How it works
Apply and pick your link.
Share it, or a link to any of our 1,000+ summaries.
Watch clicks and earnings in your dashboard.
The numbers
30% of every payment a reader makes in their first year (12 months).
Your link counts for 30 days after a click. If they click another partner's link later, the later click gets the sale.
Payouts go out monthly by PayPal once you have $50 or more ready. Less than that carries over.
Each sale is held for 30 days so refunds can come through before we pay.
Web purchases only for now. Purchases in the App Store or Google Play aren't tracked yet, so they don't earn.
Who it's for
Newsletter writers, book YouTubers and podcasters, productivity and business creators, teachers and coaches. If your audience reads, or wants to, it's a good fit.
Creators with an engaged audience can ask about the influencer rate and a reader discount code.
Questions
When do I get paid?
Once a month, by PayPal. A sale becomes payable 30 days after the reader pays. When your payable earnings reach $50, they go out in the next monthly payout. Below that, they carry over to the next month.
What counts as a sale?
A purchase on app.getstoryshots.com by someone who clicked your link in the 30 days before buying, as long as they didn't click another partner's link after yours. Lifetime, annual and monthly plans all count. A free trial earns nothing until the reader's first real payment, and buying through your own link doesn't count.
Can I use my own link?
Yes. You choose your code when you apply, and it works on any page: the home page or a single book, like app.getstoryshots.com/book-summary/atomic-habits?ref=yourcode. Your dashboard builds book links for you.
What if a reader gets a refund?
If the refund happens during the 30 days hold, that commission is cancelled before it's paid. If it happens after we've paid you, we take it off your next payout.
Do you track app downloads?
Not yet. Only web purchases earn right now. If someone you send us installs the iPhone or Android app and subscribes there, we can't see that they came from you, so it doesn't count. We'll email partners when that changes.
