I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my team as well as prospects on how the dubli commissions (earnings) work. Here’s the nitty gritty:

You earn money as a business associate in a number of ways. I’ll go through the list of all of the income generation possiblilites so far below. Each falls into one of two categories:

• Income dependant on the level of package (Gold, Silver or Bronze) that you buy when you become an associate.
• Income dependant on the organization (Team Member, Team Leader, Team Coordinator, Sales Director, and Vice President) level you are.

Commission based on the package you buy as a Business Associate (bronze, silver, gold):

After you buy your license to become a dubli Business Associate($175), you need to buy a credit package to market your business and to resell. You can buy a bronze package for $575 (800 credits), a silver package for $1,350 (2,00 credits) or a gold package for $2,995 (5,000 credits). If you purchase a bronze or silver to begin with, you can upgrade for the difference in price to a gold package within the first 30 days after joining.

The level that you purchase into determines your earning power on the following dubli earning opportunities:

• The resale of credits. When you buy a gold package, you have purchased the credits at a 25% discount from retail price. That means that when you resell them, you earn the margin between what you paid ($0.60) and what you sell them for ($0.80). Technically, this is a 33% margin – pretty good ($0.80 – $0.60 = $0.20 | $0.20 / $0.60 = 33%) . But remember, you bought them for a 25% discount. If you bought a bronze package, you bought in at a 10% discount. All of the income from the sales of your credits is, therefore, entirely tied to the package you purchase.
• The shopping portal revenue. Now that the shopping portal is up and running, customers will begin to purchase items through the merchants featured there. When one of your customers does this, you will get a percentage of the revenue that dubli gets. This percenage is based on the credit package that you bought. For example, if one of your customers buys a new computer through a merchant on the shopping portal for $1,000 and dubli get 5% of the revenue generated (these are totally made up numbers – I have NO idea how much dubli will make when someone buys through the shopping portal. I do know that it is a revenue sharing model, however, so the commission that they get is based on the purchase price of the items sold.) So, $1,000 X  5% = $50. Dubli gets $50 in this case. If you are a gold package business associate, you get 25% of $50 = $12.50. If you are a bronze package member, you get 10% X $50 = $5.00.

One more thing. As a gold member, you meet one of the criteria to earn a really generous bonus. This bonus cannot be earned if you are not a gold member within the first 30 days of joining.

Commission based on the ORGANIZATION level you are:

As you introduce people to your business and sponsor them on as business associates, your level in the dubli organization changes. When you first join, you are a Team Member. After you attract and sponsor 3 people, you become a Team Leader. If three people that you have sponsored each sponsor three people, you become a Team Coordinator. You can move from there to Sales Director and then to Vice President. Each of these indicates your organization level. And, you earn money base on this. Here’s how:

• As you sponsor people into the business and they buy credit packages from dubli, you earn a commission. The higher your organization level, the more you earn. A Team Member earns 5% of the amount of the credit package purchased. A Team Coordinator earns 15% of the amount of the credit package purchased. This isn’t just when they start out. If one of the associates that you sponsored in sells all of his/her credits and buys another package to resell, you get that commission as well. Also, you earn a % of credit package purchases from sponsors of your sponsors, depending, again, on your organization level.
• Partner Program:  Business Associates can sell a partner program license. This would be sold to an organization with a large list of loyal people with e-mail addresses. If you don’t know about this program, I believe that I talked about it in an earlier post. I’ll reference it in a comment. In any case, the amount you earn from this program is determined by your organization level.

The actual amount of commission you earn from associates brought into the business by those already in your organization is determined by not only your level in the organization, but by the level of organization of your people. It get’s pretty wordy to explain, although its a simple concept. But the point is that this commission you earn is base on organization level and not package level.

New ways to make money with dubli are on the way according to the leaders of the company. And each will be dependant on either your package level or your organization level.

Now go out and make some money!
