Matrix Commissions

A 2×16 matrix places an affiliate at the vị trí cao nhất of the matrix with two legs directly under them (level 1):
In turn, these two legs branch out into another two legs (level 2) và so on & so forth down 16 levels. Each of these legs represents a matrix position which is filled via direct or indirect recruitment of new affiliates.
For each tiếp thị liên kết placed in the matrix, a Four Corners Alliance Group affiliate receives a commission, depending on what cấp độ the tiếp thị liên kết is placed within the matrix.
Level 1 – $9 (2 positions)Level 2 – $2.70 (4 positions)Level 3 – $3.15 (8 positions)Level 4 – $3.60 (16 positions)Level 5 – $4.05 (32 positions)Level 6 – $4.50 (64 positions)Level 7 – $5.40 (128 positions)Level 8 – $6.30 (256 positions)Level 9 – $7.20 (512 positions)Level 10 – $8.10 (1024 positions)Level 11 – $9.00 (2048 positions)Level 12 – $10.80 (4096 positions)Level 13 – $13.50 (8192 positions)Level 14 – $16.20 (16,384 positions)Level 15 -$18.90 (32,768 positions)Level 16 – $22.50 (65,536 positions)Matching Matrix Commissions

The Matching Bonus is paid out on level 2 and above matrix commissions.
Newsletter Commissions

How much of a commission is paid out depends on what cấp độ of the matrix a newsletter subscriber falls on:
Levels 1 to 7 – 37.5 cents per subscriberLevels 8 to 18 – 50 cents per subscriberLevel 14 – 87.5 cents per subscriberLevels 15 & 16 – $1 per subscriberNote that an tiếp thị liên kết must themselves be on a monthly newsletter subscription if they wish khổng lồ earn newsletter commissions.

Conclusion
With a near identical business mã sản phẩm to Four Corners Alliance Group it’s easy to lớn see this as the re-incarnation of Longevity7, albeit with a slightly tweaked business model.
Whilst retail is entirely possible, it is both more expensive and less financially beneficial to lớn Four Corner Alliance affiliates than simply recruiting new affiliates into the company.
The intent behind the hàng hóa purchases in Four Corners Alliance Group plays a big role in the legitimacy of business mã sản phẩm and focus in the comp plan. Affiliates must purchase each level of product in order lớn earn a commission, which is also tied into the matrix levels.
Effectively commissions wise, affiliates are buying (unlocking) a matrix cấp độ to earn commissions on it when other affiliates unlock their matrices. Any products bundled as part of this are purely incidental.
I have khổng lồ say at this point that I’m slightly confused on the mechanics of Four Corners Alliance Group’s matrix mechanics. It appears khổng lồ be a straight up recruitment commission paying matrix but the way it’s presented appears lớn make it look tier based:
This doesn’t make much sense khổng lồ me as it indicates a cap on the commissions an affiliate can earn when those in their downline buy into the matrix.
Eg. As above, an tiếp thị liên kết is only able lớn earn a commission on two people who buy into màn chơi 1 of the matrix (most likely affiliates they themselves recruit).
What happens to the cấp độ 1 commissions generated by any affiliates they recruit after that? The above diagram certainly confuses things.
In anycase, again I fall back on the intent behind the purchase of products. I’m going to lớn pretty much rule out the existence of retail purely on the complete lack of focus on the sản phẩm line (calling your products “1 lớn 16” isn’t exactly going lớn inspire people khổng lồ hand over nearly $400 for).
Take away the compensation plan and it must be asked whether or not affiliates would purchase the 16 levels of product. Ditto the newsletter.
I’m going lớn go with “no”, largely based on specific wording in Four Corners Alliance Group’s compensation plan:
Your initial joining fee of $15 includes the members’ discounted purchase price of the first of these excellent products. From then on, subsequent modules will be purchased at the special membership rates from your commissions generated in your business, meaning there are no further out of pocket expenses.
Affiliates can opt to pay the buy-in fees at each cấp độ themselves, but it’s clear the idea is khổng lồ fill up your matrix and pay the cấp độ buy-in out of the commissions generated.
And this brings me lớn my final observation, that being that Four Corners Alliance Group very much feels like a recruitment scheme with as many “legitimate” avenue of sales attached on khổng lồ it.
The orientation towards signing up as an tiếp thị liên kết (25% discount) and generating commissions by signing up other affiliates và having them vày the same is obvious, yet the retail avenues to sell products 1 khổng lồ 16 are also there.
Given the nature of how Four Corners Alliance Group is presented by the company itself I’d be surprised to learn of any significant (if any) retail activity within the company itself.
As a prospective Four Corners affiliate this can be verified via a check of your potential upline’s retail customer to affiliate ratio. If their downline is full of affiliates that’s a good indication of a recruitment scheme in operation with attached but insignificant retail options.
Update 20th June năm trước – Following the observation of changes to lớn Four Corners Alliance Group’s compensation plan, I’ve now put up an updated v2.0 review.
