How do you run your referral leads if you are a small business/freelancer online?

Question

Hi, so i'm a UK freelance photographer and I have pre-set photography events (services) on Ticket Tailor platform. Leads and bookings have been a bit slow lately and so I am wanting to offer a suggested 10% commission for every lead that gets me a booking. My bookings start from £99 up to £100s. So there is potential for referrers to make some cash.

If anyone already has this set up, any advice to give would be super helpful. I have already got my Google Sheets set up with the data I need to collect from booked orders

My next phase is finding referrers:
I am thinking designing

  1. A basic incentive referral sign up splash page/registration page
  2. A terms and conditions agreement page

I'm wondering if people would be put off by not having a 'log in' area to check their referral leads status? I would to start issue monthly exported reports from Ticket Tailor showing all bookings and their referral codes and pay out commissions appropriately based on the Total cost received.

Is there anything I'm missing for my set up?
