Sidekick Network

Do the HubSpot Work You Love.
We'll Bring the Clients.

Tired of the feast-or-famine pipeline? The Sidekick Network is a small, vetted group of independent HubSpot specialists we bring into client work. We handle the selling, the scoping and the client relationship, and you keep your own business, your own brand and your own clients.

The Short VersionNow Accepting
  • No fees to join, ever

  • You set your rate, paid net 30
  • Backed by a HubSpot Platinum Solutions Partner
How It Works

How the Network Works

We do the part most independents hate. You do the part you're great at. And if HubSpot's 2026 partner program changes left you without partner status, you'll still work on projects backed by a Platinum Solutions Partner.

01

We Find and Scope the Work

Sidekick sells the engagement, scopes it and owns the client relationship. No more chasing leads or writing proposals that go nowhere.

02

We Match You to the Right Project

We bring you in when a project fits your hubs, your skills and your availability. Every project is an offer, never an obligation.

03

You Do the Work Your Way

You're an independent business. You decide how and when the work gets done. We review deliverables, not your calendar.

04

You Get Paid on Clear Terms

You set your desired rate, every project has a written agreement, and you invoice from your own business. We pay net 30, whether or not the client has paid us yet.

The Bar

How We Vet

A small network only works if the bar is high. Here's every step, so you know exactly what to expect.

01

Apply

Tell us about your HubSpot experience, your certifications and the work you want to do.

02

Screen

We check your certifications and samples, and confirm we can work together where you're based.

03

Talk Shop

A real conversation where you walk us through something you built in a real HubSpot portal.

04

Paid Trial

A small, real project at your rate. It's the best way for both of us to see the fit.

05

You're In

Agreement signed, profile built, and you're on the list for projects that match.

Apply

Apply to the Sidekick Network

Takes about ten minutes. We never ask for your tax ID or bank details here; that happens later, in a secure payment platform, only if you're accepted.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked About the Sidekick Network

Do I have to pay anything to join?
No. Never. There are no membership, listing or placement fees. Sidekick pays you for the work you do.
Will I have to use a Sidekick email address?
No. You use your own email and keep your own brand. You're an independent specialist working with Sidekick, not an employee.
Can I keep my own clients?
Yes. Your clients are yours, and we'll never go after them. The only rule: if Sidekick introduces you to a client, you agree not to work with that client directly for 12 months after your last project with them. Every other client in the world is fair game.
Who sets my rate?
You do. Tell us your desired hourly rate when you apply. We'll talk it through before any project starts, and it's in writing every time. You invoice us, and we pay net 30, even if the client hasn't paid us yet.
Am I a contractor or an employee?
An independent contractor. You run your own business, set your own hours and methods, and use your own tools. If you're US-based, you'll get a 1099 and need a W-9 on file once you're accepted.
Why can't I apply from California, Massachusetts or New Jersey?
Those states have contractor rules we want to get exactly right before we work with anyone there. We hope to open them soon.
Do you accept specialists outside the United States?
Yes, apply and tell us where you're based. International paperwork is a little different, and we'll walk you through it if there's a fit.
What happens after I apply?
You'll get a confirmation email right away. We review every application personally and reply either way. If there's a fit, the next steps are a conversation, then a paid trial at your rate.
