Affiliate Program

A Greater Town Media turns local business owners into professionally produced media — a video interview, a podcast episode, a feature article on a DA 60 website, and three weeks of branded social content. Business owners love it because it works. You can earn a commission every time you send one our way.

$99.80 per sale. 90-day cookie. Paid out in 15–30 days.

How It Works

Step 1 — Sign up. Tell us a little about you and your audience. Once you're approved, you'll get a unique tracking link and a small kit of swipe copy, sample social posts, and talking points.

Step 2 — Share your link. Post it, email it, mention it in a meeting, or drop it into a proposal. Anyone who clicks your link is tagged to you for 90 days.

Step 3 — Get paid. When someone you referred buys our Small Business Talks package ($499), you earn 20% — $99.80 per sale. Payouts go out every 15–30 days via PayPal or check once your balance hits $100.

The Math

Our flagship package, Small Business Talks, sells for $499. Your commission is 20%, which works out to $99.80 per sale.

Who This Is For

The Affiliate Program is built for people who already talk to small business owners every day. If that's you, this is a natural fit:

Local SEO agencies looking to add a high-authority backlink play to their client conversations

Marketing consultants and freelancers who want a done-for-you content offer they can recommend without taking on the work

Vendors to local businesses — printers, web designers, photographers, IT providers, bookkeepers, insurance agents — anyone whose clients are the exact businesses we serve

Business coaches who want to put their clients on a bigger stage

Chamber of Commerce members, BNI groups, and networking organizers whose whole day is connecting local owners to resources

Past clients who've been through Small Business Talks themselves and want to send their friends

If your people are Main Street business owners, we've built a product they'll thank you for recommending.

Why It's Easy to Recommend

This isn't a sponsored post, a cheap ad package, or a generic "marketing service." It's real editorial media — an honest conversation, professionally produced, and published on a platform that's been around since 2006.

Real journalism, not an ad. Feature articles are written with the same care as any editorial piece.

Permanent SEO value. Content lives on agreatertown.com, a DA 60 website with 13,000+ ranking keywords.

Proven results. One client, Dawn Home Care, went from page 3 to page 1 on Google in three weeks.

One interview, everywhere. Clients get a YouTube video, a podcast episode on Apple/Spotify/Amazon, a feature article, 15 branded social posts, YouTube Shorts, a TikTok, and a directory listing.

Only 30 minutes of their time. We do the rest.

You're not asking your contacts to gamble on something unproven. You're handing them a package that a lot of business owners quietly wish they had the time and skill to build themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I track my referrals? You'll get a dashboard where you can see clicks, conversions, pending commissions, and paid commissions in real time.

What counts as a qualified sale? Any completed purchase of the Small Business Talks package made through your link, within 90 days of the click, where the buyer isn't requesting a refund. Refunded sales are deducted from your balance.

Can I run paid ads on your brand name? No. Please don't bid on "A Greater Town," "Small Business Talks," or variations in Google Ads, Meta Ads, or any other paid channel. It competes with our own marketing and is grounds for removal from the program.

Can I refer myself or my own business? No self-referrals. If you want the package for your own business, just buy it at the regular price — we'd love to have you.

What if I want to buy in bulk and give Small Business Talks to my own clients? That's not what the Affiliate Program is for. If you want to purchase multiple packages at a discount and distribute them to your clients, take a look at our Partner Program instead — it's built exactly for that.

How do I get paid? PayPal or check, your choice. Once your balance hits $100, we send your payout on the next cycle (every 15–30 days).

Is there a cost to join? No. The Affiliate Program is free to join.

How long does the cookie last? 90 days from the click. If someone clicks your link today and buys 85 days from now, you still get credit.
