If you’re using someone else’s course, you must share credit with them and if & when felt necessary a written permission may be requested.

If a teacher/coach uses someone else’s trademarked term/practice, then Decoding Wellness will pull out the material, they won’t be compensated and the participant’s will get a refund.

Furthermore, reminders to exercise necessary caution and steps to ensure safety and health, like avoiding driving or operating of heavy machinery, should also be included in the guidelines and description when necessary.

We strive to keep not only the content quality thoughtful and well-crafted but the audio quality as well as part of our promise to the participants.

A typical meditation/technique/visualization should not range more than 15-20 minutes. But can be flexible depending on your course structure.

EARNING REVENUE FROM YOUR COURSE AT DECODING WELLNESS. 

Our intention at Decoding Wellness is to help Coaches/ teachers earn meaningful revenue from their work. This is made possible through the following ways:

1. Individual Course Sales
2. Donations (if any)

DONATIONS

It’s possible for teacher/coaches to receive donations from their participants. There will be three donation amounts available: US$2.99, US$6.99, and US$20.99.

The teacher/coach will receive 80% of the revenue while Decoding Wellness gets 20% to maintain the platform seamlessly.

Let’s say you receive a donation of US$20.99. You will receive 80% of this which is US$16.79.

Final Split:

Decoding Wellness (20%): US$4.19

Teacher/Coach (80%): US$16.79.

INDIVIDUAL COURSE SALES

Courses will be made available to the participants on our website, and ads will be placed at various platforms to attract your right clients.

The teacher/Coach will receive 50% of the revenue per course (50/50 Split) after the platform fee of 4% is added to the cost of your course and has been considered.

For example, for a course that costs US$33.99, the 4% platform Fee is US$1.35. So ultimately, Decoding Wellness receives US$32.64. This will then be split 50/50. The teacher/coach will then get US$16.32 for every individual sale.

The breakdown is as follows:

Course Price: US$33.99
Less 4% platform Fee: US$1.35
Net Earnings: US$32.64

Final split:
Decoding Wellness (50%): US$16.32
Teacher/Coach (50%): US$16.32

PAYMENT

Our payment cycle for Teachers/Coaches will be monthly as we’ll like to take into consideration the donations received too. “Monthly means” within the month of the Live Session if it happens in the 1^stor 2^nd week of a month, but if the Live session is scheduled and done in the 3^rd or 4^th week of a month, the Teacher/Coach will receive the payment within the 15^th of the next month.

If the payment day falls on a non-working day, the payment will be received on the next working day.

If as a Teacher/Coach your income is not more than $10.00, then we have to wait for your courses next cycle to complete the payment, as the transfer fee and maintenance fee will not allow us to proceed with this number.

When you provide us your payment details, we will share with you the form you need to fill up so we can proceed with your payment.
