What Grapevines is
Grapevines is a B2B referral marketplace where you earn commissions by recommending a company's products. The model is simple: you upload LinkedIn contacts, and the platform sends personalized referral messages to them. When one of those contacts becomes a customer, you receive a percentage of the contract amount. The service also handles invoicing and international payments for you, so you are not stuck managing cross-border billing yourself. The pitch is direct, summed up in the line about not promoting companies for free anymore. Core actions on the platform include uploading contacts, sending automated messages, submitting referrals, and receiving commissions, and joining to refer is offered for free.
What you can do with it
- Upload LinkedIn contacts you want to reach.
- Send personalized referral messages through automation.
- Submit referrals and track which contacts convert.
- Receive a percentage of the contract when a referral becomes a customer.
Who it is for
- Professionals with a large, relevant LinkedIn network.
- People who already recommend products and want to earn from it.
- Connectors who can introduce buyers to useful services.
What to watch out for
Your income depends on your contacts actually converting, so a big list does not guarantee payouts. Automated outreach can feel spammy if it is not handled with care, so keep messages personal and respect the people you contact. Commission rules, available programs, and free access can change over time, so confirm the current terms. Because it works through LinkedIn, be mindful of that platform's rules on messaging and data, and only upload contacts you have a right to reach. Start with a small sample to confirm the output meets your expectations before processing the full batch.
