Module 6 told you this path exists and handed over. This is the handover.

Three things are worth saying before anything else, because they set what kind of module this is.

It is a real offer, not a pitch to resell the pitch. You can sell this guide and keep a share of each sale you make. That's the whole product.

It is deliberately the least interesting affiliate structure available. Flat percentage, one level, one product. Everything that makes affiliate programmes look exciting is the thing that makes them a legal problem, and §2 is the explanation rather than the apology.

It is the section of this guide most likely to be used badly, because it's the part where you'd be selling a product about making money. That's the category with the worst reputation in the market, and it earned it. §3 is about staying on the right side of that line, and it is the longest section here for a reason.

1The number

The commission rate is decided: 33% of net on each sale you make.

Your share: 33% of net on each sale you make — net meaning after card processing comes off the top. On the $149.99 list price with a standard card fee, that's $47.96 per sale, worked line by line on the sales page's statement. (33% of the gross price would be $49.50 — that is not the payout; the fee is deducted before either share is taken.)

For most of this module's life that line read COMMISSION RATE — not decided (placeholder — not a decided value), because this product's design documents locked the mechanism — flat percentage, single level, one SKU — before the pricing pass had happened, and this module's own §3 is an entire section on not stating figures you can't stand behind. The convention (shared with the contract template) was: an undecided figure is written in brackets, not estimated. The rate was decided on 2026-08-14 and the brackets were filled the same way they were opened — deliberately, with the date on record in §5's table.

The sales page carries the worked statement — a single sale run all the way through at the real split, so you can check the arithmetic rather than take the percentage on trust. §2 uses that statement rather than re-deriving the maths in prose.

2What's in here

Section What it does
1 Selling it — what actually works, building on Module 6 §3's three requirements
2 The mechanics, and what single level means in practice — including what you may not build
3 What you can and cannot claim, which is Module 4 pointed at yourself
4 Disclosure — the line, where it goes, and why we don't assert the rule
5 Signing up, with the undecided parts named as undecided

3The one line to take out of this module

You are being paid a commission on a recommendation. You are not being paid to recruit, and you are not being paid to promise anyone an outcome.

Everything below is that sentence with the details filled in.

Standing rule for this product, same as the contract template and the disclosure guidance elsewhere: this is a plain-language explanation, not legal advice. The affiliate structure, the agreement you'll sign, and the disclosure requirements are all going through a real legal review before affiliates go live. Where this module describes a regulator's position it says where that came from and when it was checked, so you can check it again rather than take our word dated to a moment that has passed.

Your word for it — nothing is tracked automatically.
