Are EDCGold, Coastal Vacations & other 2-up Programs "Dinosaurs"?

Are EDCGold, Coastal Vacations, Emerald Passport and other 1-up/2-up Direct Sales programs declining in popularity on the Internet? With the introduction of newer compensation plans that provide income to the new member on the first sale (and every sale thereafter), it is entirely possible that this is exactly what is happening!

The Australian 2-up plan which is the basis for the more recent 1-up and 2-up plans has been used in online programs for years. Most Direct Sales programs (such as EDCGold, Coastal Vacations, Emerald Passport, etc.) used this type of compensation plan until recently. It is often advertised as a very powerful program but there are hidden problems for the new member. The extended amount of time without income at the start has always been the major issue with this plan.

There are only a few people who every succeed with these types of plans - of course there is always that exception that fuels the sales in every one of these programs. In truth, about 95% plus fail because they don't ever get qualified. The people who succeed at these types of programs are often the ones that have succeeded at other programs and moved on... not very often the "new marketer".

With the introduction of new programs that reward people on the first sale and every sale thereafter such as the Perfect Wealth Formula, the traditional 1-up and 2-up programs such as EDCGold, Coastal Vacations, Emerald Passport, etc. appear to be on the decline. Although the 2-up/1-up comp plans have long preached "residual income from multiple paylines", reality for most people who join these programs is far different.

The only way the a 2-up plan is really successful is when all members (or members that make the effort) are actually getting qualified and consistently making sales for themselves. This will actually create a "residual" income of sorts... income from the efforts of others. However, since the largest percentage of folks in 1-u/2-up programs (e.g. EDCGold, Coastal Vacations, Emerald Passport, etc.) don't even get qualified, much less make sales for themselves, there is no residual. in fact, to make money, people have to become professional recruiters forever... which means that the regular person is left behind, again.

For a guy who is just trying to make some money on the Internet, this 1-up and 2-up system just doesn't work. Odds are that he/she will fail and the word spreads that nobody can succeed online. Newer programs, such as the Perfect Wealth Formula, have been striving to fix this problem and have come up with alternatives that actually compensate the new marketer immediately as well as residually.

These give that new person a chance to actually be successful without having a huge bankroll to spend on startup. After all, home business is supposed to be "less" expensive to get started in! The playing field has been leveled and new people, who are flocking to the internet at increasingly rapid speeds, are happy to be making money for themselves as well as for their sponsor. This actually recreates the team like feeling that is prevalent in MLM with a far better income potential.

This is the major reason that the "first sale commissions" programs such as the Perfect Wealth Formula are causing new marketers to get excited and veterans to leave EDCGold, Coastal Vacations, Emerald Passport, etc. Everyone is looking for the best way to make some money with reasonable effort. In fact, the industry is seeing people who have never succeeded finally begin to make some money on the Internet.

So, are EDCGold, Coastal Vacations, Emerald Passport, etc. dinosaurs? Not yet. But, judging by the numbers of ex-members who are tired of throwing away time and money only to make their sponsors rich and are looking for something better, the "world is changing". There is finally a different option for the average guy just wanting to make an extra buck!
