Depending upon how you look at it Direct Matches could be considered a scam.  On one hand you may see it as  a good vehicle for a social network that allows you to earn money while you interact with others in the business community.  On the other hand you may see it as an unattractive site with generic advertising and promises of making money hand over fist.

Let’s break it down to pros and cons -

The Pros:

  • Huge community of business professionals looking to network
  • Free and Paid accounts
  • Residual Income
  • Spillover from members above you (if you have a good sponsor this helps tremendously)
  • Ability to earn an unlimited amount
  • Advertise whatever type of business you want

The Cons:

  • Not a very good looking site (compared to Facebook, Myspace etc.)
  • Can’t earn money as a free member
  • First impressions could be that this is a pyramid scheme

Direct Matches Scam

I have been with Direct Matches for a little over a year and I must say that I barely use the services that are offered.  I am actually making money with it only because I am able to market it through the Spiderweb Marketing System.  If not for the fact that it is part of my marketing system I would most likely not use it at all.  If you would like to learn more about the spiderweb marketing system visit “How The Spiderweb Marketing System Works“.

One thing I do like about Direct Matches is that you get spillover from your upper levels.  Of course, this is only good if your upper levels are actually referring people.  When you do get a large enough team in your downline then you do start to make some money and you will start receiving checks like this:

If I was not receiving checks on a regular basis from Direct Matches then I probably would have given up on it a long time ago.  I find the site to be of poor quality, not only is it not aesthetically pleasing but it seems to be loaded with people that are just looking for you to join there “get rich quick” schemes.  Trying to weed though the good offers and plain junk is an effort in futility.

If the owners of Direct Matches took some time to revamp the site and make it a little more user friendly, maybe give it a more web 2.0 look, then I might be a little more interested.

Bottom line -

If you are looking to make money with Direct Matches then you better have a good way to advertise it or find a good sponsor that will help you build your downline.

If you are just looking for a place to promote your business for free then you can certainly do that and reach a pretty good audience.

If you are hoping to use it like Facebook but make money doing it…. stick with Facebook.

Hope I helped answer the question “Direct Matches Scam?”
