    Build your income.

    Whether you're a business owner with a network, a content creator with an audience, or an agency looking to scale — there's a program built for how you operate. You don't have to choose just one.

    Referral Partner
    Refer. Close. Collect.
    Know a business that needs a website, branding, CRM, or marketing? Send them our way. When they close, you earn a commission — and if they go on a monthly retainer, you keep earning every month they stay active.
    • 10–20% one-time commission on all closed project fees
    • 15–30% monthly residual on active CRM and retainer subscriptions
    • Unique referral link + Affiliate ID for tracking
    • Real-time commission tracking via Studio Escrow CRM
    • Payout monthly via ACH, Zelle, PayPal, or Stripe
    • $100 minimum payout threshold
    • No cap on referrals or earnings
    Who it's for: existing HOK clients, consultants, freelancers, business owners, networking professionals
    Apply as Referral Partner
    Influencer & Creator
    Your audience. Our brands. Real deals.
    We connect content creators, influencers, and brand ambassadors with HOK clients and partner brands looking for authentic promotion. Promote products, earn commission on sales, get paid for content, and tap into a network that includes brands with national reach.
    • Access to HOK's brand network for sponsored deals
    • Commission on product sales and referrals generated
    • Paid content creation opportunities with partner brands

    Agency & White-Label
    Sell our work. Keep the margin.
    If you're a marketing agency, designer, consultant, or creative freelancer — white-label HOK's full service stack and sell it to your clients at your own price. We do the work. You own the relationship. We also send overflow work your way and can plug your agency into Studio Escrow for recurring revenue.
    • White-label branding, web design, CRM, automations, SEO, ads
    • Your brand on the deliverables — we stay invisible
    • Wholesale pricing — sell at a profit to your clients

    Commission Structure

    Exactly what you earn.
    For every service.

    Every commissionable service is listed below. One-time fees pay out after project completion. Residuals pay monthly as long as the client remains active — no expiry, no cap.

    Residuals are the real opportunity.

    A one-time commission is nice. A client who stays on a $1,000/mo retainer for 24 months — and pays you 20% every single month — is a different kind of income. That's $4,800 from one referral.

    Studio Escrow subscriptions are sticky. Once a client is running their CRM, automations, and lead pipelines through Studio Escrow, they don't leave. That's recurring income you can count on month after month without doing any additional work.

    Marcus ran a successful boutique consulting firm but was turning away implementation work because he didn't have the capacity to build websites or manage CRM setups.

    By partnering with House of Karma as a white-label agency partner, he started offering full-stack digital infrastructure to his existing clients. We handled the execution, he maintained the client relationships, and he built a massive residual income stream.

    "I added a six-figure revenue stream to my business in under a year without hiring a single new employee. House of Karma acts as my invisible production team."

    Karma by Design

    Art. Collabs.
    Culture for a cause.

    Karma by Design is HOK's art and cultural brand — original artwork, custom commissions, hospitality installations, and limited collections. As a partner in the HOK ecosystem, you have access to collaboration opportunities with Karma by Design that most people never see.

    A portion of every Karma by Design sale goes to charitable causes. When you refer art commissions or collections, your commission contributes to that mission too.

    Connect with Karma by Design
    Art Commission Referrals
    Refer a restaurant, hotel, office, or collector for a custom art commission or large-scale installation. Earn 10–15% of the commission value when the project closes.
    10–15% referral commission · From $500 per piece
    Collection Collaborations
    If you're a creator or brand with an audience that aligns with art and culture, partner with Karma by Design on limited collection drops — co-branded or featured collaborations.
    Revenue share · Custom terms per collab
    Influencer × Brand Promotion
    Promote Karma by Design collections, events, and drops to your audience. Commission on every sale generated through your link. Art promotion with a charitable angle that resonates.
    Commission per sale · Tracked via affiliate link
    Event & Exhibition Partnerships
    Karma by Design runs art exhibitions, pop-ups, charity showcases, and private networking events. Partners can co-sponsor, promote, or participate — with revenue share on ticket sales and art sold.
    Revenue share · Co-branding opportunities

    The charitable angle matters. Every Karma by Design sale has a portion dedicated to charitable causes. When you refer art commissions or promote collections as a partner, you're not just earning — you're part of something with real-world impact. That's a story worth telling to your audience.

    For Agencies & Designers

    Scale without hiring.
    Profit without overhead.

    If you're running a marketing agency, design studio, or freelance practice — you already have clients who need services you can't always deliver at scale. HOK becomes your silent production partner. We do the work. You invoice the client. You keep the margin.

    We also send overflow work your way when HOK is at capacity. And through Studio Escrow's reseller program, you can build your own recurring revenue stream by deploying CRM systems for your clients under your brand.

    Services available for white-label:

    Brand Identity
    Logo, color, typography, guidelines — fully unbranded deliverables
    Web Design
    Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, Wix — any platform, your brand on it
    CRM & Automation
    Studio Escrow builds deployed under your agency identity
    SEO & Content
    Blog posts, on-page SEO, local optimization — published as yours
    Paid Ads
    Meta and Google campaign management for your clients
    Packaging Design
    Retail-ready packaging for your product brand clients

    What the margin looks like

    Here's a real example of what a white-label agency partner earns on a single client engagement:

    Example: Website + CRM Build for Your Client
    What you charge your client$6,000
    What HOK charges you (wholesale)$3,800
    Your gross profit on this job$2,200
    Example: 5 Clients on $800/mo Studio Escrow Retainer
    Your price to clients (5 × $800)$4,000/mo
    Your Studio Escrow reseller cost$2,750/mo
    Your monthly profit$1,250/mo
    Annual recurring profit$15,000/yr
    Wholesale pricing is set per engagement after agency application and approval. Reseller pricing for Studio Escrow depends on volume and contract terms. Contact us to get your agency pricing sheet.
