I had a call with one of students recently, she was adapting to life with a new baby and while the web dev business she has built was already supporting her, she wanted to explore how she could increase her income without spending any more time.
This is one of my favourite topics so we dove in, discussing everything from how she could refine her niche, attract higher calibre clients, and streamline her process to finish each project faster. But the topic that left the most impact, that she hasn’t considered before was how she could leverage strategic partnerships and referrals to add passive income every month.
For her, this meant finding partners she trusted that had skills or time she didn’t to recommend to her clients (copywriter, graphic designer, photographer, SEO or ads expert etc) and earning a commission for every referral.
And while this is something anyone who has a creative business can do, it’s also something you can tap into *before* you even start a business - find trusted partners to recommend, they do the work and you get paid.
There are loads of businesses out there doing amazing work that will happily pay a commission for any clients you refer, and often you already have a network of potential clients to choose from.
One of our alumni has even made this their entire business - they go in to businesses as a consultant with a high level audit of what the business needs, and then they recommend the people, businesses & tools to make it happen.
So next Wednesday we’re hosting a free workshop teaching you how to do the same - with real examples of referral programs that you can join. For our alumni, you can watch it on demand whenever you like and for our broader community we’ll share free access for one day only.
- beginner friendly
- no previous skills or experience needed
- walk away understanding how to make an extra $500+ per month in passive income through referring businesses you trust
