Incredible companies are being born overnight. Companies like Uber did not even exist a few years ago and they are already worth billions of dollars. These companies are fundamentally transforming customer experiences in a variety of industries.
Take a moment to hear what Keith Block, the COO, President, and Vice Chairman of Salesforce, has to say about industry disrupters like Dorothy.com.

How to earn bricks
How to earn bricks
By now you have strolled, brick by brick, down the Yellow Brick Road that makes Dorothy.com unique. We thank you for taking the stroll and want to answer the question that we hope will take you home. The profit sharing plan pays out once a year based upon company cash profits and your share of the bricks you have earned. The profit sharing pie is broken into 11 slices that can be reviewed below. The cash profits available at the end of the year will be allocated to these slices. Within each slice the profits will be allocated to each individual or entity that has earned bricks. For example, if you have earned bricks in the vendor slice you will be allocated profits by dividing the bricks you earned by the total number of bricks all vendors have earned. Members can earn bricks in more than one slice.

Member managing broker
Member managing broker
The managing brokers will earn bricks by managing agents within their state as well as by completing learning course work, keeping data up to date in LEO and by making purchases through the Dorothy store. Each broker’s profit sharing will be determined by the state within they perform their services.
Example 1:
A sale or purchase transaction is completed using the gold
or orange program by one of the agents you manage. The transaction closes for $500,000. The managing broker receives 7,500 bricks.
Use the brick cruncher to create your own examples.
Example 2:
You complete an 8-hour learning course. Once you complete the necessary documentation you receive bricks based on the amount you paid for the learning or if the learning was free based on the number of hours of the learning.
10% of state profits are shared with member managing brokers.

Member agent
Member agent
Member agents accumulate most of their bricks by generating buy, sell or rent transactions. Each agent’s profit sharing will be determined by the state within they perform their services. If you operate in Florida, then you will share profits only with Florida agents. Agents also earn bricks by completing learning course work, keeping data up to date in LEO, purchasing advertising and by making purchases through the Dorothy.com store.
Example 1:
You complete a sale or purchase transaction using the gold
or orange program. The transaction closes for $500,000. You receive 7,500 bricks.
Use the brick cruncher to create your own examples.
Example 2:
As an agent you are an independent contractor. You are responsible for your own advertising. For each dollar you spend on advertising you will receive 1 brick after submitting supporting documentation.
50% of state profits are shared with member agents.

Vendor
Vendor
Vendors can earn bricks by providing goods and/or services as approved by
Dororthy.com. Sign up to provide services by reviewing our project list and
submitting a bid on those projects. If approved, the vendor will earn bricks
based on the approved bid.
Example 1:
A vendor receives approval for a bricklayer project. The project is approved for $1,000. The vendor will receive 1,000 bricks upon completion and acceptance of the project.
Example 2:
Bricks are purchased to help fund a Dorothy.com project. For example, start-up costs are incurred for legal purposes and you want to help. Each dollar you contribute can go toward legal fees and earns 1 brick. You become a member and qualify for profit sharing.

Brickfunding
Brickfunding
Brickfunding is the use of small amounts of capital from individuals to sponsor a person and or idea. Brickfunding makes use of
your vast networks of friends, family and colleagues through social media websites like
facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to get the word out about a new idea and attract sponsors. Brickfunding has the potential to increase entrepreneurship by expanding the pool of sponsors from whom funds can be raised beyond the traditional circle of owners, relatives and venture capitalists.
Example 1:
One person has a very steady job with ample cash flow but they would like to be an entrepreneur. Another person has excess time and has a skill set (say legal) that could be used by Dorothy.com. Instead of the person with the excess time having to make the decision to leave one company for another and risking their career, they utilize a Brickfunder to sponsor their dream. In the evening or when available the person with the skill set puts time into Dorothy.com projects and the person with excess cash sponsors the budding entrepreneur.
Example 2:
Each agent is required to pay an annual LEO usage fee of $1,500 per year. The first year the agent may want one or more family members or friends to help fund the $1,500 through brick funding. Say there are 3 people who want to help by purchasing bricks. They could purchase 500 bricks each to fund the $1,500. The result is that each person would have 500 bricks and would be eligible to participate in profit sharing.
Example 3:
Your daughter is celebrating a birthday or special event.
In addition to gifting some cash, you buy a $50 gift card on the
Dorothy.com Store.
You insert the gift card with the cash in an envelope. Once the recipient
registers on member.dorothy.com, meets the requirements to
receive profit sharing, the recipient will be eligible for annual profit
sharing.

Advertising
Advertising
The agent and managing broker are closest to the member, so all advertising of Dorothy.com is left to local representatives. That means there is no corporate budget wasted on national golf tournaments, NASCAR etc. That means larger profits shared with you. You know how best to spend the money.
The best advertising is local. Most important, our member agents who spend money advertising Dorothy.com are compensated with bricks. The bricks are part of the Vendor Slice.
Here are some examples that are brick worthy:
-
Set up online accounts on local business directories, such as Yelp and
Yahoo! Local. The online guides help people find local businesses,
restaurants, retailers and more. In addition, users post reviews of
businesses, so ideally your Dorothy.com website will receive great
word-of-mouth marketing from happy clients. Setting up a business
account with Yelp is free, though you can buy sponsorship ads, too. A
basic Yahoo! Local Listing is free, and you can upgrade for a small
monthly fee. (See also: Getting on Google Maps)
-
Submit press releases to local newspapers and business magazines. Be
sure the story is newsworthy, not simply an advertisement. Send press
releases when you win an award, reach a milestone, host an open house or
work with a charity.
-
Drive home your message -- literally. Make your car an advertising
vehicle: Put Dorothy.com on your license plate or license plate frame.
Place a bumper sticker, decal or magnetic sign on your car.
-
Sign up for a free online phone directory, such as yellowpages.com and
yellowpagecity.com. You can also purchase ads in the directories.
-
Post flyers about your business on message boards at libraries,
community centers and grocery stores.
-
Donate a prize to local radio stations for giveaways or contests. You'll
get on-air exposure and perhaps a mention on the station's website, too.
-
Place an ad on Craigslist.com in your city's edition under the
appropriate business category.
-
Enter a parade float in your town's homecoming, Memorial Day or July 4th
parades.
-
Sponsor your local chamber of commerce's website.
-
Try pay-per-click advertising: You can create an ad for search engines
and specify the city or region where you'd like it to run. Two popular
options include Google AdWords and Yahoo! Sponsored Search. Both allow
you to set the click amount and daily maximum you're willing to pay, so
you remain within your budget. For more information on pay-per-click
options and reviews of more than 30 per click search engines, check out
payperclickuniverse.com.
-
Volunteer at a community event wearing Dorothy.com shirts. You might
hand out water at a 5K race or run a concession stand at a local art
fair.

The agent and managing broker are closest to the member, so all advertising of Dorothy.com is left to local representatives. That means there is no corporate budget wasted on national golf tournaments, NASCAR etc. That means larger profits shared with you. You know how best to spend the money.
The best advertising is local. Most important, our member agents who spend money advertising Dorothy.com are compensated with bricks. The bricks are part of the Vendor Slice.
Here are some examples that are brick worthy:
The best advertising is local. Most important, our member agents who spend money advertising Dorothy.com are compensated with bricks. The bricks are part of the Vendor Slice.
Here are some examples that are brick worthy:
- Set up online accounts on local business directories, such as Yelp and Yahoo! Local. The online guides help people find local businesses, restaurants, retailers and more. In addition, users post reviews of businesses, so ideally your Dorothy.com website will receive great word-of-mouth marketing from happy clients. Setting up a business account with Yelp is free, though you can buy sponsorship ads, too. A basic Yahoo! Local Listing is free, and you can upgrade for a small monthly fee. (See also: Getting on Google Maps)
- Submit press releases to local newspapers and business magazines. Be sure the story is newsworthy, not simply an advertisement. Send press releases when you win an award, reach a milestone, host an open house or work with a charity.
- Drive home your message -- literally. Make your car an advertising vehicle: Put Dorothy.com on your license plate or license plate frame. Place a bumper sticker, decal or magnetic sign on your car.
- Sign up for a free online phone directory, such as yellowpages.com and yellowpagecity.com. You can also purchase ads in the directories.
- Post flyers about your business on message boards at libraries, community centers and grocery stores.
- Donate a prize to local radio stations for giveaways or contests. You'll get on-air exposure and perhaps a mention on the station's website, too.
- Place an ad on Craigslist.com in your city's edition under the appropriate business category.
- Enter a parade float in your town's homecoming, Memorial Day or July 4th parades.
- Sponsor your local chamber of commerce's website.

Each zip code has one member agent. For the most part, member agents provide services in the zip code in which the member agent lives.
Any member needing services (buying, selling, or renting) will work with their designated member agent.
However, this does not preclude member agents from serving a member for which the member agent is licensed and an MLS participant.

Dorothy.com is part of what Thomas Friedman called the sharing economy.
We share our success with you, our member agents.
Our member agents receive profit sharing based on the revenue produced by our members.
On an annual basis a certain percentage of profits are shared with our member agents, and profit sharing accumulates year after year. Profit sharing is paid annually based on a life time accumulation of bricks.

Listening to member feedback is paramount to success. Through feedback on each engagement, our members tell us how to get better. Members have a vested interest in improving the services provided by our member agents as this increases their profit sharing. Improved margins equate to higher patronage.
Members refer family, friends, and neighbors to member agents for real estate services because of the experience and profit sharing.

LEO
Most organizations attempt to use a 2 legged stool to build their Customer Relationship Management system ("CRM"). The 2 legged CRM is mostly wobbly and has duplicate data with little hope to keep data accurate.
Dorothy.com utilizes LEO which is built on a three legged stool. This elimnates data duplication, incentivizing members to keep data accurate. Like the definition of the astrological LEO; LEO is center stage to all members.

Dorothy.com exists to discover, empower and recognize the next generation of the world's real estate expertise. The smartest, brightest, boldest, and tenacious. They are the unsung heroes, self-taught, scrappy, driven, passionate, daring, and unafraid to reinvent themselves and their business model. They possess heart, brains, and courage. They are Real Estate Experts.
Supporting the agents and managing brokers are the technical wizards that form the foundation of Dorothy.com. These professionals are committed to making things happen. There are no problems they cannot solve. They make sure that LEO is operating efficiently, providing world class information and is available 24/7. They are the Technical Experts.

illegal.
