Affiliate Program

Earn credits by inviting other members who become paying users.

4 min read Subscriptions & Credits

The affiliate program pays ongoing credits when members you refer become paying users — not just one-time signup credit.

  1. Apply from Settings → Affiliate Program
  2. Get approved (typically same-day)
  3. Share your affiliate link
  4. Earn ongoing credits from referred paying users

How it's different from regular referrals

Regular referrals pay a one-time credit when a new member posts their first listing. The affiliate program pays an ongoing share of subscription revenue from members you bring in who become paying users.

Applying

Open the affiliate settings page and complete the short application. We review most within one business day. Approval is required to prevent spam.

Rules

  • No paid search ads on our trademark.
