Beta model: flat 3,000₽ subscription
Instead of the old $150 (Master) / $30 (client) tiers and one-off $400 per student — a single flat price, and the Master gets a recurring % from their students' subscriptions. Below: distribution math, net for every side, and why this removes the main financial bomb of the old scheme.
Two independent money pipes
Common confusion: "the Master's commission goes toward their own subscription, then toward equipment." Mechanically these are two separate transactions, not one pool.
Key difference from the old $400 model
Before, $400 per student was a real cash-out by the founder on top of everything (a CAC bomb, unprofitable at lifetime < 21 months). Now the Master's commission is capped by the client's payment and never exceeds it. Overpayment is impossible.
Breakdown of one client payment (3,000 ₽)
Shares are configurable. Base variant: Master 40%, Ambassador 20%.
| To | Share | Of 3,000 ₽ |
|---|---|---|
| Master (recurring from student) | 40% | 1,200 ₽ |
| Ambassador (20% / 2 levels) | 20% | 600 ₽ |
| Infra / Stars / support | ~14% | ~426 ₽ |
| Founder — net | ~26% | ~774 ₽ |
Master net by number of clients
Commission 40% (1,200 ₽/client) minus their 3,000 ₽ subscription.
| Clients | Income | − Sub | Net/mo |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1,200 ₽ | −3,000 ₽ | −1,800 ₽ |
| 2 | 2,400 ₽ | −3,000 ₽ | −600 ₽ |
| 3 | 3,600 ₽ | −3,000 ₽ | +600 ₽ |
| 5 | 6,000 ₽ | −3,000 ₽ | +3,000 ₽ |
| 9 | 10,800 ₽ | −3,000 ₽ | +7,800 ₽ |
Master break-even — 3 clients. Beyond that their subscription is paid, the remainder goes to equipment and practice.
Ambassador: 20% across two levels
Scenario: 3 Masters, 15 clients each (45 clients total).
| Level | Base | 20% / mo |
|---|---|---|
| 1st — the Masters themselves (3 × 3,000) | 9,000 ₽ | 1,800 ₽ |
| 2nd — their clients (45 × 3,000) | 135,000 ₽ | 27,000 ₽ |
| Ambassador total | 144,000 ₽ | 28,800 ₽ |
≈ 345,600 ₽ per year recurring on a modest network. Commission does NOT apply to your own students (if you run your own group) — those are direct program income.
Important client-price caveat
The old client paid $30 ≈ 2,130 ₽. Flat 3,000 ₽ is +41% at the client's entry point. Client conversion is exactly what drives "more people," which you want. Master got cheaper (good for recruiting), but client got pricier (hits volume).
Recommended optimization — asymmetry
Set Master 3,000 ₽ / Client ~1,800 ₽ (even cheaper than the old 2,130 ₽ → conversion grows), give Master the same 40% of client (720 ₽). Then Master break-even is 5 clients, founder is in profit from month one, and client entry is not inflated. This beats both flat 3,000/3,000 and the old scheme.
