Most affiliates end up defending the product they promote. With ROOT you are recommending a VPN that is genuinely free to start, keeps no activity logs, and is open about how it pays for itself. Fewer awkward questions, more sign-ups you feel good about.
No activity logs, four modern protocols, and a free tier that actually works. Your audience gets real value before they ever pay.
The free download converts on its own merits. You send readers who were already looking for a fast, private VPN.
A unique referral link ties the sign-ups you send to your account, so what you earn is transparent and yours.
If you write about privacy, tech, streaming or travel, this fits.
?ref= code) and a simple dashboard.One published rate for everyone. No "contact your manager" opacity, no tiers you cannot reach. Here is the full deal, in writing.
You earn 50% of the first payment on any paid plan you refer, Plus (£3.99/mo or £39.99/yr) or Pro (£8.99/mo or £89.99/yr). Then 30% of every renewal that customer makes, for as long as they stay. Commission is worked out on what we actually receive, after card fees and VAT.
Your referral code is captured when someone arrives through your link and attributed at sign-up, with a 90-day window, the longest in the category. First touch wins. No cookie stuffing, no last-click gaming. If you sent them, you get the credit.
Each commission is held for 60 days after the payment, which covers our 45-day money-back guarantee. Then it becomes payable, and we pay on the 1st of every month once your payable balance reaches £20, straight to your bank through Stripe. Smaller balances roll over.
The house rules, briefly. They are part of the affiliate agreement you accept when you apply.
Rates for commission you have already earned never change after the fact.
Run a network of creators, an agency roster or a community of promoters? Managers bring their own team into the programme and earn an override on what their team earns, for as long as each member stays in the programme.
Every time someone on your team earns commission, you earn a 10% override on the same net revenue. We pay it on top of their commission, never out of it. It is held for the same 60 days and paid on the same monthly schedule, and refunds cancel it in the same way.
From your portal you add a creator by name and email and get their referral link and portal sign-in straight away, ready to hand over. You can also share a recruit link: anyone who applies through it joins your team once we approve them. Your portal shows each member's sign-ups, paying customers and what you have earned from them.
Apply as an affiliate and mention in your message that you manage other creators. We promote managers by hand after a conversation, so the programme stays honest. The override is earned on your direct team only, one level, never on a chain.
Worked through on the same net revenue: a team member earns 50% of a customer's first payment and you earn 10% on top, so we pay out 60% between you. On renewals it is 30% plus 10%. Manager terms are in the affiliate agreement.
Tell us a little about you. We read every application and reply by email.
