There are numerous home based business programs out in the
vast sea of the Internet but there is one type in
particular that can be a downfall for many new
entrepreneurs if they are not careful. They are usually a
more expensive program to join, but that is not the problem
with them for the most part. We will discuss this type of
home based business a little further.
They are sometimes referred to as a 2up program. What does
that mean?
Basically, it means a 2up program has a compensation plan
where you, as a new member, have to pass up the first 2
sales to your trainer or mentor to qualify for earning any
money. Once you have made 2 sales you are now qualified to
earn money and the 3rd sale you make will go into your bank
account. Great! Now just like your trainer received your
first 2 sales, your new people (the 3rd sale and beyond)
have to pass up their first 2 sales to you now. Fantastic!
It continues like this forever, so it looks good on paper
because you will earn a lot of money this way.
Sounds good so far, right?
Well, unless you want to compete with your trainer and all
of the people that join your business, then the 2up program
may not be for you. The first problem is many people don't
make it past their 2nd sale because their advertising
budget runs out or they just don't quite know how to do
Internet marketing yet. It also discourages team work
because the people that you sponsor become your competition
after they pass up their first 2 sales to you. What
motivation does your trainer have to work with you now? You
are not bringing them any additional revenue. Their
incentive is gone. I was in a couple of 2up's before and I
did not like the fact that good people that you bring in to
the business become your competition and your trainers no
longer have any incentive to work with you or your team.
On the other hand, there are a lot of people that do earn
good money with these types of programs. Some examples of
these programs are: Coastal Vacations, EDC Gold, Liberty
League, Emerald Passport, Advantage Conferences and
Passport to Wealth.
They look good on the surface because you have the ability
to make a tremendous amount of money if you can get past
the first 2 sales, which is the downfall for the majority
of people that join the 2up programs. The average person in
the home based business or MLM arena only make 2-2.5 sales,
so when a new person has to pass up their first 2 sales to
their trainer or mentor they have already given up because
of all the work they put into those first 2 sales without
earning a cent.
Generally, if the average person looking into this type of
home based business understands the compensation plan, the
first obstacle is convincing them that they have to wait
until their 3rd sale before they get paid any money at all.
That just adds to the difficulty in marketing the program
for the majority of people. Please just make sure you do
your homework if you are considering any of these 2up
programs (Coastal Vacations, EDC Gold, Liberty League,
Emerald Passport, Advantage Conferences and Passport to
Wealth, etc.) if you truly want to build a business that is
focused on team work.
There are other programs on the Internet that do provide
you with a high income potential and you get paid instantly
on your very 1st sale.
I hope this information was simple and clear enough for you
to do your due diligence when you are looking into these
types of companies. Look for a MLM or home based business
that you feel good about and that builds true team work
because that type of business will be built on a foundation
of stone.
