[Hashnode Headless CMS](https://hashnode.com/headless) is a way for developers and large teams to use Hashnode as a Backend while still enjoying Hashnode's hosted publishing workflow. Our Markdown-powered WYSIWYG editor, publishing workflow (scheduling, approving and rejecting articles from team members), analytics and GitHub backup has always been the main attraction of the platform. Now, you can use all these wonderful features while taking full control of your blog frontend via Hashnode Headless CMS.

Hashnode Headless CMS is free to use for individual developers and requires an [Enterprise license](https://hashnode.com/headless#pricing) for teams and enterprises to use in production.

With this, we're excited to introduce the [**Hashnode's Referral Program**](https://hashnode.com/headless/referral?source=hashnode-footer) — an initiative that will get you rewarded every time you help an enterprise or a team switch to Hashnode Headless CMS. Putting our proud community to work. 💪

## So, what is the referral program?

The [Hashnode referral program](https://hashnode.com/headless/referral) is a unique opportunity to earn while advocating for [Hashnode Headless CMS](https://hashnode.com/headless). Pitch Hashnode Headless CMS within your company, among peers, or at conferences and meetings. Each time a company/team signs up for a Hashnode Enterprise license through your referral, you receive **$500**. It's our way of thanking you for spreading the word about Hashnode's capabilities and growing with our community.

Here's how it works:

1. Find a team in your network in need of a purpose-built Headless CMS for their blogging. *Psst - your current employer might need this as well. ;)*
    
2. Connect us with a decision-maker at the enterprise [via email](mailto:sales@hashnode.com?subject=Referring%20%3Ccompany_name%3E%20to%20try%20Hashnode%20Headless%20CMS&body=Introduce%20the%20company%20to%20the%20Hashnode%27s%20team.). Also include relevant contact details and a brief explanation of why you believe Hashnode Headless CMS would be a good fit for them.
    
3. As soon as the introduction is done, our team gets on a call with the company and demoes Hashnode Headless CMS.
    
4. Once they purchase a Hashnode license, one of our team members reaches out to you for the $500 reward.

## The Why!

[Hashnode Headless CMS](https://hashnode.com/headless?source=CMSblog) is a purpose-built Headless CMS that empowers large teams and enterprises to build a blog frontend from the ground up using Hashnode's GraphQL APIs while using Hashnode's publishing workflow and dashboard as the backend.
