The Matrix
The 2 x 5 Forced Matrix
All subscribers, free and paid, are placed in a 2 x 5 "forced matrix" pay structure when they initially subscribe.
Please Note: Free and inactive subscribers are compressed out during commission runs.
2 x 5 means that each affiliate has two positions directly connected to him or her, one to the left and one to the right directly below their own. Each of these positions, likewise has two connecting positions below them, and so forth.
There are 5 rows, or LEVELS. This means that, numerically each row or level has twice as many positions as the row above. It's called a "forced" matrix because, since each position only has two direct downline positions, additional invitees are "forced" below existing positions.
For example, if you sponsor Joe and Mary then Joe would be placed in your first position (your left downline position) and Mary would be placed in your second position (your right downline position). If you were to then sponsor Andrew, he would be placed under Joe, filling Joe's first, or left, downline position, since your only two direct connected positions are full.
Affiliates that are forced under other affiliates are called "spillover" affiliates.
Again, although Free Subscribers are placed in this structure, they can not earn from it until they have upgraded to one of our Premium subscriptions or have earned qualifying rank and personally sponsored a minimum of 2 Preferred Customers.
IMPORTANT: Commissions are paid on a COMPRESSED 5 levels or rows. In other words, free affiliates are skipped and not counted when 5 levels are calculated for commission payments.
