A Spillover Binary Plan is a structure used in network marketing (MLM) or affiliate programs. It’s based on the binary compensation model, where each member can have a maximum of two direct recruits (left and right leg). When additional recruits are added beyond the two, the system creates a “spillover” effect, placing them in the next available spot in the downline under someone else. Here’s how it works:
🔹 Key Features of a Spillover Binary Plan
- Two-Leg Structure:
Each person has two positions (left and right). Any additional recruits go below those two. - Spillover Effect:
If you recruit more than two people, the extra ones “spill over” into your downline — often benefiting team members under you. - Teamwork Encouraged:
Uplines help build downlines for their team members due to the spillover. This creates a strong incentive for collaboration. - Volume Matching:
Commissions are typically based on matching volume between the left and right legs (e.g., 1:1 or 1:2 volume ratio). - Binary Commission:
You earn commissions when a certain volume of sales or recruits is generated on both legs. Often there’s a cycle payout when legs match.
🔸 Example of Spillover
Let’s say:
- You recruit 3 people: A, B, and C.
- A and B go to your left and right legs.
- C becomes a spillover and is placed under A or B’s downline, depending on system logic or your weaker leg.
This helps A or B build their team and encourages them to stay active.
✅ Advantages
- Helps new recruits see growth early.
- Encourages teamwork and mentoring.
- Faster downline development.
⚠️ Potential Drawbacks
- People may rely on spillover and not recruit.
- Uneven leg development (power leg vs. weak leg).
- Can become complex to manage over time.
