Jack Canfield and Bob Proctor’s Science of Getting Rich System & Affiliate Program

Posted by Harmony Rousseau on Apr 6, 2007 in Self Help Gurus | 0 comments

Recently, Bob Proctor and Jack Canfield have released a new program and affiliate system based on the principles of Wallace Wattles’ The Science of Getting Rich. (You can download a copy of the Wattles’ book by joining my mailing list on the intro page of my site.)

If you’ve been following the launch, they came out with this program for $2000 and created what they consider a “generous” affiliate program. When I first saw it, red sirens went off in my head screaming things like “multi-level scam” and “snake oil salesmen”.

It didn’t really surprise me that they would have created this type of program. After all, both guys are serious marketers, so they know how to milk a product for all it’s worth. Canfield has something like 80 different flavors of the Chicken Soul for the Soul books out there. Bob Proctor’s been speaking on the motivational/get rich circuit for quite some time.

Two things did surprise me – the cost of the program at a whopping $2000 and the affiliate program, which they’ve been marketing heavily. It works this way. You purchase the program for $2000 and get access to all these affiliate tools to use to market the program to your friends, family and colleagues. For each sale, you get $500. If anyone you refer then refers their friend, family or colleague to their own site, you get a 2nd tier commission of $250. So, to make your money back, you just need to sell 4 copies (you get $500×4=$2000) – or sell 2 and get those two people to each sell 2 (you get $500×2 + $250×4 = $2000).

My first thought was – do people really buy these programs? Apparently they do. One woman I know purchased hers the first week the program came out and had made $4000 in 2 weeks through the affiliate program. Wow. But can it last?

What’s great for Bob Proctor and Jack Canfield about this program is that they don’t have to do the marketing themselves. They have an army of sales people to get out there and sell – and this army is extremely motivated. After all, they just plunked down $2000 on a program they probably couldn’t afford and now they need to make serious cash.

They claim it’s a great business model – they provide you with the product and the marketing materials. Now, you just have to sell.

I wish marketing was that easy. Really, I do. But there comes a point when everyone’s offering the exact same thing in the exact same way and it just stops being effective. I’m sure this program hasn’t reached critical mass yet – but given the competition for clicks on pay per click search engines, there’s lots of competition already. The savvier marketers have already started promoting their affiliate link on YouTube, Google, MySpace, and other popular sites. I can only imagine that as more people join this program, the cost per click will soar.

I’m also uncertain whether this is the “official” program that is endorsed by Rhonda Byrne or if it’s a side project of Proctor and Canfield. When the site first launched, it claimed to be the “official teachings on The Secret”. One day, the site mysteriously went dark – they claimed they had just had a “soft launch” – and a few days later, the new site emerged with slightly different copy and no picture of Michael Beckwith. (I still don’t know why he left.)

I, personally, won’t be purchasing the program. I have no idea what content they are including, but I suspect it’s similar to Bob Proctor’s Science of Getting Rich program. But I am an affiliate – you can be too if you sign up here. The basic affiliate program is free. (Hey – I’m working to make $30/day by day 30 of my experiment. If I only sell 2 of these “big ticket items”, I’ll have made my goal for the month!)

So, if you’re in the market for this program, please consider purchasing through my link. While my article probably won’t convince you to buy, but maybe these promo videos they’re giving out will!
