Earn cash for sharing HomeAtlas.
Help your friends, family, or audience run a tidier home — and get paid every time one of them signs up for a paid plan. No application, no approval queue, no minimum follower count.
How it works
Four steps. The first three take about five minutes total.
Sign up
Create a free HomeAtlas account. No credit card needed.
Get your link
From your referrals dashboard, generate up to 5 active referral links.
Share it
Post it, send it, embed it. Anyone who clicks gets attributed to you for 90 days.
Get paid
Earn credits or cash for every paying customer. Payouts run weekly via Stripe.
What you earn
Commission on every paid signup
You earn a share of each subscription one of your referrals starts. Higher tiers unlock when you bring in more active customers — automatically, no negotiation.
Credits unlock cash at $100
Early commissions accrue as HomeAtlas credits you can use yourself. Once you've earned $100 lifetime, you can switch to real cash payouts to your bank.
Weekly automated payouts
We run payouts every week. Once your bank is connected, cash lands on Stripe's normal schedule (typically 2 business days).
90-day attribution window
A click on your link tags that visitor for 90 days. If they sign up and pay within that window, the conversion is credited to you.
What you'll need
A HomeAtlas account
Free to create. You'll need to be logged in to generate your referral links.
A bank account in a supported country
We currently pay out to 2 countries via Stripe. United StatesAustralia
Tax info (for cash payouts)
Stripe collects a W-9 (US) or W-8BEN (everywhere else) on a secure hosted page when you switch to cash. HomeAtlas never sees your tax documents directly.
Lifetime earnings of $100 (for cash)
Credits start accruing on your first referral. Cash payouts unlock once your lifetime earnings cross $100 — a small spam-control gate that exists because each cash payout has Stripe processing costs.
The full walkthrough
Step 1 — Sign up or log in
Head to the sign-up page and create a free HomeAtlas account using email, Google, Apple, Microsoft, or Facebook. If you already have one, just log in.
Step 2 — Generate your referral link
From your Referrals dashboard, click Create code.
You'll get a short, memorable URL like
homeatlas.org/r/YOURCODE/
you can share anywhere. You can have up to 5 active
codes at once — handy if you want to A/B test different posts or
platforms.
Step 3 — Share with your audience
Drop the link in social posts, newsletters, blog reviews, YouTube descriptions, or DMs. There's no minimum follower count and no rules about where you can share (as long as you're not spamming or misrepresenting HomeAtlas).
Step 4 — Track conversions in real time
Your dashboard shows clicks, signups, paid conversions, and pending commission as it happens. Each click on your link tags that visitor for 90 days — they don't have to sign up immediately for you to get credit.
Step 5 — Connect Stripe and start getting cash
Once your lifetime earnings hit $100, a Switch to cash payouts button appears on your dashboard. Click it, pick your country, and complete Stripe's secure onboarding (about 5–10 minutes — ID, tax form, bank details). From that point on, future commission lands as cash instead of credits.
Step 6 — Get paid every week
Our payout job runs weekly. Cash arrives in your bank on Stripe's normal schedule (~2 business days for most countries). Until then, commissions show as pending on your dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
How much do I actually earn per referral?
The exact rate depends on the plan your referral signs up for and your current tier. Most affiliates start in the entry tier and move up automatically as their active referral count grows. Specific rates are shown on your referrals dashboard once you have an account.
What's the difference between credits and cash?
Credits are spendable inside HomeAtlas — they work like store credit on your account. You earn credits from the very first referral.
Cash is real money paid to your bank via Stripe. You can switch to cash payouts after you've earned $100 lifetime. After switching, all future commissions arrive as cash.
When do I get paid?
Commission accrues the moment a referral converts to a paying customer. We run a payout batch once a week. Cash payouts arrive in your bank on Stripe's normal schedule — typically 2 business days after the batch runs, though it can be slightly longer for some countries.
Do I need to fill in tax forms?
Only when you switch to cash payouts. Stripe collects a W-9 (US) or W-8BEN (everywhere else) on a hosted page during onboarding. HomeAtlas never sees those documents — they live with Stripe.
If you're a US resident and earn over the IRS reporting threshold in a calendar year, Stripe will issue you a 1099-K automatically. Outside the US, Stripe records the W-8BEN and you handle income reporting through your normal channels.
Which countries are supported for cash payouts?
Currently 2 countries: United States, Australia.
If yours isn't listed, your commission still accrues as credits — and let us know which country to add next. We expand this list as demand grows.
How long does someone have to sign up after clicking my link?
90 days. Each click on your link sets a cookie that tags the visitor as yours. If they sign up and pay within 90 days, you get credit — even if they don't sign up the same session. After 90 days the attribution expires.
Can I share my link with anyone?
Pretty much. Post it to social media, embed it in blog posts or videos, send it to friends, drop it in your newsletter. The only things we don't allow are:
- Paid search ads that bid on HomeAtlas brand terms
- Mass spam or unsolicited DM blasts
- Impersonating HomeAtlas or misrepresenting what we do
- Self-referrals (creating accounts to refer yourself)
Self-referrals and refunded conversions get clawed back automatically.
What happens if my referral cancels or asks for a refund?
If a referral is refunded or charges back within the protection window, the matching commission is reversed — either by deducting from your next payout, or by recording a balance you'll work down with future earnings. This is standard for affiliate programs and exists to keep things fair for everyone.
Is there a minimum payout amount?
Credits accrue from your first referral — no minimum. For cash payouts there's the $100 lifetime earnings threshold to switch over (a one-time gate), and after that no per-payout minimum.
Can I have multiple referral links?
Yes — up to 5 active codes at the same time. Useful if you want to track which platform or post is performing best. Retire old ones and create new ones any time.
Do I need a huge audience to make this worthwhile?
No. There's no follower minimum and no application. Even a few referrals from close friends add up. If you do bring in a lot, the tier system rewards that automatically with higher commission rates — but the program is designed to be fair for casual referrers too.
How do I track my performance?
Your referrals dashboard shows live click counts, signups, paid
conversions, pending commission, and a per-link breakdown. Top-tier
affiliates get an extended creator dashboard at
/influencer/
with deeper funnel analytics.
