7k offers a way to earn supplemental income through their 7k Share Plan. If you refer just two customers to 7k as a Member, you can apply to become an Associate. With this comes access to in-depth training and education on how to use 7k to build a business and earn supplemental income. As an Associate, you can earn recurring commissions starting at $500/week. The bigger your team gets, the bigger your commission checks. The more people that are helped, the more people there are earning supplemental income that is changing their lives, and that’s what this benefit is all about.


7k Associates are independent contractors who can earn supplemental income by referring customers to 7k. Median gross earnings for active 7k Associates in the U.S. are about $500 per year, excluding taxes and customary business expenses, which vary greatly depending on individual circumstances. Results vary and success is not guaranteed and requires time, skill, and hard work. For more information, visit https://www.7kmetals.com/resources/income-disclosures.

Bullion refers to gold, silver, or other precious metals that are refined and shaped into bars or coins. Its value comes primarily from the metal content itself and its price is closely tied to the current market value of that metal.
Ungraded gold or silver (raw coins) refers to precious metal coins, bars, or other forms of gold and silver that haven’t been certified and graded by a third-party grading service like NGC or PCGS. These items are sold in their raw, original condition, without a numerical or adjectival grade assigned to them.
Collectible coins, also known as numismatic coins, are coins valued by collectors for reasons beyond their intrinsic metal content. They are often prized for their historical significance, aesthetic appeal, unique designs, limited mintage, or special releases. Unlike bullion coins which are primarily valued for their metal content, collectible coins can have a premium value due to their rarity or unique features.
No. 7k offers training through their Buyers and Collectors Certification courses. They also work with experts, so you don’t have to be one.

Gains from gold and silver, including bullion and ETFs, are generally subject to capital gains taxes. Please consult your own financial advisors.
