You only get paid on your direct referrals clicks.
You do get paid more if you are a premium member.....twice as much on your direct ref clicks.
As an upgraded member (premium) you do in fact earn down 8 levels on all upgrades...for example,
every time you sponsor a member that upgrades you would be making $2 and every time someone
in your 8 level organization upgrades, you make $1.
You can mouse over 'Affiliates' above and click 'Program Details' and go from there to see how much
standard and premium members earn and how, exactly.
