Love Supporting Local? Now You Can Get Paid for It.
Join the WhirLocal Affiliate Program and earn recurring income by helping local businesses and nonprofits grow through a platform that champions community.
Most Local Businesses Don’t Know Where to Turn
Thousands of small businesses and nonprofits in your area are trying to grow, but they’re overwhelmed.
They don’t have the tools, time, or systems to market themselves effectively, and most big tech platforms just treat them like a number.
That’s where you come in.
You Can Be Part of the Solution
When you refer a business or nonprofit to WhirLocal and they sign up for our free Starter Membership, you're helping them grow their online presence, reputation, and local reach through a positive, community-based media network.
And when they upgrade to a paid membership option, you earn recurring income.
