Have you come across many product names that start with Funnel X? That’s because there are more than one, but all founded by one man, David Dekel.
Today, I would like to present the Funnel X ROI review to you, in hopes of giving you the information you need to make an informed decision about buying into it.
There are many products online promising you great riches of you purchase them, and unfortunately, there are many scams out there.
Their preview videos, or landing pages, can sound so convincing, that they do what they’re intended… to persuade you to buy.
I’m happy to see you doing research on these products so that you can safely judge if they’re legitimate.
You’ll find many positive reviews out there, from the affiliates of the product (that makes sense, right?) Or you’ll find those who yell “scam” because it’s not necessarily effective for others.
But this review is unbiased and is only seeking the truth. I joined Funnel X ROI so that I could get inside and see how it works. Then I’d like to give you my honest recommendation, OK?
And if you’d like to see an alternative, honest, and legitimate platform to start earning money online, then please click here.

What Is Funnel X ROI?
This is one of many systems founded by David Dekel. He has been a successful online marketer for many years now and specializes in sales funnels. He has his own website, Daviddekel.com, if you’d like to read his personal story.
This product’s website was created on December 2017, so it’s fairly new. His system is FREE and doesn’t create any income in itself. It’s designed as a sales funnel, promoting several 3rd party companies.
Programs Provided
- Easy 1Up – $25 to $2000
This is an MLM (multi-level-marketing), or pyramid styled business in which has six different levels you can buy into.
It’s set up in such a way that you get 100% commission from your first customer sign-up (100% of the level you yourself purchased). From there, it involves a more complex commission structure.
If you only sign up for the $100 level, you’ll only make $100 commissions, regardless of how much your customer chooses to spend.
This is not a Ponzi scheme, in that each level provides a certain amount of training material regarding affiliate and email marketing.
The more you pay, the more in-depth the training. But realistically, your business is based on trying to sell the Funnel X ROI system.
If you’d like to read an in-depth review of the Easy 1Up system, please click here
- Now Lifestyle – $600/year or $74.91/month OR $50/month Special (as long as available)
Now Lifestyle, founded by Joel Therien, is a health and wellness company, offering nutritional supplements and video workout training. They also offer an affiliate program with marketing tools needed for your sales funnel.
As an affiliate, you’re required to purchase three levels of products:
- Health & Wellness for 5 Family Members – $100/year or $24.97/month
This is a membership for a customized diet and exercise program for you and 5 family members.
- Business Automation and Autoresponder – $250/year or $24.97/month
This gives you a landing page builder, lead capture system, text/video templates, autoresponder, a list of 5000 subscribers, and email swipe files.
- Reseller Program – $250/year or $24.97/month
This level gives you a license to sell and collect up to $100% commission upfront, and 90% for residual monthly commissions.
- Or an opening week special (which says the same thing no matter when you click on it, lol) – $1 for 7-day trial then $50/month.
This includes all the above plus hands-on marketing and fitness training at their headquarters. One on one advice from Joel himself, in Schertz, Texas. This doesn’t include transportation or accommodations, just the visit.
Now if you sit down and figure it out…this special sounds good, but you end up paying the same at $50/month. That’s $600/year. The same as buying the three levels above at the annual rate. Sneaky, sneaky…
- The ROI Panel – $197, $597, or $1497 (Clickmagick no longer used)
David calls this his Profit Vision system that he himself uses to rake in commissions. It’s a system that shows you where your profits are coming from. So when you spend money on traffic, like Solo Ads, for example, this system tracks which traffic source is the profitable one.
There are three levels to choose from, each including its own bonuses. David says this software is in Beta right now, and when complete, the price will double.
You receive a reseller license with the level you purchase and earn a 50% commission for selling that level. If you wish to earn the maximum amount of commission, you would have to buy the Master Level. This allows you to earn from any level sold.
- Funnel X Advance – $200+ to $1997
This product is one of David Dekel’s other systems and it’s Pay-Per-Lead. You don’t need to sell anything. It’s strictly a pay per lead, meaning you earn $1 for every “qualified” lead you send into the program.
There are four levels to choose from. The top three levels offer tools and pre-written material for you to use in your campaigns. Each successive level offers more training and bonuses than the previous one.
You’re awarded $1 for each qualified lead, as well as 50% commission for any referral upgrade up to the level you yourself purchased. There are also commissions for other traffic and system memberships.
- Starter Membership – Free
This allows you access to the system. You can use your affiliate link to send leads, but you’re not provided with any additional material.
- Builder Level – $200
- Super Affiliate Level – $597
- Leader Level – $1997
For the top three levels, you’re required to sign up with NowLifestyle autoresponder for $50/month and up, and with the ROI Panel for $197 and up.
- Advertising Boost – $49/month or $458/year
Create an attractive offer by adding vacation stay bonuses, to create more leads. This service also has it’s own affiliate program to earn you more commissions.
- Udimi (Solo Ads) – Hundreds per email campaign
This is David’s “secret” traffic source. But it’s not a secret. Many marketers use this site to buy solo ads, lol.
You can join for free, and scroll through all the sellers until you find one you think you can trust. There’s a filtering system to narrow down specifics and customer reviews to help guide you.
David only recommends paid traffic for earning commissions. But this can get quite costly if you want to run many campaigns each month.
David also offers you several bonuses if you purchase the annual plan. They include landing pages, email campaigns, training for lead generation, and his secret promotional material to help you create more sales. All this is supposedly worth $7985.
Expected Costs
You have a choice as to which products you wish to promote with David’s funnel, but if you purchase all he recommends, then they would look like this:
- The minimum would be $880 upfront + $50/month (Now Lifestyle special)
- The maximum would be $5952 upfront + $50/month
- Or the cost of any combination of products you choose
- The cost of Solo Ads can be $200 and up each campaign
[adinserter block=”1″]
Who Is It For?
I believe this system is for an advanced marketer with email marketing experience. David claims that his products are easy enough for a beginner to use, but even with his step by step videos, there is a steep learning curve.
And with anything worthwhile online, it will take a lot of work. David makes it look easy because he’s done this for years now, and understands all the processes involved.
You will no doubt become more comfortable as time goes on, as you learn by trial and error. But don’t expect to make as much money as he says you will overnight.
There’s a lot to learn when creating your own email list, or using finding a successful list with Solo Ads.
And expect to pay a considerable amount of money before making a return on your investment. This is why I wouldn’t recommend a beginner.
First of all, you probably don’t have that kind of money to invest, and secondly, the risk of losing your investment is real.
How Does The Funnel Work?
After receiving my login information by email, I logged into the system. The dashboard lists each step under “start here”, with access to help, your affiliate links, all the bonuses he offers throughout the set-up stage, and settings.
After the welcome video, you scroll down to the bottom to continue to the next step. Each progressive step included a video, the option to purchase that product, and another “next step” button.
The option is yours to purchase any of the products, and at which level. He discusses each platform and tries to persuade you of the value of purchasing the highest level in each.
You earn commissions when anyone signs up to the programs that you’ve joined. Therefore, his reasoning is to sign up for all of them to make the most of your commission earnings.
It was quite a lengthy maze of products and information to get through, but David has set it up in a manageable order of steps with videos on each page.
By the time you’ve gone through each step, and possibly spend a fortune, haha, he shows you his secret way of acquiring traffic.
Using words like “secret” usually gets people to sit up, lol. But it’s only using the Udimi platform, which is a marketplace of traffic sellers.
You pay a vendor for a one-time email blast to a list of people they’ve collected, also known as a solo ad. The larger the list, the more it costs. It can range anywhere from $.35 to .95 per click, depending on the filters you use.
This seller in the picture below has a maximum of 300 emails. Others will offer up to 950. Just slide the red button to how many you want, and it will show you the vendor’s cost.
David also offers 15 case studies, but you need to have purchased the ROI Panel in order to access them.
I was impressed that he talks about some people who may not get any results and that he, himself doesn’t get sales with every traffic run. Many product creators hide this fact in the fine print!
The last step he brings you to is his Team Traffic Co-op Rotator. Though David highly recommends you learn how to get traffic on your own, this is a nice option for those wanting a quick start without the research.
Here, you buy traffic together as a group, and you simply pay for the number of clicks you want to pay for. First, you have to apply, and if they decide you’re a good fit, you’ll be added to the Co-op
Pros
- Done for you email campaigns (at higher levels)
- Step by step video support
- The funnel itself is free
- Purchasing more programs will offer multiple income streams
Cons
- Cannot add your own outside products to promote
- Because it’s just a funnel, you must purchase at least one program to make commissions
- Your commission is limited by the level of program you purchased
- The top levels of each program are very costly
Final Thoughts And Recommendations
I believe this system to be legitimate. David Dekel has created a sales funnel that seems to be effective for many people. Of course, we don’t hear from the failures, and I’m sure there are some of those as well.
Though his choice of programs that are integrated into his funnel is your only choice, they seem to be sound platforms with generous affiliate programs.
So why not just promote these standalone companies yourself?
Because David says that his system will increase your sales conversions. His sales funnel system includes all the pre-made sales videos, follow-up emails, and training for each step of the process. As he says, the system does all the heavy lifting.
This is certainly an easier way to perform email marketing, but rest assured, it still involves work on your part… and a lot of money!
Is Funnel X ROI a scam? NO
Do I recommend it? A cautious Yes
If you are willing and able to invest a sizable sum, knowing there’s always a risk of failure, then go ahead. I would caution you if you are a beginner, though.
I honestly believe a more experienced marketer will have better results. And that’s simply because they understand the process and have possible experience with solo ads.
I’d like to recommend a better alternative!
You can still have your own online business, earning an income through affiliate sales, but starting for zero dollars.
It’s the platform I used, and still use, to learn all about online marketing. Email marketing through sales funnels is only one of many ways you can earn an income, and this platform offers you all the training and education you need.
And yes, you can start for free. Your starter membership gives you a free website with free hosting.
The entire platform has all the tools you need, and enough training to keep you busy for years, lol. And if you wish to start with us, I’ll be there to help you every step of the way.

Hi Suzanne,
Had I gotten the chance to read your article earlier, I wouldn’t have joined David’s Funnel X ROI program.
It’s really expensive for a newbie like me.
I would much rather have joined your recommendation instead.
Ivan
Hi Ivan,
So sorry to hear if your experience. It is an expensive funnel, especially if you’re trying to make bigger commissions.
That’s the problem with these pay to play methods. Having to purchase all the levels takes a large upfront investment.
And unless you already have a huge email list, which you wouldn’t if you’re new, you’ll have to rely on Solo Ads. And they’re expensive too!
It’s never too late to join Wealthy Affiliate. And you can start for free!
Cheers

Hello Suzanne,
Thanks for the review on how this system works.
I was planning on purchasing one of the products but am totally inexperienced with online marketing.
Which other online business would you recommend for beginners?
Hi Johnpaul and thanks for your comment.
I’m happy you enjoyed my review. This isn’t something I’d recommend for a beginner. Even though they say it’s designed for newbies, it’s not as easy as you think.
Yes, he may provide done-for-you material, but you still won’t learn about the whole process and why you’re doing what you’re doing. And this is how they take advantage of beginners… because they don’t know any better.
I would honestly recommend Wealthy Affiliate. You can learn everything about online marketing from the ground up. You would have everything at your fingertips to build a solid foundation for your business, and learn many strategies to earn income. Then, if you chose to do email marketing as this product does, you can go ahead. But then you’ll know what to expect and how to do it properly.
If you have any more questions or need any help, please let me know. I’m here to help.
Cheers,
Suzanne
I’ve seen many of these programs advertised and have looked into a few.
Like you have stated, it is never as easy as they make it seem and unfortunately, most people go into it looking for instant riches.
Thanks for the in-depth review. I know it will be very useful to a lot of people.
Hi Yurii, and thanks for your comment.
They have a way of making it sound so easy, lol. But that’s good marketing on his part.
Unfortunately, more people lose money, than make it. They start the process, only to find out it’s not so easy, and they have to keep spending a lot of money on advertising to make anything at all.
I would recommend learning the proper way with Wealthy Affiliate, then someday you can develop your own sales funnel…:)
Cheers,
Suzanne
Hi Suzanne,
Love this and the way that it also incorporates into a landing page.
As usual full of great content.
Dave.
Hi Dave,
David Dekel has created a landing page as well as email swipes for his sales funnel. It’s an interesting product, but you need to be aggressive with leads to make any money. He recommends spending quite a bit on solo ads, so be prepared with a large advertising budget.
If you can afford all the upfront costs, and then hundreds at a time on solo ads, it could work for you.
Good luck,
Suzanne
Hey Suzanne! It is actually the first time I heard of Funnel X Roi and this all seemed pretty interesting and catchy to me.
What got me more about it is the idea of improving my email marketing skills, which David Dekel seems to do pretty well, as you suggested.
Thank you for this amazing article!
Heku
Hi Heku, and thanks for commenting.
Yes, it’s an interesting product, but please be careful if you’re not yet experienced with email marketing.
David does provide you with pre-made emails, but what happens if this system closed down. You’re left with nothing and still paying monthly fees for all the programs. You would need to know how to set up your own sales funnel.
I believe anyone wanting to buy into this system should have enough experience to balance the risk.
Thanks again,
Suzanne
These programs are really steep in price.
I appreciate your honest review on them. I think you’re right that they can work, but not for a beginner.
That’s a lot of money to invest up front that is easy to lose for the inexperienced.
Hi Nicole,
Yes, it’s quite an investment when you’re not sure it will work for you. And no refunds!
It may sound enticing for a beginner to think they can make this kind of money so quickly. But it just doesn’t work that way. I suppose if you have extra money to play with, then go ahead and take the risk. But I wouldn’t recommend it, lol.
Cheers,
Suzanne
Thank you for a good and honest review.
This indeed does not sound easy for a beginner, but a great deal for the more experienced marketer.
It sounds a bit expensive, but perhaps it’s the normal price for this kind of product.
Hi Johnny,
Yes, it’s pretty pricey to buy into all the products, especially when you can become a free affiliate to most of them if you promote them on your own.
David designed this funnel to help, but also to make his own commissions on all the member signups.
If you’re an experienced marketer and can risk the expense of it all, then you may want to try. But I truly believe beginners should stay away until they’ve learned how sales funnels work. And have the money to risk!
Cheers,
Suzanne
