# The Descript Affiliate Program

> Apply to be an official Descript Affiliate.

Do you enjoy Descript's powerful editing tools, and want to let your audience know? With Descript's Affiliate Program, content creators around the globe can earn cash just by spreading the word.

## How the affiliate program works

The process is simple - fill out the application form, then once you're approved, you'll receive a unique affiliate link that you can share on your favorite platforms like YouTube, Instagram, or your podcast.

Each time somebody uses that affiliate link to sign up for a Descript subscription, you'll receive a commission paid directly to your PayPal.

  <Accordion title="How do I track my referred sign ups?">
    Once you’ve created your account, you can [log in here](https://dash.partnerstack.com/login) to track your referrals. In your dashboard, you’ll be able to see exactly the amount of times your link was clicked and where it took place. As long as you’ve used your unique referral URL correctly, the data you see in your dashboard will be accurate.

    **What if my tracking looks off?**
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Details">
    The first thing to do is make sure that your referral URL is copied and pasted exactly as it appears on your account. If this is correct and you still think there are issues, you should make sure to let your audience know that they should use your specific link when signing up. If someone sees your link but searches for/finds Descript on their own instead, or browses to the website from another place, the conversion won’t be tracked against your link and it won’t count as your referral.
