The affiliate program

Affiliates earn 25% of a referred organization's first-year contract, paid once. If you introduce a 40-person practice that subscribes at $25 a seat, their first year is a $1,000 contract and $250 of it is yours. Larger organizations land in volume pricing ($20 a seat past 150 people, $15 past 250), and your quarter is calculated on whatever their first year actually costs.

The commission accrues when the organization's first invoice is paid — not when they sign up, and not while a checkout is abandoned in a tab somewhere. Renewals in later years belong to us; keeping renewal revenue is what lets the first-year share stay at 25%. Your referral link remembers visitors for 60 days, so an office manager who clicks in January and subscribes in February still counts as yours.

Applying happens on the affiliate program page. We read applications personally and approve people whose word already carries weight with the organizations they'd refer: consultants, MSPs, advisors, and publishers, mostly. Once approved you'll get your link, and your commissions appear in our ledger from the first referral onward.

Three rules protect everyone involved. First, disclose the relationship wherever you share your link — the FTC requires it, and quiet affiliate links erode exactly the trust that makes your referral valuable. Second, affiliates must be independent of the organizations they refer: sending your own employer through your link is a conflict of interest, not a commission. Third, describe the course the way we do — our certification explainer covers what a certificate of completion honestly is, and claims we don't make ourselves (like guaranteed compliance) are off the table for affiliates too.

Before your first payout we'll collect a W-9, since United States tax reporting applies once earnings cross the IRS threshold. We'll walk you through it when the time comes rather than burying you in paperwork on day one.
