How to choose creators to promote
Choosing a creator starts with the people who will read your recommendation. Look for an offer you can describe accurately to a relevant adult audience. The highest displayed rate is not a forecast of purchases or a reason to ignore a poor match.
Start with the audience and destination
Write down the language and interests your adult audience actually shares, without collecting private details about individual fans. Open the creator page and compare its public presentation with the recommendation you intend to write. If you cannot explain why that destination belongs in your publication, reconsider the choice. Do not invent specialist expertise, personal familiarity or audience demand to make an unrelated offer look relevant.
Check the offer before comparing rates
Browse /affiliate/offers and confirm that the creator has enabled her programme. Read the rate and whether she accepts all promoters or reviews each one. If approval is required, check your status before you publish her referral link. Do not present an application as an established collaboration. Record the visible conditions in your own notes so you understand what your recommendation is based on when returning to it later.
Make a comparison you can defend
Compare clarity of the destination, language fit, permitted promotional materials and your ability to maintain an accurate description. Commission is part of the decision, but it does not measure trust or predict sales. Avoid made up rankings and conversion claims. A practical shortlist contains offers you can explain without exaggeration. Review older recommendations when you edit a page, and remove claims you can no longer support with the public offer.
Understand the commission base
A creator decides whether to enable her affiliate programme. She chooses a commission rate of 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 percent of her own share of sales. HerFans takes a platform fee of 20 percent from a creator sale, so the affiliate percentage applies to the amount left for her, rather than the full amount paid by the fan. Check the creator offer before publishing a recommendation. A headline percentage alone does not tell a reader how the calculation works, and a higher rate does not establish that an audience will buy.
For a calculation example, a fan spends 10 USD. After the platform fee, the creator share is 8 USD. At a 30 percent affiliate rate, the commission is 8 × 0.30 = 2.40 USD. This is an arithmetic example, not an earnings promise. It also is not an immediately withdrawable payment. Commissions wait 60 days before becoming available, part is additionally held in a refund reserve, and a refund or chargeback reverses the related commission. Keep those distinctions in your own notes when comparing an offer or explaining the programme to someone else.
Keep the recommendation suitable for its channel
Promote only to adults aged 18 or over and use a service that permits the intended promotion. Read the rules for the actual placement, including its advertising policy when buying ads. Permission to publish an ordinary profile does not necessarily mean permission to advertise adult content or to link to it. Keep promotional text and images free of graphic sexual material, particularly on general audience channels. State clearly that the destination is for adults. Do not direct the recommendation at minors, use youth focused communities or present an age warning as permission to post wherever you want.
Disclose that your link is an affiliate recommendation and that you may receive a commission from qualifying purchases. Use materials you have permission to use and describe the destination accurately. Do not impersonate the creator, promise personal access she has not offered, invent testimonials or suggest guaranteed earnings. Check the relevant service and payment operator rules as well as the programme terms. If a channel does not allow the promotion, choose a permitted setting instead of hiding the destination. There is an abuse reporting option on the programme terms page. Keep a record of the relevant public link when reporting a concern, without publishing someone else's private information.

Questions and answers
Can I promote any creator?
Find participating creators at /affiliate/offers. Each creator enables her own programme and may accept everyone or approve affiliates individually. Check her offer and your approval status.
Is the affiliate percentage applied to the full sale?
No. It applies to the creator share after the 20 percent platform fee. The creator chooses a rate of 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 percent of that share.
What does lifetime commission mean?
You receive commission on qualifying purchases by the fan you referred for that fan’s lifetime under the programme terms. Future purchases and amounts are not guaranteed.
Where can I report programme abuse?
Use the abuse reporting option on the programme terms page. Share the relevant public reference through that route rather than publishing private information.
