There is no software for making the site. What you get a special script that can be use to help make sales. The script is like a shell where you put in your own front page and design. There should be a guide on how to set it up though.

Thanks guys.

So is it just the manuscript that we follow to help build the sites or is there something in the back office I am missing?

I set up BFM 1 for somebody at one time, and it wasn't too tough. It was made a little more difficult because there were some database fields that weren't being created with the install.sql file, but I resolved that.

I haven't installed this one yet, though, so can't really help there. You have to download the script from the website, though. Put the mp3 cd in your drive (they got the labels wrong on the first 2 disks) and it should auto-run, pulling up your internet browser to the website. You can then download it from there, along with a bunch of videos that teach you how to get it running.

Thanks guys for the help. I have read the manuscript but haven't had the time to go over the CD'S and MP3's so I guess that's all I have missed.

You do get access to the BFM script but it is not in the package you were mailed.

You need to log into the paid members area of the BFM site to access the script downloads. If you load the first disc in the cd series it should open up an html page that will have a link to access the download area.

Be advised that if you bought the 2.0 deal then you may not be able to access the downloads area yet. There have been some issues with people who purchased not being able to get access.

Submit a helpdesk ticket and they will get to you when they can. They seem to be flooded with requests so there is a big backlog.

Isn't the gist of BFM simply a "tell-a-friend" setup?

They give you a disk that simple redirects you to the web download area. Its fluff filler for the package.

They could easily send you over to a download area after your purchase. I would not be surprised if they did the access issues on purpose to create buz even though negative buz is still buz.

Hey MIB (and all other new bfm owners who need help getting started), here you go:

The Quick and Dirty Guide to Getting Started Making Money with Your New BFM 2.0 Script

1.login to your admin panel dashboard.
2.click the "site templates" link
3.click the main page menu to choose how you want the menu to appear on your homepage (ie., vertical, horizontal, etc with the examples provided)
4.copy the code that's provided in the template 'box' there with your mouse
5.open your html editor you use to create websites in another window
6.click the source code tab of your editor to open it
7.paste the code you copied from the 'box' in your site templates in bfm into the
source of the page you're creating in your html editor.
8.create your salespage in your html editor.
9.open the source code again and just select all and copy the entire source code
which now contains the code you copied from bfm
10.paste the source code back into the site template 'box' inside your bfm where
you have it still open.
11. save it to save changes.
12. take a look at your homepage now.
You'll see the menu appear the way you chose either horizontal, vertical etc and also
your salespage there.

*Remember, you can use your homepage for offering something free just to get the new member signup or you can sell a front-end liquidating offer to get the sign up
and then offer the OTO.

(We're about to get to the powerful part here which makes you the money)

13. Inside your admin panel you can find site settings
14. Check the box to have "OTO appear immediately after signup"
15. Create the salespage for your OTO (one time offer) to appear to each new
member who signs up to see.

Remember, you don't want to tell your members that this is the only time they will see this offer,

but that this is the only time you will see this offer at this price.

Now, you're about to see why and basically have all you need to write your own
paycheck from here on out provided you "get it", so read carefully.

Once your new member signs up after either joining as a free member to get
a free product you offered or by purchasing your front end product,

they will have access to their downloads in the members area

and they will also have their own affiliate link to your membership site
auto-generated by the script.

Remember when you told them in the one time offer that that would be the only
time they would be able to get that offer for that price?

Now you can be glad because guess what else your members will see in the
members area?

A link or a couple of links depending on how many memberships you created

telling them "You qualify for the following upgrade: gold"
and "You qualify for the following upgrade: platinum"

(the above are used just for examples to give you a structure because you can
choose whatever you want to name your memberships when you create them
in your admin dashboard from within the admin panel of your script)

Guess what they get when they click on the gold membership upgrade link?

The same offer as the OTO except this time it is a Higher price!

Here's what you just did

Now think about that for a moment and let it sink in to see exactly what you have done with this:

1. You re-inforced your credibility by living true to your word that the one time offer
is the only time they could get the offer at the special price because now they cannot get it at that price anymore....just like you said.

2. You have opened up an extra income stream for yourself using the same offer.
Remember some will purchase the one time offer the first time and some
will purchase the upgrade from within the members area.

3. You have proven your integrity to your members and that you mean business.
In other words, if I say this is the only chance you have to get this offer at this price, then this is the only chance you get. Period. If you test me on this, then you pay more.

4.That has 'trained' your members to take you at your word so that they will
now buy immediately from you if they have any interest in the offer at all because they now know that they will not be able to get the same deal later at that price.

5. If they don't, you win because when they upgrade later, you get paid more=more money for you.

6.If they do, you win because when they purchase the one time offer at the special
one time only price, it's instant income for you.

7.No matter which way they move, you win.

8.No matter when they buy from you, they win because you made a high quality offer which is loaded with value they can't get anywhere else except from you.

Extra Ways to Make Money Maximizing Your BFM 2.0 Sites

1.You can also choose to just take away some of the bonuses and offer basically the same offer for a lower price as a downsell. (This means an extra offer and extra income stream for you!)

2.You can choose to have multiple upsells and downsells:

*ie., for those who buy> upsell,
*for those who don't buy>downsell (instantly creates 2 more income streams for you!)

That's even more money you make
from the same basic offer using the strategies I just gave you for maximizing the power
of your butterfly marketing script.

3.You can also get the affiliate toolbox to generate your affiliate promo tools quickly
to give all your members the easiest ways to make more money just by using your
promo tools you provided for them. This greatly maximizes your profits even more.

There are other tips, tactics and money making strategies you can use to leverage more,
but what I gave you here in this post
is enough to get up and running quickly making money.

Of course you can get extra help in the caterpillar area provided for support.

Hope this helps you get started :-)

Althought I don't have my package yet, from what I could see there was no reason to make it a physical product other then to be able to charge shipping and handling (ie, getting your credit card info for the recurring billing stuff).

Hi,

It's very easy to cancel. It is a learning curve though, take your time.

The registration issue I had, and others should be aware of if selling physical products. There was a link on the front of the members area (a small button) that said 'Confirm', if you don't click that, your address is not confirmed and nothing ships! Finally after about 7 days I realized my product wasn't coming, went back to the members area and clicked the 'Confirm' button - and within 2-3 days I had the package.

Good stuff, and worth the price (shipping only).

When I tried to register to download the script, I had the same problem that was stated above. Instead, I tried logging in with the same email/pass that I had set up previously when I ordered it and that worked.

Mine shipped last week so I'm guessing it should get here soon, but I already have the script. Ordered through Get My Software Free and it gave me the "digital option" but it took a little time dealing with the helpdesk to actually get my account set up in the members area so I could download.

Hi guys I too have been getting stuck in with the BFM script, I mamaged to install the thing however I think it's very buggy due to using hostgator, I had change the permissions several times to get teh install to work ans i beleive that its the reasom why i am getting stuck on afew issues.

Is there anyone out that I can outsource this too? I just can't be spending 3-5 hours a day getting bugs and stuck on each step

The solution a lot of people are finding with HostGator is pretty simple, really (and this advice might hold true for most cPanel hosts these days).

When you upload the script, don't change any of the permissions. Leave all the files as 644 and all the directories as 755. If you know about unix permissions you might think this won't work, but trust me, leave the permissions alone and just go through the rest of the installation steps. The script seems to work fine when you install it this way on HostGator and certain other hosts that don't like you using the more "open" permissions (like 666 or 777).

You might want to play with the permissions for your templates (that shouldn't cause any problems with HostGator).. but a lot of cPanel based hosts these days are using something like suPHP or PHPsuexec so changing the permissions shouldn't be necessary.. since PHP is running under your own hosting account rather than Apache's account (usually "apache", "nobody" or "httpd") it should have no problem writing to your files with the default permissions.

Launch day was a nightmare. I got mine 2 weeks ago. Listening the audios. Have already watched many of the training videos for installation as well as using the template.

The manuscript is awesome. I have so many ideas that I really need to stay focused on one project at a time. I am going to need to lock myself in the room when I do the install. But the videos make it seem super easy. But I am sure with most things there is a learning curve. Get the first one up and running and the next ones will be a breeze.

I downloaded the BFM script no problem? Loads of videos to help with the install too.

Thanks guy's for clearing this up for me, And doug that was a great post very helpful and informative, I can't wait to make my first site now.

Thanks
Bryan

Has anyone who ordered that package in the last promotion been able to download the script?

I can't log on to download, says password is wrong, I have even tried having my password resent and no email arrives.

Submitted a support ticket but have not heard back.

Tried calling the support number listed in the package and get voice mail instructing me to log into support forum.

Logged into the support forum and no help, just see others with the same issue.

Very frustrating. ARGH!!!


Any suggestions on what I can do to get things working?
