What is an affiliate program, in plain English?

An affiliate is a person who tells other people about a product they like. In return, the company pays them a piece of every sale that comes from their recommendation. That's it. You're not an employee. You don't buy anything. You don't hold inventory. You just share a special link.

Every affiliate gets their own unique link (called a "referral link"). It looks like: empireexperience.org/?ref=YOURNAME. When someone clicks that link and then subscribes, our system automatically knows you sent them — and starts paying you.

Rich Off Travel AI costs $9.99/month. Your share is $4.99/month — every single month that person stays a member. If they stay for a year, that's ~$60 from one referral. Ten active referrals = ~$600/mo. This is called "recurring commission" and it's the most valuable kind.

You do not need a website. You do not need a big following. You do not need to be technical. If you can copy and paste a link, you can do this.

What you get

50% for life

You earn every month the member you referred pays — not just the first one. Cancel or refund reverses the commission, otherwise it's yours.

Lifetime cookie

When someone clicks your link, we remember them essentially forever (10 years). Whenever they finally subscribe — a week or three years later — you get credit.

Weekly Friday payouts

Every Friday, Stripe automatically deposits your available earnings into your bank account. You don't lift a finger.

Your link + live dashboard

One personal referral URL, plus a real-time page showing clicks, signups, pending earnings, and paid balance.

Stripe handles the money

Stripe Connect (a trusted payment company) handles your bank details, identity, and taxes. We never see your bank info.

Instant approval

Submit the short application and your referral link goes live immediately — no waiting, no gatekeeping.

The math (real numbers)

$9.99/month subscription × 50% = $4.99 per active member every month.

10 active referrals

$49.90/mo

every single month they stay

50 active referrals

$249.50/mo

every single month they stay

200 active referrals

$998.00/mo

every single month they stay

Not a promise of income. Your actual earnings depend on how many people click your link, subscribe, and stay subscribed. Refunds, chargebacks, and cancellations reduce commissions.

How to get started — step by step

Read each step slowly. There's no rush and no test. If you get stuck at any point, email support@empireexperience.org and we'll walk you through it.

  1. 01

    Create your free account

    Click "Apply in 2 minutes" at the top of this page. It will ask you to sign in first. If you've never used Empire Experience before, choose "Continue with Google" (fastest) or type in your email and pick a password. This account is free forever — you don't have to buy Rich Off Travel AI to be an affiliate.

  2. 02

    Fill out the short application

    The form has five fields. Here's exactly what to put in each one:

    • Your referral code: Pick a nickname, first name, or brand — 4 to 20 letters/numbers. Example: BRITTANY or TRAVEL22. This becomes the end of your link.
    • Display name: Your first name or brand name. Only we see it.
    • Where does your audience live? Just list the platforms and rough follower count. Example: "Instagram 8k, TikTok 3k — travel and lifestyle." Small audiences are welcome.
    • Why is this a good fit? One or two sentences is enough. Example: "My audience wants to travel more without spending more, so an AI trip planner is a perfect fit."
    • Payout email: Optional. Only used if we need to reach you about payments.

    Check the box agreeing to the terms, then click Submit.

  3. 03

    Get approved instantly

    The moment you submit your application, your account is approved and your unique referral link is live on your dashboard. No waiting, no follow-up email required.

  4. 04

    Set up Stripe Connect (this is how you get paid)

    On your affiliate dashboard, click "Set up Stripe Connect." This opens Stripe (a trusted, worldwide payment company) in a new page. It takes about 5 minutes and asks for:

    • Your full legal name and address
    • Your Social Security Number (US) or tax ID (used only for the 1099-NEC tax form Stripe files for you at year-end — required by law once you earn $600+)
    • Your bank account or debit card, so payouts go directly there

    We never see any of this information. Stripe holds it securely — the same company millions of businesses trust worldwide, including Amazon, Shopify, and Lyft.

    You cannot receive payouts until this step is finished. Once it's done, everything is automatic — you never have to log in to Stripe again.

  5. 05

    Copy your referral link

    On your dashboard you'll see a box with your unique link, like: empireexperience.org/?ref=YOURCODE. Click "Copy" and it's saved on your phone or computer, ready to paste anywhere.

  6. 06

    Share your link (see the next section for exactly how)

    Post it on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, in emails, in DMs, on your podcast description — anywhere your audience already reads or watches you. The more people who click, the more people who can subscribe, the more you earn.

  7. 07

    Get paid every Friday

    When someone subscribes through your link, a 50% commission is created and marked "pending." After a 30-day safety window (to cover refunds), it moves to "available." Every Friday morning, Stripe automatically sends your available balance to your bank once it reaches $50. You get an email confirmation each time.

    If your balance is under $50 on a Friday, it rolls to the next Friday — nothing is ever lost.

If people DM you asking 'how do you plan your trips?' — reply with your link. That single reply can pay you for years.

One rule (this is important)

Always disclose you're an affiliate

The FTC (US Federal Trade Commission) requires anyone earning a commission to say so. It's easy — just add one of these:

  • In captions: add #ad or #affiliate
  • In videos: say "this is my affiliate link — I earn a small commission if you subscribe"
  • In emails: add "This post contains affiliate links" at the top or bottom

Not disclosing can get your affiliate account paused and can get you in trouble with the FTC. It takes 2 seconds — just do it.

Words you'll see (in plain English)

Referral link
The special web address that has your code at the end. Anyone who clicks it and subscribes is credited to you.
Click
One person clicked your link. Doesn't mean they subscribed yet — but they're now tagged to you for life.
Signup / Conversion
A person who clicked your link and then subscribed. This is the moment you start earning.
Commission
The dollar amount you earn on a specific payment. 50% of every $9.99 = $4.99.
Pending
The commission is real but locked for 30 days in case of a refund. This is normal and it protects both of us.
Available
The 30-day hold is over. This money will be sent to your bank on the next Friday if you're over $50.
Paid
The money has been deposited into your bank account. You'll also see it inside Stripe.
Cookie
A tiny note your browser saves so we remember someone clicked your link. Ours lasts 10 years — effectively for life.
Stripe Connect
The payment company that handles your bank info, identity, and tax paperwork. It's safe, standard, and used by millions of businesses.
1099-NEC
A US tax form Stripe automatically files for you if you earn $600+ in a year. You'll get a copy for your taxes — nothing you have to do manually.
Clawback
If a member you referred gets a refund or does a chargeback, we take back the commission for that payment. Fair for both sides.

Common questions

Do I need to be a Rich Off Travel AI member to be an affiliate?

No. Being an affiliate is completely free. You can promote it without ever subscribing yourself. (Most affiliates do subscribe eventually because they can speak to it firsthand — but it is never required.)

How big does my audience have to be?

There is no minimum. We approve creators with a few hundred engaged followers and creators with hundreds of thousands. What matters is that your audience is real people who might want to travel more or start creating travel content.

How do I actually get the money?

Directly into the bank account or debit card you connect to Stripe. Every Friday morning, Stripe automatically sends any 'available' balance over $50. You'll get an email each time.

What if my balance is under $50 on a Friday?

It rolls over to the next Friday. Nothing is ever lost. Once your total available balance clears $50, it goes out on the next Friday's run.

What happens if someone I referred cancels or refunds?

If they refund within the 30-day hold window, that specific commission is reversed. If they cancel later (after being paid for), your past commissions stay — you just stop earning future ones from that member. Fair for both sides.

Do I have to pay taxes on this?

Yes — affiliate earnings are income. Stripe automatically files a 1099-NEC for US affiliates who earn $600+ per year. Non-US affiliates fill out a simple form Stripe walks you through. Save your dashboard exports for your accountant.

Can I run paid ads with my referral link?

Yes, with two rules: (1) never bid on our brand terms like 'Empire Experience' or 'Rich Off Travel AI' on Google/Meta — that competes with our own ads; (2) never make earnings claims we haven't made. Details are in the affiliate terms.

Can I have multiple referral codes?

One code per person keeps the dashboard and payouts clean. If you need a second code for a very different audience, email support and we'll look at it.

What if I mess up my Stripe setup?

You can restart the Stripe onboarding any time from your dashboard. If Stripe pauses your account for any reason, your dashboard will say 'needs action' — click it, follow Stripe's instructions, and payouts resume automatically on the next Friday.

Who do I contact if I'm stuck?

Email support@empireexperience.org. Real humans read every email. If you have a learning disability, dyslexia, or just prefer voice — say so and we'll send a Loom video walkthrough instead of typed instructions.

Ready when you are.

Free to join. 2 minutes to apply. Automatic weekly payouts. No caps.
