I Pay $1,000+ for Referrals. Here’s How It Works.


This isn’t new—but almost nobody remembers it, so it’s worth saying again.

If you connect me with someone who books me for an event, I pay you 20% of the performance fee.

For most events, my minimum booking is $5,000, which means a referral earns you at least $1,000.

If it’s a bigger event, you earn more.

No catch. No gimmicks. Actual money.


This Comes Up More Often Than You Think


Most referrals don’t happen because someone planned to refer me.

They happen in moments like:

  • “Do you know a good entertainer?”

  • “We’re planning an event and want something different.”

  • “We want something funny, but not cheesy.”

If my name comes up in that conversation and you make the introduction, that’s it. You’ve done the work.


This Is Not an Affiliate Program


There are:

  • no referral links

  • no promo codes

  • no dashboards

  • no portals

  • no sales pitch required

You don’t have to “sell” me.  You don’t have to explain anything.

Just make the intro however you normally would—text, email, or a quick call—and I take it from there.

If it books, I pay you.


How I Keep Track (Because Memory + Money Is a Bad Combo)


I keep it simple.

Before or right after you make an intro, just log the referral here:

Click Here to Refer Me

You can also find that link under Services (Refer Zach) in the main menu on top of this website.

It takes about 30 seconds and makes sure I know who to thank (and pay) when the event books.

No spam.  No follow-ups.  Just a clean paper trail.


One Last Thing


If you’re ever unsure whether a situation is a good fit, you can always ask me first. I’d rather give you a straight answer than waste anyone’s time.

And yes—I really do pay.
