Get Cash Connected, a cash gifting program, launched in May 2012 under the direction of CEO and founder Ron Walsh. Operating from Canada, the company promotes a 100% cash payout, asserting all funds derive from its compensation plan. Beyond this claim, the company provides minimal details about its opportunity unless prospective members surrender their contact information.
Walsh previously launched EZ Wealth Solution in 2007. That venture promised members would "become very wealth, by selling other people's products." Information on EZ Wealth Solution was similarly scarce, though product prices were listed at $47, $97, $247, $497, and $997.
Such 100% commission models often involve a monthly membership fee. Members then gift money to each other through compensation structures like 1-up or 2-up systems.
The Get Cash Connected website offers no details on products members would supposedly market or sell. Compensation plan documents refer to products only as "PKG1," "PKG2," and "PKG3."
The Get Cash Connected compensation plan promises members a 100% sales commission and uses both 1-up and 2-up style structures. The plan divides into three components: PKG1, PKG2, PKG3, and an administrative fee.
PKG1, the entry-level payment at $15, revolves around a 1-up compensation plan. In this structure, each newly recruited member and their subsequent recruits pass 100% of their initial payment to the upline. You, as a new member, also pass your first sale's commission to your upline. For instance, a new member's first payment goes to their upline's upline if they represent the upline's first sale. If it is the upline's second or later sale, the payment goes directly to the upline. Your subsequent sales at the PKG1 level yield 100% commissions directly to you. Your downline must also pass their first sale to you. This means any new member recruited by your direct recruits results in a commission passed up to you, defining the "1-up" structure.
PKG2 and PKG3 increase in price to $25 and $50 respectively. These function similarly to PKG1 sales, but employ a 2-up compensation structure. A 2-up structure requires a new member's first two sales to be passed up to their upline, rather than just one. Otherwise, the concept of members paying each other remains the same. Members must purchase both PKG2 and PKG3 to earn commissions at these higher levels.
