There’s no limit to how much you can earn every month! Here’s a forecast to give you a sense:

| Month 12 | $720 Earned | $1440 Earned | $2160 Earned | $2880 Earned | $7200 Earned |
Let’s say you’ve referred 100 people… you’ll be earning $600/month, and by month 6 will have earned $3,600 in passive income.
Your referral link
You can easily grab your referral link from the Referrals Tab (www.pillar.io/referrals).
All links are structured as “pillar.io/referral/username,” so if your Pillar Store is pillar.io/justliketrevor, your referral link would be pillar.io/referral/justliketrevor
Receiving referral commissions
- When someone signs up for Pillar through your referral link, you will gain a new active referral. Once your referral finishes their 14-day free trial & converts into a paying Pillar subscriber, you will be paid.
- Your 20% commission will be paid out to your Pillar wallet/balance when a referral pays their monthly fee to Pillar! If you’ve got your Stripe connected, it will be paid out to your bank account regularly – every 48 hours.
- In other words, as soon as Pillar receives the monthly membership fee payment, you will receive your referral commission. 🎉
Pillar Ambassador Program
- Pillar Ambassadors are our select group of VIP creators who embody our values & share our mission to improve the lives of other creators.
- Ambassadors love to rep Pillar on their socials and drive referrals. They get to earn DOUBLE the normal commission (40% profit-share vs. standard 20% profit-share) for each referral they drive, every single month!
- The ambassador program is currently an application based, invite-only program, and comes with a slew of benefits, such as the ones detailed in the link below:
- If you would like to apply, just start referring Pillar. Once you have 5 active referrals, we will reach out with a form for you to apply. You can also email hi@pillar.io once you have enough active referrals.
