How the 50% commission works

BBU’s program page says you “receive 50% commission on affiliate sales of BBU’s online classes and doula trainings.” The calculator applies exactly that: for each class, your monthly sales × the class’s published price × 50%. A sale of Intro to Childbirth ($97) is $48.50 of commission; ten a month is $485.

What counts as a virtual class sale

The calculator lists BBU’s self-paced virtual family classes at their published prices: Preparing for Your Hospital Birth ($97), Intro to Childbirth ($97), Comfort Measures ($67), Bringing Home Baby ($97), Breastfeeding ($47), Preparing for Your VBAC ($67) and Newborn Care 101 ($47), plus the four Spanish classes (three at $97, Lactancia Materna at $47).

BBU’s doula trainings and perinatal professional courses are part of the program too, so they are listed with the price on each page: Certified Birth Doula Training ($550), Certified Postpartum Doula Training ($550), the Birth + Postpartum bundle ($900), the two Cross Certification trainings ($175 each), and the three perinatal professional courses, Comfort Measures, Newborn Care and Breastfeeding/Infant Feeding ($47 each). The program page says affiliates earn 50% commission on sales of BBU’s online classes and doula trainings, so they are shown at 50%. Passes are left out because the program page does not say how they are treated; ask BBU. If you sell another virtual class, enter its price in the optional row.

Running your own numbers

Everything in the result comes from your inputs. The page does not publish earnings figures, does not say what affiliates typically sell, and does not forecast anything. Use it to see what a plan would come to, for example one class a week to your prenatal clients, and change the numbers to compare.

Joining the program

The affiliate program is for professionals. Affiliates earn 50% commission on sales of BBU’s online classes and doula trainings made through their own link. The program page has how to apply.

Reading the result

The result shows commission per class, the monthly total and the total for the number of months you choose, with every figure traceable to your own sales estimate. It is not an income promise and not a target. If you also teach or support families directly, a realistic estimate starts from the families you already see; the class finder and the other family tools can help you match each family to the classes that fit them.
