How it works

  1. 1

    Apply and get your link

    Two minutes with your BetaList account. Once we've approved you, your link is betalist.com with your name on it.

  2. 2

    Share it where founders look

    A list of places to launch, a newsletter, a community, a note to a founder you advise. Anyone who follows it and pays is yours.

  3. 3

    Get paid monthly

    Your dashboard shows every visit, founder and commission. We pay out by Wise each month once you've earned $50.

Who it's for

Writers and newsletters

Lists of startup directories and launch guides. BetaList is already on most of them.

Communities

Founder communities, indie hacker groups and Discord servers, where someone asks where to launch every week.

Accelerators and coaches

Founders you advise need a first wave of early adopters. Send them here.

Agencies and freelancers

The products you build for founders have to launch somewhere. Recommend BetaList and let them submit.

What we ask

  • Don't refer yourself. Submissions you make or pay for yourself, including for clients, earn no commission.
  • No ads on the word "BetaList", and no coupon or deal sites.
  • No spam: not in email, not in comments, not in other people's communities.
  • Don't promise acceptance. Every submission is reviewed the same way, whoever sent it.

Questions

When and how do I get paid?
At the start of each month, by Wise, once your balance is $50 or more. A payment's commission is due 30 days after the founder made it.

How is a referral tracked?
Your link sets a cookie in the visitor's browser for 60 days, and the first affiliate link they follow holds. If they sign up or log in to BetaList in that time, they're yours, and so is 30% of what they pay in their first 12 months, whichever device they pay from.

What if a submission is rejected?
We refund rejected submissions, and a refunded payment earns no commission. That's why commissions wait 30 days.

Can founders I refer get a discount?
Not by default. Now and then we run a campaign, around Black Friday for example, with a code for affiliates to share. We'll email you when one starts.

Do founders who already use BetaList count?
No. The program pays for founders you bring us, so someone who has paid BetaList before isn't a referral.

Who approves applications?
We read every one ourselves. A line about where you'd share your link helps.
