What you will be recommending
TrueCommunity is a WordPress plugin that runs a private community and online courses in one place, on the site owner’s own domain. Members use their existing WordPress accounts, and all data stays in the site’s own database.
Instead of stacking a community plugin, an LMS and a gamification add-on, site owners get all three in one plugin that shares the same members. That makes it an easy recommendation for anyone who asks, “What should I use for a community with courses?”
- Community: activity feed with polls, mentions and reactions, groups, member profiles, private messages and notifications.
- Courses: sections, lessons and quizzes with 7 question types. Pro adds topics, drip release, prerequisites, assignments, lesson timers, live classes and course selling with WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads.
- Gamification (Pro): badges, time-limited challenges, ranks, leaderboards and rewards that unlock a course, a private group or a store coupon.
Your audience can start with the free plugin on WordPress.org. When they need the advanced course tools, course selling or gamification, they upgrade to Pro, and that sale counts for you. See every feature on the features page.
How much can you earn?
You earn 25% of what the customer pays for their first Pro purchase. Here is what each plan pays you at regular prices from the pricing page.
| Plan | Sites | Price | Your commission |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo yearly | 1 | $119 | $29.75 |
| Solo lifetime | 1 | $249 | $62.25 |
| Studio yearly | 5 | $199 | $49.75 |
| Studio lifetime | 5 | $399 | $99.75 |
| Agency yearly | 30 | $299 | $74.75 |
| Agency lifetime | 30 | $599 | $149.75 |
If a customer uses a discount code, your commission is based on the amount they actually pay. Taxes and payment fees are not included.
Agencies and freelancers often pick Studio or Agency because they build sites for several clients. If that is your audience, a handful of sales takes you past the $200 payout threshold quickly.
Coming soon: the TrueCommunity mobile app
We are building a branded mobile app for iPhone and Android, one app per site, so a community can live in its own app. It is a separate product with its own pricing, and you can read more on the mobile app page.
Once the app launches, a single app sale can earn you up to $250. Affiliates who join now will be the first to hear when it is ready.
How to join in four steps
- Apply. Fill in the short registration form with your name, email, payment email and how you plan to share TrueCommunity.
- Get approved. We review every application within 48 hours and email you.
- Get your link. Log in to your affiliate dashboard to copy your referral link.
- Share and earn. Add your link to reviews, tutorials, videos or newsletters. You earn 25% on every new Pro sale, paid monthly once you reach $200.
Who the program is for
You don’t need a big website. An engaged WordPress audience matters more.
- Bloggers and reviewers who write about WordPress plugins
- YouTubers and course creators who teach WordPress
- Agencies and freelancers who build community or course sites for clients
- Newsletter writers and Facebook group admins with a WordPress audience
Promotion ideas that work well
The best results come from content that helps someone make a decision. A few ideas to get started:
- A setup tutorial: build a small community with a course and badges, and show each step.
- A video walkthrough of the activity feed, a course and the member Rewards page.
- An honest review with what you liked and what you would like to see next.
- A short “tools I use for client community sites” list in your newsletter.
- A reply in a WordPress group when someone asks for a community or LMS plugin.
Always describe features and prices as they appear on truecommunitypro.com, and mark planned features as planned. Our public roadmap shows what is coming next.
What is not allowed
These rules keep the program fair for every affiliate. Commission earned through any of them is cancelled.
- Paid search ads that bid on “TrueCommunity” or close variations
- Buying through your own affiliate link
- Posting coupon codes we did not give you, or listing codes on coupon and deal sites without our approval
- Spam, misleading claims or pretending to be the TrueCommunity team
You also need to tell your audience that you may earn a commission from your links. A short line near the link is enough.
How tracking and payouts work
When someone clicks your link, a cookie records the referral for 30 days. If they buy TrueCommunity Pro in that window, the sale is credited to you, even if they come back later from a bookmark.
Each commission is held for 30 days, because Pro has a 14-day money-back guarantee. After that, approved commissions are paid monthly by PayPal once your balance reaches $200, and anything below that rolls over to the next month.
You can see your link, visits, referrals and earnings at any time in your affiliate dashboard.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. There is no fee to join the TrueCommunity affiliate program.
Do I need a website?
No. A blog, YouTube channel, newsletter or community with a WordPress audience is enough.

Commission is paid on TrueCommunity Pro purchases. Free users who upgrade within your 30-day cookie window still count.

Not at the moment. You earn 25% on the first purchase by each new customer.
