A single-leg plan is the most common choice for the MLM firms that want a simple compensation plan for their organization. This plan is simplest amongst all the other plans; in this, the network structure is formed in the shape of a straight line. It will also become easy for the members to follow this plan as they have to follow a straight line structure only.

In this plan, every member that is recruited has to recruit just one distributor under him. This plan is more beneficial for the people who want to focus more on the sale of the products. In this plan, the chance of income is high and continuous as new members are added on a regular basis.

The member who is on the top of the single-leg plan gets more income. As when the numbers of distributors under him keeps on increasing, his profit will increase also. But when the lower level members add members below them, they also start earning profit.
