Sanity check
Send 10 paying customers a month. Mix of plans: $1,500 to $4,500 in your Stripe account.
A 5,000-reader newsletter at a 0.5% click-to-paid conversion rate clears the top of that range every send.
The fit is built in: your audience already needs this.
Founders already trust Claude
Every serious early-stage founder uses Claude.ai daily. You're recommending a tool built ON the API they already trust, not a random SaaS.
$297 to $1,497 price points
Premium pricing means meaningful commission per conversion. 30% of $1,497 is $449. Two of those per month covers a year of your newsletter hosting.
Real value, real outcomes
840 founders closed in the last 90 days. The product works, founders come back to thank you. Lower churn = lower clawbacks = more sleep.
Everything creators ask before they apply.
›Who gets approved?
Real creators with a real audience. Newsletter writers, YouTube channels, X authors over 2,000 followers, podcasters, founder-community operators, and people running cohort programs. We review applications within 24 hours during business days. You don't need a huge audience, you need a real audience that overlaps with early-stage founders.
›What's the commission rate?
30% one-time on the first paid checkout. Solo ($297) pays you $89. Campaign ($697) pays you $209. Co-Pilot ($1,497) pays you $449. No recurring commission (the plans are one-time payments themselves), no commission stacking on multiple purchases by the same customer.
›How is attribution tracked?
Your unique link sets a first-party httpOnly cookie that survives 90 days. First-touch wins, so if a visitor lands via your link, then comes back later via someone else's link, you still get credit for that signup. We do NOT use third-party cookies, fingerprinting, or any of the shady tracking that Safari/Firefox block.
›Why a 30-day clawback window?
Because some customers refund within 30 days, and we don't want to pay a commission on revenue we have to give back. Your dashboard shows pending earnings with the exact unlock date. After 30 days, the commission is yours regardless of what the customer does later (chargebacks 60+ days out are extremely rare and we eat them).
›How do payouts work?
Stripe Connect Express. You complete a 3-minute KYC flow on Stripe's side (banking, tax form). After your first $50 unlocks, you click 'Withdraw' and Stripe transfers the money to your bank, typically 2-3 business days. Stripe issues your 1099/W-8BEN automatically at year-end. We never touch your banking details.
›Can I use paid ads?
Yes, except bidding on our brand keywords ('claude fundraiser', 'claude.fundraiser', 'claudefundraiser') or trademark variants. Those clicks would have come to us anyway and we don't want to pay commission to redirect existing demand. Everything else (Twitter ads, Reddit ads, Meta ads, LinkedIn ads, content syndication) is fair game.
›Can I refer myself?
No. The platform auto-blocks self-attribution (your own user_id can't be tied to your own affiliate_id). Same-household / same-IP signups within 24 hours of your application date are also flagged and reviewed.
›What if I want to stop?
Pause your account from the dashboard. Existing pending and approved commissions still pay out. Reactivate any time. We never expire affiliate accounts.
