# Dub Network referral bonus
> Learn how the Dub Network referral bonus works and how you can share your referral link to start earning.
Dub offers a Network referral bonus that lets you earn rewards when you invite other partners to join the Dub partner network and they start earning commissions on Dub.
When another partner joins Dub through your referral link, you can earn **50% of your referred partners' [payout fees](#what-are-payout-fees) for their first 12 months**.
## How to access the Network Referrals page
You can access the Network Referrals page via this permalink: [partners.dub.co/referrals](https://partners.dub.co/referrals)
Alternatively, you can also click on the gift icon in the bottom left corner from the main navigation:
## Sharing your referral link
On the Network Referrals page, copy your referral link and share it with partners you want to invite to Dub.
Alternatively, you can also link directly to any program on Dub by appending your Dub username to the end of the link.
For example, if your Dub username is `steven` and you want to link to [Dub's affiliate program](https://partners.dub.co/dub), you can share the following link: [`partners.dub.co/dub/apply?via=steven`](https://partners.dub.co/dub/apply?via=steven)
Then, when someone signs up through your link, Dub attributes that partner and all their future commissions for the first 12 months to your Dub partner account.
If the program you're linking to already has a [Partner Referral
reward](/help/article/partner-referrals) that you're eligible for, the Partner
Referral reward will take precedence over the Dub Network Referral bonus.
## Tracking referrals and earnings
The Dub [Network Referrals page](https://partners.dub.co/referrals) shows:
* **Referred partners** – the number of partners who joined Dub through your referral link
* **Your earnings** – the referral bonus earnings attributed to your network referrals
* **Referral rewards** – the current network referral reward terms
* **Referred partner details** – the partner's join date, location, active programs, and your earnings from that partner
## FAQ
### How do I get paid for my network referrals?
Network referral rewards are paid through your Dub partner account – similar to how you receive commissions from the programs you're working with.
To receive your network referral rewards, make sure you have [connected your payout method](/help/article/receiving-payouts). Once your rewards are eligible for payout, they follow the same payout process as your other Dub partner earnings.
### What are payout fees?
Whenever a program sends a payout to their partners on Dub, we charge a small processing fee that averages around 3% per payout.
For example: if you refer a partner who earns **\$20,000 in commissions**, their payout fees will be **\$600**, and you will earn 50% of that, which is **\$300**.
The more high quality partners you refer, the more you can earn in network referral rewards – there is no limit to how much you can earn.
### Can I link to any program on Dub even if I'm not an active partner in that program?
Yes, you can link to any program on Dub even if you're not an active partner in that program – all you need to do is append your Dub username to the end of the link.
For example, if your Dub username is `steven` and you want to link to [Dub's affiliate program](https://partners.dub.co/dub), you can share the following link: [`partners.dub.co/dub/apply?via=steven`](https://partners.dub.co/dub/apply?via=steven)
Caveat: If the program you're linking to already has a [Partner Referral
reward](/help/article/partner-referrals) that you're eligible for, the Partner
Referral reward will take precedence over the Dub Network Referral bonus.
