Applewood Referral Partner Program
Send the website stress my way.
Know a small business owner whose WordPress website needs reliable, ongoing care? Make an introduction. If they become a qualifying care-plan client, you’ll earn a $50 finder’s fee.
No pitching, quoting, or tech explanations required.
Your referral reward
one-time finder’s fee
Paid after the client’s third successful monthly care-plan payment.
Made for people small business owners already trust
A simple handoff
You make the connection. I’ll take it from there.
You do not need to sell Applewood or explain care-plan features. Just make a genuine introduction when the need comes up.
01
Hear the cue
A business owner says their website is a mess, they are worried about updates, or they do not know who is responsible for keeping it running.
02
Make an introduction
Send a quick email connecting us, or share Applewood’s referral page with their permission. I’ll assess the website and recommend the right next step.
03
Receive $50
When your referral signs up for a qualifying Website Care Plan and completes three successful monthly payments, I’ll send your finder’s fee.
Built for collaboration
You do what you do best. I’ll handle the WordPress side.
I’m happy to work alongside copywriters, designers, photographers, SEO consultants, and other marketing professionals. Your relationship with your client stays yours. I simply become the trusted person responsible for the website work you do not provide.

What makes a good referral?
The best referrals are active small businesses that value their website but do not have a reliable person keeping it secure, current, and working properly.
A promising fit
Not a qualifying referral
Ready when you are
Let’s become referral partners.
Tell me a little about you and the work you do. There is no cost to join and no referral quota. I’ll reply personally with a quick welcome and everything you need to start making introductions.
Your introduction can be this simple
Hi Casey,
I’d like to introduce you to [name] at [business]. They could use a reliable person to help with their WordPress website, so I thought you two should connect.
I’ll let you take it from here!
Helpful details
Questions, answered.
Everything you need to know before making an introduction.
No. A warm introduction is all I need. I’ll review the website, answer questions, and recommend the right service or care plan directly to the business owner.
After a qualifying new referral enrolls in a monthly Website Care Plan and their first three consecutive monthly payments have been successfully completed. I’ll arrange your payment within 15 days after the third payment clears.
I can help with a WordPress build or rebuild. The referral fee is earned only if the business then enrolls in a qualifying monthly Website Care Plan and completes the required three payments.
Absolutely. There is no referral limit. Each qualifying new business can earn one $50 finder’s fee. The fee is one-time, not a recurring commission.
If you publicly promote or endorse Applewood, clearly say that you may receive a referral fee if someone becomes a client. A simple disclosure is enough: “I may receive a referral fee from Applewood Interactive.”

Referral program terms
Effective August 17, 2026
01
Participation. The Applewood Website Care Referral Partner Program is open to approved referral partners. Joining is free. Applewood Interactive LLC may accept or decline a partner or prospective client at its discretion.
02
Qualifying referral. A referral must be a net-new prospective client who is not a current or former Applewood client and is not already in Applewood’s active pipeline. The prospective client must know about and consent to the introduction.
03
Referral fee. A partner earns one $50 finder’s fee when the referred business enrolls in a qualifying monthly Website Care Plan and completes three consecutive successful monthly payments. One-time projects alone do not qualify. The fee is not recurring and does not increase the client’s price.
04
Payment. Applewood will arrange payment within 15 calendar days after the third qualifying payment clears. No fee is owed if the client cancels before that point or if a qualifying payment is refunded, reversed, disputed, or charged back.
05
Duplicate referrals. One referral fee is available per referred business. If more than one person refers the same business, Applewood’s first documented introduction determines the eligible partner. Self-referrals do not qualify.
06
Your role. Referral partners are independent. Partners may not quote Applewood pricing, promise acceptance or results, enter into agreements for Applewood, or present themselves as an employee or agent of Applewood.
07
Honest disclosure. Partners must be truthful about their relationship with Applewood. Public promotions or endorsements must clearly disclose the possibility of receiving a referral fee.
08
Taxes and documentation. Referral partners must provide Applewood Interactive LLC with a completed Form W-9 before any referral payment can be issued. Referral partners are responsible for reporting all referral income, and Applewood Interactive LLC will issue applicable tax forms when required by law.
09
Program changes. Applewood may change, pause, or end this program at any time. Any fee already earned under these terms will still be honored.
