Turn your audience into recurring income.

Most applications are auto-approved within minutes if they pass our quality filter (real email, real company URL, real promotion plan). Applications that require manual review are processed within 48 hours by Gevie, our affiliate program manager.

Monthly on the 15th, for commissions earned in the prior month. Minimum payout is $100; balances below threshold roll forward. Payouts processed via Tipalti — direct deposit, PayPal, debit card for US affiliates; international ACH, PayPal, debit card for international affiliates. Tax forms (W-9 or W-8BEN) collected automatically during Tipalti onboarding.

The Founding Affiliates cohort is limited to 25 seats and closes once filled. Inside the cohort, your first 10 commissionable charges pay 20%. From charge 11 onward, every charge pays 50% — lifetime, no time limit, no resets. Once you're in, you're locked in at 50% on every charge going forward.

Yes. If you refer another affiliate to the program, you earn a 5% override on every sale they close — across all products (Pro, Scale, Enterprise), lifetime, paid out alongside your own commissions. This is perfect for VAs, BDRs, sourcers, or anyone in your network who connects us with operators who'd be a fit but won't promote us directly themselves.

Two ways to earn. Direct referrals (Tier 1): you bring us paying customers — you earn 20% on the first 10 commissionable charges, then 50% lifetime. Affiliate override (Tier 2): you introduce another affiliate to the program, and you earn 5% on every sale they close. You can do both: promote the product directly and introduce other affiliates to the program. They stack.

If a referred customer cancels within 60 days of their first paid invoice, the commission is reversed and deducted from your next payout. After day 60, commissions are locked — even if the customer eventually churns. The 60-day window exists so we both have skin in the game on customer fit.

Last-click attribution with a 90-day cookie window across all products. The most recent affiliate link clicked before signup gets credit. Commission posts when the customer's first invoice is successfully charged (not at trial signup). Self-referrals are blocked — you can't sign up using your own link.

Pro subscriptions ($99/mo), Scale subscriptions ($249/mo), and Enterprise (starting at $799/mo, sales-assisted). Excluded from commission: Lead Credit packs, the Conversation AI add-on, and the Active Listening add-on. Any future add-ons default to excluded unless we explicitly designate them commissionable.

No. Bidding on "SocialMedia DMs," "SocialMediaDMs," "Social Media DMs," our trademarks, or close variants (including common misspellings) is prohibited and results in termination from the program. Everything else — organic content, social posts, email, podcasts, paid ads on non-brand keywords — is fair game.

Yes — and we make it easy. The portal has FTC-compliant disclosure templates for every channel (IG, email, podcast, blog, video). Required by US law and good practice everywhere. Audiences who feel respected convert better anyway.

At launch we support US, UK, Canada, Australia, EU member states, and the Philippines. If your country isn't supported yet, drop a note to affiliates at socialmediadms.com — we're expanding as our payout infrastructure matures.

Yes. Many of our best affiliates are customers themselves. You just can't sign up for the product using your own affiliate link (self-referrals are blocked). Buy as a normal customer through the standard signup flow.
