Affiliate program

Bring us a contractor. Earn 20% of their monthly plan — for as long as they stay.

Our affiliate program pays a flat 20% recurring commission on every Lighthouse Digital Studio subscription you refer, for the entire life of the client. No cap. No expiration. No tiers.

If you know a contractor — or know someone who knows contractors — this is a real way to turn that connection into ongoing income.

The math

LDS subscriptions are monthly, so your commission is monthly too. One referral looks like this:

Visibility plan

Their $149/mo →

$29.80/mo

or $357.60/year

Momentum plan

Their $299/mo →

$59.80/mo

or $717.60/year

Dominance plan

Their $499/mo →

$99.80/mo

or $1,197.60/year

That's per client — and it keeps paying for as long as they stay subscribed. Bring us five contractors on the Momentum plan and you've got roughly $3,500 a year coming in passively. There's no upper limit.

Who this is for

We made the program open on purpose, because good referrals come from all directions. It's a fit if you're:

A current Lighthouse client. You already know what we do, because we do it for you. The simplest endorsement in the world is "they handle our videos — call them."

Someone with a contractor network. Suppliers, lumberyards, equipment dealers, real estate agents, building inspectors, fellow tradespeople — if contractors are in your phone, this program turns those relationships into recurring income.

A creator or marketer in the trades space. YouTube channel, newsletter, podcast, blog, social account aimed at contractors? We're a fit your audience can actually use.

A friend or family member with the right connections. Doesn't matter what your day job is — if you can introduce us to a contractor who signs up, you earn.

If you're not sure whether you fit, apply anyway. We read every application.

How it works

Apply. Tell us a bit about yourself and how you'd plan to refer contractors. Takes about two minutes, and we respond within a couple of business days.

Get your link. Approved affiliates get a unique tracking link and a personal dashboard to see who clicked, who signed up, and what you've earned.

Share it. Send it to a contractor, drop it in a newsletter, mention us on a podcast, slide it into a DM — however you'd naturally make the introduction.

Get paid every month. When a referred contractor pays their subscription, you earn 20% of it. We pay out monthly. As long as they stay, you keep earning.

Why we structured it this way

Most affiliate programs pay you once and then forget about you. That makes sense if the product is a one-time sale. Ours isn't — contractors who join Lighthouse stay for years, because the video content keeps producing results for their businesses. The people who bring them to us deserve a piece of that long arc, not a one-time finder's fee.

That's why it's lifetime. That's why it's recurring. That's why there's no cap.

Frequently asked

How long is "lifetime"?

As long as the client you referred maintains an active Lighthouse subscription, you earn 20% of every payment they make. No clock, no expiration on our side.

What if they cancel and come back later?

If they ever come back to Lighthouse, you stay on commission — no matter how much time has passed. Lifetime really means lifetime.

When do I get paid?

Monthly, in arrears — usually within the first week of the following month. Payouts are sent by PayPal, so you'll add your PayPal address in your affiliate dashboard after you're approved. A commission becomes payable once the referred payment has cleared and is past our refund window.

How long does my referral link stay attached to someone?

Sixty days. If someone clicks your link and signs up any time within that window, the referral is credited to you — even if they took a few weeks to decide. After they subscribe, they're permanently linked to your account, and that's when the lifetime part kicks in.

Do I need to be a Lighthouse client to refer?

No. You can refer without being a client yourself.

Is there a referral cap?

None on signups. Refer as many contractors as you want.

Can I run paid ads to my affiliate link?

Yes. Paid ads, organic posts, newsletters, podcasts, DMs — whatever fits your style. Two limits: don't make claims about Lighthouse we wouldn't make ourselves, and don't bid on our brand name in search ads (that's traffic we already have). Everything else is open. The program terms spell it out.

Why is there an application?

Open program, light gate. We say yes to almost everyone — the application just lets us screen out spammy fits and send approved affiliates a small kit of materials that actually work.
