Kim,
I would like to make a couple of points regarding the Aussie Two Up pay plan. While I admittedly don't promote a company using this plan, I do have over 25 years of positive experience in MLM and have seen every sort of plan that was ever in existance.
The ATU has been the choice of many because of the true infinity payout it boasts. The mathematics of the plan are potentially enormous. Many proponents of binary plans claim they provide limitless depth, but this is not really the case as they (binaries) have pay caps.
There are two distinct reasons the ATU has not and will not become an elite pay plan.
First is its complexity. It is difficult for newcomers to understand and therein lies a major fault. I'm sure you recognize that the opportunity arena today is slanted against networkers. Couple this sometimes unhealthy distrust with a payplan whis is hard to understand and doesn't compensate a distributor for his first 2 sales and you have a pretty tough hill to climb. If you are promoting heavily onine, you don't really get a feel for the prospects level of expertise.
Then, just when you do find a pro who understands the plan and knows what you are talking about (the guy who actually does know your business better than you do) the second fatal flaw jumps up to bite your backside. I'm speaking of the UA (Uncle with Alzhiemers). This occurs when a distributor sponsors a ghost in one or both of their first 2 slots essentially cutting your leg off at the hip.
This happens all to often in an ATU plan. Third Dimension tried, with limited success, to eliminate this problem by rotating legs in and out of passup on 10 day rotating schedule. Problem is, if a newbie doesn't truly understand a two up, they are really going to be confused when you add rotation.
I hope you accept this in the spirit it is intended, and not as negativity. I do see Aussie Two Ups as probably the strongest mathematical model as far as raw numbers go. But, as I said thousands of times when showing a 9-4-2 model in the tried and true stairstep breakaway - "These are simply raw numbers, and can not be construed as will occur in the real world." Infinity passup programs will probably look different in the real world than when they are displayed in a plan.
Also keep in mind that the average MLM'r sponsors a total of 1.9 people in their entire business life.
Best of success
Bill Cornelius

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
