    What Am I Required to Do as an Affiliate?

    There are no posting requirements to earn referral commissions or bonuses. You can refer potential surrogates in any way that feels natural to you. That said, affiliates who actively share about surrogacy tend to receive more referrals over time.

    1. Refer Potential Surrogates

      You may refer women through personal conversations, text, email, or by sharing Surrogate Steps within your community. As long as the referral is properly tracked, you’ll receive credit.

    2. Apply to the Affiliate Program (Strongly Encouraged)

      Applying is not required to make a referral, but it is highly recommended. After applying, you’ll receive a dedicated referral link to ensure your referrals are tracked correctly and you receive full credit and compensation.

    3. Post on Social Media (Strongly Encouraged)

      Posting at least twice per week is not required, but it is encouraged. Social posting increases visibility, often leads to more referrals, and is required only if you’d like to participate in raffles and giveaways.
