The Manifest Development Referral Program

Closeup of happy young friends smiling lying on white floor andI’m happy to officially announce Manifest Development’s Referral Program. For a limited time, if you refer someone to Manifest Development, you will get a referral fee of 10% of the project price. The better the project, the higher your fee.

This could be as simple as you telling someone about my Services or actually convincing them to get a website through me. Just tell them to let me know you sent them! And to help you out, throughout the week I’ll be posting resources on what exactly I do, and the importance of a website for you to pass along.

If you have any questions, I’m more than happy to assist! And I want to Thank You in advance for your help. I built Manifest Development on referrals and word of mouth and I’d like to give back a little bit for your continued effort and support.
