# Become an Earth Care Network ambassador

> Grow the regenerative economy by bringing mission-aligned businesses into Earth Care Network — and earn for the businesses you help thrive.

As an Earth Care Network ambassador, you do something simple and meaningful: you find
regenerative businesses that belong in the network, help their owners get set up, and
earn when they grow. You're a connector for the regenerative economy — and ECN gives
you AI to do it well.

## What an ambassador actually does

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find aligned businesses">
    Regenerative farms, green builders, zero-waste shops, eco-lodges, solar installers,
    mission-driven brands — businesses living the values ECN exists for, that aren't in
    the directory yet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a real conversation">
    Reach out to the owner with genuine interest in their work — not a pitch. The
    [conversation playbook](/ambassadors/conversations) gives you openers and
    thought-joggers for every type of business.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite them to claim their listing">
    Getting listed and claiming a profile is **free** for the business. You (with AI
    help) send a personalized, reviewed invite to claim it — see [Earn with AI](/ambassadors/earn-with-ai).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Earn as they grow">
    When a business you referred joins and grows, you earn commission. [How you get paid](/ambassadors/getting-paid).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The right way to do this

Ambassadorship runs on trust and shared value. The honest way is also the way that pays:

* **Refer businesses that genuinely fit.** AI helps you assess fit before you reach out,
  so you bring in businesses that will actually thrive — not anyone with a pulse.
* **Lead with their interest, not your commission.** You're helping a business you
  believe in get found. The commission follows; it isn't the opener.
* **Always disclose** you're an ECN ambassador. Trust compounds; spam burns out.
* **Quality over volume.** One aligned business that stays and grows beats fifty that bounce.

<Note>
  Misleading, spammy, or self-referral behavior voids commissions and can suspend your
  account. This is a program for connectors, not list-blasters.
