All About Downline Builders

What is a Downline Builder?

A downline builder is a special type of website that acts as a supplement to your advertising efforts, marketing efforts, lead building, and business building. 

The way a downline builder works is actually very simple. A person is presented with a list of programs to join. Upon joining each program, they find their affiliate link and add it to a form. When they save that form, all the programs in the downline builder now have their own affiliate id's. 

When they refer others to the downline builder, those people end up signing up to each of the listed programs under the person who referred to the builder. 

Most downline builders are smaller features of other programs. For example its very common for traffic exchanges and safelists to have downline builders inside their members area. Typically in these types of downline builders are filled with programs that relate to their membership site. 

So for example in a traffic exchange downline builder you will frequently find other traffic exchanges. Equally is true of safelist bownline builders - you will find other safelists in their downline. 

A typical downlie builder will look similar to what is below

Program 4: ___Please enter your affiliate url___
Program 5: ___Please enter your affiliate url___

Your affiliate url: http://someurl.com/?affid=your_username

The idea behind a downline builder is that you can promote one single site while getting signups on multiple other sites. 

Do downline builders really work?

I will be honest, most downline builders I have used have very limited success. The reason for that is as I mentioned above, most of these downline builders are nothing more than features of other programs. 

What ends up happening is someone joins a program, yet never ends up filling out the downline builder as they have no real interest in the other programs it offers - they joined to use one specific program - the one that contains the downline builder in the first place. 

So for example, someone joins a traffic exchange to use the traffic exchange and they completely ignore the downline builder.

Another problem is that the majority of downline builders, are targeted toward the website niche of the program which features the builder. What I mean is exactly what I explained above - a traffic exchange includes other traffic exchanges, a safelist includes other safelists. When it comes to building a business this means the downline builders are vastly building untargeted downlines in other programs - and whats worse is that most people who fill out these downline builders, never upgrade in the sites they join anyways, basically making the people who join you in other programs dead leads. 

A Downline Builder that Works

I found a downline builder online that is absolutely the exception to the above problems. 

The downline builder I am referring to is called "The Downliner". 

First of all The Downliner is not attached to any other programs, meaning its not merely the feature of some other site - it is a stand alone downline builder. You join it for one reason - to promote the programs it contains. This means when you refer other people to it, they join for one reason - to promote the programs. So you get ACTIVE referrals in your programs not simply dead signups.

Another great thing about The Downliner is that the majority of programs that it contains, are paid programs. This means not only are you making active referrals but you are also earning commissions in the programs they join. 

For example two of the programs in the downliner are Kulesearch and Safelist Genie. Both of these programs are paid programs. If someone joins them, one can expect they are going to spend money. That means you earn commissions when they signup to these programs under you! 

It of course doesn't end with these two programs, and not EVERY program in the downliner is a paid program. There are paid to click businesses listed, marketing softwares, network marketing businesses, marketing services, and a great deal of other things. Nearly 20 programs are currently listed. 

Of all the downline builders I have attempted to use, not one of them converts as well as this one does! It generates downlines, it generates leads, and it generates commissions. 

What makes this downline builder so successful and amazing is the options that it has that no other downline builder I have encountered has. 

Features Unique to The Downliner

Credits:

The most unique of all the features included in the downliner is that is contains a point system (sometimes referred to as a credit system). 

See the downliner has two promotional pages. First is the main referral link where people join you in the downliner. This is like any other referral based link. You refer a person and they join the downliner under you. The second is a custom splash page that rotates all the programs of the downliner for you. 

This is what your splash page looks like:
Splash PageThe reason I am explaining this is because of the point system. You see, When you refer a member you are given points (dependent upon your membership level) so the more active you are in your promotions the more you will benefit from The Downliner with Random referrals in all your programs.

When you reach 500 points you can convert the points to a Position. This means the more positions you have the more your Builder Splash page is advertised for you.

If you have 2000 points you can convert to 4 positions meaning your Builder Splash will appear 4 times in the regular advertising rotation.

Upgrades:

Another really awesome feature very unique to the downliner is their upgrade packages. Most of the time if you find a stand alone downline builder the upgrades basically just give you higher commissions for referring new people. However thats not the case with The Downliner.

Upgrading at the downliner potentially can give you all of the following - depending on what level you decide to upgrade to: 

  1. 5,000 Mailing Credits per month @ RoyalMailz, ViralProfitMailer and 4aces Mailer
  2. 5,000 Advertising Credits @ ViralAdHub
  3. 1,500 Credits @ IM-Toolkit Social Exchange
  4. 1 Month Membership @ QuickClicker (Manual Exchange Tool)
  5. Random Referrals
  6. 5 Starting Positions

Honestly as I have said throughout this entire article, I have used many many different downline builders over the years. Some have been stand alone downline builders, others have been mere features inside other membership sites. 
NONE have converted as well or brought me as many profits as The Downliner. 
In my opinion anyone who reads this and doesn't at least test it for a week or two, is doing themselves a VAST disservice. This program is AMAZING and I do NOT say such things lightly.
