In true MLM tradition, there are 8 ways to earn income with Unicity. As expected, the the amount you can earn will depend on your rank. Unicity tell us that they have a 'simple rank advancement system'. They go on to tell us that you will 'receive a detailed guide after you enroll as a distributor'.

While this lack of detail might be explained as 'not wanting to confuse new recruits'. It could also be explained as 'Unicity is trying to sign you up before you see all the details'. We believe that this sort of lack of transparency is an early warning sign that the opportunity doesn't work.

We didn't pay the $40 joining fee, but we did find a library which included the 2017 Unicity Compensation Plan. This is the MLM document which explains all the different ways to earn, and how you qualify to earn them. We will go through the ways to earn with Unicity below:

1 - Retail Profit

You can earn a profit margin if you buy products at the distributor price, and sell them at either the full retail price or the preferred customer price. The amount you can earn from each product is shown on the 2016 Unicity price list. We believe that retail margins are the best way to earn income with any MLM. At the end of the day when you join network marketing, you become a commission based salesperson. Unfortunately, like all MLM compensations plans, Unicity only gives a 2 sentence mention to retail profit.

As we saw in the price list, each product also carries a Personal Volume (PV) value. In order to earn any commissions other than retail profit, you will need to order at least 100 PV worth of product per month. We estimate that it will you will need to order +/- US $125 per month at distributor prices. Dr Jon Taylor would say that this raises Red Flag 3 - Pay to Play

2 - Personal Rebate

Starting in your second month as a Unicity distributor, you can receive monthly rebates. This is like a refund on money you paid to them during the month. We think charging you a lower price would make more sense, but that's just our opinion. To qualify for the rebate you must order at least 100 PV worth of product. The more you order each month, the larger your rebate will be. The table below shows the different rebates and the PV needed to qualify for them:
