“Cheaper than what I was using and far easier to get around. I had never seen keyword data laid out so visually before, the topic clusters especially, which made the whole thing easy to understand.”
Reselling versus referring
There are two ways to make money from software you do not own.
Traditional reselling. You buy licences at a discount, sell them at a higher price, and handle the billing, the support and the chasing of late payments. You set the price, but you carry the cost and the risk.
Referral partnership. The customer buys directly from the software company, and you are paid a share of what they pay. You do not set the price, but there is nothing to buy up front and nothing to support afterwards.
For most people starting out, referring is the simpler route. UtilitySEO works this way.
What you need to start
Not much, but three things matter:
- People who already ask you for recommendations. Clients, readers, followers, a local business network.
- An honest reason to recommend it. If you would not use or suggest the product without the commission, people will notice.
- A clear label. Tell people it is a referral link. UK advertising rules expect it, and it keeps their trust.
The product you would be recommending
UtilitySEO is SEO software for small businesses and agencies. It runs a full-site SEO audit and turns it into a priority fix list with a CSV export, tracks rankings from Google Search Console, and checks every week how a brand appears in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. Anyone can try a free 30-second scan first, and onboarding help is free.
There are three plans. Minimum is £39 a month or £390 a year. Entrepreneur is £79 a month or £790 a year and adds AI features and growth blogs. Enterprise is £99 a month or £990 a year and adds white-label reports and unlimited seats, projects and AI (fair use).
The maths
You earn 50% of every payment a customer you referred makes, for up to 12 months from their first payment.
A customer on Enterprise monthly pays £99 and you get £49.50 a month, £594 in total if they stay a year. A customer on Entrepreneur monthly earns you £39.50 a month, £474 over a year. On yearly plans, your half is paid a twelfth a month. That is the arithmetic of our prices, not an income promise.
You are paid monthly to PayPal or Wise, with no minimum payout. Refunds and lost disputes come off your next payout, which never goes below zero.
A simple way to begin
Pick one place you already have people's attention, such as a newsletter, a client call or a tools page on your site. Point people to the free scan with your code. Your code can give anyone who signs up with it a longer free trial or a higher plan, and your Affiliates panel shows the sign ups, paying customers and your earnings each month.
