Building your Downlines

There are different ways to earn money using the internet. One of the most popular ways of doing it is through an affiliate program or multi-level marketing program. The program's work by recruiting other people to work under you. Whatever they earn from the system, you will recieve a certain percentage of it. They can earn the same way if they recruit others to join the network in the same way that you did. Some MLM companies are paying up to third and fourth or even further tiers of downlines. ((See http://mnaff.url-Go.com for an example.)) Affiliate based opportunitys seem are definatly a lucrative business. But a lot of people are hesitant to join because they are afraid they will never build their downlines. However, it is actually very very easy to recruit downlines, if you know how to do it. Building a downline can provide you with residual income. That means that long after all your hard work, you can retire knowing that your downline will always be around working for you.

Step 1:
First I reccomend using Social Networking sites. Social networking sites were hit this decade. For some reason, it has lured half of all the internet users in the world to create their profile, build their own web page, and invite other friends to join the network. See, that's exactly how MLM works. And so if social networking sites were so popular, you might as well use it to find members to become your downline. If you have been using the internet for so long, chances are, you are already a part of a social networking site like MySpace. If you are, then all you have to do is to send an invitation email to your friends. Just count how many would respond positively upon your invitation. Some even PAY you to use them! Places like ZenZuu are paying their members for just doing the normal things like blogging and uploading photos. (See - http://www.zenzuu.com/journeyforself/signup.htm )for more information. If you sign up with that link (Its free) I can personally help you build your downlines. :) Ok, on to the next step.

Step 2:
Participate in Forums. Do you know that the very people you can recruit are chatting idly at forums? Select a forum that is very related to the product, the system, or the service that your MLM parent company is offering. If you actively participate in forums related to your business and build a good reputation, it will be easy for you recruit others to join you. Never spam a forum however, they will be all over you like piranas on dinner. Keep it under the radar. Cloak your affiliate ID's with shortened URL's or better yet, buy a domain to point to your URL. It is an affordable way to gain credibility.

Step 3:
Use member generator sites, tools, and software. Right now, a lot of internet and programming experts have seen the need of MLM marketers to build a strong downline for their business to flourish. For this purpose, several websites, tools, and programs were created to do exactly that. There are sites that offer referral exchanges and sites that allow the referral links and banners to be published. As for tools, there are downline software that can be used to manage, contact, and follow up prospects or members of your MLM business. For software of this nature check out: http://journeyforself.com/traffic.aspx

Step 4:
Submit to Search Engines. More often than not, online MLM businesses provide their members with their own splash page to gain more recruits. Use that link and advertise it on key places like Google, Overture, Yahoo, and others. You might need to create an entirely different landing page or generate a redirect URL for it, as some of these sites don't accept referral links. Also, there are some people who refrain from going to sites that are obviously a referral link because they do not want to be sold to. Again it is a small price to pay for a URL that points to your affiliate website, usually $6 to $20 a year.
