Network Marketing Referral Method and Tracking System

Abstract

A network marketing system is disclosed that provides classified and auction sales of goods and services produced and offered for sale by network users rather than the proponent of the network. The system includes rewards for network members for recruiting additional members and for the sale of goods and services by a member's down line. To encourage recruitment of new members and to properly record member rewards, each member is assigned a unique identifier. The identifier is associated with that member's recruits so that the system directs rewards to the proper recruiting member based on, for example, membership fees and sales made by the recruits. The system allows users to offer goods for a price below their market value in exchange for a purchaser recruiting a designated number of new network members.
