How it works
From your link to a wire transfer
Six steps. You do the first two; the company and micro1 handle the rest.
Get your referral link
Join micro1's referral program through The Corner. In your dashboard, open the Company section and copy your link from the Opportunities tab.
Get my referral linkInvite a company
Send your link to owners with 30+ staff and 2+ years of records. A short personal note works best.
The company sets up its profile
Their point of contact registers through your link and fills in a data manifest: which systems they use, how many years, rough size. Nothing confidential.
micro1 evaluates the fit
micro1 reviews the company and its data. Not every company qualifies, which is why the fit checklist below matters.
The company becomes a partner
If it's a fit, the company signs a licensing agreement and transfers its approved data securely.
You get paid
Your bonus goes into payout approval once the data is transferred and accepted, then arrives by wire to the bank account you add.
Which companies are the right fit?
Two kinds of company pay out. No cap on how many you refer.

Businesses licensing the records they already have: chat, email, tickets, CRM, SOPs.

$50K on deals up to $700K, or 7.5% of the deal above that.
Shut-down companies
Companies that are no longer operating, with their old Slack or Teams history still on hand.

Who makes a great referrer

Industry consultants
Dealer, franchise and field-service consultants know their niche, and niche data pays most.
Podcasters & creators

The fine print, up front
When do I get paid?
Your bonus goes into payout approval after the company's data is transferred and approved by micro1, not at sign-up or signing. It's paid by wire to the bank account you add.
Who can refer?
Anyone 18 or older. You don't need to work in data or sales. You and the company just can't be somewhere micro1 doesn't operate.
How do I find my link?
After you join, switch to the Company section of your micro1 dashboard and copy your link from the Opportunities tab. The My Referrals tab shows where each company is.
How is a referral tracked?
The company has to register through your link and apply itself. Intros by email, or applying on a company's behalf, don't count. A company that registered on its own or through someone else's link can't be moved to you.
Is there a limit?
No. Refer as many companies as you like. Each one that qualifies pays separately.
Does joining through The Corner cost me anything?
No. You keep your full payout. micro1 pays The Corner separately; nothing comes out of yours.
How should I contact companies?
From your own personal or work email. Don't present yourself as micro1 staff or an official representative. If you promote your link to an audience, say you're paid. FTC rules require it.
Is a payout guaranteed?
No. Every company goes through micro1's qualification and evaluation, and micro1 sets and can change the terms. Figures here are from micro1's published pages as of October 2026.
