Founding partners keep 50% of everyone they send.
We're recruiting our first 25 partners at a founding rate: 50% of every payment your referrals make for their first 12 months — including annual and founding seats, released monthly, locked for as long as you stay in good standing. Standard rate after that is 30%. Real terms, 90-day cookie, monthly payouts.
One-minute application — we reply personally, usually same day.
Approved partners get Studio free while you’re an active partner — sell what you actually use.
Your first year, at 50%
founding-partner rate- Pro subscriptions · 50% × 12 months
- $17,433
- Founding seats · 50% up front
- $1,242
Paid on cleared payments, after each customer's 30-day guarantee window. Assumes referrals stay subscribed.
What it pays
Example: refer ten Pro customers and you earn ~$745/month for a year. Refer ten founding Pro seats while they last and that's ~$4,140, paid as each guarantee window clears.
Rates above are the founding-partner tier (first 25 partners, locked); the standard rate afterward is 30%. For contrast: ManyChat starts affiliates at 30% and requires 201 paid signups to reach 50% — founding partners here start at 50%.
Use the product free — you can't sell what you don't use

Why your audience actually buys it
A rich rate on a product nobody wants pays nothing. Here's the pitch — lift it straight into your content.
Unlimited contacts — the #1 ManyChat complaint, solved
ManyChat's price climbs with every active contact and their free tier just dropped to 25 contacts. SociaHive never charges per contact. Your audience is already angry about this; you're handing them the exit.
AI included, not a $29/mo add-on
AI replies, AI comment handling, and an AI that builds whole automations from one sentence — included on every paid plan. The comparison writes your content for you.
One tool instead of two
DM automation plus a 9-platform post scheduler in one product. Your audience cancels Buffer AND ManyChat — a $50+/mo consolidation story with one link.
Funnels built to convert cold clicks
A $1 seven-day trial, a live try-before-signup demo, and founding annual seats up to $828 — your link lands on offers designed for first-touch traffic, and the 30-day guarantee keeps refund clawbacks honest for both of us.
The rules — read before applying
A 50% founding rate only stays possible if the program stays clean. These terms are the agreement; applying means you accept them.
- 1.If your partnership ends, you keep whatever plan you were paying for when you joined. We never drop you below where you started.
- 2.Commissions count only on real payments that clear — refunds and chargebacks pay nothing, and the $1 trial itself pays nothing (the conversion to a paid plan is what pays).
- 3.An annual or founding sale earns one commission on the whole prepayment, released to you in equal monthly instalments across the commission term — unless each instalment would come to less than $20, in which case it is paid in one go rather than trickling below the payout minimum. If that customer is refunded or charges back, the instalments not yet released are cancelled and never pay; only instalments already paid to you are recovered, and always by deduction from a later payout — never by an invoice.
- 4.No self-referrals. Referring your own account is blocked automatically and never earns. A referral that shares an identity signal with yours — the same company domain, for example — goes to a person to review rather than straight to a refusal: a genuine colleague gets approved.
- 5.No bidding on our brand terms ("SociaHive" and misspellings) in paid search, and no ads or accounts that impersonate official SociaHive channels.
- 6.No cookie stuffing, browser-extension or toolbar injection, iframe tricks, or posting non-public discount codes to coupon sites.
- 7.No spam — unsolicited DM blasts or cold-email runs promoting your link get the link revoked.
- 8.Disclose the relationship where required (FTC and local equivalents). An honest "this is a referral link" never hurt a conversion.
- 9.Fraud or breaking these rules forfeits unpaid commissions and ends the partnership. Judgment calls are made by a human, and you can always ask first.
What happens after the first 25 partners?
The founding-partner rate closes and new partners join at the standard 30%. Founding partners keep their 50% for as long as they stay in good standing — same locked-rate promise our founding customers get. For contrast, ManyChat starts affiliates at 30% and requires 201 paid signups to reach 50%.
Why only 12 months of commission?
It's how a 50% founding rate is possible at all. A referred Pro customer is worth ~$894 to you in year one — front-loaded where your effort was.
Do founding seats really pay 50%?
Yes — a Founding Pro sale ($828/yr) earns you ~$414 in total, released in equal monthly instalments over 12 months starting when the 30-day guarantee window clears. While founding seats last, they are the highest-paying thing you can share.
What do annual referrals pay?
The same rule as everything else: 50% of every payment your referral makes in their first 12 months — up to ~$714 on a Pro annual. An annual buyer makes one payment, so it is ONE commission on the whole prepayment and it never recurs. You are paid it in equal monthly instalments across those 12 months rather than in one lump: the first instalment releases when their 30-day guarantee window closes and one more releases every month after. Small annual sales are the exception — if the monthly instalment would be under $20, you are paid the whole thing at once instead. Annual and founding sales also count as three monthly customers toward the free-account milestones.
Why is an annual commission paid in instalments?
Because an annual customer can still ask for their money back, and when they do we return the whole year. Releasing your commission across the 12 months means a refund cancels the instalments that have not been released yet — they simply never pay — instead of us coming after a payment you already received. You earned a customer who committed to a year, so you are paid as that year is served. The total is identical either way, and if they stay you are paid every cent of it. It only applies where the instalments are worth having: under $20 each they would sit below the $50 payout minimum and roll forward for months, so a small annual commission is paid in one go instead.
How do I know my referrals are tracked?
Your dashboard shows clicks, signups, and conversions from your unique link, tracked through our Stripe billing. Last click within a 90-day window gets the credit.
Who gets approved?
People with a real audience in this space — size matters less than fit. A 900-subscriber newsletter for salon owners beats a 90k meme account. If you're unsure, apply and say so.
