all I had to do was be patient and come back later.

Which I did late last night, placed my order without any problems and now I'm looking forward to it arriving so I can learn how to use it and make some more money.

I got my copy through John Thornhill's link as well, it's funny how if you act and promote yourself in a likeable, honest no-bs manner, people will want to deal with you.

MeTellYou · 03-25-2009, 08:13 AM

I'm kind of considering buying it sometime in the future. I'd love to know more about it maybe if it's possible. if anyone would be so kind as to PM me with details pertaining to what's included, and their experience with, I would be very appreciative.

Also is there written material with the download.

Thanks,

Hey, Guys
I'm new to the forum here, but I had the same problem. Got an e-mail saying I could log in, but it says username invalid. I'm not concerned that Mike won't get the problem straightened out, just that I want to be sure that my order actually got through. My bank takes a few days to post. guess it's just a wait and see as I know Mike and his staff are blasted this morning again with all the problems.
Have a great day all.

I would suggest you read Mike Filsaime's post above with regards to support for the Butterfly Marketing Software. You wouldn't expect anyone who is generously providing you with FREE access to a valuable and potentially life changing course to also put on and pay for potentially tens of support staff (maybe for months on end) to answer questions that many people will ask because they couldn't be bothered to work through the free help videos would you? Remember this course normally sells for $1997!

As Mike Filsaime states in his post earlier in this thread, there are tons of help videos available in the members area. These are step-by-step walk through videos that takes you through the complete installation of the software script on your web server through to designing and creating your first homepage!

As any web designer/developer will tell you, even though you have WYSIWYG tools like Front Page and Dreamweaver for creating your web site, it's useful to have even a basic knowledge of HTML. The videos walks you through what you need to do to get your site up and running. You definately don't need to know PHP!

You mentioned Joomla but have you ever tried to set up and use Joomla? It has a steep learning curve! I have a commercial web site built with Joomla and it took me quite some time to get my head around it and get my site set up as I wanted it. And I had no walk-through help videos or technical support to call on. Where do you get free technical support from dedicated live persons for Joomla?

The Butterfly Marketing Software script is by no means perfect, but it does a great job of what it was designed for and it can be a life changing tool if you follow the strategies in the course and you take action and follow through as many has attested to.

As with everything in business, not every project you embark on will succeed. If you're committed to being successful, Butterfly Marketing can help you to get there. You have only to look at the many success stories.

I don't think I am going to buy it even though it's virtually free save for postage. It's just another system which is going to cloud my judgement. I suffer from far too much info as it is. I just want to settle down with PPC Kahuna and Gauher Chaudhry's PPC/CPA report due out on 31st of March. Not sure if Butterfly can help with CPA marketing...I very doubt it.

Have a great day all.

Did the email you received have the subject of "BUTTERFLYMARKETING.COM Customer Receipt/Purchase Confirmation"?

If not, then your order probably did not complete successfully.

I ordered last night, and got a different email, saying that I could log in, but ran into the same problem that you described.

I tried opening a trouble ticket, but got no response to it.

Finally, about 10 minutes ago, I gave up on waiting for a response, and just resubmitted the order.

This time, I got the email with the subject line above, the order went through fine, and I was able to log into the member's area.

Hope that helps.

dean_holland · 03-25-2009, 10:55 AM

O M G !

Are these people for real ? ! ? !

First off here was my experience....So I get the early bird email and dash off to get the script, to which I might add I am EXTREMELY amazed to get it free. I arrive at the page, the video starts but I immediately hit the buy button...

Then .... CRASH, nothing .... all of a sudden Im panicing like mad thinking Im gunna miss out.. Oh no Im not going to be one of the lucky 5000

And you know what ......

I then stopped and laughed to myself for allowing myself to be 'got at' by Mikes GENIUS marketing strategies !!

What Mike does and how he does it is just AMAZING !!!!

Yes he had issues, yes people couldnt get in as soon as first expected but SO WHAT ! Look at how it made you feel... do you wish your methods had people queing up with that feeling ?? I sure hope I can pull it off some day.

As for actually getting the BFM package, was it not VERY obvious that it was a physical product not a digital one ?? Dont know where some of you people had your heads stuck but I sure didnt see anything about it being digital and getting it right away ?!

I live in the UK and gotta wait like a month to get it, thats no problem to me as Im not at the stage of needing it but I know an amazing deal when I see one.

People have complained about having to try the newsletter ... did I imagine that Mike states in the video you can cancel it about 13 seconds after you pay for BFM postage ?? I thought it was quite clear, and even says it in black and white in the members area.

Some of you have moaned about the no support issue !! Heck what you expecting.... "Here you go sir use my toilet, can I wipe your ar$e for you ?" You know what sorry for being like that but it makes me mad, you have a $2000 package free !!!!! I am not techie in any way, Im guessing it wont cost mega bucks to outsource the set up of this thing so get over it peeps !

Me personally not only am I pleased and happy to get this deal for $40 ( Extra $10 to ship to UK ) but I think all of us folks on our way up in internet marketing can learn a hell of a lot from this launch. Its 1 I wont be forgetting for a long time !

Well done Mike, good job sir !

madison_avenue · 03-25-2009, 11:01 AM

It seemed that every guru under the sun was promoting it. My email was being bombarded in the last few days. I did not apply for it because with these programmes you seem to have to jump through so many hoops to finally get the product. You also have to watch out for certain "continuity packages" which can be fellow travellers. I did not have the time to go through with it all.

BJ Min · 03-25-2009, 11:38 AM

hey guys,

I got Mike's BF2.0 yesterday...before the official launch...
I read his manual (on pdf) and I thought it was awesome!

Currently, I make around $5,000 a month but I want to get
to the NEXT LEVEL of $10,000 or $100,000 a month...

and I think viral marketing is the new thing that can do that...instead of
trying to do everything yourself...have others market for you virally...

Much better than many other gurus point of view...i am already
a customer of mike filsaime (his virtual friend generator software)
and i love that too...

i really like his concept for buttefly marketing...viral marketing
and i look forward to implementing that in all my websites in the
future...

my only big thing is ...i'm not a very technical person so i might
be slow at putting this up because i know this is a software...

anybody have experience in setting up butterfly marketing &
is willing to set this up in the future - for hire?

PM me and let me know your rate...

thanks!

BJ Min

sublime-products · 03-25-2009, 11:43 AM

I had to have two goes at ordering it. First time I got confirmations, but couldn't log in. Mike said something on the Ustream that some orders had been treated as test orders.

The second time it worked and I have login access.

I promoted this to my existing subscriber list and the ones who've already gone through my link are getting it installed for free and I'm creating a custom video for them to show exactly what I did. That way they'll be able to do it themselves in the future, if they need to.

I have a feeling that, although tens of thousands of copies will be sold, not that many people will actually use it. It's always the same. People buy stuff and then it sits, getting dusty.

The people who are making the most noise about all this should remember one thing: nobody is forcing them to get BFM. If they don't like any part of the deal, just don't buy it. He made it clear before the launch that tech support would not be included in the price.

I can guarantee that there will be better deals available for tech support later on, than the $300 deal offered once you login to the member's area. They just won't be coming from Butterfly Marketing.

I had a public spat with Mike Filsaime about PayDotCom, but on this launch I'd have to say my only criticism is that they should have 'stress' tested the order process before launch.

I'll bet every penny I have that they will for the next launch!

Steadyon · 03-25-2009, 11:46 AM

I was amazed and disappointed that Mike hasn't actually paid me to try his product.

Sheesh....

He says he is giving it away for free but he isn't.

Firstly, I have to pay postage. What an absolute joke!!!

Then none of his guys will install it for free. Bad service hey?

They won't even build me a website nor make any sales for me! I just can't believe the lack of care.

Finally, to top it all off, I PERSONALLY have to watch the videos and actually DO some work MYSELF. I think this is completely over the top.

I thought they were going to move the free line all the way to my bank account!!!

Talking SERIOUSLY now, boys and girls, this is a good offer. I don't often say this about "guru's" but anyone who complains about what they are getting for just the cost of shipping and handling needs to give themselves a cold enema and stop talking out of their asses.

You owe it to yourself to give it an honest go. If you aren't technically minded then cough up the $300 for support, stop moaning, take some action and make some money.

If you aren't willing to invest a few hundred bucks on this or any other equally attractive offer, then don't moan and groan and post threads on this forum asking "how can I make some money online" like I see so often.

Get a life.

ROFLMAO ... I LIKE that one!

But seriously ... IF $30 ($40 if out of U.S.) is too much for people to invest in their online biz then ...

1 - DON'T order it if you don't think it will do anything for what you are doing or you have a thing about continuity programs.

2 - MAYBE, Just MAYBE, you should NOT be in biz at all either.

The free offer, the shipping/handling charge, and the "continuity" aspect of this offer IS in plain sight on the sales page and order page. As Mike F. has said, you can cancel ANYTIME.

I CANNOT believe that one can't get anything out of this $30-$40 investment.

SHEESH ...

Rick Wilson aka CorpRebel

P.S. And yes ... I DID order it yesterday and everything went thru fine. I've always been curious about the BFM script. A no-brainer for me. Even tho I haven't gotten the script yet, the info I've gotten on the site has already been worth MORE than $30 for me! ;-)

johnng · 03-25-2009, 12:06 PM

Well said. Some of these moaners will do very well only if they use their moaning energy into making money! Just joking!

I am also suprised by some of the comments (or am I ..)

What did disappoint me was all the comments on his vid text printer ...

pretty vile stuff, anyhoos server crashes and other problems ... I still managed to get a copy ...

Also via John Thornhill ;-)

Have a good day what ever you choose to do ;-)

Me too. And even better than the bonus and support is that he'll promote your BFM to his 50K list! Now that's a sweet freaking bonus.

People need to see opportunities vs. negativity. Plus hey if you get good at installing BFM you can create your own "how to" videos to sell.

It is free. It was popular. Deal with it. Mike has a reputation in this industry that he has built up over many years, through putting out good content. There are many rich people as a result from Mike and from Butterfly Marketing from what I have read in the forums and seen in the videos. And there is enough evidence from what I have seen that Butterfly marketing does work the first time around for a heap of people. For all the whiners that are unhappy with receiving a $2000 product for $27 with no support then, go out think of a completely new system for promoting customers websites and online marketing, and pay for the development time out of your own pocket to build your own tools, setup relationships and a reputation with all the top marketers and then build up a JV partnership with the leaders in the industry, plan and execute from what I can see is a very succesful* product launch. THEN GO AHEAD AND GIVE IT AWAY WITH FREE SHIPPING / HANDLING AND SUPPORT. Let me know your domain name, and I will download it and then moan at your site cause it doesn't do X. It will be fun. :-) Me being a little cynical, I partially suspect that Mike may have not been troubled that the servers / bandwidth failed as it really added to the drama, and buzzworthiness of the launch. I am not saying he did or didn't plan the meltdown, I am just saying that measuring a successful launch by buzz, signups and profile, the way it panned out wasn't that bad. Either way, 45,000 more people get access to software that we may not have had access to. We (should) all be online marketers in here and I am sure most of us recognise all the use of common and succeful product launch strategies, we should be adult enough to understand what is going on, and I would hope admire it for the way it was handled. I am going to go back and wait for my CD, and feel grateful for all that Mike has done for all of us. If it hadn't crashed, then 5000 people would be happy, and 50,000 would be whining in the forums cause they missed out. Given that the page launching the site went down, I think it was prudent of Mike to post out a DVD pack to save impacts to the servers. On behalf of the 40,000 people that now DO get butterfly marketing, Mike I am bloody happy and think what you have done is awesome. Keep up the great work. Cheers, ADSL geek

dmag1 Active Warrior Join Date: Jan 2009 Posts: 36 Thanks: 0 Thanked 2 Times in 2 Posts	Re: Did anyone get Butterfly Marketing 2 then...?? Just a couple of observations from someone who had never knowingly encountered Butterfly Marketing until a couple of days ago. I come out of Joomla and Wordpress environments where aesthetics count. The BFM sites I've now seen (probably 20 of them) while researching BFM aren't very pretty. No design awards for any of them. Not a one. Granted, they may make money in their niche and that's fine. Maybe I could get a designer to spiff up whatever BFM generates, I don't know. Proprietary site making software generally comes up short on looks because either numbers guys or geeks run the show. They never spend money on beautifying the product. This is the case with Site Build-It, XSitepro, Semiologic, and BFM. Just the way it is. Mine have to do both, make some money and look decent. So BFM probably won't work for me. The other thing is that, in looking at the back end in the videos supplied during the launch campaign, it seems that aMember or any other membership script would offer a lot more functionality. However, I'm not sure if they provide as many OTO and upsell opportunities. The technical downside is that Mike is not a software guy, he's a marketer who went out and paid for a coder or coders to develop the system. More than one person has said that it's not an easy system to use, and a person needs some coding skills to pull it off. If you don't have those and the videos and forum don't get it all done for you, get ready to pay for Mike's $300 tech support. HOWEVER, there may be a way for those who haven't bought it yet and are thinking of it. I got pitched by 7-8 marketers on this program, several with bonuses if I used their link. The one I think may be the most valuable is one I got from a search, a guy named John Thornhill in England, at this link: The PlanetSMS Blog - Brought To You By John Thornhill Thornhill offers a few items in a bonus package, and the most important is a video to show how to set up the system so it works right. He's got several BFM sites and says he knows how to do it. Here's the bottom line for me... I may buy from Thornhill's link, and then hold him to his promise to help with setup. If I do I'll try one site just to say I did, and that's probably it. What I hope to get from my $30 investment is Filsaime's marketing insight on the DVDs. One low-level idea that gives only marginal improvement is worth more than 30 bucks. What I'm risking is not a few dollars, but the hours I will invest in the DVDs. What if I spend 8-10 hours and come up dry? I think that's unlikely, given how many people here seem to respect the guy. Just my .02.

A few people have mentioned this, and I will confirm that Mike is one of the good guys, a marketer with integrity. I bought actually before the first launch, and have made multiples of the investment. One copy I installed myself. The rest I had someone I found through a WSO (hint, an opportunity waiting to happen!) install. Just one tip for people wondering whether they should buy or not: The Butterfly Marketing manuscript by itself can easily be worth thousands to you in the way it helps you set up your affiliate program the way the top affiliate marketers need your program set up. Even though I already have the earlier version, I appreciate the earlier posts about what's new in this version - worth upgrading for me. Of course, for free, or $30, that takes away any question I had about upgrading. (And some of the bonuses out there make it more attractive than using my own link - time to go shopping . Warmly, Dan

You can download Red Hat (Fedora) for free or the Enterprise editions for pretty much nothing, but to actually make it work in your NOC you either spend a lot of time and money training your own people or you hire a consultant to get it done. Which doesn't come cheap. But the choice is yours - you spend the time, or you spend the money to have it done for you. Same choice Mike's giving you; and if you don't like his offer you can always post a job on eLance or Guru.com and see if you can find someone who a) is actually trained in how the script works and b) is willing to do tech support for you for less than Mike's charging. It's your choice though. Mike's making an offer, to save you time in exchange for money. Is your money or your time worth more to you?

It proved that even with Guru like Mike's stature, technology is just as unpredictable. I should know, I worked on computers since 1969 when I had to load a 16kbyte program - note 16kbyte not 16Meg Byte via a reel of paper tape 6 inches in diameter. One of the best trick was, it tended to stop with checksum error about 1/4 inch to complete loading! Wraaah! Good old days.

Like most people on the early bird list I got frustrated for an hour when I was unable to order it. But then when I saw Mike explaining everything on the live Ustream I realized all I had to do was be patient and come back later. Which I did late last night, placed my order without any problems and now I'm looking forward to it arriving so I can learn how to use it and make some more money. I got my copy through John Thornhill's link as well, it's funny how if you act and promote yourself in a likeable, honest no-bs manner, people will want to deal with you.

Hey, Guys I'm new to the forum here, but I had the same problem. Got an e-mail saying I could log in, but it says username invalid. I'm not concerned that Mike won't get the problem straightened out, just that I want to be sure that my order actually got through. My bank takes a few days to post. guess it's just a wait and see as I know Mike and his staff are blasted this morning again with all the problems. Have a great day all. Robert

I don't think I am going to buy it even though it's virtually free save for postage. It's just another system which is going to cloud my judgement. I suffer from far too much info as it is. I just want to settle down with PPC Kahuna and Gauher Chaudhry's PPC/CPA report due out on 31st of March. Not sure if Butterfly can help with CPA marketing...I very doubt it.

O M G ! Are these people for real ? ! ? ! First off here was my experience....So I get the early bird email and dash off to get the script, to which I might add I am EXTREMELY amazed to get it free. I arrive at the page, the video starts but I immediately hit the buy button... Then .... CRASH, nothing .... all of a sudden Im panicing like mad thinking Im gunna miss out.. Oh no Im not going to be one of the lucky 5000 And you know what ...... I then stopped and laughed to myself for allowing myself to be 'got at' by Mikes GENIUS marketing strategies !! What Mike does and how he does it is just AMAZING !!!! Yes he had issues, yes people couldnt get in as soon as first expected but SO WHAT ! Look at how it made you feel... do you wish your methods had people queing up with that feeling ?? I sure hope I can pull it off some day. As for actually getting the BFM package, was it not VERY obvious that it was a physical product not a digital one ?? Dont know where some of you people had your heads stuck but I sure didnt see anything about it being digital and getting it right away ?! I live in the UK and gotta wait like a month to get it, thats no problem to me as Im not at the stage of needing it but I know an amazing deal when I see one. People have complained about having to try the newsletter ... did I imagine that Mike states in the video you can cancel it about 13 seconds after you pay for BFM postage ?? I thought it was quite clear, and even says it in black and white in the members area. Some of you have moaned about the no support issue !! Heck what you expecting.... "Here you go sir use my toilet, can I wipe your ar$e for you ?" You know what sorry for being like that but it makes me mad, you have a $2000 package free !!!!! I am not techie in any way, Im guessing it wont cost mega bucks to outsource the set up of this thing so get over it peeps ! Me personally not only am I pleased and happy to get this deal for $40 ( Extra $10 to ship to UK ) but I think all of us folks on our way up in internet marketing can learn a hell of a lot from this launch. Its 1 I wont be forgetting for a long time ! Well done Mike, good job sir ! Dean

Posts: 574 Thanks: 172 Thanked 46 Times in 41 Posts	Re: Did anyone get Butterfly Marketing 2 then...?? It seemed that every guru under the sun was promoting it. My email was being bombarded in the last few days. I did not apply for it because with these programmes you seem to have to jump through so many hoops to finally get the product. You also have to watch out for certain "continuity packages" which can be fellow travellers. I did not have the time to go through with it all.

I read his manual (on pdf) and I thought it was awesome! Currently, I make around $5,000 a month but I want to get to the NEXT LEVEL of $10,000 or $100,000 a month... and I think viral marketing is the new thing that can do that...instead of trying to do everything yourself...have others market for you virally... Much better than many other gurus point of view...i am already a customer of mike filsaime (his virtual friend generator software) and i love that too... i really like his concept for buttefly marketing...viral marketing and i look forward to implementing that in all my websites in the future... my only big thing is ...i'm not a very technical person so i might be slow at putting this up because i know this is a software... anybody have experience in setting up butterfly marketing & is willing to set this up in the future - for hire? PM me and let me know your rate... thanks! BJ Min

sublime-products HyperActive Warrior Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: United Kingdom. Posts: 424 Thanks: 1 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Re: Did anyone get Butterfly Marketing 2 then...?? I had to have two goes at ordering it. First time I got confirmations, but couldn't log in. Mike said something on the Ustream that some orders had been treated as test orders. The second time it worked and I have login access. I promoted this to my existing subscriber list and the ones who've already gone through my link are getting it installed for free and I'm creating a custom video for them to show exactly what I did. That way they'll be able to do it themselves in the future, if they need to. I have a feeling that, although tens of thousands of copies will be sold, not that many people will actually use it. It's always the same. People buy stuff and then it sits, getting dusty. The people who are making the most noise about all this should remember one thing: nobody is forcing them to get BFM. If they don't like any part of the deal, just don't buy it. He made it clear before the launch that tech support would not be included in the price. I can guarantee that there will be better deals available for tech support later on, than the $300 deal offered once you login to the member's area. They just won't be coming from Butterfly Marketing. I had a public spat with Mike Filsaime about PayDotCom, but on this launch I'd have to say my only criticism is that they should have 'stress' tested the order process before launch. I'll bet every penny I have that they will for the next launch! Amin

I was amazed and disappointed that Mike hasn't actually paid me to try his product. Sheesh.... He says he is giving it away for free but he isn't. Firstly, I have to pay postage. What an absolute joke!!! Then none of his guys will install it for free. Bad service hey? They won't even build me a website nor make any sales for me! I just can't believe the lack of care. Finally, to top it all off, I PERSONALLY have to watch the videos and actually DO some work MYSELF. I think this is completely over the top. I thought they were going to move the free line all the way to my bank account!!! Talking SERIOUSLY now, boys and girls, this is a good offer. I don't often say this about "guru's" but anyone who complains about what they are getting for just the cost of shipping and handling needs to give themselves a cold enema and stop talking out of their asses. You owe it to yourself to give it an honest go. If you aren't technically minded then cough up the $300 for support, stop moaning, take some action and make some money. If you aren't willing to invest a few hundred bucks on this or any other equally attractive offer, then don't moan and groan and post threads on this forum asking "how can I make some money online" like I see so often. Get a life.
