Let's talk about the best part—getting paid! 💰 Here's exactly how the NWG ambassador commission structure works, with real math so you know exactly what to expect.
💵 The Commission Structure
As an NWG Brand Ambassador, you earn:
10%
of everything your referrals pay
That includes:
- Website build fees ($499 standard, $1,000 e-commerce)
- Monthly management fees ($89/month)
- Custom software projects (varies)
- Any add-ons or upgrades
The best part? Monthly commissions are recurring. As long as your referral stays a client, you keep earning every single month.
🧮 Let's Do the Math
Example 1: Standard Website Client
| Item | Client Pays | You Earn (10%) |
|---|---|---|
| Website Build | $499 | $49.90 |
| Monthly Management (Year 1) | $1,068 ($89 × 12) | $106.80 |
| Year 1 Total | $1,447 | $144.70 |
But wait—if they stay for Year 2, you earn another $106.80. Year 3? Another $106.80. See where this is going?
Example 2: E-Commerce Client
| Item | Client Pays | You Earn (10%) |
|---|---|---|
| E-Commerce Build | $1,000 | $100.00 |
| Monthly Management (Year 1) | $1,068 ($89 × 12) | $106.80 |
| Year 1 Total | $1,948 | $194.80 |
Example 3: The Power of Multiple Referrals
Let's say you refer just 5 clients over the course of a year, and they all sign up for standard websites:
| Referrals | Build Commission | Monthly Commission (Year 1) | Total Year 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 clients | $249.50 | $534.00 | $723.50 |
Now here's where it gets exciting. In Year 2, assuming all 5 stay:
| Year | New Build Commissions | Recurring Monthly | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $249.50 | $534.00 | $723.50 |
| Year 2 | $0 (no new referrals) | $534.00 | $534.00 |
| Year 3 | $0 | $534.00 | $534.00 |
| 3-Year Total | $1,671.50 | ||
That's from just 5 referrals. Imagine if you added 5 more each year...
📈 The Snowball Effect
Here's a realistic scenario: You refer 1 client per month (very doable!).
| End of Year | Total Clients Referred | Monthly Recurring | Annual Earnings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | 12 | $106.80/mo | ~$1,168 |
| Year 2 | 24 | $213.60/mo | ~$2,275 |
| Year 3 | 36 | $320.40/mo | ~$3,413 |
By Year 3, you're earning nearly $300/month passively just from previous referrals. Every new referral adds to this snowball.

🔍 Tracking Your Earnings
Your ambassador dashboard shows you everything:

- Pending earnings — Amount waiting to be paid
- Payment history — Record of all payouts
Full transparency. No guessing. No surprises.
❓ Common Commission Questions
"What if my referral cancels?"
You keep all commissions earned up to that point. If they cancel after 6 months, you've already earned 6 months of recurring commission. You just stop earning when they stop paying.
"What if they upgrade or add services?"
You earn 10% of that too! If your referral adds e-commerce to their site or orders a custom feature, you get commission on the upgrade.
"Is there a cap on earnings?"
Nope! No ceiling. The more you refer, the more you earn. Some ambassadors treat this like a serious side hustle and earn hundreds per month.
"What if someone I referred refers someone else?"
Currently, commissions are single-tier (just your direct referrals). We may introduce multi-tier in the future—stay tuned!
"Do I pay taxes on this?"
Yes, commission income is taxable. If you earn more than $600 in a calendar year, you'll receive a 1099 form. We recommend setting aside ~25-30% for taxes or consulting a tax professional.
🎯 Maximizing Your Earnings
Quality Over Quantity
One client who stays for 3 years is worth more than 3 clients who cancel after 2 months. Focus on finding businesses that genuinely need ongoing website management.
Follow Up on Leads
Check in with Joe on your submitted leads. If one doesn't close, ask why—it helps you refine your approach and send better-fit leads.
Think Long-Term
The recurring nature of commissions means patience pays off. Even slow months contribute to your growing monthly baseline.
Stay Active
Ambassadors who consistently look for opportunities (even just 1-2 per month) build significant recurring income over time.
