If each distributor just recruits 10 people and those 10 recruit 10 more, to a depth of 10 layers, it would take 10 billion people to fill this distributorship, well in excess the earth's population. Here is an easy diagram to see what population is needed (given that every person on earth wants the product or service):
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 10 |
| 3 | 100 |
| 4 | 1,000 |
| 5 | 10,000 |
| 6 | 100,000 |
| 7 | 1,000,000 |
| 8 | 10,000,000 |
| 9 | 100,000,000 |
| 10 | 1,000,000,000 |
If one changes the equation to only recruiting six at each level, the numbers still become astronomical very quickly:
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 6 |
| 3 | 36 |
| 4 | 216 |
| 5 | 1,296 |
| 6 | 7,776 |
| 7 | 46,656 |
| 8 | 279,936 |
| 9 | 1,679,616 |
And the likelihood is that you are not number one. You are already downline in that chain. Do you live somewhere with enough population available to support the sales of this product?
