Powerline Network

MLM Pay Plans – The Powerline, is it a Revolution?

There are a lot of different pay plans in MLM and Network Marketing, and today we're going to take a look at one of the most recent innovations – the Matrix with a Powerline.

Matrix type programs have, like all pay plans, both strengths and weaknesses.

By 'forcing' a fixed number of personal sponsors, additional new members from you or your upline are 'spilled over' into the matrix. This grows your group as a whole.

There are, of course, several disadvantages:

1. Often, one 'leg' is much stronger than the others, growing while another sits idle.

2. Are you enabling people who are failing? By spillover, you put active distributors under those who aren't succeeding or even doing anything.

3. You can end up with 'holes' in your matrix

4. By dictating a maximum number of people in a matrix (say, a 4x5 matrix, for example), you are therefore fixing your maximum income.

All of these can also be advantages! If you're not a strong networker, you are getting help from above. Positive reinforcement and seeing results will encourage you to stick with it and continue to build. And, while the income if fixed at a maximum, you have a much higher potential to earn something, which again encourages everyone to keep working.

The Powerline concept adds a new twist on this, and is best represented by FillerUp Club right now.

It works like this – they dictate a matrix size, in this case a 10x5 matrix. This gives you a maximum of 111,110 places to be filled. (In their example, this gives you a maximum monthly income potential of just over 6-figures a month)

The 'powerline' is a secondary downline that's building at the same time. It fills across it's own matrix, filling in people's first levels. Once it completes one pass, it moves to the next level of the matrix, filling across.

The results?

1. 'Holes' in the matrix are filled in automatically.

2. You end up with a cooperative marketing approach! Your efforts are helping build not only your matrix, but the group for everyone in the company!

Although it appears complex, the Powerline concept is pretty simple. Although it can't address the 'disadvantage' of a matrix for capping your income, it helps to address the issue of success by encouraging all to work together and build everyone's group. I suspect we'll see many more programs with this pay-plan concept in the coming year.
