(Matrix plans have historically never worked, the sole exception being Melaleuca.) Contrary to popular opinion, binary plans do not favor the big hitter, they are not geared towards paying a select few, they don't limit the size your business can grow, they are not back end weighted, and companies with binary plans don't go out business any more often than those with a unilevel or stairstep plan. In fact, historically, far more companies with a matrix, unilevel, or stairstep plan have gone out of business than those with a binary plan. If you can't build 2 legs in a binary, you're certainly not going to build the 5-10 legs that typically you'll need to in a unilevel or stairstep plan in order to earn a sizable income. The reality is that around 20% of people qualify to earn checks, regardless of the pay plan. I'm a fan of Ty's, but his overview of binary plans leaves a lot to be desired. Of course I'm biased as I helped to pioneer the binary pay plan concept around 20 years ago. One thing is for certain-the binary plans of today have evolved and many of the original design flaws (being one legged and not being able to make money) have now been eliminated with features such as matching bonuses (even if you are one legged, you can still earn an above average or even extraordinary income provided you sponsor a few productive people.) In a typical unilevel or stairstep plan, you won't make a dime with just one productive leg because you don't have the width to be able to earn on the depth...for the average person, provided the binary plan is supported by a quality, consumable product, it is the only pay plan that makes any sense.

My upline will not let me. They are Losers.They are afraid I will pass them. I am a winner. I want to build my binary 6 legs wide. My upline will not let me.

I feel they limit the size that your business can grow to. Thanks for putting this post on here though, it was a good refresher. I have never been very fond of Binary comp plans.

I have loved your blog for years and respect your perspective on the industry. I did notice that you have not reported on Bazi Xelr8 terminating all of their distributors. They are apparently going retail. You may want to look into it. Ty

Sure Agel and Monavie are examples of binary plans designed to pay a top few most of the money that's not the fault of the binary system it's their loops and hoops and their intention of the management also yes I've worked binaries for 20 years love them never worked Usana but they are totally different to other binaries (Usana is an really old binary and has a very low max payout per income centre). Just like unilevels or breakaway plans the "devil is in the detail" we need to look at the whole plan. Binary plans generally do have real benefits and tend to create more team work having the opportunity to be paid in unlimited depth. anyway keep up the good work i enjoy your blogs Hi Guys
