Will This Team Build Work?

I've said this before, but I'll say it again - team builds are popular!

You will have noticed countless programs out there which are building
a team in this program or that, I'm working with a great team at the
moment (more info here) and the concept makes so much sense. Most of
the people I speak to who are trying to make a living online are fed
up with never being able to fill their matrix, or getting so close to
making a success of it when things go wrong and their matrix falls
apart, or becomes 'stuck'. Tired of the big hitting gurus always being
at the top of the board and at the top of the earnings pile. When a
team works together, properly ie. building the team evenly so everyone
gets their share of the pie, and not just building an even bigger team
for yet another guru at the top - then it benefits everyone and restores
faith in this industry.

So it was with interest that I signed up for yet another team build
yesterday - this is still in pre-launch so nothing to pay yet, and of
course it remains to be seen whether this proves to be successful or
not, but as I have nothing to lose I consider it to be worth a go. At
this stage the only requirement to receive 'payout' (which presumably
won't happen till after the launch and members have upgraded) is to
refer 3 free members or get 150 hits to my url:

So, easy to qualify, but will any payout be worth it? Watch this space,
I'll update this as the build progresses.

Feel free to do me a favour, and maybe yourself as well, by taking a look!

Feeder Programs - Are They Worth It?

Is it worth joining a feeder program? A feeder program
is usually a low-cost alternative for getting to where
you want to be ie. pay your low entry fee, recruit a
number of others, and when you 'cycle' you get a paid
entry into the target program.

Some would say that they are not worth bothering about,
by the time you've recruited the required number of
referrals and take any advertising into account, you
would be better off just paying the extra money to get
straight into the program you actually want to join.

So what are the advantages of using a feeder? The most
obvious one is the price, which is usually a fraction
of the cost of the target program. Another advantage is
often a re-entry on cycling, which ultimately creates
multiple positions within both companies, but this is
not always as desirable as it sounds - you may end up
with numerous positions all with different id's which
all need to be administered separately, which can be
time consuming.

But multiple positions means multiple income opportunities,
which is always our goal as marketers. And multiple cycles
brings residual income - income from the feeder program
can either be cashed out or used to buy more positions,
which is what we are doing with our teambuild in DHKwik,
or you can gift these to people - friends, family, those
less fortunate than yourself who could use some extra
income - or even gift them to charities. The possibilities
are numerous.

On balance, I think feeder programs, managed correctly,
are a great idea, and one that you can use to your, and
your team's, advantage.
