Partner program
Your audience makes short videos. Recommend Subtylo, our AI caption tool for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. They get 20% off their first payment. You earn 40% of every payment for 12 months.
How it works
- Email us at partners@usefulshed.com with your channel or site and the code you'd like (your name or handle, 2 to 32 letters, digits or dashes). No minimum audience. You get your code, your link and a Pro access code within two working days.
- Share it. Mention the code in your video and put the link in your description, bio or newsletter:
subtitles.usefulshed.com/?ref=yourcode - Get paid monthly by PayPal or Wise, with a statement of every sale.
How a sale is credited to you
- Your code typed at checkout, on any device, any day. Your audience types it under the prices and sees the 20% discount before they pay (20% off a pack, or off the first month of Pro). Codes do not expire while you are a partner.
- Your link, when the visitor buys in the same visit. Your code is then applied for them.
We do not put a tracking cookie on your audience's devices. That is why the code matters: say it out loud in the video, because people often watch on their phone and buy later on a computer.
What you earn
| Your audience buys | They pay | You earn |
|---|---|---|
| Pro, first month | $7.20 (20% off $9) | up to $2.88 |
| Pro, every later month (up to 12 in total) | $9 | up to $3.60 a month |
| 10-export pack | $5.60 (20% off $7) | up to $2.24 |
40% is paid on the amount after sales tax or VAT, which our prices include, so the amount is lower where VAT applies. One Pro subscriber who stays a year earns you up to $42.48.
What to post
Short videos sell this best: 7 to 15 seconds, your own footage, with the result in the first two seconds. Two formats that work:
- Before and after. Split screen: your clip without captions on the left, the same clip with Subtylo captions on the right. Switch the caption style once. Ask "Left or right?"
- Free vs paid. Show the free export (720p, small watermark) next to the clean 1080p one and say the real price: 10 clean exports for $7, or Pro for $9 a month. Ask "Would you pay for captions?"
Say your code out loud and put your link in the description or bio. Show what you really saw: no made-up results or reviews.
Payouts
- Monthly, in US dollars, by PayPal or Wise, once your balance reaches $25. A smaller balance carries over.
- A payment counts once our 14-day refund window has passed. Refunded or disputed payments earn nothing.
- You get a statement with every credited sale: date, plan, amount and your commission.
Rules
- Say it's a partnership. Label posts that carry your code as an ad or affiliate link (for example #ad, or TikTok's and Instagram's paid-partnership label), as the US FTC and most countries require.
- No paid search ads on the names Subtylo or Useful Shed, and no ads that look like ours.
- No spam: no unsolicited messages or comments, no posting your code on coupon sites.
- No self-referrals: your own purchases do not earn commission.
- Describe the tool truthfully. If you are unsure about a claim, ask us.
We may end a partnership that breaks these rules; commission already earned under the rules is still paid. Either side can end the partnership at any time by email.
Questions
Who can join?
Anyone whose audience makes or edits videos: YouTubers, TikTokers, newsletter writers, editors, coaches and teachers. There is no follower minimum.
What does my audience get without your code?
The free tier: captions in 20 tested languages, every style, 720p exports with a small watermark, no signup. Your code takes 20% off the first payment of a pack or Pro.
Can I make a tutorial or a review?
Yes, that is the best way. Your free Pro access removes the watermark from your exports. An honest review, with what you did not like, works better than praise.
Why not lifetime commission?
Subtylo costs $9 a month, so we pay a high rate (40%) for a fixed time that we can keep paying reliably. If that changes, existing partners keep the better of the two terms.
