# Affiliate Program

_Other Tools_

Refer others to CRMown and earn recurring commissions.

## Steps
1. Open Settings and click 🏆 Referrals in the row of links at the top of the page (it moved out of the profile menu). Direct link: /dashboard/referrals. It is NOT in the Tools sidebar.
2. Copy your unique referral link.
3. Share with your network.
4. Track referrals, earnings, and payouts on the dashboard.

## Tips
- Commission tiers increase as you refer more users (15% to 35%).
- Milestones unlock free plan upgrades.
- Not the same as Lead Generation > Referrals: that one tracks referrals between YOUR customers. This one is the CRMown affiliate programme, where you earn commission for referring new CRMown users.

## Example
A productivity YouTuber drops her CRMown referral link in 4 newsletter sends + a video description. By Q2 she's referred 28 paying users; her commission tier auto-bumps to "Partner" (25%) and her own plan upgrades to free Max because she crossed the 25-active-referrals milestone. Monthly affiliate payout: $640 of recurring commission.
