Thoughts on FBcash 2.0?

Hi Tony

FB Cash is a must have for anyone considering harnessing the power of FB in both offline arena and online as well. Sam doesn't leave anything out in the training videos. To answer your question - the course covers fan page creation and marketing and also the use of applications. I haven't seen anything out there currently which provides training on those strategies combined.

The other thing to note is that, Sam talks the walk as well. He is just not a product creator...he practices what he teaches to his students with his own offline business as well.

Highly recommended.

I did also see that it says it has nothing to do with fan pages but creating fan pages or "business pages" as they are also referred to in the training is integrated.

The entirety of FBCash2 doesn't revolve around profiting from fan pages, but the creation of them is part of the process.

Hey Guys,

Welcome to all those who have jumped into FB Cash 2.0 so far. I hope you enjoying it and if you need anything you know you can get me on the forum inside or email me

I thought id clarify whats in the package...

When we listed FB Cash 2.0 on warrior it was originally a fan page system for offline clients. We then decided to combine FB Cash 2.0 with a new software we have been working with to complement that course. Members now have another option that's working really well right now with Facebook Marketing to local businesses.

Hope this helps. If you have any questions feel free to post.

There are 3 upsells and two downsells inside FBcash 2.0. as posted by a buyer. See the origianal sales thread on WF.

Can you break down your Facebook app modelue in terms of their functions?

Hi Sam

I watched the video and tbh I couldn't really see how a local business can benefit from these apps? How are both examples in the video being monetized? Do you have an example of a local business using an app to gain more clients? In the sales video a guy called Mo Goulet is supposedly making $20,000 per month, are you able to give us an example of how his clients are benefiting please?

I want to make money from these apps but only if they truly add value to my local business clients.

Many Thanks

Steve

Sam,

I've been getting more involved in FB Fan Pages for businesses lately and this definitely is something that is in the scope of what I'd like to offer to my clients. But as Steve Wise has said above, I too would like to see how this can be applied to my local businesses.

Any of you guys who have bought this made any sales yet?

It turned me off when I got emails saying it was $38. Then on Webinar he says $98.
I asked and he says $38 one not as poerful.
Turned off.

still not sure... does FBCash2 come with the application generator? If not, is it an upsell? If yes, how much more?

Sam,
Does FB Cash 2.0 review and/or train you on using the iFrames or FBML method of developing a Fanpage?

What does the upsell consist of and how much?

FB Cash is the most real and authentic teaching on Facebook that there is.

These guys have set the bar HIGH and deliver insane value for so little money.

Coincidentally enough, I've know TC Bradley (the guy he points out in the video who'd made some $ with it) for years. We've partnered, JV'd, etc., in the real estate niche.

I'll give TC a call or email and see what he has to say.

Hello Everyone,

I attended a Facebook apps webinar hosted by Todd Gross. I have not had time to start the course or generate applications as of yet.

I paid $247 for the FB 2.0 course which included 4 FB applications and an iFrame Fan Page Generator.


-Every visitor that goes through one of your applications will automatically “Like” the Fan Pages they are hosted on.


-Application #1 - Viral Locker Generator is sort of like Groupon. You can create an application and offer a free drink or appetizer and/or another incentive for individuals who join the application and share it with their friends.



Each time the application is shared, a notification (I believe per the webinar) will post on the individuals’ feeds and/or wall. This notification can be viewed by the individuals’ friends. They can join the application for the special and the notification can be viewed by all of their friends… and so on spreading virally across FB. Thus, this application can drive traffic to businesses.


-Application #2 - Event Application Generator allows one to host events for local businesses (bars, clubs, restaurants, charities, etc). When you combine this application with viral applications (like the one above)…you can drive a lot of traffic to these events. Friends of the individual who joined the application can view the event. They can join and all of their friends can view the event and join...and so on.


-Application #3 - Viral Squeeze Generator claims to help you achieve opt-in rates of up to 85%. Allows one to collect email leads from Facebook and automatically integrate them with popular autoresponders such as Aweber and Getresponse.


-Application #4 - Gotowebinar accelerator allows you to market your webinars on Facebook and/or (?) direct individuals to your fan page to sign up for the webinar. It adds the attendees' email addresses to your email list, automatically registers the attendees for the webinar, and add these attendees to a viral Facebook event that can generate more exposure for this event as it virally spreads across Facebook.


The tool or iFrame fan page generator comes with several templates and allows one to create a professional fan page.


Inside the membership area, there is a FB app generator, iFrame generator, and the applications and tool discussed above.


The FB app and iFrame generator come with instruction videos.


The applications contain step by step instructions.


There are two bonus interviews and three bonus giveaways.

I'm not sure how different people are discovering FBCash2 but the following review is based on my personal experience with an offer I purchased that consisted of FBCash2 and FB App Generator. I decided to purchase because the sales video (and even 2 interviews!) was very ambiguous so the only way to find out was to bite the bullet and see for myself...

First, let me say that I agree with Jason (#3) and would say that FBC2 is useful to someone who is looking for more juice in their FB campaigns. Some useful stuff there and definitely worth the stand-alone $37 price tag.

Regarding the rest of the $97 package, these are my observations:

iFrame (Fanpage) Generator
1. Choice of 2 templates ($27 upsell for more) and proceed with dashboard settings
2. Preparing Content
3. Basic Server Setup
4. Generating your iFrame fanpage files
5. Uploading files to server
6. Integrating fan page to FB

App Generator
1. Introduction
2. Generating Applications With FB Cash Generator
3. Installing The Application
5. Local Business Marketing (mis-labelled; should be "4")
6. Implementing squeeze page applications (requires $17 Squeeze Pages upsell)

Bonuses
Guest interviews
Bonus giveaways

VIP Content

Personal Observations

1) There are no PDFs of any kind (no step-by-step detailed explanation available other than video. Each video has a comment section where many people post their Qs - there are many good and relevant Qs that are left unanswered and in one thread, Sam recommends that people submit a support ticket with their problems. Too bad because there is no way of benefiting from these Qs or other community contributions. (Must be a very busy support system!)

Sam refers to a forum (#8) but for the life of me, I can't find it via Google or the product dashboard...?

2) Part of the promo for this product emphasized the ability to create and sell apps as a way to make some money. The reality of that scenario however, is that you only have the ability to create 2 diff kinds of apps:

1 - email submit - good for CPA (but against TOS to re-direct clicks to non-FB URLs); also good for landing pages

2 - viral app - basically a "before" image that serves as the invitation to click, and the "after" image that shows the result of the click (the offer/coupon/etc as an image) + relevant dld link(s)

Sam also emphasizes in one video that the App Generator will only create "basic marketing apps," NOT "custom" apps. Realistically, I don't see a large market for farming out your app-creating services based on these two very limited abilities.

3) A significant amount of the FBCash2 content is clearly original FBCash1 content. In fact, some of the instructional videos show how to edit the fbml templates. There is other instructions on creating iframe pages but the fact the the fbml content is still there, I find irksome. (It's a peeve of mine to purchase "updated" products only to discover that the creator didn't bother to update the original content. I have run into this on THREE other occasions this past June on MUCH more expense offerings and it really peeves me. If I'm going to pay $100 (this one) and up ($500 & $3K for other courses!) for a product, please have the decency to provide current content. At least pretend to respect the people that are paying you substantial money.

4) The App Generator is web-based. I'm looking for something that I can work with from my desktop.

5) The majority of videos do NOT have dld links and have to be viewed online (I know why they do it but it's just an inconvenience for us honest people). And because they're not on a dedicated page, it's not possible to capture them. I like to view/listen to vids at my leisure on my ipod.

6) Based on the physical limitations of the App Generator, I don't see much use for my offline business. A business owners' first priority is to get people in the door, not collect email addys so that leaves the viral app as the primary benefit of this product. And that basically means paying for a web-based software to create a one-dimensional two-image app. Personally, I need something more creative ...but this might suffice for others.

7) As for offline business ideas - you will most likely benefit from the information in FBCash2, if you're a rookie. But I've been doing this for a while so I personally didn't learn anything that I don't already implement. I'm not writing FBCash2 off completely but I definitely don't recommend paying $97 or $247 for the combo package when FBC2 can be picked up for $37 elsewhere.

8) There are fields to enter GotoWebinar ID and FB Event ID however, those features seem to be part of a different package (?)and there is nothing to explain how to apply them... or upgrade.


Please Note:
This review is based on my personal experience with the product and is not meant to be a reflection on the creators. I don't know them personally and I don't mean to present them in a negative light for any reason. I'm also not suggesting that this is an inferior product; these comments are simply based on my personal needs and expectations.

I only offer this review because of my own frustration at not being able to identify what the product actually did from the sales video and hope that this might help others determine whether it would be useful for them. It's not a bad product, just limited in what I'm personally looking for, esp for the price that I paid.

HTH...

It looks like Sam is nowhere to be found. I did receive several offers from him after he stopped posting here.

About FBCash 2.0 - I watched a few of the videos and they were all outdated. I decided not to bother with the rest. Until Sam does something that changes my mind, I sincerely believe that you can pick up something much better for a lot less and get more support at the Warrior Special Offers forum.

This is my second purchase from Sam. My first purchase was a Facebook Fan page Training course with plr rights before the big changes of March 11th. I purchased because he said that he would update the course after March 11th, but to my knowledge he never did. He answered 1 of my 3 pm's on that.

Sam is very talented, but that's not enough. He has to provide support to those who are the main reason why he is enjoying a better lifestyle -- and so far he has not.

This is my opinion ... and you don't have to agree with me.

Best Regards.

This is a programme with HUGE potential for anyone willing to apply themselves.

Unfortunately the training is a real let down.

I paid my money to Bakker Pirini & Associates on 20th July.

Every day (not Sundays) since then I've spent 3 to 4 hours trying to put the training in to practice.

Following these instructions so far I have created a simple Facebook fan page: Gotta Love London | Facebook

I have created a Customised Fan Page that outlines my offer - it's currently sitting on my computer, almost ready to go

I'm fairly convinced that the offer I have for my fans will go viral... so, following Sam's recommendation, I have purchased a matching domain: Gotta Love London dot com and installed a Wordpress blog.

Facebook are making some changes on 1 October that will require the use of SSL for applications. So following Wynne Pirini's recommendations, I have upgraded my hosting package with Hostgator to "Business" so as to take advantage of the Hostgator SSL.

I have also purchased a further domain, SecurePhoenix dot com - which, again, is installed as an Add-on domain at MyDomain - so as to implement the SSL

I haven't yet uploaded the customised Facebook Fan page I created as I just can't get my head around the, so many, conflicting instructions for creating and uploading the Application.

I read in the forum here that Sam would prefer any specific questions to be sent to him at sam@sambakker.com. So, this morning, after 4 weeks of going around and around, I spent more of my time carefully crafting an email asking Sam for specific guidance in just one area of FB Cash 2.0., i.e. the Application

I closed my email with:

Sam's response...

Now at this point I'm about ready to throw all my toys out of the pram ... when my phone rings...

Some 2 hours later (when it's 2:30 a.m. in NZ) Sam has talked me through and helped me upload my first Application.

Now, would it normally take so long to create and upload an Application? Unlikely... my connection was particularly slow.. at one time going down to 7.3 kps

I guess that once you're familiar with the process, creation would take about 30 to 45 minutes - depending on your graphics creating abilities - and upload 5 to 10 minutes - depending upon your connection speed. But, what you would definitely want is a "Check Sheet"... like aircraft pilots... 1. Do this... 2. Do that... etc.

Sam say he's recorded our session and is going to send me a copy. In recognition of his time with me, I've offered to create a Video explanation and a "Check Sheet" from that recording, the details of which I will post in the FB Cash Forum. He also says that they are introducing some changes that will make the whole process a lot more simple

So in answer to the Original Post, "Yes" Jennifer... it is worth investing your time and money - the potential is HUGE and Bakker Pirini & Associates have demonstrated their willingness to go the extra mile for their customers.

Here's a review I made the other day.. I'll post it in here

Hope that helps you guys, because it helped me ^_^.
