Send someone who will actually use it

They start with 10 credits. You get 20 when they make their first photograph.

Get your link

Most affiliate schemes pay for signups, which is why most affiliate links are spam. Somebody is paid for putting a link somewhere, whether or not the person who clicks it ever wanted the thing.

This pays when the person you sent makes their first photograph. That means there is nothing in it for posting the link everywhere, and there is quite a lot in it for sending it to the two people you know who are photographing their work on a kitchen table.

How it works

Your account has a link. Anyone who signs up through it is attributed to you, and stays attributed whether they sign up that afternoon or three weeks later.

When you get paid

When they finish their first generation. Once per person, however much they go on to make — this is a thank you for an introduction, not a commission on their spending.

Why credits and not money

A cash scheme needs a payout account per affiliate, a schedule, and tax reporting in every country somebody lives in — all of which we would be doing instead of building this. Credits cost us what a generation costs and are worth more to you than the equivalent euro: somebody recommending a product photography tool wants product photographs.
