Wait, What Do You Mean By A "Sale"?
A "sale" happens when your referral signs up for web hosting to get their free website built. Here's exactly how it works:
Lead Applies
Your referral fills out the application form on our website
We Accept Them
We accept 90%+ of affiliate referrals (priority access)
They Sign Up for Hosting
This is your "sale" - when they purchase hosting with Bluehost ($35)
We Build Their Website
We handle all the development work completely free
The Bottom Line
Your "sale" is when someone signs up for web hosting with Bluehost (for $35) using our affiliate link. That's it! We get a commission when they sign up with Bluehost, which covers our costs to build them a professional website worth thousands — and gets you $125-$150 in commissions.
Why Everyone Wants a Free Professional Website
Offer something every business owner dreams of: a professionally-built website that normally costs thousands.
$0 Development Costs
They'll only pay for web hosting with Bluehost, which costs $35. The development work is 100% free.
Professional Quality
We use professionally designed website templates and customize them to the person's needs.
Top Rated
Promote a service people love. More than 10,000+ 5-star reviews, and rated #1 on Clutch, G2 and by Forbes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our affiliate program
How do I earn commissions?
You'll earn a commission every time a website visitor you send to us becomes a client.
Here's what that means:
When they sign up for web hosting, you get credited for a sale.*
* Commissions are paid out assuming the person doesn't cancel their Bluehost subscription in the first 45 days.
How much do I earn per referral?
Our commission structure is tiered based on your monthly performance:
1-24 sales per month:
$125 per sale
25+ sales per month:
$150 per sale
This means top performers can earn significantly more than with other affiliate programs like Wix or Squarespace, which typically pay a flat $100 per sale.
How frequently do I get paid?
We pay out to our affiliate partners on the first of every month for referrals for which 45 days has elapsed since the customer signed up with web hosting.
For example: If you refer someone on August 10th whose website application we accept, and they sign up for web hosting on August 12th, assuming that customer doesn't cancel their web hosting within 45 days, you'll receive a payout on October 1st.
Where can I promote your link?
You can promote our affiliate link through various channels:
- Social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter)
- Your website or blog
- Email marketing campaigns
- YouTube videos or podcasts
- Online communities and forums (following their guidelines)
You are not allowed to compete against us for keywords (on Google Ads, etc), post your link on any of our social media content, or undercut our own marketing campaigns. You must also follow FTC guidelines and disclose your affiliate relationship.
How can we run an affiliate program for a free service?
Our free-website program is great way for us to build connections with entrepreneurs, some of whom will hire us for much larger paid projects as their companies grow.
Think of our free-website program as similar to a neighborhood coffee shop handing out free tasters of a new roast. If you enjoy the free coffee, you might come back later and buy something from that same coffee shop.
More than 95% of the people we've built websites for have been happy with the results, and about 18% go on to hire us for paid projects later on.
In the meantime, we cover our costs with the affiliate commission we receive when a client signs up with Bluehost at the beginning of our process.
