Affiliates

Earn from what you recommend

Twenty percent of every sale you send, on all four instruments and the Collection. No quotas, no exclusivity, and nothing owed if it never works out. Gumroad tracks and pays it, so I am not in the middle of it.

I read these by hand rather than handing out an open link, which is why the form asks real questions. It takes about three minutes. The terms are here and they are short.

Who this works for

Being straight with you saves us both the time. These are small, specific instruments, and audience size matters far less than whether your people actually make this kind of music.

A good fit

Your audience makes ambient, cinematic, generative or experimental music, or they are cutting picture and mixing sound for film and TV.
You demonstrate rather than describe. People need to hear these to want them, so a channel where the instrument actually plays converts and a talking head does not.
You will say when something is not good. An audience that trusts you is the entire mechanism. One that has learned you praise everything is worth nothing to either of us.
You have a few thousand engaged followers or more. A focused channel of three thousand ambient producers beats a general music channel of fifty thousand, every time.

A poor fit, and I would rather say so now

Coupon, deal-aggregator and voucher sites. You would be paid for demand I already created.
Buying your own referral, or asking your audience to route a purchase through your link as a favour.
Anywhere the audience is mostly beginners looking for free plugins. Nobody wins.
Bought followings. I will look.

Before you apply

Play at least one of them. Every instrument runs free in the browser with no download and no signup: ARGISH, SILT, REHEAT, THALM. The form asks which one you would feature and why, and that answer is the one I actually read.

Apply

Your name required

Email required This is the address your Gumroad affiliate account will be attached to.

Where you publish required A link to your channel, site or newsletter. Your main one, not a linktree.

Mainly

How many people, roughly Subscribers, monthly readers, listeners, whatever fits. A real number is more useful to me than a big one.

What do your audience mostly make? Tick everything that genuinely applies.

Ambient and drone Cinematic and scoring Film and TV sound Techno, house, acid Experimental and modular Hip hop and beats Songwriting and band Sound design for games

Which one would you feature?

Why that one, for your audience? required This is the part I actually read. A couple of honest sentences about what your people would do with it beats a paragraph of praise.

How would you cover it?

Promoted plugins before? Link one if you can. Perfectly fine if this would be your first.

Anything else

I have read the affiliate terms and I am happy with them. required

The short version: 20%, a 30 day cookie, Gumroad pays you once your balance passes $100, refunds take the commission back, and you must say that it is an affiliate link.
