Representatives earn a recurring commission on sales, with commission rates generally ranging from 70-80% based on monthly sales volume and performance relative to the baseline* cost structure. Bonuses are available during start-up and on an ongoing basis.

Baseline is the back-end cost associated with the magazine & digital product’s cost to produce, distribute, bill clients, etc., and does not come out of the representative’s pocket.
