In the world of
network marketing and
MLM, downline builder
programs and other
schemes promoted
under the guise of a
legitimate MLM system
are still quite
popular and highly
promoted by some
upline
groups.
In a nutshell, a
“downline
builder
program” can be
defined as an MLM
sponsoring system
that promises to
build a big part (or
all) of your downline
for you. You simple
pay a fee to sign up,
then supposedly sit
back and watch as
people are sponsored
under you. Your
actual participation
will be minimal,
other than paying an
ongoing monthly fee
for products or
services.
The thing to watch
out for is the
promise to build your
downline for you. In
legitimate network
marketing and MLM,
nobody will build
your downline for you
(in such a way that
you make real money).
In some cases, your
upline might place a
new associate or two
under you to help you
get started, but the
emphasis will be on
teaching you how to
build your own
business and make
money.
What you want is an
MLM system that
effectively teaches
you how to sponsor -
this is the key to
your success. In no
case will anybody do
all the work while
you sit back and
collect the
commission. That just
doesn’t
happen.
Promoters of downline
building programs
usually use fear of
loss as the great
motivator.
The first step in
this type of MLM
downline building
system is to sign up
for
free.
Then, you begin to
get emails from the
promoters telling you
how many people have
signed up after you.
IF they become a paid
member BEFORE you,
they will go into
someone else’s
downline. This is how
the fear of loss
tactic is used.
Unsuspecting people
fall for the pitch,
and pay up thinking
they’ll have a
downline of hundreds
within a week. This
sort of MLM system
for recruiting,
unfortunately, works
pretty well. In the
end, it just leaves a
lot of upset people
cursing MLM and
network marketing as
a
scam.
When you see
something promoted
this way, using fear
of loss as a big
motivator, run the
other way. People can
and do make money in
these deals, but
it’s an
unstable business and
these setups rarely
last for
long.
Best bet – find
a good network
marketing or MLM
opportunity with
strong upline
support, a solid MLM
system that includes
personal help from a
successful upline
team, and be prepared
to work. The
opportunity to make
real money with this
business is there
– if you do
your homework and
choose wisely.
