Glide

Glide offers a specialized partner program known as the Glide Experts Program, designed for agencies, consultants, and freelancers who build custom software solutions for their clients. Unlike traditional affiliate programs that may focus on simple link-sharing, this program is geared towards professionals who actively manage and implement Glide for business operations. Partners gain access to a revenue share model where they can earn a commission on the subscriptions of the customers they refer and connect to the platform.

The program is structured to support the growth of a development or consultancy business. Members are listed in the Glide Experts Directory, which serves as a lead generation tool by showcasing their work to potential clients seeking custom app development. Additionally, the program provides deep technical support and community engagement through an invite-only Slack workspace and the Experts Hub, a dedicated app for training and tools. Partners also receive early access to product betas, allowing them to stay ahead of the platform's development roadmap.

To join the program, applicants must demonstrate their proficiency with the platform. This involves completing certifications through Glide University and providing a portfolio of work that showcases successfully built applications. Once accepted, Experts can manage their referrals and track their performance through the program's dedicated dashboard. The commission structure is recurring for a set period, providing a steady stream of passive income alongside the service fees charged to clients for app development and maintenance.
