Emerge Ambassador Program
Become an Emerge Ambassador
Small businesses grow when more people know they exist. As an Emerge Ambassador, you help local business owners get discovered — sharing their stories, connecting them with new customers, and pointing your community toward the resources that help them thrive.
“One of the things that gives me a real sense of accomplishment is giving people a platform to grow their businesses. This is what I do.”
— Brian Joubert, L&B Tax Service / Survival Radio Network, featured in Emerge MagazineWhy Become an Ambassador?
Ambassadors are Emerge’s biggest champions — small business owners, community leaders, and supporters who help spread the word. Here’s what’s in it for you.
Free Business Membership
Approved ambassadors receive a complimentary Business-tier membership (a $200/yr value) for as long as they’re active, including a resource directory listing and every other Business-tier benefit.
Your Own Referral Link
Every ambassador gets a personal referral link to share with their network — an easy way to point people straight to Emerge.
Earn 15% Commission
You earn 15% on everything people purchase through your referral link — memberships, magazine issues, and more — for as long as they stay a member.
Recognition & Community
Get featured as an Emerge Ambassador across our platform and connect with other small business advocates who care about lifting each other up.

What We Ask of Our Ambassadors
Being an Emerge Ambassador is a partnership. In exchange for your free membership and referral link, we ask ambassadors to:
- ✓ Share Emerge content — the magazine, radio show, and events — with your network on a regular basis.
- ✓ Actively use and share your personal referral link with small business owners who’d benefit from Emerge.
- ✓ Represent Emerge positively in your community and online.
- ✓ Let us know about small businesses, events, or partnership opportunities Emerge should be aware of.
- ✓ Stay engaged — ambassadors who go inactive for an extended period may be moved off the program so we can invest in active members.
