On Monday, Google announced a new “Google Apps Referral Program,” wherein users will receive a $15 referral bonus for each new Google Apps user they refer.¹ The new program looks to build on the organic growth of Google Apps, based on user recommendations and referrals that are already happening:

Many of the millions of Google Apps customers learned about tools like Hangouts, Drive and Gmail for business from their customers, friends and networks. To help continue the momentum, we’re launching the Google Apps Referral Program.²

If you are not familiar with the Google Apps Suite, here is what the company says about it:

Google Apps is a cloud-based productivity suite that helps you and your team connect and get work done from anywhere on any device. It’s simple to setup, use and manage, allowing you to work smarter and focus on what really matters.

Essentially, the apps suite boils down to 6 main products: Gmail – the apps suite allows you to make custom addresses like yourname@yourdomain.com; Google Calendar; Drive – Google’s cloud storage offering; Docs – Sort of a Microsoft Word in the cloud; Sheets – excel in the cloud; Slides – Powerpoint in the cloud. These are the main products, but there are plenty more.
