Know a business that's missing enquiries? Let's both be useful to them.
Refer a business and earn a fee, add booking work to your offer, or sponsor our research.
In short
Our partner program for the people high-ticket US businesses already trust (planners, photographers, brokers, agents, web studios and software companies): refer a business and earn a fee when it becomes a client, add booking and answer-ready work to your offer, or sponsor our research. Paid in USD; terms on request.
Four tiers. One rule: be useful.
A partnership earns its place only if it helps a business get found, answered and booked.
Send us a business, earn a fee.
For planners, photographers, brokers, agents and past clients.
How it works
- You give
- An introduction to a business owner.
- You get
- A referral fee on the first paid project, set in the partner agreement, owed when the deposit clears. The business gets a free answer check first and a priority start date.
- Tracked by
- Your referral link or intro email.
Add booking and answer-ready work to your offer.
For web and design studios, freelancers and marketing consultants.
How it works
- You give
- A client who needs it, and your design if you like.
- You get
- The Answer & Book Kit, white-label or delivered alongside you, at a partner rate set in the agreement. Your client stays yours.
- Tracked by
- A partner code on the order.
Software we recommend.
For booking, CRM, scheduling and site platforms.
How it works
- You give
- A partner listing, sometimes a discount for our clients.
- You get
- A tool we implement well and recommend honestly. We only recommend tools we implement.
- Tracked by
- Your own affiliate link, disclosed next to it.
Sponsor the research.
For vendors who want to reach owners in our categories.
How it works
- You give
- A flat fee for one edition of our research or a guide.
- You get
- A clearly labelled “Sponsored by” credit on that edition only, and a section you can't edit.
- Tracked by
- A contract per edition. Editorial control stays ours, in writing.
Our customer data, a say over our findings, a guaranteed recommendation, or our name on their marketing without written approval.
The people owners already trust.
A referral from someone a business already trusts beats any cold email.

How we know it was yours.
Simple rules, written down before anyone is owed anything.
Your link or your intro
The rule
A personal referral link carries your code into our enquiry form and the booking. An intro email counts too.
We ask as well
The rule
Our contact form asks how they heard about us. When the answer and the link disagree, the answer wins.
90 days
The rule
The first touch that led to a conversation, within 90 days of the click or intro email. A direct intro beats a link click.
One fee, paid on time
The rule
One fee per client, never split, never paid twice. Paid within 30 days of the deposit clearing; reversed if the client is refunded.
A monthly note
The rule
Your referrals, their stage and the fee owed, by email each month. No portal to log into.
Every paid link, said out loud.
If money or a favor changes hands, you hear about it.
Read the detail
If money or a favor changes hands, the reader hears about it where the recommendation is, not in a footer.
Our disclosure rules
- We disclose every material connection next to the recommendation: a payment, commission, free product or service, discount, or a business or family relationship.
- Partners who promote us disclose too, in the same place as the recommendation, or #ad at the start of a social post, not buried in hashtags. A partner who doesn't is removed and not paid.
- We never write, buy or condition a review, never suppress one, and never buy followers or engagement.
- We show no testimonial until a real client gives one in writing. If they got a discount or free work, it says so.
“We earn a commission if you buy through this link. We only recommend tools we implement.”
“I'm paid a referral fee by New Creative Design.”
The sponsor's name, and a line saying they had no say over the findings.
The rules we follow
We follow the FTC's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255, revised 2023) and its rule on consumer reviews and testimonials (16 CFR Part 465, in effect since 21 October 2024).
