No 1 Up and a 1-Up Gifting Programs Compared

There are several cash gifting programs on the Internet right now. If you do a search on Google, you'll see that many dozens of results would show up. But before you decide to join any of those cash gifting programs, do your research first. It's important to be affiliated with the right program, the right mentor and the right team, because that will surely determine your chances for success.

Take a look at some of the existing cash gifting systems out there and try to analyze what they really do and how beneficial it will be for you to join them. In this article we will try to shed light on two popular cash gifting systems, the 1 up system and the no 1 up system. Each of these systems has its own unique characteristics but in the end we'll find out which one will definitely suit our needs.

First on the list is the 1 up system. So how does this really work you may ask, Well here's an example. Let's say you join a 1 up system with John as your mentor. Now when you invite someone, let's call her Jane, to join under your team, the gift from Jane will go to John. Why? Well because that's the main operating procedure of 1 up, it basically means the first person you invite will give the gift to your mentor, not to you. Does that system look like something that would work for you? After you've worked hard to get your first person, you won't enjoy the rewards - you will have to find another before you actually start receiving something. If you were to ask me, I would say that's definitely not my cup of tea.

So then we come to the best in my opinion – the no 1 up system. In my personal experience, this is simply the best cash gifting system out there. It's based on a very simple concept, you give and then you receive. No frills, no complicated math. Its so easy to follow and so much easier to teach to other people as well. All you need to do is give the gift to your mentor, and they once you get your own team, they would give their gifts to you. This is the most ideal setting for a cash gifting programs to thrive on. Now all you really need to concentrate on is building your presence and mentoring your team.

Now that you've chosen the right cash gifting program for you, the next step is to make sure that there is an efficient and reliable tracking system in place for your gifting program. This will make sure that you don't lose any potential cash flow that should be going towards you.

Finally, it's important to pick the correct team to be affiliated with. Choose a mentor who genuinely cares about your success in the cash gifting programs. Your chosen mentor should always be available to answer any of your questions and to give you pep talks when you need them. This will be crucial to your success in cash gifting.

is 1 up a pyramid scheme

No 1 Up and a 1-Up Gifting Programs Compared

We know that a no 1 up gifting program involves only direct person-to-person giving. But is a 1 up program an illegal pyramid? In order to answer this question one must first of all define what exactly is a pyramid scheme. According to Dictionary.com, (WordNet) http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pyramid scheme , a pyramid scheme is “ a fraudulent scheme in which people are recruited to make payments to the person who recruited them while expecting to receive payments from the persons they recruit; when the number of new recruits fails to sustain the hierarchical payment structure, the scheme collapses with most of the participants losing the money they put in”. A according to the above definition, the operative phrase is “hierarchical payment structure”. Clearly, a no 1 up system is non-hierarchical. But can the same be said of a 1 up program? Consider, for example, a 1 up cash gifting program with a $100 joining free into which a prospect joins at the $500 level say. The 1-up structure requires that this prospect give up their 1st invitee up to their inviter.
Now in order to begin inviting others into the program, our prospect above would have spent a total of $600. Now he or she would need to invite at least 3 other people into the program before John makes a profit on his $600 investment. If his first and second invitees join at a level below the $500, then John must invite more than 3 into the program before he sees a profit. This is because the 1st sale John makes goes to his inviter (John is still $600 down), the second sale he keeps (he is $100 down), and the 3rd sale turns in a profit.
Thus, any new member is required to bring in at least 3 other people to make a profit. In turn, each of these 3 people would need to bring in another 3 people, and each of the latter then needs to recruit 3 new members and so on. Each level becomes much larger than the one it proceeds, hence the hierarchical structure. When recorded on a piece of paper, the 1 up programstructure resembles a pyramid:

1
111
111111111
111111111111111111111111111,

and so on.The conclusion must therefore be that both no up and the 1up gifting system share a pyramidal structure with illegal pyramid scams associated with some mlm companies. But since all payments are direct member-to-member, in cash gifting the pyramid does not have a small group of fat cats at the top making all the money at the expense of the laboring majority. A no 1 up gifting system may have pyramidal membership structure but it is not necessarily a scam.
