You already know the other tutors, trainers, stylists, or specialists in your field — the ones you'd actually refer a client to. What if every one of them joining your community also took 20% of their subscription off your SmallGyfts bill, every month they stayed — with anything beyond your bill paid out to you? That's the co-op.
You're a tutor. You've built a name for yourself, but every week someone asks you for a referral you can't fill — a family needs an SAT coach, or a Spanish tutor, or someone who specializes in dyslexia support. Right now you either say “I don't know anyone” or you send them off to a Google search where they might land on a competitor you've never met.
Instead, you build a branded community page under your own name. You invite the math coach down the street, the music teacher you trust, the test-prep specialist a colleague recommended. Each one gets their own profile with a photo, subjects, and a way for families to reach them directly.
A family comes to you first. If you're not the right fit, your community's search bar — or Anser, the AI chatbot on your page — points them to someone you've personally vetted, inside your own network.
Every one of those tutors who is new to SmallGyfts and signs up for a paid subscription earns you 20% of their monthly subscription, applied to your next SmallGyfts bill, for as long as they stay subscribed. Once your credit covers your whole bill, the rest is paid out to you. No cap on how many you invite. No extra work once they're onboarded.
You didn't just make a referral. You built a network that pays you back every month.
The SmallGyfts Concierge Community lets you build your own branded, curated network of peers in your own field. Families and clients come to you first, then find the right fit inside your community instead of guessing on Google. Every business you invite keeps running independently — and you earn 20% of their subscription, off your own bill first and paid out to you beyond that, for building the trusted front door they get discovered through.
You build the community. A branded community page with your logo and colors, built and hosted on SmallGyfts. You invite any number of peers in your own field — other tutors, other trainers, other specialists, whoever you'd genuinely recommend — to join under your name.
Every business you invite manages its own onboarding, scheduling, sessions, and payments independently, exactly as they do today. SmallGyfts is the discovery and trust layer, not a booking or payment system, so you're not taking on scheduling headaches or payment liability for anyone else's business.
You set the bar for who joins. SmallGyfts doesn't police quality or set standards for your community — that's your call as curator, and it's what protects the trust your name already carries.
When a business new to SmallGyfts joins through your invite and starts a paid subscription, 20% of their monthly subscription is applied to your next SmallGyfts bill, for as long as they stay subscribed. Each month’s credit becomes available seven days after their payment clears. When your credit adds up to more than your bill, the rest is yours: set up payouts on your Referrals page and it’s paid to your bank account on the 1st of each month once it reaches $25 — or move it into donation credits for causes you choose.
Invite as many peers as you want. There's no limit on how many businesses can join your community, and no ongoing work required once a peer is onboarded — the earnings just keep accruing.
It turns relationships you already have with other practitioners in your field into recurring earnings — first off your own subscription, then paid out to you — without asking any of them to change how they run their practice. Businesses already on SmallGyfts are welcome in your community too; the 20% applies to new businesses who join through your invite. Bring businesses on as a service for your clients? The same flat 20% of the referred subscription applies, paid out monthly — learn about the Partner Program.
Every profile in your community has a searchable Keywords field. Ask each business you invite to use a simple, comma-separated pattern: service type, subject or age group, then format. Example: “math tutor, algebra, SAT prep, in-person, grades 9–12” or “piano lessons, beginner, online, ages 6–12.”
Specific keywords are what make your search bar and the Anser AI chatbot on your community page actually useful. A vague keyword like “tutoring” buries a business in every search; specific ones surface it for the right client.
So the invite reaches the right person directly.
SmallGyfts uses it to auto-draft their profile, so they start with something built instead of a blank page.
In your own words, explaining why you're inviting them and what your community is about, so it reads like an invite from you, not a cold platform email.
They receive your note along with a link to review, finish, and publish their profile.
Instead of turning away work that isn't your specialty, you point clients to a community you personally curated — and earn credit for it every month.
A one-time referral fee ends the day you make it. Your 20% keeps coming for as long as the peer you invited stays subscribed.
You're not booking anyone's sessions or handling anyone's payments. Every peer runs their own business exactly as they do today.
You set who's allowed in. Every family that finds a peer through your community found them because you vouched for them.
Keywords and the Anser AI chatbot mean families get matched to the right peer automatically — you don't have to personally route every inquiry.
Once a peer is onboarded, your earnings accrue automatically. Growing your community doesn't mean growing your workload.
Community-level analytics show who scanned, who connected, and which peers in your network are getting the most activity. Anser, the AI chatbot on your community page, can answer “who do you recommend for algebra” or “do you have anyone who teaches Spanish” any time of day — using the same profiles and keywords your peers filled in.
A business can belong to more than one curator's community at once, so inviting a peer never means asking them to leave anything behind — it's pure upside for them, and recurring earnings for you.
