Monoline Plan
One line. First come, first served.
Monoline (single-leg or linear) is the simplest genealogy possible: everyone who joins the company is placed in a single straight line, in the order they joined. Your 'downline' is everyone who joined after you, no matter who sponsored them. There is no width, no legs and no placement decision.
The journey, step by step.
Join the line
Your position is the next number in the company-wide sequence.
Everyone after you is below you
Position 1,000 earns on positions 1,001 and onward, within the plan's depth.
Earn on depth
A % of volume from the next N positions (for example 50 or 100), or level-based percentages.
Sponsor bonus
A separate bonus for each person you personally enrol, wherever they land in the line.
Re-entry
When you have earned a set multiple, or at any time, you can buy a new position at the end of the line to keep earning.
Why companies choose it.
Because everyone benefits from everyone else's effort, monoline is extremely attractive for viral launches and membership platforms. Earnings are usually a percentage of volume from a fixed number of positions below you, plus sponsor bonuses for people you personally bring in.
DIRSL handles time-ordered placement, re-entries (buying a new position at the end of the line), line capping and qualification rules so monoline stays fair and compliant.
Position #412 in a 2,000-member line
- Paid depth: next 100 positions
- Membership: $50/month (25 BV)
- Line commission: 4% of BV on paid depth
- Sponsor bonus: $15 per direct (6 directs)
- Qualification: active membership
Early positions keep earning as long as they stay active, which is why companies cap depth and require re-entry.

| Level bonus | Line depth tiers | Decreasing by tier | Optional alternative to flat % |
| Re-entry bonus | Buying a new position | Position credit | Re-energises line |
