FAQ
No, joining the affiliate program is completely free. You can sign up and start earning commissions without any upfront costs.
We welcome individuals and brands with websites, blogs, social media accounts, or other online platforms with an established audience that aligns or intersects with the self-management movement.
You need to adhere to ethical marketing practices. If you are involved in any deceptive tactics that aim to manipulate search engines or visitors, you are not welcome in our affiliate program. More generally, you need to accept our terms and conditions.
Commissions are tracked and earned on subscriptions to the Self-Management Accelerator. For every customer you refer, you will receive 20% of their subscription cost for the entire duration of their subscription*. There is no limit to the number of customers you can refer, and therefore no cap on the commissions you can earn.
* You keep earning commissions on the lifetime of the referred customers’ subscriptions as long as you are still actively promoting the SMA. See terms and conditions for details.
Payments are made quarterly through PayPal, so you’ll need a PayPal account to receive your commissions.
Please note: there is a 30-day delay between the time of purchase and when the commission is credited to your affiliate account. This delay accounts for any potential payment reversals from customers who dispute the charge.
Quarterly payments will include commissions that have already been credited (i.e., have passed the 30-day pending period) by the time the payment is issued.
Yes, there is a minimum payment threshold of $49 that affiliates must reach before they can receive payouts. This threshold is in place to avoid an excessive amount of administrative work, as payments are currently processed manually.
If you were to leave the Affiliate Program before reaching this threshold, we send you your commissions before closing your account.
Once you join the affiliate program, you will receive unique affiliate links to share with your audience. When someone clicks on your link, a cookie is placed on their browser. If they purchase a subscription to the Self-Management Accelerator from the same browser, we can attribute the sale to you through that cookie.
Technical details:
- The cookie remains active for 60 days and will refresh its expiration if the affiliate link is clicked again during that period.
- Important: Tracking only works if the purchase is made using the same browser where the cookie is stored. Purchases made using a different browser or device won’t be tracked. Additionally, if the browser is set to reject cookies, the purchase won’t be tracked.
- We use the “Last cookie rule,” meaning if a user clicks multiple affiliate links, the commission will go to the affiliate associated with the most recent link used before the purchase.
Once you join our affiliate program, you will be invited to our Affiliate Hub on the SMA. On our Affiliate Hub, you will find resources known as “swipe copy” (banners, social media graphics, product images, and marketing materials) to help you promote effectively.
You will also get access to your Affiliate Dashboard, where you can track your affiliate commissions.
