Spondea is paid by Builders: an onboarding fee, plus a share of the Vouch Rate a Builder sets on their own Listing. That is the whole of our revenue. Nothing on this page is subsidised by a payment from you, because there is no payment from you.

How earning works

Intros become Accounts. Accounts pay a Stream.

  1. IntroYou log an IntroYour first genuine contact with a prospect, timestamped the moment you log it. That record decides who is credited — not whichever link the Client happened to click last.
  2. AccountThe Intro becomes an AccountWhen the prospect becomes a paying Client, the Account is yours to service. Commission posts to your Ledger at the Vouch Rate the Builder published before you started.
  3. StreamThe Account pays a StreamWhile the Account stays serviced you are paid every month, for at most 24 months. The Stream follows the service: it stops when the Account stops, and it never depends on anything you sold elsewhere.

Worked example — Ledgerpad is a fictional Listing shown to make the arithmetic checkable. It is not one of the products in the Catalog, and nobody is vouched on anything yet.

You are paid for as long as the Account stays serviced, for at most 24 months. At the cap the Stream ends. If the Client stops paying or the Account stops being serviced, it ends sooner.

Commission is flat and single-level. You are paid on your own Intros and on the Accounts you service, at the Vouch Rate the Builder published before you started. Spondea does not pay you for how many other people you introduce to the platform. No such payment exists in the product, and no part of what you earn depends on the size of anyone’s network.

Support work

A Split is paid for work, not for introductions.

A Split pays a Specialist for support work staffed onto an Account that already exists. The Advocate holding the Account brings the Specialist in; the Split is metered by the work actually done and comes out of that same Account commission. It is one commission divided between the two people servicing one Account — not a second commission, and nobody is paid anything for having made the connection between them.

The two shares add back to exactly what the Account paid. A Split never creates money that the Account did not produce.

The Viva

An examination, not a quiz.

The Viva is free. There is nothing to buy before it, during it or after it — no course fee, no examination fee, no starter kit, no minimum order. Retakes are free too.

An examiner asks about twelve questions about that one product, in your own words. It follows up on a thin answer and pushes back when you are wrong. There is nothing to guess at. Fail and you are told the exact gaps, and you can sit it again the next day.

  1. Study the Listing — free, no identity check
  2. Sit the Viva — about twenty minutes, spoken-style
  3. Verify your identity once — Spondea pays for it
  4. Hold your Badge for that Listing and start working

Example exchange — question 4 of 12, written for this page

Examiner · generated by AI

A trader tells you she already writes her takings in a book and it works fine. What do you ask her before you answer?

Candidate · answered by a person

I ask what happens when the book is full, and whether she can tell me last Tuesday takings without counting the whole page again.

Your Book

A career record you can take anywhere.

Your Book is yours to export. Accounts won, Streams maintained, Intros logged, Badges held and service quality — as one page a bank, a landlord or an employer can check line by line against the Ledger. It does not belong to a Listing or to a Builder. If a Listing closes or you never work with that Builder again, the Book keeps the record and you take it with you.

Example Book — no Contributors are vouched yet, so this is an illustration for a fictional holder, not a real record.

Straight answers

The questions worth asking first.

Is there really no cost at any point — not even a small verification fee?

Correct. Learning, the Viva, identity verification and getting paid are free at every step. Spondea is paid by Builders — an onboarding fee, plus a share of the Vouch Rate they set on their own Listing. Never by an Advocate or a Specialist.

If I introduce someone who gets vouched too, do I earn from their sales?

No. Commission is flat and single-level, and it is tied to your own Intros and the Accounts you service. Nothing pays out based on how many other people you bring in. That kind of payment does not exist in the product, by design.

What stops this from becoming the kind of scheme people have been burned by?

Three things you can check. Every commission traces to one Account and one service period on an append-only Ledger you can read yourself. Earnings never depend on how many other people are in the network. And Trainer promotions and payout releases always require a person to approve them — they are never fully automated.

What happens to my Intros and Accounts if a Listing shuts down?

Your Book keeps the record regardless. Accounts won, Streams maintained and Badges earned stay attached to you and stay exportable. A Stream stops when the Account it is tied to stops being serviced; the history of it having earned does not disappear.

Do I have to pass the Viva before I can start earning?

You can study any Listing for free with no Viva required. To log an Intro and earn on that Listing, you need to have passed its Viva and completed identity verification first — both free.
