How to grow RevShare with Astro referral promotion tactics

The Astro proxy referral program lets you earn lifetime RevShare by bringing teams that regularly buy residential and mobile proxies for real production workflows, not one-off tests. The referral program works best when your link is tied to a specific use case where proxy usage is ongoing.

What is the Astro referral program?

The Astro referral program is based on the RevShare model, which means revenue sharing. Unlike one-time bonuses offered by most providers, RevShare gives you a fixed percentage from every purchase your referrals make. There are no time limits or payout caps. As long as your referrals keep buying proxies, you keep earning.

The commission is triggered by traffic usage. You are paid only after your referrals have used the traffic they purchased, not when they top up their balance or buy ports. This ensures you earn from actual proxy usage. 

Commission tiers:

• 10%: up to 10 active referrals
• 12%: 10–15 active referrals
• 15%: more than 15 active referrals

An active referral means a user who registered through your referral link and topped up their balance at least once in the last 60 days. Inactive referrals don't count toward your tier.

Minimum withdrawal: $50.

Now that you know how the program works, here are tactics to grow your referral program income.

How to turn clicks into active referrals

You can promote your referral link anywhere, but it converts best in contexts where people are already looking for proxy solutions. Astro fits use cases with ongoing traffic consumption: AI and ML data collection, web scraping pipelines, ad verification, multi-account management, SEO monitoring, market research, etc. 

Look for referrals among teams and freelancers who need proxies for these use cases. They have recurring traffic needs, which means recurring commissions for you.

Instead of mass-posting your link, place it where people compare proxy providers and need decision-making context: tech communities, setup guides, and tool reviews. Features like SOCKS5 / HTTP(S) protocols and city-level geo-targeting give you concrete, practical details that you can include in your posts and messages. 

Start with the right hook

Your referral link works best with a short, clear pitch right next to it across posts, landing pages, emails, and video descriptions. Describe what Astro is and why your referrals need to take advantage of it: enterprise proxy infrastructure with a 50M IP pool across 100+ countries, ethical whitelisted IPs with KYC and AML compliance, and flexible controls like IP rotation on a timer, a new IP address for each new connection, or manual IP rotation via link or dashboard button.

Tailor the message to your audience. If they need device-level routing, mention that Astro’s proxies support seamless integration with OpenVPN via a configuration file. If price matters, note that traffic starts from 100 MB ($0.37 for datacenter, $0.73 for residential, $1.31 for mobile).    

Turn discounts, promo codes, and trials into action

Give people a reason to start now; explain that they can reduce their proxy costs with a bulk order and balance top-up discounts. 

• Bulk order discount (2–20%) is applied automatically at checkout based on traffic volume or number of ports. 
• Cumulative discount (10–25%) depends on total account top-ups over 30 days: 10% when top-ups exceed $188, up to 25% at $2000+. 

If you have a promo code, share it alongside your referral link to give your audience an extra reason to sign up. Pair that with a $3 trial credit to test any proxy configuration, making it easy to get started. This framing fits our referral program especially well.

Focus on B2B clients

Use one compact line: cumulative discounts, priority support daily from 10:00 to 02:00 (GMT+4) via the Astro Support Team, personal manager, and simplified verification that takes 3 to 5 minutes. For teams, this turns Astro into a trusted proxy website for repeatable procurement, not a one-off purchase.

Use these Astro trust points in your content

When promoting your referral link, these trust points give potential referrals solid reasons to choose Astro. Each point addresses a real concern that proxy buyers evaluate when comparing providers. So here’s why Astro stands out among other proxy providers:

• Ethical, whitelisted IPs: All IP addresses are sourced with user consent and KYC and AML compliance plus AI-based traffic analysis. Most providers don't mention that their IPs are altogether whitelisted, ethical, and pre-selected, which creates quality risks for users.
• VPN-compatible proxies: Astro’s proxies support seamless integration with OpenVPN via a configuration file, allowing users to route all device traffic through a proxy without configuring each application separately. This matters for mobile automation and tools that don't expose proxy settings.
• Up to 250 concurrent TCP connections per port: High-volume scraping and multi-threaded automation require connection capacity. Astro’s number of parallel TCP sessions covers most production workloads without needing extra ports.
• Geo-targeting with multi-country grouping: Port grouping by multiple countries, with the option to include or exclude up to 10 regions, is great for users who need broad coverage but want to avoid specific locations.
• HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 protocols: Both protocols are available for all proxy types, switchable anytime.

Use these points in blog posts, comparison tables, and Q&A to differentiate Astro from competitors. For more ways to share your referral link, check out our referral program page.

Place your referral link in channels that scale

Use channels where your audience already searches for proxy providers and setup guides. Medium, Dev.to, Quora, Reddit, Discord, and niche forums work well because links there are part of the format. Put the referral link next to a specific use case, instead of dropping it randomly. This matters because most platforms have strict rules against link-bombing. Spamming links without context can get your account flagged. Always check community guidelines and make sure your link adds value to the discussion.

Promote proxies through targeted and contextual advertising

If you have an advertising budget, targeted and contextual ads allow you to scale referral acquisition faster.

Contextual advertising (Google Ads): set up campaigns for key queries like "buy mobile proxies," "residential proxies for scraping," "proxies for antidetect browser." Drive traffic to the main page with your referral link and Astro's benefits description.

Targeted advertising (Facebook Ads, LinkedIn Ads): show ads to developers, marketers, SEO specialists, e-commerce professionals, and arbitrage traders. Focus on their specific pain points: "stable proxies for scraping" or "ethical proxies for ad verification."

Choose the right placements that keep converting

Pinpoint the loops for technical audiences

If your audience builds tools, give them solutions they can reuse.

• Templates that get copied: Add a "setup recipe" section to your docs, a Notion quickstart, or a GitHub gist. Focus on specific stacks: Python + requests, Puppeteer, Selenium, or Scrapy configs with Astro's HTTP(S) / SOCKS5 endpoints. These small assets compound better than broad posts.
• Q&A distribution: Answer the same question about proxy setup in three places: a community thread, a Discord resources channel, and a Quora-style post. For example, "How to configure rotating proxies for web scraping" or "The best proxy settings for antidetect browsers". Maintain the structure while updating the examples. Good topics: "proxy setup for antidetect browser", "rotating IPs for scraping", and "mobile proxies for running many accounts".
• Use-case specific guides: Astro covers 10+ verticals: AI and ML data collection, SEO and GEO, e-commerce price monitoring, ad verification, cybersecurity, real estate, finance, and tourism. Pick one, and write a setup guide with your referral link. For example, "How to set up rotating proxies for price monitoring on Amazon" or "Configuring mobile proxies for multi-account management on Instagram". Step-by-step tutorials with screenshots and code snippets perform best.

Mention long-term partnerships and bundles

Partnerships work when you bundle outcomes, not features. Astro already integrates with major antidetect browsers. These partnerships have been running for years and signal a strong reputation in the market, giving Astro the status of a trusted proxy provider. Focus on this in your content.

• Existing integrations to mention: DuoPlus, AdsPower, Octo Browser, GoLogin, BitBrowser, Undetectable, GeeLark, CapSolver. You can find detailed setup guides for each partner tool in our Blog, where we regularly add useful materials, including articles about new partnerships.
  
  
• Publish integration notes for tools your audience already uses, including VPN tunnel mode routing.
  
  
• Run co-marketing activities:

• For team leads, mention proxy groups and controlled shared access to the management panel for verified accounts. Astro supports grouping proxies by project, which fits enterprise workflows.

These points make Astro's referral program the best to promote: you're offering an ethical proxy ecosystem with real integrations — Astro is not a proxy reseller. 

Reduce wasted clicks with a simple tracking setup

To get the most out of your referral link sharing, use these tips:

1. Add UTM tags per channel so you know what converts.
2. Make separate landing pages for SEO, e-commerce, and data pipelines.
3. Keep one CTA per placement: the trial flow or the referral page, never both.

Get your referral link and check commission tiers to start promoting. One guide that ranks or one Discord answer that gets saved will keep bringing signups for months, so there’s no need to post daily. But if you want to maximize your referral earnings, treat link sharing seriously: distribute your link wherever suitable and do it consistently.
