Does anyone know of an open source or free multi level marketing (MLM) system? Even if it’s just a PHP script? In my research, this seems to be something that is currently missing in the open source world. That or I could be horrible at searching the web. Which is definitely a possibility!
I ask this because there are a ton of multi level marketing companies out there, and it seems that if there was an open source project were available that many could benefit from it. It seems that there would be a ton of money that could be contributed to the project because of the sheer size of the market. If you know of any answers to my question above than please leave your comment and share the info you know. It would be neat to contribute to such a project. Thanks!
Update: October 14, 2010 = Still nothing! Many comments and much discussion but still not anything really substantial. As soon as I can raise up enough funds here on ChaseSagum.com i’m going to fund this operation myself and getting this Open Source project up and running.

I’M VERY CLOSE – IF I had a php programmer here, in St. Petersburg FL, with me I’d have it ready for anyone’s products – - I’d be all set…
The economy is bad enough however the attitude of programmers around here is the pits – they all want to hold their ability hostage…
they lose in the end – guess who is becoming a programmer ???

I’ve modified another script – it is working quite well – after I worked on the code for a while – I haven’t had a chance to test the whole thing yet but I think I’m close…

We exchanged a few w-mails – but I never did get to see what he had so far.
I ran out of time and had to spend the $$ – glad I did, in the end.
It’s a very robust system and the guy and his team behind it have been doing MLM coding for years and have many clients. So, they sort of know what you need before you do. Best of all, if you want a feature, you just turn it on. Everything I’ve needed so far has been a “flip of the switch.”

April 10, 2009
Hello All!
I have been very busy working with an excellent programmer recently and I can say we are almost ready to test out MLM system…
It will launch as a small investors social network of sorts. with a forced 2X3 expanding matrix… Something that will provide a replacement to Social Security (a good back up if the SS system fails) The program we will present can best be described as a privatized retirement program.
There is a free and premium membership that will be available – the site will incorporate a networking for business to business, entrepreneur to entrepreneur, investor to investor, and etc…
With in the site, part of the premium members back office, will be the premium members own e-wallet… They will/can contribute into their e-wallet small amounts of money ready to become part of any new ventures they see coming available – The member can hold the weekly contributions in their own accounts at a bank if they wish – totally up to the member, as long as they can discipline themselves and put a small amount of money away every week – just like the government does when they take your SS contribution out of your pay check…
Also available on the site, and the main entity, is, what we call, the white pages section. Within this section members will become acquainted with new inventions, products, and services ready for production and needing finances to bring them to fruition – these white pages will explain the business plan of the inventor etc and provide an opportunity something like an IPO or initial public offering – call this an internal private offering, if you will.
Also within the site is a classifieds section – an auction and reverse auction – linked member websites (to help with their optimization) – online community pages – internal social networks for their networking need, – and whatever else we can link in…
The social network will grow exponentially through the use of the forced 2X3 expanding matrix (when the 2×3 is full, 14 people, another leg opens up, 7 more people, then another leg and etc….
An incentive is provided to all those premium members within an up-line from three levels deep… the matrix is filled automatically or from a premium members replicated website…
OK that is a small gimps of what the program is going to do – we can add any product to this existing program or we can customize the program to fit anyone’s needs. Unfortunately it will have to be proprietary… The time and effort I made to complete this program and the difficulty I had with programmers to participate in this project left me no alternative but to make it proprietary…
I wish the community of programmers could have been more cooperative; However it just didn’t work out that way…
I will become very happy to help out the community once I can get this project launched – thanks for all you all’s understanding…
When the program launches please help propagate the program for us so we can make sure we have all the bugs out – if you see financial rewards worth contributing as a premium member we encourage you to join us…
Regards
Dennis

Steve Maz
August 6, 2009
Tom,
Low-end product and CHEAP implies that you may need something as simple as an Affiliate management system. I did a lot of research on those when I first got started. I’ve included the link to one of the best ones I could find here. We actually used it for another project I did and it was fantastic. They even use their own product to manage their affiliate program. Use it to pay straight commissions x levels deep.

Just as most of you have noticed there are no “howto” or basic Affiliate/mlm to go off of as of the date of this posting.. I’m also seeing if I can clone one and/or make one also.. When I do I can post a sample of how it was made so others understand how they work..

I have started developing an MLM software for binary and unilevel systems.
The following functionalities I have developed so far:
1. Membership – Registration, Modifying member information
2. Login
3. Unilevel, Binary Income statements.
4. Products module, points systems of products.
To be developed:
1. Genealogy – still acquiring knowledge how to present like the other MLM websites have done.
This is where I am stucked.
I am using Dreamweaver CS3, MySQL and PHP.
For local development, I have installed XAMPP,
If there are any developers willing to collaborate for developing this software, please send me email, so that we can post this in Sourceforge.

I have built a PHP/MySQL MLM Software program with a developer. It took a few years and is 90% completed. It runs unlimited forced matrix or unilevel plans with member’s area and many other unique features. Unfortunately, the programmer I was working with had projects that he had to complete for income and we never got back to completing the software.
I would make this software open source if I had a really competent PHP programmer to work with to finish it. It would be an awesome program for anyone to build a huge affiliate or MLM business with once all the modules were finished.

Log in using the username admin and the password password to examine the features. Note that this demo site is not an open source application.
Within 8 months we will be releasing a version that contains major changes and additional features. That time we will distribute it as an open source application that will serve a simple unilevel and binary marketing model.

I posted a message some time ago regarding MLM Software that a programmer and I were building and we were selling it for $50 with it’s core components working really well. It was being used by others and can be used for any size forced matrix and any type of unilevel plan with unlimited width and unlimited depth. Some of the features are on an old website created which was bear-soft.com (B.E.A.R being Business Enterprise Automation & Replication) but if you replace any links to bear-soft with bear.permahost.com you can see what the software did.
Some neat features being an automated web installer that was created so people could easily input their FTP details and upload the software automatically to their server and be up and running in minutes after some simple control panel settings.
http://www.bear.permahost.com/software/grizzly/upload/
The back office/member’s area is all created, visible ‘tree’ downline viewer and ability to have whatever data displayed for members in their back office. The admin panel was being created to be easy to manage and configure. A view of it can be seen here.
http://www.bear.permahost.com/grizzly/admin/
User: demo
Pass: demo
This project has been on hold since the programmer engaged in other high paying work so I’m keen to work with others to complete the project. Can be a really good solution for Open-Source MLM.
The reason I started on a project like this is that I created an MLM program with other software that had problems. I had over 140,000 people in the program with bad software so wanted to create my own and got this far.
Anyone interested in resurrecting this software. Work as a team to develop it. I have many ideas on what can be incorporated to create a simple to use and powerful program for others.
Let me know if interested. Skype ‘permaworld’ or 250-352-0910

February 8, 2011
I actually built one for secrets.com. This system allows widths to be unlimited, however only 5 levels deep.
You can set your own percentages and add products.
This site was specialized and only permitted one purchase at a time. If you try to use the site you will see why.
So now, I have a client I am building a site for. It did not and will not cost $25k. I will post it when it is done.

Hi all
I did finally come up with a program that is not free but cheep enough ….
I’m using the script on my we trust.us webpage …
The only thing this $69 program won’t do is automaticly expand after the 2×3 force matrix is full…
I think the origonal software was called riscklessinvestments… http://www.phplug.com/riskless_investment_system.html
thanks for all the interest – I still I could get this script to expand when matrix fills however by having member buy in again I can accomplish what I was looking to do on this site —
I am plannoing a new product launch soon so I hope I can come up with the expanding 2×3 forced matrix…
Thanks

It is a challenge to locate MLM Software.
In my sphere, providing Consulting and Software development to the MLM Industry for almost 17 years, I have not found viable Free MLM Software, or Low Cost. Technology advances requiring MLM System to advance, as well. Ongoing development generally means employees, meaning costs.
MLM Software is Vital to the success of your company.
Consider taking time to research all systems and be willing to pay for software that is vital to the success of your company.
Consider your ability to communicate with the provider for ongoing support, questions, or concerns.
Be prepared. No system is perfect. Those that look pretty on the outside are often disasters on the inside. Those that look horrible on the outside could be gems on the inside.
It is an important decision and should be approached cautiously.

Im currently looking to buiold my own php/mysql system, preferably something that integrates into WordPress as a plugin. Im just starting out with this and it seems like pretty much all the MLM software out there is crap. One of my clients uses Plexum which I had some terrible experiences integrating into his main wordpress site. Something I provably never want to do again. Any leads into open source projects would be greatly appreciated.
WP-MLM Forced Matrix Recruiting Plugin For WordPress
October 12, 2011
I have developed a WordPress plugin which turns any website into a forced matrix recruiting system for any online business. It currently is for promoting other “third party” MLM’s and not set up to run a MLM itself, however I might be interested in opening up the code to do development of add on plugins to work with WP-MLM to add that functionality.

I am relaunching my MLM /affiliate company on Jan 1, 2012. I have had paying members for 5 months now and it is, as far as I know the first ever internet marketing training company that is MLM based. I only have 20 to 30 paying members. Does anyone know where I can get reasonably priced MLM software for this? I am having an affiliate, a 2 wide, 3 wide, and 4 wide by 8 level deep matrix system. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have surfed all day and cannot find what I am looking for…John Jarvis
