Why "Brokerage" Is Not What You Think It Is
The word "brokerage" conjures images of a lot, a sign, inventory financing, and a state dealer license. That is the old model. FlipLane's affiliate structure lets you earn brokerage-level income without any of those requirements.
You are not buying cars. You are not selling cars. You are connecting buyers to a platform that does both — and collecting your cut.
What You Actually Need to Start
1. A FlipLane affiliate account (free) — Register at flipl.polsia.app/affiliate. Instant access.
2. A network of car buyers (no minimum size) — Three people buying cars in the next 6 months = $750+ in commissions. Start there.
3. Basic communication skills — You will send texts, post in groups, and answer a few questions. No sales scripts, no cold calling, no pressure tactics.
4. Understanding of how the math works — If someone you refer buys a $25,000 car, you get 50% of FlipLane's transaction fee.
How to Build the Business in 90 Days
Month 1: Sign up, get your link, post in 3–5 relevant communities. Target people actively car shopping. Make 2–3 referrals.
Month 2: Double your posting frequency. Try a short blog post or video explaining the wholesale vs. retail price difference. Track which channels convert best.
Month 3: Scale the channels that work. Add one new community. Build a simple follow-up system for people who clicked your link.
At month 3, with 5+ referrals per month at 20% conversion, you are at $250–$500 in monthly commissions. That is the foundation.
