Partner Training

Read this before you share your first link. This page is the whole training. Five modules, one long page, nothing hidden behind a quiz wall. It covers what the program actually is, exactly what you may say, how to promote it well, how to disclose it correctly, and what happens if you break a rule. Read it once fully, then keep it open the first few times you write something.

Module 1. The Program In Plain English

Here is the whole thing, no spin.

You share a link. A real person subscribes to the $25/mo Blogging System through your link. We code that customer to you. You earn 30% on that customer’s purchases, for as long as they keep buying, for the rest of the relationship. That is it. That is the entire program.

It is single tier. One relationship: you and your customer. If your customer later becomes a partner and refers other people, you earn nothing on those referrals. Not less. Nothing. There is no downline, no team, no rank, no override. You are not building an organization. You are recommending a tool you use, to people who might want it, and getting paid when they buy it.

The coding is permanent. Once your customer is coded to you, no other partner can take them from you with a later click. If they cancel and come back next year, you still earn. If they upgrade to a course later, you still earn. That is the “lifetime” part, and it is genuinely good for you.

Now the part that matters most: what is banned, and why.

No income claims. No “team.” No “opportunity.” No pressure to buy anything. These are not arbitrary rules we made up to slow you down. They are the exact rules that keep this program legal, keep it off every regulator’s watch list, and keep it running long enough for your lifetime coding to actually pay out for years. A program that lets partners make income claims gets shut down. A program that pays people for recruiting becomes a pyramid and gets shut down. Follow the rules and the program survives to pay you. That is the whole logic, and it is not complicated.

One more thing, plainly: this is not an income opportunity. It is a blogging tool with a referral program attached. Never describe it as anything bigger than that, to anyone, including yourself.

Module 2. The Only Claims You May Make

This module is short on purpose. Read it twice.

What you may say (approved, illustrative)

“I write on Empower Network because I can export everything and move to my own domain later. Here’s my honest walkthrough of the editor. Disclosure: if you subscribe through my link I earn a commission.”

“Comparison: Empower Network vs [platform]. What each one does with your email list and your data. I’m an EN partner, so read this knowing I have a bias, and go check them yourself.”

Notice what both of those have in common. They talk about the product. They disclose plainly. They say nothing about money you might make. That is the pattern. Copy it.

What you may never say (banned, with the actual reason)

– No earnings claims or income figures. Not yours, not “typical,” not “possible.” Why: implying earnings is the exact exposure this company’s history created, and it is a false-advertising risk even when the number is true for you personally.

– No “get rich,” “quit your job,” or “financial freedom” framing. Why: it turns a blogging tool into an income scheme in the reader’s mind, and that is not what this is.

– No “team,” “downline,” or “recruiting” language. Why: there is no downline. This is single tier. That language tells a reader something false about the structure and invites exactly the pyramid perception we are built to avoid.

– No “buy to earn” or “must purchase to qualify” language. Why: it is false. Joining is free. Earning is free. Saying otherwise is also a business-opportunity trigger under the law.

– No fake scarcity or “founding position” urgency about becoming a partner. Why: that is the opportunity pitch wearing a different hat.

– No cashback or rebate bribes to buyers. Why: paying someone to sign up through your link is incentivized-signup fraud, and it wrecks the very retention data that keeps this program healthy.

– No guarantees of ranking, traffic, or results. Why: nobody can promise that, and promising it here creates the same search-manipulation exposure we refuse everywhere else on this platform.

If a sentence you are about to publish would not survive being read by a lawyer, a regulator, and your own mother, do not publish it. Stick to the approved examples above and the swipe in the Asset Library and you will never have a problem.

Module 3. How To Actually Promote

Five channels work for this product, in order of what actually converts. None of them require you to say anything about money.

1. Your own blog is the strongest proof you have

Run your own Empower Network blog. Write on it publicly. The single best thing you can do as a partner is use the product in front of people and let the work speak. A reader who sees you actually publishing, actually building a list, actually exporting a post to prove you can, believes you more than any pitch ever will.

2. Honest reviews

Write a real review. Real pros, real cons, who it is a fit for and who it is not. A blog for $25/mo with your list and content fully exportable, native email tools built in, and a $199 path to move to your own domain later with your redirects kept working. Say what you like. Say what you would change. A one-sided pitch reads as fake; an honest review reads as true, and true is what converts.

3. Comparison content

Write EN against the alternatives your readers already know: Substack, Ghost, beehiiv. Compare fairly. The real, honest differences worth naming: you own your list and can export it any time, email sending is native and included rather than a separate tool you have to wire up, and there is a built-in path to graduate to your own domain later without losing your old links. State plainly that you are a partner and that you are biased, and tell people to go check the alternatives themselves. That honesty is the whole credibility of a comparison post.

4. Tutorials and how-to content

Teach something real: how to start a blog you actually own, how to build an email list from day one, how the AI drafting tool speeds up your first post, how export works if you ever want to leave. Teaching is promoting. A useful tutorial with your disclosed link at the bottom outperforms a sales pitch every time.

5. Email to your own list

If you already have an audience, tell them plainly what you use and why, with your disclosure included. Do not manufacture urgency. Do not promise anything about money. Just tell the truth about the tool and let people decide.

Module 4. Disclosure Done Right

The rule is simple: the reader must see, before they reach your link, that you earn a commission if they subscribe. Not buried in a footer. Not in tiny gray text. Plain and visible.

On a blog post

Put a line like this near the top, before the first partner link, and again if the post is long:

“Disclosure: I’m an Empower Network partner. If you subscribe through the links in this post, I earn a commission at no extra cost to you.”

Every partner link in the post should also carry rel="sponsored". If you use our review-page template from the Asset Library, this is already built in.

On social media

Short version, right in the post itself, not just a hashtag lost at the end:

“(Partner link, disclosure: I earn a commission if you sign up through it.)”

For video, say the disclosure out loud near the start, and show it on screen for the length of the video, not just a flash frame.

In an email to your list

One clean sentence before the link:

“Quick note before the link: I’m an EN partner, and if you subscribe through it I earn a commission. Full honesty, no pressure either way.”

That is the whole standard: clear, before the click, in words a reader cannot miss. If you are ever unsure whether a disclosure is visible enough, make it more visible, not less.

Module 5. What Happens If You Break The Rules

Plainly, so there is no ambiguity:

1. Any commission tied to a rule violation, an income claim, a missing disclosure, or fraud, is forfeited. That money does not get paid, ever.

2. Serious or repeated violations end the partnership immediately. Fraud, an income claim, or a compliance violation are all grounds for immediate termination, no warning required.

3. If your partnership ends in good standing, any commission you have already earned and cleared is still paid to you. If it ends because of fraud or a violation, the commission tied to that activity is not.

4. If your partnership ends for any reason, your coded customers become house accounts. They are not handed to another partner, and they are not something you can sell, transfer, or pass on. The customer relationship was never yours to trade; it was yours to earn from honestly, one payment at a time.

None of this is designed to catch you out. It is designed so that the program is still standing, and still paying, years from now. Promote honestly, disclose clearly, never mention what someone might earn, and none of this module will ever apply to you.
