Skip to content earn a commission if you later upgrade. The free tier itself costs you nothing, now or ever.
Short answer: yes. CB Profit Club has a free forever tier called Team. It
includes the done-for-you membership funnel, automated follow-up emails, live coaching and
intermediate training — no card required. What it doesn’t include is member recruitment, which
is VIP-only.
Almost every review of this program treats it as a paid product. That’s because most reviewers
never created an account — they wrote from the sales page.
There are three tiers, and the entry tier is free. Not a trial, not a seven-day window. Free
forever, with a working funnel attached to your name. This post covers exactly what you get at
$0, exactly what stays locked, and the one situation where paying actually makes sense.

What the free tier includes
The Team plan is more generous than “free” usually means in this niche. You get:
| Included at $0 | What it means |
|---|---|
| Done-for-you membership site | A complete funnel under your affiliate ID — pages, copy, checkout, all built |
| Automated follow-up emails | Written sequences that run on leads you send, without you writing a word |
| Live coaching | Scheduled sessions with the team, not just recorded replays |
| Intermediate training | The core training modules covering how the system works |
A funnel plus a year of email follow-up for nothing is the part worth pausing on. Building
those two assets yourself is what stops most people before their first commission.
What’s locked at Team level
Being straight about the trade, since this is the actual answer people are searching for:
| Locked at Team | Unlocks at |
|---|---|
| Additional tools | Partner ($295/yr) |
| Live training archive | Partner |
| Advanced training | Partner |
| Coaching workshops | VIP ($495/yr) |
| Priority support | VIP |
| Early access to new offers | VIP |
| Ongoing done-for-you member recruitment | VIP |
| Option to unlock 5x more traffic | VIP |
The two highlighted rows are the ones that matter. Member recruitment — the
vendor sending signups to your funnel — is VIP only. It is not available at Team or Partner level.
So on the free plan you have a funnel, but you’re responsible for every visitor who sees it.
Know that going in.
Commission rates on the free plan
You earn commissions at Team level — just at lower rates than paid members:
| Commission on | Team (free) | VIP ($495/yr) |
|---|---|---|
| Upsell 1 | 50% | 100% |
| Upsell 2 | 40% | 75% |
| Upgrade sales | 50% | 75% |
| Products & tools | 30% | 50% |
| Premium events & coaching | 5% | 25% |
| DFY services | 5% | 20% |
Fifty percent on the front end while paying nothing is a fair deal. You’re giving up the
higher rates and the recruitment feature, not giving up the ability to earn.
What happens when you join
Signing up creates a member account tagged to whoever referred you — the join form shows the
referring member’s name directly on it. From there you get immediate access to the members area,
your funnel, and the training.
No card, no trial countdown, no automatic conversion to paid. The upgrade page sits inside the
members area if and when you want it.
Is there a catch?
Not a hidden one, but there is an obvious one worth naming: the free tier exists to get you
inside so you’ll eventually upgrade. That’s the business model, and the upgrade page is
prominent once you’re in.
Whether that’s a problem depends on how you use it. If you join free, work the funnel, and
upgrade because the numbers justify it, the model works in your favour — you evaluated before
paying. If you join free and immediately upgrade because a page told you to, you’ve skipped the
part that made it a good deal.
The other honest caveat: a free funnel with no traffic earns nothing. The program itself
advises members to build their own traffic rather than rely on what’s sent to them. That advice
applies double at Team level, where nothing is sent to you at all.
When upgrading makes sense
One test: can you send any traffic at all?
If you can — a list, a channel, an ad budget, anything — the VIP maths is straightforward.
It’s $495 a year, and you earn 75% on upgrade sales. Using the program’s own example of a $495
upgrade, that’s around $371 to you. Two upgrade sales across a whole year clears the cost.
If you can’t send traffic yet, stay free. There’s no clock, nothing expires, and upgrading
won’t manufacture an audience you don’t have.
One thing I’d steer you away from: the middle Partner tier at $295. It raises your commission
rates but still doesn’t include member recruitment. You’d be paying $295 for better rates on
sales you generate entirely yourself — and the extra $200 to reach VIP pays for itself on your
first upgrade sale. Treat this as a free-or-VIP decision.

FAQ
Is CB Profit Club really free?
Yes. The Team tier costs nothing and doesn’t expire. It includes the done-for-you funnel,
automated follow-up emails, live coaching and intermediate training.
Is it a free trial or free forever?
Free forever. It’s a permanent membership tier, not a trial window, and there’s no automatic
conversion to a paid plan.
Do I need a credit card to join free?
No. The free Team tier doesn’t require payment details.
Can I earn commissions on the free plan?
Yes — 50% on the first upsell, 40% on the second, and 50% on upgrade sales, plus lower rates
on tools, events and DFY services.
What’s the difference between free and VIP?
VIP roughly doubles most commission rates, unlocks all training, and adds ongoing member
recruitment plus a traffic option. Recruitment is the main difference — it’s unavailable on
free and on the middle Partner tier.
Should I upgrade straight away?
Only if you can already send traffic. VIP breaks even at roughly two upgrade sales a year,
which is achievable with an audience and unpredictable without one. Staying free costs nothing
while you build one.
