Residual Commissions (restricted)
To qualify for restricted residual commissions, a Nowsite affiliate promote and preserve three subscriptions.
Nowsite pays restricted residual commissions down two ranges of recruitment (unilevel).
Residual commissions are primarily based on gross sales quantity (BV) connected to Nowsite subscription funds.
- $47 a month plan = $20 BV
- $444 annual plan = $177.60 BV
- add-ons = 15% of buy value in BV
Residual commissions are calculated primarily based on whole BV generated throughout ranges 1 and a couple of of their unilevel staff.
Word that residual commissions aren’t equal to the BV generated.
Slightly, Nowsite associates are paid primarily based on the very best residual fee tier generated BV triggers.
Nowsite’s residual fee tiers are:
- $50
- $100
- $200
- $400
- $1000
- $2000
- $3000
- $4000
- $6000
- $10,000
- $16,000
- $20,000 (BV over $20,000 paid at a price of 75%)
E.g. If a Nowsite affiliate generated $2500 BV in a month, they might set off the $2000 residual fee tier.
For that month that affiliate’s residual fee would thus be $2000.
Residual Commissions (unrestricted)
Whereas restricted residual commissions above are restricted to 2 unilevel staff ranges, unrestricted commissions pay on whole unilevel staff quantity – ranging from degree 3.
- Gold ranked associates earn a 1.25% unrestricted residual fee price

Becoming a member of Nowsite
NowSite affiliate prices aren’t disclosed on its web site.
Justin Belobaba beforehand disclosed that Royaltie charged $4.95 a month for affiliate membership (January 2020).
Nowsite Conclusion
One constructive for customers because the Royaltie days is that Nowsite has slashed the pricing of entry.
In January 2020 Royaltie was charging $87 to $327 a month. Nowsite’s $44 a month (much less if annual) is just about half-price.
The compensation plan has additionally been simplified, though referring to related affiliate prices as an funding in all probability isn’t compliant.
Sadly lots of the points we coated in our January 2020 Royaltie evaluate persist within the Nowsite rebranding.
Justin Belobaba personally responded to those criticisms just a few days put up publication.
I preserve that being a faceless company isn’t a very good search for an MLM firm.
I couldn’t confirm Belobaba’s claims pertaining to retail prospects, nor can I as we speak.
We most definitely do have an enormous retail buyer base. The truth is, lower than 10% of our prospects are enrolled as associates.
What I can say is there aren’t any retail buyer qualifiers in Nowsite’s compensation plan.
When mixed with the truth that traditionally advertising suite MLM firm’s wind up stuffed with associates who invariable use the suite to market the chance itself, I’m not satisfied on Belobaba’s illustration alone.
As a potential Nowsite affiliate, one of the best you possibly can hope for is to ask what number of energetic retail subscriptions your potential upline has.
Subsequent weigh that towards what number of associates they’ve recruited with energetic subscriptions.
What you’re in search of is a tough 1:1 ratio a minimum of. If retail is missing or is dwarfed by affiliate subscription quantity, there’s an issue.
Belobaba is on the document stating 90% of Royaltie subscriptions have been held by retail prospects.
That was firstly in January 2020 and secondly, neither Royaltie or Nowsite ever printed an Revenue Disclosure Assertion (to one of the best of my data).
One last item I wish to deal with was my raised criticism of Royaltie’s then webpage constructing service (that continues to be supplied beneath Nowsite).
Right here’s what I wrote on January eleventh 2020;
With out digging to a lot deeper into Royaltie’s suite, the corporate affords an internet site constructing service.
Royaltie’s personal web site is constructed on WordPress, particularly the free JointsWP theme.
That’s to not garbage WordPress (BehindMLM runs on WordPress) or recommend customized coding went into Royaltie’s web site, it’s simply not what I’d count on from a digital advertising firm.
From the floor, it appears a lot of what’s obtainable by Royaltie is template pushed. Once more, nothing unsuitable with that – however that’s not what Royaltie are pitching.
I’ll depart it there. If I’m lacking one thing value-wise in Royaltie’s digital advertising providing although, let me know beneath.
In response to that, Justin Belobaba said on January 14th;
Our web site is in wordpress as a result of we’d like a web site with a number of tabs, and we now have not but constructed that functionality into our personal platform…nevertheless it’s coming quickly.
Right here’s the source-code of Nowsite’s web site as we speak, over a 12 months and a half later:
Make of that what you’ll.
