Downline vs Upline

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,

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.

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.
