How do I build a business with Jerky Direct?

  • As a Jerky Direct Distributor, you may build a business in several ways. You may promote your storefront website's retail shopping cart, re-sell our products at your bricks and mortar store, at home demonstrations, at events, at fundraisers, etc., or you may choose to build a downline organization of folks who want to earn money eating jerky and having fun!

How do I earn money on my downline organization?

  • Jerky Direct's downline structure is a simple 7 Level matrix with unlimited width. This means you can place as many people as you choose on your frontline (Level 1). When your frontline Distributors recruit others, those Distributors would be on their frontline (your Level 2). This continues for a maximum of 7 levels of downline members. You earn autoship commissions on the purchases made by your downline team. You will also earn a 5% commission on any wholesale purchases made by your frontline team.

How are Downline Commissions Paid?

  • Each $12.00 twin-pack purchased on autoship has a $5.00 commission associated with it. You are paid a percentage of that commission when your downline organization makes an autoship purchase. There must be someone IN your downline to earn commissions. You do not earn commissions on your own purchases. The autoship percentage rates are: 

    rates are: 

Level 1 - 40% x $5.00 = $2.00
Level 2 -   5% x $5.00 = $  .25
Level 3 -   5% x $5.00 = $  .25
Level 4 - 20% x $5.00 = $1.00
Level 5 -   5% x $5.00 = $  .25
Level 6 -   5% x $5.00 = $  .25
Level 7 - 20% x $5.00 = $1.00


            Promotional items located in your personal shopping cart do not generate commissions.


Is there an enrollment fee?

  • No... Your only requirement is a minimum monthly purchase of $12.00/month in actual product delivered to any address you choose. There are no enrollment fees, website fees or renewal fees at this time. 

What do you get as a Distributor?

  • You will receive a free business website with retail shopping cart and merchant services provided (allowing you to accept credit cards at no charge to you); a Back Office Account Manager to manage your autoship, update your account information, place additional orders, track your commissions and more; you receive product for every autoship dollar spent; and you have the right to re-sell products and build a downline organization.

What Other Ways Can I Earn Money?

  • Preferred Customers - Some of your customers will want to set up an autoship account to receive big discounts and never miss their shipment of products. They receive the same price as a Distributor; however, they cannot earn commissions or build a downline team. Their product purchases will generate commissions to your team according to the 7-level pay plan.
  • Retail Sales from your storefront website will pay you a 20% commission. You will earn a 5% commission on your frontline's retail sales as well.
  • Offline Product Sales can produce additional income for you by purchasing at wholesale (through your personal shopping cart located in your Back Office Account Manager) and selling those products at retail. You can set your own retail price and keep the difference from what you paid as your profit. You will earn a 5% commission on your frontline's wholesale purchases. Remember: You do not earn commissions on your own purchases.

Example: A case of jerky costs $82.10 at wholesale or $3.42/bag. When setting your retail price you need to take into consideration the shipping cost and any overhead that you will incur for marketing materials such as brochures, flyers, etc. You may set your own retail price and many of our Distributors sell one bag at $7.00 - $10.00, determined tby what their local market will support.
