The Better Living Global Marketing compensation plan revolves around the sale of Bidder’s Paradise bid packs for $1160 to either recruited affiliates or retail customers.
An annual fee (recurring) of $15 is also charged, bringing the total price of each bid pack to $1175.
A Better Living Global Marketing affiliate’s reserve wallet is an electronic wallet from which an affiliate can only purchase Bidder’s Paradise bid packs from.
All of the commissions paid out by Better Living Global Marketing have a reserve wallet component, with any funds placed in the reserve wallet unable to be cashed out directly by an affiliate.
Better Living Global Marketing charge affiliates $11.62 a month from their reserve wallet balance.
Erroneously labelled a “retail commission” despite the fact that it pays out if a recruited affiliate purchases a bid pack, Better Living Global Marketing’s “retail commission” is paid out at 18% of the $1160 paid for a bid pack.
This equates to $208.80 per pack sold, with an additional 2% ($23.20) held by the company and placed into an affiliate’s reserve wallet.
Leadership Bonus
The Leadership Bonus makes up 3% of every bid pack sold, and is paid out using a unilevel compensation structure.
A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of the structure with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1).
If any of these level 1 affiliates go on to recruit new affiliates of their own, they are then placed on level 2 of the unilevel. If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretically unlimited amount of levels.
Using the above unilevel compensation structure, Better Living Global Marketing pay out 3% of every bid pack sold by any affiliates in a unilevel team. How many levels on the unilevel are counted for the Leadership Bonus depends on an affiliate’s own membership rank:
- Manager – 3 levels
- Director – 4 levels
- Vice-President – 5 levels
The Leadership Bonus is split into two payments, with 2.7% ($31.32) of the 3% total being paid to the affiliate and the remaining 0.3% ($3.48) being put into their reserve wallet.
Business Volume Bonus
The Business Volume Bonus is paid out using a binary compensation structure. A binary compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of the structure with two positions branching out directly under them.
These two positions are the beginning of two sides, with each position in turn branching out into a further two positions and so on and so forth.
Each of these binary positions is filled either via direct recruitment or the recruiting efforts of an affiliate’s up and downlines.
As new affiliates are recruited a binary team grows and whenever a Bidder’s Paradise bid pack is sold, it is credited to either the left or right side of the binary (depending on which affiliate sold the pack).
For each bid pack sale matched on both the left and right side of the binary, a $58.50 commission is paid out. $6.50 is also withheld by the company and placed into an affiliate’s “sustainability wallet”.
An affiliate’s sustainability wallets appear to the same as their reserve wallet, with funds available in the wallet only able to be used to purchase more bid packs.
Note that the Business Volume Bonus is capped at 8 bonuses per day per unit. Better Living Global Marketing don’t specify how the cap is worked out, but given the daily limit it appears to be some sort of queueing system.
Profit Sharing
When a Bidder’s Paradise bid pack sold or purchased by affiliates, the affiliate who referred the customer or recruited the affiliate earns a daily commission for 99 days.
This commission is paid out 6 times a week (skipping Sundays), with Better Living Global Marketing matching all Profit Sharing payouts and placing the matching funds in an affiliate’s reserve wallet.
Bid Unit Matrix
Typically if a matrix compensation model is used a company places affiliates in the matrix to fill up positions. In Better living Global Marketing, the company instead creates positions in a company-wide matrix for every Bidder’s Paradise bid pack purchased.
Better Living Global Marketing’s company-wide matrix is identical to a binary, with each position in the matrix splitting into an additional two positions (being a matrix there are no sides).
When a Bidder’s Paradise bid pack is purchased by an affiliate or sold to a customer, a position is created in the matrix. Over time positions underneath the bid pack position will up and for each position under the bought position (capped at a 2×12 matrix within the company-wide matrix), Better Living Global Marketing pay affiliates $3.87 per position.
Each bid pack position has a potential 8,190 matrix positions under it (within the ever-growing company-wide matrix), and thus can generate a maximum of $31,695 a month if it fills up with bought bid pack positions.
