Frequently asked questions

How much do Inkfluence AI affiliates earn?

30% on every payment from a referred customer, for up to 12 months. Monthly subscribers earn you $3-$6 per payment ($36-$72 if they stay a full year). Yearly subscribers earn $27 (Creator) or $54 (Premium) as a one-time commission at signup.

What is the cookie duration?

30 days. If a visitor clicks your referral link and then purchases within 30 days, the commission is attributed to you, even if they leave the site and come back later.

How are affiliates paid?

Monthly, via PayPal, Wise, or local bank transfer (your choice). Minimum payout threshold is $25. Tolt handles W-9 collection and 1099 issuance for US affiliates automatically.

What happens if a referred customer cancels or refunds?

If they cancel, we stop calculating commission from that point. If they refund within 60 days, the corresponding commission is clawed back. After 60 days, commissions are locked.

How quickly is my application approved?

2-3 business days. Manual review. We approve affiliates with relevant audiences and an established platform: blog, YouTube, podcast, newsletter, or active social.

Can I refer myself?

No. Self-referrals are not eligible. Tolt detects same-IP and same-email-domain attempts automatically.

Do you provide marketing materials?

Yes. After approval you get access to banner graphics, screenshots, and suggested copy in the affiliate portal. Honest reviews using your own creative work best.

Can I promote competing tools too?

Yes. Honest comparison reviews welcome. No exclusivity required. Only restrictions: no bidding on our trademark in paid ads, no coupon-site spam, no purchased traffic.
