COMPENSATION PLAN
June 2015
Welcome
Congratulations on joining Empower Network, LLC. Empower Network is a fast growing technology,
personal development and direct sales company. We are focused on providing products and services that
exceed anything found on the Internet today. Our products provide educational and personal
development tools for entrepreneurs in all types of businesses. The goal of Empower Network is to
provide small-business owners, entrepreneurs and opportunity seekers the ability to leverage the Internet
by providing state-of-the-art technology without dealing with the technical and overhead challenges that
generally frustrates and discourages entrepreneurs and small-business owners.
Mission
Empower Network wants to be the go-to source to help inspire, uplift and empower people to fulfill their
goals, both personal and financial. Empower Network is dedicated to empowering as many people as
possible through the network, products, support, opportunities and the honest and authentic message of
hope and freedom. Founded on the idea that individuals can build businesses and have personal lives at
the same time, Empower Network believes that individuals can use the struggles, hardships and
experiences they’ve had in life and turn them into their most empowering assets. At Empower Network
we don’t believe that the past dictates your future. We want to provide our customers and affiliates the
potential to go from disenfranchisement to full self-empowerment.
Empower Network was built with two goals in mind:
1.
To provide you with the potential to make more money in your existing business by giving you
tools, educational products, coaching and systems that work to help you achieve a more
empowered life; and
2. To provide you with a way to earn leveraged income through our Affiliate program, which
provides marketing systems, tools and products to help those in the Direct Sales, Network
Marketing, and/or online marketing niche. To do this, we have created a system that distributes
earnings on a 70% commission basis on the total purchase price of the product sold.
It is important to understand that all commissions are based on the sale of our state-of-the-art products
and services and not on recruitment. To be clear, you do not earn commissions from recruiting other
affiliates into your business. However, you do earn commissions on their products sales. The more
products you and members of your downline sell, the more you have the potential to earn. Of course,
becoming an affiliate is optional and not a requirement.
Key Point: Empower Network affiliates are not required to purchase any of our products in order to
become an affiliate. Whether a customer or an affiliate, you can choose to use our products to build
traffic, leads and marketing campaigns for any business you choose.
Core Products
The Empower Network core products truly offer revolutionary information, resources and education to
provide our customers and affiliates with a better life. We provide marketing tools, systems and ongoing
educational services. For those who choose to become an affiliate, we offer a generous commission structure
that pays 70% commissions on qualifying product sales in a “powerline” commission structure described
below, on a per product basis.
Kalatu Basic
This is the flagship product for Empower Network. It was designed by marketers, for marketers.
When you buy the blog it comes out of the “box” ready for marketing. A lot of people will pay
thousands of dollars to have a blog designed, usually by a designer – and later find out that most
designers do not understand how to market. Design work and marketing are two separate skill
sets. The Kalatu Basic is a blogging platform with a slick looking design, is fully customizable to
meet individual needs and is set up to be optimized for your online marketing … if you buy it with
that purpose in mind. Many people use it for personal use, or to market their own businesses
because it is much quicker, easier and ultimately more affordable than getting a self-hosted blog set
up.
The current price of The Kalatu Basic is $25 per month with 70% of the $25 paid to the qualified
powerline affiliate on a monthly, residual basis, as long as the customer stays active on the program.
Inner Circle Membership
Successful entrepreneurs, whom relay important information about how to change your mindset to
become successful in any business, have joined with Empower Network to put these “Mindset
Training” audios together. This educational collection offers key success factors on how to start
generating more sales, referrals, traffic, leads, and customers for life, simply by using established
practices by marketing leaders who are successful in online promotion, direct sales and network
marketing. These contain revolutionary techniques and philosophies you can implement to help
explode your sales and commissions to lead a more prosperous life.
The current price of The Inner Circle Membership is $100 per month with 70% of the $100 paid to the
qualified powerline affiliate on a monthly, residual basis as long as the customer stays active on the
program.
Top Producer Formula
A “Must Have” for online marketing education! This video series was recorded in the mountains, near
the beautiful beaches of Top Producer Formula with some of the most knowledgeable entrepreneurs
in the online business. This small, tight knit group of incredible online marketers got together to
share their secrets with the select few in attendance. In fact, the strategies they were sharing were so
powerful there were only 10 seats available. Those 10 fortunate individuals paid $2,997 plus airfare
just so they could learn from “master marketers” and finally have the potential to get the results they
desired. The sessions were recorded and edited down to the very best, most powerful “moneymaking” techniques so you may rise to the top and be the best you can possibly be! This video series
includes a 42-page online instructional manual, 12-hours of video, quizzes and step-by-step
guidelines.
The Top Producer Formula is a lifetime product and the current price is a one-time payment of $500.
As with the Kalatu Basic and Inner Circle, there is a 70% commission of the entire one-time payment
paid to the qualifying affiliate.
Team Building Formula
Looking for strategies and marketing tricks that work? Look no further. Simply put, the strategies in
the Team Building Formula work and can be used in any business, which is why people rave about the
product. The Team Building Formula is a comprehensive set of video modules to show you as many
marketing methods as possible, so you can choose for yourself the best option that will work with your
personality. The truth about making money online is that there are a lot of “different roads up the
mountain.” With so many people creating massive results in so many different ways, we decided to
share some of them with you. Not only will these remarkable individuals tell you how they did it ~

they will show you! Extraordinary results are created in a variety of ways. Example Modules are:
“Clarity for Success,” “Compelling Content Mastery,” “7 Figure Email Secrets,” “Dynasty Team
Building Formula,” and “Selling Through the Power of Video.” What’s the strategy that will guide you
and help you reach your desired level of success? The sky is the limit in the Team Building Formula
with so many possibilities to learn from experts in the field and take your business to the next level.
The Team Building Formula is a lifetime product and the current price is a one-time payment of
$1000. There is a 70% commission of the entire one-time payment paid to the qualifying affiliate.
Mass Influence Formula
In one word, Powerful! This is our “graduate level” series for those individuals who want the million
dollar secrets to accelerate their business and put into action the keys to success. It will exceed your
expectations and with Dave Wood at the helm, you will receive the direction you need to recognize
how to attain sales faster and easier than ever before. There is actually a science to marketing online.
There are several different phases of growth in business. After you go through the Mass Influence
Formula, you will know exactly where you are in your business and you will have a game plan to reach
your goals. Example courses include, “Niche Marketing,” “Email Marketing,” “Perpetual Marketing,”
“Exponential Income,” “Essentials in Content,” “The Hero’s Journey,” “Leverage List Building,”
“Myths and Truths of Duplication,” and so much more!
The Mass Influence Formula is a lifetime product and the current price is a one-time payment of
$3,500. There is a 70% commission of the entire one-time payment paid to the qualifying affiliate.
Core Products: The above five (5) products are part of the Empower Network core product line. A
core product is one that is a “stand alone” product in the Empower Network business.
Specialty Products
Empower Network carries a line of specialty products that help our customers and affiliates in other
aspects of their business. These products currently include:
•
Kalatu Premium – The ‘next-level’ tier in an all-encompassing blogging platform aimed

Specialty Products: The above three (3) products are part of the Empower Network specialty
product line. These items are extraordinary and people want to have them as part of their Empower

Each product within the Core Product and Specialty Product lines has its own affiliate compensation
plan, which is not tied to any of the other products. The compensation plan for each product has to be
activated individually or through our bundle offers (see below). The success of this Compensation
Plan, the success of other affiliates, and our system does not guarantee that you will earn any money.
While some of our affiliates earn a significant income, many earn nothing at all. By participating as an
affiliate, you acknowledge this and understand that your own success is based on your marketing
skills, hard work, leadership ability, and other factors we may or may no present in this document.
For more information on the average earnings of an Empower Network affiliate, please visit
www.empowernetwork.com/income
New Member Promotional Bundles
The core products (Viral Blogging, Inner Circle, Top Producer Formula, Team Building Formula and
Mass Influence Formula) are available for purchase by new members in a bundle savings options
within their first 7 days. The compensation plan on each product sold within the Bundle is treated
separately, just as if each product were purchased separately. The products, price and commissions on
an ALL IN Bundle are reduced if a member already owns one of the core products. For example, if the
member already owns the Kalatu Basic, their ALL IN Bundle won't contain the product, thus the price
and commissions paid will be appropriately reduced.
Note: New and/or second accounts are not permitted to take advantage of the Bundle pricing.
Promotional Bundles also follow the 70% commission payout.
Affiliate Program and Participation
The Affiliate Program is optional and not a product, but rather part of the administrative process. The
Affiliate Program allows an individual who has chosen to participate to sell products and earn
commissions on those product sales. Additionally, it gives the affiliate access to tools, marketing data,
etc. and supplies an in-house merchant account for commission payouts. The monthly administrative
fee is $19.95 and will be billed every 30-days, until canceled by the affiliate. Additionally, the monthly
fee is non-refundable. Only the initial payment of $19.95 may be refunded within 14-days as
established by the Refund Policy. All subsequent monthly payments are non-refundable. Empower
Network reserves the right to change the membership fee at any time.
To become an affiliate the following process must be followed:
1. You must be 18 years old;
2. Execute the affiliate agreement on the join page from your referring affiliate;
3. Generate the required product sales to activate the commission structure on EACH PRODUCT.
This can be done by either:
a) Purchase the product for your own personal use and maintain a subscription to that
product if it has a monthly fee.
See our official income disclosure at:
http://empowernetwork.com/income
4
(If you have completed the other 2 steps to activate the commission structure, your affiliate
application will be activated to begin receiving commissions under the compensation plan
for that product with your first sale.)
b) Generate one qualifying sale of that product. (Again, compensation for each product is
activated separately.)
The compensation plan is initiated when a particular product is activated either through personal use
or product sale; you receive no benefit for referring or recruiting affiliates.
It should be noted that if the product in question is a monthly subscription, you have to maintain that
subscription either through purchasing it for your own personal use, or maintaining one active
member subscription. You will then be activated to participate in the full commission structure with
your next sale of that product, and receive commissions immediately.
Many affiliates choose to purchase the product for their own personal use, to help them promote their
own business outside of Empower Network, and to aid them in understanding the value and sales
message. However, purchasing a product is not required to activate a compensation plan on any
Empower Network system or product.
4. (IMPORTANT) Empower Network operates on a principle where your customers actually
make payments directly through an approved payment method. In order to participate in the
Empower Network Compensation Plan, you have to activate one or more methods of receiving
payment in the profile area of your back office.
Please note: If any of the above requirements are not met, you will not qualify to receive commissions
for that particular product/or any of them, depending on which step is missed, (Example: it is not
possible to be paid without an activated payment method), you will not qualify under the commission
plan for that product, and all commissions and powerline sales will pass over you to the next
qualifying affiliate. If you have purchased a product, and do not meet any of the rest of the criteria, you
will be classified as a “customer only” and all commissions and affiliate powerlines will be assigned to
the next active referring affiliate.
Powerline Commission Structure
Currently, all of our products operate on a “dynamic powerline” system, where the 1st, 3rd and 5th and
then every 5th sale thereafter of every product passes to the qualifying sponsor, and you keep the
commissions on the purchase and ongoing commissions on all other personal sales on products you
qualify for. With participation in the Affiliate Program, an affiliate will earn 70% commission on all
products sold.
All customer referrals are counted as personal sales to the next qualified sponsor, and referrals will fall
on the regular powerline structure for that sponsor.
Here is an example based on the sale of the Kalatu Basic:
In this hypothetical example, it is assumed that you are fully activated as an affiliate for the Kalatu
Basic at the $25/monthly subscription and have completed the steps referenced earlier. You would
then pass up product purchases from sales 1, 3, 5, and then every 5th to your powerline sponsor. If you
sold a Kalatu Basic to Frank as your first sale – Frank would stay connected to you, but the sale of his
purchased Kalatu Basic would pass to your sponsor. You would then collect a commission on product
sales 2, 4, and 6-9, etc.
See our official income disclosure at:
http://empowernetwork.com/income
5
If you then referred Lisa and she decided to purchase the Kalatu Basic and purchased as position 2,
you would receive a monthly recurring payment of $25 – for as long as Lisa remains active in the
subscription. Next, Lisa decides to participate in the Affiliate Program. When Lisa starts marketing
successfully and generating product sales, you would receive a commission payment for monthly
subscriptions for her sales 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, etc. If Lisa continued marketing the products, you would also
receive a commission for her sales 20, 25, 30 etc. up to infinity for her personal referrals. Lisa would
keep commissions of sales 2, 4, 6-9, 11-14, etc. – just like you do on your personal sales.
Remember though, the product powerlines have their own compensation plan, and you are passing up
commissions on product sales, not customers or affiliates.
Before someone activates the affiliate agreement on this, or any other product by following the steps
outlined earlier in the Affiliate Program and Participation section, they are not eligible to participate
in this system. Additionally, if Lisa were referred in the example above, the entire powerline structure
for THIS PRODUCT would pass to the next person in the sponsorship tree who is qualified to receive
commissions on that purchase.
It is important to note, that in the powerline system, you ARE NOT passing up affiliates OR customers
- you are simply passing up that particular product sale commission, and the powerline tree for that
compensation structure. If you passed up the powerline sale for Lisa, in this example, she could still be
personally connected to you on one, several, or none of the other products based on the structure and
qualifications.
Remember, the compensation structure is NOT based on the order of recruiting affiliates - it is based
in the actual order of products purchased. An affiliate could decide to purchase no product at all, and
if they made no customer sales to qualify - the commissions for product sales would pass to you until
they did, and you would be paid based on the order that actual product sales were made.
If they chose this method, and then started referring customers, you would get all affiliate powerlines,
and their first customer sale would then qualify them on that product’s commission structure. At this
point they would start being paid according to the Compensation Plan as long as they continue to
maintain one active member on that product purchase.
Also, if you are qualified to receive powerline sales on one product, but not another – the powerline
sales of that product would skip over you to the next affiliate who is qualified on THAT product. All
qualifications happen on a per product basis - and one product does not necessarily activate another.
REMEMBER - you are not “passing up” affiliates OR customers - you are passing up powerline
commissions on a per product basis - and it is the same when you receive pass-ups. Your
affiliate team does not “pass” customers to you - only sales and powerline commissions on that
individual product.
We have found that the powerlines tend to stagger and you might receive all product commissions on
a customer, or you could receive one, and pass up the others - it is based on the order of purchase on a
per product basis.
Unilevel Genealogy System/”Generational Leadership Bonus”
The Kalatu Premium membership ($72/month) will fall into the Unilevel Genealogy system and pays
on generations of leadership in your team. For this reason, we have named it the Generational
Leadership Bonus. This means the payment is divided as the usual compensation plan works (70%
commissions) but with some added points.
See our official income disclosure at:
http://empowernetwork.com/income

Many different examples and descriptions are going to be shared as an overview of the commissions
earned for Kalatu Premium and the overview of the monthly Generational Leadership Bonus. Please
note that even though there are split subscriptions for Kalatu Basic and Kalatu Premium, a new
customer exposure will not need to sign-up for multiple pieces when purchasing Kalatu Premium. It
was designed this way to allow for maximum flexibility when your members want to upgrade and to
do so with ease and fluidity.
When a new customer (lead/prospect) purchases Kalatu Premium, they will sign up under the $17
trial period offer, which lasts 7 days. There is a true 100% commission on the $17 trial paid as
follows:
•
•
If you own the trial, you will receive every trial you bring in;
If you don’t own it, you’ll pass up one $17 trial sale to qualify, and then receive every trial you
bring in.
An important note is there are two subscriptions for Kalatu Premium:
•
•
Subscription 1 - $25 monthly subscription for Kalatu Basic (follows the Powerline Commission
Structure as described above)
Subscription 2 - $72 monthly subscription for Kalatu Premium (follows the Unilevel Genealogy
System/Generational Leadership Bonus as described below)
The subscriptions were built this way for flexibility in upgrading your existing member, or for
convenience if a member wishes to downgrade but not cancel. This permits retaining a subscription
with the need to resign, or repurchase a membership.
NOTE: This means current members that may be on your team, or downline at the $25 Kalatu Basic
membership level can upgrade easily within the back office to the new Kalatu Premium membership
level.
Generational Leadership Bonus Breakdown:
For those members who qualify for the Unilevel Genealogy System/Generational Leadership Bonus
(described in full below), the payout on the $72 subscription portion of the Kalatu Premium will be
$50.40. This is 70% of $72 – and is added to your existing commission of the $25 Kalatu Basic
membership commission. What this means is every Kalatu Premium sale (a member who has both the
Kalatu Basic membership ($25) and the Kalatu Premium membership ($72) will earn the following
commission BEFORE overrides and add-on commissions.
•
•
Kalatu Basic membership commission: $17.50
Kalatu Premium commissions paid through our Generational Leadership Bonus: $50.40
OVERRIDES, LEADERSHIP QUALIFICATIONS, AND BREAKAGE
Earnings on Overrides and Breakage come into play when you qualify for the Gold, Platinum, and
Diamond levels and can add up very quickly. The payout for these commissions scales in three Tiers,
and is applied per sale. Please see the examples and descriptions below.
Rank Qualifications:
All rank qualifications for the Generational Leadership happen in one calendar month, and you earn
the associated bonuses as subscriptions payments are made in your team the following month. It’s
See our official income disclosure at:
http://empowernetwork.com/income
7
important to understand that these are monthly qualifications, and you need to maintain them each
month to keep receiving the bonuses.
It's important to understand that clearly - if you qualify one month and then don't the next, you never
lose your team or the ability to re-qualify for bonuses on any of your customers in the months that
follow. Simply re-qualify and you'll then have the opportunity to earn the generational leadership
bonuses the following month! (Note: commissions lost due to non-qualification cannot be "saved" or
recaptured.) We built the compensation like this to incentivize you to create a stable, profitable
organization that lasts, and to help you build a team that does the same. That’s one of the reasons why
we’ve called it the “Generational Leadership Bonus.” We want it to pay you on generations of leaders
you help create - for generations to come.
Rank qualifications happen from income creation from a variety of sources. We’re going to divide this
into two sections:
1. “Core Income” is income derived from the 100% commission bonus for getting a new
customer, combined with our core compensation plan that has driven $150 million in product
sales since 2011. In other words, it is personal sales, and income derived from the powerline
commission system on Kalatu Basic, the Inner Circle, The Top Producer Formula, the Team
Building Formula, and the Mass Influence Formula. So when I say you need to generate a
certain amount of “Core Income” to hit a level, I am referring to commissions generated by
these specific products.
2. “Leadership Income” is derived from our new Generational Leadership Bonus, which right
now includes payouts from Kalatu Premium, as described below.
MONTHLY RANKS AND INCOME QUALIFICATIONS
•
•
•
When you earn a total of $10,000 in a calendar month of Core Income, you will qualify for the
Gold level and associated Leadership Income the following calendar month.
When you earn a total of $20,000 in a calendar month with at least half of the $20,000 being
generated from Core Income, and the remaining amount being generated from Leadership
Income, you’ll qualify for the Platinum level and be eligible for Platinum bonuses the following
month.
When you earn a total of $30,000 in a calendar month with at least half being generated from
Core Income, and the remainder generated from Leadership Income, you’ll qualify for the
Diamond level, and be eligible for Diamond bonuses the following calendar month.
The $50.40 Paid through our Generational Leadership Bonus will be divided as follows:
•
•
•
Gold qualifying earners will receive an additional $10 per sale paid through two generations of
Gold earners, for a total of $20 per sale divided at the Gold level and above.
Platinum qualifying earners will receive an additional $10 per sale paid through two
generations of Platinum earners, for a total of $20 divided between Platinum’s and above.
Diamond qualifying earners will receive $5.20 per sale, paid through two generations of
Diamond earners, for a total of $10.40 divided at the Diamond level.
DIAMOND BREAKAGE PAY
Breakage is any part of the payout that is unqualified for within an organization, and is a part of all
compensation plans. In our Generational Leadership Bonus, breakage is created within Diamond
organizations as described below, and is compressed through two generations of upline diamonds.
See our official income disclosure at:
http://empowernetwork.com/income
8
BREAKAGE IS CREATED FROM DIAMOND QUALIFICATION
The Diamond Level is the highest Generational Leadership Bonus, and a Diamond can only be
overridden by another Diamond. When you qualify for the Diamond level, you reach the top of the
compensation plan, and receive an additional $5.20 on every Kalatu Premium Subscription in your
entire organization down two generations of Diamond Leadership. In other words, if you have a
leader qualify somewhere in your team (regardless of the actual number of levels down they are) you
would also receive $5.20 on every Kalatu Premium Subscription in their entire organization.
That $5.20 is part of your monthly Diamond Bonus. However, because nobody but another Diamond
can override that Leader’s organization, breakage is created where part of the $50.40 is unqualified
for within his organization. The breakage in that leaders organization compresses up through two
generations of upline diamonds.
Let me give you an example to show you how this can work. Let’s say you are a Diamond, you have a
downline Diamond, and they have a Downline diamond. Remember - these diamonds can be
sponsored by you, or unlimited levels in depth - it is irrelevant the number of levels in depth they are
for the payout.
So let’s say to keep it simple, the 3rd Diamond has no downline leadership of Golds, Platinums, or
Diamonds. Let’s say his organization looks simple, with 10 Kalatu Premium Customers who get 10
Kalatu Premium Customers down a 3 levels:
YOU (Diamond 1)
Diamond 2
Diamond 3
10 KP
100 KP
1000 KP
In this example the third Diamond Generation has 1,110 customers on Kalatu Premium. Keep in mind
that although those customers can be spread through unlimited levels of affiliates - because there is no
qualified leadership --- this is one generation of Diamond Bonus within our compensation plan.
Diamond 3 in this example would receive $25.20 (one generation of Gold, Platinum, and Diamond)
from each customer, for a total of $27,972. Diamond 2 would receive $5.20 per customer, for a total
of $5,772 from the same organization. Well, there is $50.40 per customer available to payout, in this
example creating exactly $20 in breakage on Diamond 3’s entire organization, or $22,200.
That breakage will compress up, and half will be paid to Diamond 2, and half will be paid to Diamond
1. So Diamond 1 will receive a total amount of $11,100 from Diamond 3, Diamond 2 will receive a total
of $16,872 from the same organization ($11,100 in breakage plus $5,772 in diamond bonus) and
Diamond 3 will receive $27,972 - for a total payout of $55,944.
Which is exactly $50.40 per customer on Kalatu Premium in Diamond 3’s organization.
Obviously that’s just an example, and there will be varying amounts of breakage in every organization
depending on who is qualified at what level - but this should give an example of how our Diamond
Breakage Bonus works.
For the qualification levels (earning levels) - there are two key points that are taken into consideration
when looking at how someone reaches these tiers.
See our official income disclosure at:
http://empowernetwork.com/income
9
1. For $30,000 a month earners - 50% of the earnings for this qualification must come from
Product Sales ($15,000) - and the additional income can come from the new Generational
Leadership Bonus commission system. Half of the earnings for this qualification level must
come from Product Sales.
2. These Commission earning levels are calculated EVERY MONTH - and apply to the following
month’s production. For example, if in the month of June you earn $12,000 in affiliate
commissions - you would not receive the additional commitments for sales made beneath you
during the month of June ($10 per sale) - but you WOULD receive those commissions in the
month of JULY. You would then need to also earn $10,000 or more in July (your new
additional commissions are added to the value of your product sales to calculate) to continue
earning them in the month of AUGUST.
Let’s take a look at a few examples to demonstrate how the additional commissions are positioned.
EXAMPLES OF ADDITIONAL COMMISSIONS EARNED
Important Note for all Examples:
Please note the example above with Diamond breakage, and pay attention to the fact that a
GENERATION is not the same as a LEVEL. In the example above - there are 3 levels comprising
1,100 active customers - and all of those people were one single Diamond Generation. Although the
leadership generations are tracked through LEVELS in our affiliate sponsorship tree in the same way a
Generational Leadership Bonus plan would function, all levels between qualified leaders are
compressed into a single generation of that Leadership Level. So in other words, you could be a Gold,
and the only qualified Gold below you was 15 levels down - all levels in between you and him would be
compressed into Generation one, and his whole organization would be compressed into Generation
2. Keep that in mind through every example, and you’ll start to see the mind bending potential of
Kalatu Premium and our Generational Leadership Bonus.
Example #1:
In this example each level is tiered, with A being at the Top and G being at the bottom. A total of
$50.40 is split amongst the tiered earning levels per sale on override passup qualifications.
Levels:
A. Diamond
B. Diamond
C. Diamond
D. Platinum
E. Platinum
F. Gold
G. Gold
For a sale that was made under generation G - the Generational Leadership would divide like this:
•
•
•
G and F would receive $10 each (Because they are Gold Qualified)
E and D would receive $10 each (Because they are Platinum Qualified)
C and B would receive $5.20 each (Because they are Diamond Qualified)
Note that in this example, there is no breakage generated from a sale that G makes.
See our official income disclosure at:
http://empowernetwork.com/income
10
For a sale that was made under F - the additional commissions would divide like this:
•
•
•
F and E would receive $10 each (Because they are Gold Qualified)
E and D would receive $10 each (Because they are Platinum Qualified)
C and B would receive $5.20 each (Because they are Diamond Qualified)
Note that in this example, E is qualified for 2 levels and therefore earns $20 from the customer.
Note that in this sale, there is also not any breakage generated.
For a sale that was made under E - the additional commissions would divide like this:
•
•
•
E and D would receive $10 each (Because they are Gold Qualified)
E and D would receive $10 each (Because they are Platinum Qualified)
C and B would receive $5.20 each (Because they are Diamond Qualified)
Note there is also not any breakage generated from this particular sale.
Note that in this example, E and D has qualified for the two levels (Gold and Platinum), which will
result in additional earnings of $20 for the sale.
For a sale that was made under D - the additional commissions would divide like this:
•

D and C would receive $10 each (Because they are Gold Qualified)
D and C would receive $10 each (Because they are Platinum Qualified)
C and B would receive $5.20 each (Because they are Diamond Qualified)
Note that in this example, there is also not any breakage generated. The entire $50.40 is paid out
through the generations of qualified leadership.
Note that in this case, D has qualified for the two levels (Gold and Platinum), which will result in
additional earnings of $20 for the sale. C has qualified for THREE levels (Gold, Platinum, and
Diamond), which will result in the Generational Leadership Bonus override commissions and
breakage totaling $25.20 for the sale ($10 + $10 + $5.20).
For a sale that was made under C - the additional commissions would divide like this:
•
•
•
•
C would receive $10 (Because the member has earned $10,000) $10 left as breakage
C would receive $10 (Because the member has earned $20,000) $10 left as breakage
C and B would receive $5.20 each (Because they have earned $30,000)
B and A would receive $10 each (Because they have earned $30,000) from $20 of breakage
Note that in this case, C received a total of $25.20 in additional commissions (three qualification
levels). B received a total of $15.20 from two qualification levels.
Example #2:
In this example each level is tiered, with A being at the Top and I being at the bottom. A total of

Payment Schedule and Processing Fees
Commissions shall be paid based on the current information found in your affiliate account.
“Pending” commissions are paid weekly on the Friday two weeks after the sale. Our merchant
processor holds 10% of each sale in reserve. This is the “Holdback” portion of your commissions.
They are paid once our merchant processor releases the hold after 6-8 months.
Fees incurred are paid by Empower Network and are not deducted from your commissions. These
fees include:
•
•
Processing fee of 6.35% of the sale price
Per Transaction fee of 79 cents
However, any fees associated with refunds or chargebacks will be paid by the affiliate receiving the
commission on the product sale that is subject to a refund or chargeback.
To help you better understand the flow of the commissions and the fees, suppose you made a $3,500
Masters Course sale. As noted above, the 70% commission amount on the Mass Influence Formula is
$2,450. Then the following fees are applied:
•
•
$245.00 (10%) would be added to the “Holdback” and scheduled for release between 6-8
months later (dependent upon when they are released by the Merchant Processor),
The remainder $2,205 would be added to “Pending” Commissions, scheduled to be paid
weekly on the Friday two weeks after the sale.
Income Disclosure Statement
In order to remain transparent, it is important that all potential affiliates understand that everyone’s
results will vary, as we are all unique and different. It takes hard work to make a substantial income in
this business, and some people will make no money at all. The earnings of an Empower Network
Affiliate will be 100% dependent upon their skills, work effort, commitment, leadership capabilities
and market conditions. Common sense would suggest that in most opportunities, one would find
exceptional individuals performing well above average, while others perform under the average and
make no money at all. Empower Network does not guarantee any level of income or success. To see

REFUNDS AND CHARGEBACKS
Empower Network pays commissions on the sale of products and services. If a member requests a
refund or charges back (i.e., notifies their credit card company that the charge was not authorized) any
time after commissions have been paid, the company is put in a position of using sales that it did not
truly make for purposes of calculating commissions. When this occurs, Empower Network will claw
back commissions from the affiliate’s next month’s commission payment and apply any fees
associated with the refund or chargeback.
We want you, your customers and your prospects to feel comfortable about transacting business with
Empower Network. Due to the nature of the Empower Network business and the accessibility of our
products immediately upon purchase, there is a strict 14-day refund policy, which begins on the date
of purchase. However, please be aware that credit card companies do permit customers to file
chargebacks up to 4-6 months after purchase. That being said, Empower Network does what it can to
avoid these situations.
Final Thoughts from Jonathan Cronstedt, CEO
Let me be the first to welcome you to the family! You're about to embark on an entrepreneurial
journey supported by the most active and leading edge community of affiliates on the planet, and
we're glad to have you.
In our brief history, Empower Network has broken every record, and nearly every long held
assumption of how to succeed online in building a business and building a team of like-minded people
around you. It's been nothing short of incredible, and with Dave Wood leading the charge ~ the best is
yet to come!
We've built over a dozen million dollar earners, countless six and near seven figure earners, thousands
of people earning a full-time income, and tens of thousands that have made their first dollar online
with us. The vast majority of affiliates in Empower Network earns less than $100, which does not
include any business expenses.
This is a business where you are NEVER required to purchase any product to earn a commission. You
can work and qualify for every level of commissions through your own efforts. We believe that our
products are world-class and that if you're serious about your business, you better be serious about
your education, but to be clear, product purchase isn't a requirement to be able to build your business.
This business offers limitless potential, and it will require time, effort, energy and a willingness to
grow personally and professionally. Our top achievers work, and work hard (many over 40 hours a
week), however they've got amazing results to show for it.
It's not easy, but it is more than worth it, and the rewards far outweigh the challenges.
Let's get to work and I'll meet you on stage at our next event.
It's YOUR time,
Jonathan "JCron" Cronstedt
CEO, Empower Network
