You set the terms
Free seats, a paid membership, which books they get, and the commission — up to 40% — on the sales they drive.
Ambassadors
Readers who carry the book for you.
A Storybase Ambassador is a reader you equip to share the book. Comp the seat or charge a subscription. They get your titles and a toolkit — tracked links, a simple way to send the book, and commissions up to 40% on the sales they drive. Storybase takes 0% of ambassador subscription revenue. You keep that, less Stripe.
How a program actually runs
2
They request to join
You review, comp, send a payment link, or deny. On the phone it is always a request, so the program works on the App Store too.
3
They share from their pocket
A tracked link in a conversation, a campaign, a launch. You see who moved, and they earn when it converts.
The numbers that are actually true
No invented testimonials. These are product rules.
0%platform fee on ambassador subscription revenue
40%maximum commission you can offer on book sales they drive
100%of that subscription stays with you, less Stripe
What they get — and what you get
A toolkit, not a coupon code
They send the book the same way you do: a link, a note, a browser that opens. The difference is the link is theirs.
Campaigns when you need a push
A launch, a season, an evergreen goal. Leaderboard, bonus tiers, and a clear view of who actually moved the needle.
Publishers run this too
A roster can have ambassador programs billed on the publisher's own Stripe account — same machinery, whole catalog.
Access for as long as they are in
Active members get the books in the program. When membership ends, that access ends. Notes they took stay on their account.
Questions, answered
The people who already love the book can carry it further.
Equip them. Pay them fairly. Keep the relationship.
