Module 7 is the full walkthrough. This section's only job is to tell you the path exists, what shape it is, and what it requires of you — then hand over.

1The shape

You can sell this guide and keep a share of the sale.

  • A flat percentage of each sale, paid to the person who made it.
  • Single level only. You are paid for sales you make. You are not paid for recruiting other affiliates, and there is no second tier. This is a non-negotiable in this product's own design documents, not a current setting that might change.
  • One product. The guide is sold as one thing, so there are no per-component splits to track.

The exact percentage is a live decision and this module deliberately doesn't quote one — Module 7 and the sales page carry the current figure, marked as provisional where it hasn't been settled.

2Why it's structured that boringly

Because the interesting-looking version is the one that gets people in trouble.

Multi-level structures — where you earn from the sales of people you recruited — carry real regulatory exposure and turn a product into a recruitment scheme. The single-level rule exists to keep this a sales commission and nothing else, and it isn't a setting anyone is going to loosen later.

3What it requires of you

Have actually used it. Not a rule anyone can enforce, and the reason is Module 4's, not a policy: you can't show proof of work for a thing you haven't done, and a pitch with no proof behind it is the weakest thing you can send.

Claim only what you can evidence. This matters more here than anywhere else in the guide, because you'd be selling a product about making money, which is the category with the worst reputation for exactly this reason.

You may say what you did. You may not say what someone else will earn — we can't say that either, and the sales page has a redacted paragraph where that claim would go, precisely because there's no evidence for it. Module 7 covers what's inside and outside the line.

Disclose it. If you recommend this and get paid when someone buys, say so. Requirements differ by platform and market and they change, so confirm the current one yourself rather than relying on a rule printed in a guide — the same posture Form BV-01 takes with sponsorship disclosure, for the same reason.

4Where it fits against the other two

Honestly: it is the smallest of the three for most people, and it's placed last on purpose.

Path 1 is a trade. Path 2 is a business. Path 3 is a commission on a recommendation you'd have made anyway — genuinely worth having if you use the thing and people ask you about it, and not a substitute for either of the others.

The reader who does well at this is the one who took path 1 first, has work to show, and mentions the guide because it's a real answer to "how are you doing all this?" The reader who does badly is the one who buys it to sell it.

5Over to Module 7

The full walkthrough: how the mechanics work, exactly what you're allowed to claim and what you aren't, and how the commission is actually calculated on a real sale.

Your word for it — nothing is tracked automatically.
