SoulSaga Affiliate Program

Sharing a private practice is not the same as building a funnel. If you already keep a journal, or you write about attention, myth, and the inner life, someone will eventually ask how to begin. The partner program exists for that moment — not as a second career, and not as a promise of income.

The SoulSaga affiliate program is a defined referral arrangement for people who share the journal: partners receive 30% of monthly payments for the first 6 months of a referred customer, or 20% of the first annual payment, excluding VAT and after processing fees, with one conversion counted per person.

That is the architecture. What follows is context: who the terms fit, how a trial differs from a charge, why a hold exists, and why a paid mention must look like a paid mention.

Who this program is for

It is for people who already speak — in public or in a small circle — about writing, memory, and the shape of a life. Teachers of literature. Newsletter writers. Friends who recommend tools the way they recommend books. It is not for anyone looking to manufacture urgency, stack bonuses, or treat another person’s inner pages as a lead magnet.

The journal is not a coach, not a clinic, and not a productivity sprint. Chapters are woven from the writer’s own words, without inventing facts. If your audience comes to you for diagnosis, treatment, or guaranteed transformation, this is the wrong object to attach to that promise. Point people toward a practice of their own sentences. Leave the myth-making to what they actually wrote.

If you would name the work whether or not a commission existed, you are close to the right posture. If you need a script, a countdown, or a claim that a life will be repaired, you are not. Follower count is not a virtue here. Fit is whether your voice can hold a quiet recommendation without inflating it.

Partner commission structure

The partner commission structure is intentionally narrow. For monthly billing, partners receive 30% of monthly subscription payments for the first 6 months of the referred customer, then the monthly commission stops. For annual billing, partners receive 20% of the first annual payment. Further annual payments are outside the commission.

That limit is not an afterthought. A longer tail would reward keeping someone enrolled. A defined window rewards an introduction. If you need language about residual streams or income that continues on its own, stop: those words do not belong to these terms, and they do not belong next to a practice of private writing.

Monthly commission (first 6 months)

On monthly billing, the commission is 30% of monthly subscription payments for the first 6 months of the referred customer, excluding VAT, after processing fees, and only on collected payments. After those 6 months, nothing further is owed to the partner. Refunds and chargebacks do not yield a final commission. Do not narrate this as a salary. Do not annualize it in a thread. It is a rate on collected monthly payments during that window.

First annual payment

On the first annual payment, the commission is 20%, excluding VAT, after processing fees, and only on collected payments. Annual billing is a longer commitment by the subscriber, not a longer claim by the partner. The percentage applies to that first annual payment; a later annual charge does not create another commission. Neither figure is “earnings potential.” Both are rates on one referred person.

VAT is excluded. Processing fees are deducted before the percentage is taken. Do not invent a net number for your readers, and do not quote checkout prices — those belong on the site at the moment of purchase, not inside a recommendation.

One conversion per person

One conversion per person is the rule. If someone you referred later changes plans, resubscribes, or chooses a different package, that activity does not create a second commission. Households, shared devices, and “I told a friend who told a friend” do not multiply the count. The program measures a person, not a trail of clicks.

This protects the people you send. They are not inventory. It also protects you from building a story in which volume replaces care. A single, attributable beginning is enough for the terms to apply. If you cannot live with that ceiling, you are asking the journal to fund a business it was not designed to be.

The 14-day trial, first charge, and 30-day hold

An annual path may include a 14-day trial. During that window the charge is $0. No commission is payable on a trial that has not become a paid package. Curiosity is not a conversion. If the person continues, the first charge occurs after the trial; that charge is the event the program recognizes.

After the first charge, a 30-day hold applies. The hold exists so that refunds, failed payments, and rapid cancellations can settle before anything is marked payable. A click is not a conversion. A trial start is not a conversion. A first successful charge, held for thirty days, is the beginning of a payable amount.

Do not tell an audience that you are paid when they “sign up.” If you mention money at all, say that a recommendation may be compensated if they later become a paying subscriber — and that even then, holds and thresholds apply. Precision here is part of the same ethic as the journal: do not invent a cleaner story than the one the terms allow.

The $50 payout threshold

Payable balances are reviewed at month-end. Payouts begin from a $50 payout threshold. Below that line, the amount remains until a later month-end crossing. There is no weekly drip and no honest way to describe this as a wage.

The threshold is administrative, not motivational. It keeps small remainders from turning into noise. If you never reach it, you have still pointed someone toward a practice; the absence of a payout is not a failure of the writing, and it is not a reason to sharpen the pitch.

Do not publish calendars of “when I get paid.” Do not imply that readers owe you a conversion. The money, when it exists, is a side effect of a named introduction — delayed, capped by one person, and silent until it clears the hold and the threshold together.

#ad disclosure when you share

If a link or a mention can be compensated, say so. #ad disclosure is the minimum clear label in places that use that convention. In longer prose, a plain sentence is better: you may earn a commission if someone you refer becomes a paying subscriber.

Disclosure is not a garnish hidden under a fold. It is part of the same honesty the journal asks of the people who write in it. Do not imply that a chapter, a prompt, or a “result” is independent editorial when a partner link sits underneath. Do not use we in a way that pretends you built the product. Do not invent studies, percentages of people who “felt better,” or before-and-after lives.

Paid links should look like paid links. Name the relationship early enough that a reader can leave before the ask. Softening the label into “collab,” “partnered magic,” or a footnote after the close is not calm — it is fog. The reader can decide. Your task is to make the decision possible.

Sharing without turning a life into a pitch

A useful recommendation is small. It names what the thing is and what it is not. It does not borrow clinical authority. It does not promise a new personality by Friday. It does not screenshot another person’s private pages. It offers a door, then steps aside.

If you write in public, let the work of sharing match the work you praise: specific, uninvented, unwilling to flatten a life into a testimonial. Quote your own experience if you wish. Do not ventriloquize an audience you have not heard from. Do not run scarcity that the product does not run.

Campaigns sit badly next to a mythology built from quiet entries. A single clear paragraph, repeated when it is still true, will outlast a week of pressure. The brand line is enough of a compass — your story, your myth, yourself — and it does not need a discount stacked on top.

How to apply

Applications are reviewed for fit, not for spectacle. You will be asked to show where and how you share. If the answer is cold traffic, scraped lists, miracle language, or claims the product does not make, expect a no. If the answer is a room where people already think in chapters, you are closer.

Read the terms before you announce anything. Keep the recommendation smaller than the thing recommended. When you are ready, apply to the partner program. Put your name beside the word ad. Then return to your own pages — the ones no commission should ever be allowed to rewrite.
