Thanks for dropping in on my unbiased Global MoneyLine review!
This thing appears to be sweeping the world of online money making like a wildfire.
But why are so many amateur MLMers, affiliates, and opportunity seekers hopping on to this bandwagon like crazy, huh?
More importantly, is the program ethical or simply another filthy rotten SCAM that’s circulating the planet?
Dive into THIS review for the truthful answers you seek…
Quick Overview
Name: Global MoneyLine (GML).
Website: secure.globalmoneyline.com.
Cost: Free to get started. $20 – $1,000 for Bronze – Double Diamond packages.
Owner: “Big John” LOL.
My Score: 2/10.
Verdict: Borderline Scam (Not Recommended).
Summary:
Global MoneyLine is supposed to make life easier for you when it comes to building an email subscriber list.
Except, there are MANY flaws to the program, and it simply does not work as advertised – in terms of building you a “profitable” list.
But I’ll let my FULL review do all the talking because there are too many cons to highlight lol.
Unfortunately, the only real way to turn a buck with ‘GML’ is by recruiting and earning from others who do the same as you…
Buying costly membership packages that lack substance.
In other words, ‘GML’ is a recruitment/pyramid scheme (whatever you want to call it) more than anything. UGH.
But before sinking your teeth into this review…

What is Global MoneyLine All About, Eh?
Global MoneyLine is basically a digitized version of “let’s all do the conga”.
Except, it’s on a worldwide scale and comes without the cheesy 80s tune LOL.
Joking aside, ‘GML’ is exactly what it says on the tin…
One long line of folks across the world wanting to make a buck on the web.
More specifically, it’s just one giant line of opportunists promoting stuff to one another.
In addition, you can make money from promoting your own ‘GML’ affiliate link and reeling in paid members who join your downline.
Which basically makes it a “recruitment scheme”, in my book.
How Does This Global MoneyLine Thing Work?
Once you become a free member, anyone across the world who joins after you is automatically placed into your downline.
Your downline continues to grow day-after-day.
Which means the more folks you can “SPAM” with junk (sorry, I meant promote your MLM Biz Opps and offers to). 😛
Just 3 days after I joined ‘GML’, over 570 people were placed into my money line.
Pretty impressive, hey?
But don’t get too excited because there are two major downsides to being a “FREE” member.
CON #1 – You can only message ONE person in your downline at a time.
So be prepared to be chained to your keyboard until the end of time.
CON #2 – When your messages get blasted out to your leads, they’re gonna be seen LAST.
Why? Because, “PAID” members get top priority.
By the time folks in your downline have finished scrolling through premium member ads, they’re simply not gonna give a rats ass about your promotions.
Want some additional proof?
See a negative review I found on LeadsLeap from a disgruntled member of ‘GML’.
So in my opinion, it’s pretty pointless being a free member because there’s no income to be generated.
For at least a chance of making any money from your downline, you must become a paid member (I’ll dive into the costs shortly).
HOWEVER, since every man and his dog is promoting the “latest and greatest” MLM biz opp, traffic service or Bitcoin tripe…
I don’t see how anyone could benefit financially from the program.
Put simply, folks join to PROMOTE their offers, not BUY others stuff. It kinda reminds me of IBO Toolbox in a way.
So it’s one of the reasons why results suck for numerous members.
How do Global MoneyLine Members “Really” Make Money?
‘GML’ is in fact, a sugar-coated “SCHEME” because the so-calle product delivers very little to no value.
Folks mainly stick around for promoting the program…
So they can earn commissions from recruiting other suckers who choose to upgrade.
But how much can you earn from bringing other paid members into the program?
You can receive $20 – $1,000 in one-time payments from each person who upgrades, depending on the membership package they choose.
You get to keep 100% of their investments, which basically makes it nothing more than a “cash gifting” program.
The Membership Packages Are as Follows:
- BRONZE = $20
- SILVER = $50
- GOLD = $100
- PLATINUM = $250
- DIAMOND = $500
- DOUBLE DIAMOND = $1,000
Each package allows members to send a certain number of messages at a time to their downlines.
Obviously, the more expensive the package, the more folks you can reach.
You also get additional benefits when upgrading.
BUT in order to make money from your paid referrals, you must also invest in the same packages yourself.
For example, you must be at BRONZE level to earn from BRONZE members, so on and so forth.
So realistically speaking, ‘GML’ could cost you an arm and a leg to earn from others.
I’m sorry, but what a JOKE!
Take my advice… put your $100s to better use by investing in a REAL money-making system like 12 Minute Affiliate or Commission Hero.
Any Tools, Training & Support From Global MoneyLine?
In addition to messaging your downline with offers…
You can place ads within the members’ area, and also have access to Communication and Genealogy tools.
However, you must upgrade your account before you can gain access.
There’s also a Marketing tab for assisting you with making money from promoting ‘GML’.
When it comes to the training, it’s just simple stuff that walks you through the program.
So there’s nothing of real value for building a successful digital business, if I’m being totally honest with you.
As for help, you can either message the person who referred you (your upline) or submit a ticket to the support center.
PROS vs CONS of Global MoneyLine
PROS
- Become a member of at no cost
- Create advertisements & message members
- Make money from paid referrals
- Support is available
CONS
- The dashboard area is overwhelming & trashy
- The free membership is extremely restricted
- You must upgrade for additional benefits & earnings
- The product is ineffective
- The owner keeps his true identity hidden
- It comes across as nothing but a PONZI/cash gifting scheme
Final Thoughts: Is Global MoneyLine a Scam?…
I’m gonna be totally bold here by saying that Global MoneyLine is a borderline scam.
There are a number of VERY good reasons why I say this:
#1: The program doesn’t provide any products of REAL value.
The people who you promote products and services to, want to do the exact same thing as you.
So how can anyone succeed when everybody is promoting biz opps, etc? It’s a dead audience.
#2: The emphasis is on recruiting other suckers into the scheme.
That’s how ‘GML’ members really earn their dollars.
And since members make 100% profit from their paid referrals, also makes it a cash gifting scheme.
#3: The owner doesn’t reveal his identity.
Folks who hide behind computer screens can’t really be trusted, in my experience.
There are other aspects I dislike about ‘GML’ too…
A members’ area that looks like it’s from the 90s, members promoting hyped up garbage, and some features limited/locked until you upgrade.
If you want to become a professional marketer and build a REAL list of target leads for your online biz…
Then learn how to build a sales funnel or your own squeeze page, learn how to promote it effectively, and also learn the ins and outs of email marketing.
Sick & Tired of Crappy Scam-Like Products That Don’t Work?…
At the end of the day, if you wanna build a profitable affiliate marketing Biz or any other type of online Biz for that matter…
Then learn the appropriate internet marketing skills and work your ass off at generating your own high quality traffic…
Instead of joining recruitment schemes like ‘GML’.
This brings me to my #1 recommended program…
When you join Wealthy Affiliate, you won’t just get a free website, tools, and step-by-step training…
But also 24/7 support from a 2-million member strong community for turning your website into a successful Biz!
A MUCH better option, wouldn’t you agree?
Your Friend, Neil 😀
If you have any questions or negative experiences with ‘GML’ that you wish to share, we’d love to hear your thoughts below…
Hey Neil. I always put a hand out to anyone who uncovers an unscrupulous business. Sounds like a Global Moneyline straight to the owner’s pockets if you ask me. I wouldn’t come near it with a stick.
Unfortunately, there’s always suckers out there looking for an easy buck and ready to lose more. I’ve always been of the mind that nothing good comes without hard work.
The Wealthy Affiliate platform you put up against Global Moneyline sure looks a gazillion times better. Tell me, how did you first discover WA? Were you skeptical at first? Thanks for a great read and informative article. Geoff.
Hi, Geoff!
Cheers, man! Yep, the creator of GML is definitely the person who collects the money. It’s the same story with every MLM and Ponzi scheme.
I don’t blame you for staying the hell away from GML. Hard work is the only way anyone will ever earn and become financially free on the Internet. Period.
I was first introduced to WA through an MLM biz opportunity, believe it or not. Thankfully, I’m no longer part of the MLM world because WA opened up my eyes to a legit and more awesome way to build my own online business via blogging, SEO, and affiliate marketing.
Yeah, I was a little skeptical but when I followed the training, applied it and worked hard, I saw results. WA is the real deal for sure. 😀
You’re welcome!
Neil
Interesting, Your list of scams out there within this post. Just wanted to mention Empower Network, because that does seem to me to fall into place in this category, not to the same level as Global Moneyline or another cheap MLM downline company, but on a level of offering no real tangible evidence of building a real asset.
Glad you think so, Andrew!
Empower Network is an absolute disgrace and isn’t worth the mention. Yeah, EN certainly falls under the same category as GML… They’re both crap.
No Ponzi or MLM offers a genuine way to build a REAL business. Learning how to create an “Affiliate Marketing” business from scratch is the best way to earn an income.
I try mostly to stay away from anything that resembles a pyramid scheme. This one looks like a prime candidate.
Also, the schemes that say that everyone that joins after you is in your downline are dubious. Most of them will probably join free anyway and not do much else after that. To make Global Money Line work you are going to have to get working really hard in order to succeed.
Hi, Michel!
I’m glad to hear it! Pyramid/Ponzi schemes waste nothing but your time and money, and GML falls under one of those categories.
With everybody promoting their MLM opps and products to “everybody” within GML, I can’t see how people can actually make money other than from “upgrading” their GML membership and recruiting other “paid” GML members into the scheme.
Having a huge worldwide downline may seem appealing to free members, but it’s one big line of MLMers who don’t give a stuff about what’s being promoted from the upline.
I do agree with you that “HARD WORK” needs to be invested if members are gonna make money. Simply promoting stuff to a bunch of uninterested individuals isn’t gonna work.
I’m new to Internet marketing, and I hadn’t heard of Global Moneyline until reading your post. The name alone gives it away. What self-respecting, legitimate business owner would name his or her product Global Moneyline? The name just reeks of a scam.
Then you read how it supposedly works, throw in the idea of people being “under” you, and take a look at a handful of garbage ads that look like they were created 20 years ago, and it becomes painfully obvious.
I really don’t get how people don’t see through this type of stuff. There are so many scams and empty promises out there that it can make promoting a legitimate product that works like Wealthy Affiliate tough.
Thanks for helping spread awareness of one of many, many scams that are out there.
I’m happy that you found this post on time because any internet marketing noob needs to stay clear of GML. HA HA… I can see where you’re coming from with the name of the scheme too.
And YEAH, the GML ads are SPAMMY promotions like the ones from the 90s when I first started out online, especially with MySpace lol.
Unfortunately, some folks aren’t gonna see through GML because when “MONEY” is mentioned, they seem to lose common sense. GML is a never-ending process of advertisers chasing their tails and seeing little to no income with their biz opps. The only way to make money from GML is by peddling the scheme using your unique referral URL.
I do agree that trashy programs are putting a heck of a lot of pressure on LEGIT programs/products/services/opportunities. But it is a winnable battle for the likes of WA.
You’re very welcome!
As I read your article about Global Moneyline the thought occurred to me that it was some kind of Ponzi scheme or pyramid scheme.
I dearly hope anyone considering joining GML finds your article before it’s too late. You have definitely convinced me it’s a scam that only leads to heartache.
Thanks too for mentioning your #1 recommendation. I looked at it and was amazed that I can get started there for free.
When I first came across GML, I couldn’t quite figure it out. But then the title of the program kinda gives the game away. HA HA!
I think it’s already too late LOL. With the rate at which profiteers are joining the GML program, the line is growing at a rapid pace. But at least if I can save just a few people from falling into the trap, I’ll be one happy chappie! That’s awesome, and your heart has definitely been saved from aching, Gary! 😉
You’re very welcome, I’m happy to help! Being able to get a $0 cost starter account with WA is just one of the many amazing benefits.
Hi Neil,
Thanks for the article. Yes definitely sounds like a scam. I once went to a networking event where you had to recruit people and they all paid you two thousand dollars.
They then recruited others who had to pay them the same and you got x amount of commission on that.
It lasted about 6 months and some people made over $100,000. I made $12,000 but then it collapsed. I got people in who couldn’t get others into it and it cost them a lot of money and left a bad taste in my mouth.
There is no way I would join Global Money Line haha!
Thanks for exposing the scam 🙂
Kev
Hey, Kevin! 😀
It’s a pleasure, bud!
I wouldn’t exactly call it a networking event you attended because it definitely sounds like an illegal “Pyramid Scheme”. $2K is a joke, and only naive people would pay that sort of money… just like the folks who are paying for membership packages from GML.
OMG!!! You and others certainly made some mega bucks from that scheme but it also shows how quickly those scams can dry up and disappear.
Good on ya for not allowing GML to exploit you. An extremely wise choice, man!
No worries!
Neil
Hi,
Thanks for sharing. When I first came to your page, I found the Global Moneyline program you described didn’t look very professionally built.
The layout looked like most of the scam programs I have encountered.
Like most scam programs, it will be popular for a few months or few years at most and then fall off the face of the earth.
Some copycat will copy the technique and name it something different.
Sofia
Hey, Sofia!
No problemo, GML is a very tacky program indeed! Opportunities like this will always use the same type of imagery and wording you wanna see on the signup page to convince you to join. It’s all mind trickery – “look into my eyes”… LOL.
Once the growth of GML slows down and member investments eventually dry up, the owner will no doubt cut and run with a HUGE list of email leads and folks will drop out of the scheme. That’s my theory anyway.
I also agree with you that something similar to GML will eventually come along to rip even more people off.
Neil
I’ve been online since 97.
Now, this Global Money Line thing looks cheap but it’s super hot!
If you guys don’t see the potential of this, well I don’t know what will impress you!
I joined on March 2th, 2017 so the site HAS changed as I can see (since the last reviews).
You do get leads if you know what you are doing and it’s paying leads in my case. It’s people that PAID to join. In fact, it’s the highest quality leads in my entire network. AGAIN, if you know what you are doing. For me, it’s a gold mine.
It’s your call guys…
It seems like you’ve got a good number of years worth of internet marketing experience under your belt, Mike! Congrats on coming a long way with your online business. 🙂
Are you sure you’re not Simon Stepsys in disguise? Because that’s the kinda “biased” promotional talk he uses for Empower Network, MAPS (and now GML) LOL.
The only way for anybody to make any real money from GML is to learn the skills for building a successful business – working their ass off at building a website, and also injecting money into creating a sales funnel + email marketing software, and advertising the heck out of their squeeze page for leads, sales, and commissions. Like you say, you need to know what you’re doing to succeed with GML.
If you’ve been online since 1997, then you know it’s not so quick and simple to recruit a ton of paying leads into the GML scheme. This is generally something that successful MLMers fail to specify to newbies. Without the right training, tools, and support, no newbie can ever succeed in any opportunity.
OH, and thanks for also confirming that the way to earn with GML is to “RECRUIT PAID MEMBERS” LOL. However, I don’t see any of them as “HOT” or “HIGH QUALITY” leads, since they only join your downline to peddle their own biz opps and/or also make a buck promoting GML itself.
Dear Friend,
I have got 29,463 new joinees below me, but surprising I didn’t get even my invested money back…. Means it’s just a scam????
GML is a waste of time and money.
I class it as half scam and half legit lol. I wouldn’t bank on making a profit unless you’re promoting the program itself.
Have you generated any income from Global Money Line And what level are you?
I will answer on Mike’s behalf since he never returned to reply. 😛
The short answer is YES, Mike’s making money with GML, and judging from his comment, he’s more than likely a DOUBLE DIAMOND member.
Anyone who has been successful at online marketing/MLM since 1997 will not only potentially have thousands of prospects under their belt for helping them become a top recruiter in any MLM program, but they also have more than enough funds to go “all in” at the highest membership levels. (Simon Stepsys) springs to mind here.
Thanks so much Neil, for sharing your review on Global Money Line and on its pros and cons.
Looking at your great post, I think the cons far outweigh the pros and as we all know, the MLM kind of business model seems to be a Ponzi Scheme that seems to enrich those at the top of the Scheme. I have had a very bad experience with MLM and I think your review on this is very enlightening. Thanks for sharing.
No worries, Bonto! 😀
With GML and any other Ponzi scheme, the cons are always gonna outweigh the pros because there are very few benefits from joining and throwing your money into it. Not all MLMs are Ponzis/Pyramids, but there’s a very fine line between the 2 models.
You’re 100% correct! The only people who are gonna be highly profitable from GML are the individuals who have been involved in MLM for a while + have built up big lists of email subscribers/prospects, pro internet marketers, and especially the founder.
Sorry to hear about your poor experience with Multi-Level Marketing, but at least you can use it as a lesson for moving on to bigger, better and more profitable opportunities on the internet.
You’re welcome!
Hi Neil,
It’s truly a shame that there are not enough federal officials to go after, arrest and then prosecute the type of crooks such as those who created Global MoneyLine which is nothing but a 100% scam opportunity.
Really who would be stupid enough to believe that you could join for free – get nothing out of it only then to be told that in order to get any type of training or advice from “gurus” that it then involves a required upsell? Yet, sadly there still are naive individuals who would look at this fraud opportunity and believe that a profitable business could be created by being a member.
As you called it for what it is Neil, GML resembles a Ponzi Scheme and in addition to that an illegal pyramid business model where only those at the top of the pile rake in all of the dough. As I said the jerks who created this opportunity all belong in jail with the cell door key thrown away. Perhaps if a handful of these crooked companies can be blown up, with the leaders all convicted as criminals, only then would the world of online business opportunities begin to be cleaned up from the cesspool that unfortunately it still is.
Again side-by-side you illustrated the overwhelming difference between a legit company in Wealthy Affiliate compared to GML. Any person should be able to see which would be the better opportunity to build for oneself a legit online business.
Your grade of 2 out of 10 is quite appropriate Neil. Any human being getting involved in this scam opportunity even at the free level should quickly see that even one second spent in trying to build up a profitable business is time lost that will never be recovered.
Jeff
Hello, Jeff! 😀
Yep, it sure is a damn shame, and especially as online scams are getting out of control! B
I can name and shame a handful of MLMers/internet marketers who have fallen in love with GML and parted with their money so they can profit from sucking others into the shady scheme. Unfortunately, when it comes to Ponzi crap, you can always expect to fork out money for products/services that just don’t work. The naive people who do join GML are the same people who are already involved in poor-quality and rip-off MLM programs. When these types of individuals see “$ $ $ $” signs, their morals fly straight out of the window lol.
You’ll find that anyone who makes real money out of any MLM or Ponzi scheme is either gonna be the creator or somebody who has already been ripping folks off for a good number of years. The folks at the bottom of the pyramids lose money and make diddly-squat!
WA destroys GML, there’s no competition!
I’m glad you’re in agreement with me on the low score I awarded GML. It’s exactly what it deserves! Although, I would much prefer to rate GML a “0” lol.
Exactly, GML is more like a Global time waster!
Cheers, Neil.
