Partners Overview

Partners are the entities that refer users to your apps and earn a share of the revenue they generate.

What is a Partner?

Section titled “What is a Partner?”

A partner can be:

  • Creators — YouTubers, podcasters, bloggers, influencers
  • Affiliates — Professional referral marketers
  • Other apps — Cross-promotion partnerships
  • Communities — Discord servers, Reddit moderators
  • Internal programs — Employee referrals, user refer-a-friend

Partners don’t access BitEasy directly. They:

  1. Receive referral link(s) from you
  2. Share those links with their audience
  3. Earn a share of revenue from referred subscribers
Section titled “Partner vs Referral Link”

It’s important to understand the distinction:

EntityDescription
PartnerThe person or entity (e.g., “Alice”)
Referral LinkA specific tracking code (e.g., alice-podcast)

One partner can have multiple referral links:

  • alice-podcast — For podcast mentions
  • alice-youtube — For YouTube content
  • alice-newsletter — For newsletter promotion

This enables granular tracking of where referrals come from.
