What revenue is commissionable
Commission is paid on money the people you referred pay to Jinu. Today that means two products: paid listings and Boosts.
What earns you a commission
- Paid listings. A referred member publishes a job ($20), a service ($5), a property listing ($3), a stay ($3) or a vehicle as a dealer ($3).
- Boosts. A referred member promotes a listing: $1, $3, $5, or a custom amount between $6 and $50 on the web.
What does not, and cannot
Local sales between members earn nothing, and this is not an oversight. Jinu takes 0% of a deal between two members and never handles that money, so no payment to Jinu exists and there is no revenue to share. A referred member can sell a car for $9,000 in cash and it produces no commission, because Jinu received nothing from it.
Free listings earn nothing for the same reason. Most of Jinu is free to post, so a referred member can be very active and generate no commissionable revenue at all. It is worth understanding that before you choose how to promote Jinu.
The rate is applied to net revenue
Before your percentage is worked out, these come off the amount charged:
- Sales tax and anything else collected for a tax authority, which was never Jinu's money.
- Discounts, which is money that never arrived.
- Credits Jinu itself funded and applied at checkout.
- Refunds already issued against that payment.
New products are not automatically included
Nothing is commissionable unless it is on the program's product list. If Jinu launches a subscription, a verification product or a placement product later, it earns you nothing until it is deliberately added, and it will not start paying quietly in the background.
Seeing it broken down
The Earnings page at /account/affiliate/earnings shows what you have earned and what it came from, over the date range you choose. The Referrals page shows each attributed member and which month of the ladder they are currently in.
