What’s the Difference Between Ambassadors and Affinity Partners?
SpeakerMatch offers two partnership options: the Ambassador Program and the Affinity Partner Program. While both help spread the word about SpeakerMatch, they’re designed for different goals and audiences.
SpeakerMatch Ambassadors
The Ambassador Program is designed for individuals who want to earn commissions by actively promoting SpeakerMatch.
Ambassadors typically:
Share referral links through email, social media, blogs, or websites
Promote SpeakerMatch at least once every 90 days
Earn recurring commissions on subscriptions they refer
May earn additional commissions through sub-Ambassadors
This program works best for speakers, coaches, consultants, and content creators with an engaged audience.
Affinity Partners
The Affinity Partner Program is designed for organizations or communities that want to offer SpeakerMatch as a member benefit rather than actively promote it.
Affinity Partners typically:
Share SpeakerMatch with a defined group (such as members or students)
Use custom offers or group-specific benefits
Focus on added value for their community rather than ongoing promotion
May not participate in commission-based incentives
This program works well for associations, networks, schools, and membership-based organizations.

Choosing the Right Program
If you want to earn recurring income by recommending SpeakerMatch, the Ambassador Program is the best fit. If your goal is to provide added value to a specific group without managing promotions or commissions, the Affinity Partner Program may be a better option.
