Global MoneyLine Review: Pseudo email list builder
There is no information on the Global MoneyLine website indicating who owns or runs the business.
The Global MoneyLine website domain (“globalmoneyline.com”) was registered on the 4th of February 2016, however the domain registration is set to private.
The Global MoneyLine Terms and Conditions suggests the company might be run out of Minnesota in the US:
The Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota and the federal laws of the United States.
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.
The Global MoneyLine Product Line
Global MoneyLine has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Global Moneyline affiliate membership itself.
Global MoneyLine affiliate membership permits an affiliate to spam messages to those who join after them.
Free affiliates must send messages one at a time, paid affiliates can spam up to twenty Global MoneyLine affiliates at once.
The Global MoneyLine Compensation Plan
The Global MoneyLine compensation plan sees affiliates pay $20 and get paid when they recruit others who do the same.
Commissions in Global MoneyLine are paid via a perpetual 2-up system and tracked through 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.
Commissions are paid as paid affiliates are directly and indirectly recruited into a unilevel team.
The 2-up system sees each Global MoneyLine affiliate “pass up” commissions on their first two recruited paid affiliates. These commissions are passed up to the affiliate who recruited them.
The same thing happens on the second level of the unilevel team, with commissions earned on the first two paid affiliates recruited passed up to the original affiliate’s upline.
This passing up continues on each new level of the matrix, always seeing commissions from the first two paid affiliates on the level passed up.
Commissions are paid out at a rate of $5 per affiliate recruited into a unilevel team.
Joining Global MoneyLine
Paid affiliate membership with Global MoneyLine is $20.
Free Global MoneyLine affiliates cannot earn commissions.
Conclusion
Global MoneyLine’s MLM opportunity is rooted in affiliate recruitment, making it a pyramid scheme.
Nothing is marketed to or sold to retail customers, with recruitment of paid affiliates the only way to earn commissions.
As with all recruitment schemes, Global MoneyLine will collapse once recruitment of new affiliates slows down.
The concept Global MoneyLine’s chain-recruiment business model is attached to promises affiliates the ability to ‘gain immediate access to every person who joins “AFTER” you!!‘
This is in effect a pseudo email list, as Global MoneyLine affiliates aren’t provided email addresses of the affiliates who joined after them. All messages are sent through the system.
The only person with access to affiliate email addresses is the admin, who is the only person actually building an email list.
The anonymous Global MoneyLine admin also stands to make the most money from the compensation plan, with his or her position(s) at the top of the company receiving the most passed up commission payments.
The end result for the Global MoneyLine admin is an email list of suckers and a large percentage of funds paid into the scheme.
As a regular affiliate, bear in mind that most people aren’t going to use a regular email address for spam bombardment. Thus a large percentage of people you can message under you are likely to use a rarely read email address.
The Global MoneyLine admin has access to everyone, but the people under you as a regular affiliate might mostly be non-responsive.
And even if they are, surely after being spammed by every Global MoneyLine affiliate above them, it won’t be long before they tune out completely.
Lets kick the comments off, This is Simon Stepsys new scamerama
Report this scam, as well as the dirtbag Stepsys to the authorities!
Bottom line is; the company charges its members for the right to message the members, they bring in. Huh??
I got a message saying 10,834 after just 12 days, i joined free, then decided to pay 20 bux and then discovered i have joined a ginormous spam fest, flipathon.
I figured i would message the 10,834 people in my money line and just say hello here’s my facebook link, rather than spam them with a deal.
That was a mistake, the spam fest started. People trying to flip people into their deals = Flip fest.
If you join free you can message poeple in your line, 1 at a time. What a waste of time. Clicking away for hours, so FREE sucks.
For every dollar you spend they allow you to message 1 person at a time up to 250 people at a time and soon 500 at a time. eg:$20 Bronze 20 people at a time.

They make it seem like you are gaining something really valuable by having huge numbers of free people entering your “Money Line” which you can then contact and hit with your offer.
There is nothing long term or solid about this business and the only people who will benefit from this are the owners who are building one almighty email list. Steer clear!!!
This is what I thought as well! I kept going over the videos, and trying to figure out what I was missing… So, I even paid the $20 bucks to see what else I might find out. But, only disappointment..
What isn’t clear to people is the downline and how often you can contact them, etc. I paid the 20 to find that out.
So, I messaged them about the Hottest Selling Toys – instead of a money making deal. But, when I got down to zero, my “Moneyline” didn’t automatically refill to the amount of people I have “under” me.
Soooo, I guess you can only contact your downline once at any given moment? I can’t find anything that suggests otherwise.
So, my conclusion is just that… It’s a GIANT Pyramid! And, yes, the one raking in the HUGE BUCKS is the one at the top! …And, will do so again when he/she sells your email address!… great….
I am in this. I do agree there is slim pickings in this from a free and also inexperienced member’s perspective but an experienced marketer can pull some gems out.
They are also changing the site a bit so that you can download members email, put it in an autoresponder and treat it more like a traditional safelist
You can also get some decent advertising on the site but that will be more beneficial as the member base grows in size. It also takes money to benefit from the ad spots.
Specifically, the silver, gold and diamond upgrades will allow you to place an ad in areas of the back office that your new downline will access. Since there are about 700 members joining everyday, the silver upgrade costs about 13 cents per day to benefit from that exposure and the gold costs about 19 cents per day.
Not a bad deal from an advertiser’s perspective. Diamond is about 2.52 per day and probably not worth the money unless you are a highly skilled marketer. These are all first year costs. The second year subscriptions all are $20 less due to bronze being a lifetime subscription
So, if you are looking to advertise to marketers and money game types, there is some opportunity to have assuming the admin runs an honest site
There’s nothing honest about pyramid schemes.
How is it a pyramid scheme. You are not required to pay to play. It is free to join and when you upgrade you are getting tangible products for your dollar
Free Global MoneyLine affiliates don’t earn MLM commissions.
None of those negate commissions paid out on affiliate recruitment. In MLM that’s a pyramid scheme.
You are also not required to recruit new members but if you do, they become your prospects which gives you the opportunity to market your products to them.
That is just like a traditional safelist and if you are spending money to get people to join your safelist then you should get a benefit of being able to market to them without paying a cent and you can.
Free members are still not required to upgrade or recruit and they still have the opportunity to market to people on the site. It is aimed at advertisers and if you are not an advertiser selling a product, you probably shouldn’t be there anyway.
If you are an advertiser and are not willing to spend money to reach out to a warm market of people who might be interested in your product then you are probably not very serious about what you are doing. We call that a hobby and there are many of those in the MLM industry, they just don’t know it
BTW, I intend to keep this debate, if it continues, respectful and civil. I hope you do also 🙂
Irrelevant.
Irrelevant.
What you do or don’t call a pyramid scheme is irrelevant, it’s still a pyramid scheme.
Paying recruitment commissions in MLM is a pyramid scheme. Any more strawman arguments you want to toss out?
Actually those are called affiliate commissions.
Are you calling clixsense or neobux a pyramid scheme? How is it that they have tens of millions of members, work with paypal (who is against ponzis) and have not been shut down by the government?
That said, I withdraw my endorsement for this site because they just changed the rules for free members (the email just came through tonight). This will make it much harder for the average freebie to benefit from the site since most can’t recruit or afford to upgrade to the $20 bronze level. I can no longer, in good faith, promote it
This appears to be a cash grab from the admin (since motivating more than 700 new members per day to join and get even more members can’t possibly be the real reason)
So yeah, there is some dishonesty creeping in.
If people do join be real cautious and don’t go spending what you can’t afford to lose.
Thanks for your time. You appear to be right for different reasons.
MLM commissions paid on recruitment are obviously affiliate commissions. Sorry, what as your point?
Not MLM companies? Don’t care.
Global MoneyLine is a pyramid scheme. It was dishonest at launch and everything is proceeding according to plan.
Clixsense pays affiliate commissions to eight levels
the difference is they sell products (advertising). They have over 6 million members and paypal has no problem with them
If they’re paying recruitment commissions across multiple levels, then yes Clixsense is also a pyramid scheme.
It’s also offtopic, so I’ll be marking any further comments about the company as spam.
What part of any MLM company paying recruitment commissions is a pyramid scheme are you not getting?
You are making blanket statements about affiliate commission structures that are false. There is no way the government would let large companies run like they are if they were not legally protected under the law.
Smaller ones maybe because they often run under the radar but if a company is selling a tangible product and rewarding members for making sales, they are a legal affiliate commission company and not a ponzi scheme.
Obviously you disagree so there is no point in debating the point
Regulation is reactionary. A scam operating does not equate to government approval until it is shut down.
Who said anything about Ponzi schemes?
I suggest you go read up on the recent Herbalife and Vemma cases to see what happens when an MLM company has little to no retail sales activity taking place.
Whether you agree or disagree with the facts pertaining to pyramid schemes is irrelevant.
Just wanted to mention that free members can earn. They would need 3 sales to qualify for earning future commissions.
Hello, I would just like to put in my two cents about GlobalMoneyLine. SO some of these comments are so wrong it is like walking in someone else’s shoes before you spit out things that you have no idea of what you’re talking about.
Maybe some of you are actually in MoneyLine and you know that this is not a scam.
I have been with MoneyLine for a few months now and all I can say is you are missing out. I have been making my own money every day and the emails that I recruit goes straight to my GetResponse no one else but my link.
And also everyone and I mean every single person that joins moneyline does pass up the first two bronze, the first two silver, the gold and the Diamond so that also means that every single person also gets to do this and ‘t make those sales off of the two pass ups too, so don’t make it sound that new joiners are getting ripped off because when their time rolls around they will get the two sales also.
So nobody loses here and so all the people that think this is a scam, you are wrong and If I have to show my bank statement to the world to prove it I would.
So all the people that are not making any money online you should not judge a book by its cover, MoneyLine has treated me with nothing but respect and I am making my 100% commissions that’s right 100% and all my emails that buy off of me are mine in my list and have subscribed to MY list no one else’s list but mine, no one else’s emails but mine. thanks.
@Jane
Right, so infinite affiliate recruitment is sustainable now? Did you flunk basic math in school?
Along with being part of the scam, you making money in a pyramid scheme has no bearing on it being a pyramid scheme.
You’re just another money-hungry scammer, trying to pitch a pyramid scheme to other money-hungrey scammers. Your ideal mark will ignore Global MoneyLine’s fraudulent business model in favor of making a quick buck.
At least own your scammery instead of coming up with flimsy excuses to justify it.
They make it seem like you are gaining something really valuable by having huge numbers of free people entering your “Money Line” which you can then contact and hit with your offer.
