Well, I joined, and yes, I’m disappointed… Here is my Review of Global MoneyLine and their enticing offer to have Global MoneyLine “build a list for you.”
Let me begin by stating that I did see this offer before, and, I passed on it then. What was enticing this time was that I trusted the person who was referring it – again. I thought he would give it an honest look, and relay the pros and cons. But, apparently, that was not the case. So, yes, I am a bit disappointed. But, the good thing is that since I do “reviews,” I get to share my experiences with you, my readers! So, here is my Review of Global MoneyLine – including the Pros and Cons!

Global MoneyLine is a site that is building one major bad-ass email list. And, for those of you who are new to Internet and Affiliate Marketing, there is a very good reason why people really should build their lists. I don’t want to get too off-topic, but let’s just say building an email list is a good thing no matter if you’re just starting out, if you have a brick and mortar business, if you’re building a blog, or if you’re well into Internet and Affiliate Marketing. Building an e-mail list of your visitors and regular readers is a good thing. It provides those who do to be able to contact their list as often as they’d like: to build rapport, to offer specials, deals, coupons, etc., and to just keep in touch with loyal readers – plain and simple.
Ok, with that stated, we have a company offering here that claims to “Build your list FOR YOU.” It talks about “list building” in the same realm as those who actually do build lists, actual physical (digital file) lists, and nothing could be further than the truth. The deception is even in the banner ads they provide to affiliates (see the square ad above) which clearly states “List building the easy way.”
The major problem, for me anyway, is that it’s deceiving people into thinking that they will have recurring access to said list even if they remain a Free member.
Pros & Cons:
I had joined MoneyLine on Nov. 13th of this year. I remained a “Free” member for a little while, and by the time I paid the initial Bronze (one time) fee, the $20.00, I had somewhere around just over 12,000 people “below” me. I wanted to see, for myself, what would happen when I did use “my list” to share an offer.
Now, please keep in mind, that this “one-line” list of people being built are those who are either online already, or want to learn how to make money from home and online. So, this list of people “below” you, are interested in that “make money online” niche. Ok, with that stated, it is “safe” to assume that all those “above” you, those who joined before you, will be soliciting their offerings to you – seeing that you are “below” them on the MoneyLine.
PROS:
Well, Ok, I decided that I was going to offer “my list” an opportunity that was not related to make money online niche. I purposely wanted to share the post because, after all, Christmas is coming, and what parent, grandparent, or “favorite” relative doesn’t have kids in their immediate circle who needs to know more about the 25 Hottest Selling Toys for 2016! (Yes, that’s a shameless plug!)
So, because I was “only” a Bronze member, I sat there and clicked through all 12,000 people, which was actually somehow reduced to only 9,000 plus people, and I did so 20 at a time. I sent them all the same link to my DayGiftsOnline.com blog post to share my fabulous toy list.
At this point, I would categorize this as a “leads” system, not a list.
CONS:
When I got to the end of “my list,” guess what happened? …Nothing… absolutely nothing. It did not “replenish” and/or “refill” back to my original number of over 12,000 people. In fact, it began accruing again – from zero. And, that’s when I was more sure about the misleading statement being made: “Build a list the easy way.”
This is NOT list building. An actual e-mail list is an asset for your business because it offers you the opportunity to re-contact your list again and again. Here, or rather, with this “opportunity,” you are not building an asset for “your” business simply because you have no way to use it again. You are never given the actual email addresses of your “downline.” Therefore, you do not have a list. The only person who has “the list,” is the admin/owner of MoneyLine, which, I’m guessing, will have quite the lucrative email list to re-contact us with other opportunities in the future…
As a result of my offering, I received about four responses from other MoneyLine members. One asked “what are you selling?” …which I found comical, and the other three really didn’t say too much other than “thanks.” So, let’s do some math!
Out of approximately 9000 people, I received 4 responses. That’s a .000444 Click Through Rate (CTR). …not so good – that much I can tell you for sure.
Now, you may be saying that it “should have” been a relevant offer. And, yes, you’re right – the offer was NOT relevant to the target audience. But seriously? Who wouldn’t be at least a little bit curious about even just looking at a list of 25 Hottest Selling Toys if you have little ones in your life? …out of over 9000 people??? I expected more to “just look” at the list. I do not think that’s being unreasonable, so, in my opinion, a .0004444 CTR is a “total fail.”
Ok, ok… for those of you who are insisting that it should have been relevant in order to provide a “fair and balanced” review, here’s what I’ll do. I’ll try again and update this post at some point in the future. Here’s my “new” offer, and how I’ll share it on MoneyLine. I’ll create a special link to this post, the one you’re reading here, and I will only share this special link on MoneyLine. This special link will provide me with actual stats about how many people on my “downline” actually click on “that” specific link. So, while my “new” MoneyLine regrows, I will share this specific link to those new people via my membership with MoneyLine.
This will provide traffic to my post, yes, but it will also serve to educate people before they buy further into MoneyLine.
Obviously, one concern is that this little experiment may not last long. I have no idea if the admin / owner of MoneyLine will ever read my blog and retaliate in some way. I suppose my membership can be “turned off.” But, that’s OK. I’ll take that risk. For now, I am a member of MoneyLine. I do have my Affiliate link up, and hey, people “could” join using my links. This is why I’ve rated this a 6 out of 10. This may generate money for me, and then again, it may not. But, at least I know I’m not deceiving people without telling them the truth about MoneyLine – what it is, and what it’s not.
The Bottom Line:
A Free membership to MoneyLine IS NOT list building – for you. It allows you a one-time access to like-minded leads, but as a Free member, you will never acquire the actual email addresses of those Free or Paid members who have joined after you.
However, with that stated, there is one little way to obtain and actually build an email list if you share MoneyLine as an Affiliate. For those who do join and wish to become paid members and Affiliates promoting MoneyLine, you will have the opportunity to obtain member’s e-mail addresses when they send a PayPal payment direct to you. It’s an indirect way, but at least it can be done.
How To Build A List “USING” MoneyLine:
Once you become an Independent Referrer, and, after you make three sales, you WILL have the opportunity to capture email addresses of those who become Paid members. Granted, it will be one by one, and you will have to enter these addresses into a “real” email list builder, but at least there is “some” way to actually build a physical digital list.
So, for me, in case you’re wondering, yes, I will add any referrals who become paid members to my “make money online” list. That’s one of my actual lists that I’m building for my business. The other list, of course, is just the list of readers who want to receive the newsletter notifying them that there is a new article post to this blog. You probably saw the pop-up by now actively inviting you to join my blog email list, and for those who want “Money Making Opportunities,” you can join that specific list using ad box on the right. Look for the White and Pink Envelope SendLane Logo —>>> (I hope you joined both!)
WHO IT IS FOR:
Well, for the timid or newbies, please know that the initial offer is NOT list building. For Free members, you’ll have “one-time access” only to those who join under you, and you can contact them one by one. If you want to build a list using MoneyLine, you MUST be a paid member and you must be willing to promote MoneyLine to others who are interested in the Make Money Online niche. This is the only way they will be sharing their actual Paypal e-mail address with you.
As mentioned, there are various levels, and each level controls how many people you can contact at a time.
For instance, a
- Bronze member can contact 20 people at a time.
- A Silver can contact 50 at a time
- A Gold can contact 100 at a time
- A Platinum can contact 250 people at a time…
So, there is an opportunity cost in terms of “your time.” What’s your time worth? Do you have other things you could be doing instead of contacting people one at a time? Twenty at a time? …If you visit your MoneyLine on a daily basis, the amount of newly joined members is manageable enough even if you remained a Bronze member. So, no biggie really, at least until the rate of joiners speeds up – then it may become an issue.
TRAINING / TOOLS OVERVIEW
Well, there are videos which go over what this is all about and how you can use it. As mentioned, it did not answer the question in my head about how many times you can actually access that same downline list. I found it was “once,” but they do not blatantly tell you that little detail in the videos I watched.
SUPPORT
I saw a support email, but I have not used it as yet. MoneyLine does mention that you can contact your referrer, and he or she should be able to help you out further if you should ever need help.
PRICE
- Free
- Bronze $20 (One Time Fee – goes to “your referrer”)
- Silver $50 (Annual Cost)
- Gold $100 (Annual Cost)
- Platinum $250 (Annual Cost)
- Diamond (Coming Soon….)
FINAL OPINION/VERDICT
For those who may be new to all of this, just please educate yourself first before purchasing anything. You may not have a problem spending $20 or more for membership, but some may. I wrote this Review to help you make a more informed decision. In order to actually build a list “using” (not “with”) MoneyLine, you MUST be a paid member as that is the only way people will be sharing their actual e-mail addresses with you. Otherwise, if you remain a Free member, all contact is done through the MoneyLine system, and you cannot (directly or indirectly) obtain an email address in this way.
So, if you have no problem becoming an Affiliate in the Make Money Online Niche, hey, go for it! Join and share your links daily! Share them in Social Media, Blogs, your own (real) email list, and anyway you want – really. You could be earning the amount equal to your membership every time someone joins as a paid member. Just know that MoneyLine is NOT building a list “for you.” There’s a difference. There is no list linked to your account, and no server space or hosting abilities provided to you to build and keep a list. But, for those who now know, and understand the difference, you can capture email addresses when those you invite do become paid members.
In fact, this opportunity can be quite lucrative if you become an active Affiliate and actively share your link.
FINAL SUMMARY
Join for Free – Sure – “Get In Line!” Just be aware of what you are actually purchasing, and what you actually get, if you wish to join a higher membership level. Just know that there are ways to actually Build Your Real E-Mail List, and you can re-contact your list again and again in the future.

Hi Ms. MoneyHoney,
I have personally been a member at Global Moneyline since October 2016 and have now in honor of GML’s 2nd anniversary written an updated review.
I am a Diamond Member, I have also personally referred over 1,900 Friends and am ranked in the Top 10 of referrers at GML among over 300,000 members.
I am also a member of Wealthy Affiliate, I have seen you there, are you still a member at WA my Friend?
I have many referrals to WA, IBOsocial, Social Media Traffic Exchange and other legitimate sites that I share on Global Moneyline.
I welcome you to take a look at my updated review of global Moneyline anytime and see by your banner on the right side here at your website that you do also still promote GML.
Talk with you soon Ms. Money Honey,
Tony
MsMoneyHoney
Hi Tony! How are you? Nice to hear from you, and thank you for your input and the opportunity to review your latest post on GML. I will look it over when I get a chance. In the meantime, yes, GML can be good for some, and yes, I do passively promote it as well. As for WA, yes, absolutely I’m still a member! And, I promote that as well. (Click here to Visit MMH Page at WA) You haven’t seen me lately because I’ve been busy with personal stuff… trying to sell the family home in Taxachu… oops.. I mean Massachusetts and move to a warmer climate, etc. So, yes, I’ve been a bit sidetracked. But, as Ahnaaald” always says… “Ahl be baaaahck!” 🙂 Thanks again for your updated post link – I’ll check it out soon – I promise!

I agree that the marketing is deceptive and the platform was difficult to learn but I hanged in there and realized that the additional benefit apart from earning on MoneyLine itself is the actual leads you refer to the platform. They can be exported and transferred to your email list for your own marketing purposes.. For some reason prospects usually get lost on the platform and forget to educate them self on how MoneyLine works. I am from South Africa and usually send prospects to my short video of MoneyLine on youtube as a crash course on how the platform works and it usually yields excellent results in securing prospects.The downline list in the moneyline is not effective as the prospects list you are building the advantage is you are getting paid for building a list.
MsMoneyHoney
I understand, but again, I’m talking about the difference between the play on words and how you actually build a list. If you read my article, there is a difference in automatically building a list that goes directly to you vs building their moneyline automatically. Yes, you can obtain email addresses with more work – lots of more work. This is why my sub-title is “what it is, and what it isn’t.”
msgora
Dear Friend ,
I have got 29463 new joinees below me, but surprising I didn’t get even my invested money back….means its just a scam ????
MsMoneyHoney
Well, I’m sorry to hear that you’re another one who’s not to happy with Moneyline. As mentioned, it is a way to build a list, but not automatically “your” list. That’s the difference. Thank you for your input!

Julia
Hey, i was just wondering, as a bronze member, dont you get profit after the third member that joins in (as bronze member) under you, or how does that work? Im still a free member, but am doing my research to figure out how that works exactly before i decide to upgrade.
MsMoneyHoney
Hi Julia,
Sorry for the delay. I am totally distracted with getting ready for an online auction with the goal of moving… So, I apologize. As for the Bronze membership, I vaguely remember something about being paid – but – and it’s a BIG BUT, I have no idea how long their “cookie” tags the person who brought them there. There are things this site does not tell you, and that’s one of them. If you, as a bronze member, brings someone and they bring someone… I don’t know. Is the “tag” still good indefinitely? That is the question.
As mentioned in my post, I went and joined for Bronze, but no, I will not pay them more. So, while there are many members who are happy, there are downsides as well, and you are very smart to do your research. If you have lots of time, yes, you can begin to contact those members to ask for email addresses, but my main concern was that they promote their services as email building. It is not. You have much more work to do to obtain actual email addresses by asking those people who do respond for their email addresses in order to add them to “your list.”
In any case, thank you for your query, your visit, and I wish you well!

You got to think out of the box with this site.
I’m doing GREAT with it. Just be clever guys.
This is is a goldmine!
I can’t reveal what i’m doing here but geeeeee
THINK HARD!
Nothing beats this one this year for lead generation. Well at least for me. Quality leads that is.
Anyways, it’s your call guys
MsMoneyHoney
Hi Mike,
Thank you, but I still stand by what I wrote. Please see my response to Linda on December 15, 2016 below.
For you, I see that you are promoting a MLM site, and yes, I can understand why you would like Global MoneyLine. All I’m stating is that I don’t appreciate how GML blurs the lines between this “one-line” email method vs. actual list building. And, while I’m at it, many people have similar views with MLM sites. While, yes, MLM is a valid way to earn money, many people simply don’t make it. They are sucked into the concept with the promises of making lots of money without really realizing how it all works and what needs to be done. MLM is not easy, and you constantly have to recruit people under you – and then there’s the added pressure of high turnover rates among recruits. So, as mentioned, I’m only trying to help educate people before getting involved with time, effort, and hard-earned money.
Thank you for stopping by!
~MMH
odetta
OK, so what gives? How are you making moneyline work for you?
MsMoneyHoney
Hi, Well, I’m not, and that was the reason for my post. In order to make money from something like this where they are claiming they are building your list, is deceiving. Yes, it can be done, but considering the time spent to go through the motions is really just too much for me. It is very time-consuming. There is no automatic list being built for you – like they would have you believe. You have to manually contact each person in hopes of getting a response and an email address. And, for me, that is just too costly in terms of time. There are other opportunities. Therefore, my post was meant for people to weigh the “opportunity cost” of doing what was best with their time. And, for me, it was just too great. I also don’t like it when companies deceive people… which was another reason for my post. Newbies have heard about “building your list,” and they are likely drawn in because MoneyLine is playing on that phrase without fully explaining that there is a difference.
Thanks for your inquiry, and I hope I’ve answered your question.

Hello MsMoneyHoney,
I have read through the replies both pro and con’s.
As a product of the product I joined Global Moneyline the same week you did along with my downline. In fact I coached my downline on what to do to be successful with Global MoneyLine.
I didn’t stay a free member for long because it was a no brainer for me. Twenty dollars is a small price to pay when I have watched people waste money in the lotto line and scratch off machines. That requires work to. Feed your money to a machine or cashier with no return on your investment.A person will at a drop $20 at a fastfood restaurant and not blink or think to much about it.
Yes, my downline and I are still making money. I got referrals, and email addresses from the list of thousands and some joined my opportunities.
For those who are complaining about the work involved. I don’t care where you go you have to work. There is no online opportunity that I know about where you don’t have to work or some amount of revenue is not involved.
When you punch a clock. sign a timesheet or key in your employee number at a terminal you have to work.
Also, you have to be willing to invest in yourself and your business with training. Those who have been trained in marketing and sales are having the success. Anything you do requires training and work.
MsMoneyHoney
Yes, absolutely, there’s no getting away from doing some work. I agree! It’s just not what they initially tell you, that’s all. And, I like to make sure people know what they’re getting into. Thanks for your input – much appreciated!
Alberto
A total Scam , they refer you to a site name 1weektowealth and when u join they ask you too open a second GML account so u can join 1weektowealth, they request you to upgrade to bronze, then silver, then gold, and in the final to upgrade to platinum they change you sponsor name and request to open a new account to join 1weektowealth and this time they change the name u have to join under franktrueblood, if u refuse to repeat the process they deny you to join, and then they refer you to pay the platinum upgrade using a cmmer pocessor. Do not fall for it, I lost 150.00 for silver and gold upgrade, fortunately I did not go for the 250.00 upgrade. I realize this is scam, besides when u send your business offer to the list rarely other reply to your offer, everybody want to advertise they business not to join your business
MsMoneyHoney
I agree! They are making money off of the subscriptions without providing any real benefit. As mentioned in my post, they are blurring the line of building an actual email list vs. their “one-line” list which only benefits them. Thanks for your visit and your input!
~MMH
Arlene
Alberto, I am not sure who your upline is. But your upline is the one scamming you. Global MoneyLine has nothing to do with that. Global MoneyLines position is that once a person buys a subscription how they handle their business is how they handle their business. That is the explanation I got when I contacted support.
Yes, after joining Global Moneyline I was contacted by someone within the Global MoneyLine promoting a system similar to what you described and after a series of clicking through links. I saw it was an endless funnel of upsells. Never invested a dime in that opportunity.
Global MoneyLine is free to join and then you pay $20 for the bronze and that is it. If you choose to go further then that is your choice..
MsMoneyHoney
Interesting. So, again, those who do wish to continue do need to be careful when responding to others who are now contacting them. And, that’s yet another reason why I didn’t progress. Yes, to each his/her own. And, if you do choose to go forward with Global MoneyLine, you do need to be careful about promotions and upsells until you learn who’s who and what’s what. Thanks for your input!

Shawn Sproul
If you actual use the tool and communicate with your UPLINE and DOWNLINE, and ask them for their email address, or post your own, they will email you. Now you have their email address!
I have been building a large mailing list with GML!
I love it.
MsMoneyHoney
Hello Shawn,
Sorry, but I still disagree and stand by my thoughts as explained below in my response to Linda. This is NOT list building, it’s a play on words and it is not being totally honest with newbie users. So, although people may still join GML and still make use of it, as you said, people really do need to understand that they are not automatically building their list. Once again, I have explained this nuance in both my post as well as my response, below. But, thank you for your visit just the same.
~MMH
LInda
Hi, MMH, I too have joined Global Money Line and am a bronze member. I just wanted to let you know that you can indeed have access to the email addresses and send other offers to your people you have already contacted. You can send your MoneyLine any offer you decide to. Go to the sidebar, Genealogy-Your Prospects-Click On A Name-The Email Address Will Be At The Top Of The Message Chats Box. You are building a great email list. It is yours to do what you choose to do with it! I didn’t want you to miss your full opportunity of Global Money Line. I have done very well with it.
With Kind Regards,
Linda
MsMoneyHoney
Hi Linda,
Well, thank you for your input, but I do want to address the nuance – for my readers.
While, yes, you can go to the “Genealogy” section, and yes, you can click on a person’s name who signed up using your link in order to obtain his/her email address. That’s great, but that is NOT list building. As a MoneyLine member, I am not automatically given ALL those emails addresses who have signed up after me in any type of “list format.” The only emails I receive, or have access to, are those who joined using my links or those who wish to contact me via the chat box, and they are provided one by one in that chat box. Further, MoneyLine members are not provided email addresses of those in the “downline” (new members who are joining MoneyLine after you) either. You are only given access to members in the chat box. This not the traditional way to build a list. In fact, far from it.
In order to build an automated email list, you need to have an account with an auto responder service provider. I’m using SendLane, and here is my “Biz Opps” Page: The Money is in The List! I have people joining my list, and my auto-responder emails, which are already set up in my account, are automatically sent out when scheduled. In addition, I can send out any additional emails whenever I choose to that same list over and over again – the whole list all at once. There is nothing to type in, transfer, or go to any type of chat box or special email account to view the email addresses to send them something one by one. I can also download my whole list into a csv file and transfer my whole list to another auto-responder if I so choose.
The stark differences are clear. Using Moneyline, in order to contact ONLY those who joined under your link or those who wish to contact you via chat, using their email addresses, you’d have to send them emails one by one via the chat box or your regular email account. You’d then have to input these same email addresses, one by one, into your auto-responder account in order to continue to contact them – not to mention that your auto-responder doesn’t have the recipient’s permission. This is time consuming and costly. MoneyLine is not automatically building “YOUR” email list, and it’s certainly not an auto-responder email list. These are two entirely different things. MoneyLine is building “THEIR” list. It is MoneyLine’s administrator who is the only one who has complete and full access to the entire MoneyLine list. Further, MoneyLine members are not given the email addresses of the downline. There is no server space provided to you to accommodate your list, and there is no “list” provided in any type of file format to it’s members – even paying members.
MoneyLine, in my opinion, is a major Virtual MLM company, and hey, many people don’t have a problem with MLM’s. The more members you get to join from your efforts, the more money you make, but let’s be clear. You are building THEIR list – not yours. (For those who may want to learn more, here’s the Moneyline Video.)
With all that stated, yes, members can make it “work” for them. Many people won’t have a problem with how it works, and they may like it very much. “Free” is good, or they can pay the one time Bronze membership for $20. – no biggie. They may even consider paying the annual fees if they like it. They can work the MoneyLine system, and contact as many people as they can in order to obtain email addresses one by one. That’s all well and fine, but I just wanted to clarify – especially for newbies – who may not be aware that there are other ways, easier ways, to actually “build YOUR list,” an actual list that will produce passive income over time.
Thank you for your time and your input – It is MUCH Appreciated!
