7FigureCode? Anyone ever used it/seen it?

I've got both. Eben's is a better course, but don't let that stop you from getting 7FC if it speaks to you.

It's free (well apart from the postage and packaging) so I ain't grumblin

Mike says it was a zero pitch fest in his video as well

When it first came out I got it and was happy with it.

As time went on I became less impressed and realized I was just on a high.

You might be able to get something out of it but it ain't what it had been made cracked up to be.

Most newbies will probably be impressed, though.

That's just my take. I know there are people who thought/think it's the bee's knees.

I think Eben's course is much better because it's more refreshing and it's just fun to listen to Eben talks.

As for 7FC, it has its own specialty and it teaches more about setting up your business. If you are a serious marketer (not someone who is looking to make $1,000 per month and then chirp about it), this is a must-have IMO.

And since it's free. You have nothing to lose.

Some of the gurus has been promoting this 7FC stuff to me... no harm since it's free...

But i think the main purpose is to build a huge list and then sell some other product
to you...

im planning to get it tomorrow providing the international shipping doesnt cripple me

if you opt in to mikes list at The7FigureCode - Yours FREE then you get one of the presentations for free, that should atleast set the standard of what to expect

I was at the original sold out event which was called the "2007 Figure Business" Workshop which took place in Long Island NY, January 2007.

You can see the original sales page here: (2007 Mike Filsaime Tom Beal 7 Figure Business Workshop).

The core of "The 7 Figure Code" is the recording of this event.

As I recall, in his presentation Mike Filsaime walks through the history of his business and went through the progress of his business essentially going from zero to his million dollar empire.

The information revealed included how they outsourced to how they hired, to how they 'created products - going right through from concepts to cash'... to how their products were brought to market.

For me, it was an all inspiring event which was attended by many of the big named marketers.

I would recommend that if you have ambitions of developing a successful online business, you have no hesitation to paying the small shipping and handling fee to get access to this product.

heres the original sales page The 7 Figure Code

Why would some really respected marketers give out some really good bonuses just for getting 7 figure code which is FREE if we get it through their link??
And they definitely get commission thats okay but what I don't get it is why would they give these bonuses out if we get something for free referred by them.
Whats in it for them If there is no forced continuity or anythin

Maddi:

Some recent offers have followed this pattern. The affiliates get a commission even for a free product because there are 2 or more cross-sells or upsells in the main product order area. Many include a monthly recurring fee, so the main marketer knows that he or she will make, say, $200 per person on average over their lifetime. He or she can then afford to pay a $100 commission for example, to affiliates for promoting a free product.

just a word of warning - prelaunch Mike said that you wouldn't be signed up for any continuity, but you actually are, a print newsletter and something else (forgotton sorry) you can actually take them out of your cart, but since he created scarcity around the product saying only 10,000 copies and a million people emailed about it or something, make sure you don't rush through the checkout process before checking whats in your cart...

Nothing is free! You pay $16 S&H to get the Spiral bound "report" which is supposedly valued at $297 but if you want the $1297 course with DVD's it is not free it is $97 and you get free S&H. So the pitch video is mis-leading as it says the home study course will be free with a "small" S&H charge. $97 is no small shipping charge. Honestly $20 would cover shipping on a box that size.

Let's make this clear what it is. It is a sham & false advertising.
The 7 Figure "CODE" is completely different from the 7 Figure Secrets.

7 Figure Secrets is a simple report of about 15 - 20 pages, that gives an overview & some stories. That's what you will end up paying $16 of shipping & handling for.

The "Advertising" via Emails stated that the "7 Figure Code" which is essentially a complete & full product was what was going to be given out for free for 10,000 people.
This is clearly bait & switch as well as false advertising.
Overall, what you are really paying for is the cost of a box being shipped to your house.

"Hi, this is Mike Filsaime along with Tom Beal, and welcome to the 7 Figure Secrets" says Filsaime.

Why has it suddenly changed to the 7 Figure Secrets?

Wasn't that the spiral bound thing he sold a while ago (along with the forced continuity to the "Best Magazine in the Universe" or whatever it was called). I thought the giveaway was for the 7 Figure Code and went to the site, credit card in hand ready to buy it...

However, when I saw the $97 price after being led to believe it was free (apart from S&H), I clicked back. Strange bait and switch there.

I have never had a straightforward offer from this "g u r u". Always a catch or a cleverly worded misleading statement.

I simply do not trust the company at all.

It reminds me of when I last caught an eel - it was one very slippery customer indeed.

you get the DVDs! i dunno if he ships it out to you or not, but the videos are in the members area, either way its worth the $20 shipping ($20 international for me, dunno about you guys)

btw theres also a 7 figure zone to confuse things more

Mario, PMing you now

Disappointed & Confused.

Email from Mike on 11 December 2009 with Title / Subject "how to ensure you get your free copy of The 7 Figure Code" that is going to be release on 15th December by paying a small S&H charges.

And when it is release today, The first thing I see is "The 7 Figure Secrets" Free with S&H charges for international customers $24 USD.

Then there is an up-sell of "Instant Affiliate Website & MarketingDotCom Monthly Digital Magazine" for ~$20 USD which you can cancel at anytime.

There is nothing free about this "The 7 Figure Code" yet,

Then there is another up-sell of "7 Figure Zone" monthly Membership at ~$20 USD.

Finally coming to the product itself the much hyped "The 7 Figure Code", but it is not free it is for a low price of $97 USD with S&H Free.

Looks like I have misunderstood the meaning of the word "Free Copy" from the original mail from Mike, May be i should update my Marketing Dictionary for this keyword.

Being a newbie, I think I have definitely learnt something from this GURU Sales letter, ie: how to write confusing sales pitch (or) should I say how to carefully write sales pitch that are not going to confuse customers......Or should I say am completely Confused.

guys, im only paying shipping and handling, but i have the videos streaming online (which ofcourse im downloading) no one else is seeing this

I am really perplexed by this so called product. It's annoying how much crap is out there these days. Ugh.

I got it last year. It was very basic info then and that was a year ago. Seriously
don't waste your time. You wont learn anything new in there that you can't find
here for free.

Here's how this whole ploy works in round figures...

He "sells" 10,000 of his product at a minimum of $20.

Lets say "profit from this is 50% i.e. $10 each "sale".

Profit so far equals $100,000

Lets say 1,000 people pay $97, thats another $97,000 less $7,000 costs equals $90,000.

Lets say 2,000 people pay his continuity in month one and the profit from that is $20 each.

That's another $40,000

Upsells, downsells, cross-sells and scam-sells nets another $100,000.

Conservatively $330,000 profit so far and I could be up to $1,000,000 out.

That's all in month 1.

But he has to give his buddies some of this.

Lots of less educated IM'ers stick around in months 2, 3 etc...

He also ends up with a database of say 8,000 who he knows are interested in IM and perhaps 1,000 or 2,000 in future products etc...

Not bad really, when the only downside is 40 or 50 pissed-off people on this thread.

I highly recommend this business model if your ethics allow it.

Mine don't and so I won't be getting a new car this week.

Mike Walker

P.S. - We will probably hear in another g u r u 's seminar next year, what a wonderful idea MF came up with etc...

I got 7 figure code on the Paydotcom upsell about a month back. Its pretty good, but its not up to the standard of other products that I have seen, such as mass control.

I personally will be getting the upsell as I think that $97 is a small price to pay for the pleasure of a nice fat box is the post and not having to sit at my PC to watch it.

Yes I know that I could download it etc, but I dont have the fastest internet in the world!

I am really annoying with so called "monthly digital newsletter" and have to cancel it myself, and I really don't see any options to disable or cancel the MDC at the sales page, although my place here is already 330am, I still try to keep myself awake with this sneaky sales process.

Disclaimer - for many years Jason Dinner worked for Mike Filsaime - and for all I know probably still does. He isn't quick to admit that though.

I'm no Mike Filsaime fanboy but people need to wake up and look at what they are doing.

It's not like the addons are hidden or difficult to see but I do understand it can be annoying.

Maybe the right thing to do, but not as clever, would be to have the extra stuff unchecked and only checked by a customer if they want it and not having to uncheck it if you don't.

If you want to take that stuff off just look at the top right hand of each box and you'll see a clickable link that says [ Remove From Cart ]

He isn't the only one who does this.

If you order CDs from BMG you'll get on the pick of the month thing and automatically get it - if you don't want it you have to manually fill out the card and tell them you don't want it and mail it otherwise you'll get it and be charged for it.

I hated that but this sort of thing happens all the time and it's not exactly "wrong" because it was the deal.

How many people have complained but it isn't the first time you complain about Mike Filsaime?

If he pisses you off this much then just stop getting anything with his name on it once and for all and end it already.

You sound like a hundred broken records going all at the same time - all the time.

Hey All,

Frankly, I'm not shocked at all the crap, garbage, complaining, and outright misinformation I'm seeing in this thread ... it's pretty typical of the WF.

Mike is providing exactly what he promised, the only reason for any confusion is that people are assuming things that aren't true, and getting pissed off because their assumptions aren't correct ...

It's almost as dumb as when my wife gets upset with me in real life, for something I did in one of her dreams ...

Mike said you'd be getting the 7 Figure Code in digital version, the 7 Figure Secrets report physically shipped to you, and a copy of his MDC newsletter shipped to you ... and that he'd be making that offer available for the price of shipping and handling, without forced continuity.

That's EXACTLY what he's doing. Anyone who says anything otherwise is just plain wrong ... and, there's no arguing that point.

Forced continuity is just that, it's forced ... meaning that you can not remove that option when order ... hence the word "forced". In this case, you can clearly remove any add-ons that would include continuity when you're in the checkout process.

Mike never promised to send you the 7 Figure Code on DVD's, that's a poor assumption made by people reading more into the offer than what's there ...

As for the 7 Figure Zone, that's another add-on, and again, it's NOT forced continuity.

For those saying ... but, but, but I'm getting a copy of his newsletter shipped to me ... that must mean I'm entered into some forced continuity program.

Um .. No.

Mike is simply including a copy of the newsletter, for free, regardless of whether or not you chose to join one of his continuity programs.

This is a MARKETING forum folks, and what Mike is doing is a great example of upsell, and bump marketing ... the very same thing that is responsible for trillions of dollars in additional revenue for some of the largest companies on the planet every year.

Are you pissed off when McDonald's asks if you'd like a drink with your order? Are you raging mad when Best Buy asks you if you'd like a USB cable to go with your printer?

If you're either too lazy, or too dense to read the order form before placing your order ... don't blame Mike. And if you're confused at what options you should choose, and don't send in a support ticket to get clarification before ordering ... again, don't blame Mike.

And some people wonder why he's leaving the "guru" market ...

I got the 7 figure code and even i took all offers off i was still charge the $15.99, they aren't shipping anything so i really don't know whta's the s/h charge for, but since I have access to the videos it worth the $15.99 so far there is very good information to start implementing it. I've watched the first 3 videos and there is way way good value out of them, maybe because I'm almost new to this OM but Hope to keep learning more with very video.
also this guys strategies Stephen C.. are just great and truly inspirational

lol. love seeing all the people complaining about this offer... when all they had to do was unsubscribe from his emails and never even consider another offer made by him (if they are not satisfied with his stuff).

also love the $16 shipping and handling for a book (can be printed and shipped for you for about $5).

classic stuff.

""Handling" is the part where this stuff actually gets printed, assembled, packaged and generally moved around by actual human beings until the postage is slapped on it and it's mailed. This stuff isn't materialized out of thin air"

Hi Mike,

Hope you're well.

Actually, 'handling' is usually only the warehousing costs. The printing and so on would normally be a production cost. People are upset because $15 is clearly too much for just shipping and the normal definition of handling.

By any normal standards, $15 to have online access to these videos is a great bargain, irrespective of what comes in the report and the free copy of the magazine. I don't understand the need for obfuscation.

I dont know about you guys, but I am just tired of getting a come on, and then a let down, enough is enough. Mike's stuff might be ok, but frankly, there are lots of alternatives, so you are not stuck with one guy. The point is this, this offer comes out and offers you a free product, valued at 1300, and when you go through the motions, it turns out you only get a product valued at 297, and even at that, you have to pay s&h, 20+ bucks or so. And again, it even might be worth it, I am not disputing that at all, but when I get treated this way, I would not buy it even if it was for a dollar. That is to say, I've lost my trust, and so if I dont trust the brains behind it, what else is there?

I admit I originally thought I was getting the hardcopy of the 7 Figure Code for just S&H. I'm not sure if that was poor communication on Mike's part or misunderstanding on mine. That said, I was fully expecting to pay around 50 bucks or more to get such a big DVD set shipped to the UK. I was also a little annoyed thinking, "Hello, this is the Internet, why can't you just make them available for download ..."

So, when I discovered I could get full access to the content and all it would cost me was $24 to have a couple of other bits shipped (presumably as a cost covering exercise) I was absolutely blown away.

My only annoyance with the sales flow was finding the upsells were automatically in my basket and had to be removed, rather than being offered and having to be added. Just a pet peeve since I then felt compelled to go back through the whole sales flow and check I hadn't committed to anything else.

I'm half way through the DVDs and I've been stunned with the level of detail offered by Mike and his team of speakers. There is so much stuff to take away and apply to my own business that my biggest danger is trying to do too much of it in one go, not too little.

If you're just starting out in business, whether online or off, then don't purchase this and expect to be given a checklist of steps to follow that will result in a 7 figure business. No one can do that for you, you have to do it for yourself.

However, if you're just starting out and want to learn the right mindset to approach this from, then you absolutely can't go wrong by watching this.

For anyone who has already built a five or six figure business, this is an absolute no brainer at $24 (less in the US I believe).

Cheers,

Andy

I know what he did in the prelaunch video saying it was completely free was a bit sneaky but still... The price you pay for what you get is still staggeringly cheap.

Just make sure you read EVERYTHING before you order and you should be fine.

Personally I'm skipping on this. I've got too much on at the moment and I haven't got time to wade through hours of video content no matter how good it is.

I've got a plan and I'm sticking with it

I think everybody should keep THIS in mind too - As marketers, one of the best and most effective methods guaranteed to win you over new "fans" er, customers, is to overwhelm them with so much FREE content you've so generously dispensed to them that they are COMPELLED with OBLIGATION (read Cialdini if nothing else) to give you some money of some kind- Then, when they LOVE your content, you've got fans, er, customers for life -

With that said, I will throw my opinionated hat into the ring and say that anyone who even begins to balk at paying $16.00 for this entire course, well, isn't it just KIND OF ludicrous? I have the entire 7 Figure set, have had it since '07, and I can say that it was and still is worth far more that the $497 I paid back then-

What I'm really getting at is, bottom line of the whole thing, everybody should be THROWING $16.00 at Mike just out of guilt for getting the Stephen Pierce session for free- Just my opinion, and I'm not going to comment on the upsell process, I personally had no confusion there but that's me-

I just wanted to address the content of the course itself, and basically help anyone make a no-brained educated decision to trade pesos for dollars here-

I think the REAL SHAME here is that, perception is everything, and since people are now paying $16.00 for this content that originally sold for $5,000, the perceived value will be extremely low at this point and everybody will probably just get through one or two videos, and then just let it sit on their 5 TB shelf lost in the ocean of their thousand other courses and collect the proverbial digital dust, never to be appreciated again-

has anyone received anything in the post from this yet? i signed up on the first day and am still waiting.. Ruchi

Just purchased. Will let you guys know. Despite of the fact that I don't like these all add to cart n remove from cart stuff (which apparently was not supposed to be there or may be I got it wrong in the promos) but the only reason i got it was John Thornhill's Bonus.
Every Big Marketer and his dog is promoting 7 figure code which turns out to be 7 figure secrets when you wanna get it and in the end you are also presented with 7 figure zone which is confusing if not misleading. Anyways I only got it because John Thornhill who I highly respect and was tempted to get the personalized bonuses he was offering otherwise I wouldn't have so much as clicked on the link in the email as it is enough to put you off track and information overload can be a big big problem.
I'm sure its gonna be really informative but will post a review after I've seen it.
Cheers

got a email today that it will be shipped on Monday the 28th, thats way too much of a delay considering I ordered on the 15th, I was expecting to have received it by now!

I've noticed that the video to sell the product has changed, im guessing they did get alot of complaints, before it was Mike and Tom speaking, now its just Mike and he makes clear that the DVDs are for illustration purposes only

No matter which way you look at it, its an amazing bargain! 7FC is all about building a buisness.

The first DVD is worth $1000's on its own, it will save me a fortune.

The hedgehog concept is fantastic, I've spend months jumping around and not getting stuck into my core buisness.

If you do get it, watch it. How many products to we all have that are collecting digital dust?

does anyone know what level it was intended for? as in newbie, intermediate or advanced?

thanks

The 7 Figure Code is worth every single bit of information on it, even though now Mike is giving it out for free recently. To bad to those who didn't get the chance to get the free product.

I found 7FC to be a great course, I got a copy when it first came out well worth it.

Thanks folks for all postings to let us know the pros and cons of this 7 figure code
this is the only way that we can find out if a product worth the risk or not
Good luck to all

I still haven't received anything through the post, I ordered on the 15th!!
