In today’s gig economy, many creatives and developers are looking for ways to generate passive income that doesn’t require constant active work.
Traditional freelancing or project-based work often involves trading time for money, which limits scalability.
The need for a more scalable and passive income source is pressing, and the Framer Partner Program presents an ideal solution.
What is the Framer Partner Program?
The Framer Partner Program is an affiliate and partnership initiative by Framer.
This program allows partners to earn commissions by promoting Framer, selling templates, and handling client sites.
By doing this, you can monetize your Framer skills and network, creating a steady stream of passive income.
The biggest benefit of joining the Framer partner program is the ability to scale your income without a proportional increase in effort (we’ll get into that later in the blog)
You also get the Framer partner badge in the Framer community, enhancing your reputation and visibility.
How To Join The Framer Partner Program?
To join the Framer partner program, head over to the Framer website and scroll to the bottom of the page.
From there you need to fill out your application and within 2 weeks, you will get a response from the Framer team.
Once your application is accepted you’ll be given access to your Partner dashboard. In this dashboard you’ll be able to track clicks, see how many referrals you’ve driven and how much commission you’ve earned so far.
You will be asked to create a Partner ID, which you’ll need to use to tag all the links you share so Framer can track which referrals you’ve made.
How do we do that? This leads us to the next section…
Ways To Earn Money From The Framer Partner Program
There are several ways to generate income through the Framer Partner Program, all centered around your unique partner ID.
Selling Templates
One of the main ways to earn is by designing and selling templates on the Framer marketplace.
Designers create high-quality templates, list them for sale, and keep 100% of the template price.
Additionally, when a customer upgrades their Framer plan after purchasing your template, you receive 50% of their subscription fee for up to a year.
For example, if you sell a template for $30, you earn $30 upfront. If the customer upgrades to a $20 monthly plan, you receive $10 each month for 12 months, totaling $120 from their subscription.
Please note that you add your partner ID at the end of the remix link, like this:
framer.com/projects/new?duplicate=fEs2gTCoqpq0vA6u1n7q&via=theashariqbal
Handling Client Sites
As a Framer developer working on client websites, you can utilize the Partner Program similarly to selling templates. After completing the website and before the handover:
Copy the remix link
Add your partner ID at the end of the remix link
Send it to your client
The most effective approach is to build the website in your own Framer account and then transfer it to the client’s Framer account.
Once your client upgrades their Framer plan, you earn 50% of their subscription.
Sharing Your Affiliate Link
The most scalable method involves sharing your unique affiliate link for Framer.com, like this:
https://www.framer.com/?via=yourpartnerid
This link uses cookies that remain active for 90 days, allowing you to earn from referrals during that period.
If someone signs up and upgrades their plan within 90 days of clicking your link, you receive 50% of their subscription revenue for a year.
To maximize earnings, create content promoting Framer and share your affiliate link.
If your post goes viral and gets clicks, you can expect a few conversions to take place.
How to Access Your Payouts
All your payouts are accessible via the First Promoter Dashboard.
Your earnings typically appear within 24 hours and provide detailed insights into customer clicks, sign-ups, revenue shares, signup dates, and more.
Additionally, you can track your total pending payouts. Payouts are processed through Contra. Once you reach the $200 threshold, payments are made two months after earnings confirmation.
For example, if you reach the $200 threshold in March, your payment will be made in May.
How Much Can You Earn with Framer?
The earning potential with the Framer Partner Program is virtually limitless. Let's run an example and see how:
Imagine you create a popular template that sells 100 times in a year, earning you $10 per sale—that’s $1,000 annually from just one template.
If 20 out of those 100 customers upgrade to the basic package monthly, that’s an additional $200 per month or $2,400 per year.
When you factor in earnings from affiliate links managing client sites, your total income potential becomes even more apparent.
Conclusion
The Framer Partner Program offers a fantastic opportunity for designers and developers to earn scalable passive income.
By selling templates, handling client sites with remix links, and sharing affiliate links, you can create a diversified income stream.
The program is designed to be easy to use and scale, making it ideal for anyone looking to monetize their skills and network.
