Annoucing The Affiliate Program

Posted on June 1st, 2009 by Chris Coyier

Last week while we were pushing out the redesign and some other things in front of and behind the curtain we also nudged out a new feature you will be interested in, an affiliate program!

Check out the details and sign up here.

Here are the important points:

  • You get a unique URL to use to link to us however you want to. There are custom graphics to use if you’d like to run traditional ads.
  • You earn 20% of any sale. Three different Premium Plans, 5 bucks, 10 bucks, or 15 bucks.
  • Anyone who signs up with your URL you earn money from. Even if the account is a FREE account, if that user EVER signs up for Premium, you earn money for the sale.
  • It’s not based on cookies or any other fragile client-side technology, it’s hard-baked right into our system.
  • We pay out instantly after any sale, no waiting.
  • You are helping us, so we want to help you. If you need totally custom graphics in special sizes, let us know. Whatever you need, this is beneficial to both of us so we want to help.

    Are you only doing payment via PayPal ?
    That would be a deal-breaker for me.

      It just makes it a ton easier for me to deal with, but if you have another payment method that would be better for you, let me know. I could conceivably see something like Google Checkout, but I won’t be cutting and sending checks or anything like that. Feel free to send a support request in.
