How To Choose Your Upline
Statistics say 95% of Internet Marketers don’t make any money
online. This sad failure rate will probably not improve in the near
future either because so many newbies, and old hands, are being
left without enough support from their upline or sponsors.
There are many sponsors, especially the very successful ones,
who don’t even bother replying emails from their downline. This
is a very worrying trend and it violates a very important principle
of network marketing which says that success comes by helping
others succeed. So how come some heavy hitters are successful
without helping the struggling members in their downline? Well,
it has been made possible by the internet and the enormous 24
hour global market it makes accessible, coupled with the vast
number of automated marketing tools.
Unlike the traditional offline network marketing where it was
practically impossible to sponsor someone into a downline
without meeting or speaking with them, the internet has made it
possible for heavy hitters to sponsor hundreds, and even
thousands of people, into their downlines without ever
communicating with them on a personal level.
Autoresponders are the order of the day. Many people join
affiliate programs after seeing ads in google, ezines, classifieds etc
without first exchanging emails with the sponsor. After paying
their monthly subscriptions, part of which the sponsors earns as
commission, for a few months they give up because they have little
or no success and probably never received an email or a call from
their sponsor. Of course the heavy hitting sponsor does not care
much about this because he or she has already earned good
commissions before they quit and can quickly replace them using
their huge automated marketing system working 24-7 to recruit more
people.
It is time internet marketers who have experienced this in the past
took their destinies into their hands and choose their upline or
sponsors instead of the other way round. How can I do that, I hear
you ask? Well, by demanding value for your money. That’s right,
your upline earns a commission out of your monthly subscriptions
so it is your right to receive good service in return. In this case the
service includes training, mentoring and answering your emails. It
is a great idea to receive and evaluate the service first before
paying and that is where free to join affiliate programs are very
useful.
How many of us will go into a restaurant, pay for the food first
and then walk out after waiting for about an hour for the food to
arrive. I dare say no one will and I believe we should see internet
marketing programs in the same way as we do a restaurant.
Receive the service, evaluate it, if you are happy with it then pay
for it otherwise complain and if possible have your bill waived.
So if you are in an affiliate program and you don't receive sufficient
help from your sponsor complain to the company and ask to be
reassigned. Stop paying your sponsors for a service you never
receive.
The great thing about free to join affiliate programs is that you
can really give the sponsor a test drive before you decide to join
his or her downline. Most affiliate webpages
have contact details
for the webpage owner, who would be your sponsor after you
join the program. So after you decide you want to join a
particular program, especially if it is not free to join, I suggest
you test your potential sponsor to ensure you will get a good
service if you join their downline. Ask them all the questions
you have and seek all the help you need and if you receive good
and valuable service then you can go ahead and signup.
If you are unhappy with the answers or help given, or you
don't receive a reply then try another affiliate's page. The best
way to do this is by entering the main URL of the company and
in most cases you'll be randomly sent to the website of an affiliate.
Ask the same questions and also note how quickly the sponsor
responds each time because you don't want to signup under
someone who takes one or two weeks to respond to your emails.
Keep trying different affiliate pages until you find a potential
sponsor you know will give you the support you need.
If it is a free program with an upgrade option I suggest you
signup for free initially and continuing testing your sponsor to
ensure you have indeed chosen the right one. Some sponsors
will respond to emails in an attempt to encourage their downline
to upgrade and after they upgrade the help dissipates, but only
the genuinely helpful sponsors will be able to pass rigorous
tests that involve offering lots of help and answering lots of
questions.
Your initial email may receive a good or average response but
after that the sponsor may become impatient and not bother
replying or may send an inadequate reply. That would
obviously be your cue to find another sponsor because you need
a sponsor who will be willing and patient enough to properly
answer your questions and genuinely help you. That is what
Multi-level marketing is about, achieving success by helping
those below you to succeed.
Summary:
1) Before joining affiliate programs send an email to the owner of
the webpage or the ad you saw. Ask all the questions you have
and seek to establish what help you'd receive after joining. Make
a note of the quality of the responses and the times it takes to
receive a response.
2) If unhappy with the potential sponsor go to the company's
main URL and you will be randomly assigned to another
sponsor's webpage. Ask the same questions and decide if
you want to signup under this person. Keep repeating this step
until you find a sponsor you are happy with.
3) Signup. If the program has a free option choose that option
first and continue seeking help from your sponsor. If you are
happy with the service you receive from your sponsor then
upgrade otherwise ask the company to reassign you to another
sponsor.
