Affiliate program
The Nostimates affiliate program
The Nostimates affiliate program pays 30% recurring commission for 12 months on every paying account you refer. Signup is self-serve through FirstPromoter, attribution is last-click on a 60-day cookie, and payouts run monthly once your approved balance passes $50.
How it works
From first click to first payout
1. Sign up in FirstPromoter
Create a partner account, accept the terms and get your link instantly. No interview, no waiting list. We review accounts after the first referral, not before your first click.
2. Share your link
Drop it in comparison pages, tool round-ups, client onboarding docs, conference decks or a newsletter. FirstPromoter gives you sub-IDs so you can tell which placement actually worked.
3. We track the click
A visitor who lands with your ref parameter is cookied for 60 days. When they book access and convert to a paid plan, the account is attributed to you on last click.
4. Commission accrues and pays out
You earn 30% of every invoice that account pays for 12 months. Commission clears after a 45-day refund window and is paid on the 15th of the following month via PayPal or Wise.

Why the commission is recurring, not one-off
A bounty pays you once for a signup and then makes churn our problem alone. We would rather you care whether the account sticks, so commission follows the subscription for a full year and disappears if the customer leaves.
That also changes who you should send. Nostimates is best fit for teams that will genuinely use it — brand and marketing teams, in-house SEO, and agencies tracking AI visibility for real, whether through the dashboard or the API — not a curious click-around. A well-qualified account on the $800 plan is worth $2,880 to you over twelve months; five mismatched signups that churn in month two are worth almost nothing.
We run the program on FirstPromoter rather than a homegrown script so attribution, sub-ID reporting and payouts are auditable from your side, not just ours.

Answers
Affiliates program FAQ
How much can I earn as a Nostimates affiliate?
30% of net subscription revenue for the first 12 months of each referred account. Plans run from $100 to $1,800 a month, so a single referral is worth roughly $360 to $6,480 over a year.
How long does the referral cookie last?
60 days, last-click attribution. If the visitor returns through another partner's link inside that window, the most recent click takes the commission.
When do I get paid?
Commission clears after a 45-day refund window and is paid on the 15th of the following month, via PayPal or Wise, once your approved balance is at least $50.
Can I refer my own agency's subscription?
No. Self-referrals are excluded. If you want a discount on your own usage, talk to us directly instead.
What tool do you use for affiliate tracking?
FirstPromoter. You get your own dashboard for links, sub-IDs, clicks, conversions, approved commission and payout history.
Is the affiliate program different from the creator program?
Yes. Affiliates get a higher rate (30%) and instant self-serve access. Creators get 25% plus a monthly allowance of free research credits for original research, and are approved individually.
