Accessing Your Referral Link As A Switcher Subscriber
If you are already a Switcher subscriber on an Active Plan:
- Log into the Switcher Studio Dashboard with your Switcher account credentials
- Scroll down to the Account Settings widgets, and look for the Referral Program widget
- Click on the "Copy Link" button
- A blue banner will appear in the top-right corner of the screen, confirming that your unique Referral Link has been copied to your computer's/device's keyboard
- You can now share your unique Referral Link with friends and followers. Remember that this is a link unique to you that must be used for you to receive credit! If a friend or follower signs up by going to the Switcher website on their own, you will not receive credit 😟
- An email will be sent to your Switcher email address when you have a new sign-up, alerting you of this and advising you of next steps. You'll receive this email within 2 business days of the sign-up's occurrence!
Earning Rewards (Breakdown Of The Credit Payout)
When someone signs up for a brand new Switcher account via your unique Referral Link and maintains an active subscription for 30+ days, you'll receive a reward!
- For users on monthly subscription plans, this is literally a free month's worth of credit added to your account.
- For users on annual subscription plans, this is the equivalent of a month's worth of credit added to your account (or 1/12 of your annual payment).
- Annual Studio Plan subscribers paying $441/yr will have $36.75 USD added to their Switcher account
- Annual Suite Plan subscribers paying $948/yr will have $79.00 USD added to their Switcher account
- Annual subscribers on different price-points (including the Nonprofit Discount Program and Legacy Rates) will have the equivalent of one month's worth of credit for their specific plan added to their Switcher account
- You can calculate your personal monthly rate with the formula [Annual Payment Amount] / 12 = [Month's Worth]
- Equipment Bonuses: When a referrer generates 12 successful total referrals, you'll receive a $200 Equipment Bonus to be used at one of Switcher’s preferred retail partners (i.e. iOgrapher, Sweetwater, etc.)
- Our Referral Partners will reach out via email to alert you of this milestone, and to inquire which retail partner you'd like to receive a gift card for.

Suggested Ways To Share Your Referral Link
Many users wish to earn Referral Credits but aren't sure where to share their unique Referral Link. Here are some popular examples of where to do this!
Social Media Posts
Make posts to your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or BlueSky accounts, where you advertise using Switcher for your video productions and include your sign-up link.
Your Video Descriptions
Many users will include a list of products used at the bottom of their video descriptions. Add your Switcher sign-up link!
Free Chat Bots
Program a Timer via a free chatbox like StreamElements or NightBot to post your Switcher sign-up link at a set number of minutes!
The Sign-Up Process For Your Referees
When referees click on your unique Referral Link, they'll be taken to a website that introduces them to more about Switcher.
The URL bar at the top of the screen will reference "Partners Campaign" and "Partner Key". This confirms that they clicked a unique Referral Link, so their sign-up is connected to your profile!
They'll then click the Try Switcher Free button to select the Studio Plan or the Suite Plan and sign up for an account. Their new account will automatically begin a 14-day free trial of their selected plan. Their subscription will automatically begin after the free trial concludes.
Once their paid subscription remains active for 30 days (for Switcher subscribers) or 90 days (for non-Switcher subscribers), you'll receive your credit!
Share The Love! As soon as your referee is on the trial/subscription of their new Switcher account, they can then begin using their own unique Referral Link to earn their own credits!
