Build More Than Your Own Directory
Help others start their own business directory and earn a 50% commission — every year they stay.
When you own a Business Directory through Christians in Business, you don't have to stop with the income generated by your own directory.
You can also introduce other entrepreneurs, organizations, and community leaders to the opportunity to own their own Business Directory.
The commission is residual: 50% of their first purchase, then 50% of every annual renewal for as long as they keep their directory.
You must own an active Christians in Business directory before you can participate in the Referral Partner Program.
A Simple Referral Program
Own a Directory
You must first become an active Christians in Business Owner.
- Build and operate your own directory.
- Experience the platform.
- Learn the business model.
Refer Another Owner
Know someone who could build a City, Community, Professional, Industry, Tourism, Restaurant, Construction, Real Estate, School, Nonprofit, Association — or another niche directory?
Introduce them to Christians in Business using your Referral Partner link.
Earn 50% Every Year
When your personally referred prospect purchases an eligible $997 City Directory:
You earn $498.50
And 50% again every year they renew — for as long as they keep their directory.
Every eligible referral earns you $498.50 now — and 50% of every renewal after.
You're Not Selling Something You've Never Used.
The strongest person to introduce someone to Business Directory ownership is someone who already owns one. As a Directory Owner, you can speak from experience.
"I own one myself."
That's much more powerful than promoting an opportunity you've never experienced.
This Program Is Exclusive To Directory Owners.
Eligible to apply for the Referral Partner Program, subject to program terms.
You must first purchase and activate your own Christians in Business directory. Then you may become eligible to participate in the Referral Partner Program.
Become a Directory OwnerWe want Referral Partners who understand the product because they actually own and operate a directory themselves.
50% Commission Every Year They Stay
When an eligible person you personally refer purchases a $997 City Directory, you can receive $498.50 — and 50% of every annual renewal they make for as long as they keep it. You are only ever paid on money we have actually collected.
Build Your Referral Income
Each personally referred Directory Owner who completes an eligible purchase earns you a 50% commission — in year one and in every renewal year after.
These are mathematical examples only and are not guarantees of income. Actual commissions depend on qualified referrals, completed purchases, refunds, chargebacks, continued eligibility, and current program terms.

Two Streams Of Income: Your Listings + Your Referrals
Your Own Directory
Directory Owners can generate income from the businesses or organizations listed in their own directory. Owners receive the listing revenue from their own directory according to their Owner Agreement.

Build your own business. Then help someone else build theirs.
Who Do You Know Who Could Build A Directory?
Your job is not to convince everyone. Your job is to identify people who might be a good fit and introduce them to the opportunity.

Log into your Directory Owner Dashboard.
Open Referral Partner.
Copy your personal referral link.
Share the opportunity with a qualified prospective Directory Owner.
If they complete an eligible purchase through your properly tracked referral, the commission is attributed to you according to program rules.
