Why lifetime, not 12 months
Because I do not run ads.
Most SaaS companies burn their marketing budget on Google Ads and LinkedIn campaigns. I do not. SEOLint has no paid acquisition channel. Distribution is content I make on YouTube, posts I write, and people like you who tell other developers about the tool.
The money I would have spent on ads becomes affiliate commission. The rate is 30%, in line with the better creator programs. The real lever is that it is recurring for life, not capped at 12 months. Most programs quietly cut you off after a year. This one does not.
The margins on SEOLint are healthy after infra (Vercel, Supabase, Browserless). Paying 30% forever to the person who sent the customer leaves the business sustainable, which is the point. It also means I will never undercut affiliates with a last-second deal or a sneaky promo code that bypasses your link.
Powered by Creem
Payouts handled by a merchant of record.
Creem is a Stripe-like payment platform that acts as the merchant of record for SEOLint. In practice this matters because Creem handles the parts of running an affiliate program that usually cause the most friction.
- ·Tax handled for you. Creem is registered in 100+ tax jurisdictions and collects VAT, GST, and sales tax on my behalf. You receive commission net of that complexity.
- ·Real-time dashboard. Click-through rate, signups, conversions, earnings. Updated live. You do not need to email me to ask how a campaign is doing.
- ·Native affiliate tracking. Creem has affiliate management built into the same platform that processes the payments. Every paid invoice is automatically attributed to the referrer. No separate tool, no webhook glue.
- ·Monthly automatic payouts. Pay to bank, PayPal, or Wise depending on your region. No manual invoicing.
Who this is for
A good fit or not.
Good fit
- YouTube creators covering Claude, Cursor, MCP, Next.js, dev SEO
- Newsletter writers with developer or indie-hacker audiences
- Agencies that recommend SEO tooling to small SaaS clients
- Open-source maintainers whose users care about search visibility
- Twitter/X devs who already post about AI tooling and shipping
Not a fit
- Traditional SEO agencies selling retainers (wrong audience)
- Coupon/cashback sites (I do not stack with deal aggregators)
- Pure marketing bloggers with no technical audience
- Anyone who wants to run paid ads with my brand name
What you are promoting
An SEO coworker, not another audit tool.
SEOLint today runs inside Claude Code as an MCP server, scans any site, and turns every issue into a paste-and-execute fix prompt. That alone is what gets people to sign up.
What they stay for is the direction: an agent that watches each site on its own, pulls Google Search Console data daily, catches regressions, and ships pull requests with the fix. Ongoing SEO support instead of a one-off audit. A coworker the customer never has to manage.
That is the pitch that lands with developers, indie hackers, and technical founders who care about their site's SEO but do not want to do SEO. It is why the lifetime commission matters — the product produces value every week, so referrals tend to stick, and you keep earning as long as they stay. Your job is just to tell the right audience this exists.
FAQ
Honest answers.
Why 30% for life?
Because 10% for 30 days is what most SaaS offers, and it does not move anyone to actually record a video or write a post. 30% recurring for as long as your referral stays means a single signup on the $79/mo plan pays you ~$23.23 every month, forever (Creem calculates the 30% on the net-of-fees invoice amount, which is $77.42 on a $79 charge). One solid YouTube video that brings in 10 referrals who stick around for 2 years earns you around $5,575 while you sleep. The lifetime aspect is the real lever, not the rate.
When will the program open?
I am setting it up through Creem right now. Email me and I will add you to the early list. The category this fits into, an SEO coworker that runs itself on your customers' sites, is new enough that the early recommenders shape how it gets talked about.
Who is this for?
Developers, indie hackers, newsletter writers, YouTube creators covering dev tools, and small agencies who recommend SEO stacks to clients. If you already talk about Claude, Cursor, MCP, or developer SEO, this is a natural fit. If your audience is traditional marketers, it probably is not.
How do I actually get paid?
Creem handles it. Creem is my merchant of record, which means they collect the payments, handle tax compliance in 100+ countries, and pay affiliates out on a monthly cycle. You get a dashboard, a unique referral link, and real-time stats. I never touch the money flow. No invoices to chase, no PayPal reminder emails.
What counts as a successful referral?
Any paying customer who signs up through your link within a 60-day cookie window and stays subscribed past the 7-day free trial. You earn 30% of every monthly invoice they pay (calculated on the net-of-Creem-fees amount, so ~$23.23 on a $79 invoice), for as long as they stay, starting with the day-8 charge. Trial signups that do not convert earn nothing. If they cancel, you stop earning on future payments. If they move to the Custom plan with higher site count, you earn 30% of the new amount. No time cap, no rate drop after X months.
Can I write a review or make a video saying bad things?
Yes. I would rather you be honest than polished. Say what is missing. Say what could be better. An honest review from someone who actually used the tool converts better than a canned demo. Just link your referral code in the description.
Is there any quality standard I need to meet?
One, and it is designed to be easy to clear for anyone sending good-fit traffic. Once you have referred at least 10 paying customers, your referred cohort needs to maintain a day-90 paid-retention rate of at least 30%. This is well below healthy SaaS retention (typically 60-75%), so it only bites when the audience being targeted is clearly not a fit for a developer SEO tool. If your cohort drops below the line, you get a 30-day written notice to improve before any action is taken. It exists to keep the program sustainable for everyone — bad-fit traffic that churns fast forces me to either cap commissions or tighten approvals, and I would rather not do either.
Can I run paid ads or SEO-bid on the SEOLint brand name?
No on paid ads that target the SEOLint brand name directly (Google, Meta, or otherwise). No on squatting typo domains or subdomains that imply official affiliation. Everything else is fair game — your own channel, your own audience, your own content. If in doubt, email and ask.
