Affiliate Funnel

The latest buzz on the net is a downline builder called Affiliate Funnel. A downline builder is a program based on a simple concept and it works if it is used correctly. The concept is to promote various programs through the downline builder's page including traffic resources or/and business opportunities. By promoting only one page you are able to send all the traffic you can generate to this page and thus eliminate advertising costs, time and effort by avoiding promoting each program separately. However, downline builders do not work for everyone because of many reasons such as:

a) People joining them only to promote their program to their downlines without providing them with advice on working traffic resources. In other words they are trying to sell instead of trying to build relations with their downline members.

b) Inactive downlines due to lack of teaching from their upline or the owners of the downline builder.

c) People joining them only for the traffic resources because the owners of the downline builder have already chosen which business opportunities will be included in the downline builder. This way, if they join these business opportunities, they are actually building the owners' business.

So, how is Affiliate Funnel different? Why should someone consider putting this downline builder to their marketing arsenal? First of all, Affiliate Funnel is run by two experienced, highly active, responsive and respected online marketers, Jon Olson and Mike Paetzold. This one alone guarantees that this program is here to stay and that the most effective traffic resources for such a program are included in it. More than that, all the above mentioned reasons that make a downline builder possibly ineffective are in Affiliate Funnel actually eliminated. Here is why:

The owners of this program strongly recommend and insist on building relations rather than trying to cold sell. This is a proven powerful strategy. As in any marketing area (online or offline) the people who are earning most of the money are the ones that put their effort in building relations, not in being persistent in convincing other people to buy from them. Just take a minute and think about it considering examples of the offline world: where would you buy from? People who are just claiming to be the best without taking the time to explain to you their methods of satisfying your current need or even without taking the time to analyze your problem or situation? I guess not. I am sure you would listen, take advice and finally buy from people who really care about your needs, people who would find the time to provide you with quality information and valuable solutions to your problems. In other words, you would buy from people who have built a healthy relation with you so that you finally can trust them.

Throughout the relations building concept not only do they provide their members with valuable (most of the time priceless) information and guidance, but they teach them how to do the same with their downline members, thus achieving a very important goal defined by the term "duplication". Duplication is very important, because through duplication the problem of inactive downlines is solved. Completely? No. There will always be people who are either not willing to learn or work or never will understand the concept of building relations.

But the really unique feature of Affiliate Funnel is that the owners have not included any business opportunity in this program. This means that you can promote YOUR business, not the owners' one. You will not be building anyone else's business, but YOURS. Does this mean that anyone who joins Affiliate Funnel will join your business too? Well, this is up to you. If you prove to your team that you have the value to be a leader they most probably will. If you just try to push them into your business, they will certainly not join it and the worse is that they will never pay attention to whatever you have to say (not to mention sell) in the future.
