Q: How do I refer another Artist to CO:CREATE?
After your first booking, you'll get an email and text with your unique referral link. Share this link with Artists you think match our quality standards. When they apply using your link, they'll be automatically approved (with rare exceptions for home studios or international Artists).
Q: What happens when I refer someone?
When an Artist joins using your link and goes live on CO:CREATE, you'll both get featured in a dual social media shoutout on our Instagram. This gives both of you exposure to our growing Client base.
Q: Do I get paid for referrals?
No cash payments. Based on Artist feedback, exposure is what matters most for building your career. Our social features put you in front of potential Clients who are actively looking for Artists.
Q: What if I refer multiple Artists?
After 3+ successful referrals (Artists are accepted and go Live), you'll get featured as a "Community Builder" in a compilation post - even more exposure for your work and profile.
Getting Your Referral Link
Q: When do I get my referral link?
A few days after your first CO:CREATE booking. You'll receive both email and text with your unique link.
Q: What does my referral link look like?
It's the standard Artist application URL plus your Instagram handle. For example: https://www.cocreate.ink/join/submit?rid=yourinstahandle
Q: Can I customize my referral link?
No, it's automatically generated using your Instagram handle to ensure proper tracking.
Who Should I Refer
Q: What kind of Artists should I refer?
Artists whose work you respect and who maintain professional standards. They should work in licensed shops (not home studios) and be US-based.
Q: Will referred Artists be automatically approved?
Yes, in most cases. The only exceptions are Artists who work from home studios or are based outside the US, as we are currently only accepting US-based Artists.
Q: What if the Artist I refer gets rejected?
This rarely happens with referrals, but if they work from a home studio or are international, they'll go through standard review.
Referral Benefits
Q: Why focus on social promotion instead of cash?
We conducted a robust survey and Artists told us exposure matters more than money for career growth. Our Instagram reaches thousands of potential Clients actively searching for Artists.
Q: How quickly will we get featured?
When your referred Artist goes Live on the platform, we'll feature both of you in a social post.
Q: What if I don't want to be featured on social media?
The social feature is the primary benefit of referrals. If you prefer not to be featured, please reach out to our Support Team (support@cocreate.ink) to let us know.
Tracking and Support
Q: How do I know if my referral worked?
You'll get a thank you email when someone applies using your link. You'll also see the social feature when they go Live.
Q: What if my referral link isn't working?
Contact our Support Team. We can troubleshoot link issues and ensure proper tracking.
Q: Can I see how many people I've referred?
Not directly through your dashboard yet, but our Support Team can provide this information if needed.
The Big Picture
Q: Why does CO:CREATE focus on Artist referrals?
All great Artists know other great Artists. When you refer someone, you're helping build a platform where Artists control their careers and get the exposure they deserve. Word-of-mouth from Artists we trust is how we maintain quality while growing the platform.
