Questions & Answers
How much can I realistically earn?
You earn $200 upfront for each Artisan referral and $500 for each Grand Reserve referral, plus 20% of their monthly subscription for as long as they remain a client. Five Grand Reserve referrals means $2,500 upfront + $649/mo recurring.
When and how do I get paid?
Payouts are processed monthly via direct deposit or PayPal. You'll have a real-time dashboard to track all referrals and earnings.
Is there a cap on earnings?
No cap. The more restaurants you bring in, the more you earn. There is no ceiling on referrals or commissions.
Do I need a large following to join?
Not at all. We value authentic connections over follower counts. If you regularly dine at restaurants and share your experiences, you're a great fit.
What happens if a restaurant cancels?
Your recurring commission stops when they cancel. However, our 98% retention rate means most partnerships last for years.
Is there a cost to join?
Zero. The Ember Collective is completely free to join. We invest in you because your success is our success.
