What the hell is a forced matrix?
I dunno… Just kidding. I thought I’d just write a quick entry to explain what a forced matrix is because there are a lot of bizz ops on the net that have these mysterious ‘forced matrices’ so if you don’t know what they are, read on!
A forced matrix is used in some multi level marketing bizz opps to limit the number of referrals a member can refer. This is a good thing because it helps to grow your downline much quicker. Lets say for instance, that the forced matrix is four referrals wide and you manage to sign up five people. You will then have four people under you on your first level. The remaining person would be placed under a referral on your level one so they would be on your level two. (See diagram below)
Most forced matrices are deeper than they are wide, the deeper you get in the matrix, the better the rewards because you are generating more income from the larger range of referrals. If a forced matrix, is 4×8 (4 wide by 8 deep), the amount of potential referrals in your downline would be a staggering 87,380.
Level 1 - 4
Level 2 - 16
Level 3 - 64
Level 4 - 256
Level 5 - 1,024
Level 6 - 4,096
Level 7 - 16,384
Level 8 - 65,536
Total - 87,380
Thats a huge number of referrals and it would be really difficult to achieve those numbers on your own but with a forced matrix sytem its not uncommon to reach numbers like this quite quickly.

Interesting, ‘I dunno‘ woulda been my answer too, and I wouldn’t have been kidding.
But now that I do know, I have a hard time accepting your statement, “…its not uncommon to reach numbers like this quite quickly.“ Can you provide some examples?
Most people, I think, are easily impressed by big numbers, but don’t really understand that they don’t happen by magic. Somebody, a lot of somebodies, have to do the work.
