How it works

Share a link. Earn for a year.

1

Share your link

Get a tracking link like longbow.careers/r/yourcode and put it anywhere your audience lives.

2

60-day cookie

Visitors who click are attributed to you for 60 days (the program default) when their cookie settings allow it at the click and at signup — even if they sign up weeks later.

3

Recurring commission

Earn on each Longbow Pro subscription payment your referrals make, for up to 12 months per referral. One-time purchases, such as the single-job unlock, don't pay commission.

4

Monthly payouts

Paid out monthly via Stripe, straight to your bank account, once your matured balance reaches your payout minimum ($50 unless your partner terms say otherwise).

Commission tiers

Rates that grow with you.

Every rate applies to each Pro subscription payment a referral makes during their first 12 months. Your tier is set by your conversions in the trailing 90 days, checked each time a referral first pays — and each referral keeps the rate it converted at.

Common questions

The fine print, in plain English.

How long does attribution last?

60 days from the click by default (your partner terms may set a different window), where the visitor's cookie settings allow the tracking cookie at the click and still allow it when they sign up. If someone clicks your link and signs up inside that window, the referral is yours — and you earn on their Pro subscription payments for up to 12 months from their first subscription payment. Visitors who decline analytics cookies, or who are in regions where they're off by default and haven't turned them on, aren't attributed.

When and how do I get paid?

Monthly, via Stripe, directly to your bank account. The payout minimum is $50 unless your partner terms set a different one — anything below it rolls over to the next month. You connect your own Stripe account during onboarding, so payouts are automatic.

What happens if a referral refunds?

Longbow offers a 30-day guarantee, so commissions are held for a matching 30-day window before they mature. If a payment is fully refunded inside that window, the commission for that payment doesn't pay out. Matured commissions are yours.

Who can apply?

Creators and professionals with an audience of job seekers: bloggers, YouTubers, newsletter writers, podcast hosts, career coaches, and community builders. Enrollment is open — tell us how you'd promote Longbow, get approved instantly, and connect Stripe to start earning.

How much can I actually earn?

Longbow Pro is $17/week, $37/month, or $97/quarter. At the base 30% rate, a single monthly subscriber is worth about $11 every month they stay, for up to 12 months. A hundred active referrals at base rate is roughly $1,100/month — and at Gold that's $1,850/month.

Which payments pay commission?

Longbow Pro subscription payments — weekly, monthly, or quarterly — for up to 12 months from a referral's first subscription payment. One-time purchases, such as the single-job unlock, don't pay commission.
