We look at the differences and similarities between two data collection home based businesses, Data Network Affiliates and Crowd Source International.
Entry Fee:
Data Network Affiliates: $0 to join
Crowd Source International: $100 + 24.99(first months fee)
If you enter 10 plates in 30 days you receive $50 back,
and you will get $25 back for each person (up to 3) you bring in who enters in 10 plates, so if you sponsor 3 people in 30 days you'll get your startup money back.
Monthly fee:
Data Network Affiliates: $0 per month includes your commissions for data entry,
DNA does have a monthly 29.99 ($97 setup fee)PRO plan that gives you first shot at products, faster data entry, 1,000 savings points (Discounted products etc), and first shot at exclusive products, and a Search engine optimization suite.
Crowd Source International: 24.99 optional. Required for your sales pages, data, and down line tracking. They are required by law not to require it, but you'll need to create your own sales pages, and add people by paper.
Payment for plates:
Data Network Affiliates: DNA offers you $2 for the 20 plates you enter, and up to $2 for the plates that 10 levels down.
Crowd Source International: Pays down 5 levels, and their compensation plan is a little less straight forward. You get paid .50 per plate for your entries. .25 for level 1, .50 for level 2, .75 for level 3, 1.00 for level 4 and 1.25 for level 5. You also get a bonus of up to .36 per plate if you sponsor 4 or more people The maximum amount of plates you or anyone below you can enter is 10. You are also required to sponsor 2 people before you can get paid till the 5 levels. (sorry if it's complicated that's as simple as I can put it).
Payment for other products:
DNA: Most of the commissions for their other products is $2 per sale 10 levels down, they do have some products that will pay a commission of up to $500. Sales aren't required.
Crowd Source International: You can get commissions if you get people to sign up to buy the data collected from the collection of plates. Sales aren't required
Income Guarantee:
Data Network Affiliates: $100,000 if you fill a 10x6 matrix with free affiliates. If you don't make $100,000 in 12 months Data Network Affiliates will pay you the difference.
Crowd Source International: None
Overall comparison:
Data Network Affiliates seems to be an easier option for recruiting as it costs nothing to join and has no monthly fees. In today's economy it's harder than ever to get people to pay money to sign up to network marketing, and have them stay in with the required payments. The startup fee has always been the hang-up for many, free with no monthly fee is a way to stop that objection. Although with crowd source international you get paid for more plates and data entry, I can foresee you having more people in your down-line in data network affiliates, as well as the opportunity to make more from the sales (yourself or others) of the products that Data Network Affiliates offers.
