Downline vs Upline

Lets face it to make money on the net you need a Downline, but you need a upline to help you. Both downlines and uplines are important and you need both to be a success in making money. I will try to explain a little about both and let you decide for your self which is better to have. You may find like I have that all you need is a Downline.

An upline is a person or a few people under you. That person should be there for you all the time. Uplines are there to help you make money. Most of the time it is hard to find a upline to help you and be there when you need them. Uplines are so easy to get. You can find them all over the place. To see how good a upline is you should be able to email anyone in their Downline and ask questions. If a potential upline will not give you any information you should move on to someone else. You also need to beware of an upline who keeps all the money. For mlm an upline needs to be the following,

1.Needs to be a pro a mlm,
2.Must be knowledgeable about the product,
3.Must have a system that you can duplicate and has been tested and proven,
4.Must have a system for every type of distributor you recruit,
5.Need to be able to help downlines close prospects,
6.Needs to be with no more than 2 companies,so their time is not pulled in several directions,
7.Needs to have a quick start training manual to get you started fast,
8.Need to have regular contact with members and be motivated,
9.Needs to have a training call at least once a week and needs to be able to answer any questions you may have,
10.Needs to be proactive and lead be example.

You don't need a upline who is going to steal your leads. Here is a good way of finding out if the person you are thinking of joining under is good. Have a friend call and ask questions and if you get all the answers you need than by all means join.

Downlines are people who are under you. A Downline is someone who you are responsible in helping become a success. You need to be there for your Downline. Keep you Downline happy they will help you make money. I will give you some ideas to help your Downline and making sure your Downline does not quit on you. Here are some ways to help,

1.Give them a small check,
2.Get them some business cards,And 3.Give them a complete background about the product.

Here are a few more ways to help your Downline,

1.Show them your successful sales techniques,
2.Give them some of your resources and contacts,and
3.Pass along your experience which is the best thing you can give your Downline.

You need to be a teacher and a friend. As a leader of a Downline you need to be the following,

1.trust,your Downline needs to trust you,
2.Coherence,You and your Downline needs to be on the same page,
3.Competence,You need to know what you are doing,
4.Collaboration,You and your Downline need to get together with all ideas,
5.Competition,Hold a contest to get your Downline motivated,and
6.Contribution,

As an upline you need to take an active approach and sit on the sidelines.

Inconclusion, I hope I shed a little light on what is like to be an upline or what you need to do as a Downline. Now you can choose to be whatever you want to be. I feel that it is more easy having an upline than having a Downline. With an upline only you will make money, but not as fast as you would with a Downline. You will make your upline money and your Downline will make money. Which ever way you choose you will be a success in the long run. You may choose to have someone as your upline and also at the same time you will have a Downline. I wish you all the best in what ever you choose.

Good luck.
