You get a referral link and a small set of materials you can adapt for your audience.
You earn a percentage of paid subscriptions from users you refer, for as long as they remain subscribers.
Payouts are processed monthly via PayPal after your balance reaches $25. The dashboard shows referrals, status, and earnings.
Who it's for
Newsletters, blogs, courses, and review essays for people doing source-heavy work.
Professors, tutors, and student organizations helping researchers manage papers and drafts.
Slack groups, Discord servers, labs, and creator audiences focused on better research workflows.
No follower minimum. We care more about fit, clarity, and whether your audience actually works with sources.
FAQ
Students, professors, industry professionals, bloggers, newsletter writers, YouTubers, tutors, community managers, and consultants can apply. If your audience includes people who read, write, cite, or research, we will review the application.
