FREE-LANCERS

What this position means

Freelancers provide services or defined deliverables under a separate approved agreement. Freelancing does not automatically confer collaborator or affiliate status.

Eligibility and compensation

Approved Free-Lancer example: For a qualifying $100 lease in the Free-Lancer arrangement, the Free-Lancer receives 45% ($45) and APDD receives 55% ($55), with no additional Affiliate split. For a qualifying $10,000 website project under the same arrangement, the example is $4,500 to the Free-Lancer and $5,500 to APDD.

Actual work, eligibility and compensation require APDD approval and a written agreement. Proven Free-Lancers may be emailed an invitation to apply for available Collaborator or Affiliate positions; an invitation is not automatic promotion or acceptance.

Payment basis: Percentages use gross qualifying revenue, off the top before APDD operating or project expenses. Eligible payouts are initiated after cleared customer funds and required verification, subject to the written agreement.

Participation safeguards

Applications do not guarantee admission, assignments or earnings. Approval requires an available position where applicable, vetting, verification and a signed role-specific agreement. APDD pays no second-level or deeper commissions.

Applicants aged 16–17 require a separate minor application, signatures from all legally required parents or guardians, and applicable federal and state compliance review. APDD does not accept applicants under 16. These rules are draft policies awaiting legal review.

Payment policy: initiate eligible payouts after the bank verifies and confirms APDD has received qualifying funds, subject to the agreement and compliance checks. No guarantee of immediate arrival in the recipient’s account. Illustrations are not guaranteed earnings.
