# Commission Structure and Tiers

The ALIVE Affiliate Program rewards you more as you refer more. There are **three commission tiers**, and you move up automatically based on the number of active referrals you bring in. No applications, no negotiations — just results.

---

## The Three Tiers

| Tier | Referrals | Commission Rate | Perks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Small Partner** | 0 - 50 | 10% | Basic analytics, email support |
| **Medium Partner** | 51 - 99 | 20% | Priority support, advanced analytics, custom landing pages |
| **ALIVE Partner** | 100+ | 30% | Dedicated account manager, exclusive promotions, early feature access |

## Tier Details

### Small Partner (0 - 50 Referrals)

This is where everyone starts. Refer even a single user and you're already earning.

* **10% commission** on every subscription payment your referrals make
* **Basic analytics** — Track your referrals, earnings, and overall performance
* **Email support** — Get help when you need it

At 10%, if you refer 20 Pro monthly plan users ($72/month each), you're earning **$144/month** in recurring passive income.

### Medium Partner (51 - 99 Referrals)

Hit 51 referrals and your commission rate doubles. This tier is for affiliates who are actively promoting ALIVE and seeing results.

* **20% commission** on every subscription payment
* **Priority support** — Jump to the front of the support queue
* **Advanced analytics** — Deeper insights into your referral performance, conversion rates, and trends
* **Custom landing pages** — Get personalized landing pages to boost your conversions

At 20%, those same 20 Pro monthly plan users would earn you **$288/month**. But at this tier, you likely have 50+ referrals — so the real number is much higher.

|| Tier progression is coming soon. Currently all affiliates earn at the base rate. Automatic tier upgrades will be enabled in a future update.

### ALIVE Partner (100+ Referrals)

The top tier. This is for affiliates who are serious about the program and have built a significant referral base.

* **30% commission** on every subscription payment
* **Dedicated account manager** — A real person from the ALIVE team working with you directly
* **Exclusive promotions** — Special offers and deals you can share with your audience
* **Early feature access** — Be the first to try new ALIVE features before they launch

At 30% with 100 Pro monthly plan referrals, you're looking at **$2,160/month** in recurring income. That's not a side hustle — that's a revenue stream.

## How Tier Progression Works

Tier upgrades happen **automatically**. Here's how:

1. You start at **Small Partner** (10%) when you join the program
2. When your total active referrals reach **51**, you're upgraded to **Medium Partner** (20%)
3. When your total active referrals reach **100**, you're upgraded to **ALIVE Partner** (30%)

| Your tier is based on your total number of **active** referrals — meaning referrals who currently have a paid subscription. If referrals cancel and your count drops below a tier threshold, your tier may adjust accordingly.

An **Overview** tab with a progress bar showing how many more referrals you need to reach the next tier is coming soon to your affiliate dashboard.

## Earnings Examples

Here's what your monthly recurring income could look like at each tier:

| Scenario | Tier | Referrals | Plan | Monthly Earning |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Getting started | Small Partner (10%) | 10 | Pro Monthly ($72) | $72/month |
| Building momentum | Small Partner (10%) | 40 | Pro Monthly ($72) | $288/month |
| Leveling up | Medium Partner (20%) | 60 | Pro Monthly ($72) | $864/month |
| Going all in | ALIVE Partner (30%) | 150 | Pro Monthly ($72) | $3,240/month |

|| These examples assume all referrals are on the Pro monthly plan ($72/month). Pro annual is $36/month billed annually. Basic plans are $48/month or $24/month annual. Actual earnings will vary based on which plans your referrals choose and their billing cycles.

---

## No Monthly Quotas

There are **no monthly quotas** in the ALIVE Affiliate Program. You don't need to refer a certain number of users each month to keep your commission rate or stay in the program.

Refer at your own pace. Whether you bring in one new user this month or twenty, your existing commissions keep flowing and your tier stays where it is (as long as your referrals remain active).

---

## What About Annual Subscriptions?

If your referral subscribes to an annual plan, you earn your commission on the annual payment. For example:

* Referral subscribes to Pro Annual at **$36/month billed annually ($432/year)**
* At 10%, you earn **$34.80** when they pay
* At 30%, you earn **$104.40** when they pay

Similarly, for Basic Annual at **$24/month billed annually ($288/year)**:
* At 10%, you earn **$14.40** when they pay
* At 30%, you earn **$43.20** when they pay

Annual commissions are paid when the referral's annual payment processes.
