Carbon Copy Marketing - Scam or Legit?

After a twenty or so calls from average joe's searching for the best home based business asking my opinion on the Carbon Copy Marketing system with Jay Kubassek I finaly started doing some research on this seemingly hot new "buzz" in the home business industry.

Seems like every where I turn I hear something about Carbon Copy Marketing and it's success story Jay Kubassek. Well here is a brief over view of what I uncovered form my quick research.

First and foremost I found a VERY DETAILED website that gives an over view of the entire Carbon Copy Marketing system when I ran a search on Google. I'm placing the link to this website I discovered at the bottom of my little two cents here. But if you're in a hurry to learn the details about Carbon Copy then you can click this line.

Now, from what I uncovered I found that the system is charging people $50.00 to get this very basic information that is described on teh website I mentioned above. Basically the company or "product" they're promoting is called Wealth Masters International and has from what I've learned on the WMI website three levels at which to join but Carbon Copy Marketing primarily focuses on pushing or promoting the $8,995.00 level - Yes, thats right! The initial buy in they're wanting you to get involved with is $8,995 for JUST THE PROGRAM! THAT'S IT!

After you've forked over a huge amount of money for this "wealth management" mentoring and education CD package they suggest you have and additional $5,000.00 for a marketing budget. I was floored personally, to think that someone wanting to start a business is going to shell out $13,995 to get started. I mean how many potential members do they think they can attract? The pool of potential investors has to be pretty small when you think about the average "per-capita" income in the USA house holds. Again the statistical data for this business is provided on the very detailed site I ran across in my Google search for Carbon Copy Marketing and Jay Kubassek.

I would urge anyone looking into getting involved in Carbon Copy Marketing with Jay Kubassek to take a few minutes and review this wesbite located at teh following link:
http://carbon-copy-scam.com

I also ran across another fairly good review on Squidoo.com discussing the Carbon Copy system http://www.squidoo.com/carbon-copy-marketing-the-duplicate. It wasn't as detailed as the website above that I discovered but it was yet another interesting take on the entire system form a very experienced and familiar online marketing guru. This was from a personal perspective form teh creator of The Wealth Funnel System Home Based Business.

Again, it wasn't as detailed as the site above but it was a pretty good take and it made some interesting points as well.

I hope this has given you some better insight into what the Carbon Copy Marketing System is all about. Do your research and begin speaking with people that don't "HIDE BEHIND A WEBSITE" to find the best opportunity to suite your needs and goals best.

And always remember this: The value is in the value is in the education and training. If you are truly instructed how to market properly online then you'll be successful at what ever product, program, r service you wish to promote.

Here is another Blog with some helpful information pertaining to the Carbon Copy Pro marketing system with Jay Kubassek. I found this blog to be very helpful in my decision to NOT join CCP and waste $10,995.

Carbon Copy Pro Review

Dustin Callahan said...

Good content. Although not accurate. The entry level M1 product is priced at $1995 which is a very reasonable startup cost for a business. It seems people in the online world approach business expenses as a hobby/money game versus a real business startup cost. In the offline world people invest 50K or more to start franchises. Let's be 100% honest people.

The information contained here is very misleading. For example, one does not have to pay 8,000 or 2,000 to join as a consultant for WMI. For those people have a limited budget it may be started for a under around $500 and marketing budget of $500-$700 bringing the total to around $1200.

I suggest posting factual information instead of defaming companies that are legitimate.

There's Carbon Copy MARKETING and Carbon Copy PRO, which is Jay Kubassek's gig. This is confusing: Jay Kubassek is not affiliated with Carbon Copy Marketing. Carbon Copy Marketing is what Mike Filsaime was doing before he introduced Butterfly Marketing. . . . I'm new at this and have been frequently confused by marketers copying the names of successful products to cash in on the association (I assume). This was one of them. I would think you'd want to correct this. I hope so.

I agree with your statement. I think the social marketing is the way.

The Carbon Copy pro system is basically as they say a business in a box.

Please correct your spelling. It will help people trust your analysis. Even if what you say is true, I'm left thinking it was written by a kid.

oddly (or not), i have yet to run across a carbon copy PRO/WMI consultant bashing another system or person, and then baiting tyhe reader toward them. yet many bash CCP, and then bait and switch after presenting the reader with a "studied, researched and unbiased" article. i wonder why this is. part of my reason to get involved with CCP was based directly on this discovery alone.

PS i welcome anyone to direct me to an example of a CCP consultant bashing another opportunity. i'd be interested to see such an example.

I would think you'd want to correct this. But once i visited the carboncopyPRO site i gained lot of information. They provide a good service. They guided me in better way. They really rock.

It sounds high price compared to the norm. This could be a good or bad thing. You get bad higher commission if you no how to market. The big question is would you make the purchase if no income opportunity exist? This is what I would like to know.

Have a great day!

Echoing the comments of some people here: I found your article fascinating, enlightening and wonderful. The one detraction was the spelling & grammatical errors. Your writing style is so great: it's a shame that typoes let you down. Perhaps have someone else type or proofread your work & you may find that you are twice as effective. Lovin' your work!

I think you need to get your facts straight. I just started looking into the program and know that the M1 is the 1st program they promote and it's $2k. Where did you get $8k?
