[CodeTrain](https://codetrain.ai/) / Conductors # Get paid every month the people you bring keep paying The Conductor Network is the CodeTrain affiliate program. You earn a share of everything we collect from anyone who joins through your link, for as long as they stay subscribed. It starts at 20% and rises to 25%. The credit never expires, and every CodeTrain account already has a link, free ones included. 20% to 25% of every payment they make, for as long as they keep paying $128.00 a month, from one referred team of twenty 5 referrals on Pro, and your own CodeTrain plan is covered [Get your link](https://codetrain.ai/app/#referrals)[See what CodeTrain does first](https://codetrain.ai/) ## What one referral is worth Your rate is set by how many of your referrals are currently paying, and it applies to every one of them at once. | People paying through you | Your rate | One Pro referral pays you | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 to 10 | 20% | $4.80 a month, $57.60 a year | | 11 to 25 | 22.5% | $5.40 a month, $64.80 a year | | 26 and up | 25% | $6.00 a month, $72.00 a year | A team counts for what a team is worth. One referred team of twenty learners is $128.00 a month from a single referral, which at the starting rate is as much as 26 Pro referrals. ## What it adds up to What any number of paying referrals is worth, at $24 a month for Pro. The rate steps up as you pass a rung. $48.00 a month 10 people paying through you, at 20% $576 a year Your own CodeTrain plan is covered, with $24 a month to spare. | People paying through you | Your rate | You earn | | --- | --- | --- | | 5 | 20% | $24.00 a month, $288 a year | | 10 | 20% | $48.00 a month, $576 a year | | 15 | 22.5% | $81.00 a month, $972 a year | | 25 | 22.5% | $135.00 a month, $1,620 a year | | 50 | 25% | $300.00 a month, $3,600 a year | | 100 | 25% | $600.00 a month, $7,200 a year | | 200 | 25% | $1,200.00 a month, $14,400 a year | ## Every new referral lifts the ones you already have Your rate is not applied to your newest referral. It is applied to all of them. So the referral that takes you from 10 to 11 is worth more than the 10 before it: your earnings go from $48.00 a month to $59.40, which is $11.40 a month from one person. The one that takes you from 25 to 26 is worth $21.00 a month. ## Why this pays better than it looks ### There is no attribution window Most programs stop crediting you 30 or 60 days after somebody clicks. We set no window at all. Your code is stored the moment they arrive and read when they open an account, however long that takes, and the first link wins so a later one never takes the credit from you. ### One referral can be a whole team Most programs pay the same for everybody who signs up. This one pays a share of the invoice, so a team of twenty on one account is $128.00 a month from a single conversation. ### Your link pays them as well as you Anyone who joins through you gets 20% off their first 3 months. It comes out of our side rather than yours, so a referral is worth the same $4.80 to you in month one as in month twelve. ### You keep earning if they start earning If somebody you brought in covers their own plan through referrals of their own, you keep earning from them at the rate you already had. Recruiting somebody that good should not cost you. ## How it works ### Pick your link Every account has one, free tier included, and you choose what it says: `codetrain.ai/r/sam`. Keep it short enough to say out loud, because you are more likely to say it than to send it. ### Put it where you already publish A newsletter, a README, a video description, a conference talk, or a message to the team you are onboarding. Nobody has to approve it first. ### Get paid every month they stay Your balance starts at their first invoice. The dashboard shows every referral and what each one has earned you, and it tells you the day one of them changes. ## Who does well with this ### Engineering leads and mentors You already recommend tools to the people you are bringing up. This pays for the conversation you were going to have anyway, and it keeps paying for as long as they use it. ### Newsletter and video creators People who try this product tend to keep paying for it, which is what makes a share of the invoice worth more over a year than a one-off bounty on the signup. ### Bootcamp and workshop operators Your students all need the same thing: somewhere to write code with something reading it as they go. An educator track is on the [roadmap](https://codetrain.ai/roadmap/) as well, still being explored rather than built, so say so if you would use one. ## Common questions ### Is this an affiliate program? Yes, and it is a recurring revenue share rather than a one-off bounty. You earn 20% of every payment the people you referred make, every month, for as long as they keep paying, and the rate rises to 25% as you bring more. Every CodeTrain account has a link, free accounts included, and there is nothing to apply for. ### What happens when one of my referrals cancels? You stop earning from them that month. Your rate follows how many of your referrals are currently paying, so it moves in both directions. Your dashboard shows you the day it happens rather than leaving you to notice a smaller number weeks later. ### When can I take the money out? Each accrual waits 60 days first, so that a refund can be reversed before it is paid, and then it is available. The cash-out threshold is $50. Below that your earnings come off your own CodeTrain bill. ### What does it cost to get paid? We pass Stripe's charges through at cost and add nothing to them. Stripe charges 0.25% plus 25c to send a payout to your bank, and $2 a month for each account it pays out to, so a $50 cash-out costs $2.37. The $2 is charged per month rather than per payout, so a second cash-out in the same month costs $0.37. Your dashboard shows the fee and what will actually land before you press anything. ### Does the discount they get come out of my commission? No. The 20% welcome discount your link gives them comes out of our side. A referral is worth the same $4.80 to you in month one as in month twelve. ### How long do I get credit for somebody who clicked my link? There is no window. Your code is stored in their browser when they arrive and read when they open an account, however long that takes. The first link wins, so somebody who came through you last month is still yours when they sign up. Referring yourself does not work. ## Your link already exists It is in your dashboard, whichever plan you are on, and choosing what it says takes a minute.
