Nobody reads a spreadsheet and gets excited.<\/span><\/p>\n

Numbers on a page are just numbers until someone walks you through them the way a friend would \u2014 slowly, in plain language, using a real example you can actually picture. That is what this article is for.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have ever looked at the Founders Club<\/strong><\/a> revenue-sharing model and thought “I get the concept, but I want to see how it actually plays out in practice,” this is your answer. We are going to walk through two real booking scenarios using the 40\/60 and 60\/40 splits, put actual numbers on the table, and show you what a founder realistically takes home from a suite that is working while they are not in it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s start with the basics.<\/span><\/p>\n

There Are Two Booking Scenarios, and They Are Not the Same<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Founders Club operates on a simple premise: when your suite generates revenue, that revenue is shared between you as the founder-owner and the operating team that runs the property. But the split changes depending on who drives the booking.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Scenario One<\/strong><\/span> is when the Bohol Coconuts<\/strong><\/a> team books the suite through their own channels \u2014 their website, partnerships, referrals, or direct outreach. In this case, the split is 40 to the founder, 60 to operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scenario Two<\/strong><\/span> is when you, the founder, bring in the booking yourself \u2014 through your own network, social media, word of mouth, or any other channel you control. In this case, the split flips to 60 to the founder, 40 to operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The logic is straightforward. If the team does the marketing work and fills your suite, they earn the larger share. If you do the work and bring in the guest, you earn the larger share. It rewards effort on both sides and gives founders a real financial incentive to be active participants, not just passive holders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scenario One: The Team Books Your Suite<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Let us say your Founders Suite generates a nightly rate of 6,500 Philippine Pesos, which is roughly 115 US dollars at current exchange rates. That is a modest, conservative number for a well-positioned eco-lodge suite in Bohol \u2014 not inflated, not a best-case ceiling.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bohol Coconuts<\/strong><\/a> team runs a promotion, picks up a booking through their network, and your suite is occupied for seven nights by a couple on a dive trip from Manila.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is how the math looks.<\/span><\/p>\n

7 nights at 6,500 pesos equals 45,500 pesos in gross revenue for that booking.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the 40\/60 split \u2014 because the team generated this booking \u2014 you as the founder receive 40 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n

40 percent of 45,500 pesos is 18,200 pesos, or roughly 322 US dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is your take from one seven-night booking that you did absolutely nothing to create. You did not market it. You did not answer questions. You did not coordinate arrival. The team handled all of it. Your suite simply existed, was occupied, and sent you money.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now multiply that. If your suite captures two bookings per month at that same seven-night length and rate \u2014 which is a conservative occupancy assumption for a quality property in a growing tourist destination \u2014 you are looking at 36,400 pesos per month in founder revenue, or approximately 644 US dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Annually, at that pace, you are at roughly 7,728 US dollars coming back to you from bookings the team sourced entirely on their own.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is passive. That is the baseline. And that is the 40\/60 scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scenario Two: You Book Your Own Suite<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Now let us use the same numbers but apply Scenario Two, where you are the one who brings in the guest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Same suite. Same nightly rate of 6,500 pesos. Same seven-night stay.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this time, you mentioned the property to a friend at a barbecue in Texas, he looked it up, fell in love with the idea, and booked directly through you. You passed along the reservation. The team handled the on-the-ground logistics, and your friend had a great stay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because you sourced the booking, the split moves to 60 in your favor, 40 to operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

60 percent of 45,500 pesos is 27,300 pesos, or roughly 483 US dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is 161 dollars more from the exact same booking, simply because you made the introduction.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you apply that same logic to two bookings a month \u2014 one the team sources, one you source yourself \u2014 the monthly picture shifts meaningfully.<\/span><\/p>\n
