Since a long time, Google has been offering a referral program to promote Google Apps. Unfortunately, this program was not available for Indian publishers. Here is a good news - the Google Apps referral program is now available in India.
How does it work?
If you are a blogger or an online publisher, you can recommend Google Apps to your readers. If anyone sign up for Google Apps using your referral program, you will get a referral commission from Google. As of now, the referral commission is US$7.50 per sign up.
If you like to sign up for Google Apps for yourself, you may use the following referral link of mine:

How to Sign Up for referral program
It's quite easy to sign up and get started. Follow the steps below to join this program and start earning from Google:
- Go to https://goo.gl/IzF8MF
- Fill your name and email address.
- Press the "Submit" button after you check the checkbox agreeing to the terms and conditions.
- You will see a confirmation screen suggesting you to check your emails.
You will receive a unique referral URL in email, which you can use to promote Google Apps for Work in your blogs and websites. If people sign up using your unique referral link, you will accrue commission in your Referral account.
This is how the confirmation email I received looks like:
The confirmation email includes:
1. My unique referral URL to share with others
2. Two coupon codes that offers a discount of Rs 300 for the first year. I can share this coupon code with others to encourage them to sign up using my code. [You will get more coupon codes as you refer more people]
If you haven't used Google Apps for your business/blog, you can start a free trial today. If you don't mind using my referral link, you can use it to sign up -
Terms & Conditions
Here are some highlights from the terms and conditions:
1. You can distribute your referral link through emails, provided the email includes options to opt out of further emails.
2. You should not offer any bribe/incentives/rewards for using your referral link.
3. You should not use Google name or logo while promoting this referral program.
4. Referral fees is paid monthly through wire transfer.
5. There is no cookie tracking. You will earn referral commission only if the users sign up directly by following your referral link.
6. The referral commission is not Per Sign Up. It is "Per User" in each account signed up using your referral link. For example, Person A signed up for a Google Apps account using your referral link. You won't get any commission at this time. When Person A creates "users" in his Google Apps account, you will get the commission for each user created by Person A.
7. You are eligible for commission only for a maximum of 100 users in each referral account. In the above example, if person A adds 200 users to his Google Apps account, you will get the commission only for the first 100 users in that account. However, if another person sign up using your referral link, he can also add up to 100 users that gives you commission.
8. Commission will be paid only for the users which are paid for atleast 120 days.
How to get a coupon code for discount
If you like to sign up for Google Apps and want a coupon code, you may approach the bloggers who are using the referral program. They will be happy to share their coupon code with you since that will make them eligible for referral commission. I will be happy to share my coupon codes with 2 people.
