How to earn promoting creators on Discord
Discord recommendations happen inside communities with ongoing conversations. The right starting point is a server that welcomes the topic and explicitly permits promotion. Contribute as an identifiable member, explain your affiliate role and let people choose whether to visit a creator's public work.
Ask for the right channel before sharing a link
A server invitation is not permission to advertise. Read the server rules and channel descriptions, then ask moderators whether affiliate recommendations belong there. A designated promotion channel may have its own limits on frequency and subjects. Use that space rather than interrupting a help channel or a live conversation. Make your identity clear and do not imply that moderators endorse your link. Avoid mass mentions, repeated invitations and unsolicited direct messages to members. A recommendation should remain understandable without requiring someone to join another server first.
Respect age restrictions without treating them as permission
Discord has age restriction requirements for content for adults. An age restricted channel does not override the platform's other rules or the server's decisions about promotion and links. This guide uses only SFW media and descriptions approved by the creator. Check the post and destination before publishing. Platform rules change, so read Discord's current guidelines and the server rules. Never use sexual material, misleading role names, fake moderator messages or earnings promises. Do not offer server roles as though they guarantee access the creator has not actually authorised.
Choose the offer and place the right link
Use a creator specific link for an approved recommendation, keeping the destination and affiliate disclosure together in the message. HerFans registration is for adults aged 18 or older and needs only an email address and a code. Use the single /affiliate dashboard to manage your promotion. The /affiliate/offers list shows creators who have enabled their own programme. Each creator chooses a rate of 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 percent of the creator's share of sales. Your dashboard provides a general HerFans link and links to specific creators. Choose the destination that matches your recommendation and publish it only where the channel permits that destination. A fan is attributed through the last qualifying click within 30 days. Revenue share continues for the lifetime of the fan you bring under the programme terms.
Understand the share before estimating commission
The affiliate rate applies to the creator share after the platform takes its 20 percent fee, never to the full purchase price. For a calculation example, suppose 18 fans each spend an average of 10 USD monthly. The creator receives 80 percent, or 8.00 USD per fan. At a 50 percent rate, your commission is 4.00 USD per fan and 72.00 USD monthly across those fans. This is an arithmetic example, not an earnings promise.
Separate recorded commission from available money
Enthusiasm in a Discord server is not an available balance, so plan from eligible purchases rather than role membership. Commission waits 60 days before becoming available. A payout requires at least 50 USD and a one time identity verification, using an IBAN or PayPal account in your own name. Refunds and chargebacks reverse the associated commission. Buying through your own links leads to account blocking. Never describe recorded commission as money ready to withdraw. Review your /affiliate dashboard before planning a payout, and keep your recommendations accurate when a creator changes what is publicly available. To promote creators responsibly, identify your affiliate relationship and explain revenue share without promising income.

How to get started
Check the publishing space
Read server rules and obtain moderator permission for the specific channel and destination.
Select a creator programme
Join with your email address and code if you are 18+, open /affiliate/offers, review the creator rate and copy the appropriate link from /affiliate.
Prepare an honest recommendation
Post an SFW recommendation with an honest disclosure and without mass mentions.
Review the outcome
Answer relevant questions, respect removal requests and check /affiliate rather than using member counts as sales estimates.
Questions and answers
Does an age restricted channel automatically allow affiliate advertising?
No. Age restrictions and promotion permission are different. Both Discord's guidelines and the server's rules still apply.
Can I use any link that opens correctly?
No. Technical access does not establish permission. Follow the channel rules for both the post and its destination, and use your general HerFans link or a specific creator link only where allowed.
How long can a referred fan generate commission?
Attribution uses the last qualifying click within 30 days. The programme provides lifetime revenue share from the fan you bring, subject to its terms. A click alone does not mean a purchase.
When can I request a payout?
Commission becomes available after 60 days. The minimum payout is 50 USD, after one time identity verification, to an IBAN or PayPal account in your name. Refunds and chargebacks reverse commission.
