Being a member of our affiliate program doesn’t just mean that you can make money by sharing our site. It means a lot more than that.
As a Tailwind Affiliate, you are now in a position of knowledge and authority in the Tailwind community. You educate your audience on how they can be more successful with their marketing. And without you, they would have no way to find the tools they need to be successful.
Our challenge to you is to fully embrace that position. Go into this adventure wanting to teach others to succeed. With that mindset, you’ll also set yourself up for success with the affiliate program.
We spent a lot of time speaking with successful affiliates to learn what exactly they do to find success. What we’ve found is that the most successful affiliates don’t make a lot of money because they represent companies that offer them the highest commission rates or the best incentives. They find the most success from sharing products that they believe in. Our top affiliates share Tailwind because they have personally used it to propel their business forward and they want to help others find the same success. They want to help their audience more than they want to profit off of them. And in turn, they’ve ended up creating incredible recurring revenue streams from their desire to help others succeed.
In this section we’ll go over:
Tailwind has a number of different products and product tiers that you can use to make money. While we have a $0.01 commission for tracking free signups, the real money happens when someone upgrades! Commission for any of these upgrades is 15% recurring for life. Here is an overview of the different products we offer and how much you can make from each.
We have two options with our Plus Plan — either paying monthly or annually. The commission for these plans is:
A basic level of our Communities product comes with the Plus Plan. Members can join 5 Communities and submit 30 pieces of content each month. However, if they would like to do more with Communities, they can purchase PowerUps on top of their Plus Plan.
Communities Pro: 10 Communities memberships and 80 Communities submissions per month.
Communities Max: unlimited number of Communities and 200 Communities submissions per month.
Communities Unlimited: unlimited number of Communities and submissions each month.
Tailwind’s Plus Plan comes with 250 SmartLoop posts, which is counted as 1 Pin to 1 Board. For example, if someone adds the same Pin image to 3 Boards, that would equal 3 SmartLoop Posts. Members can purchase PowerUps to add more SmartLoop posts on top of their Plus Plan.
SmartLoop Pro: 500 SmartLoop posts.
SmartLoop Max: 1,000 SmartLoop posts.
SmartLoop Unlimited: Unlimited number of SmartLoop posts.
Important! If someone has previously upgraded with your affiliate link and decides to purchase an additional Tailwind account or a PowerUp later, you will still earn the additional commission on those purchases! So be sure to keep teaching your audience about the value of all of the Tailwind Suite including: Tailwind for Instagram, Tailwind for Pinterest, Tribes and SmartLoop.
On top of our regular commission structure, we also offer flat bonus commissions for high-impact actions.
Disclaimer: All content submissions will be reviewed for quality, accuracy, and FTC compliance. Content submissions that lack any of the above will not receive the bonus or be eligible for paid promotion until the necessary changes are made.
Wait… did that say paid promotion up there?
Yes in fact it did! Part of the reason our affiliate program has been so successful is that we will pay to promote your content at no cost to you! This will help to grow your reach and rake in those hard-earned commissions that you deserve!
