Why I joined the Greyd.Suite Creator Program, and why you should consider it too

Greyd designed their Creator Program for people like me

It’s for people who are already building advanced Full Site Editing based WordPress sites, solving real-world problems, and sharing what works.

The first thing I immediately liked about this program? It isn’t built for SEO listicles or churn-and-burn promotions. No one will stop someone from trying to use it that way, but Greyd.Suite isn’t that kind of tool anyway. It’s not a quick-fix plugin. It’s a serious framework for freelancers and teams building scalable, accessible websites, and that kind of power deserves real-world context from people who teach, explain, and show how things work.

How NOT to do affiliate marketing (and why this is different)

We’ve all clicked on content that was clearly written just to push a product, not to actually help. That kind of content leaves a bad taste. It’s usually opportunistic and non-informative, and it’s undoubtedly why so many thoughtful creators hesitate to join affiliate programs at all.

Even experienced developers, agency leads, and educators often feel uncomfortable. Not because they lack expertise, but because the word “affiliate” still carries baggage. It’s been misused, misunderstood, and frankly, misrepresented.

But I don’t think we should throw out the model entirely. We just need to do it differently. And Greyd does things differently, which is exactly why I joined their Creator Program.

Here’s what’s different: Greyd offers commissions ranging from $25 to $700 depending on the plan, with no payout threshold. Have you ever seen this kind of commission in a WordPress-related referral program? I haven’t. They’ve set their commissions this high because they recognize the value in professional content that actually helps others.

Why I support Greyd publicly (and why my recommendation matters)

Both the product and the team behind it are top-notch. I’ve been working with the team at Greyd as their external accessibility consultant and contractor. But I’m also a customer. I use Greyd.Suite because it solves real challenges, especially in accessibility, scalability, and multi-site management. My reputation and theirs are intertwined.

If you’ve followed my work, you know I write extensively about accessibility. Behind the scenes, I’ve also created dozens of tutorials about the WordPress Block Editor and Full Site Editing. Practical guides I originally wrote for clients and workshop participants.

I’m now publishing these tutorials publicly on geekonheels.com so they can help more people master modern WordPress workflows. They’re detailed, opinionated, and rooted in real use cases. And yes, they often feature Greyd.Suite, because that’s the tool I actually use when building custom, scalable, accessible websites.

Here’s the thing: When a company tells you their product is great, it’s marketing. When a creator shows you how they actually use it to solve real problems, that’s experience. That’s where trust begins. You’re not just getting a feature list. You’re getting all the context, the messy bits, the shortcuts, and the “here’s what I wish I’d known sooner” moments.

In fact, I create so much content, also on social media, featuring Greyd that I volunteered to become their first official Product Ambassador last year. Accessibility-first thinking is still rare in this space, and they’ve made it part of their foundation.

Becoming a part of the Creator Program was the natural next step. It allows me to keep doing what I already do. Create blog posts, tutorials, and talks, and get rewarded when that content helps others discover the tools I trust.

What the Creator Program offers (beyond commission)

The Greyd.Suite Creator Program treats contributors like partners, not promotional machines. Here’s what participants get:

Financial Benefits:

• Commission for every signup: $25 to $700 depending on the plan
• No payout threshold
• Transparent tracking and payments

Professional Support:

• Early access to new features
• Priority support for content and demo setup (they provide prefab installs you can customize to hit the ground running)
• Co-marketing opportunities (Greyd helps promote your content, not just the product)
• Regular office hours for brainstorming and support

Content Resources:

• Full demo installs that you can add your design to, so you can avoid the lorem ipsum pitfall
• Swipe copy, blog ideas, etc.
• Professional partnership approach that respects your voice and audience

It’s not a typical influencer setup. It’s a professional partnership, and that makes all the difference.

Should you join?

If you’re using Greyd.Suite for your projects (or testing it with their super extensive free version because you rock Full Site Editing anyway) and you’re sharing knowledge through blog posts, tutorials, talks, or training, I’d genuinely recommend looking into the Creator Program.

You don’t need:

• A massive audience
• To be a full-time content creator
• To change how you already create content

You do need:

• To care about what you’re doing
• To be willing to share knowledge with others
• To use (or be willing to learn) Greyd.Suite in your actual work

For me, this isn’t about adding links to earn a quick buck. It’s about building trust. When I recommend something, it’s because I use it extensively in my own work. I know how it performs, where it shines, and when someone signs up after seeing how I use it, I receive a commission at no cost to them.

That’s not advertising; it’s accountability. And I stand by it.

Or message me if you’d rather talk to someone already in the program. I’m happy to give you an honest look behind the scenes and answer any questions about how the program works in practice. If you have questions about how I disclose affiliate relationships or the reasons behind my recommendations, you’re always welcome to ask me directly.
