The Emza Gold Compensation Plan

The Emza Gold compensation plan pays affiliates when they sell DailyGold to retail customers.

Emza Gold Affiliate Ranks

There are four affiliate ranks within the Emza Gold compensation plan.

Along with their respective qualification criteria, they are as follows:

• Affiliate – sign up as an Emza Gold affiliate
• Executive Director – maintain ten active retail customers
• Senior Executive – recruit at least three affiliates who each have an Executive Director ranked affiliate in their downline

Retail Commissions

Emza Gold affiliates earn $2 per bottle of DailyGold they sell to retail customers.

Residual Commissions

Residual commissions in Emza Gold are paid out via a 3×8 matrix.

A 3×8 matrix places an affiliate at the top of the matrix, with three positions directly under them:

These three positions form the first level of the matrix, with the second level generated by splitting each of the three positions into another three positions each (9 positions).

The third level of the matrix is generated by splitting each level 2 position into another three positions each again (27 positions).

Subsequent levels of the matrix are generated in the same manner, with a complete 3×8 matrix housing 9840 positions.

Positions in the matrix are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of new affiliates.

A $2 residual commission is paid out when recruited affiliates in a matrix purchase a bottle of Daily Gold.

Fast Start Bonus

When an Emza Gold affiliate acquires five active retail customers, they receive a $20 Fast Start Bonus.

If they acquire these customers within 15 days of signing up as an Emza affiliate, a $100 bonus is paid to the affiliate and the affiliate who recruited them.

Conclusion

To what extent Emza Gold’s DailyGold product is unique isn’t really clear. It’s manufactured by a third-party with a full ingredient list provided on the Emza Gold website.

The multi-vitamin industry is huge, so I’d definitely recommend comparing DailyGold to what’s available locally before committing yourself.

On the compensation plan side of things, Emza Gold is pretty well-balanced.

Retail requirements are great to see, effectively prohibiting chain recruitment despite it costing nothing to sign up as a Emza Gold affiliate.

The $2 commission per bottle of Emza Gold sold however is a bit thin, considering the product retails for $53.99. I think this could be raised somewhat, perhaps at the expense of the bonus pools. Swap $2 into one of the pools and pay $5 or more per bottle sold.

That said even with the paltry commission, if you don’t have retail customers in Emza Gold you’re not getting paid.

As a business opportunity though the low commission rate is certainly unattractive. I think this might harm the opportunity over time, as $2 is almost hardly worth putting in effort to market the product.

This will affect payouts through the matrix and affiliate ranks, which both rely on recruited affiliates to obtain retail customers.

On one hand retail qualifiers are great to see, however Emza Gold ultimately let themselves down with tiny retail commission rates.

There’s potential here assuming the product is competitive in the multi-vitamin niche, but the shortcomings of the Emza Gold compensation plan limit the opportunity as a whole.
