Building a Downline
One of the keys to having success with multi level marketing (MLM) programs
is to build a huge downline. Let me give you a couple of examples of this.
If you have a look at my Business Opportunities page you will see
programs such as the Plugin Profit Program,
Empowerism and
SFI. In each of these
programs, building a downline is a major key to being successful. For example,
each person who you sponsor in Empowerism will earn you an instant payment of $20
and a recurring payment of $7 per month. Plus anyone who signs up for Empowerism
under one of your downline members will also earn you a recurring income of an
extra $1 per month.
Similarly, for the Plugin Profit Site, each member that you sponsor will earn you
a recurring income of $10 per month from host4Profit, in addition to your earnings
from the other programs included as part of Plugin Profit.
Another place that downline building is crucial, is with traffic exchanges. Most
traffic exchanges give you credit every time one of your downline surfs. This can
really add up. I currently have such a good downline in some of the traffic
exchanges that I never actually have to surf to earn credits.
So, what are the best ways to build a downline? I'll tell you about some of the
methods that have worked best for me in the past. Some of these methods are
free and others cost money.
 Home Income Team (HIT) -
This is a great site that offers a downline builder for all the main traffic exchanges,
home business opportunities and other tools. They also provide training and
lots of Empowerism splash pages and lead capture pages that can be used to help build
your Empowerism downline. If you are already a member of Empowerism, you can
sign up with the Home Income Team for Free here If not you can sign up using
this link, but you
will be required to join one of the Premium business opportunities in the site to
get a HIT account.
Pay Per Click -
Use the signup page for the program you are trying to build a downline for, or even better
use a page you made yourself to help you stand out from the competition (or one of the pages
from the HIT program described above) and advertise in the search engines. This is one of
the best ways to build a downline as you are targetting people who are actually looking
for an opportunity, provided you pick the right keywords. Find out all you need to know
about PPC Search Engine Marketing here
Profit Rally -
this is a very effective way to build and recruit for building downlines and includes
downline builders for many of the major traffic exchanges, business opportunities
such as Empowerism and SFI, safelists and more. You can also add 2 of your own
opportunities (or 6 if you are a PRO member).
All you need to do is join
Profit Rally
for free and set up your program IDs for each of the business opportunities
and traffic exchanges that you are a member of. If you aren't already a member of
some of the programs, you have the option of joining up under your sponsor. Once
you have everything set up, all you need to do is advertise one of the many
splash pages or sign up pages provided by Profit Rally, using traffic exchanges,
your website or whatever method of advertising you choose.
Traffic Hoopla - this is also free to join and allows you to build your
downlines in all the best traffic exchanges and safelists. Every week Traffic
Hoopla compiles a report of the best traffic exchanges and safelists, based on
their extensive testing. They publish the top 5 of each on their website and list
the others in alphabetical order. You can also optionally purchase a full detailed report
for a small fee.
In a similar way to Profit Rally, all you need to do, is sign
up for a free account with Traffic Hoopla and set up your IDs for all the traffic
exchanges that you are a member for. After this, advertise one of their splash
pages or sign-up pages on the traffic exchanges or using another method of
advertising. I managed to build a substantial downline in Traffic Hoopla by
advertising the top traffic exchanges, as traffic exchange surfers are generally
interested in knowing what the top traffic exchanges are! As well as using Traffic
Hoopla for downline building, you can also make sure that you are surfing on the
best traffic exchanges, based on their list.
Instant Buzz -
This is a free program that you can quickly download. It becomes part of your Internet
Explorer toolbar and displays non intrusive text ads while you surf. Every time you
view a different web page you accumulate advertising credits, which allow your own
text advert to be displayed on other people's browsers.
Forum Networking -
There are thousands of discussion forums on the internet, on every topic you could possibly imagine.
Most discussion boards allow posters to attach a "Signature" with their post containing
additional information about themselves, such as their name, URL and sometimes even an advertisement.
By visiting a few of these forums regularly and participating in the discussions, asking and
answering questions, you can build up trust with other forum members, whilst at the
same time getting free exposure for your website (or your signup URL for Empowerism,
Profit Rally, SFI, The Plugin Profit Site or whatever you choose).
My favourite forum is the Warrior forum. This is a busy internet marketing forum, full of
all types of people with an interest in internet marketing, including those who make
millions on the internet. As well as getting lots of great advice in this forum, I
have made lots of new contacts and got quite a few signups for my programs and visits
to my website along the way. Just try to make a useful contribution to whatever forums
you join - be sure to read the forum rules and don't spam!
Your own website & list-
Finally, let's not forget - your own website. If you have your own website and are promoting it
ensure that you have a place where visitors can sign up for all the relevant programs that
you are a member of.
If you also have an ezine or maintain a mailing list, be sure to have a sign
up form on every page on your site and if possible, offer a free gift for signing up. You can
then periodically email your list to tell them about the programs that you are a member of
If you don't have your own website, You will find information here about how to start your own website and
how to build a list.
Or you can signup to the Plugin Profit Site and
get your own website, including your own 400 day ezine & access to the Warriors Forum.
Finally, don't forget to download your free copy of the E-book Follow Up to Wealth
This book gives you lots of resources and ideas for building your downlines in programs such as
Empowerism.
