Carbon Copy Pro provides you with a killer front end training system that’s for sure, but for many the learning curve is just too steep to climb. The autoship payments every month simply wiped me out. Here’s how I survived to fight another day…
Carbon Copy Pro are a fantastic company who supply up to date training on how to market your WMI (Wealth Masters International) business opportunity online and offline via their awesome system. Their system gives you exclusive access to a huge back catalogue of training calls, resources, and mentors as well as a community of professional marketers via their exclusive forum who are only too happy to help you get up to speed in your business. I know this for a fact because I used to be a member. Here’s the thing…
While they do give you access to all this incredible information and people, it is and always has been in business, up to the individual to create the success that you’re after. No one can be successful for you. This is great because it means anyone can do it and it means everyone starts at zero. It really all depends on what you bring with you to the table when you start marketing. People who have sales and marketing experience are at a distinct advantage. People who come from a recruiting background also have a lot to get started with. For the vast majority of us though, we start out completely green. Of course, no body has nothing to offer. Everyone has some kind of experience they can draw from before they join up. Fact is, when you’re thrown into the fire, only the people who have a real burning white hot desire to succeed will survive this process. You have to learn fast because you’re paying for this education month by month. $150 per month to be exact plus you also have to pay $20 per month for WMI and I’ll tell you now it’s worth every single cent. Knowing that you need to start making money because you’re spending it to stay in business will certainly put the fire in your belly. Here’s my take on things,
What ever you spend on your education is worth it. Some lessons in life are expensive and some are cheap. There is nowhere else in the world where you will get a such a complete business, mindset, marketing and promotion education at such a cheap rate as in the network marketing industry. How long does it take to become a qualified doctor before you can earn the money they do? How else do you learn anything worthwhile than from someone who knows more than you? That’s what CCPro is! A learning facility which actually provides you with a set of income streams to help fund the process while you look for the right people to join your Wealth Masters International business. You have your mentor (Sponsor) and you have thousands of others all willing to share information that will help you succeed in your business. Consider this,
there are many factors and barriers that will stop the uncommitted. Lack of money and or time, there are people who will suck your time away, jobs, laziness, being unfocused, family commitments, TV, and the list could go on for ever. The odds are not in your favour. Bottom line is you can sink really fast and just give up, go back to what you were doing and get what those efforts will get you or you can be an entrepreneur, learn how to put aside unimportant tasks and LEARN how to market effectively and leverage your time and money.
Sometimes unforeseen circumstances can come from left field and knock the wind right out of your sales. Your car needs thousands of dollars put into it to be fixed and not only this your other car needs the same. Your rent goes up by a hundred dollars or more and the money you allocated to your autoship payments while you learn the business suddenly aren’t there anymore.
This brings me to my decision to end my subscription with Carbon Copy Pro. While I love the company and the people in the community all these things I mentioned happened to me in a short period of time. I was an entrepreneur before I signed up. I have a successful copier repair business that I’ve been running for over 4 years now and one thing I’ve learnt is that you need to take the emotions out of money decisions. You need to take the emotions out of business decisions. You need to be objective. At the time when I made the decision I had a clear head and looked at all my income streams and with the emotions of an Ice cube, reviewed which ones were making money and which ones weren’t. The decision was simple.
1. If it makes money keep it
2. If it loses money cut it off.
3. If the cost is small enough and it serves an affordable, sustainable purpose keep it.
Even though CCPRO is a worth while investment it wasn’t making money on a consistent enough basis. some would join and then quit later on so I couldn’t rely on my team’s monthly fees yet to cover costs indefinitely. On top of that it was losing money. Not CCpro’s fault, just a fact. So I cut it off.
Here’s what I kept and why, The copier business is my most profitable set of income streams. It is a well established business with a large customer base so naturally it stays.
I have a subscription to Aweber that I use for both my marketing and copier business and at $20 per month is very cheap. It fell into category 3.
I have a subscription to the association of Better Networkers on Better Networker which serves too many great purposes to mention in this article and is only $10 per month so it stays.
Wealth Masters International is only $20 per month and is my Primary opportunity so it stays.
This is where things get really interesting, you see I also have a front end training, affiliate and lead generation system that I placed in front of Carbon Copy Pro system that leads people through a sales funnel similar to CCPro but very different in many ways. This system actually pays for itself via affiliate cash from various products it sells for me. My customers in that system buy from me over and over again and I use that money to fund my marketing and it only costs a third of Carbon Copy Pro per month. So it stays.
Making this important decision has allowed me to stay in the game. By not having that $150 payment coming out of my account each month has seen my account going up again instead of steadily down.
Having used both systems for over a year in tandem and in series, it’s my opinion that this a far superior system in many ways to the CCPro system for training up my team, generating affiliate commissions for me and leading people to my WMI business opportunity. When I ended CCpro I fully intended to sign up again once everything gets back on track and I still do. Here’s my criteria for knowing when to sign up again. Once my front end system can pay for all my subscriptions and auto ships including Carbon Copy Pro, purely from the monthly commission I get for sign ups to that system (Not one off affiliate commissions) ( You get $15 per month commission from each of your team members) for a full three month period, then I’ll re sign up to CCPro. After all it is a great training facility and provides a wonderful range of income streams. I love Carbon Copy Pro and look forward to the day I come back.
I share my story here because I know many other people will have a similar one and this is the solution that has worked for me. It might just be the solution you’re looking for to keep you in the game. We are entrepreneurs are we not. We never give up! Solution is our middle name.
P.S. One more thing I almost forgot to mention – this System includes the best , most unique learning tool there is- A REAL PERSON. You get your own professional Attraction Marketing Coach to call with any questions you may have. As often as you need. Any time. Eight hours a day. Five days a week.

Nice article Peter. I agree, the monthly membership can take its toll for a lot of CCPro members and your approach to focus on what works and what doesn’t and to create profitable income streams is vital for the online survival of any business.
My own experience is very different with CCPro ( I earn a good monthly income and my membership is easily covered from team commissions etc) but that’s not the case for all.
Ultimately, it’s about sticking with what works for you and leaving behind what doesn’t – it’s all part of the journey, right?
I wish you well and hope to see you around the traps sometime..
