Launch a GHL Member Referral Program to Grow Your Community

GoKollab now includes a built-in member referral system called Community Affiliates. It’s designed for anyone running a paid community who wants to grow without adding extra tools or complex workflows.

• Paid members automatically get a unique referral link
• When someone joins and pays through that link, the member earns a commission
• You get to set the commission amount based on what makes sense for your business
• You’re in full control of payouts and tracking

This isn’t just a bonus feature. It’s a full upgrade for anyone who wants to make word-of-mouth growth easier, faster, and more rewarding.

The GHL member referral program is now built right into GoKollab. Before this, you had to rely on outside tools or spreadsheets to track referrals and pay your members. That’s no longer the case.Now, every paid member gets their own invite link. When someone joins and becomes a paying member through that link, the referrer earns a commission. You choose the payout amount and how often you send it.

 You can also: 

• Set your own commission rate
• Track who referred who inside your dashboard
• Manage payouts manually without needing a third-party tool

Everything runs inside GoKollab. You don’t need to connect extra apps or learn new systems. It’s simple and gives you full control from day one.

The GHL member referral program makes it easier to grow your community without spending more on ads. You’re giving your members a way to help you bring in new people while earning something in return.

People are more likely to join when someone they know shares the invite. It feels more personal than a cold email or sales pitch. This kind of growth also brings in members who are more likely to stick around.

On top of that, your current members stay more involved. When there’s a reward for sharing, they have a reason to stay active and help the community grow.

This is a simple way to turn your members into your best marketing tool, all within GoKollab.

This feature is already live inside your GoKollab community settings. Here’s how to find it, set it up, and start using it step-by-step.

1.1 Click your profile icon in GoKollab.

• A pop-up menu will open showing several options.

1.2 From the pop-up menu, click Affiliates.

• A new window will open, displaying your Affiliate Dashboard.

2.1 Select the community you want to enable referrals for

• This will open your community management panel.

2.2 If you don’t have any active communities, you’ll see an All Communities option at the top.

2.3 At the top of the dashboard, click the All Communities button.

• A list of communities you’ve joined will appear.

2.4 Choose the community where you want to enable your affiliate link.

• After selecting, your Referral Link for that specific community will appear on the right side of the dashboard.

2.5 (Optional) Click Edit Bank Details to add your payout account information where your earnings will be deposited.

That’s it. You’re now running your own GHL member referral program inside GoKollab, with full control over commissions, tracking, and growth.

Once your GHL member referral program is live, it’s time to get people using it. The feature works best when your members know how it benefits them and when it’s easy to share.

Announce it clearly

• Make a post inside your community that explains how it works, who can join, and what they can earn. Keep it simple and direct.

Add a note in your onboarding flow

• Include a quick message or link in your welcome email or onboarding message. New members are often the most excited and willing to share.

Create a leaderboard or shout-out

• Highlight top referrers each month to spark some friendly competition. Even small rewards can go a long way.

Offer bonus rewards

• If someone refers three or five members, give them a bonus payout, gift card, or extra month free. It’s a low cost with high return.

Make sharing easy

• Suggest ways members can use their link, like posting it on LinkedIn, sharing in a Facebook group, or sending it to a friend.

When members understand what to do and feel like it’s worth their time, your referral program will grow on its own.

Once your GHL member referral program is running, you’ll likely see steady, organic growth from people already in your corner. These results may not feel instant, but they add up fast.

 Here’s what you can expect over time: 

More quality members

• Referrals tend to bring in people who are already a good fit. They heard about you from someone they trust, which means they’re more likely to stay.

Lower acquisition costs

• You don’t need to spend on ads or hire a marketing team. Your current members do the sharing, and you only pay out when someone signs up and pays.

Higher engagement

• Members who refer others are often your most loyal. Giving them a reason to stay involved helps reduce churn and builds a stronger community.

Faster word-of-mouth growth

• As more members earn rewards, the buzz grows. People talk, share, and invite others without you needing to push.

Member Referral Program update keeps your marketing lean and focused. Over time, your referral program becomes a reliable source of growth with less work on your part.

The GHL member referral program is a simple way to grow your community using the people who already believe in it. By giving your members the tools to invite others and earn rewards, you create a system that supports itself.

You don’t need outside platforms or complicated affiliate tools. It’s all built right into GoKollab, and you stay in control the whole time.

Set your terms, let your members share, and keep an eye on the results. The more they grow, the more your community does too.
