You refer someone who becomes a GoHighLevel affiliate. From then on, GoHighLevel pays you 5% recurring (needs HighLevel approval) connected to their activity, separately from the 40% recurring you earn on your own referrals.
Worked example
Say an average GoHighLevel plan is $97 a month. You refer 10 paying accounts yourself and recruit 5 affiliates who each refer 4 paying accounts.
Tier 1: 10 accounts x $39 = $390 a month
Tier 2: 20 accounts through your recruits x $5 = $100 a month
Total: $490 a month, repeating while those accounts stay active

Pros
Tier 1 pays 40% recurring.
A real second tier exists, which most tools do not offer.
Commissions repeat while the account stays active.
90 day cookie gives slow buyers time to convert.
Rates come from the program's own page.
Cons
The 5% second tier is not automatic. HighLevel reviews and approves accounts for tier 2 payouts.
Who it fits
GoHighLevel suits you if your audience already needs funnels/crm software and you can show the product in use. The second tier only matters if you also reach other
affiliates, through a course, a community or a newsletter about making money online. If
you never recruit affiliates, judge this program on its first tier alone.
