+ Pro Tips to Maximise Your Earnings (Even If You’re Just Getting Started)

 

If you’ve just joined as a Connector with the Catalyst Circle — welcome.  You’re not just sharing a great opportunity…

You’re helping grow an ecosystem where everyone wins — and earning recurring income along the way.

Below are clear breakdown of how the commission system works (no fluff, just facts).

Connector Commissions (Level 1)

As a Connector, you’ll earn:

10% commission on every paid Catalyst Circle transaction made by someone you refer using your unique link or code.

This includes:

• • Pro Memberships → You earn $300 per sign-up (based on current price)

• • Ally Memberships → You earn $120 per sign-up (based on current price)

• • Event Sponsorships, Guest Passes, Upgrades, etc. → You get 10% of it all

 

And here’s the best part:

 Founding Connector Status (Stage 1 – capped positions)

If you’re among our active founding Connectors, your 10% commission on members is locked in for life — as long as you stay active. That means lifetime earnings from a single conversation as long as that member stays active, you keep earning every time they renew.

That’s recurring income — without needing to resell.

Level 2 Commissions – Earn from Connectors You Refer (Catalyst Lead Roles only)

Want to multiply your income without doing all the work alone?

Introduce other business owners to the Connector opportunity. When someone signs up using your link, and they begin earning, you’ll receive:

20% of THEIR earnings from member sign-ups.

That means if your referred Connector signs up a Pro Member and earns $300 — you earn $60.

Do this consistently, and you’ve built yourself a leveraged income stream.

Pro Tip: Every Pro or Ally Member has the potential to become a Connector too. Build relationships with the members you sign up — and show them how easy it is to earn by simply sharing their experience. You’ll earn more together.

 

How to Earn Even More: Become a Circle Host

Once you’ve referred 25 or more members, you’re eligible to apply to become a Circle Host.

As a Host, you’ll:

• • Earn an extra 8% on all paid members in your Circle — no matter who referred them

• • Lead monthly events and shape the local business community

• • Gain greater visibility, positioning, and passive income streams

That means you could be earning 18% total on some members (10% as Connector + 8% as Host).

 

Pro Tips to Maximise Your Earnings

Here are some outside-the-box strategies to take your Connector income from a trickle to a flood:

 

1. Start With Your Warm Network

Don’t overthink it. Reach out to:

• • Existing clients who need more exposure

• • Business owners frustrated with networking that doesn’t convert

• • Friends who run events, meetups, or online communities

Send them your personal invitation to a Discovery Session — mention that it’s free (courtesy of sponsors) and some may include light catering (valued at $35 – $120). The real value is in the people they’ll meet and the opportunities present during the session.

 

2. Don’t Sell — Invite

Use curiosity, not pressure. Try:

• • “Would you be open to a room full of people who want to buy, refer or collaborate with you?”

• • “There’s an event I think could really open doors for your business — can I send you the link?”

• • “If I gave you a guest pass to a premium event at no cost, would you come?”

Use the Affiliate Resources tab in your dashboard for message templates you can personalise.

 

3. Promote Content, Not Just the Event

Instead of just dropping your link, share:

• • A screenshot of someone’s win inside a Circle

• • An excerpt from the e-Catalyst magazine

• • Your own experience as a Connector (or a story from someone you referred)

Position yourself as the “connector” — not the salesperson.

 

4. Help Your Members Succeed

The more successful your members are, the more likely they are to stay, refer and upgrade.

Offer to review their $100 pitch
Invite them to a co-working session
Help them post about their offer on social media

When they thrive — you thrive.

 

5. Turn Members into Connectors

Once a Pro or Ally Member is in the Circle and sees the value…

Say this:

“You’re already sharing how good this is — you may as well earn from it. Let me help you sign up as a Connector.”

Send them your affiliate link to the Connector Application and start building your Level 2 team.

 

6. Be the First to Know (and Invite Others Fast)

Keep an eye out for:

• • New Circles opening

• • New industries being onboarded

• • Special bonus promotions for founding members, hosts, or sponsors

Timing matters. People who join early earn more, grow faster, and gain more visibility.

 

Final Word

Being a Connector with Catalyst isn’t about selling — it’s about starting meaningful conversations, opening doors, and getting paid again and again for relationships you already have.

With recurring commissions, Level 2 income, and future host opportunities — there’s no limit to what you can earn here.

Start small. Stay consistent. Be helpful.
And let the Circle grow around you.
