GHL Affiliate Programme: Earn 40% Commission

September 23, 2026•5 min read

Maybe you run an agency, manage a few GoHighLevel accounts, or create YouTube tutorials about GHL. Chances are, people often ask you which tools to use. If you answer for free, you’re missing out on potential earnings. The GHL affiliate program with Keep-Generating lets you earn 40% on every sale you refer, whether it’s a one-time product or a monthly retainer.

Here’s how the program works, what you can expect to earn, and how a GHL maintenance retainer fits in.

What Is the GHL Affiliate Program?

The program is a referral system within GoHighLevel’s affiliate manager. After you sign up, you get a unique link to share wherever your audience is—like YouTube descriptions, email newsletters, your website, or a pinned comment.

Whenever someone makes a purchase through your link, you earn 40% of that sale. There’s no approval wait and no limit to how many people you can refer. Whether you refer ten or ten thousand, you earn from each one.

How Commissions Actually Work

There are two types of commission. Knowing the difference helps if you want to build a steady income.

One-time commission means you earn 40% once, paid after the purchase is confirmed. This applies to items such as the A2P Snapshot Package, GHL add-ons, and video tutorials.

Recurring commission is where things get interesting. If you refer someone to a monthly service, such as a GHL CRM setup with a retainer, you earn 40% of that fee for as long as the client stays. For example, if five people sign up for a $500/month retainer, you earn a steady income as long as they remain clients.

Why the GHL Maintenance Retainer Matters for Affiliates

Many people overlook this part. A GHL maintenance retainer isn’t flashy. It’s ongoing support—keeping automations running, fixing workflows, and updating pipelines as a business grows. It’s the essential work that keeps things moving.

For affiliates, steady and necessary work is ideal. A client who buys a one-time tutorial pays you once, but a client with a maintenance retainer pays you every month they stay active, with no extra effort from you. If you make GHL videos, recommending ongoing support rather than just one-off tools can make the difference between a single commission and a steady monthly income.

For example, referring someone to a $297 one-time product earns you about $119 once. Referring someone to a $400/month retainer earns you $160 each month the client stays. Over a year, that’s about $1,920 compared to just $119. [placeholder: confirm actual retainer pricing]

Who Should Actually Join

You don’t have to be a GHL expert to succeed. You just need to know people who could benefit from it.

  • GHL users and agencies already inside the ecosystem, who can recommend Keep-Generating to their own clients

  • YouTubers and content creators making GHL tutorials, who can drop an affiliate link in every video description

  • Coaches and consultants who already recommend tools to their clients and can slot this into that conversation naturally

If any of these roles fit you, it’s easy to get started. Signup is free, and there’s no waiting for approval.

How to Get Started

  1. Join the affiliate program through the Keep-Generating affiliate page.

  2. Get your unique tracking link. You’ll get your unique tracking link immediately after signing up. The audience already trusts your recommendations.

  3. You’ll get paid 40% once your balance reaches the payout threshold.

That’s the entire process. There’s no complicated onboarding or unnecessary barriers.

A Quick Example

Imagine you have a small YouTube channel reviewing CRM tools. You mention Keep-Generating’s GHL setup service in a video and pin your affiliate link in the description. After a few months, three viewers sign up for the monthly retainer. You don’t have to do any extra work after the first referral, but now you’re earning 40% of three retainers every month, as long as those clients stay. Many content creators miss out on this passive income simply because they don’t share a link.
