Key Benefits of Landing HighLevel Affiliates
- 40% lifetime commissions: earn 40% recurring commissions on paid HighLevel accounts you directly refer (per campaign terms).
- Compounding recurring income: commissions accrue as long as referred accounts remain active, creating predictable, MRR‑like cash flow.
- No fulfillment or support burden: HighLevel manages the product, billing, and support—freeing you to focus on audience building and promotion.
- Transparent tracking & insights: the Affiliate Portal shows clicks, trials, customers, downline activity (where applicable), and commissions so you can optimize what works.
How to Find Your First 5 Affiliate Referrals
For all of our current affiliates looking to get their first five affiliates, we met with our top affiliates and here's their advice to you!
Method 1: Send An Email/SMS To Your Network
Word‑of‑mouth is still the most effective marketing. If you love HighLevel, odds are your colleagues will, too. Every HighLevel account has access to the Marketing Agency Snapshot, which includes a starter Potential Affiliate Nurture you can customize.
- Create a sub‑account using the Marketing Agency Snapshot.
- Go to Marketing > Email >Campaigns > A Potential Affiliate Nurture and tailor the copy for your voice.
- Activate the campaign.
- Go to Contacts > Smart-lists, select contacts from your network who can benefit from using HighLevel, and use Add To Campaign to enroll them.
Method 2: Create Educational YouTube Videos
Why did you switch to HighLevel? What are your favorite features? What specific workflows helped you level up? Turn those answers into short screen‑recorded videos.
- Keep titles outcome‑focused (e.g., “Launch a Lead‑Gen Funnel in Minutes with HighLevel”).
- Place your affiliatelink at the top of the video description and pin it in the first comment.
- Add timestamps for key moments to improve retention and clicks.
Method 3: Write Insightful Blog Posts
Agency owners actively research tools. Publish posts like “[Previous Tool] vs HighLevel — Why I Made The Switch” or “[Other Tool 1] vs [Other Tool 2] — Why I Left Both.”
- Add your affiliate link near the top (contextual) and again as a clear CTA at the end.
- Follow SEO best practices so your post indexes and surfaces for relevant searches.
Method 4: Hunt Down Opportunities on Social Media
Use social listening to find real problems you can solve with HighLevel.
- Search competitor names, feature keywords, and hashtags to find conversations.
- Join the thread with a concise tip from your experience and invite a DM or share your affiliate link for a trial.
- Keep messages short and helpful; tailor the benefit to their exact pain (saving time, saving money, or getting better results).
Method 5: Start Building a Community
Note: Make sure to join the HighLevel Affiliate Community, to build connections with other HighLevel affiliates, receive Affiliate related announcements, ask your burning affiliate related questions, and so much more! Communities (Facebook Groups, Circle, etc.) are a great place to cultivate relationships with potential affiliates and customers. Share wins and processes to build trust and engagement.
- Document your workflows and post quick wins with a CTA like: “Join our XYZ Group for how we made this happen.”
- Link your affiliate page in the group description and welcome post.
