Group Connect Affiliate Program
Help SHGs Go digital.
Earn as you grow.
Become a Group Connect affiliate training and support partner — introduce the app to self help groups, train their members, and get paid directly by the groups you help. Refer more groups and build your reputation as a trusted trainer.
Open to SHG federation staff, community resource persons, NGO workers, freelancers and anyone comfortable working with self help groups.
Two ways to begin — No barriers to entry
You don't need approval to start. Simply install the app and refer any self help group to Group Connect and it's recorded under your name. If you also want to be listed as a verified trainer on our website and app — visible to groups and federations looking for help — you can register your profile for verification.
Every groups needs someone to guide them
Thousands of self help groups are ready to move from paper registers to a digital system, but most need a helping hand — someone to explain the app, train the members, and carry forward years of old records into it. That's where affiliates come in, and it's an opportunity that grows as more groups go digital.
Ways to earn as a Group Connect Affiliate
Training & Data Entry Income
Introduce Group Connect to an SHG, train its members to use the app, and get paid directly by the group for entering their retrospective meeting, savings and loan records.
Verified Trainer Listing
Register your profile to get verified and listed as an Authorized Trainer on the Group Connect website and app, increasing your visibility to groups looking for help.
Marketing & Training Materials
Authorized affiliates receive ready-to-use marketing material and structured training to confidently introduce and train SHGs.
Referral Tracking
Every SHG you introduce to Group Connect is recorded under your name. Commission on paid-plan purchases is coming soon.
Reputation-Based Growth
SHGs can review and give feedback on your training. Well-reviewed affiliates get recommended to more individual groups, and even federations, for further training opportunities.
Work On Your Own Terms
Take on as many or as few groups as you like, in your own area, on your own schedule — a flexible way to earn while supporting your community.
Training and data entry — paid directly by the group you help
As an affiliate, you introduce Group Connect to an SHG and train its members — office bearers and general members alike — on how to use the app for meetings, savings, loans and reports.
You also help the group enter their retrospective data, bringing months or years of paper registers into the app. Since you work directly with the group, payment for this work is collected directly by you from the group — Group Connect does not fix or control this rate, but affiliates can reach out to us for guidance on fair rates.
Every referral is tracked under your name
Whenever you introduce a new self help group to Group Connect, it's recorded against your affiliate profile automatically — so your work is never invisible, even before commissions begin.
We are working on introducing a referral commission for paid plan purchases soon. Affiliates who refer groups now will already have their referral history on record when this goes live.
Good work gets you recommended for more
When an SHG shares feedback on the training and support you've provided, that reputation follows you. Groups and federations often ask Group Connect for a trusted trainer in their area.
The better your track record, the more likely we are to recommend you — to other individual groups, and eventually to federations such as ADS and CDS units — opening the door to more training opportunities over time.
