Share the Love (and the Link): Our Referral Program, Explained

Let’s be honest—recommending tools you believe in shouldn’t feel salesy or awkward.

That’s exactly why I created our referral program for the DIY Website in a Box Template. Whether you’re a bookkeeping business coach, niche-specific mentor, or just someone who knows a few overwhelmed bookkeepers, this program gives you a way to share a great resource your way—with a little reward baked in.

Here’s what you need to know:

What Is the Referral Program?

It’s simple. You tell your audience about the DIY Website in a Box Template—an easy-to-use WordPress website solution for virtual bookkeepers. When someone signs up using your link, you choose how the 20% reward is used:

  • Option 1: Keep it.
    Get a 20% commission paid via PayPal (on both the initial purchase and monthly support, if active).
  • Option 2: Gift it.
    Pass the 20% on as a one-time discount for your referral—perfect if you’d rather support your audience directly and skip the payout.

You choose the option that feels most comfortable for you.

Who Is This For?

If you’re someone who regularly teaches, mentors, or supports other bookkeepers, this program is especially for you. That includes:

  • Bookkeeping business coaches
  • Tax pros or accountants with niche networks
  • Content creators or bloggers in the financial space
  • Community leaders and program alumni (like Bookkeeper Launch grads)
  • Anyone with a growing audience of service-based entrepreneurs

Even if you don’t consider yourself an “influencer,” you might be more connected than you think.

What’s the Benefit?

  • Earn passive income (or pass on real savings)
  • Support your audience with a resource that actually helps
  • Align with a mission to help 100 bookkeepers launch their websites by the end of 2025

It’s not about pushing a product—it’s about pointing people toward a solution when they’re stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to begin.

Which Option Is Best for You?

  • Choose the 20% commission if you’re running a business, hosting trainings, or looking to add passive income from tools you already talk about. This is great for content creators, affiliate marketers, and educators.
  • Choose the 20% discount option if your priority is giving back, or if you simply don’t want to receive payment. This works well for mentors, alumni, or coaches who want their audience to get the best deal possible.

Who do you know that would be a great fit for this referral program?

Maybe it’s you. Maybe it’s a coach, mentor, or group leader you’ve learned from. I’d love to connect. Feel free to share or forward this post—let’s build a network of supportive professionals helping each other win online.
