Three steps to your first payout
Apply & get approved
Tell us about your audience. We review every application by hand, usually within 1–2 business days.

The tier ladder
Your rate grows as you do
Playbook commission climbs automatically with your cleared lifetime revenue. No re-applying, no negotiating — clear the threshold and the higher rate applies to every future sale.
Day one
Seed
35%
Where everyone starts. A strong entry rate from your very first sale.
10% audience discount
$5K cleared
Bloom
40%
You're proving the channel works. The rate steps up automatically.
10% audience discount
$15K cleared
Harvest
45%
Serious money. You also unlock a 15% discount to offer your audience — a bigger lever to convert.
15% audience discount
$50K cleared
Legend
50%locked forever
50% locked forever, a $1,000 bonus every quarter you clear $10K, and first access to every new app. See below.
15% audience discount
Tiers are based on cleared lifetime revenue you've driven. Everyone starts at Seed. Each tier also unlocks a discount you can offer your audience — 10%, then 15% from Harvest up.
The top tier
Once you hit Legend, your 50% is locked forever.
Clear $50,000 in lifetime revenue and you reach Legend — the highest rate we offer. From that moment your 50% rate never drops, no matter what. It's yours for good. And Legend keeps paying you to stay:
50% locked for life
Your rate is permanent — it can only ever go up to here, never back down.
$1,000 every quarter
Clear $10,000 in a quarter and bank a flat $1,000 cash bonus — every quarter you keep producing.
First access to new apps
Promote every new gardenpatch app the day we launch it — before anyone else gets the link.
Featured-partner status
We put our weight behind you — featured placement, co-marketing, and a direct line to the team.
Recurring revenue
Petunia pays you month after month
Refer a Petunia subscriber and earn 30% recurring for the first 12 months they stay subscribed — then 15% for life while their account stays active and paid. One great referral can pay you for years.
30% for 12 months → 15% lifetime
Paid every month the subscription renews.
First-sale bounty
A jumpstart on day one
On your first 2 Petunia referrals you also earn a 100%-of-first-month bounty — up to $299 each — on top of the recurring commission. It vests after 60 days so we both win when the customer sticks.
Up to $299 bounty per first referral
Vests after 60 days. First 2 referrals only.
Milestone bonuses
Cash rewards for hitting your numbers
On top of commission, you bank a one-time cash bonus each time your cleared lifetime revenue crosses a milestone.
$250
$5K milestone
Paid once you clear $5,000 in lifetime revenue driven.
$750
$10K milestone
Paid once you clear $10,000 in lifetime revenue driven.
$2,000
$25K milestone

Built for partners like you
Creators, writers, and operators earn here
The program is built for three kinds of partner. Below are illustrative first-year scenarios — modeled on our real rates, not customer testimonials — so you can see how the math plays out for each.
Short-form creator
10 playbook sales/mo + 3 Petunia referrals/mo
$45K–$70K
illustrative year 1
Link-in-bio drives playbook volume; Petunia referrals stack into recurring revenue all year.
Newsletter writer
4 bundle sales/mo + 2 Petunia referrals/mo
$60K–$95K
illustrative year 1
A trusted recommendation to an engaged list converts high-ticket bundles and lands recurring software.
Operator / consultant
3 bundle sales/mo + 5 Petunia referrals/mo + referred creators
$70K–$120K
illustrative year 1
Fewer sales, deeper deals — Petunia referrals and creators you bring compound into the biggest recurring base.
Example scenarios for illustration only — not guarantees and not real-partner results. Your earnings depend on your audience, effort, and customer retention.
Refer a creator
Don't want to make content? Bring other creators instead.
Some of our best partners barely post — they grow by inviting other creators. You earn on every one you bring, for a full year, with no ceiling.
$100
Finder bonus
Paid the moment a creator you brought clears their first $500.
5%
Of everything they earn
For a full 12 months after they join — on every sale they make.
Unlimited
Creators you can bring
No cap on how many you refer. Each one stacks on top of the last.
Not MLM — and we mean it. It's single-level only: you earn on creators you personally bring, never on a downline beneath them. The override is paid by gardenpatch, never taken out of the creator's cut — they keep 100% of their own rate. No recruitment fees, no buy-in, no chains. Just a finder's fee and a one-year thank-you for growing the program.
Real-time partner portal
Every click, sale, and dollar of commission, live. Grab your links and discount codes, watch your tier progress, and see exactly what's pending versus payable — no guessing, no monthly spreadsheet email.
Paid weekly, automatically
Connect your Stripe account once and get paid directly. The payout job runs continuously, so cleared commission goes out weekly — $50 minimum, no invoices to chase. The 30-day refund window is just a safety hold before commission clears, not a payout delay.
Who it's for
Built for the way you actually share
Creators & TikTok
Drive your audience to a link-in-bio and speak a unique discount code in-video. We built a full creator kit for the way short-form actually works.
See the creator kitNewsletters & communities
Recommend the playbooks and software to an audience that already trusts you. One link, recurring revenue, clean tracking.
People you know
No big following required. If you know operators and founders who need this, your personal referral converts better than any ad.
FAQ
Questions, answered
How much can I earn?+
Playbook commission starts at 35% and climbs to 50% — and once you reach Legend ($50,000 cleared) that 50% is locked forever, plus a $1,000 bonus every quarter you clear $10,000. Petunia software pays 30% recurring for 12 months then 15% for life, plus a first-month bounty up to $299 on your first 2 referrals. You can also earn $100 + 5% for a year on every creator you refer.
When do I get paid?+
You're paid weekly, automatically — the payout job runs continuously, so cleared commission goes out via Stripe Connect as soon as your balance is over $50. Each commission clears after a 30-day refund-safety window; that window is a safety hold, not a payout delay.
Do I need a big audience?+
No minimum follower count. We review every application by hand and weight fit and authenticity over raw size. Plenty of partners do great with a small, engaged audience or a personal network.
What do I get to share?+
A unique referral link and a personal discount code, both tracked back to you. They work across the playbooks ($799 each, $2,999 for the Complete Bundle) and the gardenpatch software suite, including Petunia. Your code gives your audience 10% off, rising to 15% once you reach Harvest.
Is refer-a-creator an MLM?+
No. It's single-level only — you earn on creators you personally bring, never on a downline beneath them. The $100 finder bonus and 5% override are paid by gardenpatch, never out of the referred creator's cut. No buy-in, no recruitment fees, no chains.
What are the rules?+
Be honest, disclose with #ad per FTC guidelines, and don't game the system (no self-referral, cookie stuffing, brand-term bidding, or coupon-aggregator posting). The full terms are in the Affiliate Agreement.
