How Tier works
Straightforward compensation based entirely on sales you make and sales your team makes.
1. Sign up — free, always
Create your account in a couple of minutes — access is instant, no application review. Joining Tier costs nothing. There is no starter kit, inventory purchase, or monthly fee. If you are ever asked to pay to join, that is not Tier.
2. Your core income: the resale spread
Tier is a wholesaler. You buy items from us at wholesale and resell them to your own customers. Your core income is the spread — the difference between what you charge and what you paid us. You set your own resale prices, so your margin is yours to determine, not a fixed payout from Tier.
Wholesale pricing is flat: every seller pays the same wholesale price regardless of how much they have bought. There is no volume-based purchase-discount program. Your margin comes entirely from the spread you set.
You buy in packages — any amount from $500 to $5,000,000 per order — priced at 40% of suggested retail, so every package carries about 2.5× its price in suggested resale value. That value is realized only by you selling the items yourself: it is a market reference, not a payment from Tier, and not a guaranteed return. Prices move with the game's market.
Illustrative example at suggested retail. You set your own prices and do your own selling — resale value is a market reference, not a return Tier pays.
3. Direct Referral Bonus (5%, one-time)
Tier runs a multi-level (network-marketing) affiliate plan on top of your resale income. The first part is the Direct Referral Bonus: when a seller you personally referred completes their first paid order, you earn a one-time 5% of that order. It pays once, on the first order only — there is no ongoing per-sale percentage on your referrals after that.
This bonus is always on a real paid order, never on the act of recruiting and never on any fee — there is no fee to join.
4. Leadership Pools (10% total)
The second part of the affiliate plan is five Leadership Pools, one per rank — Builder, Director, Executive, Ambassador, and Founder. Each pool is funded by 2% of commissionable volume, 10% across all five. There are no rank weights: each pool is split evenly among the sellers who hold that rank and meet that rank's monthly maintenance. This is where downline/group volume pays — your earnings scale with the team you build and keep active.
5. Company Bonus Promotion (up to 5%)
From time to time Tier funds a discretionary Company Bonus Promotion of up to 5% of commissionable volume, split among ranked sellers. It is discretionary — not guaranteed in any period. Together, the 5% direct bonus, the 10% Leadership Pools, and this up-to-5% promotion are why the plan's total affiliate payout is capped at 20%.
6. Rank advancement and maintenance
A leadership rank is earned on both active personally-enrolled sellers and group/team volume — there is no solo path to a rank:
| Rank | Active sellers | Group volume | Monthly maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Builder | 3 | $10,000 | 1 personal-referral sale per 90 days |
| Director | 10 | $50,000 | 2 personal-referral sales per month |
| Executive | 25 | $150,000 | 3 personal-referral sales per month |
| Ambassador | 50 | $500,000 | 5 personal-referral sales per month |
| Founder | 100 | $1,000,000 | Maintain 10 active enrolled sellers |
Ranks are not permanent. In every case you must also stay active and keep at least 50% of your qualifying group volume. Miss one month and you get a grace month with no pool that month; miss two consecutive months and you drop one rank.
