Matrix MLM Plan
Fixed-width × depth structure (3×7, 5×5, custom). Forced matrix with auto-fill from upline ensures fair distribution and predictable payouts.
Matrix plan in three steps
Step 1
A matrix plan limits the width of your frontline. In a 3×7 matrix, each member can sponsor exactly three direct downlines, and earns commissions seven levels deep.
Step 2
If a sponsor brings in a fourth or fifth member, those recruits "spill" downward into open positions in their team — filling the matrix from top to bottom, left to right.
Step 3
Once all positions in a matrix are filled, members can re-enter at the top of a new matrix and earn cycle bonuses, creating long-term residual income.
Bonuses included in this plan
Forced-matrix spillover
Recruits beyond your frontline width drop into open slots under your team automatically.
Level commissions
Earn a configurable percentage of volume from each of the configured levels (typically 5 to 10).
Cycle / re-entry bonus
When a matrix completes, the member cycles back to the top — earning a bonus and starting a new line.
Matching bonus
Earn a percentage of the level commissions paid to your direct downlines.
Rank promotions
Unlock new ranks as your filled levels grow, opening deeper level payouts.
Auto-compression
Inactive positions are compressed automatically so commissions roll up to the next qualified upline.
