Are EDCGold, Coastal Vacations
& other 2-up Programs "Dinosaurs"?
Are Direct Sales programs such as EDCGold, Coastal Vacations, Emerald Passport and others that use the 2-up (or 1-up for that matter) compensation plan becoming "dinosaurs" in the industry? It is possible that this is exactly what is happening with the introduction of newer compensation plans providing income to the new member on the very first sale.
2-up (and 1-up) compensation models, based on the Australian 2-up plan, have been around for years. Actually, they have been the cornerstone of Direct Sales programs (the likes of EDCGold, Coastal Vacations, Emerald Passport, etc) on the Internet... until recently. Although powerful looking at first glance, there is a significant disadvantage to the new member. Immediate income, or lack of it, has always been an issue with these comp plans.
In fact, for 95% of the people coming into these programs, they simply don't work! Most new members never even get qualified which means they never earn any money at all. The people who have traditionally made the most money are the big marketers with large marketing budgets and lists.
With the introduction of new compensation plans - such as the modified 2-up (used by Cruise to Cash - with a dynamic twist), 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 model only works when new members are actually getting qualified (giving up their two sales) and making additional sales consistently throughout the membership. Since this rarely happens, these programs (EDCGold, Coastal Vacations, Emerald Passport, etc.) require successful members to continue to recruit... to infinity. This works for that master marketer with all the assets, but leaves the "average guy" far behind, disappointed, disillusioned and often broke!
The whole system is flawed for the general person just trying to "make a buck" on the internet and many people fail and give the industry a bad mark because of it. Newer programs, such as the Cruise to Cash, 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.
Hence the popularity of "commissions on the first sale" model programs amongst new marketers and veterans "jumping ship" from EDCGold, Coastal Vacations, Emerald Passport, etc.... all looking for a better way. Often people who have never seen success before are now experiencing the joy of making money on the internet for the first time.
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!
