Downline Structure Guide:

Before we discuss recruiting & downline, think about yourself. Are you a recruiter or are you a sponsor Believe it or not, there is a very big difference between these two terms, and this difference could easily be the key factor in your success at your business.

A recruiter spends all his/her time "signing up" people, and then moves on to "sign up" eve more. The recruiter is always in a big rush to go out and refer as many people as possible, in the hope that they will all do the same as him/her. Often, these people are fantastic at getting people to join their mim home business affiliate programs, yet never seem to succeed at that business.

The sponsor on the other hand spend less time promoting and more time talking to his/her downline, answering questions, solving problems and helping their downline to start their business also. The sponsor believes that every person who joins their mim home business affiliate programs deserves the right to succeed, and follows through on that belief by training, educating and duplicating what has been proven as successful.

Sponsoring a person into your business is a commitment to three different things.

Your business

Your downline

Yourself

It is extremely rare to be in the mim home business affiliate programs and never be asked a question from a downline member. In fact, the majority of people are asked questions every single day. The reason that your downline ask you is because they do not know the answer themselves. It is your role, as their sponsor to help them learn the answers, and help them develop their business.

In the Internet Marketing business, there is no such thing as "a natural". The only way people become great at what they do, is by spending time doing it. You may be able to refer 100 people in a day, but are you able to teach those 100 people how to do the same as you A recruiter would look at them and wait to see who is "good enough", a sponsor however, would stop what they are doing and begin to teach those 100 people how to do they same they did.

A true sponsor does not worry about how many people is on his/her first level, because he/she can see the power in helping others. A recruiter is so busy getting new people on his/her first level that he has completely ignored all the ones that quit because they did not get any help.

There are 2 questions that everybody needs to ask themselves if they want to be successful in this business.

Are you a recruiter or a sponsor

If you feel you are a recruiter, do not worry, it is easy to change. Get to know your downline, contact them regularly with updates and information, volunteer to help them.

If you want to reach your goals, you need to follow 2 extremely simple steps.

1. BE A SPONSOR

2. ALWAYS BE A SPONSOR

-----------------------------------

You will have most probably heard the term downline before. In fact, if you look around all the Ads floating around cyberspace, you may notice that the word "downline" is one of the most mentioned words you will see. It is unfortunate that many people do not understand the true meaning of the word.

A downline is a tree or structure of people which you have under you in a program or business. This tree can often consist of many different levels, ranging from 1 to unlimited. There are many types of downline structures. Below you will see examples of the 2 main types of downlines on the Internet today.

REGULAR (Unlimited Width X Fixed Depth)

These are the most common type of downline structure you will come across. Your Company uses a downline structure like this. You can have an unlimited amount of people on each level, however, you are limited to a number of levels deep you can have. You Company for example allows you to have unlimited members per level, down to 15 levels below you. In a downline structure like this, you have the opportunity to virtually have a downline or any size.

FORCED MATRIX (Fixed Width X Fixed Depth)

Forced matrix downlines use a fixed structure. In a forced matrix downline, you are restricted to a fixed number of people you can have under you per level, down to a fixed number of levels.

Example: A 3x7 Forced matrix. In a 3x7 forced matrix, each member is limited to only 3 people directly below them. This continues down to level 7. The downline structure of a full 3x7 matrix would look like this.

Level 1: 3 people

Level 2: 9 people (3x3=9)

Level 3: 27 people (9x3=27)

Level 4: 81 people (27x3=81)

Level 5: 243 People (81x3=243)

Level 6: 729 people (243x3=729)

Level 7: 2187 people (729x3=2187)

Total number of people in a full matrix: 3279 people.

The advantage of having a forced matrix downline, is that you are able to benefit from what is known as "spillover". Because you are limited to a fixed number of people below you (in the above example, that number is 3), after you fill those 3 positions, any new people you refer will automatically "spill" over and fill positions below you. This spilling effect is called "spillover". You benefit from this, because it continues to fill your matrix, and your downline benefit because they can get referrals placed under them by their upline.

It is important to remember that your downline is not just a list of names who are there to make you money. You need your downline just as much as they need an upline. They are your partners, your team members and hopefully your friends. Be sure to read the page on MENTORING for more information on downline support.

PERSONALLY FORCED MATRIX (Fixed Width X Fixed Depth)

By far the best Matrix design is the personally forced matrix. "Personally" means all of the people whom you sponsor will go in your own downline. "Forced" means you can have only so many referrals on each level, and then they are forced down to the next level.

For instance, lets say you are only allowed five people on your mim home business affiliate programs first level. If you refer six, that sixth person will be "forced" down to the first position on your second level. This means that person is your second level referral, but a free referral for someone on your first level. Your first level referral just got a free referral from whats known as "Spill Over". That sixth referral of yours spilled over to your second level and under one of your first level referrals.

You will get Spill Over from those above you, just as your referral got one from you. In addition, your referrals will get referrals of their own which will also help fill your downline. These will result in three different forces working to fill your downline: You, those above you, and those you below you.
