Kai Stone: Stacking Affiliate Revenue at LevelUp 2026

TL;DR

Kai Stone will share how he runs systems inside contractor businesses and uses an affiliate program as a second revenue stream at LevelUp 2026. This is an upcoming conference presentation, not a platform feature update.

Who this affects

Go HighLevel agency owners and SaaS entrepreneurs interested in diversifying revenue streams will find this relevant. Those not attending LevelUp 2026 or not focused on affiliate models for client systems can safely ignore this specific announcement.

What changed

This is an announcement for an upcoming presentation, not a change to the HighLevel platform itself. Kai Stone will discuss:

• Stacking affiliate revenue on client systems.
• How he operates systems within contractor businesses.
• Using an affiliate program as an additional revenue stream.
• A breakdown of his two-part revenue model at LevelUp 2026.

LevelUp 2026 is scheduled for October 26 to 29 at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas. HighLevel has not confirmed any limits, plan gating, or rollout status related to this content, as it is a speaker session.

Where to find it

This content is a speaker session at LevelUp 2026, which will be held at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas. It is not a feature within the HighLevel product. HighLevel has not published a specific location for this session within the event schedule yet.

How agencies will use this

Agency owners can attend Kai Stone's session at LevelUp 2026 to learn about integrating affiliate programs into their service offerings. For example, an agency managing marketing for a contractor client might currently offer services like lead generation via HighLevel funnels and workflows. After this session, they could explore how to identify relevant affiliate products or services (e.g., industry-specific software, tools, or supplies) that their contractor clients already use or would benefit from. The agency could then implement a system within the client's HighLevel sub-account to recommend these affiliate products, potentially earning commissions. This creates a new, passive revenue stream for the agency, leveraging existing client relationships and HighLevel’s communication tools without requiring significant additional service delivery.

Our take

This is a minor update from a platform perspective, as it concerns an upcoming conference session rather than a product change. However, for agency owners looking to expand their business models, Kai Stone's presentation offers potential value. It’s a strategic topic that could introduce new ways to monetize client systems, making it relevant for those focused on business growth beyond core service fees. It does not require immediate action.
