We're thrilled that you want to share CloudSpot with your friends! Here you can learn how both you and your friends can benefit from CloudSpot's Affiliate Program!

The Basics

When your friends sign up to CloudSpot using your link, they'll receive 20% off their first 12 months on CloudSpot, and you'll receive credit equal to the value of their first month's payment (up to the monthly cost of your plan). That means you have the ability to receive an entire month for free for each friend you refer. That's what we call a WIN-WIN 💃

*Referred users must be upgraded for at least 60 days before credit is applied*


Sound good?

Let's get started!

To access your referral link and Affiliate Dashboard, simply -

  1. Login to your CloudSpot dashboard

  2. Click My Account in the top right of your screen

  3. Then click Settings

  4. On the left navigation bar, click Refer a Friend

Now that you have your link, it's time to share it with EVERYONE! To help you out, we created an Affiliate Program Success Kit for access to our favorite templates, swipe copy for social, content inspiration for sharing, and more!


The Dashboard

Here, you can copy your referral link, track the number of users who signed up for a free account with your referral link, remind your free accounts to upgrade for unlocked benefits, track those who converted from a free to a paid account, and your overall payout Analytics.

View of the "Refer a Friend" section of the Gallery settings. The top of the page shows your shareable URL. Below that, lives your analytics including total referrals, free referrals, and upgraded referrals. At the bottom is your earnings. This shows your total earnings, plus what has not been applied to your account yet.

Break it Down

We’ve provided you with a dashboard for tracking, a success kit with graphics to download or edit via Canva, and a referral link to share with your friends. We hope you decide to share these in emails, texts, on courses, YouTube videos, Facebook Groups, or wherever makes sense to you!

Now, let's go over some questions you might have 😊

✨ FAQ ✨

How do I sign up for this program?

💥 Surprise! 💥 You're already in! Every CloudSpot user is automatically enrolled in the Affiliate Program.

How do I tell my friends about this?

Sharing CloudSpot is super easy! To help guide out, we created an Affiliate Program Success Kit with tons of tips and tricks as well pre-made graphics that you can use to share CloudSpot on Social Media or your website!

How long do my friends have to redeem their 20% off?

After your friend creates a free account, they will have 12 months to upgrade to a paid account in order for them to receive 20% and for you to get credit.

How do I get credit for my referral?

When new users sign up, they start with a free account. Once they upgrade to a paid plan (within 12 months) and stay a paid user for 60 days, you will receive a CloudSpot credit for the full value of their first paying month, up to the monthly value of your plan. Credits will be applied on your next billing cycle 📆

How much credit do I actually receive?

This depends on two factors - Your current plan and the plan your friend signs up for. You receive the full value of their first month, up to the value of your plan.

For our fellow nerds, we made this easy-to-follow chart 🤓

Chart showing earned Affiliate plan credited. Referrer's with Lite plan receive $15 in credit for any one who upgrades with their link. Pro Referrers receive $15 for Lite Referees and $30 for Pro and Unlimited. Unlimited Referrers receive $15 for Lite, $30 for Pro, and $45 for Unlimited.

How long will referrals receive their 20% off discount?

Referrals will receive 20% off monthly or annual plans for their first 12 months following the date of their upgrade ⏱️

What happens after the 12 months of discounted membership is over?

After the user’s first 12 months, referred users will be charged at the monthly or annual plan’s full rate.

Can a user use multiple referral links to continue their 20% off after their first 12 months?

No, only one discount code per user is allowed 🙅

The annual plans are already discounted, is the 20% off on top of that?

Yep! This means annual plans can be up to 40% off for their first year! 🤯

Is there a limit on how much credit I can earn?

Absolutely not! You can refer as many friends to CloudSpot as you would like - there is no limit!
