Problems buiding your downline?

As almost every Affiliate or Networker sure knows, it may sometimes be hard to get a WORKING downline. It is often easy enough to get a couple of guys to sign up under You, but then...

Why do they STOP?!? How hard can it be for them to sign up a few names, when it was so easy for You?

During the last five or so years I have been involved in a lot of different projects. With a great variety of success. I have sold everything from telecommunication to vitamin pills for old ladies. The only thing common to these projects has been the fact that they all work as some kind of MLM or, in the worst cases, as a pure pyramide scam. Downlinebuilding.

So what have I learned?

- NEVER, ever invest a dime in a MLM or similar until You have a solid ground of resellers to stand on!

- Get experience and knowledge. There is nothing worth more than experience and knowledge of the program You currently are selling. You have to be able to answer the questions You get from people You try to sign up.

- Do not be afraid to fail. The problem is not necessary in You OR the product. There is a multitude of reasons why a project can fail.

So how do I achieve all that?

The cheapest way, of course, is to sign up for one of those gazillions of "free" programs out there. Scam or not. That way (with a bit of luck) You can obtain both a downline and experience in the field at the same time. Don't count on it to happen immediately, but in time You get one contact here and another there. Before You know it You have a few names. That is the beginning of a LIST. And if You have a list of contacts, You have the beginning of a working business.

Work only at one project at time. You cannot expect Yourself to have the ability to get a multitude of projects running with no previous experience. Not even WITH experience I recommend trying that.

When and if You get one program working properly, then start another. Don't forget working on the first one! And when You get someone to sign up, try to combine Your downlines. Be careful You don't scare away the ones You've managed to sign up!

AND: One of the easiest, cheapest and best tricks of all - keep in contact with Your downline! Encourage Your people!
