20% Of Every Payment

Earn 20% of every payment made by every student who enrolls using your affiliate link. If they pay monthly, that is 20% every month for as long as they stay enrolled. If they prepay a year, it is 20% of the whole year, paid at once. No caps. No expiry.

Example Earnings

Referred Students Monthly Revenue Annual Earnings
5 students $149/mo $1,788/yr
10 students $298/mo $3,576/yr
25 students $745/mo $8,940/yr

* Based on the $149/month subscription, and earnings continue for as long as referred students remain enrolled. A student who prepays a year instead pays you 20% of that year in one payment, about $179 on a 2nd Class ticket, rather than month by month.

Common Questions

Do referral commissions expire?
No. As long as your referred subscriber keeps paying, you keep earning 20% of what they pay, with no time limit. On a monthly subscription that is 20% every month. On an annual prepay it is 20% of the year in one payment, and because an annual does not auto-renew, that is the commission for that year.
Does a 4th Class referral count?
Yes. 4th Class is sold one paper at a time, $99 for a full year, paid once with no auto-renewal. Refer someone who buys 4A or 4B and you earn 20% of that payment, close to $20 a paper, and again if they buy the other paper too. Point 4th Class people at fullsteamahead.ca/4th-class-complete with your code on the end, the same way as the 2nd and 3rd Class pages.
Can I give someone a discount?
Yes. Generate a one-time code on your Referrals page and send it to the person you're talking to. It takes 20% off their first month of 2nd or 3rd Class Complete and expires 48 hours after you make it. You still earn 20% of that first month on the discounted price, then 20% of the regular price every month after. A used code also locks the sale to you, whichever link they clicked.
What is last-click attribution?
If a potential subscriber clicks multiple affiliate links before signing up, the commission goes to the affiliate whose link was clicked last. This is the standard model used across most affiliate platforms.
What if someone doesn't subscribe right away?
If they click your link and subscribe anytime within 90 days, the commission is credited to you. You don't need them to sign up on the same visit.
When are payouts processed?
On the 15th of each month for the previous month's earnings. Commissions earned in April are paid on May 15th via Interac e-Transfer.
What happens if a subscriber cancels?
Commissions are paid on successful subscription payments, on the price the student pays before GST. If a subscriber cancels or receives a refund on a future payment, no commission is earned on that specific transaction.
How do I track my referrals?
Log in to your Referrals page to see clicks, referrals, and earnings in real time. Everything is tracked automatically; no manual reporting needed.

Commissions are tracked through your unique affiliate link or a discount code you generated. Subscriptions that come in without either cannot be credited to your account, so always share your link or your code.
