JFK Social Influencer Program

Earn 40%.

Of every subscription you bring in.

Your audience is the asset. We pay you forty percent of net subscription revenue from every paying customer you refer — for as long as they stay subscribed. Send them to your landing page, get credit when they sign up, and get paid every month they pay us.

Watch: how the influencer program works.

How the program works

A clean, four-step loop.

Get a link, send traffic, get attributed, get paid. No quarterly thresholds, no clawback traps on revenue we already kept.

Step01

Your branded landing page.

We issue you a personal Tracking Link and a landing page at jfksocial.com/i/[your-slug]. Share it on your show, your newsletter, your posts, your bio link — anywhere your audience already follows you.

Step02

Permanent first-touch credit.

When someone clicks your link and creates an account within a 30-day window, they are attributed to you. That attribution holds even if they sign up free first and upgrade to paid later — anytime in the six-month conversion window.

Step03

40% of net revenue, every month.

You earn forty percent of net subscription revenue we actually collect from your referred users. Premium plans are $19.99 and $39.99 per month. You keep earning for as long as the user keeps paying.

Step04

Monthly payouts in USD.

We pay out monthly, in arrears, to a U.S. bank account via Stripe Connect once you clear the $50 minimum threshold. You get a payout statement every cycle. We issue a 1099 at year-end.

What 40% actually looks like

Flat rate. No tiers, no caps, no “up to.”

If a subscriber pays us, you get forty percent of what we keep after refunds and processing fees.

$8/mo
Per $19.99 subscriber

Recurring, for as long as they stay subscribed.

$16/mo
Per $39.99 subscriber

Recurring, for as long as they stay subscribed.

$800 – $1,600/mo
Per 100 paid referrals

Annualizes to roughly $9,600 – $19,200 in recurring passive income.

Net subscription revenue is gross subscription revenue minus refunds, chargebacks, sales tax, and payment-processor fees. The exact definition lives in Section 1.4 of the Influencer Rev-Share Agreement.

Architecture, not advertising

Why we can pay 40% — and the other guys can’t.

  • Subscriptions, not ads.

    JFK Social makes money when users pay us directly. There is no ad sales team to feed, no advertiser veto over creator speech, and no incentive to suppress audiences advertisers dislike.

  • The structural rate the incumbents can't match.

    Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube depend on ad revenue per user. They cannot give you forty percent of something they have to spend on infrastructure, sales, and moderation — their economics will not allow it. Ours will.

  • Permanent attribution, not a sixty-day cookie.

    Once a user is credited to you, they stay credited to you. No "last-touch" steal where another network reroutes the conversion at the finish line.

  • Free-to-paid is included.

    You don't have to drive paid signups directly. Refer someone to a free account — if they upgrade any time in the six-month conversion window, you get paid on that subscription too.

  • You keep earning while they stay subscribed.

    This is recurring revenue, not a one-time bounty. A referred user who stays on JFK Social for three years pays you for three years.

Open by design

Open-source social media backbones.

Four open protocols and networks anchor everything we build. Your identity, your content, and your audience are not locked to a single company — and they never will be. If we ever fail you, you can leave with everything that matters.

Nostr

Primary Backbone

The open protocol JFK Social runs on. Your identity is a cryptographic key pair you own — not a username we can revoke. Posts relay through a distributed network of relays, so no single company can silence the network. If JFK Social ever fails you, your keys, posts, and followers move to any other Nostr client unchanged.

BlueSky (AT Protocol)

Federated

The protocol behind BlueSky, designed for portable accounts and pluggable algorithms. JFK Social interoperates with AT Protocol so audiences and content can flow between networks without lock-in. Algorithms are user-selectable rather than editorially imposed.

ActivityPub (Threads)

W3C Standard

The open W3C standard that Meta's Threads adopted for federation, alongside hundreds of independent servers. JFK Social speaks ActivityPub so your posts can reach Threads users and the wider fediverse — without giving Meta control of your identity, audience, or reach.

Mastodon

Fediverse

The largest established federated network on the open internet, also built on ActivityPub. Mastodon proved that a non-corporate social network can scale to millions of active users. JFK Social plugs into that same federation, so your audience is not trapped on one company's servers.

Why this matters: walled-garden networks can silence you by deleting your account. Open-protocol networks cannot. Your keys, your followers, your content are portable by design.

From application to first payout

Four phases. Sixty days, give or take.

Most accepted influencers go from application to first payout in under sixty days, gated mostly by how fast your audience converts.

Step 1 — Apply

Tell us who you are.

Where your audience lives, and what you plan to post. We approve influencers individually — no agencies, networks, or syndicates by default.

Step 2 — Get your link

Receive your Tracking Link.

On acceptance you get a Tracking Link, a landing page slug, and access to your influencer dashboard. The dashboard shows every click, signup, subscriber, and pending payout.

Step 3 — Promote

Drive traffic to your landing page.

Follow FTC disclosure rules — clearly mark paid promotion with #ad or equivalent. We provide the policy and templates so this is not guesswork.

Step 4 — Get paid

Complete payout onboarding.

W-9 and Stripe Connect within four months of your first earned rev-share. Payouts go out monthly once you clear the $50 threshold.

The program is currently open to U.S. citizens and U.S. residents only. Full terms — including attribution rules, self-referral prohibitions, payout onboarding, and FTC disclosure obligations — are in the Influencer Rev-Share Agreement and the companion Privacy Policy.
