What is Binary MLM Plan?

The Binary MLM Plan is a widely-used multi-level marketing (MLM) compensation structure in which each member is allowed to recruit and place only two direct downline members, forming two “legs” — typically referred to as the left leg and the right leg. This simple and structured approach makes it one of the most popular MLM plans in the industry.

How Does Binary MLM Plan Work?

The new members sponsored by distributors are added either on the left leg or right leg. Upon adding two new members on either side of the subtree, a binary tree gets formed.All the new members referred after forming a binary tree gets spilled to the downlines.

Before looking into the structure, try to understand the difference between a Sponsor and the Parent of a downline.

Sponsor: The sponsor is the person who introduced the new member to the binary network.

Parent: The distributor, who is the direct upline of the new member introduced to the binary network.

Two Legs System

Each distributor can recruit a maximum of two members directly under them, creating two legs. Additional recruits beyond two are placed in the downlines of existing team members, known as spillover.

Balancing the Legs

To maximize earnings, distributors must balance the volume or activity in both legs. Commissions are typically calculated based on the weaker leg’s performance (commonly called the pay leg).

Spillover Benefits

Leaders can place their extra recruits under their downline members, which motivates team growth and collaboration.

Cycle Completion

A “cycle” is completed when the required sales volume or recruits are achieved in both legs, triggering commissions.

Structure 1: The Sponsor & the Parent of downlines are the same.

If a distributor X sponsors A and If A sponsors a new member B to the left position of A in the binary network, then B is the direct downline of A. If again A referred a new member C, then it is added to the right position of A since it was the vacant position.
Now B, C are the direct downlines of A and the binary of A is formed to get the binary commission. A is the sponsor as well as the parent of B, C.

Structure 2: The Sponsor and the Parent of the downline are different.

Binary MLM Plan

If a distributor X sponsors A and If A sponsors a new member B to the left position of A in the binary network, then B is the direct downline of A. If again A referred a new member C, then it is added to the right position of A since it was the vacant position.
Now B, C are the direct downlines of A and the binary of A is formed to get the binary commission. A is the sponsor as well as the parent of B, C.

Structure 3: Spillover without completely forming the binary .

Here distributer X sponsors two new members A and B, where A is placed under the left leg of X And B is placed under the right leg of X and binary of X is formed . Now distributer A sponsors new member C to the right leg as the left leg of A is filled by the new member Y, who is sponsored again by X. X also sponsors Z and places to the right of B. Here Y, Z is spillover and placed under the downlines of X i.e A and B . Y is placed under the left downline of X i.e A and Z is placed under the right downline of X i.e B When you look into the picture, it is understood that the two spillovers occurred on two sides of X without completely forming the binary on either side.
