# Apply for the affiliate program

Submit an affiliate application, check the success message, and understand how approval differs from inviting friends.

Last updated: October 28, 2026

## How do I apply for the affiliate program, and is it the same as inviting friends through Referrals?

Becoming an affiliate and inviting friends through **Referrals** are separate options. To apply as an affiliate:

1.  Open **[https://idlepilot.com/affiliate/#apply](https://idlepilot.com/affiliate/#apply)**.
2.  Fill **Name**, **Email**, and **YouTube channel, site, or community URL**.
3.  Choose **Send my application** and wait for the success message.
4.  Wait for review and follow-up by email. Approval and an approved Affiliate Link come afterward; submitting is not automatic approval.

If sending fails, correct marked fields, check your connection, and retry. You do not need to be a paid customer to apply for the affiliate partnership. Approved affiliates receive their own partnership link and terms.

By contrast, **Referrals** inside an active paid customer account is the friend-invitation program with free-month rewards. Copying that customer invite link does not submit an affiliate application or make you an approved affiliate. To invite a friend instead, open your bottom-left account menu on desktop or **Profile** on mobile → **Referrals → Copy link**.
