Are 2-up programs such as EDCGold, Coastal Vacations "Dinosaurs"?

By: Sue McLaughlin

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 2-up plan can be lucrative ... if it can be duplicated throughout the membership. That means that every new member gets qualified and continues to get additional sales who also get qualified. Then you truly have the residual income working. This rarely happens which means that successful members (people making money) of EDCGold, Coastal Vacations, Emerald Passport, etc. and other 1-up/2-up programs must continually recruit ... forever. This fact means that the professional marketer with the skills, list and marketing budget will always have an edge over the regular person.

Online programs get a bad name because of the fact that people are sucked into the claims of these programs and then fail. In fact, the cards were stacked against them from the start with these comp plans.New programs, such as the Perfect Wealth Formula have created compensation plans that help to solve the major issues created by the 1-up/2-up model. These plans actually allow the new person to make money on the first sale as well as residually

Home business is supposed to be easier to start and less expensive to get up and running and these new programs are helping to make that a reality. By providing income on the first sale, the new member can help to bankroll his/her marketing with earnings early on. And, since the sponsor will benefit from the success of his/her members, there is a continued interest in their success. This is a team like atmosphere that introduced by the networking industry and is much more conducive to success.

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!
