Earn 30% on every payment your referrals make.
One lifetime sale pays once. The hosting customer that comes after pays every month they stay. Stack a few of each and you have real recurring income on top of whatever else you do.
What does 25 referrals look like?
Model a single campaign — one post, one launch, one outreach push — that brings a specific number of lifetime customers in. Most of them later add a hosting plan once they're running real volume. The right slider is what share do.
Three steps, no paperwork.
No application form, no review queue, no "approved partner" status. The link is in your dashboard the second you sign up.
Grab your link
Sign up free, copy your link from the affiliate tab. No application, no approval queue — it's live the moment your account exists.
Share it where it fits
Blog post, YouTube description, newsletter footer, agency proposal, "powered by" footer of your own tenant platform. 90-day cookie — they don't have to buy today.
Get paid
30% of every payment lands as pending the moment your referral pays. Confirmed at 60 days (refund window). Request a payout anytime — no minimum.
Three audiences that convert.
Not every audience makes sense for a whitelabel short-link platform. These three do, repeatedly.
Agencies + freelancers
Your clients already need branded short links and QR codes. Sell them the platform with your "powered by" footer carrying your affiliate code. Passive, every month.
- Onboard a client → lifetime + hosting
- Both pay you 30%
- Footer keeps earning per click
Creators with an audience
If you write about marketing, SEO, building a SaaS, or running a small business — Linked.Codes fits the post. Newsletter, YouTube, blog, podcast: link in description, done.
- One post can refer for years
- 90-day cookie catches the slow-converters
- Hosting subs compound month over month
Niche communities
Discord servers, Slack groups, paid communities, indie founder circles. People asking "what do you use for X" are pre-qualified — a quick honest mention beats a banner.
- Pinned recommendation + link
- Higher conversion than cold traffic
- Hosting tier matches the audience's scale
Stack the months. Watch year 5.
A single campaign tops out at one batch of customers. Steady monthly referrals compound — last month's hosting subs are still paying you while this month's join the queue. Drag the slider to your realistic monthly pace. Default is four a month: a couple of decent blog posts, a newsletter mention, a tweet that catches.
Cumulative earnings at the end of each year — every month you bring 4 new lifetime customers, 50% upgrade to hosting at the average tier. No churn assumed; reality has some. Treat year 5 as upper-end, not a guarantee.
Common questions
How and when do I get paid?+
Commissions enter pending the moment your referral pays. After 60 days (refund + chargeback window) they move to confirmed and become payable. Request a payout from your account whenever you want — no minimum balance required. Payouts go out via PayPal within a few business days.
How long does the cookie last?+
90 days. Last-click wins — if a visitor later clicks a different affiliate's link, that person gets the credit instead. We check at signup time, so the cookie still has to be present in the visitor's browser when they create the account.
Is hosting commission really recurring?+
Yes. Every monthly hosting payment your referral makes earns you 30%, for as long as they stay subscribed. Lifetime is one-time but the same customer often grabs hosting too — that one keeps paying you every month.
Can I refer myself?+
No. Self-referrals are blocked at signup. We check the cookie against your own affiliate user id and matching attribution is dropped silently.
What if my customer cancels or refunds?+
If they refund or charge back within the 60-day pending window, the commission is reversed before it ever reaches you. After 60 days the commission is confirmed and yours to keep — though if hosting cancels later, you stop earning new commissions on it from that day on.
What can't I do?+
The rules are short:
- No paid-search bidding on our brand name (Linked.Codes, "linked codes", linkedcodes.com, etc.) or close variants.
- No spam — no scraped lists, no posting in irrelevant communities, no DM blasts.
- No misleading claims about features, pricing, or earnings.
- No coupon-site or cashback-site abuse (intercepting our own organic traffic).
- No incentivising signups with cash kickbacks to your referrals (the program is for genuine referrals, not paid clicks).
Breaching these voids any pending commissions and may close your affiliate account. Honest sharing on your blog, podcast, social, newsletter, and the "Powered by" footer of your own platform is all fair game and encouraged.
Is there tax / paperwork?+
You're responsible for declaring the income in your country. We don't currently issue 1099s or equivalent forms. If your local rules require an invoice from you to us before we can pay, send it as a PDF in the "Notes for admin" field on the payout request.
How do I share it without sounding salesy?+
Just be honest. Tell people what Linked.Codes is, link your affiliate URL, and let the product do the talking. The "Powered by" footer on your own tenant platforms automatically uses your affiliate code if you've set one up — passive earning while you focus on building.
