A "downline builder" is a program that allows you to enter your affiliate URL's for all your different programs (or the programs the owner specifies) and promote them all at once by promoting just that one website.
Now that sounds like something that could be useful, doesn't it?
One website to promote... and you're building your downlines in all of your programs at the same time! What could be better?
But let's take a closer look at what's really happening.
Suppose you sign up for a downline builder that features ten different programs.
You have a choice... do you join all TEN programs (and immediately create Multiple Streams of Expenses)... or do you join just ONE of those programs and focus entirely on that one program?
If you said, "Just one"... you've been paying attention!
BUT... if you join just one program... and add your affiliate URL to the downline builder... and start promoting that downline builder website... that means when someone sees your website you have just a 10% chance of them joining YOUR program and a 90% chance of them being distracted AWAY from yours and joining one of the OTHER nine programs promoted on the website that YOU'RE promoting!
If the law of averages works in this situation (and it always does!)... you have just weakened your own advertising efforts by a whopping 90%!!!
You are giving 9 out of every 10 sign-ups to someone else!
Wouldn't it make much more sense to promote a website that ONLY has YOUR program advertised?
Of course it would!
But what if you DID join all ten of those programs? Wouldn't you make money then as other people joined the programs you had listed on your downline builder website?
Let's think about that...
Ten programs at an average per month cost of just $20 each would add $200 to your monthly expenses... BEFORE you even spent ANY money promoting your downline builder website!
So the ongoing cost of that concept is HUGE!
But will it work? Will it make money for you?
NO! Why not? Because when other people sign up for the downline builder from your website, they can just replace your affiliate URL's with their own! You make nothing!
Downline builders are a good idea IF...
1.) You're trying to build more than one program... which is a BAD idea.
2.) You actually own the downline builder and you want to collect email addresses from the database.
Otherwise downline builders are simply another distraction from your business... and a VERY expensive distraction at that!
How can you protect yourself?
How can you stop being a victim?
Just remember this... if you're going to spend your available time, effort, energy, and resources promoting YOUR business... make sure you're ONLY promoting YOUR business!
Don't waste your advertising assets promoting a bunch of links for someone else!
It's not easy to get people to stop what they're doing and visit your website.
When you get them to do that... don't show them some website that's full of distractions!
Show them ONE business and let them know that you believe in that ONE business and you're focusing 100% of your efforts on that ONE business!
YOUR business!!!
