Step 1
Apply with your SalaryGuide account
Sign in, pick your code, and agree to the terms. We review every application by hand and email you once it’s decided.
Step 2
Share it with agencies you know
Once you are approved, you get a link, a code, and ready-made posts that already say you earn a commission.
Step 3
Get paid every month
Each commission waits 30 days so refunds can clear. Payouts are sent monthly once your commission is ready. We pay by Wise, PayPal, or bank transfer once your tax form is on file.
What you earn per agency
| Agency on the annual plan: pays $319.20 ($399 minus 20%), you earn 20% of $319.20 | $63.84 |
| Agency on the monthly plan for 12 months: pays $672.60 (3 x $47.20 + 9 x $59), you earn 20% of $672.60 | Up to $134.52 |
| Bonus on your first agency on the annual plan | $25 |
You earn 20% of what the agency pays for Teams, after its discount and before tax, for 12 months from its first invoice. The $25 bonus is paid once, when your first agency on the annual plan pays. Agencies on the monthly plan never count toward it.
What the agency gets
Agencies that use your link or code get 20% off their first 3 months of the Teams plan. On the annual plan that is the whole first year: $319.20 instead of $399.
Questions partners ask
- Does it cost anything to join?
No. Joining the affiliate program is free. Anyone with a SalaryGuide account can apply, and we approve every partner by hand.
- How does review work?
We review every application by hand and email you once it’s decided. Your link and code appear in your affiliate settings once you are approved.
- Who can I refer?
Any company buying the SalaryGuide Teams plan for the first time. Most partners refer marketing agencies they work with or know well.
- Can I refer the agency I work for?
Yes, if you tell the agency in writing, before it buys, that you earn a commission. You never earn on an account you pay for, own, or control.
- How long does my link last?
90 days after someone clicks it. If they click another partner’s link after yours, the newer link counts.
- How does the bonus work?
The $25 bonus is paid once, when your first agency on the annual plan pays. Agencies on the monthly plan never count toward it. If that payment is refunded or disputed, we take the bonus back.
- When do I get paid?
Each commission waits 30 days after the agency pays, so refunds can clear. Payouts are sent monthly once your commission is ready. We pay by Wise, PayPal, or bank transfer, and we need your tax form on file first.
- How do I send my payout details and tax form?
Once you are approved, open the “How we pay you” section in your affiliate settings. Add your Wise, PayPal, or bank details and upload a W-9 (US partners) or W-8BEN (everyone else). We need both before your first payout.
- What happens if an agency asks for a refund?
We take back the commission on that payment. If we already paid you, it comes off your next payout.
- Can I run ads?
Yes, but not on searches for SalaryGuide or misspellings of it.
- Do I pay tax on this?
Probably. You are responsible for tax where you live, and we need a W-9 or W-8BEN form before your first payout.
