01 — THE PROBLEM

Affiliate marketing is broken.

90% of affiliates never make a dollar. The ones who do, fight bad tracking, low commissions, saturated keywords, and surprise clawbacks. The current model serves the platform — not the people doing the recommending.

·

Tracking nightmares

Cookies expire. Devices switch. Half your conversions never get attributed. Most affiliate programs lose 20–40% of legitimate clicks.

·

Pennies on the dollar

5–10% commissions on a $20 ebook. The math never works. You hustle for traffic, the merchant keeps 90%.

·

Saturated content

Every keyword reviewed. Every list-icle written. Google’s tired of the same affiliate spam — and so are buyers.

·

Pay walls

90-day NET. $100 minimums. Surprise clawbacks. You earn it then wait three months hoping the merchant pays.

·

No support

You sign up, you get a generic dashboard, and you’re alone. No copy, no creative, no playbook.

·

Race to the bottom

Coupon sites and bots eat your commissions. Real recommenders get out-bid by software that scrapes deals.

02 — THE FIKR WAY

Five things every other program gets wrong.

We rebuilt the affiliate stack for people who actually drive founder decisions — not coupon sites and SEO farms.

·

30% recurring

Not 5%. Not one-time. Thirty percent of every paid plan, every month, for as long as your referral stays a customer.

·

Co-creation, not commodities

You’re recommending an ecosystem you helped build. Founding affiliates shape product, content, and merch. That’s the moat.

·

Monthly payouts

NET-30. 50 € minimum. We pay on the 1st of every month, by bank transfer. No clawbacks unless fraud.

·

Ready creative

Banners, copy snippets, video assets, white-label landing pages. Everything you need on day one. No design skills required.

·

Real support

Slack channel with the FIKR team. Monthly office hours. Performance dashboards that actually work. We win when you win.

03 — SIDE BY SIDE

Most programs vs. FIKR.

Same job, two completely different deals.

05 — THE MATH

What this actually pays.

1,692 €
per year from <strong>10 active referrals</strong> on Starter — 10 × 47 € × 30% × 12 months. Recurring.
4,230 €
per year from <strong>25 active referrals</strong> — 25 × 47 € × 30% × 12 months. Recurring.
8,460 €
per year from <strong>50 active referrals</strong> — 50 × 47 € × 30% × 12 months. Recurring, and it grows when they move up a plan.
06 — QUESTIONS

The fine print.

How long does the cookie / attribution last?
A click on your link sets a cookie on fikr.space that lasts 30 days. If the visitor signs up in that time, they count as your referral. Once their company signs up, it stays tied to you for life.
When do you pay?
NET-30, on the 1st of every month, with a 50 € minimum balance. Below 50 € it carries to the next month. Payment is by bank transfer.
Are commissions really recurring forever?
Yes. As long as the referred customer stays on a paid plan, you get 30% of their MRR every month. If they upgrade, your commission goes up. If they cancel, the meter stops.
Can I run paid ads to my affiliate link?
Yes, on your own domains and landing pages. You may not bid on FIKR brand keywords (e.g. "FIKR Space pricing") — that competes with our own search and we’ll claw back those commissions.
Who counts as my referral?
Anyone who opens fikr.space (or any FIKR subdomain) through your link and signs up their company within 30 days, in the same browser. Someone who joins the waiting list through your link counts too, when they sign up their company with that email within 30 days. From then on, every paid plan of that company earns you commission.
What if I don’t have a big audience yet?
You don’t need one. The founding affiliate program prioritises trusted voices in specific niches over general influencers. 200 engaged founder-readers beat 200,000 random followers every time.
