Recruitment Commissions
Each People Getting Paid promoter fee paid generates a $5 recruitment commission.
People Getting Paid pays recruitment commissions via a 1-up compensation structure, tracked through a unilevel team:
The 1-up compensation structure sees a People Getting Paid promoter pass-up even numbered recruitment commissions up to ten.
- first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh and every recruit onward = $5 commission paid per promoter fee paid
- second, fourth, sixth, eighth and tenth recruit = $5 commission passed up
Passed-up recruitment commissions are paid to whoever recruited the promoter.
In turn, recruited promoters must pass up their second to tenth even recruitment commissions.
Depending on who recruits who when, this potentially allows for a People Getting Paid promoter to earn on recruitment activity anywhere in their downline.

People Getting Paid Conclusion
People Getting Paid is a simple $5 a day adcredit pyramid scheme.
$5 is paid between People Getting Paid (cash gifting), with the anonymous admin keeping $1.50 per recruit. That’s on top of pass-ups through pre-loaded admin positions.
Typically in a pyramid gifting scheme it is the admin who steals the most money. They are closely followed by early joiners and/or top recruiters.
The $25 and $100 upsells manipulate who gets assigned new People Getting Paid promoters who don’t have a direct referrer. Those who pay $25 have more chance of receiving a non-referred recruit than those that don’t.
Those that pay $100 have a higher chance still, or so People Getting Paid’s website states. With zero transparency or accountability the system is ripe for internal abuse.
As they don’t with Ponzi schemes, bundling adcredits to pyramid gifting scheme payments doesn’t make a fraudulent business model legal.
As with all MLM pyramid gifting schemes, once recruitment dries up so too will daily $5 commissions.
This will see those at the bottom of the pyramid eventually stop paying $5 a day. This in turn means those above them stop getting paid.
Unless new suckers are found fast, these promoters will also stop paying $5 a day.
Once enough People Getting Paid promoters stop paying $5 a day, an irreversible collapse is triggered.
