Invitation only. The SurfStats Studio Recruiter Program is not open to public applications. Selected recruiters receive a personal invitation by email.
SurfStats Studio Recruiter Program

Introduce qualified partners and customers. Earn on eligible subscription revenue.

Approved Partner Recruiters earn 10% of the commission earned by Affiliates they introduce to SurfStats, for 24 months from that Affiliate's approval date. Credit-pack and top-up purchases are non-commissionable.

Invitation only Referral / Promo Kit Compare partner paths Ask a question
Participation is invitation-only. Commission eligibility begins only after an invitation is accepted and depends on valid attribution, an eligible paid subscription transaction, and the applicable recruiter/campaign terms.
Current base structure
10%
Affiliate-commission override
This is 10% of the Affiliate's earned commission, not 10% of the customer sale. Standard term: 24 months.
Credit packs / top-ups
Not commissionable under the standard recruiter structure.
0%
Example: if an Affiliate earns 20% on a $100 subscription, the Affiliate receives $20 and a 10% Partner Recruiter override is $2.
Recruiter vs affiliate

Choose the program that matches how you actually work.

Recruiters are relationship-led introducers. Affiliates are usually publishers or promoters with an audience and tracked content/referral links.

Recruiter

Best when you make warm introductions, recruit qualified partners, or connect SurfStats to agencies, creator businesses, educators or professional networks.

Standard override: 10% of Affiliate commission for 24 months

Affiliate

Best when you publish tutorials, reviews, newsletters, community recommendations or other audience-facing content and refer users with approved affiliate links.

How it works

From introduction to reconciled commission

The recruiter program is intended for genuine, relevant introductions—not mass promotion, paid advertising or spam.

1

Receive an invitation

SurfStats invites selected relationship-led partners who can make relevant introductions responsibly.

2

Accept with the invited email

Sign in with the email address that received the invitation and accept it. There is no public application route.

3

Receive the approved referral structure

Use the recruiter code, campaign or tracked link supplied for the approved relationship. Do not invent tracking codes.

4

Make a relevant introduction

Send the prospect to the SurfStats page or workflow that best matches what they actually want to create.

5

Disclose the relationship

When promoting publicly, clearly disclose that you may earn recruiter commission from eligible referred business.

6

Eligible customer subscribes

When an Affiliate you recruited generates eligible monthly or yearly subscription commission, your override is calculated from that Affiliate commission.

7

SurfStats reconciles the payment

Referral data and FastSpring-backed payment events are reconciled before commission is treated as eligible.

8

Commission is finalized

Refunds, chargebacks, fraud, self-referrals or other ineligible transactions can reduce or reverse commission under the applicable terms.

Who SurfStats may invite

A good recruiter has relevant relationships, not just reach.

Creator-network builders

You know creators, editors, educators, creator businesses or communities that need a broader AI creative workflow.

Relationship-led sales connectors

You make warm, relevant introductions to agencies, teams or professionals rather than sending untargeted traffic.

Partner recruiters

You can identify and introduce qualified affiliates, educators or creators who may become productive SurfStats partners.

Agency-network connectors

You work around agencies, freelancers or small businesses and can introduce SurfStats where the product genuinely fits.

What makes a strong program fit?

  • Who you can introduce and why SurfStats is relevant to them.
  • Your relationship to the people, teams or communities you plan to approach.
  • How you intend to make introductions or recruit partners.
  • Your website, professional profile, community or other useful context where applicable.
  • A willingness to follow the recruiter promotion and disclosure policy.
There is no guaranteed acceptance, income, volume, payout amount or payout date. Approval and commission depend on the applicable recruiter/campaign terms and eligible transactions.
Recruiter toolkit

Use concrete SurfStats proof when making introductions.

A good introduction should show the prospect the workflow that matches their needs—not make broad promises about AI.

Referral / Promo Kit

Approved recruiters can use the SurfStats promo tooling to build tracked recruiter links and audience-specific landing-page routes.

Promotion policy

Relationship-led, transparent and non-misleading.

Recruiters should make relevant introductions and describe SurfStats accurately. Invited participants must follow this policy.

Allowed
Warm introductions, outreach to existing relationships, professional-network referrals, creator/agency introductions, organic content, social posts, email to appropriate existing contacts and word-of-mouth recommendations.
No paid advertising
Do not run Google Ads, paid search, paid social, display, native, retargeting or other performance advertising unless SurfStats gives written authorization.
No spam or misrepresentation
No scraped lists, automated spam, impersonation, fake testimonials, invented discounts/coupons, unsupported performance claims or statements that you are an employee/agent of SurfStats when you are an independent recruiter.

Disclosure example

For public or promotional introductions, use plain disclosure language near the referral link or recommendation. For example:

“I may earn recruiter commission if this introduction results in an eligible SurfStats Studio subscription, at no extra cost to you.”

Do not promise

  • Guaranteed earnings or guaranteed approval.
  • That every subscription or every payment earns commission.
  • Commission on credit packs or top-ups.
  • Unauthorized discounts, coupons or special offers.
  • A final payout before the transaction has been reconciled.
  • Business, revenue, creative or audience results that SurfStats has not substantiated.
Attribution & commission

What determines whether a recruited relationship earns commission?

Approved recruiter/campaign
The relationship must be associated with an approved commission-bearing recruiter or referral campaign.
Eligible subscription revenue
Eligible subscription revenue can be commissionable. Credit packs and top-ups are 0% under the standard structure.
Valid attribution
The transaction must be attributable to the approved recruiter relationship under the applicable campaign/tracking rules.
Successful payment reconciliation
SurfStats reconciles referral data with FastSpring-backed payment events before treating commission as eligible.
No disqualifying reversal
Refunds, chargebacks, fraud, duplicate/self-referrals and other ineligible transactions can reduce or cancel commission.

Recruiter override

The standard recruiter override is currently 10% of the Affiliate's earned commission for 24 months. It is not 10% of the customer sale.

The applicable approved campaign terms win
If a campaign specifies a recruiter override or cap, that campaign-specific rule controls the eligible commission for transactions attributed to that campaign.

SurfStats should not treat a commission as final until the underlying transaction has been reconciled and any applicable reversal/refund conditions have been considered.

FAQ

Recruiter questions

Eligible subscription revenue attributed to an approved recruiter relationship or campaign can earn recruiter commission. Credit packs and top-ups earn 0% under the standard structure.

The current configured public base is 10%. Approved campaign terms may define a different monthly or yearly recruiter override, so the campaign/program terms are the final source for a particular referral.

Recruiters primarily make relationship-led introductions or recruit qualified partners. Affiliates typically promote SurfStats to an audience through approved content and tracked affiliate links. Invitation access is granted to the program that matches how the relationship works.

Yes, where that relationship fits your approved recruiter arrangement. The recruited person or organization may still need separate approval for any commission-bearing Affiliate or Recruiter program they want to join.

Not under the standard recruiter policy. Paid search, paid social, display, native and other performance advertising require written SurfStats authorization.

Refunded, reversed, charged-back, fraudulent or otherwise ineligible transactions can reduce or cancel the related recruiter commission under the applicable terms.

After approval, use the approved recruiter/campaign tracking structure supplied for your relationship. Logged-in approved recruiters can use SurfStats' promo tooling to build targeted links where applicable.

No. The standard recruiter program is an independent, commission-based partner opportunity. It does not create a salary, employment relationship or guaranteed level of work.
