Trunited’s Compensation Plan
Trunited fail to supply a replica of their compensation plan on their web site.
Right here’s what I’ve been capable of piece collectively from varied sources.
Trunited Affiliate Ranks
There are seven affiliate ranks inside Trunited’s compensation plan.
Together with their respective qualification standards, they’re as follows:
- Affiliate – enroll as a Trunited affiliate, pay the $99 annual charge, buy a minimum of one product every month and recruit and preserve a minimum of one affiliate

Additionally notice that to be able to stay lively, all Trunited associates should buy a minimum of one product every month.
Revenue Factors
Trunited’s e-commerce platform affords a choose number of merchandise, every with an assigned level worth.
These factors are used to calculate private (direct) and residual (oblique) commissions.
TruWallet Commissions
TruWallet commissions should be put in the direction of future purchases through Trunited’s ecommerce platform.
TruWallet commissions are calculated by dividing an affiliate’s private buy Revenue Factors for the month by the month-to-month company-wide Revenue Level quantity.
Residual Commissions
Trunited pays residual commissions through a unilevel compensation construction.
A unilevel compensation construction locations an affiliate on the high of a unilevel workforce, with each personally recruited affiliate positioned straight beneath them (stage 1):
If any stage 1 associates recruit new associates, they’re positioned on stage 2 of the unique affiliate’s unilevel workforce.
If any stage 2 associates recruit new associates, they’re positioned on stage 3 and so forth and so forth down a theoretical infinite variety of ranges.
Residual commissions are calculated primarily based on oblique Revenue Factors, i.e. these generated by a Trunited affiliate’s downline.
- Associates have Revenue Factors calculated down one stage of the unilevel workforce (personally recruited associates)
- Pacesetters have Revenue Factors calculated down three ranges of the unilevel workforce
- Influencers with three Pacesetter legs have Revenue Factors calculated down six ranges of the unilevel workforce

Residual commissions are calculated by dividing a Trunited affiliate’s Revenue Level steadiness (as calculated primarily based on rank), by the company-wide Revenue Level quantity for the month.
Private Care & Dietary Complement Commissions
Trunited present no compensation plan data for his or her private care and dietary complement merchandise.
Revenue Level quantities nonetheless are offered on Trunited’s on-line product catalog, main me to imagine these direct purchases are paid out in the identical method as ecommerce platform purchases.
That is inline with Priceline lodge bookings and the reward playing cards, which even have Revenue Level quantities offered (journey = 10% of the fee paid to Trunited).
Becoming a member of Trunited
Trunited affiliate membership is $99 yearly.
Conclusion
Trunited go to nice lengths to complicate what is basically a regular unilevel PV/GV compensation plan.
They go on about “algorithms” and have a twenty-five web page lengthy compensation doc, when details about the enterprise may simply as simply be damaged down into 4 or 5 pages.
On that notice transparency is one thing Trunited is sorely missing. It took me a while to trace down compensation documentation that made any sense, and for potential Trunited associates that’s a nightmare.
I don’t know why Trunited don’t present easy compensation documentation on their web site, however that’s one thing administration ought to look into pronto.
As to the plan itself, the idea of Trunited’s ecommerce platform is easy sufficient. Retail clients enroll, purchase stuff and get rewarded with future buy “truWallet” credit.
Associates do the identical, and receives a commission a lower of Trunited’s cashback income paid by retailers.
Strong.
The place Trunited falls aside is the requirement that each one associates buy one thing every month.
Right here is all it’s important to do to turn into an Affiliate:
1. Be part of Trunited and buy a minimum of one product within the Trunited Market in a given month.
2. Join a minimum of one particular person to the Community who additionally purchases a minimum of one product within the Trunited Market in a given month.
3. Comply with the Affiliate Contract and pay a yearly Affiliate charge.
Forcing your associates to buy product to qualify for commissions creates an affiliate autoship recruitment incentive.
That’s you enroll as a Trunited affiliate, take out a month-to-month autoship order after which deal with recruiting different associates who do the identical.
The Promoter ranks does require three clients to qualify, nonetheless this doesn’t seem like an ongoing requirement.
And these three clients can simply as simply be three meant affiliate recruits who haven’t but recruited themselves.
With that in thoughts, the query now could be whether or not affiliate autoship recruitment tradition is prevalent in Trunited.
To reply that we’ll flip to Trunited’s “Wholesome Vida Problem”:
That is official Trunited company advertising and marketing, and clearly affiliate autoship recruitment is the main focus.
Affiliate autoship recruitment can be a spotlight throughout the broader ecommerce platform, though it’s a bit of tougher to identify.
Trunited initially pitches its ecommerce platform as simply changing shopping for merchandise from exterior retailers to their very own:
Create commerce. Buy merchandise you might be already shopping for at costs you might be already spending and join others to the Community to do the identical.
That idea nonetheless then turns into “rising revenue”:
In the end, there are two methods to extend revenue.
1. Purchase extra.
2. Spend much less.
So one of the best factor you are able to do is purchase extra of the gadgets and types that pay out extra for every greenback spent.
Yeah, not a lot “buy merchandise you might be already shopping for” as “purchase merchandise we obtain extra money for”.
It is because extra factors within the Revenue Pool = increased commissions. Most likely about so far as “buy merchandise you’re already shopping for” as you get intention sensible.
And that’s key. As a result of if the vast majority of Trunited associates are buying merchandise with revenue in thoughts, and recruiting others who do the identical, then the corporate is working as a pyramid scheme.
Not withstanding the aforementioned “pay to play” by forcing associates to make a month-to-month buy.
One other regulatory situation is whether or not the vast majority of company-wide purchases are being made by associates or retail clients.
Seeing because it seems retail clients can refer new clients/associates, I’m making a differentiation primarily based on the $99 annual charge.
If the vast majority of cash spent in Trunited is from fee-paying associates over non-fee paying associates, once more it’s working as a pyramid scheme.
Personally given the “revenue minded buy” advertising and marketing and affiliate autoship focus, I’m not seeing retail as focus throughout the firm.
Trunited seems to be your typical “associates are the one patrons” MLM ecommerce platform, with little to no retail happening.
Method with warning.
Replace third November 2021 – As of September 1st, 2021, Trunited has shut down.
