Affiliate terms — simple and clear
Program operated by Labor Monster, LLC, DBA Ask Biz Bud. Terms version: 2026-10-28-v4.
- Who can join: You must be at least 18, use a verified Ask Biz Bud account, and provide an accurate channel or website and a payment email. A paid Ask Biz Bud subscription is not required. Tell us about yourself and your audience. Dan reviews your information and website; approval is not automatic or guaranteed, and there is no promised review timeframe.
- Your included membership: New applications require owner approval. Pending applicants do not yet receive an active referral link or this Premium benefit. On first approval, new affiliates receive a free account with Premium features for one fixed 30-day period, including 600 AI credits for that period. The clock does not reset each day, on repeat approval, or when participation is resumed. Unused credits do not roll over. After 30 days, the free tools, library, games and community remain available; continuing Premium requires a separate paid plan. No automatic charge. Affiliates who joined under earlier terms retain their original benefit and original expiry, where applicable. Pausing an affiliate account ends complimentary access; any separate paid subscription remains governed by its own billing and is not automatically canceled. No referral sale is required.
- Your earnings: 20% of eligible Bud-Solo and Team Ask Biz Bud membership revenue; 10% of the Ask Biz Bud Live retainer. The earning window is 12 calendar months from a referred member’s first eligible paid invoice. No commissions on free accounts, credit boosts, taxes, Dan’s separate deal-closing commission, or services outside these memberships.
- Eligible revenue: Actual successful USD membership payments through the site’s Stripe checkout, after discounts and excluding taxes. Partial refunds reduce earnings proportionally. Disputed payments are held or reversed; failed and fully refunded payments earn nothing. Changes and credit notes can require review. Zelle membership payments require separate owner reconciliation and are not automatically tracked here.
- Attribution: A new member must open your link and create their account in the same browser within 30 days. A first-party referral cookie remembers the first valid affiliate link. The account can be confirmed on another device. The referral stays attached for eligible renewals. Existing accounts, your own accounts, duplicate or fraudulent accounts, and untracked purchases do not qualify. No guaranteed earnings.
- Monthly payouts: Dan reviews and sends eligible balances on the 15th through your selected PayPal or Zelle email, after a minimum 30-day hold. No minimum payout. Availability depends on your payment service and country. Keep your payment email correct. Payments are manually sent and recorded; the site does not automatically transfer money. Refunds after payout are offset against later earnings. Tax or identity documentation may be required before payment; do not upload it to this site.
- Promote honestly: Clearly disclose that you earn a commission, including in videos and near links. Suggested wording: “I may earn a commission if you join through my link.” No spam, fake reviews, misleading promises, impersonation, or buying ads on Ask Biz Bud’s brand name. Read the FTC’s disclosure guidance.
- Privacy and changes: Your payment email and contact details are shared only with the account owner for program administration. Your dashboard shows referral counts and earnings, not customer contact information. Dan can pause participation for suspected abuse and review disputed attribution. Changes to rates apply prospectively; already-earned valid commissions remain payable.

Dan Gevanni.
Founder and Creator
of Ask Biz Bud.
Labor Monster, LLC, DBA Ask Biz Bud
I created Ask Biz Bud to give business owners something I wish I’d had when I started: one place to find clear, reliable guidance, learn useful skills, and connect with people who understand what it takes to build a business.
Whether you’re trying to convert more leads, improve your profit margins, run a social media campaign, or figure out your next move, my goal is to help you understand what to do and why it matters.
Ask Biz Bud brings together more than 25 years of experience, hard-earned lessons, countless hours of advice and training, and the knowledge behind the licenses I’ve earned. I wanted to turn that investment into something other people could use, surrounded by a positive, supportive community of like-minded people working toward their own goals.
My career began in home loans and expanded into title and vendor management, where I earned multi-million-dollar producer and top sales producer awards. I built systems, trained teams, and ran operations supporting hundreds of loan officers and branches nationwide, with responsibility for hundreds of millions in total production. In 2006, I moved into tax auctions and foreclosures, recovering more than $20 million in surplus funds for homeowners across the country.
Today, I bring those lessons in lead generation, handling objections, sales conversion, operations, and automation to Ask Biz Bud, with one purpose: helping you build something you’re proud of.
