You have seen a hundred of these.
This one has a product.
DigitalFlyer SA builds professional pages for small businesses across South Africa. You introduce the business, we build and run everything, and you get paid every year they stay with us.
Let us get the suspicious part out of the way
You are right to be careful. So here is everything, up front.
It costs nothing to join.
No sign-up fee, no starter pack, no monthly fee. If you are ever asked to pay us to be an agent, it is not us.
There is no stock.
You are not buying products and reselling them. There is nothing sitting in your garage.
You do not recruit other agents.
No downline, no team under you, no earning off other people's work. You earn on businesses you personally bring in. That is the only way to earn here.
You are not employed by us.
You are independent. You choose your own hours, work how you want, and handle your own tax. We do not pay you a salary and do not promise you will earn anything.
We cannot guarantee you income.
What you make depends entirely on how many businesses you bring in. Some agents will make very little. We would rather say that now than have you find out later.
What you are actually selling
Most small businesses in South Africa have a Facebook page and nothing else. No proper website, nothing that shows up when someone searches, no way for a customer to find them at eleven at night when they are looking for a plumber.
DigitalFlyer SA fixes that.
A professional page
Built for them in days, not a Facebook page, an actual web presence.
A place on our marketplace
Where local customers search and find them.
Branded social posts
Made for them every month, ready to go.
Real customer reviews
Building trust and bringing in more business.
Your job is the introduction. You do not build anything, you do not write anything, and you do not do the support. We do all of it. You find the business and make the connection.
What you earn
You earn a share of what the business pays, and you earn it again every year they renew.
The part worth understanding
Once you pass ten yearly members, you move to 40%, and your first ten move up with you when they renew. So the eleventh sale does not just pay more, it lifts everything you have already built.
Yearly beats monthly, by a long way
A yearly member earns you real money the moment their payment clears, and only yearly members move you up the ladder toward 40%. Learn to sell the yearly plan and everything changes.
A worked example
Growth yearly
R1,199/yr
10 sales at 25%
R2,997.50
Same 10 at 40% on renewal
R4,796.00
Real numbers at today's published price, not a projection. It is an example of the maths, not a promise that you will sign ten. Sign an eleventh, and when those first ten renew the following year they pay 40%, without signing anyone new.
How and when you are paid
Payment clears first
Commission goes into your account when the business's payment actually clears, not when they sign up.
14 day holding period
It sits for 14 days, which covers reversed payments, then it is available.
Weekly payouts over R750
We pay out every week. Once your available balance reaches R750, the whole balance goes to your bank account. If it takes a while to get to R750 it just carries over.
Refunds come off future earnings
If a business gets a refund after you have been paid, that amount comes off your next earnings. We will never send you an invoice or ask for money back.
Anything sitting longer than six months gets paid out no matter the amount.
What you get
Your own page.
Your name, your photo, your story, at your own web address. Not a link with a code on the end, an actual page you would be happy to send to anyone.
A dashboard that tells you the truth.
Who clicked, who signed up, who is still on their free trial, who has paid, and who has not converted yet, with their contact details so you can follow them up.
Ready made social posts.
Branded, with your name and your link, new ones every month. You do not have to think about what to post.
Scripts for what to say.
What to open with. What to send on WhatsApp. What to say when they tell you they already have a Facebook page, because they will say that, and there is a good answer.
Your own services on your page too.
If you already do something else, photography, design, printing, your page has a place for it. This does not have to be the only thing you do.
Who this works for
People who already talk to business owners all day. If you deliver, repair, supply, or sell to small businesses, you are having these conversations already.
People with a real local network in a town where nobody is doing this yet.
People who are comfortable walking into a shop and starting a conversation.
People who want something they can build up slowly, alongside whatever else they do, that keeps paying after the work is done.
Who this does not work for
We would rather be straight with you than waste your time.
If you need money this month, this is not it.
Commission comes when a business pays, and businesses take time to decide. The first few weeks are usually quiet.
If you were hoping to post a link and wait, this is not it.
The people who do well here talk to businesses directly. Posting alone almost never converts.
If you want a salary, this is not it.
There is no basic, no guarantee, and no minimum.
One rule
Sign in to your dashboard at least once every 60 days.
There is no sales target and no quota. If you go quiet we warn you three times before anything happens, and if your account does close, everything you have already earned is still paid out to you.
The FAQ below answers the rest, and the full agent terms are sent to you with your acceptance email. Read both before you commit to anything. We would rather you know exactly what this is.
Questions
You introduce South African businesses to DigitalFlyer SA. When one becomes a paying member, you earn a share of what they pay, every year they stay.
How to apply
Fill in the form. We read every application and come back to you either way. If you are accepted, you get your login, we set up your page together, and you can start the same week.
