* Commission earnings assume 30% of the referred subscriber's average monthly plan value (Creators: $19/mo; Marketers: $49/mo). Monthly earnings grow because commissions are recurring: each new cohort of referrals stacks on top of prior months. Estimates are illustrative; actual results depend on audience engagement and conversion. Commission applies for 3 years per referral.

Common questions

When do I get paid?
Affiliate commissions are paid out monthly, typically within the first week of the following month. Sponsored post payments are processed within 14 days of the post going live and impression data being confirmed. Reach out if you have specific payout preferences.
How is my referral tracked?
You'll receive a unique referral link tied to your account. Any signup that comes through your link within the attribution window is credited to you. We use a 60-day cookie plus email-based attribution, so even delayed conversions count.
Can I combine affiliate + sponsored posts?
Yes, and we encourage it. Many partners include their affiliate link in sponsored posts, earning both the sponsored post payment and any commissions from resulting signups. Both income streams stack.
What counts as an impression for sponsored posts?
We use the impression count reported by LinkedIn's native analytics on the sponsored post(s). We'll agree on a reporting method before any campaign goes live, so there's no ambiguity. Screenshots or analytics exports work fine.
Is there a minimum audience size to apply?
No minimum for the affiliate program: if your audience is engaged, the size doesn't matter. For sponsored posts, the economics work better with larger audiences, but we're open to discussing based on engagement quality. Send us a note and we'll be straightforward with you.
