Freelancers are asked about websites all the time. A copywriter's client needs somewhere to publish. A social media manager's client wants a proper site instead of a page. A developer is busy and has to turn a small job away. The Tuncer Technologies website referral program gives you a simple, honest way to handle those moments: send the client to tuncertech.com with your own link, and if they pay, you receive a share of the net money received.
Joining is free, there is nothing to buy, and you keep your own client work completely separate.
What you can refer
| What the client buys | Your share | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | up to 25% of net | Each paid payment for 12 months |
| Website packages | up to 15% of net | Each paid package |
| Services (website and app projects) | up to 10% of net | Each paid invoice |
The three website packages have fixed prices, which makes them easy to suggest:
- Starter Online: USD 229 / ₱8,900. A .com domain, a year of hosting and a one-page website with a contact form. Good for home businesses and solo professionals.
- Business Ready: USD 449 / ₱15,900. Everything in Starter Online plus business email setup and a speed and SEO fix.
- Business Pro: USD 749 / ₱25,900. A five-page website with domain, hosting, business email and the speed and SEO fix.
Example only. If a package sale left a net of USD 100, up to 15% of that net would be up to USD 15; on a ₱5,000 net it would be up to ₱750. The numbers are made up to show the maths, not a forecast. Real results depend on real customers who pay, and many partners earn nothing.
Why freelancers use it
You stay in your lane. If you write, design or manage ads, you do not have to become a hosting provider. You point the client to a store that handles the domain, hosting and build.
You can hand off overflow. When you are fully booked or a project is outside your skills, a referral is a cleaner answer than "sorry, I can't".
Payment links save a step. In your dashboard you can create a payment link for a package and send it straight to a client you are already talking to. The sale is credited to you.
Partner price for your own clients. If you prefer to manage hosting for a client yourself, partners can buy at 20% below the list price. You then bill your client in your own name. This is separate from referral commission.
Tiers and the 25% cap
Your tier is based on the net you refer in a calendar month: Starter, Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum. Higher tiers add +3, +5, +8 or +10 points to that month's rates, but a sale never pays more than 25% of net. For a freelancer who refers service projects, that can lift the services rate above 10%, always within the 25% cap. Tiers reset each month. The thresholds are in the freelancer guide.
Building a small referral team
If other freelancers in your circle want to join, they can sign up with your team link. When a team member makes a sale, a team share of 10%, 5% or 3% (for levels one to three) is taken from that seller's commission, not added on top, and the customer pays nothing extra. A team leader only receives team shares in a month when they made at least one real sale of their own. The focus stays on serving real customers.

- Recommend a package only when it fits the client's need.
- Never make claims about results, rankings or uptime that the store does not make.
- Do not buy through your own link. Use the partner price instead.

FAQ
Do I need to be a web developer to join?
No. Writers, designers, virtual assistants, marketers and anyone who works with small businesses can join. Tuncer Technologies does the build and hosting; you make the introduction.
Will my client pay more because I referred them?
No. Your client pays the normal price shown at checkout. Your commission is a share of the net money the company receives, and team shares come out of the seller's commission.
When is commission paid?
Commission is created after the client's payment arrives and is held for 30 days so refunds can be handled. After that it is approved and paid out by your chosen method. See the FAQ for payout timing.
Can I refer a client and also do part of the work myself?
Yes. You can refer the package or service while keeping your own contract for the work you do, as long as you are clear with the client about who provides what. The Partner Terms explain that partners cannot sign contracts on the company's behalf.
