When people first discover Satsman.com it is only natural for them to focus on the free satoshis they can earn every day. After all, that’s what makes the platform immediately interesting. You log in, complete your daily missions, learn something about Bitcoin and earn a few sats along the way. Do that consistently and those small amounts begin to accumulate.
But I think that can cause people to overlook the much bigger opportunity.
The missions are only the beginning.
Satsman is also a subscription-based business, and once you understand how the recurring commissions work, along with the possibility of duplication, you begin to see why there is considerably more potential here than simply earning a handful of satoshis each day.
One of the biggest questions raised in a recent Satsman survey was a perfectly reasonable one: “How can I make a decent income when the commission is so small?” As a Pro Max member, if you personally introduce another Pro Max member, you earn approximately $2.10 a month while that person remains subscribed. If somebody you introduce brings in another Pro Max member, you earn approximately $1.40 a month from that second-level member.
At first sight, neither figure is particularly exciting. If you think of it as a conventional commission on a single sale, $2.10 certainly doesn’t look like much. But that isn’t how a recurring subscription works. The $2.10 isn’t a one-time payment. It can continue every month for as long as the customer remains subscribed. And you can introduce another customer next week, and another the week after that. Each new subscription potentially adds another small recurring payment to the ones that came before.
Satsman Owner Brian McGinty’s Experience of Subscription Stacking
This is the point Brian McGinty, the owner of Satsman, was making in a recent newsletter. He has seen the principle of recurring income work on a much larger scale before.
Brian explained that he started selling gold in 2013, earning around $1 from a one-gram sale. One dollar didn’t look particularly impressive, but the business was subscription-based. Instead of concentrating on the size of each individual commission, he focused on consistently adding customers. As he became more confident and his customers began getting results, some of those customers started referring other customers.
Seven years later, Brian says that he had built a business with approximately 30,000 customers in 130 countries, generating thousands of dollars in commission each month.
The important point is that it didn’t begin with 30,000 customers. It began with one.
That experience clearly influenced the way Brian approached the development of Satsman. The idea isn’t to make a fortune from one enormous commission. It is to create an opportunity where relatively small recurring commissions can accumulate as the customer base grows.
Satsman currently offers 21% on your first level and 14% on your second level, giving Pro Max members the opportunity to earn 35% across two levels. The first level is approximately $2.10 per month and the second approximately $1.40 per month for each Pro Max subscription.
Those numbers are small, but recurring numbers can look very different once they begin to accumulate.
So let’s take a deliberately simple example.
Suppose you become a Pro Max member and decide that your objective is to introduce one other Pro Max member every week. You’re not trying to recruit ten people a day. You’re not setting yourself the target of hundreds of people in your first month. You’re simply looking for one person each week who is interested enough in Satsman to join you.
At that rate, you would personally introduce 52 people in a year. After five years, you would have personally introduced 260 people.
That’s not a huge number.
But now introduce the concept of duplication. What if the people you introduce also introduce one person a week? And what if some of the people they introduce do the same thing?
This is where the mathematics becomes considerably more interesting.
A mathematical model based on one personal Pro Max referral per week, combined with the same rate of duplication among the first level, produces a theoretical network of 260 personally referred members and 33,670 second-level members after five years, or 33,930 members across the two levels.
Nobody should confuse that model with a prediction. Real people don’t behave like spreadsheets. Some will never introduce anybody. Some will introduce one person and stop. Others will introduce several people. Some will cancel their subscriptions, while others may remain subscribed for years.
The real world is always messier than a mathematical projection.
Nevertheless, the model demonstrates the underlying principle rather well.
If all 260 first-level members and the 33,670 second-level members remained Pro Max subscribers, the monthly commission represented by that network would be approximately $47,636.
That’s an extraordinary figure compared with the $2.10 generated by a single referral. But the important thing is that the $47,636 doesn’t come from one enormous commission. It comes from thousands of relatively small recurring commissions accumulating across a network.
This is why I think it’s a mistake to look at the first $2.10 and decide that Satsman doesn’t offer much potential.
You’re looking at the wrong number.
The more interesting question is what happens when you repeat the process. What happens when one customer becomes ten, ten becomes fifty, fifty becomes a hundred, and some of those people begin introducing customers of their own? What happens when the commissions aren’t paid once and forgotten, but potentially recur every month?
That’s where time becomes an important part of the equation.
The Satsman newsletter illustrated this with a five-year mathematical projection in which cumulative commissions reached approximately $8,228 during the first year, $63,147 by the end of the second, $210,138 by the end of the third, $494,584 by the end of the fourth and $961,866 by the end of the fifth.
Again, I wouldn’t present those figures as something anyone should expect to achieve. They depend on assumptions about recruitment, duplication and retention that may not happen in practice. The value of the example is that it demonstrates the shape of a recurring-income model. The early numbers can look insignificant, but if the customer base continues to grow and the subscriptions continue to renew, the accumulated effect can become much more substantial.
And there is another reason I think Satsman has an interesting advantage.
You don’t have to pretend to be an expert salesman. You’re sharing an educational app that you can actually use yourself. You can complete the missions, learn about Bitcoin, stack some sats and decide that you want to become a Pro Max member. Then, if you like what you’re doing, you can tell somebody else about it.
That’s a very different proposition from trying to sell an expensive product that you don’t personally use.
Of course, none of this means that building a Satsman business is automatic. It isn’t. Recurring income doesn’t magically appear simply because a compensation plan contains the word “recurring”. You still have to find people, introduce them to the platform, help them understand what they’re joining and, most importantly, keep doing it. The people you introduce also have to decide for themselves whether they want to participate and whether they want to build something of their own.
That’s where consistency comes in.
Brian’s gold story is relevant here because it illustrates the importance of thinking beyond the immediate commission. The $1 he earned from that first gram of gold wasn’t significant in itself. What mattered was the decision to keep adding customers to a subscription business over time. The eventual result came from thousands of relatively small actions accumulating over a period of years.
That’s an important distinction. The lesson isn’t that Satsman will necessarily produce the same result. It is that recurring income can behave very differently from one-off commissions when you combine retention, consistent activity and duplication.
You don’t need to think about 30,000 people. You don’t even need to think about 3,000 people. Start with one.
Find one person who might genuinely enjoy Satsman. Show them what you’re doing. Let them experience the platform for themselves. If they decide to become a Pro Max member, great. Then do it again.
One person this week. Another next week.
And if that person decides to do the same thing, you have started something that can potentially grow beyond the people you personally introduce.
That’s the part of Satsman that I think is easy to miss when all the attention is focused on the daily missions.
Yes, you can earn sats by completing those missions, and that’s an important part of the attraction of the platform. But the missions aren’t necessarily the biggest financial opportunity available to a Pro Max member.
The bigger opportunity is the combination of a low-cost subscription, recurring commissions, two levels of income and the possibility of duplication over time.
In other words, the missions may get you started, but they don’t necessarily tell you where Satsman can ultimately take you.
The real question isn’t, “How much can I earn from today’s missions?”
It’s, “What could happen if I keep taking small, consistent actions for the next few years?”
That’s a much more interesting question.
