TrendBow fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

TrendBow’s website domain (“trendbow.com”), was privately registered on July 5th, 2023.

As of June 2024, SimilarWeb tracked top sources of traffic to TrendBow’s website as the Dominican Republic (23%), Russia (22%), Germany (20%) and Ukraine (6%).

While not definitive, whoever is running TrendBow probably has ties to one of those countries.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Referral Commissions

TrendBow pays a 38% to 84% referral commission on newly recruited affiliates. Specific referral commission rates are not disclosed.

A 5% referral commission appears to be paid on recruitment by personally recruited affiliates (level 2).

Residual Commissions

TrendBow pays residual commissions via a 2×18 matrix.

A 2×18 matrix places a TrendBow affiliate at the top of a matrix, with two positions directly under them:

These two positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (four positions).

Levels three to eighteen of the matrix are generated in the same manner, with each new level of the matrix housing twice as many positions as the previous level.

Positions in the matrix are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of TrendBow affiliates.

Residual commissions are paid as a percentage of monthly subscription fees paid by affiliates recruited into the matrix:

  • Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4 and 2.5% on levels 5 and 6
  • Double Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4 and 2.5% on levels 5 to 7
  • Copper Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4 and 2.5% on levels 5 to 8
  • Bronze Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4, 2.5% on levels 5 to 8 and 3% on level 9
  • Silver Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4, 2.5% on levels 5 to 8 and 3% on levels 9 and 10
  • Gold Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4, 2.5% on levels 5 to 8 and 3% on levels 9 to 11
  • Platinum Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4, 2.5% on levels 5 to 8 and 3% on levels 9 to 12
  • Diamond Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4, 2.5% on levels 5 to 8, 3% on levels 9 to 12 and 3.5% on level 13
  • Double Diamond Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4, 2.5% on levels 5 to 8, 3% on levels 9 to 12 and 3.5% on levels 13 and 14
  • Triple Diamond Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4, 2.5% on levels 5 to 8, 3% on levels 9 to 12 and 3.5% on levels 13 to 15
  • Star Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4, 2.5% on levels 5 to 8, 3% on levels 9 to 12, 3.5% on levels 13 to 15 and 4% on level 16
  • Super Star Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4, 2.5% on levels 5 to 8, 3% on levels 9 to 12, 3.5% on levels 13 to 15 and 4% on levels 16 and 17
  • Legend Arrow ranked affiliates earn 2% on levels 1 to 4, 2.5% on levels 5 to 8, 3% on levels 9 to 12, 3.5% on levels 13 to 15 and 4% on levels 16 to 18

Note that TrendBow affiliates who spend more in membership fees can bypass the company’s earlier ranks:

  • TrendBow affiliates who sign up with the Social Pack unlock up to level 7 of the matrix (equivalent Double Arrow rank)
  • TrendBow affiliates who sign up with the Notorious Pack unlock up to level 8 of the matrix (equivalent Copper Arrow rank)
  • TrendBow affiliates who sign up with the Influence Pack unlock up to level 9 of the matrix (equivalent Bronze Arrow rank)
  • TrendBow affiliates who sign up with the Prestige Pack unlock up to level 10 of the matrix (equivalent Silver Arrow rank)

Matching Bonus

TrendBow pays a Matching Bonus vi a unilevel compensation structure.

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

TrendBow caps the Matching Bonus at four unilevel team levels.

The Matching Bonus is paid as a percentage of residual commission earned across these four levels based on rank:

  • Double Arrow ranked affiliates earn a 3% Matching Bonus on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates)
  • Copper Arrow ranked affiliates earn a 5% Matching Bonus on level 1
  • Bronze Arrow ranked affiliates earn a 10% Matching Bonus on level 1
  • Silver Arrow ranked affiliates earn a 10% Matching Bonus on level 1 and 5% on level 2
  • Gold Arrow ranked affiliates earn a 10% Matching Bonus on level 1, 5% on level 2 and 3% on level 3
  • Platinum Arrow and higher ranked affiliates earn a 10% Matching Bonus on level 1, 5% on level 2, 3% on level 3 and 2% on level 4

Leadership Bonus

TrendBow takes 3% of company-wide revenue and places it into a Leadership Bonus pool.

The Leadership Bonus pool is split between Gold Arrow and higher ranked affiliates as follows:

  • Gold Arrow ranked affiliates receive a share in 20% of the Leadership Bonus pool
  • Platinum Arrow ranked affiliates receive a share in 18% of the Leadership Bonus pool
  • Diamond Arrow ranked affiliates receive a share in 15% of the Leadership Bonus pool
  • Double Diamond Arrow ranked affiliates receive a share in 12% of the Leadership Bonus pool
  • Triple Diamond Arrow ranked affiliates receive a share in 12% of the Leadership Bonus pool
  • Star Arrow ranked affiliates receive a share in 12% of the Leadership Bonus pool
  • Super Star Arrow ranked affiliates receive a share in 8% of the Leadership Bonus pool
  • Legend Arrow ranked affiliates receive a share in 3% of the Leadership Bonus pool

Infinity Bonus

The Infinity Bonus pays up to 9% on subscription sales volume generated by a TrendBow affiliate’s downline.

  • Bronze Arrow ranked affiliates earn a 2% Infinity Bonus
  • Silver Arrow ranked affiliates earn a 4% Infinity Bonus
  • Gold Arrow ranked affiliates earn a 5% Infinity Bonus
  • Platinum Arrow ranked affiliates earn a 6% Infinity Bonus
  • Diamond Arrow ranked affiliates earn a 6.75% Infinity Bonus
  • Double Diamond Arrow ranked affiliates earn a 7.5% Infinity Bonus
  • Triple Diamond Arrow ranked affiliates earn an 8% Infinity Bonus
  • Star Arrow ranked affiliates earn an 8.5% Infinity Bonus
  • Superstar Arrow ranked affiliates earn an 8.75% Infinity Bonus
  • Legend Arrow ranked affiliates earn a 9% Infinity Bonus

TrendBow don’t specify how the Infinity Bonus is paid out. Typically however Infinity Bonuses are paid out as a coded bonus either across an entire downline or the last level paid out on.

Given TrendBow pays residual commissions via a matrix, I suspect the Infinity Bonus is paid out on the unilevel team in a coded manner (i.e. higher ranked TrendBow affiliates earn the difference between their Infinity Bonus rate and that of their lower-ranked downlines).

Joining TrendBow

TrendBow affiliate membership costs between 79 to 4999 USDT and then 21.95 to 54.95 USDT a month.

  • Profile Pack – 79 USDT and then 21.95 to 54.95 USDT a month
  • Social Pack – 299 USDT and then 21.95 to 54.95 USDT a month
  • Notorious Pack – 799 USDT and then 21.95 to 54.95 USDT a month
  • Influence Pack – 1999 USDT and then 21.95 to 54.95 USDT a month
  • Prestige Pack – 4999 USDT and then 21.95 to 54.95 USDT a month

The more an affiliate pays in membership fees the higher their income potential through TrendBow’s compensation plan.

TrendBow Conclusion

Although it’s set up with a retail offering, TrendBow is still pretty obviously a pyramid scheme.

  • TrendBow fails to provide details about its purported AI tools, including ownership and development details
  • TrendBow fails to provide retail pricing
  • TrendBow fails to provide the difference between its three retail pricing tiers
  • TrendBow exclusively uses cryptocurrency to accept payments

With AI being absolutely saturated everywhere at this point, nobody is coming to TrendBow for its vague retail offering.

That leaves the affiliate subscriptions, which are attached to TrendBow’s MLM opportunity.

With retail discarded, TrendBow’s MLM opportunity boils down to signing up as an affiliate, paying fees and recruiting affiliates who do the same.

As with all MLM pyramid schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will commissions.

This will see those at the bottom of TrendBow’s pyramid scheme stop paying monthly fees. This in turn will see affiliates above them stop getting paid, eventually leading to them also stopping payment.

Once this trickles up far enough TrendBow’s affiliate genealogy, an irreversible collapse is triggered.

Math guarantees the majority of participants in pyramid schemes lose money.
