Earn by referring Brands & Agencies

50% of the platform fee we collect as campaigns funded by brands you referred pay out to creators. Our fee is 5% of the campaign budget, paid by the brand on top of that budget, so on a $10,000 campaign we collect $500 and you earn $250. It applies to open and direct campaigns alike.

We collect our fee a little at a time, each time a campaign pays a creator, and your share is set aside at that same moment. Our team reviews and releases it to your referral balance, and you withdraw from there to your Stripe payout account. Stripe collects your bank and tax details; we never store them.

For 12 months after the brand funds its first campaign. The clock starts at that first funding, not at signup. Any campaign funded inside the window earns for its whole life. Performance Collab may extend the window beyond 12 months at its own discretion.

The most recent referral link a visitor clicks in the 60 days before signing up gets the credit. Attribution is fixed once the account is created and never changes. People who already have a Performance Collab account can't be referred, and neither can accounts you own or control.

Brands and agencies that don't have a Performance Collab account yet: agencies running creator campaigns for clients, in-house marketing teams, founders, gaming studios, app developers. Existing accounts can't be referred, and neither can accounts you own or control.

No. Creators who sign up through your link are recorded as your referrals, but commission is paid on brands only, because the platform fee is charged to the brand funding the campaign.

Yes. Every affiliate has a brand or creator account. If you already have one, log in and open Referrals in your dashboard. If you don't, and you're a creator already working with brands, sign up as a creator first. Otherwise sign up as a brand or agency, even if you only want to refer. Then opt in from Referrals.

Anywhere you genuinely reach brands and agencies: your website, newsletter, social posts, communities, or direct conversations. Adding ?via= and your code to any Performance Collab page works too. Represent Performance Collab accurately, no spam, no coupon or deal sites, and always disclose that you may earn a commission.

No. Your share comes entirely out of our platform fee.

No. The brand sees nothing about the referral.
