Scout is how the Partner Program rewards you for introducing other Partners who then earn Direct commissions — one level only. It is not a multi-level tree and not a substitute for honest Direct promotion.
TL;DR
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Depth | One level (your recruit’s Direct, not their Scouts) |
| Source | Share of the recruit’s Direct commission |
| Duration | Configured Scout window / relationship rules |
| Payable order | Scout cannot pay before its parent Direct is payable/paid |
When Scout makes sense
- You know creators who will disclose and promote carefully
- You mentor someone through apply → first share
- You want compounding introductions without MLM depth
How to talk about it (compliant)
“If you become a Partner through my introduction and earn Direct commissions on real sales, I may earn a configured Scout share of those Direct commissions — one level, with disclosure.”
Never: “infinite downline,” “guaranteed passive,” or “recruit or die.”
