Referral Contest | Doulas Doing Business 2026

The Referral Contest

Share the summit. Get people registered. Earn cash on top of your usual commission.

August 20  to  September 8, 2026

How it works

Three steps, and the first one takes about five minutes.

1

Get your link

Register as an affiliate and grab your free registration link. That link is what connects every signup back to you.

2

Share it

Email your list, post it, put it in your stories. Use the swipe copy or write your own. Every free registration through your link counts.

3

Climb the board

Watch the leaderboard as your referrals come in. Hit a milestone and the bonus is yours, wherever you place.

Opting in

Being an affiliate does not enter you in the contest. You have to opt in, and you can do it any time while the contest is running. Your 30% commission applies either way. This is the extra layer on top.

Opt in to the contest

Get your link

Affiliate accounts are set up per product, so register on all four. That is how you get paid no matter which one someone buys. Skip one and you earn nothing on it, and it cannot be corrected after a sale.

Share the free link. Never share Early Action.

Only free registrations count toward the contest, so your free link is the one to share anyway. It also earns your commission if that person buys a pass later. One link, both jobs.

Never share your Early Action link. That $37 price is built to appear for 20 minutes after someone registers, and only for them. The link itself has no timer. Anyone who gets hold of it can pay $37 whenever they like, which means nobody has a reason to pay $67 or $97, and the offer stops working for everyone.

Grab your swipe copy

Emails, social posts, stories, and DM scripts, all written and ready. Rewrite any of it so it sounds like you. A personal line will always beat a polished one.

The prizes

Two ways to win, and you can win both.

Milestone bonuses

You are competing against a number, not against other people. Everyone who reaches a tier earns it, wherever they place. You are paid once, at the highest tier you finish on. Finishing with 60 referrals earns $150. Finishing with 100 earns $300.

100$300Platinum

Top 5

The five highest referrers share a fixed pool.

PlacePrize
1st$500
2nd$300
3rd$200
4th$150
5th$100

To collect a top-5 prize, at least one of your referrals has to convert to a paid All-Access Pass. Anyone genuinely in the top five will clear this without thinking about it. It exists so the largest prizes cannot be won on registrations alone. Milestone bonuses have no paid-sale requirement.

Live leaderboard

Updated as referrals come in. Your own running count comes to you by email, so you always know how close you are to the next milestone.

The rules

Short, and worth reading before you start.

  • A referral is a free summit registration made through your link. If someone registers without going through your link first, there is no record connecting them to you, and I cannot add that credit afterward.
  • One email address counts once. If someone registers twice, it is still one referral.
  • First touch wins. If two affiliates share links with the same person, whoever they came through first keeps the credit permanently. It does not transfer.
  • No self-referrals. Your own address, and addresses you control, do not count.
  • Bounced, undeliverable, and disposable addresses do not count. Neither do duplicate registrations by the same person under different addresses.
  • Only real registrations count. I review referrals before prizes are paid, and I remove anything that is clearly being gamed. Where a call has to be made, I make it, and my decision is final.
  • Prizes are paid after the summit, once numbers are final, alongside affiliate commission, by October 1, 2026.

One date to keep straight: the contest closes September 8, but your 30% commission keeps running on All-Access Pass sales through September 16. Prize credit and commission stop on different days.

Questions

How do I get my referral link?
Register as a DDB affiliate using the button on this page. ThriveCart creates your personal link for the free summit. Use that one link everywhere you promote.
What counts as a referral?
Anyone who registers free for the summit through your link, using an email I have not seen before. One email counts once, and it is credited to whoever referred that person first.
Do I see everyone's exact numbers?
No. The public board shows your rank and your tier badge, not raw counts, so you always know where you stand without a numbers war. Your own exact count comes in your weekly standings email.
Can I refer myself?
No. Registering with your own email does not count, and self-referrals are removed before prizes are awarded.
Does my link also earn me commission?
Yes. The same link credits you for the free registration, and if that person later buys the paid upgrade, you earn your normal affiliate commission on that sale.
How and when do I get paid?
Milestone bonuses and top-five prizes are paid after the summit wraps and registrations are final, by October 1, 2026. I will email you to arrange payment.
When does the contest end?
Registrations count through the end of the contest window shown at the top of this page. Anything after that does not count toward prizes.
