60-day cookie — the longest in the category. Pay your first coffee with us in five minutes, then let it compound month after month as your referrals keep paying.
Slide the dials to size your upside. Every subscriber you refer pays you for up to twelve months — plus a $10 bounty the moment they upload their first photo, whether they end up subscribing or not. One Pro+ subscriber pays you $240 over a year. Ten pays you $2,400. A hundred — realistic for a 50K-follower creator sending consistent traffic — pays you roughly $24,000 in recurring commission plus $1,000 in activation bounties.
Everyone starts as an Affiliate. Cross 10K followers and you get an Ambassador upgrade. Cross 100K (or show strategic fit) and you are invited to the Insider Council.
We benchmarked the four programs your audience is probably already in. Here is what they actually pay vs what we do. No marketing fluff — real terms from each program's public affiliate page.

Adobe's 85% sounds bigger than ours until you do the math. Their payout is capped at month one, so a $54.99 Adobe subscription pays you $46.74 once — then nothing. Our $49.99 Pro+ subscription pays you $20 every month for a year: $240 total. Headline rates are a trap designed for affiliate directories and press releases. Lifetime value of the referral is what actually pays your rent, and it is the only number we optimize for. That is also why we added a $10 activation bounty on top — it covers our own product-led-growth CAC, and we would rather hand that budget to the creator who sent us the user than burn it on paid ads.
Four steps. Most people finish in under ten minutes. No calls, no contracts to sign, no waiting on account managers to reply. Approve, copy link, share, get paid — that is the whole loop.
Fill the form below. Approval is usually same-day — instant for the under-10K Affiliate tier.
Your dashboard unlocks with a personal link, a promo code, and the full creative pack — banners, emails, video cutdowns.
IG, TikTok, YouTube, email list, blog, Discord, DM. Track clicks, signups, and conversions live in the dashboard.
Monthly on the 15th via Stripe Express or PayPal. $50 minimum payout, unpaid balance rolls forward automatically.
You should not have to design banners to cash a commission check. Everything below ships inside the dashboard the moment you are approved.
Everything a creator team with a $2K/mo design retainer would build. We burned the hours so you don't have to. Rewritable in your voice, or ship the defaults as-is — affiliates who use the creative pack as-is convert 2.4x better on average than affiliates who hand-roll their own assets. Every banner is exported in light and dark, every video cutdown is captioned for silent autoplay, and every email is written to sound like a human friend rather than a brand. Drop 02 ships next quarter with holiday creative, and Insider Council members help pick the themes.
We opened the program to a small cohort in month one. Honest, modest numbers — we have only been paying commissions for a few weeks, and we would rather under-promise now than be one of those programs that publishes cherry-picked five-figure screenshots you will never see yourself.
