Referral Program
Refer someone you know. You both get up to two free months.
Good work spreads by word of mouth. When it does, everyone should win.
If you're a Calamus client and you send someone our way, you both get up to two free months: one when they make their first payment, and a second after their third. No limit on how many people you refer.
You
One free month when your referral makes their first payment, and a second after their third.
The person you refer
The same on their plan — one month at their first payment, a second after their third — so the introduction is genuinely worth their time.
How it works
- Share your name. Tell someone about Calamus and let them know to mention you when they sign up. Your referral code is simply your company name — the one on your Calamus account.
- They start with a Pilot Article. When they fill out the intake form, there's a field that asks “Were you referred by anyone?” — they put your name there.
- They subscribe. Once their first monthly payment clears, the referral qualifies. (We tie the reward to a real payment, not a signup, so the program stays fair.)
- You both get your first free month. We apply the credit to both subscriptions and email a confirmation. A second free month follows after their third payment.
Who's a good fit to refer
Calamus works best for expertise-based businesses whose growth depends on being trusted and getting found — financial advisors, accounting and CPA firms, fractional CFOs, consultants, and similar professional-services businesses. If you know someone who should be publishing but never finds the time, they're exactly who we built this for.
The fine print
- The first free month applies after your referral's first payment clears; the second after their third payment.
- Self-referrals and duplicate referrals don't qualify.
- Each side earns up to two free months total, applied as account credit to active subscriptions.
- During our beta period, rewards are reviewed and approved manually — usually within a couple of business days of the qualifying payment.
