# Affiliate Overview

> Earn by sharing content you love

## Share. Earn. Repeat.

As an Affiliate, you get paid when people you refer subscribe to LOAFS. It's that simple.

  </Card>

  <Card title="Two Levels" icon="layer-group">

## How It Works

```
You share your unique referral link
      ↓
Someone clicks and signs up
      ↓
They pay for their subscription
      ↓
You get 30% of that payment
      ↓
Every month they stay, you keep earning
```

**Recurring revenue.** Not a one-time bonus.

## The Commission Structure

| Level             | Rate | What It Means                  |
| ----------------- | ---- | ------------------------------ |
| **L1**            | 30%  | Someone YOU referred           |
| **L1 Influencer** | 35%  | After 10+ active referrals     |
| **L2**            | 15%  | Someone YOUR REFERRAL referred |

<Info>
  L2 unlocks after you have 5+ active referrals. Until then, you only earn L1.

## Important: The 7-Day Wait

When you sign up as an Affiliate, your earning tools unlock **after 7 days**.

**Why?**

We want you to experience LOAFS as a user first. Watch content. Explore the Lounge. Understand what you're sharing.

This isn't a hustle. It's a community. The wait ensures you're sharing something you actually believe in.

<Tip>
  Use the 7 days to find creators you love. When your link activates, you'll know exactly what to recommend.

## Pricing

| Tier      | Price      |
| --------- | ---------- |
| Affiliate | \$34.95/mo |

You need to maintain your subscription to keep earning. If you cancel, pending commissions can still be withdrawn, but you stop earning new ones.

## Is This an MLM?

**No.**

| MLM                        | LOAFS                      |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Infinite levels            | Capped at 2 levels         |
| Recruitment is the product | Content is the product     |
| Must recruit to earn       | Can earn via tips, content |
| Pyramid structure          | Flat affiliate network     |

LOAFS's two-tier structure is legally distinct from multi-level marketing. There's no pressure to recruit. The focus is on great content.
