How to Earn Money From Referrals to Shake The Tree Marketing

What if you could earn extra cash just by introducing someone to a service that helps their business grow? That's exactly what the Shake The Tree Marketing referral program offers. Whether you're a current customer, a fellow business owner, or someone who simply knows a local business that needs a better online presence — you can earn a minimum of $100 for every successful referral. Here's everything you need to know to start earning.

How the Referral Program Works

The process is refreshingly simple. You don't need to be a marketing expert, and you don't need to sell anything. Here's the three-step process:

Who Can You Refer?

This is where it gets interesting — almost any local business is a great candidate. Think about the businesses you interact with every week:

The key thing to look for: a business that either doesn't have a website, or has one that's outdated or not bringing in customers. If you've ever thought "their website is terrible" while looking up a local business — that's your referral candidate.

How Much Can You Earn?

The baseline is $100 per successful referral, and there's no limit on how many businesses you can refer. But let's put that into perspective:

Think about it: if you know even one local business owner per month who could benefit from a better website, that's an easy $1,200 per year. Do it once a week? That's $5,200+ annually. And the best part — the money is earned passively once you submit the referral. Our team does the follow-up work.

Why Businesses Need What We Offer

You might wonder: "Will the businesses I refer actually be interested?" The answer is almost always yes — and here's why:

When you refer a business to us, you're not just earning money — you're genuinely helping a local business owner solve a real problem. That makes the conversation easy and natural.

Why We Pay for Referrals (And Why It Works)

You might wonder why Shake The Tree Marketing pays people for referrals instead of just spending that money on ads. The answer is simple: trust beats advertising every time.

When a business owner hears about us from someone they know — rather than from a Google ad — they're far more likely to take the conversation seriously. A personal introduction carries weight that paid advertising can never replicate. By sharing the reward with you, we all win:

It's a win-win-win — and that's why we're happy to pay you for every successful referral.
