Hello Jacob, nice to meet you too and thank you for posting your comment. I sympathise with your issues about maintaining downline numbers with the usual attrition problems. In over 20 years in the industry, almost entirely with one multi-product company, my wife and I had built a solid four figure monthly income which averaged around $1,500 a month. Although very handy as an additional income, but we were never able to devote the amount of time needed to build it to the next level and it took enough time and travel expense to keep what we had built going.
Although we had an average of about 300 people in our business in the best years there were still very few who actually actively sold product or built a business. The majority ended up purely as product users which provided a reasonably constant income but little expansion unless we were out on the road. Then not only did the rules change a few years ago but fuel costs climbed to over $9.00 a gallon in the UK making travelling for 'no shows' impractical. I too tried internet recruiting with little luck as, to my mind, any modern MLM business has be global and therefore have one common teaching and support system. The business plan of our original company required in-country sponsorship and support so building a global business was and still is a highly complicated operation over which you have little control, and yet the internet should make it simple to support anyone anywhere.
I had become hugely frustrated because I know that MLM/Network Marketing is still the best option for anyone, from any background, to have the opportunity to build a business for themselves and to create the financial freedom and security for their family which my wife and I have always tried, and wanted, to achieve. Then along came the Genie and we registered nearly a year ago just after the original Windows only Genie came to the UK. The company, MyNet Universe does provide Distributors with two generic, personalised, websites and everything needed from capture pages, banner ads, auto-reponders etc. to get anyone going without any additional expense. Also included is the use of the Genie Rocket, a video email and conferencing system, which is an amazing marketing tool. There is to nothing to stop you producing your own website and of course you can brand any of the Genies you give away with your own logo and link it to any website you desire. This is really important for businesses who can give Genies to their customers as a loyalty gift, and by branding their Genies with their logo effectively putting themselves on the front page of all the major search engines for just over $1 a day. Not only will they generate an additional income stream as their customers use their Genies, but they can then recruit other, even competing, businesses because they will benefit from the increased Genie activity being generated by those businesses.
Here is a link to the best marketing tool, the 7 minute business overview video. This link by-passes the capture page so you can go straight to the video and there is a second one explaining the Genie Rocket. If someone wants to know about the business, send them the video and let it do the work for you.

If you click on the Free Install tab it will take you through to the the main personalised generic website. If you go to the bottom of that site and click on Distributors you will see the level of support available and which is being enhanced all the time. In our first year nearly 4,000 distributors, globally, registered in our business. My sponsor, Simon Bookes who lives in Cheshire in the UK, earned over $360,000 in his first year from May last year, and is now the top earner in My Shopping Genie. That was all acheived with the old 'legacy' Genie and now we have the New web-base Genie working on both Mac and Windows platforms and the exciting new Genie Daily Deal facility, a Groupon type market place for smaller businesses. Exciting times!
I wish you every success in whatever you choose to do.
