Chris Farrell membership: Is it worth it?

Thanks for the thorough review Vadi. I'm working on a membership site right now so I'll keep your insights in mind

Cheers

I guess the more advanced we get, we tend to forget that there are still millions of people all over the world who are starting from scratch just like we did at one point. So although it may not be that beneficial for us, it can probably still help A LOT of people.

I can definitely agree that it's very useful to beginners. I just started a few days ago as a matter of fact and am doing what Vadimarket is suggesting. Watch as much as I can before I'm charged the $37 a month.
The one thing I was worried about was having to be a member forever in order to keep the "free" hosting. But I can always get a new host and use them anyways.

I've learned so much in the past 3 days... going from no knowledge of IM to what I feel to be a lot of knowledge. I highly recommend this membership to anyone starting completely from scratch.

That being said, is there any product or subscription service that you guys recommend I look into after I'm done learning the basics? Vladimarket, what did you do after unsubscribing from CFM?

These may be some very good points, but let me tell you my experience:

I was a total newbie at the beginning of last year, and I found CFM, while looking for a way to make money online.

In fact I liked his courses so much I signed up for his mentoring program.

Your right - It may not be for everyone, but it taught me foundational principles of Internet Marketing which we all need to be successful in this business.

His step by step teaching has kept me from burning the midnight oil getting my head wrapped around all this IM stuff - which honestly sometimes takes new (and sometimes seasoned) marketers years to fully understand.

Because of Chris and his team I make a decent living online, and it probably happened quicker than most people.

But as always - everything is not for everybody

I read a review about Chriss Farrel program also before and while as you say that it is not a scam, it is not that good either. If people just want to learn the basics of internet marketing, they rather have to sign up to Wealthy Affiliate University. The place is free and there is no limit for the free membership. Although there is a premium (which is paid) membership as well, members don't have to upgrade if they don't want to.

I'll tell the truth, I've been a member several times and you're exactly right... watch all the videos you can and cancel.

You can only use their "Done For You" websites if you have CFM Hosting. Another gimmick to keep you making monthly payments.

I'm sure he's lost a lot of members, the reason he's dropped his sign up fee and created a whole new website with new videos and programs... still the same stuff though!

Wow thanks, I was about to promote their product (well, considering it) as an affiliate from CB, but I don't want to scam people into thinking they will "MAKE MONEY!!!" by buying a domain.....and doing the other basics which is only the 101 of IM. That's like telling someone "buy all these cooking supplies (pans, knives, seasonings, etc)" and then NEVER shows you how to cook or use them.

Like joseph7384 said....this is a Chris Farrell website review and I don't think it's an appropriate place to advertise other affiliate programs to the members no matter how good the presenter thinks they are! I have yet to join Chris's membership because I really research any program before I commit to anything. Warrior members ought to know better than to mix up and advertise programs that have nothing to do with the review at hand!

I personally think Chris has style especially when he talks to his 2 small lovable fury dogs (that are normally asleep on the sofa when he records the webinars....lol). I'm not a member but I can imagine him making learning fun. The free hosting and other perks certainly would make me join if I was a newbie rather than spending thousands of dollars on other training products. I firmly believe that having a good mentor really helps one to succeed.

Chris Farrell is a good man full stop.

His site provides an excellent entry point for a new person and saves them from the "Moth Syndrome" of being attracted to shiney objects.

I used his site as a plaform or a learning center more than an earning center, and stuff I learned there I still use.

Chris has fantastic support staff, very knowledgeable and very helpful and whats more are empathetic to the new person's ignorance.

Empire network is a house of cards - it is multi level using IM as a disguise - you don't build a business as such but "spin plates" - getting people in and keeping them in.

The videos are the dead give away here.

All power to the chaps who started it - great idea.

I started looking into the Chris Farrell Membership and discovered a lot of information on some other programs. I was in EN for several months and got no action at all. Very disappointing but I know others who did well. These membership sites are probably not for me. I like the idea of building your own solid business step by step. There is a lot of information and it's a little tricky to sort it all out. I am glad that I discovered this site and the War Room.

Thanks to all!

To all of our success!

O MA GOD people, calm down lol.

First of all, I apologize for making that EN and BB post months ago. I had no idea it's gonna get so much hate from some of you MLM haters. The guy asked me what I was into back then, and I answered. I still think that EN is a good program. I'm making a few thousands on autopilot monthly, and I stopped promoting EN 3 months ago. As a matter of fact, right now I'm busy with other projects, I really don't have time for EN or other MLM (don't ask me what I do, otherwise joseph7384 is gonna get on my a$$ again fro making another irrelevant post) I'm trying to get rid of all EN related stuff, such as affiliate links/blog posts/squeeze pages etc. because people are joining my team without me even wanting them to, so that's really annoying that I have to waste my time to sponsor them and keep coming back to EN.

But I apologize for making that post EN in this thread.

Oh and CrossCreations. You sound really pathetic when you said that my only purpose to do this review was to promote my EN. lol. I've done quite a few reviews/money making tutorials on this forum that many people found helpful. And I made only one post mentioning EN, not even promoting, just mentioning (articles not included). Sorry, but it looks like you're just mad at me for saying something bad about your Lord and Savior - CF, and also somehow succeeding at EN when you yourself failed.( judging by your post you are/were a member yourself)

Now, I never said Farrell was a bad guy/scam/Judas/etc (Even though the whole "FREE" hosting thing is a SCAM) 95% of CFM members are total newbies, and they will signed up for Chris's hosting just because it's his hosting and because he says it's "FREE". That way it's guaranteed that many of his members will stay on his site for a while. Many of them don't know or think it's too complicated to transfer your site to another hosting, so it's easier for them just to stay with Chris and pay 40$/m.

Now, ask any member of his site if they made a penny out of his membership site (I'm talking about CFM/ not his mentoring program), I guarantee, at least 90% of his members either haven't made any money or made so little, it wasn't even enough to cover their CFM fees.).

Let's put it that way. Chris is a really good mind controller( His calming British accent helps him with that too in my opinion ). He gives people a lot of hope, and a lot people believe in that hope, but when it comes down to actually making money, everyone fails for some reason. How is that a good program ???

Now, like I said in my first post, if you know absolutely nothing about IM. And you want to learn how to set up domain/hosting, learn basic HTML editor, etc, I suggest you join the trial version for a buck ( or whatever he charges now). Just don't have your hopes too high. Just because he shows you the video of him making 2K$ per day( from the money his members pay him for his site btw) doesn't mean you'll have the same success.

Cheers.

I ever joined to Chris Farrell Membership in 2012. For me this membership is really great for newbie because they guide you step by step with video tutorials. It's really recommended.

On the site its saying 1$ for 7 days, but if i wanna pay i need to pay 4.95$. Not really worried about the 3,95$ tbh, but dont wanna automaticly pay 36$ for the next month obviously.

Ah the 'warrior forum' does tend to be a magnet for those who need ego food from giving advice and playing the 'kick ass' expert.

How ironic that anyone who promotes the Empower Network might point fingers at such practices as 'sky high fees' and 'mind controlling' and even words like 'pathetic' ??????

... oh MY! How ironic!!!

The 'pot calling the kettle black'???

We're all faced with avalanches of promotions. We look and compare and measure possibilities. Some are a match for what we'd be proud to promote, others repel from the beginning. Such choices are wise, for recommendations become our brand, a level of trust in reputation and honesty and genuine belief.

On the other hand 'failure' is about attempts to promote X person or company that failed to get response. I'm so glad I took the time to see the inside of the Empower Network before I ever even considered promoting it.

That is no failure except in time lost. And about $50 for 3 days as an EN member of rolling my eyes at constant upsells and language like 'wussy' directed at those hesitating to pay 'sky high fees' for the next episode of pathetic 'mind controlling' promotional dribble referred to as advanced marketing training.

How very ironic!

There is nobody out there that teaches newbies and technophobes that way Chris does. Not even close.

I can't tell how many WSO's I have bought, not only as a newbie but even well into intermediate stage, that simply assumed I understood things that I don't. (Often times, making the whole product worthless, because I couldn't go on, and they don't provide support.)

Chris made it possible for the techiephobe in me to believe I could learn how to make money online, and he's done the same for thousands of others.

Like any membership site, you stay til you feel like it's time to go. I'm so thankful to him, I stay and enjoy having Jeff the web guy answer almost any question I can come up with, usually within the first day or few hours (or minutes) of posting a question.

Chris is also great for marketers who forgot what it was like being a newbie, so they can learn how to teach them.

And everyone who ever sells a WSO should be required to take one of his video courses in order to learn how to teach to people who know less than they do.

He never assumes you know something and that is what makes him so effective.

He's also genuinely nice. The world needs more like him and IM does too.

He is constantly adding and revising/updating courses and he has great webinars with no pitching.

He almost never sends an email with any kind of offer... (maybe once a year, or less).

If you know anybody struggling to earn online, do them a favor and send them to Chris and have them take one of his courses and go from there.

Being a CFM affiliate is one of the purest, most helpful products you could ever choose to sell to newbies, especially compared to almost every WSO that's ever been sold.

If the prospect of transferring the web hosting later when a member is ready to leave worries them, then don't host with him and get the baby gator. Of course, it really wouldn't be a problem when they are ready to leave since they'll soon know how simple it is to do.

EDIT - Just scrolled up and read another post from the OP calling the free hosting a scam. Unbelievable the stuff people toss around. A scam is buying a TV from a guy at a flea market and getting home and when it doesn't work, you discover there is nothing inside but some rocks.

If you learn from CF how to create a website, you know that transferring hosting isn't hard. That is the thing Chris brings you. A light bulb goes off and you realize you can do things. But, if you still somehow have any question, you would post on the extremely warm and fuzzy forum and you find out how simple it is from great people, without the insults and egos getting in the way like we often find here on WF, which btw is another reason people stay there They love the community.

And I don't believe OP did any kind of survey to come up with any stats about who made money, but if there were any real surveys, I'm sure CF membership would fare way better than the average program, especially EN.

Do a search on CF and you can find hundreds of loyal supporters who aren't supplying an affiliate link giving raving fan testimonials. That says it all.

I do agree with OP that there is nothing wrong with joining for the trial and leaving, (other than you are likely selling yourself short.)

You reffered to EN in your opening post, not because someone asked you what you are doing.






The hosting is not a scam, I used his free hosting when I was in his membership and it did what it was supposed to do, (host your site).

If a newbie joins his membership site, why not take advantage of the hosting, I'm certain that it's not a premium hosting but it's a good way for newbies to get their feet wet and get their site up and running.






Chris's squeeze page never makes any income claims, it's called "Create Your First Website By 3:45 This Aftrnoon".


Newbies that Join his membership site mostlikely will not make money because they don't know how to drive targeted traffic, don't know how to create compelling headlines and a whole array of other factors, but that is what the training is for.

After a few months of his training they are ready to venture off and put their knowledge into practice.






It's a good program because of the training and show me where you are getting your data from, if you can't back it up, don't make wide brush statements claiming that nobody in his membership is making money.

Chris Farrell Membership is a site aimed towards newbies in IM, and for that purpose, it is an excellent site. If you're fairly experienced in IM, of course you won't find any use for the site. That doesn't mean that others who are complete newbies will not find it valuable. He has lots of video trainings on the main aspects of IM and he shows people what to do step by step, and in a form that is very easy to understand.

I was a member of the site for about a year (should have cancelled about 4 months earlier because I'd learnt all I thought I could, but just didn't get round to it.), I'm not exactly a newbie, but I can't claim to be a hard nosed IMer either and I found some of his training very valuable.

As a fairly experienced IM, of course you can spot ways how Chris tries to make more money from his members, and trying to appear not to. E.g. Having them to focus their first internet venture by promoting his membership site as affiliates through the first website he teaches them to build; Providing them with a newsletter, which largely promotes his site, to send to their mailing list after recommending Aweber, and encouraging them to sign up under his affiliate link but acting indifferent towards it in the same breath; providing made for you websites to promote specific products, which I'm sure he benefits from, etc etc etc.

But I'm not begrudging him earning from his efforts because regardless of whether his members are usually nudged towards being affiliates for his site in his trainings, at least they're learning very valuable skills along the way that will prove very useful to them in their own businesses. Besides, if they're successful affiliates of his site and the products he recommends, they will be earning commissions as well, so they equally win.

While the site's membership are largely newbies, I spotted a couple of very experienced IMers, some of them with their own fairly established products, on the site as well. They help out in the forums answering questions and very frequently reinforcing the value of the site, giving the impression that they still find value in the site. My suspicion is that such members have free memberships on the quiet, because they can't possibly be learning anything from the site that they haven't already got vast experience in.

Now whether the site is worth $37/mth depends on people's circumstances. It is a question of the value people get from the site. I mean, a man dying of thirst in the desert would give anything for a drink of water.

All in all, I think Chris is one of the good guys because he is simply earning a living while helping people who need it.., which is a lot more than can be said for thousands of shady IMers out there.

I think his site is worth it, if YOU USE his advice. Most people don't go that far. They just join and expect things to magically happen. I think Chris is an honest and upfront guy and provides real value to those who are WILLING TO TAKE ACTION.

I heard that it is great for newbies!

I agree, it's been said that it's great for newbies, try Gain Higher Ground - goes from complete Newbies to running a complete IM sustainable Web Business.

I just started out in this Internet Marketing world and i am a member of Chris Farrell program.
So the reviews are great for me.
Thanks

I am on day 3 of my trial.
Currently on the 15th video. So far, everything very very basic. I am still waiting on the part where he tells you how to use Optimize Press to easily create a 3 page site. Then how to generate traffic, at least I hope that's what I'll see next.

But found my first gotcha of Chris Ferrell's entire operation.
His course is based on Optimize Press Lite. A custom super light theme of OptimizePress but IT ONLY WORKS ON HIS OWN HOSTING PLATFORM.
You need to have a year membership, and continue with your membership to keep your sites active once you completed your course.

I posted this comment saying how it put a wrench into the entire course, and my comment was promptly deleted.

Well I guess you could very easily install wordpress on your own hosting and skip the forced tie in to his program couldn't you?

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking of joining his program to try and learn a bit more on how to make some money online. My main business promotion is Traffic but I would like to find a niche besides list building that people are actually buying...any ideas?

It's a good place to start if you are beginner.

Chris farrell is one of the best teachers out there...

Very bad experience with this one! I bought the annual membership option, and all I got in return was a referral by Clickbank to a very unprofessional-looking website which required me to login using my details - which they never sent me! I have asked them to remedy the position, have even phoned Chris Farrell to that effect, but to no avail. What should I do to get my money back?

Yes, I think it is worth it. His videos are excellent and the best for the newbie who really wants to know Internet Marketing. His courses are provided in very easy steps and it has very good graphics. The information is presented in a slow way so as to digest the information provided. He basically does this primarily in all his videos. Even though he provides hosting but you still have to buy an auto responder. But that's it. To stay past the 7 day trial, it will cost $35.95 a month but for that membership, still that is not a bad price considering all the other types of IM which does cost more. CFM has no upsell but does provide a few businesses that others are trying to promote. You have to work all these out yourself to make it work. I'm not saying you are going to be rich but a few hundred dollars a month will help with expenses. Even a thousand dollars a month will pay for the mortgage of a house, car, insurance and have a little extra for yourself. Why not move to Las Vegas where you can gamble a little and maybe hit the big one. Only kidding lol. All I can say in a summary that Chris is an honest and real person who is not out to screw you. Try it out; doesn't cost much for the trial and if you like it, then you decide whether to go for it. By the way, I am not in any form trying to sell you.

zzme

No, not a scam. Could be a little lower in membership fees. The forum is pretty active. He presents everything in a easy to learn manner. Just figure that you will learn internet marketing in a clear, concise manner. No pressure whatsoever.

It does not matter if you are clueless or have been spinning your wheels for a year or two, if you really want to learn the best way to make money online, Chris Farrell Membership is a no-brainer. There is no better Coach online that Chris himself.
KC Kohl, ImreviewPro.Com
