12

Three steps, then it runs itself
Apply
Tell us who you are and who listens to you. The program is by invitation, and we read every application.
Share your link
You get one link and one code that never change, plus a QR code for the room. A business that signs up with either and chooses the offer is yours.
Get paid monthly
Your partner page shows how many signed up and what you've earned. Payouts go to your bank through Stripe.
Who we're looking for
People small businesses already listen to
You don't need a huge following. You need an audience of owners who are about to build, or rebuild, a website — and their trust.
Content creators
You make videos, posts or a podcast about running a small business, side projects or a trade, and your audience asks what tools you use.
Course creators and educators
You teach people to start or grow a business, and "get a website up" is a lesson in your course, cohort or workshop.
Web designers and freelancers
You build sites for clients and want to hand over something they can run themselves: editor, store, bookings and email in one account.
Coaches and consultants
You advise owners one to one or in groups, and they come to you before they choose how to get online.
Bookkeepers and advisors
You already work inside your clients' businesses and see who is sending invoices by hand or losing bookings to the phone.
Newsletter and community hosts
You run a newsletter, a local group or an online community where owners trade recommendations.

Program FAQs
Questions, answered
30% of every plan payment we collect from a site you referred, for 12 months from its first plan payment. A Store plan billed yearly earns you $82.50, and a Starter plan billed yearly earns $49.50. There's no limit on how many businesses you can refer.
One month off their first plan charge, once per site. On a yearly plan that is one month's worth of the plan, not the whole year. It applies when they sign up with your link or code and choose the partner offer.
Plan payments: the Starter and Store plans, monthly or yearly, on what the business actually paid. Domain names, AI credit packs, charges beyond a plan's limits and taxes don't count. A yearly plan earns once, on the yearly payment that starts it; its renewal a year later falls outside the 12 months.
If a payment is refunded, the commission on it is taken back.
Once a month, through Stripe, to your US bank account. Commission becomes payable 60 days after the payment it comes from, and we pay out once $50 or more is payable; a smaller balance carries over to the next month.
We need a completed Form W-9 from you before your first payout.
You get one link and one code, and they don't change. The link fills in your code at sign-up, and anyone can type the code themselves. The business chooses the partner offer as it signs up, and your code is saved on its account. It covers every site that account creates for itself.
You see how many signed up and what you've earned, never who. We don't share the names of the businesses.
The program is by invitation, which is what this application is for. You need to be 18 or over and either live in the United States or run a business organized here, with a US bank account.
Joining is free, and you don't need a site with us. Partners get their own sign-in, separate from a website account. You earn nothing on your own sites.
That you earn a commission when someone signs up through you, said clearly and close to your recommendation. In a video, say it out loud. The Partner Agreement you accept when you first sign in has the full rules, including what you can and can't say about Tropic Arts.
Yes, at any time. You're paid what you earned up to the end, except commission that relates to a breach or fraud.
