Ambassadors

Build an ambassador program around your people

Equip a team for free. Offer a membership to people who use your books in their work. Reward creators for the sales they bring. You choose the mix.

01Teams & partners

A book in every pocket. Ready for the right moment

Equip your team and partners to share your book wherever the conversation happens. A prospect meeting. A client visit. A ministry gathering. They can share from their phone with one person or give a whole room access, without boxes to order or carry.

Your people carry your message further.

02Coaches & practitioners

Your expertise. Their next client conversation

Give coaches and practitioners a resource they can use to win and serve clients. Your book opens a conversation, builds trust and gives them ideas to work through together. They can share the whole book with a prospect or select a chapter for an existing client.

Their work brings new people into yours.

03Organizations & groups

Bring your book into the next class, cohort or team

Give organizations and group leaders a practical way to use your books together. A facilitator can share digital access with participants and bring relevant chapters into the next session. Your ebook, audiobook or both can travel with every reader between meetings.

One relationship can put your ideas to work across a group.

04Advocates & mentors

It helped them. Now they can pass it on

Some readers know exactly who needs your book next. Give them a way to act on it: a copy for a friend, a chapter for a mentee, a resource for someone in a hard season. A meaningful recommendation becomes something the other person can open right away.

Your impact keeps moving through people who believe in it.

05Creators & promoters

Reach the people who already trust them

Let podcasters, creators, speakers and community leaders introduce your books to their audiences. They can share a custom offer and earn the commission you set on sales they drive. Your work reaches new readers through a voice they already know.

Their recommendation opens a new door to your work.

Inside their membership

See what you’re putting in their hands

01

Your books, ready to use

Members get access to the books you include, with ebook and audiobook formats where available. The resource they need is already on their phone.

02

A share for the moment

Send the whole book or selected chapters with a personal message. Share one to one or give a room access through a link or QR code, within your program’s limits.

03

Offers with their name on them

Ambassadors can use a tracked buy link or create a custom offer for their audience. You set the sales commission for the program.

04

A way to stay connected

With shared contact permission, readers become contacts for both you and the ambassador. A recommendation can start two useful relationships.

Your program, your terms

Choose how the relationship works

Free access, paid memberships and commissions can work together. Run different programs for different people, with the books and sharing limits you choose.

Free access

Equip your people for free

Invite your team, ministry partners or chosen advocates at no charge. They get the same sharing toolkit as paying members.

Paid memberships

Build recurring revenue

Offer paid memberships to people who use your books in their work. You set the monthly price.

Sales commission

Reward the sales they bring

Set a commission from 0–40% for each program. Choose the books and sharing limits that fit.

Your ambassador subscription revenue stays yours

Storybase takes no platform fee. Payment processing fees apply.

Start with the people you already know

Three steps to get them going
  1. 01

    Choose the books and terms

    Create a program in your author dashboard. Select the catalog, free sharing limits, monthly membership price and sales commission.

  2. 02

    Bring your people in

    Invite people directly or review their requests to join. Give selected members free access or offer a paid membership.

  3. 03

    Put the toolkit in their hands

    Active members can open your books, share them, create offers and see the activity attributed to their membership.

Questions about ambassadors

Your team, ministry partners, coaches, group leaders, enthusiastic readers and creators can all use an ambassador program. You choose who joins and which books and terms apply. You can run different programs for different groups.

No. You can invite members at no charge, offer paid monthly memberships or combine both. Active free members receive the same sharing toolkit as paying members.

Ambassadors can share a whole book or selected chapters from the catalog you make available. Recipients can read or listen in the formats the book includes. You can set a limit on free shares for each program.

No. Shared books open in a browser, so someone can start reading or listening right away. They can move into the Storybase app when they want to.

When a reader grants shared contact permission, both the author and the ambassador can access the applicable reader contact details. Contact access respects that permission; sending a link alone does not create a contact.

You set the monthly membership price and a sales commission from 0–40% for each program. Storybase takes no platform fee on ambassador subscription revenue; payment processing fees apply. Book sales follow your plan’s sales terms.

Eligible commissions are paid monthly once the ambassador’s balance reaches $25. Smaller balances roll forward. Ambassadors configure their payout details and complete required tax information.

Program-based book access ends when the membership is no longer active. The reader’s notes and reading history stay on their account. Books they independently own remain theirs to access.

Ambassador programs are included with Author Pro. You choose the books and program settings in your author dashboard. Visit pricing for current plan details.

No. Your ambassadors share and promote your books. The Storybase Partner program is for people who recommend Storybase itself to authors.

Engage

Keep readers ridiculously engaged.

  • Let readers move seamlessly between audio and ebook, or read and listen in sync

  • Build video courses, reflection questions, and quizzes directly into your chapters

Activate

Turn attention into action.

  • Place calls to action directly inside the reading experience and guide readers toward their next step
  • Trigger email, text, and notification campaigns based on where each reader is in your book
  • Sync readers into your contacts and external CRM, along with the information they shared with you
  • See which chapters hold attention, where readers drop off, and where momentum is strongest

Multiply

Equip others to carry the message.

  • Equip your team to share your book from their phone in the middle of a conversation
  • Let partners, clients, and fans join your program, share your book, and earn commission
  • License your books and frameworks to organizations for training, education, and development
