The InputDojo Affiliate Program: 30% of First-Year Revenue for Language Creators
How the InputDojo affiliate program works: 30% of what your referrals pay in their first year, a landing page that gives every visitor a free month, live stats, and monthly payouts. Terms in plain language.
If you teach Japanese, Chinese or English online, or you make content for people learning them, you can now earn 30% of everything your referrals pay in their first year on InputDojo. This post explains exactly how it works, what a referral is worth, and how to apply.
What you earn
Thirty percent of every paid invoice for the first twelve months of a subscription, and 30% once on a 12-month or lifetime pass. At today's prices that is $23.70 for a Pro annual plan, $44.70 for Ultimate annual, $87 for a Teacher annual plan and $59.70 for the lifetime pass. Monthly subscribers earn you 30% of each of their first twelve payments.
Commission follows the amount actually paid, after any discount code, so a learner who uses a public code during a campaign still counts for you.
How referrals are tracked
You get a landing page at inputdojo.com/c/your-name. Anyone who signs up there gets a free month of Ultimate, and the referral is written to their account. There is no cookie that expires: for the first twelve months of any subscription that account starts, the invoices are yours.
A stats page shows signups, learners active in the last week, paying referrals, and your pending, available and paid commission, updated live.
When you are paid
Every new InputDojo account gets 14 days of Ultimate free and paid plans carry a 14-day money-back guarantee, so commission is released 30 days after each payment. Balances of $50 or more are paid once a month by PayPal, Wise or bank transfer in USD. Refunds void commission that has not been paid and are deducted from the next payout if it has.
The rules
- No buying through your own link, no paid ads on the InputDojo brand name, no discounts we did not publish.
- Affiliates are self-employed contractors. Payouts need an invoice or a self-billing statement.
- The learner-to-learner referral bonus does not stack with affiliate attribution.
Who this works for
The program fits people whose audience is already trying to read or watch real material in the language: JLPT and HSK exam channels, tutors on italki or Preply with a following, teachers who run study groups, and anyone whose comment section keeps asking "what app do you use for reading?" The honest pitch is the product's actual shape: read what you like, tap words, review them tomorrow, ask the tutor about the sentence in front of you.
Apply
The full terms, a creator kit with copy you can paste, and the application email are on the affiliate program page.
