${youtube}[How the BlueNotary Referral Program Work](L6EVm4ic_QE)

# 30% for you, 30% for them

BlueNotary’s referral program rewards both you and the person you invite. When someone signs up using your referral link and purchases a plan, **both of you receive 30% benefits**.
* **30% for them** as a discount on their first purchase
* **30% for you** as referral earnings paid out over time
This program is available for **both Notary and Business users**.

### For the Referred User:
Referred user gets an unbeaten discounted rate! 
If someone signs up using your referral link, they recieve:
* **An unbeatable discounted rate** on their first BlueNotary plan
* **30% off their first purchase**, applied **on top of the discounted pricing already shown** on the upgrade or pricing page
* The discount works for **both Notary and Business plans**

For example:
1. **Notary Pro Annual Plan:**
*      →  Discounted Price: $297
*      → Referral Price: $208
*      → Total Saving: **$89.10!**
2. **Notary Pro 3-Year Plan:**
*      → Discounted Price: $648
*      → Referral Price: $454
*      → Total Savings: **$195**
3. **Business Pro Annual Seat:**
*      → Discounted Price: $516 per seat
*      → Referral Price: $360 per seat
*      → Savings: **$155 per seat**
4. **Notary Pro Monthly Plan:**
*      → Regular Price: $27
*      → Referral Price: $18.90
*      → Savings: $8.10

### For the Referrer:

As the referrer, you get the best perk! Instead of a one-time bonus, BlueNotary rewards you with steady monthly earnings based on the savings your referral received.

When someone signs up using your referral link and purchases a plan, you receive **referral earnings for 6 months**.

Your payout is calculated based on **the referral discount given to the referred user**.
* You receive the **monthly equivalent of that discount**
* Paid **each month for 6 months**

For Example, for a Annual Plan Referral:
If a user purchases **Notary Pro Annual Plan** and saves **$89**, your reward will be:
* $89 ÷ 12 = **$7.41 per month**
* Paid for **6 months**
**Total earned:** about **$44.46**

Example 2: Monthly Plan Referral:
If a user purchases **Notary Pro Monthly Plan** and saves **$8.10 per month**, you receive:
* **$8.10 per month**
* Paid for **6 months**
**Total earned:** **$48.60**
