AFFILIATE PROGRAM
Earn 60% for three months, then 15% for life.
Send makers, shops, and machinists to Start Here and get paid every month they stay. No cost to apply, a human reviews every application, and once you’re in, every click is tracked to you.
THE MATH
Set your pace. See the payout.
Recurring commission compounds — the more customers you send who stick around, the more your monthly check grows on its own.
Estimate over 24 months. Assumes a referred customer stays ~18 months on average and keeps paying. Not a guarantee of earnings.

Questions
How much do I earn?
60% of what a customer pays for their first three months, then 15% of every payment after that for as long as they stay subscribed.
When do I get paid?
Commissions build up as a pending balance and pay out monthly by direct deposit, once they clear a short holding period and you've reached the $50 minimum.
Do I have to be a customer?
No. Anyone can apply, and you get paid whether or not you use Start Here yourself — we just want to know where you'd share it.
How are referrals tracked?
Your link sets a cookie that credits you for 90 days. If someone clicks it and subscribes within that window, the sale is attributed to you.
Is there a cost to join?
No — applying is free. We review each application and set approved affiliates up with a link and a dashboard.
