Tutorial 1 — Where am I? Syndicate pool vs. syndicate downline

This is the first tutorial of three. Reading these tutorials will help you get going in the right direction with ts25. The program can seem a little confusing at first; if you stick with it for a few days and read each tutorial, you'll find that everything becomes clear.

If you are a new Silver (free) member

• As a new Silver member, you have been placed into the syndicate pool along with other Silver members. There are only Silver members in the syndicate pool because any member who upgrades is automatically placed into a syndicate (group of 25) within the syndicate downline.
• Your focus while in the syndicate pool is to earn a position in the syndicate downline. The syndicate downline offers more fun, more excitement, and significantly more traffic.
• While you are in the syndicate pool you can surf the network, refer new members, and do everything else you could do in the syndicate downline. Being in the pool does not restrict what you can do; it restricts only the amount you can earn, because there is no downline in the pool.
• At the end of every week (you can view the countdown in the members' area), all members in the syndicate pool are ranked and the top members are selected to enter the syndicate downline. At least one new syndicate is created from the pool every week.
• Weekly rankings are based on your personal traffic-credit earnings. You earn credits for surfing the network, referring others, viewing sites in the bid-per-click section, etc. Your total weekly earnings and your current ranking are visible in the members' area.
• At the end of each week your weekly earnings reset to zero, but the credits you have already earned are yours to keep and use for traffic.
• Every week another syndicate of 25 members joins the syndicate downline. If you'd rather skip the pool, simply upgrade to a premium membership and you'll be placed directly into a syndicate.

If you are a Gold or Platinum (premium paid) member

• As a Gold or Platinum member, you are placed into a syndicate within the syndicate downline automatically.
• As long as you remain a Gold or Platinum member, you cannot be bumped back to the pool.
• Although you always have a position within the downline, your position is reranked weekly: the top 25 members form the top syndicate, the next 25 form the next, and so on. Hard work can move you up significantly.
• If you cancel your monthly subscription you return to a Silver account but remain in the syndicate downline, with a 2,000 credit/week minimum to remain. If you fall below that you return to the syndicate pool.
• Everything you do contributes to the earnings of your syndicate, and that contributes to the earnings the syndicate receives from its downline.
