How It Works

Three steps to passive income

Refer publishers and content creators to any Publisher in a Box service. When they sign up and start generating revenue, you earn — automatically, every month.

01

Refer a Client

Share your unique referral link or introduce us directly. We handle the sales conversation and onboarding from there.

02

They Sign Up

Your referral applies and gets matched to the right program — consulting, turnkey management, or syndication.

03

You Earn Passively

Collect passive income for as long as your referral is a PIB client. Commissions paid Net 30 after funds are received, no cap on earnings — you refer once, get paid forever.

FAQ

Common questions

Each affiliate receives a unique referral link and tracking dashboard. When someone applies through your link — or you introduce them directly — the referral is permanently attributed to you. We also accept email introductions and manual attribution. If you bring us a client, you get credit regardless of how the introduction happens.
Commissions are paid on a Net 30 basis — 30 days after the funds are received by PIB. Payouts are issued via bank transfer or PayPal. You'll have full visibility into earnings through your affiliate dashboard.
The minimum payout is $100. If your commissions for a given month are below $100, they roll over to the next month until the threshold is met. There's no expiration on accrued commissions.
Your referral tracking link stays active for 1 year from the date it's clicked. Once a client signs up within that window and is attributed to you, you earn passive income for as long as they remain a PIB client. This is true passive income: refer once, get paid every month. Applies to both consulting and turnkey programs.
For consulting referrals, you earn a percentage of the referred client's consulting revenue — the fees they pay PIB. For turnkey referrals, you earn a percentage of PIB's gross revenue from managing that client's assets. Since turnkey is a revenue-split model between PIB and the client, your commission is based on PIB's share.
Yes. When you hit a new referral tier, the higher commission rate applies to all your existing referrals — not just new ones. For example, if you have 3 referrals at 5% and then add a 4th, all four referrals immediately move to the 7.5% rate.
Absolutely. If you refer a client who signs up for both Facebook Consulting and Google Discover Turnkey, you earn commissions on both programs independently. Each service referral counts toward your tier thresholds within that program type (consulting or turnkey).
No. Anyone can apply to the affiliate program — you don't need to be a current or former PIB client. That said, existing clients often make the best affiliates because they can speak from firsthand experience about the results.
Approved affiliates receive a resource kit including custom referral links, landing page templates, email swipe copy, social media assets, and case study summaries you can share with potential referrals. We also provide one-on-one support to help you craft your referral strategy.
If a referral upgrades — from consulting Solopreneur to Enterprise, or from Tier 2 turnkey to Tier 1 — your passive income automatically increases to reflect their new, higher revenue. Your earnings grow as your referrals grow — without any extra work on your part.
