Compensation Plan Zija Introduction
WHAT MAKES ZIJA SPECIAL?
Zija International manufactures and sells high-quality health and nutritional supplements, drinks, teas, shakes,
essential oils, skin care, and other related products worldwide through our global family of Independent Distribu-tors.
Individuals use Zija products in their everyday lives to achieve improved health and wellness. We pride our-selves
on the quality of our products and the results that people are able to achieve. All Zija International products
are designed and distributed with a purpose; each and every one is also the results of years of scientific research
and development.
FIRST and foremost, Zija International is about products. As mentioned above, the purpose of our products is
to improve lives.
SECOND, Zija makes it easy for customers to purchase our products directly from a Zija Independent Dis-tributor,
online, or over the phone from Zija Customer Service. We constantly strive to ensure a pleasant and
educational experience so that customers can enjoy maximum product benefits.
LASTLY, in addition to our great products and ease of purchase, Zija also offers individuals a unique income
opportunity. Zija Independent Distributors are able to introduce and sell our products as well as introduce
the Zija income opportunity to others.
BUYING ZIJA PRODUCTS
Zija makes it easy to purchase our products in the following ways:
BUY directly from a Zija Independent Distributor.
JOIN as a Retail Customer and buy products directly from Zija.
JOIN as a Wholesale Member and buy products directly from Zija at the wholesale price. The Wholesale
Membership Fee is $20.00 USD per year; if you are a regular purchaser of Zija products, you will save much
more than the Wholesale Membership Fee over a year’s time.
CALL a Zija Customer Service Representative or go to your MyZija Back Office to place an order online.
PLACE product orders via the Zija Life Unlimited Mobile App.
SIGN UP for the Zija AutoShip program to have the product(s) of your choice sent to you automatically every
28 days*.
THE ZIJA INCOME OPPORTUNITY
Do any of the following scenarios interest you as a reward for sharing products that you love?
EARN enough money to pay for your Zija products so that they are, in essence, free for you.
EARN enough money so that you can pay and get ahead of your bills.
EARN extra money to pay for things like vacations or hobbies.
EARN enough money so that Zija can become your career.
EARN enough money to retire early.
EARN enough money to pay for you or your children’s education.
The Zija income opportunity provides you these opportunities and more!
People who succeed at building their own Zija business are no different than you—except that they have learned
how to leverage the motivated efforts of others to create a recurring income for themselves. Are you willing to
work hard to try to make your dreams come true? You could be the next Zija success story!

Compensation Plan
When you introduce others to Zija’s products, they can purchase them
directly from you at a price you set or from Zija as Retail Customers
at the retail price. If you are an Active Distributor, Zija will pay you the
difference between the wholesale price and the retail price that your
Retail Customer paid if purchased directly from Zija*. This is called Retail
Sales Profits and normally equates to a profit of up to 20%. Retail Sales
Profits are paid weekly.
Team Commissions (TC) are the backbone of the Zija Compensation Plan,
and you can benefit greatly based upon the Transaction Volume (TV) in
your Downline.
The Team Commissions portion of the Zija Compensation Plan is binary.
Our binary plan means that you will have the benefit of being placed in
one of two Legs—left or right—in your Sponsor’s group. You will then be
compensated based on successfully building two Legs of your own. Your
Sponsor and Upline Members may also place people in your Downline;
these people will count toward your Team Commissions and Rank
qualification. Team Commissions are paid weekly.
Understanding Team Commissions:
If you and your two Personally-Sponsored Wholesale Members are
Active 75 or greater, you will have earned the Rank of Builder and will
be eligible to receive up to 10% in Team Commissions. Your first two
Personally-Sponsored Wholesale Members need to be on separate Legs.
Team Commissions are earned on your Lesser Leg Commissionable
Volume (CV) and begin at 500 accumulated Commissionable Volume
on this Leg, as well as on every 100 points thereafter. All unpaid
Commissionable Volume carries over each Cycle as long as you remain
an Active 75. For Team Commissions to be paid in subsequent Cycles,
there must be a minimum of 500 accumulated Commissionable Volume
in your Lesser Leg. Zija will pay Team Commissions of up to $10,000 per
Cycle, per Business Center.
Zija pays up to 6% of Commissionable Volume to Emeralds and above.
LCMP allows you to earn commissions based on Team Commissions
of Distributors that you personally sponsor, the Team Commissions of
Distributors that they personally sponsor, and so on, through potentially
RETAIL SALES
*Retail Sales and Retails Sales Profits are not available in all countries.

POOL (LCMP)
7. 7
Compensation Plan
In this example, YOU are Active 150. You are also Qualified because you have a Personally-Sponsored Distribu-tor/
Wholesale Member on your left Leg who is Active 75 and a Personally-Sponsored Distributor/Wholesale
Member on your right Leg who is Active 150. You would earn 10% of 500 Commissionable Volume, or $50.
ZIJA TEAM COMMISSION EXAMPLE
8. 8
Compensation Plan
8 Generations of Leaders in your Personally-Sponsored Tree. Because
there is no limit to the number of Distributors/Wholesale Members that
you can personally sponsor, there is no limit to the number of Person-ally-
Sponsored Tree Legs that you can have. In other words, you have
unlimited width. Your depth depends on your Pay Rank.
LCMP begins when you achieve the senior leadership level Pay Rank of
Emerald, and is paid up to 4 Generations. Diamond Executives (Diamond,
Double Diamond, Triple Diamond, and Black Diamond) will be paid up
to 5 Generations. Diamond Elites (Diamond Elite, Double Diamond Elite,
and Triple Diamond Elite) will be paid up to 6 Generations. Crowne Dia-mond
Elites (Crowne Diamond Elite, Double Crowne Diamond Elite and
Triple Crowne Diamond Elite) will be paid up to 7 Generations. Future
Leadership levels will be paid up to 8 Generations. A Generation ends
when a leader is found (Bronze or above), regardless of depth. You must
be at least the Pay Rank of Emerald to be eligible for LCMP.
LCMP is paid weekly and is based on a floating percentage of Commis-sionable
Volume*. The Team Commissions earned by Distributors in your
Personally-Sponsored Tree (within the generations for which you qualify)
will determine the amount of your LCMP.
*Weekly commissions from LCMP cannot exceed the Volume from your Lesser Volume Leg.
DIAMOND POOL
Zija pays up to 4% of Commissionable Volume to Diamond Executives.
For each Personally-Sponsored Tree Leg where there is a Qualified
Bronze or higher, Diamonds and above earn points in the Diamond Pool.
The more qualifying Leadership Legs and Leaders you create, the more
points you earn in the Pool. This bonus is paid weekly, based on your
earned portion of the Pool.
DIAMOND ELITE POOL
Zija pays up to 2% of Commissionable Volume for Diamond Elite Execu-tives
and above. For each Personally-Sponsored Tree Leg where there is
a Qualified Emerald or higher, Diamond Elites and above earn points in
the Diamond Elite Pool. The more qualifying Leadership Legs and Lead-ers
you create, the more points you earn in the Pool. This bonus is paid
weekly, based on your earned portion of the Pool.
The LCMP, DP, DEP are subject to individual leg point caps and total payout caps.
