The Build Studio: Refer

Bring someone. Earn.

You do not need to know how to build anything.

You only need to know one person who needs something built. A cousin with a business, a group chat full of founders, a boss who keeps saying we need an app. Point them at us, and money follows you. Two ways to do it.

Mode one

Referrer

20 percent. Yours.

Tell people about us. Send them with your name on the form, or with your link: ceoism.com/studio?ref=yourname. When they pay, 20 percent of what they pay is yours. Even on name-your-price deals. Paid when the client pays, no minimums, no cap.

Send one person a year or ten a week. Every one counts.

Mode two

Dealer

The spread. Yours.

You own the client. You set your own price with them, they pay you directly, and you bring the build to us at our prices, or name yours. We build behind you, and if you want us invisible, we stay invisible. The difference between their price and ours is entirely yours.

This is how agencies are born. You are allowed to become one.

The pros

What this puts in your pocket.

EXAMPLE: CLIENT PAYS $500$400 funds the buildYOURS$100

Example of the math, not a past deal. 20 percent, every deal, forever.

A real earning medium, zero skill required

You never touch the build, never write a line of code, never design a thing. Your entire job is knowing one person who needs something made. That is now a paying position.

20 percent, forever-simple math

Example of the math: a client pays $500, you keep $100. It applies to every deal you send, including name-your-price deals, paid the moment their money clears.

No cap, no minimum

Send one person a year or ten a week. There is no quota to hit before you earn and no ceiling where we stop paying. Every deal counts, at any size.

You can start tonight

No onboarding course, no contract to print. Claim a ref word below, send one message to one person who needs something built, and your first deal is in motion.

Dealer math, also an example: you agree $900 with your client for a build we price at $500. They pay you, you pay us, and the $400 spread is entirely yours. Your client, your price, your margin.

The machine is real

You are selling something that already exists.

Plain words

How this actually works right now.

This is run by 2 humans. There is no dashboard, no cookie tracking, no affiliate software. Tracking is a name on a form: your person writes your name or ref word when they reach out, and that is how we know the deal is yours. We settle person to person, when the client pays.

Simple systems have edges, so here is our rule for the edges: if a deal ever feels unfair, we would rather overpay you than shortchange you. That is not a slogan, it is how we intend to be known.

Referrals apply to the 100 services and the app packages. They do not apply to the Young Founders program, and never to CEOism itself. Becoming a CEO is free and can never be sold.

Honest questions

How do I actually get paid?
When the client you sent pays us, 20 percent of what they paid is yours. We settle person to person, the moment their money clears, by whatever method works for you. No minimums, no cap, and it applies even on name-your-price deals.
Do I need any technical skills?
None. You never touch the build. Your whole job is knowing one person who needs something made and pointing them at us with your name attached. We do everything else.
As a dealer, can I really charge my client any price?
Yes. The client is yours, the relationship is yours, and the price you agree with them is yours. You pay us our price (or name yours), we build behind you, and if you want us invisible, we stay invisible.
What can I refer, and what can I not?
Anything in the 100 services and any of the app packages. Two things are off the table: the Young Founders program, and CEOism itself. Becoming a CEO is free and can never be sold.
