Hi Jim.
I followed every step in the OBA & TEP courses except the NPA
I had 4 people sign up to my Trafficwave newsletter via the TEProfits website the first day
and when they joined trafficwave it was credited to my upline
Not sure why that would have happened, but that's beyond our control anyway because TrafficWave is a stand-alone program, owned and operated by someone else entirely.
I received the $5 payment
So you made your first sale! Congratulations!
but they are no longer in the system,
in the OBA back office, under "your customer list"
Your customer chose to lease AdSpace #1. He would have leased it from you, but you haven't yet leased it yourself... so he couldn't. He would have leased it from your sponsor, but your sponsor hasn't yet leased it either... so he couldn't. So he leased his AdSpace from your sponsor's sponsor.
If you intend to continue to make sales... and I assume you do... you may want to consider leasing AdSpace #1. You'll make more money without doing any additional work.
What happened to my downline
The system is designed to position Business Owners where they'll have the best chance of receiving the help they'll need to succeed. Because you didn't lease AdSpace #1, the system recognized that you probably wouldn't be able to answer any questions about the AdSpace Lease Program, and therefore re-assigned the Business Owner who purchased an ebook from you to the first upline Business Owner who could... the one who had leased an AdSpace.
Also, the system is designed to help keep you from spending your time building a business where there will be no chance of profit for your business... and because you hadn't yet leased AdSpace #1, there was no further opportunity for your business to profit from the growth that will occur in the business that is being built by the person who purchased an ebook from you.
And that's why the system has moved that Business Owner from your first level to the first level of the person he leased his AdSpace from. It positions that Business Owner where he'll be more likely to get the help he needs and it may keep you from expending your energy where there is no potential for profit.
I hope this helped.
Dave
