Applicants should be Descript users or content creators with an audience interested in podcasting, video production, or creator tools. The program is global and open to applicants across all countries. Applications are submitted through the official Descript affiliate page and reviewed at Descript’s sole discretion; approval notifications arrive within 14 days via the PartnerStack platform. Approved affiliates receive a unique tracking link to share on YouTube, Instagram, podcasts, or other platforms. The program pays a flat $25 one-time commission per new qualifying subscription with a 30-day cookie, though older sources reference a 15% recurring structure—affiliates should verify current rates upon approval. Google Ads and paid search promotion are strictly prohibited, and discount codes are not provided to affiliates. PayPal is used for payouts, and there is no minimum payout threshold. Denied applicants may re-apply at a later time.
