How much can I earn?

You earn 30% of every sale as a standard affiliate. If you qualify for our influencer tier (500K+ followers across all social media platforms), you earn 40% of every sale. A single Ultimate Bundle referral earns you $88.50 at the standard rate. Monthly subscription referrals earn commission on every renewal for the lifetime of the subscription, so a single subscriber can generate recurring income for months or years. There is no cap on total earnings.

When and how do I get paid?

Payouts are processed monthly via PayPal. The minimum payout threshold is $50. Once your pending earnings reach $50 or more, you can request a payout from your affiliate dashboard at any time. We process payout requests within 3-5 business days. Make sure your PayPal email is correctly set in your affiliate profile to avoid payment delays.

How long does the cookie last?

Our tracking cookie lasts 30 days. If someone clicks your referral link and purchases anything within 30 days, you receive the full commission even if they do not buy on their first visit. The cookie is set the moment a visitor clicks your link, and it persists across browser sessions. If the visitor clears cookies or uses a different device, the attribution may be lost, so we recommend encouraging immediate action in your content.

Do I need a website?

No, you do not need a website to participate. You can share your affiliate link on social media (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, LinkedIn), YouTube video descriptions, newsletters, Discord and Slack communities, forums, or anywhere else your audience engages. A website or blog can help drive more consistent traffic to your link, but it is not a requirement to join or earn commissions.

Are there any fees to join?

The affiliate program is completely free to join. There are no setup fees, monthly fees, or hidden costs. You only earn money and never pay anything. We provide all the promotional materials you need, including banners, text links, and social media copy, at no charge. You can leave the program at any time without penalty.

How do I qualify for the 40% influencer rate?

To qualify for the 40% influencer commission rate, you need a combined following of 500,000 or more across all your social media platforms. This includes YouTube subscribers, Instagram followers, TikTok followers, Twitter/X followers, and LinkedIn connections. When you apply, share your social media profiles and we will verify your combined reach. If you grow past 500K after joining, contact us to upgrade your rate.

What products earn commissions?

You earn commission on every paid product on GetIllustrations. This includes individual illustration packs, icon packs, the Illustration Bundle, the Ultimate Design Bundle, monthly and yearly subscriptions, the API Pro plan, and custom illustration orders. Free downloads do not generate commissions, but visitors who start with free packs often upgrade to paid products later, so sharing free content can still lead to commissions.

Can I promote GetIllustrations alongside other affiliates?

Yes, absolutely. You can promote GetIllustrations alongside other design resource affiliates. Many of our most successful affiliates create comparison posts, resource roundups, and tool recommendation lists that include multiple products. We only ask that you are honest and transparent about your affiliate relationship, and that you do not use misleading advertising or spam to promote your link.
