WealthyAd, an online opportunity registered through a UK domain registrar, requires members to pay weekly membership fees. This system departs from the typical monthly subscription seen in many matrix-based multi-level marketing schemes. The company's website offers no information about its operators or those behind WealthyAd.
WealthyAd provides no retail product. Members can participate in an internal banner advertising network. This network rotates banner ads among WealthyAd members. Participation in this network comes free with company membership.
The WealthyAd compensation plan uses a simple 2x1 matrix. A commission pays out each time the matrix fills. The 2x1 matrix places the member at the top, with two positions directly underneath needing to be filled. When these positions fill, members earn a commission between $1 and $18, depending on their WealthyAd membership level.
Once a matrix fills and cycles, the system places members into an existing matrix. This placement prioritizes cycling out the oldest running matrices first. There is no stated limit on the number of cycles or commissions members can earn.
Individuals can join WealthyAd Advertising Angels as a free member, though free accounts cannot earn money. These free accounts remain valid for up to 24 hours. After this period, members must pay a weekly membership fee to participate in the compensation plan.
The weekly membership fees range from "Bronze1" at $2 to "Gold5" at $36. There are 12 membership levels in total. Fifty percent of the membership fee pays out in commissions when a member cycles. The other 50% covers an admin position, which WealthyAd calls an "angel position," within the matrices. WealthyAd charges an additional 12% fee on top of the membership cost, which goes to the company itself.
WealthyAd claims its main business is advertising. However, the advertising component of the WealthyAd Advertising Angel opportunity holds little practical value. The network primarily delivers ads to other members who have joined with the sole purpose of recruiting new participants to make money. These members show no interest in products outside of similar recruitment schemes.
