Exitus Elite’s Compensation Plan

Exitus Elite makes use of a 1-up gifting mannequin, which sees each affiliate cross up their first obtained gifting cost on every tier.
Gifting funds are made by immediately recruited Exitus Elite associates. The MLM aspect of the enterprise happens by way of the 1-up pass-up mannequin, in addition to “pay to play”.
Exitus Elite associates are capped at receiving funds on the best tier they themselves have purchased into.
E.g. a G500 tier Exitus Elite affiliate can solely each obtain as much as $500 per gifting cost their recruits make. What’s left is handed upline to the primary tier-qualified affiliate.
Right here’s an instance:
You’re a G500 affiliate and recruit a brand new affiliate. That affiliate buys in at G2000.
When you’d purchased in at G2000 you’d obtain the $2000 gifting cost. Seeing as you solely purchased in at G500 nevertheless, you obtain $500. This leaves $1500 nonetheless to be paid out.
This $1500 is paid upline to the primary G1000 or G2000 tier certified affiliate discovered. Upline refers back to the affiliate who recruited you, the affiliate who recruited that affiliate and so forth.
On this instance, if a G1000 affiliate was discovered first, they’d obtain $500 ($1000 minus the $500 you obtained), leaving $1000 to be paid to the primary upline G2000 tier certified affiliate.
If a G2000 affiliate was discovered first, they’d obtain the complete $1500 gifting cost. Nothing is each handed up on funds made to G2000 tier certified associates.
Fractional gifting funds may also be made. Exitus Elite permits associates to improve gifting tiers by making partial funds.
E.g. You’re a G250 affiliate and need to purchase into G1000. You solely pay the $750 distinction.
This decreased gifting cost continues to be handed upline as per the 1-up mannequin and required upline tier qualification.

Exitus Elite Conclusion
Apart from adjusted gifting tiers, not a lot has modified in Exitus Elite since BehindMLM’s 2016 evaluation.
The unlawful gifting scheme stays intact, as does the “pay to play” nature of the unlawful enterprise mannequin.
You may typically cross up three or 4 individuals, and the fee generated as you improve to the upper, extra worthwhile ranges.
In gentle of Exitus Elite being an unlawful gifting scheme, what it bundles with gifting funds is irrelevant.
For reference nevertheless, now we have:
- G100 – ebooks
