Gibline or Giblink - Whatever - I Won't Be Joining

Problem #1:

What the heck IS the name of this company anyway?

Is it Gibline or Giblink? Does anyone know? I mean even the members can't get it straight! Case in point: here is the subject line from an email that just hit my inbox: "Cynthia, You Must Join Gibline/Giblink Now!"

Uh...thanks for the invite, but no thanks. I'm really not comfortable joining a company that appears to be suffering from an Identity Crisis!

Problem #2:

It seems every person on the net has joined "it" except for me, which wouldn't be a bad thing if not for the fact that it has turned my daily SPAM into a total bore.

I mean, I'm used to being bombarded by a new horde of pre-launches every day, and now 90% of my email is nothing but gibberish!

Problem #3:

"It" is being promoted by some as the next MySpace, YouTube or even Google. Now I can only muster up one comment to that: "People...Get a Grip!"

Now, to help you come down to Earth, just ponder this thought for a moment: Do any of those companies revolve around a bunch of mlm junkies looking for some passive residual income? I think not. And this brings me to...

Problem #4: In my eight years of marketing online, I have learned a thing or two, and one of those two things is that distributor-based opportunities don't last very long.

Here's why: If the product can't stand on its own, as soon as things slow down even a little, people will start dropping like moths on a bug zapper.

Problem #5: Does anybody even care what the product is? Well, we all know the answer to that, so let's move on.

What bothers me the most about Gibline/Giblink is the compensation plan. And here's why:

Straight-line Matrix Programs Flat Out Don't Work! It's as simple as that. Now, there are, no doubt, millions of people in the world who are not aware of that fact, but I know for a fact that there are many people (ie: heavy hitters, ponzi players, money-game players) promoting Gibline who ARE aware. Yet they go right on enticing people to join, knowing full well that anyone joining now will most likely NEVER see a dime.

Here's a short lesson on the life of a straight-line matrix:

First some heavy hitters get in with multiple positions. Then they start recruiting others with the promise of passive income.

This is very good for those who got in first, as they will be cycling and making boatloads of money. But, after a few weeks, things will slow down a bit. The heavy-hitters will stop promoting and will move on to the next big thing. Meanwhile, all those who joined late will be left behind.

It is inevitable, and those at the top, or those who have been around awhile know this to be true.

The math is impossible, and numbers don't lie. In fact, any matrix structure which claims to pay out more than it takes in is nothing more than a ponzi or a money game.

In fact, many are comparing Gibline / Giblink to another, similar program that ran successfully for a couple of years before it finally died, leaving many people financially devastated. I won't mention any names here, but suffice to say that this other program did more damage, in more ways, than I care to even think about.

And I do try NOT to think about it whenever I get the chance, but lately it's darn near impossible.

Every day I receive an invitation from someone telling me that I MUST join Gibline / Giblink because it's similar to "XYZ" program.

Well I've been suffering in silence long enough.

It's time to come out and say "that's precisely Why I Won't be Joining."

There, I said it and I feel much better now. At least until I check my inbox and come across the next invitation. Geesh.
