Infinity downline is an interesting addition to my reviews as it’s compensation plan is different from what I have seen so far.  In fact I actually think it’s quite good.  Normally I look at how many people one must recruit in order to break even and with this “reverse 2 up” system you break even after your first recruit.

Of course it’s impossible to get any better than this.  I have seen many some forced matrices that allow you to break even with 2 and up until then that’s as low as I thought it would ever get, but this reverse 2 up system has made it possible to break even with 1.

Basically you pay $25 per month to be a member of Infinity downline.  I won’t bother talking about the “products” as nobody really cares.  Just some e-book and how-to videos etc (essentially information).  They just provide that in order to stay legal.

Once you recruit someone their $25/month goes directly to you.  So with just 1 recruit you are breaking even.  Your 2nd and 4th recruits get passed up to your sponsor so you aren’t actually in profit until you have 3 recruits.  Don’t let that put you off, as this passing up of recruits is necessary in order to have the leverage effect that everyone wants with MLM.

Every recruit from your 5th onwards will be yours to keep forever.

So the passing up process also happens in your benefit.  Your 1st, 3rd and 5th onward recrutis will pass up to your THEIR 2nd and 4th recruits.  Those 2 recruits will also in turn do the same thing.  So essentially everyone only needs to get 2 recruits to create a snowball effect.

The only drawback to this system, perhaps, is their is no forced matrix concept.  Which means there is no chance of “spillover” from your upline.  Of course your upline will be motivated to help you get your first 2 recruits as they don’t make any money until you have 2 so there is that possibility.  Therefore the lack of spillover may not be such a problem.

The main thing I don’t like about infinitydownline.com is that it’s a monthly fee program.  I haven’t had any good experiences with monthly payment schemes.  In all my experiments, I found that monthly payment programs don’t last long term which is the main thing preventing me from trying a monthly program again.  However, if I were to try another one I think I would try one that uses this “reverse 2 up” system, as I like being able to break even after only 1 recruit.  That should certainly help retention rates (the biggest problem with these online schemes).

Another thing that makes me suspicious is the fact that the owners of Infinity Downline don’t appear to be making any commissions off the members efforts.  Everyone passes their 2 referrals up to their sponsor but that’s as far as it goes.  The only money the admins are making would be from their own personal recruiting efforts.  That is very puzzling to me.

Perhaps there is a monthly admin fee that isn’t mentioned on the site anywhere.  But if there isn’t and it’s just a straight $25 payment then this is very strange, as no one makes a business where only the sales force make money and the company itself makes nothing from the efforts of the sales force.

All in all this scheme isn’t so bad from a strictly mathematical/compensation point of view.  Like all schemes there isn’t really any product that anyone wants.  This is just a legal way to get people to give each other “cash gifts”.  If some company offered the reverse 2 up system with a product that people actually need and use I would be all over that.   However, that is highly unlikely to ever happen.
