Do Nothing Downline Club Review: Do nothing = no $
The principle of the Do Nothing Downline Club is simple:
Do Absolutely NOTHING and make money starting today!
Despite the obvious eyebrow raising skepticism this statement naturally evokes, the owner(s) of the Do Nothing Downline Club market their MLM opportunity by signing up, doing nothing and then just watch the income roll in.
After stating this, then they go ahead and tell you what you actually have to do:
You can Make Money Right away!! We have many different ways you can make money. Get Paid Fast!
Earn by Referring Other Members(Free Members Also)
Earn By Completing Tasks, Offers and Clicks
Earn By Spillover and Our Infinity Matrix
Earn From Our Chosen Program
Now I don’t about you, but that certainly doesn’t sound like “doing nothing” to me. So what’s the deal here?
Read on for a full review of the Do Nothing Downline Club MLM opportunity.
The Company
Not surprisingly, when you’re running a company you claim members can just join, do nothing and earn an income from – you probably don’t want people knowing who you are.
The domain ‘donothingdownlineclub.com’ was registered on the 24th July 2011 and lists the following LLC as registrant;
DNDC, LLC
Tech Road 309 South
Pasadena, California 91104
United States
Given that the domain was registered in July, one would think whoever is behind DNDC LLC would have had ample time to register the company.
A quick business search over at the State of California’s website however, reveals that no such LLC exists (make sure you check the ‘Limited Liability Company’ option when searching for either ‘DNDC’ or ‘Do Nothing Downline Club’.
Given this, I’m tempted to say this LLC doesn’t even exist.
Despite the domain registration pointing at a California address for DNDC LLC, the Do Nothing Downline Club Terms and Conditions go on to state that
14. This agreement is governed by the laws of Arizona.
A quick check on the Arizona Corporation Commision also reveals that there is no DNDC LLC registered in Airzona either.
Furthermore, the admins of the Do Nothing Downline Club state on the website that their
company is comprised of several Admins in various fields. We have put together a great team that is designed to help you succeed.
We have a combined 87 years in MLM and online businesses. You can be assured you are in good hands and we are here to stay.
Sorry guys, not good enough.
As always, if a MLM opportunity is not upfront about who is running things there’s usually a dodgy reason behind it.
Approach any MLM opportunity with extreme caution if they are hiding who owns the business and is running things.
The Do Nothing Downline Club Product Line
The Do Nothing Downline Club has no tangible products or services to sell at a retail level. Instead, membership the company is marketed by the club’s members (of which there is currently a free and paid option).
The Do Nothing Downline Club even admit this in their terms and condititions;
3. I agree that as a DNDC Member, I shall place primary emphasis upon the sale of the membership product.
Membership is not a product in itself.
The Do Nothing Downline Club Compensation Plan
The Do Nothing Downline Club Compensation Plan offers members commissions via
- the completion of ‘offers, clicks and tasks’
- recruitment commissions
- matrix commissions
Here’s a rundown of each of the three income streams:
Offers, clicks and tasks
The Do Nothing Downline Club currently claims to have ‘ver 4,700 offers, clicks and tasks for most members to complete’ but doesn’t actually say what any of them are.
The company also doesn’t provide any specifics other than
These offers are unlike those found at other PTC sites
With PTC standing for ‘paid to click’, one can assume this is some kind of gaming of advertising networks (paying you to click on ads) or some other such nonsense.
Whatever the exact nature of their offers, clicks and tasks are, there’s a reason the Do Nothing Downline Club aren’t upfront and specific about what it is they want you to do.
That’s because it’s probably dodgy, otherwise why wouldn’t they just be honest about it. For example, this tidbit from the Do Nothing Downline Club website,
We pay you to refer your friends, associates or just to place ads,
indicates that there’s some sort of daily spam-the-internet requirement in order for members to get paid.
The Do Nothing Downline Club claim the maximum weekly income from their offers, tasks and clicks is $100. Additionally the company also offers a matching bonus on the offers, tasks and clicks income of the members you’ve directly recruited too –
- 10% if you recruit 1 member
- 25% if you recruit 10 members
- 50% if you 100 members
Recruitment Commissions
Along with making you complete pointless tasks to get paid, the Do Nothing Downline Club also offer direct recruitment commissions. These commissions are paid out to existing members upon the successful recruitment of new members to the company.
Available only to Founder (paid) members, the Do Nothing Downline Club pays 10cents – $1 for each free member and $10 per founder member recruited.
Matrix Commissions
The Do Nothing Downline Club offer matrix commissions via a 2 x infinity matrix.
This matrix starts with you at the top, branches out into two legs and then again each of these legs sprouts two new legs and so on and so forth.
For each member you have in your matrix, the Do Nothing Downline Club pay you a monthly commissions.
Free members earn 50 cents per founder (paid) member in their matrix (nothing for recruiting free members) each month.
Founder (paid) members earn 10 cents per free member and $1 per founder (paid) member in their matrix each month.
Joining the Do Nothing Downline Club
There are currently two membership options available to those wishing to join the Do Nothing Downline Club.
Free membership is free whilst Founder membership costs $49 (one-time).
Conclusion
Not surprisingly, the Do Nothing Downline Club does actually require you to do something – but on the technicality that you can join, do nothing and earn money from the recruitment efforts of others in your matrix (building your downline), the club’s name does have some truth to it.
Of course the reality is that if everybody did this there’d be no spillover, so practically speaking – the idea that you can join, do nothing and earn profit is a load of hogwash.
Apart from being run by anonymous owners being a big red flag, the fact that the Do Nothing Downline Club are coy about what their offers, clicks and tasks are.
The company thus far has mentioned placing advertisements, ad credits and unlimited downloads but doesn’t go into specifics. If I had to take a punt, I’d say they pay members to spam the internet, offer some kind of download e-book library to paid members.
All ultimately a waste of time and there have been numerous companies before the Do Nothing Downline Club who have dedicated themselves to turning a decent profit in these areas and failed. You’ll get paid cents sure, but nothing that’s worth your time invested to do the tasks provided.
That leaves the $49 membership fee and recruitment commissions – which, as can clearly be seen by the higher commissions paid out to paid members (free members don’t contribute to the commission pool unless they recruit paid members), is nothing more than the redistribution of membership fees as commissions to existing members.
Finally something I haven’t touched upon is the mention by the Do Nothing Downline Club that they
will build a team of web entrepreneurs to propel our members into a chosen opportunity that will be mutually beneficial to all.
Recruitment commissions, digital downloads, spam requirements… quite possible all we’re looking at here is an email builder for the unnamed admins to build a downline to join an opportunity they are already involved in, or plan to join when the Do Nothing Downline Club gets big enough.
Quite the elaborate way to build a downline to bring with you into a new MLM opportunity but keep in mind nobody ever got rich following anonymous leaders from one MLM opportunity to another.
The only people who are going to make any money with the Do Nothing Downline Club are those that manage to convince large amounts of people to part with $49, and the anonymous admins.
Pay to join, then get commission for referring others who do the same is ILLEGAL PYRAMID SCHEME.
The existence of the paid option pretty much proved it.
“We have a combined 87 years in MLM and online businesses.”
That’s a good one. LOL! I hope they are not implying that they have 87 years of MLM experience.
Sites like AvailPay, Survey-FAQ and MixReq are also free to join, pay higher than normal but doubtful about payments.
@S Dhar — they mean each of the founders have some years in the business and it adds up to 87 years.
However, as a Mr. Barrett can attest, he called “TVI Express” a good opportunity, when it was clearly a pyramid scheme, and he claims to have 25 years of experience in MLM. Clearly, experience don’t say much.
Can i just stop you there as i have been involved with Do Nothing Downline Club for a while now and there is no spamming we do get over 3000 ptc’s of which they are now developing a separate site for.
You can create your own downlines and make commissions or pay and ‘Do Nothing’ as they create a downline for you of VERIFIED members only. You also make no mention of the Cycler they have designed which is better than any i have ever seen, sustainable.
This is not a pyramid scheme in any way or form. You do not have to upgrade and can remain a free member if you wish and just click on offers and sign ups. Also taking a punt is not very professional when you cannot back up your view.
There are no e-book offers or downloads. I have over 10 years in marketing and my business partner has 38 years, we are no mugs and think this program will rocket.
K, Chang you seem to be very informed and know much. What exactly are the laws of the US 50 Contiguous States, Guam, Puerto Rico and The US. Virgin Islands.
So someone came up with the Idea of Do Nothing Package. If you being so wise and wisdom would think for a minute Maybe this means Purchase an Ad Package, Let them Do for you what you have not accomplished in weeks, months or your 20 yrs in MLM without expending thousands of dollars.
The average cost to place someone in to any organization is 7 to 15.00. And a whole lot of work. Only 5 percent ever make any money. Why not? Because their is not system to earn advertisement dollars in to continue to advertise.
This company you refer to has this. You cannot wrap your head around the fact that the name Do Nothing Could mean And Does, Purchase at a fraction of the cost what you would spend doing it on your own and get referrals guaranteed. Name me an ad package out there that does this,
And also. If they come into that company for free, they do not get paid, nor do does their upline, downline, sideline or wow line as you insinuate to , get paid. They must verify. They verify by clicking on paid advertisers ads. To join if they wish or not. What are you involved in sir? Does it have text ads, banners, or what? Adsense rotf OH MAN.
Do your home work on PIP. yeah you have seen the ads. they lead you through about 50 things to do and the company is making money off of everything you do buy, website hosting, adsense, google, sokule, ect ect ect.
everything in life has something wrong with it with the likes of your mentality. Speak before you think. So leads us to believe you were in and did not make a million by sitting on your honyocks. lol. Good day sir’s. and I will not keyboard wrestle with you.
You two have no clue what you are talking about.
you do not have to pay to join……….Brain Locked.
And how do you know this sir, you in everyone of these company;s?
@Mark
= recruit people
= somebody else recruits people for you
Yet the majority of commissions paid out are via the recruitment of others? Please.
Offers and signups pay peanuts, the real money here is in recruitment. As a DoNothingDownline Club member, do you make more commissions via the recruitment of others or from silly offers, clicking ads or other pointless tasks?
Be honest now.
Oh dear…
@Dr. MastersWhatever the cost, the ultimate goal is the recruitment of others, as stated by yourself (referrals).
So you have to click ads to earn commissions?
And advertisers are paying for this why? Would you advertise on a network that forced members to clic kon ads to get paid? Of course not.
Seeing as you’re obviously a member, I’ll ask you the same question I asked Mark. As a member of Do Nothing Downline Club, are you making the majority of your commissions via pointless tasks or via the recruitment of others?
You can combine whatever stupid tasks you want but if you’re still paying out the bulk of your commissions on the recruitment of others – it’s a pyramid scheme.
So SOMEBODY in the system is recruiting. Without recruiting, the system stops dead.
And earn nothing. Thus, irrelevant to the discussion.
As mentioned before, we’ve seen 24 year MLM veterans endorsed pyramid scheme that was kicked out of the US via a cease and desist. So pardon me if I take your experience with a few grains of salt first.
All I need to know is the FTC definition of a pyramid scheme. Though I could refer you to mlmlaw.com and mlmatty.com if you prefer to read individual laws…
Then it’s already a misleading lie, as you’ve described it.
Never was in a MLM. That’s why I can analyze them objectively, as a true outsider.
And the relevance to DNDC is what exactly?
Perhaps it is you who cannot warp your head around there are LAWS involving MLM, like the FTC vs. Omnitrition, the Amway rules, and such. So you have to invent this “you don’t understand what we’re doing” excuse, but it’s ultimate FAIL because you didn’t explain it either.
You get paid only if you recruit PAID members. That in itself is sufficient to prove it’s a pyramid scheme. All the rest of your verbiage is basically baloney.
We could go compare definition of pyramid scheme, but so far all you did was wave around a bunch of irrelevant facts and implied “I’m smarter than you are.”
Free members only earn if they recruit paid members.
Nope, brain works fine. perhaps look in mirror would be good for you.
Free members earn using the ptc site my friend, they do not have to recruit or upgrade. Dig a little deeper and you will find that this is a great program not a pyramid scheme as you can earn with the pts site.
Anyway I wish you all the best in the future and i will leave it there as there does not seem any point explaining this to people who wish to find fault in what we do.
I do take offence when my experience is taken with ‘a grain of salt’ I have never been involved with any scam or pyramid scheme and this is neither. Cheers for now.
Given that PTC generally pays out nothing (considering the time investment), let’s not kid ourselves and pretend anyone is in the Do Nothing Downline Club just to participate as a free member clicking stuff.
since there are say 25k members, why is zero online?
doesnt that say that program isnt working, or is a scam? in my opinion i look for the ratio of members joined, to cashouts on the site, AND definetly whether anyone is actually online.
This most certainly in my opinion is a scam, based on very very simple common sense that i have mentioned above.
Much easier to just take a look at the business model. You can have a high ratio of members joined, millions of people online getting cashouts and still have a scam on your hands.
Do you think that it is worth joining this company or not taking into consideration the secrecy of the owners and the lack of physical products to be marketed?
We don’t make personalized opportunity recommendations.
Read the review again and decide for yourself, particularly the last paragraph.
