Earn 50% commission promoting validation reports to founders.
An affiliate program for coaches, educators, and founder-community operators: 50% commission on report purchases your referred customers make within 90 days of their first visit through your link. Built for the audiences who already advise founders on what to build next.
Open to operators with 1,000+ followers across any single owned channel.
Why DimeADozen converts for your audience.
Your audience already pays you for clarity on whether to build their idea. DimeADozen sells the same outcome — a structured decision document on a specific business idea — for $9 (Starter) or $129 (Entrepreneur) or $179 (3-Pack Bundle). That price point converts where a coaching program with a $2,000 floor doesn't, which means more of your audience can act on your recommendation.
Validation reports of typically 100+ pages, built like VC analyst memos. Source-linked comp-sets and retention benchmarks. Not a chatbot to argue with. Not a course to work through. A structured downloadable decision document — something founders can defend to a co-founder, an investor, or their future self.
3,100+ paying customers. 3,200+ reports purchased. Built for indie hackers, bootstrappers, and first-time founders pre-SAFE-round — the exact wedge most coaches and educators serve.
Commission structure.

50% commission on report purchases your referred customers make within 90 days of their first visit through your link.
Payouts: monthly. Referral tracking and your affiliate dashboard run on Rewardful. No quotas.
This is for you if
You coach founders, educate aspiring operators, or run a community where the "should I build this?" question comes up often. You have an owned audience of 1,000+ across any single channel (newsletter, YouTube, podcast, Twitter, LinkedIn, Substack, community). You'd rather refer your audience to a $9-$179 validation report than try to answer their idea-specific questions one-by-one.
This isn't for you if
You don't own an audience yet, or you're running a paid-traffic arbitrage funnel. We only approve affiliates with organic audience reach — paid-traffic affiliates compete against our own paid-acquisition spend, and the math doesn't work for either of us.
How it works.
- 1. Apply. Email hunter@dimeadozen.ai with your channel, follower count, and how you'd promote DimeADozen. Vetting takes 24-48 hours.
- 2. Get your referral link. Once you're accepted, you get your referral link and affiliate dashboard on Rewardful, plus marketing collateral (writing samples, screenshots, brand assets).
- 3. Share with your audience. Newsletter, YouTube caption, podcast read, Twitter post, community resource list — wherever the "should I build this?" question lands.
- 4. Get paid monthly. Earn commission on every referred report purchase. Payouts go out monthly, after a 30-day clawback window.
FAQ
- Do I need 10,000 followers to apply?
- No. The application gate is 1,000+ followers across any single owned channel. We optimize for audience-fit, not raw reach — a 1,500-subscriber founder-coaching newsletter outperforms a 50,000-follower generic-business Twitter account on every metric that matters to us.
- What does 50% mean in dollars?
- A $129 Entrepreneur purchase earns you $64.50, and a $179 Bundle earns you $89.50. It counts for every report purchase your referred customer makes within 90 days of their first visit through your link.
- When do you start tracking referrals?
- From the first click on your referral link. Referral tracking and your affiliate dashboard run on Rewardful.
- What happens if my referral asks for a refund?
- If a referred purchase is refunded, that referral's commission is reversed.
- How do tracking and payouts work?
- Referral tracking and your affiliate dashboard run on Rewardful. Payouts go out monthly, after a 30-day clawback window. Onboarding is handled by our team at hunter@dimeadozen.ai — apply and we'll get you set up.
- Can I co-brand a custom landing page?
- Yes, once you're sending regular referrals: coach-specific landing pages with audience-tailored framing are available on request. Email hunter@dimeadozen.ai with the proposed framing.
If you advise founders on what to build, you already do the hard part. The affiliate program adds the economic alignment — every recommendation you make compounds.
