Partner network

Get paid to recommend software you already rate

If you manage social media for other people — an agency, a freelancer, a creator — you are already recommending tools. This is the version where you earn recurring commission for it.

Especially worth it if you run an agency

You are already choosing the tools your clients use. Commission is recurring, so a client you onboard once keeps paying out — and unlike most referral schemes, you are recommending something you can actually use yourself to do the work.

Brands looking for partners

How it works

  1. 01

    Apply

    Pick a programme and apply. The brand approves who represents them.

  2. 02

    Get your link and code

    Every partner gets both — a tracked link, and a discount code giving your audience 50% off their first month. The code is for the places a link cannot go, which on social is most of them.

  3. 03

    Share it

    Label it as an ad, as the rules require. We'll even draft the posts for you.

  4. 04

    Get paid

    Commission clears after the returns window, then pays out through Stripe once you pass £20.

Worth knowing before you apply

  • You must label your posts as ads. UK advertising rules require it, and it is a condition of the programme. Being eligible for commission is itself a commercial relationship, whether you have been paid yet or not.
  • Commission is held before payout. It clears after the returns window, so a refunded sale never pays out and then gets clawed back from you.
  • You cannot refer yourself. Commission on your own purchases, or a business you control, does not qualify.
  • You handle your own tax. You are self-employed or acting through your own business, and commission is stated exclusive of VAT.

The full detail is in the Partner Terms and the Network Code of Conduct.

Running your own programme — your commission, your approvals, posts written for your partners in your brand voice — is open by invitation while we finish the billing and legal plumbing for self-serve setup, so payouts are right from day one.
