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

hotlinkz · 03-25-2009, 12:27 PM

Man...I gotta get me one of these "Meltdown Launches"!

Droopy Dawg · 03-25-2009, 12:37 PM

I tried ordering it a bunch of times... couldn't get to the site.

I was finally able to get to the order page, and I was just about to click the ORDER button when I realized... I have so much other stuff on my plate now... I wouldn't get to look at the script for a while. And I didn't want anything to derail the path that I've set for myself... so I decided to close the browser and stay focused on the task at hand.

The server issues didn't bother me... the more I think about it it may have been a marketing ploy by Mike... he may have pulled the plug on his server for a couple hours... hey its just my hunch I'm not pointing any fingers.

I'm not bothered by paying for support. I've been a network admninistrator and webdesigner for almost 10 years now... I understand the support aspect, and why you must pay for help.

For those that were able to get the script... I wish you all the best.

For those that decided not to get the script (for whatever reason)... good luck with your business ventures, but don't sit and wonder how successful your business would have been if you had gotten BFM... pay the 30 bucks for shipping and take it for a drive. We've all spent way more than $30 on bullcrap before that didn't work... so 30 bucks for a proven system is a no-brainer.

Enjoy your day folks... hell I might see if any are still available later today and put it on the "backburner". And maybe once I'm done I may give it a go.

Rupps · 03-25-2009, 12:39 PM

Wow a lot of angry comments from people who don't even know what the product is. Do your homework, just because it's free (or nearly) does not mean you need it.

The added cost for shipping should have kept some of the freebie seekers away, guess the hype was too much for that.

If you want a low-cost decent product without continuity or having to cancel, join the war room. Wait a minute, join it anyway. Also look at some of the really decent WSO's, you'll find a lot of great money makers that won't make you any money (due to your mindset).

Mike has come through and is giving everyone a chance at this and has not limited it to 5000 any more - yet people still complain.

There is no way someone would offer free support on a free product - imagine the cost involved in helping 5000 non-paying customers.

I absolutely hate these high profile product launches and I usually stay away. But I did my homework and knew what was being offered. I bought about 6pm with no hassles. Plus I want to try his continuity program to see if it has real value. I am ok with that.

The biggest problem I had is not the server problems - that's a given. I am not sure why anyone would think they can handle that type of load on their servers without problems - they should have known better.

No the real problem was that the ordering form did not work. There was a flaw in the script - all that should have been checked out to work ahead of time.

I commend Mike for this launch (even though I hate these things). People should learn from him as he is one of the top marketers. If you don't follow him, pick someone else that is as successful, which are people associated with him, what a coincidence.

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.

Hi, Ken

Thanks for the heads up. I have kept on trying today, and still no luck. Guess I'll just go ahead and resubmit a new order. I really don't want to miss out on this. Unlike many, I realize it's true value, even if I do have to get a programmer or whatever to help me with it.I also went through John Thornehill's site and am looking forward to his help with it.

Ok, thanks again Ken. And, good luck to all of you who APPLY this program!

Robert

ChrisRuane · 03-25-2009, 01:06 PM

Well it has certainly been a popular offer. There is no way Mike could offer free support to that many people. In fact, if he turned up at your house and personally sorted it out for you, someone, somewhere would have something else to moan about!

ronline · 03-25-2009, 01:22 PM

Ok, just incase one of the BM staff are still checking this thread, Mike, you mentioned being kind enough to allow a download link for very nice and grateful people/persons/ (person?)

I have purchased, can you tell me which hoops I need to jump through to get a link please?

Extenuating circumstances mean I have to ask...

Would be very much appreciated if this was possible.

AJ Silvers · 03-25-2009, 01:29 PM

Watching Mike's launch (or any of the big launches) is the closest thing I think you can get to a free lunch in the IM World.

You don't need to be a genius to work out how simple yet effective his strategy is.

1. Create a good product that solves a problem
2. Get a bunch of JV partners on board
3. Pre-release teaser content and case studies
4. Make the offer the best you can
5. Launch it

I agree with the comments about testing and as for server load balancing, on the back of an expected million dollar launch surely it is possible to throw a few grand at a highly available data centre cluster - if only for the first week when you know demand is going to spike.

Maybe the feeding frenzy of 100,000 people hitting refresh is part of the plan, me I'd be very happy if I got 5000 happy customers and little or no flames

Yes!!

You can even use PLR (Private Label Rights) or MRR (Master Resale Rights) products with
the Butterfly script.

In fact, I highly recommend you do EXACTLY that if you don't have your own product.

How much digital dust do you have stored away on your hard drive?

You can churn out butterfly sites if you want to.

You don't even need to create the content if you're not ready for that yet.

REHughes · 03-25-2009, 02:13 PM

Robert here again,

Ok! I finally got mine. had to go back and reorder, but it was well worth the effort.

I can't commend Mike enough for how he has handled this whole situation. I was watching as the flames were burning yesterday morn'

, and I gotta say, HE KEPT HIS CLASS! (KUDOS, MIKE! Thank you!) No one would listen to his instructions-IE: please don't try to order now--- then another whole horde would come on screen complaining their order wasn't going through! Man, I think I would probably have just signed off and went home and said forget it. But, Mike ain't me, and he didn't, and I'm GRATEFUL. Just hoping to someday get to actually work beside him and others of his caliber.

But, until then, I will sit happily here at home and build my own little BUTTERFLY SITES

with my new FREE BFM 2.0! Yipee!

Robert

James Blair · 03-25-2009, 03:00 PM

You know, I normally stay out of rants and such, but you guys should really quit bashing Mike. This guy is basically giving away butterfly marketing, and more importantly, the BFM Script software. I mean, it's free besides the shipping and handling and he was even very forthcoming about being automatically enrolled in his newsletter, which, by the way is so freaking cheap it is silly. Like 39 bucks a month. If that isn't value, frankly, I just don't know what you guys perceive value to be. The world isn't just going to be handed to you on some silver platter so forget it.

This is a great deal Mike and I for one very much appreciate it. I can't wait to put it to use and see what it can do for me.

Oh and FYI guys, he even says that you can order BFM 2.0 for just the shipping charge, and cancel the newsletter membership and never even be charged. A 2000 dollar powerhouse tool for 29 bucks shipping. NO BRAINER.

Anyway, sorry for that outburst I meant no harm... Just my opinion.

Thanks guys,

James B.

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!!!

Just wait til you find out he won't promote it for you and won't tell his top affiliates
to promote it to.

So much for moving the free line

Steadyon · 03-25-2009, 04:08 PM

Well that's just outrageous

Melford Bibens · 03-25-2009, 04:16 PM

I thought I missed it because everytime I ordered I got kicked out, but low and behold 10 minutes later I get an email saying it's on it's way.

God I hope I only get billed once for the shipping....

It's funny to me that these multi-millionaire web dude have launch problems, I would think that they'd have there hosting down to a science!

Hope it lives up to the hype.

I think the ordering form problem was a symptom of the server overload. The order form script couldn't access the database to even pull up the list of states or other functions it needed to complete it's task. Something he couldn't test for, and didn't anticipate.

dmag1 · 03-25-2009, 04:48 PM

Maybe somebody can chime in and comment on the actual product and
WHY it is supposedly so good. I've only just scratched the surface on it but my initial observation is that:

1. It is a relatively low grade web site creator, in terms of aesthetics (mediocre site tools)

2. The system behind it is just really a membersite site script, and not as robust as any others I've seen.

3. It does offer easy to use OTO, upsells, etc.

Aside from the DVDs with his marketing wisdom (unquestionable value), what makes the actual system so special? Seems none of the individual components are unique or top notch by themselves.

Let's get away from the normal rants and ridiculing one another, and ask a real question.

As far as the product itself, what's the big deal?

I'm just not seeing anything that can't be done better with existing tools.

Just sayin...

DEERFARMER · 03-25-2009, 04:56 PM

Mike suggest that we all get a merchant account. If we have a paypal account do we really need a merchant account??????

PeteNY · 03-25-2009, 05:34 PM

Can anyone tell me what the 7 Figure Zone is? I checked the box for it in my rush to try to order Butterfly Marketing. Will I be charged in the future for this part?

Thanks

That could be it. During the Ustream event it sounded like a problem with people from certain countries. I was getting the impression that the drop-down box was not filling in for those people which made it sound like a simple programming error.

I got an email receipt and a confirmation email. Once confirmed I was able to access the site and create a login. So look for the confirmation email and follow the steps to create your account and be prepared for a bunch of OTO's

Exactly. The server meltdown and some of the support issues that came afterwards gave me time to think about it, and I realized I have a few other projects I should put my time and money into and BFM probably wouldn't help with those (well, maybe one of them, but it wouldn't take me long to write a script that gives me a few of the more "basic" features I would have needed from BFM). I've seen the script in action and I think it's absolute genius, like I've already said I would have loved to get my hands on it, but realistically I don't need it right now and I had other things that ended up taking priority.

It's funny that Mike did make a comment (jokingly, I presume) on Twitter several days before the launch about "programming the server to crash" lol.. but that's not to say the crash was intentional, it could have very well been true that the server was simply overloaded and came to a halt. Of course I also saw a comment in the ustream chat that suggested it might have been intentional, someone said "You are now witnessing Mass Control."

I honestly doubt that anyone will need to pay the $300 for support. The people getting it "free" do still get access to the private forum where there are members who have been using the script since the original launch, I'm sure most of those people are quite familiar with installing and customizing it, so I think it shouldn't be too hard for anyone to find "third-party" support either free or for a lot less than $300.

Right and wrong.. lol

BFM has always had support for OTOs regardless of your payment processor (if you read the manuscript you'll see that it's an integral part of the whole "system"), and as far as I know that hasn't changed with 2.0. What you need Authorize.net for is the new "one-click OTO" technology Mike has included in the new version.

I just went through the same thing. I got an email yesterday saying it will be shipped in 10-14 days. Called my credit card company an hour ago and nothing was charged. So, I ordered again just now. Now, the order page says I have to wait for the new ones since the 5000 sold out. All well.

If I were you, I'd call your credit card company and order again.

Gary Simpson · 03-25-2009, 07:11 PM

Gee, I haven't posted here for years, mainly because of the whingeing and moaning and criticism and attack dog mentality of so many people who come here to complain and criticise about everything and everyone. However, I saw a link at John Thornhill's blog and was interested to see if anything had changed.

Sure doesn't look like it!

I watched Mike Filsaime's BM2.0 launch unfold at the prescribed time like 1000's of others. Sure, he had problems. Yes his servers and payment systems became overloaded. Yes, it was frustrating.

But to see the anger and animosity of some people in the live feed was, as usual, really disappointing. Then I heard Mike mumble something about how he was gonna ruin his day by coming to the Warrior Forum to read what people would be saying about him, or words to that effect.

I think Dean Holland summed it up pretty well when he said:

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 !"

Dean

Now, I'm not saying that EVERY person here is tarred with the same brush but...

... from the comments made, I think it gives a pretty darn good demarkation line between those who have a mentality of success versus those who are going to struggle big time with being successful at anything. Sorry to say this you negative ones but what you sow is what you will reap.

Mike Filsaime was trying to do something good for people with his launch. YES he IS a marketer. Yes he wants to make money too. But seriously, all you people whingeing about having to pay freight on a FREE product... for God's sake! And that is not to mention even that these units actually COST money to produce in the first place. If you bothered to look you would have seen all those boxes piled up in one of the pictures. They are PHYSICAL things. Physical things cost money to send. And don't forget the countless hours of research and development that goes into these products.

Yes, you have to pay for tech support. So what? If you don't want to do that then go figure it out yourself. It is a CHOICE. If you don't want the monthly newsletter then cancel it. That's a choice too.

OK, that will probably upset the attack dogs again but too bad. All I'm asking is why can't you look on the bright side of things instead of focussing on the dark side all the time? You might find that things will get a whole lot easier for you if you do that. Go and read Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich," or something.

superbiz · 03-25-2009, 09:38 PM

I ordered BM2 and the order went thru without a hitch. I did order it around 5.00pm yesterday. At 1.00pm EST yesterday, the site was down.

For all the guys worrying abt tech support and stuff... I suggest you order thru John Thornhill's affiliate link. He has a bonus offer which will take you thru getting your butterfly marketing site up and running.

Those who are finding the price high... I would say this...a decent functional script without bugs would cost around $100 or more. Of course BM2 is not going to have all the bells and whistles like the fantasos software ...also the design and layout is not tht grt too...but then the price difference between the two is at least over a thousand dollars.

There is a market demand for a good,functional, sales & affiliate management system at a cheap price. Looking around right now at the few available choices, I think this is a good deal for around 30 bucks.

So what I suggest to those who are planning to sell something online...if you do not have a decent script yet, get this piece of software..and although I have an affiliate link..I'd suggest you buy thru John's link...

Chill....

7digital · 03-25-2009, 11:14 PM

I was so excited on Tuesday, that I had my credit card ready at work. So I went to try and order it online on my lunch break and our work computers didn't allow that site to come up. I thought bummer.

Then when I got home at 5pm the site was down. Then I tried at 7pm. I put all my information in and then got a " My SQL error ." However all my card info was entered so I said I wasn't going to order it again, but I made sure that I wrote down there customer support website, TheCustomerHelpDesk.com . I just submitted a support ticket and now I'm waiting for a reply. I guess I'll be lucky to get a response this week!

Oh well, if I get it great, if not then it wasn't meant to be!

jasondinner · 03-25-2009, 11:40 PM

The script does everything I want my website to do to make the most money possible.

You can build your list on the front end, and sell stuff on the back end.

And your members get an affiliate link inside of their account so they can grow
your site for you.

Since January 1st, just 3 of my butterfly sites added 4117 subscribers to my list on complete autopilot.

In the right hands, it can be a monster profit wise.

Read the old salespage and check out all the REAL RESULTS Testimonials.

Butterfly Marketing - By Mike Filsaime

That pretty much sums it all up.

Yes I got it! It was a smooth transaction for me. Heck, $29.95 is a pretty good deal for a product like this, I don't care what evryone else says about this. You can easily cancel the monthly magazine if want, so it doesn't get any better than that.

Good grief.

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.

I have to agree with Mike here, you can't expect free support on a product he is giving away. I can't vouch for how easy to use it is as I haven't seen it myself, but but as Mike says, it is a business and support costs a lot of money. The only way to make money selling support is either charge by the hour/call or hope most people don't call for support. I just bought my parents each a new computer from HP, I put a 3 year support contract on each of them, which only cost $169. If even one thing happens you pretty much can consider they lost that $169 except for maybe a simple issue that can be solved in quick phone call.

Don't like the offer, don't use it.

RB · 03-26-2009, 12:18 AM

I think most people are just like me, the only way you learn how internet marketing usually works is by getting burned - if not monetarily it would be by not getting what you are promised. We are talking about a addictive disease here, much like substance abuse. This abuse comes from both ends, from yours and from the promoter.

I made another post about attending a conference that I was largely disappointed with. It seems we often have to take the bait hook, line, and sinker only to find out how much we already know.

At least you can get that much value out of the offer.

You don't need any additional payment accounts other than PayPal (as always make sure your PayPal account is verified etc.).

We've all heard the stories about getting shut down by PayPal. Even though you may have (and should have) pre-advised PayPal of your launch and anticipated volume of orders, it's wise to also have a back up account particularly if you expect to process a large number of transactions in a short time. This is especially so if your account's not used to seeing those volumes, such as during a new product launch.

The Butterfly Marketing Script 1.9x supports PayPal, ClickBank, 2Checkout and Authorize.net (I've not seen version 2.0 yet but I'm looking forward to receiving it).

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 Butterfly Marketing Script is "Template Driven", so you are pretty much free to make both the front end and the back end membership areas of your sites look anyway you want!!

.....

As you can imagine, Mike is a sharp, astute and highly driven guy (his success didn't just happen!). With regards to his background, as can be seen in his Bio, he gained an education in the New York Institute of Technology in Computer Science and Business Administration.

Mike actually has a number of full time programmers on his staff providing software development and maintenance as well as his own design team.

As with anything new and packed with features, there is a learning curve. I don't agree however that you 'need coding skills to pull it off'. The membership area has a number of videos that walks you through the script installation and building your site.

Hope this helps.

Just forward a copy of your receipt to Mike's helpdesk, and have them create an account for you.

From what I've seen and heard, it will support every payment processor the original BM script supported. Upsells will work exactly the same as they always did, with one exception. You'll need Authorize.net for the one-click upsells. That doesn't mean you can't still handle your upsells/OTOs with Paypal or Clickbank, it just means that if you handle them that way they'll work the way they always have and you won't be able to use them as one-click upsells.

The requirement to use Authorize.net for the one-click upsells is a technical limitation of the other payment processors, not the script. Authorize.net keeps a "payment profile" when you make your payment, so the one-click works by telling the payment gateway to bill that same profile without having to store your credit card info or force you to enter it again.

PS - we will produce more than 5000 units if needed
be since many had issues ordering. We will stay open
until Thursday to take orders, so everyone that orders
will get one if that is what I have to do.

Check your PM box. I just put an urgent message for your eyes only in there. It might save you some grief down the road.

I'm personally boggled by some of the responses here.

There's a lot in "guru land" that I often find distasteful, but some of the posts here leave me worried for a lot of people.

If you want the script it seems you have two choices.

1. Buy the thing for $1997
2. Pay a $30 shipping charge and take a continuity trial

I know which of those options I would take (and have taken via John Thornhill's link of course)

Mike is simply making an offer and the terms of this are very clear. It's then our choice whether to accept it or decline it.

Personally I think it's a complete no brainer.

Ross Kenny · 03-27-2009, 05:28 AM

I totally agree Lee. It was a total no brainer and I was lucky enough to get it through John Thornhill's link. He offered a great bonus!!!

As for the tech support I'm sure John will be there to help as he's set up a few successful Butterfly sites already...

Hi Everybody, Got the same problem here I tried 4times, across 2 days something with the buying fields did not work properly ended up giving up..

I wanted in because got some good ideas from Mike in the past with a great ROI, but this time I have to say that the buy process was not smooth at all unfortunately a loose-loose I really wanted to try the new BM2.0...

----------------Update finally got it thanks guys Marc------

ankur sharma · 03-27-2009, 03:09 PM

I also faced one problem. I wasnt able to write in "state" field. Then i went back , and selected country US and then changed it to my own country. It was allright after that. If it is working for 10k other people. It should work for you also. Try different browser like chrome and i hope you get your product.

By the way , how many days it will take for international folks?

I bought BM2 too. I think the number of whiners was a little overstated. Maybe a few whiners, but thousands of satisfied customers. At least, most of us are learning how to spell whiner. Still a few that spell it whinger? LOL

I tried ordering it a bunch of times... couldn't get to the site. I was finally able to get to the order page, and I was just about to click the ORDER button when I realized... I have so much other stuff on my plate now... I wouldn't get to look at the script for a while. And I didn't want anything to derail the path that I've set for myself... so I decided to close the browser and stay focused on the task at hand. The server issues didn't bother me... the more I think about it it may have been a marketing ploy by Mike... he may have pulled the plug on his server for a couple hours... hey its just my hunch I'm not pointing any fingers. I'm not bothered by paying for support. I've been a network admninistrator and webdesigner for almost 10 years now... I understand the support aspect, and why you must pay for help. For those that were able to get the script... I wish you all the best. For those that decided not to get the script (for whatever reason)... good luck with your business ventures, but don't sit and wonder how successful your business would have been if you had gotten BFM... pay the 30 bucks for shipping and take it for a drive. We've all spent way more than $30 on bullcrap before that didn't work... so 30 bucks for a proven system is a no-brainer. Enjoy your day folks... hell I might see if any are still available later today and put it on the "backburner". And maybe once I'm done I may give it a go.

Wow a lot of angry comments from people who don't even know what the product is. Do your homework, just because it's free (or nearly) does not mean you need it. The added cost for shipping should have kept some of the freebie seekers away, guess the hype was too much for that. If you want a low-cost decent product without continuity or having to cancel, join the war room. Wait a minute, join it anyway. Also look at some of the really decent WSO's, you'll find a lot of great money makers that won't make you any money (due to your mindset). Mike has come through and is giving everyone a chance at this and has not limited it to 5000 any more - yet people still complain. There is no way someone would offer free support on a free product - imagine the cost involved in helping 5000 non-paying customers. I absolutely hate these high profile product launches and I usually stay away. But I did my homework and knew what was being offered. I bought about 6pm with no hassles. Plus I want to try his continuity program to see if it has real value. I am ok with that. The biggest problem I had is not the server problems - that's a given. I am not sure why anyone would think they can handle that type of load on their servers without problems - they should have known better. No the real problem was that the ordering form did not work. There was a flaw in the script - all that should have been checked out to work ahead of time. I commend Mike for this launch (even though I hate these things). People should learn from him as he is one of the top marketers. If you don't follow him, pick someone else that is as successful, which are people associated with him, what a coincidence.

There is no way Mike could offer free support to that many people. In fact, if he turned up at your house and personally sorted it out for you, someone, somewhere would have something else to moan about!

Watching Mike's launch (or any of the big launches) is the closest thing I think you can get to a free lunch in the IM World. You don't need to be a genius to work out how simple yet effective his strategy is. 1. Create a good product that solves a problem 2. Get a bunch of JV partners on board 3. Pre-release teaser content and case studies 4. Make the offer the best you can 5. Launch it I agree with the comments about testing and as for server load balancing, on the back of an expected million dollar launch surely it is possible to throw a few grand at a highly available data centre cluster - if only for the first week when you know demand is going to spike. Maybe the feeding frenzy of 100,000 people hitting refresh is part of the plan, me I'd be very happy if I got 5000 happy customers and little or no flames ]

I finally got mine. had to go back and reorder, but it was well worth the effort. I can't commend Mike enough for how he has handled this whole situation. I was watching as the flames were burning yesterday morn', and I gotta say, HE KEPT HIS CLASS! (KUDOS, MIKE! Thank you!) No one would listen to his instructions-IE: please don't try to order now--- then another whole horde would come on screen complaining their order wasn't going through! Man, I think I would probably have just signed off and went home and said forget it. But, Mike ain't me, and he didn't, and I'm GRATEFUL. Just hoping to someday get to actually work beside him and others of his caliber. But, until then, I will sit happily here at home and build my own little BUTTERFLY SITES with my new FREE BFM 2.0!

You know, I normally stay out of rants and such, but you guys should really quit bashing Mike. This guy is basically giving away butterfly marketing, and more importantly, the BFM Script software. I mean, it's free besides the shipping and handling and he was even very forthcoming about being automatically enrolled in his newsletter, which, by the way is so freaking cheap it is silly. Like 39 bucks a month. If that isn't value, frankly, I just don't know what you guys perceive value to be. The world isn't just going to be handed to you on some silver platter so forget it. This is a great deal Mike and I for one very much appreciate it. I can't wait to put it to use and see what it can do for me. Oh and FYI guys, he even says that you can order BFM 2.0 for just the shipping charge, and cancel the newsletter membership and never even be charged. A 2000 dollar powerhouse tool for 29 bucks shipping. NO BRAINER. Anyway, sorry for that outburst I meant no harm... Just my opinion. Thanks guys, James B.

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...?? Maybe somebody can chime in and comment on the actual product and WHY it is supposedly so good. I've only just scratched the surface on it but my initial observation is that: 1. It is a relatively low grade web site creator, in terms of aesthetics (mediocre site tools) 2. The system behind it is just really a membersite site script, and not as robust as any others I've seen. 3. It does offer easy to use OTO, upsells, etc. Aside from the DVDs with his marketing wisdom (unquestionable value), what makes the actual system so special? Seems none of the individual components are unique or top notch by themselves. Let's get away from the normal rants and ridiculing one another, and ask a real question. As far as the product itself, what's the big deal? I'm just not seeing anything that can't be done better with existing tools. Just sayin...

superbiz Active Warrior War Room Member Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: St.Louis, USA Posts: 41 Thanks: 8 Thanked 4 Times in 4 Posts	Re: Did anyone get Butterfly Marketing 2 then...?? I ordered BM2 and the order went thru without a hitch. I did order it around 5.00pm yesterday. At 1.00pm EST yesterday, the site was down. For all the guys worrying abt tech support and stuff... I suggest you order thru John Thornhill's affiliate link. He has a bonus offer which will take you thru getting your butterfly marketing site up and running. Those who are finding the price high... I would say this...a decent functional script without bugs would cost around $100 or more. Of course BM2 is not going to have all the bells and whistles like the fantasos software ...also the design and layout is not tht grt too...but then the price difference between the two is at least over a thousand dollars. There is a market demand for a good,functional, sales & affiliate management system at a cheap price. Looking around right now at the few available choices, I think this is a good deal for around 30 bucks. So what I suggest to those who are planning to sell something online...if you do not have a decent script yet, get this piece of software..and although I have an affiliate link..I'd suggest you buy thru John's link... Chill....

I thought bummer. Then when I got home at 5pm the site was down. Then I tried at 7pm. I put all my information in and then got a " My SQL error ." However all my card info was entered so I said I wasn't going to order it again, but I made sure that I wrote down there customer support website, TheCustomerHelpDesk.com . I just submitted a support ticket and now I'm waiting for a reply. I guess I'll be lucky to get a response this week! Oh well, if I get it great, if not then it wasn't meant to be!

I think most people are just like me, the only way you learn how internet marketing usually works is by getting burned - if not monetarily it would be by not getting what you are promised. We are talking about a addictive disease here, much like substance abuse. This abuse comes from both ends, from yours and from the promoter. I made another post about attending a conference that I was largely disappointed with. It seems we often have to take the bait hook, line, and sinker only to find out how much we already know. At least you can get that much value out of the offer.
