FEATURES AND SITE INSTRUCTIONS
Before you do anything else, be sure to share your personalized website with your friends and associates before someone else does! 60 Minutes reports that matchmaking is already a billion-dollar industry that is expecting even more explosive growth. The Seattle Times reports that all the big online players are taking notice of social networking and are starting to get involved! As you can see, your timing could not be better! Access the links for the full 60 Minutes and Seattle Times stories on the News Center page.
By having your contacts signup at your personal website, you are taking the first step in ensuring that you will benefit from this explosive growth. You can find your personalized website URL’s in your welcome letter or on the Back Office at the site.
Keep in mind that your friends and associates can Register for Free, receive Free Training, and even Advertise their Business for Free, in addition to utilizing the many community features and benefits!
This first lesson provides instructions on how to use the site and discusses some of the unique and exciting features DirectMatches offers. We’ll also teach you how a picture can be worth not only a thousand words but also THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!
Save this training series and make notes to remember how the site operates. It will come in handy when you tell others about the services.
Member Types
DirectMatches has developed and deployed the FIRST MULTI-MATCH technology in the world. This Multi-Match technology allows members to find Romance, meet Friends, Advertise a Business and Network, or find a Job - all in one worldwide community!
As you saw when you registered, members have the following dedicated match options to choose from: Business, Sportsmen, Friendfinder, Singles, Employer, or Jobs.
“Dedicated” means that if you choose Business as your match option at registration, your service will be specifically designed to network and connect with other business people while advertising your product or service. A business member will not be able to search, view, contact or be contacted by other member types, such as Singles.
If a member has more than one match interest, simply select more than one option when registering. This allows them to create a dedicated profile for each selection. All member types allow the option to post a resume and search for job listings.
My Profile
Be sure to complete your profile as soon as you register! This enables you to communicate and ensures your visibility to other community members. The DirectMatches matchmaking system is optimized to show photo and text descriptive narratives. So, add your photo along with a descriptive narrative about yourself to increase the response to your profile!
If you did not complete your profile at registration or wish to update the details at any time, login to your DirectMatches account and click either ‘My Dating Profile’, ‘My Business Profile’, or ‘My Friendfinder Profile’, etc., depending on the dedicated match service or services you chose when joining. Be sure to check the criteria boxes that indicate your interests and/or background, add a profile headline, and then insert a text narrative about yourself or business.
Once you’ve completed your profile, select the appropriate My Match option and complete the questions regarding the type of member you would like the system to find for you. Then, view your matches and get involved!
Don’t forget to ADD A PHOTO! Click the Manage My Photo link and upload a personal photograph. Members can upload a different photo for each profile! Keep in mind that DirectMatches Customer Care Team approves all photos before they are released for other members to view.
You can also add audio or video files through your Manage My Audio and Manage My Video links!
The Desktop Manager
If you did not install the Desktop Manager upon registration, it’s important you install the application now. With increased Spam filters and ISPs blocking email, it has become increasingly difficult for companies to communicate via email with members. The Desktop Manager solves this issue! It runs, silently, on your computer desktop and allows DirectMatches to send a quick alert when company communications are sent to you. Visit the Marketing Tools page to download the Desktop Manager today!
Remember, if you do not receive company communications via email for any reason, login to your DirectMatches account and click the News Center link to access all items sent to members.
When you become a DirectMatches Independent Representative and new members join under you or take the next step and upgrade, the Desktop Manager continues to work with you! The Desktop Manager changes roles and helps you manage your down line and customer base by sending news, notifications on conference calls, promotions, tips, and other important information from the company.
Searching And Contacting Other Members
It’s simple to get started searching and contacting other members straight away. Just select a search method from the left menu on the site, choose your search criteria, and click submit!
Specify fewer or no criteria to make a broad search, or choose as many criteria as you like to narrow your search. Be sure to check the ‘Save Search’ box to view your matches at any time without creating a new search.
Contact Information And Editing Your Account
If you have any questions, you may visit the Back Office and click the Contact My Sponsor link to communicate with the person who referred you to DirectMatches. If you have questions for DirectMatches, simply login to your account and click on the Customer Care link in the upper navigation menu.
You may edit your password or email address at any time through the Edit My Account link found on the left navigation menu of your main profile page. You may also opt-in or -out of receiving email communications from the company through the Edit My Account link by checking or un-checking the options listed. Update My Address and Update My Credit Card links are found on the left navigation menu in the Back Office.
The Back Office
Your Back Office gives you access to real-time statistics and sales activity of your DirectMatches business. When used in conjunction with the Desktop Manager, you will always stay abreast of growth and changes in your down line!

Now that you have a better understanding about some of DirectMatches features and how the site works, let’s continue to the next section where we will discuss our company, the matchmaking industry, and the universal appeal of the services DirectMatches offers.
THE COMPANY AND NETWORKING INDUSTRY
You have made the right decision. When you joined the DirectMatches community, you signed up with the right company at the right time and in the right industry. Here’s why…
The Company
DirectMatches Corporation is a privately held company, incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware, USA. DirectMatches is an innovative system for meeting people. The inventive combination of person-to-person marketing along with our original concept of a social and business network produces a new kind of service. Driven by a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, the company markets a broad range of highly developed matchmaking technologies.
First To An Exploding Market
DirectMatches is the first in the world to deploy an online multi-matchmaking system that helps people locate everything from business contacts to job opportunities to finding dates online.
The online Matchmaking and Social Networking markets are exploding! 60 Minutes reports that matchmaking is already a billion-dollar industry that is expected to double over the next two years. The Seattle Times reports that all the big online players are taking notice of social networking and are starting to get involved! As you can see, your timing could not be better! Access the links for the full 60 Minutes and Seattle Times stories on the News Center page.
Meeting people for work or pleasure on the Internet has become one of the most popular and fastest growing Internet market segments.
Mass Appeal
DirectMatches' low-cost service is affordable to all. It encompasses an extremely wide market, including those seeking colleagues, friends, romance and jobs. DirectMatches fills that niche through a global business model for a truly effective service.
Right Place At The Right Time
Success is not always about who is smarter or has the best product or the most convenient payment plan. It's about timing in the market place. You can't create another Microsoft today. Bill Gates was in the right place at the right time and was fortunate enough to take advantage of it. You can't go to Texas and become an oil billionaire today. If you were in Texas in the 1960s you could have. You'd be lucky to start another McDonalds Corporation today. This same concept of right place and right time goes for companies in direct selling.
How did all of these companies and people become so successful? Amway spearheaded the direct selling concept. Microsoft was created at the start of a simmering industry getting ready to explode. McDonalds was the first to tap into the franchise market. Excel Communications was formed in the 1980s when the telecommunications industry was deregulated.
All of these examples point to the fact that these extremely successful people and companies, whether or not they were smarter than other business people, were in the right place at the right time, and they took immediate advantage of the business opportunity that was presented to them.
DirectMatches is in the right place at the right time! Here is why!
In the early 90s people had barely heard of the Internet. By the mid 90s the Internet had already become a phenomenon! In 2001, online matchmaking services for people seeking dating and jobs online started to become mainstream.
The online matchmaking market is now a billion dollar industry in the U.S., having skyrocketed in popularity since 2001. The Web has revolutionized the business by making affordable and convenient matchmaking available to the entire online population. Comscore reported for 2002 that revenues generated by online matchmaking services surpassed all other paid content categories online. Currently, there is an estimated 90 million single Americans with 40 million Americans using online dating services each month. There is also a growing wave of online social networking sites. Internet giants, like Google, Amazon and Yahoo, have not only taken notice, but they have also gotten involved!
DirectMatches is the first online Multi-Matchmaking service to offer social and business networking options AND PAYS you to refer others who use the service!
DirectMatches has positioned itself at the boiling point of an exploding young industry—online matchmaking, one of the few services people are willing to pay for online!
Professional Associations
As part of building its foundation for success, DirectMatches has either retained the services of or became a member of the following associations and firms.
E-Trust
Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce
US Chamber of Commerce
Gerald Nehra, MLM Specialist and Private Practice Attorney
Holland & Knight
Now that you have a better understanding of why joining DirectMatches was the right decision, let’s continue to the next section where we will discuss how the MRM System reduces the need to be a professional sales person, aids duplication through technology, and increases participation.
MRM – REVOLUTIONARY MARKETING SYSTEM
Some people struggle to earn income in network marketing because they lack sales experience and the ability to close sales. However, DirectMatches has addressed this concern with our revolutionary Multi-Referral Marketing (MRM) system!
Your primary task is to refer people to your site to sign up for free! Then, the MRM system will take over and reduce the pressure of selling, working with you to upgrade your referrals to paid sales.
There are four simple steps to building your DirectMatches business – refer, upgrade, duplicate, and participate. The MRM system assists you with each step and frees up your valuable time and that of your team. Here’s how…
REFER
Free registration works for you to help build your business. Refer people to your personalized Business or Non-Business Dedicated Customer website to sign up for a free account and watch how the MRM system works for you. Your free referrals will reserve a position in the company and receive a free profile. They can preview member matches, have matches delivered directly to their e-mail inbox and are notified as new members come into their group. This is simply the MRM system in action, working for you, silently, online, and 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week!
Our Customer Care Team works for you to help build your business. You don’t need to be an expert on our technology or our service. Our Rapid Response Customer Care Team will answer questions from people you refer to your site.
UPGRADE
Member matches work for you to help build your business. Our automated match system will build and send matches based on the match criteria members have created. These match profiles will be sent using an e-mail message and posted on the members’ My Match link on the site. Once again, this is the MRM system in action! Free members can only preview member profiles. When free members upgrade to a paid position, they can contact other members and unveil other features of the service, which drives sales to your business.
Back Office access increases participation and works for you to help build your business. Your free members will have full access to view their own Back Office, where they can watch their down line and potential business grow. By allowing free members to see their Back Office activity, it gives them a sense of immediate participation in the company and business.
Weekly Sales Activity reports work for you to help build your business. When new members register and current members upgrade, the DirectMatches MRM System sends out a Weekly Sales Activity Report to show members growth in their organization. Combining reports with the member’s ability to view his/her Back Office to see real activity drives free members and customers to upgrade to become eligible for receiving commissions!
DUPLICATE
The Desktop Manager works for you to help build your business. When your team members take the next step and upgrade to a paid customer or representative status, the Desktop Manager does not stop working with you! The Desktop Manager changes roles and helps you manage your down line and customer base by sending notifications on conference calls, promotions, tips, and other important information from the company. This fail-safe online communication system clinches sales and helps your team members duplicate the system through simple training, resulting in sales!
PARTICIPATE
When everyone works together and fosters a positive environment, success is ensured. To help your sales organization grow, it is critical that you teach and encourage your interested team members, showing them how to utilize the MRM System – Refer, Upgrade, Duplicate, and Participate!
What’s next? Target marketing.
Send To Friend Target Marketing
If you notice that some of your free members are not upgrading, you can take a second step and use the Send a Friend system to your advantage. You can search member profiles. Look for a member profile that you feel might interest the member you referred to the site. Then use the Send a Friend link to forward the profile you found to the member you are targeting to upgrade, along with a message. You can find the necessary e-mail addresses in your Back Office. By using the Send a Friend system for target marketing, you can increase your sales.
Online And Off-line Marketing Tools
Whether you’re new to the Internet or an experienced Internet user, we have tools to help you market your business. Focus your marketing on what best suits you, whether online or off. Independent Representatives will find the Marketing Tools link on your top navigation menu after you login to the site. There you’ll find a wealth of online marketing tools and off-line, or real world, marketing materials!

Now that you have a better understanding of our revolutionary Multi-Referral Marketing System, let’s move on to the next section where we will discuss the DirectMatches Prime-4-Reward Compensation Plan.
PRIME-4-REWARD COMPENSATION PLAN – RESIDUAL INCOME EARNING
Success could be considered a skill. The skill of success is founded in a positive attitude, teamwork, and perseverance. Be sure to encourage and motivate your team members who are interested in building their DirectMatches business with you. When everyone works together and fosters a positive environment, success is ensured!
Okay, but how much can an Independent Representative earn? You have two options. Simply pick the one that suits you best. A Managing Independent Representative has an earnings potential of up to $6,000 per week, an Executive Independent Representative has an earnings potential of up to $12,000 per week!
You will start to earn sales volume on commission cycles based on (NEW) volume activity after you upgrade your membership. Volume accumulated BEFORE you upgrade will not count in your sales cycle. However, renewal sales will accumulate.
DIRECTMATCHES PRIME-4-REWARD COMPENSATION PLAN
Derives Income From Four Separate Sources
The Prime–4-Reward compensation plan is an industry first – four sources of sales volume flowing through one plan, powerful yet easy to understand. Income is derived from paid business customers, paid non-business customers, and upgraded Managing and Executive business builders.
The Prime-4-Reward pay plan, coupled with the MRM System, makes it possible for anyone to earn a substantial weekly income, part-time or full-time!
Business cannot be conducted without some form of human interaction. As you build relationships through DirectMatches, you will simultaneously build your income.
DirectMatches is easy, fun, lucrative and simply the perfect home business!

The MRM System reduces the need to be a professional sales person, aids duplication through technology, and increases participation.
