You Can Now Earn Real Money with Kubeez (15% on Every Referred Purchase, 2 Months)

Most "creator referral programs" are points-based vanity games: tokens you can only redeem inside the same product, leaderboards, or vouchers that expire before you remember to use them. Kubeez referrals are different. You earn 15% of what your referred friends actually pay for monthly plans and credit packs during their first 2 months. Real money, paid straight to your card. EUR-denominated. No leaderboards. And your friend gets 20% extra credits on their first purchase.

This post explains exactly what the program is, who it's for, and how to start earning today. There's a dedicated landing page at kubeez.com/earn with the math and FAQ. This article covers the why and the playbooks that actually move the needle.

#The headline: 15% / 2 months / paid to your card

The whole program in one sentence:

When someone joins Kubeez through your referral link, you earn 15% of what they pay for monthly plans and credit packs for the next 2 months. Each commission unlocks after a 60-day hold and is paid straight to your card on request, once you reach the EUR 20 minimum.

A few important things baked into that sentence:

• 15% of what they actually pay, not 15% of "credits." You earn against real money paid to Kubeez, not against synthetic in-app counters.
• 2 months from the day they join through your link. The clock starts when your friend signs up through your link, not when they first buy. The sooner they make their first purchase, the more of the window you earn on.
• 60-day hold = real revenue only. Card disputes and chargebacks can arrive weeks after a payment. We hold each commission for 60 days so those land before the money reaches your available balance.
• Paid straight to your card. Once your unlocked balance reaches EUR 20, request a payout and we send the money to the card on your account.

And your friend gets something too:

• 20% extra credits on their first full-price monthly plan or credit pack. They get it by signing up through your link, or by entering your code before their first paid purchase.
• On a monthly plan, the bonus follows the normal subscription credit rules, so it expires with that billing cycle. On a credit pack, the bonus stays with the pack credits.
• The bonus can't be combined with promo codes or the welcome offer, and referred users don't get the welcome offer. Yearly plans are not part of the program.

That's the full deal. There's no application form, no follower-count gate, no waitlist. The link is on your account dashboard the moment you sign up.

#Why we built it this way

Most referral programs collapse for one of three reasons:

1. The reward decays. A "recurring forever" promise is sustainable until it isn't, and then it gets quietly nerfed in v2, which destroys trust with the partners who built audiences around it.
2. The reward is unspendable. "Earn 1,000 KubeezPoints™" is a polite way of saying "we kept your audience attribution and gave you Disney Dollars in return."
3. The clawbacks are silent. A payment gets disputed weeks later and the partner sees the commission disappear without explanation.

The 15% / 2-month / 60-day-hold / paid-to-your-card structure is the simplest answer to all three:

• A finite window (2 months) means we're rewarding acquisition, not annuitizing it. You bring a customer; we share the early revenue with you. After that, retention is on us.
• Real money means real money. EUR-denominated, paid to the card on your account. No tokens, no points, no in-app credits.
• The 60-day hold is the honest way to share revenue with partners. Disputes and chargebacks can show up weeks after a payment, so we tell you about the hold up front and a clawback later isn't a surprise.

#Who should be running Kubeez referrals

Four groups will earn the most, in roughly this order:

#1. Creators and educators

YouTubers explaining AI workflows, TikTokers showing prompt-to-video transformations, newsletter writers covering AI tooling. If your audience already cares about AI media, your link converts. The strongest format is attaching the link to the tutorial: don't ask people to refer their friends, ask them to try the tool you just showed.

#2. Marketing and content agencies

If you're running ad creative, social content, or brand video for clients, you're already buying or about to buy AI media. Make Kubeez the layer underneath, attribute the workspace to your agency, and the client's spend funds your revshare. This is the highest-EV use of the program because client spend is a 5 to 50× multiplier on individual creator spend.

#3. Developers and tinkerers

You ship templates, MCP integrations, npm packages, or wrappers around the Kubeez API. Every dev who picks up your project, signs up through your README link, and buys credits earns you a cut. The dev audience is small but converts at >10× the rate of consumer traffic because they sign up to build, which means they need credits.

#4. Communities and operators

Discord servers running a content cohort, indie hacker groups, restaurant networks running social-media-as-a-service. If your group buys content tools as a habit, your link is the procurement channel they didn't know they had.

#What 15% actually looks like

Most people don't have an intuition for revshare math, so here's a concrete table. These are illustrative. Actual earnings depend on what each referred user pays for monthly plans and credit packs during their 2-month window.

The pattern that makes this serious money is referring agencies and teams, not individual creators. A single referred agency buying €300/mo of credits is worth about €90 to you over 2 months. Three of them clears a side income.

#Where to put the link (the channels that actually convert)

The single highest-converting placement is wherever you've already taught someone something useful with Kubeez. Concrete examples:

• YouTube tutorial description + pinned comment. Walk through generating a hero image with GPT Image 2 or animating it with Seedance 2, then drop your link.
• Newsletter footer. Static placement, compounds over months. Add one line: "I generate the images for this newsletter with Kubeez. Sign up through my link and get 20% extra credits on your first monthly plan or credit pack."
• TikTok pinned comment. Show the result, link the tool. The hook is the asset; the link is the fulfillment.
• Agency proposal decks. "We use Kubeez for AI media production. Here's our partner link to get started." This is the agency-tier multiplier in action.
• GitHub README. If you're shipping an MCP integration or a template repo, the README is your highest-converting referral surface.
• Discord pin / Slack channel. For communities running content together. One pinned message, evergreen.
• Course or workshop slides. "Tools used in this lesson" with the link inline. People who paid for a course buy tools.

What doesn't work: tweeting the raw link cold, mass-DMing strangers, generic "Kubeez is great, sign up here" posts. Treat the link as a CTA on top of a piece of demonstrated value, not as the value itself.

#How to start (literally three minutes)

1. Sign up or log in at kubeez.com. Your referral code is generated automatically.
2. Open your dashboard and find your Refer & earn entry. It has your code, your share link, copy-buttons, and a native share sheet on mobile.
3. Drop the link in one of the channels above. That's it.

There's nothing to install and no contract to sign. As soon as a referred user pays for a monthly plan or credit pack, the commission shows up in your earnings table with a "pending → available → paid" lifecycle. You can request a payout once your available balance reaches EUR 20.

#The fine print, plainly

A few things that come up in practice:

• Monthly plans and credit packs count. Yearly plans don't. The 15% applies to what the referred user actually pays for monthly plans and credit packs during their 2-month window. Yearly plans earn nothing.
• Discounted purchases don't earn. Purchases made with a promo code, the welcome offer, or any discount deeper than the standard subscriber discount earn nothing.
• Free credits and grants don't earn. Only real payments earn commission, because that's the only thing we share.
• Refunds, disputes and chargebacks claw back the matching commission. If a referred purchase is refunded, disputed or charged back, the commission for it is reversed, and payouts are held while a clawback is owed.
• Self-referrals and gaming are voided. Referring yourself or your own accounts is not allowed, and those commissions are voided. Full rules are in the referral program terms.
• EUR-denominated. Kubeez bills in EUR. Your earnings are in EUR, the minimum payout is EUR 20, and we convert to your preferred display currency on the page.

#What's coming next

This is v1 of the referral program. The intentional limitations:

• Payouts go out on request (we want to talk to every partner before automating)
• 2-month earning window (we'll evaluate extending it once we see real data)
• No multi-tier or "team referral" structure yet (single-attribution model: you're either the referrer or you aren't)

Things we'd consider in v2 based on partner feedback: automated card payouts, agency dashboards with multi-seat attribution, an extended window for high-LTV segments, and a public partner directory if there's demand.

If you want any of those today, message us. The whole point of v1 being hands-on is that we hear from partners directly.

#TL;DR

• 15% of what your referred friend pays for monthly plans and credit packs during the 2 months after they join through your link
• Your friend gets 20% extra credits on their first full-price monthly plan or credit pack
• Paid straight to your card, EUR-denominated, on request, EUR 20 minimum payout
• 60-day hold before each commission unlocks (disputes and chargebacks can arrive weeks after a payment)
• Yearly plans, promo code and welcome offer purchases, and free credits don't earn
• Every Kubeez account is in the program by default, no application
• Get your link at kubeez.com/earn and your dashboard at kubeez.com/referrals

If you have an audience, a client list, a community, or a dev project around AI media, the math is in your favor. Drop your link where you've already taught someone something, and let the program run in the background.
