How Three Team Layers Fit Together

Follow one imaginary invitation chain to see how Layer 1, Layer 2 and Layer 3 fit together.

Three team layers can sound complicated until you follow one invitation at a time. Let us use an imaginary example with Alex, Sam and Jo. These names illustrate the relationships in a team.

You invite Alex directly. From your point of view, Alex is in Layer 1. You help Alex learn the basics and find the relevant instructions. Over time, Alex becomes comfortable explaining those steps to someone else.

Alex then invites Sam. Sam is Alex’s direct invitation and sits in your Layer 2. Alex leads the welcome, while you can help with questions that need more support. You now have a connection to someone beyond the person you originally invited.

Later, Sam invites Jo. Jo sits in your Layer 3. Each relationship has grown through a direct invitation by the person immediately above it. Alex still sees Sam as their own Layer 1 member, and Sam sees Jo as their own Layer 1 member.

A registration establishes where someone belongs in this structure. Eligible team earnings are calculated from members’ actual personal task commissions using the applicable layer rates for your current rank. Check those rates and any qualification requirements in the team earnings rules.

The practical job is to help each person understand the process well enough to support their own direct members. Alex can look after Sam, and Sam can look after Jo. You can stay available to Alex and help resolve questions that travel back through the team.

The pace will depend on people’s choices and participation. This example gives you a way to understand the relationships as they develop. Try drawing your own team on paper, marking each invitation and the layer it creates from your point of view. That sketch can help you see who is supporting whom.
