Easy side work if you know people
This isn't gig work with shifts or an app. It fits people in Billings who already talk to business owners and want to make a little money on the side for a good intro.
-
Students
You know people who run shops, gyms, and family businesses. Fits around class.
-
Bartenders and servers
You talk to local owners every shift. A quick mention is all it takes.
-
Realtors' assistants
You meet contractors, inspectors, cleaners, and stagers all week.
-
Neighbors
The guy down the street with a plow truck and no website counts.
-
Anyone with a network
Church, gym, kids sports, trade groups. If people trust you, that is enough.
What counts as a good referral
- Local service businesses in Billings and around Montana: contractors, roofers, plumbers, landscapers, cleaners, salons, auto shops, food trucks
- No website at all, or just a Facebook page
- A site that looks old, breaks on phones, or nobody can find on Google
- An owner who is open to a quick call with Z
Not a fit
- Big chains or franchises with corporate sites
- Your own business (ask Z directly instead)
- Cold lists or names you pulled off Google with no connection

Referral program questions
Is this a job?
No. You are an independent referral partner, not an employee or contractor of Blaze. There are no hours, quotas, or schedule. You refer when it makes sense and get paid when a referral turns into a paying customer.
Do I have to sell anything?
No. You do not sell, quote prices, or take payments. You make an introduction and Z handles the conversation, the quote, the build, and the billing.
How much do I get paid?
A flat $100 for each website build that closes and gets paid, plus 10% of the first 3 months if the customer signs up for a monthly plan. This is commission only. If a referral does not buy, there is no payout, and results vary from person to person.
When and how do I get paid?
About 7 days after the customer pays Blaze, by Venmo or Stripe. You can see where each referral stands in your partner dashboard.
How long does a referral count?
90 days from when you send it. If the business signs up in that window, it is yours.
Do I need to live in Billings?
No. Billings is home base, but referrals from anywhere in Montana work. Z meets clients by phone and video, so the business does not have to be in town.
What about taxes?
Payouts are not taxed by Blaze. If you earn $600 or more in a calendar year, Z will ask for a W-9 so a 1099 can be filed, as the IRS requires. Talk to a tax pro about your own situation.
Is there a cost to join?
No. It is free to sign up and there is nothing to buy. If anyone asks you to pay to join, it is not us.
