Creators and agencies

For newsletter teams, YouTubers, podcasters, and consulting agencies that recommend SaaS to their audience.

A single dashboard for every SaaS deal a creator might recommend, with a sub-id that tracks revenue across newsletters, videos, podcast show notes, and client implementations.

Apply now

Newsletter teams, founder YouTubers, B2B podcasters, and consulting agencies share one structural problem: they recommend dozens of SaaS tools each month and have to manage a sprawl of individual affiliate programs to earn anything for it. Each program has a different dashboard, different payout schedule, different cookie length, and different rules about coupon stacking. The Creators track collapses that sprawl into one dashboard, one payout, and one consistent set of terms.

How it works

A creator joins the program and gets a unique sub-id. Any SaaSTweaks deal link with that sub-id appended (?ref=creator-name) attributes the click and conversion back. The creator earns 60% of the net commission SaaSTweaks receives from the vendor, paid monthly via Stripe Connect once accrued earnings cross $50.

Why 60%, not the full vendor rate

SaaSTweaks does the negotiation work, maintains the deal catalog, handles the affiliate routing, manages the vendor relationships, and absorbs the chargeback risk. The 40% that SaaSTweaks keeps funds that infrastructure. Creators who would rather sign up directly with each vendor are free to do so; the appeal of the program is that the creator does not have to.

Newsletter teams

The Newsletter sub-track adds three things on top of the standard deal links. First, a Beehiiv/ConvertKit/Substack integration that pulls the latest deals into a section template the writer can drop into any issue. Second, an A/B test layer that shows different deal copy to different subscriber segments and reports back on click-through. Third, a "deal of the week" embed that updates automatically without the writer having to swap links.

YouTubers and podcasters

The Video/Podcast sub-track ships a custom short-link domain (go.creator.com) that bypasses platform affiliate restrictions. Show-notes generation hooks into Descript, Riverside, and YouTube descriptions to auto-insert deal links matched to spoken keywords in the episode.

Consulting agencies

Agencies that implement SaaS for clients often build the same stack 20-30 times per year. The Agency sub-track lets the consultant attach their sub-id to a client's purchase even when the client is the one entering payment details. Commissions are split per the agency's preference (consultant-only, client rebate, or 50/50 with the client's budget).

Commercial terms summary

60% revenue share. Monthly Stripe Connect payout above $50 accrued. 30-day attribution cookie. No exclusivity. No minimum traffic. Sub-tracks (Newsletter, Video/Podcast, Agency) unlock specific tooling but use the same payout terms.

Who this is not for

Spam, coupon-aggregator sites that scrape deals without editorial value, and cashback or rewards sites that arbitrage affiliate cookies are not accepted. Applications are reviewed by a partnerships manager and rejected without appeal if the creator's primary traffic source is incentivized clicks.

Next steps

The intake form gathers audience size, primary platform, top 5 SaaS categories the creator covers, and a sample of previous SaaS recommendations. A partnerships manager responds within 2 business days with sub-id credentials and an onboarding checklist.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cookie length?

30 days from last click. Re-clicks reset the window.

Can a creator stack with their own existing affiliate links?

Not on the same click. The last click wins. Creators choose per-deal whether to use their direct affiliate link or the SaaSTweaks sub-id.

How is the 60% calculated?

On net commission received from the vendor after refunds, chargebacks, and reversals.

What if the audience is small?

There is no minimum traffic threshold. Earnings just need to cross $50 accrued before a payout fires.

Are coupon-aggregator sites accepted?

No. Sites whose primary traffic source is search for coupon codes or cashback offers are rejected during intake review.

Can agencies attach their sub-id to a client's purchase?

Yes. The Agency sub-track supports this with consultant-only, client-rebate, or split attribution modes.

Does the program work outside the US?

Yes. Stripe Connect supports payouts to 40+ countries. Tax reporting handled per local Stripe rules.

What deals can be promoted?

Every published deal in the SaaSTweaks catalog (currently 600+) is eligible. Drafts and archived deals are excluded.

Is there a leaderboard or top-performer benefit?

Yes. Top 20 creators each quarter earn a 70% share for the following quarter and access to deals before they go public.

How are show-notes auto-generated?

For supported transcription tools (Descript, Riverside) the integration matches spoken brand mentions to active deals and inserts the matching link in the description.
