The BrightStar Brand Ambassador program pays you when an organizer you referred sells tickets. You earn 20% of the platform fee BrightStar charges on their sales.
Maybe you know a retreat host, a sound healer or a kirtan leader who would love a gentler way to sell tickets. When you bring them in, the connection between you and them is kept, and it does not end after one event.
How a referral is linked to you
There are two ways an organizer becomes your referral.
By your link or invitation. You share your personal referral link, or send an invitation email in your name. The link opens BrightStar's Be Found page in your language. When the person signs up through your link, they are linked to you. You can send up to 100 invitation emails at a time. You can edit the message, but the link and the footer always stay. BrightStar uses the addresses only to send the emails and does not store the list.
By a ticket they bought. If someone bought a ticket to an event that has the Brand Ambassador program switched on, and later signs up, they can be linked to that event's organizer automatically.
The link is permanent and the first one wins. A person already linked to someone is not linked again, and you cannot refer yourself.
What you earn
You earn 20% of BrightStar's platform fee on each ticket sale the referred organizer makes. It is not 20% of the ticket price. The share comes out of BrightStar's own fee, so the organizer you referred pays the same as anyone else, and their buyers pay nothing extra.
The amount depends on the organizer's plan for that event. Seva has no platform fee, so a Seva sale earns you nothing. Elevate charges $0.89 plus 1.85% per ticket. For example, on a $20 Elevate ticket the platform fee is $1.26 and your share is about $0.25.
Free orders carry no fees, so they earn nothing either. Earnings in different currencies are kept separate and are never added together.
When earnings show as pending
Each earning is recorded when the referred organizer makes a sale, and it starts out as pending.
