Your referral link and your referrals at a glance.

Three steps

  1. Step 1 of 3

    Open your account

    Start a trial, and your referral link is ready on the referrals page of your dashboard.

  2. Step 2 of 3

    Share your link

    Share it in your posts, your newsletter or your course, with your affiliate relationship disclosed.

  3. Step 3 of 3

    Receive your share

    Your share of what we collect from each person you refer is paid to the bank account you connect.

Who refers well

  • People who teach freelancing or starting a small business.
  • Web design communities and course creators.
  • Bookkeepers, marketers and advisers who already serve local businesses.

You bring the audience, and the platform does the rest for the people you refer.

The terms

TermHow it works
Your share30% of what we collect from each referral, rising to 40% once you have 25 or more active paying referrals
Length12 months from each signup
What countsPlan fees, site fees and credit packs, less refunds and chargebacks
When you are paidAfter a 60-day holding period, once your balance reaches the minimum in the affiliate terms
AttributionThe last referral link a person opened, within 60 days
One role per referralEach account has one referrer, and you cannot refer your own account

Your share is paid only on money we have already collected, so a refund removes the matching share. The earnings disclosure applies to affiliates as well.

Promote it well

  • Show what partners do: find businesses, build sites and bill their clients.
  • Disclose your affiliate relationship in every post that carries your link.
  • Send people to the pricing page for prices, and leave income figures out.
  • Promote on your own channels, and leave paid search on our name to us.

Questions

Do I need to sell websites to refer?

No. Every account has a referral link on its referrals page, whether or not you sell a site yourself.

The docs

When is my share paid?

Each charge becomes payable 60 days after it clears, and a payout starts once your balance reaches the minimum in the affiliate terms.

Affiliate terms

Where do I see my referrals?

On your referrals page: the visits to your link, the people who signed up and the ones who pay.

What happens on a refund?

A refund removes the matching share, because your share comes only from money we have already collected.

Affiliate terms

Can I refer my own account?

No. Each account has one referrer, and you cannot hold both roles for the same referral.

Where are prices for the people I refer?

On the pricing page, with every plan and the trial. Link to it when someone asks what it costs.
