Understanding Enterprise Commission Potential
Quick Answer
Enterprise referrals can generate $1,000 to $20,000+ in commission from a single client. You earn 30% on ALL enterprise payments including bulk listing fees, sponsor subscriptions, lead purchases, pro bono unlimited subscriptions, and custom advertising packages—all within the 12-month window.
Overview
Enterprise clients represent the highest earning potential in the Heritage Web Affiliate Program. While individual professionals might spend $500-2,000 annually, enterprises routinely spend $10,000-100,000+ in their first year. Your 30% commission on these amounts can transform a single referral into substantial recurring income.
