AI Affiliate Program: Commission Tiers

Most affiliate programs in the AI content space pay a flat rate with no upward path. nocensor.ai's AI affiliate program works differently: commission starts at 20% and scales automatically to 45% based on the gross revenue generated through an affiliate's referrals each month. The tier recalculates every month — performance determines the rate, not tenure.

What follows is a breakdown of the program's mechanics: how tiers are assigned, how commissions calculate on real numbers, how crypto payouts work, and what affiliate content tends to drive actual conversions.

What Is the nocensor.ai Affiliate Program and Who Can Join?

The nocensor.ai AI affiliate program is an open referral system available to any registered user on the platform. There is no application gate, minimum follower requirement, or required content niche. Any account can apply through the affiliate section, register a crypto wallet address for payouts, and receive a unique referral code.

Affiliate links work by appending ?via=CODE to any nocensor.ai URL. When a visitor arrives through that link, the platform sets a 60-day attribution cookie. If that visitor signs up and makes a purchase within 60 days, the commission credits to the referring affiliate.

The program is built for creators, publishers, and community operators in the adult content and AI art spaces — audiences whose followers are the most likely to become paying nocensor.ai customers. A content site, subreddit, Discord server, or newsletter that attracts people interested in AI image generation is a direct fit.

nocensor.ai does not prohibit promotion on adult platforms. Affiliates who operate in adult content communities can promote nocensor.ai openly without violating program terms. That specific channel access is unavailable in affiliate programs tied to mainstream AI tools, where adult-oriented promotion typically triggers account suspension.

How Commission Tiers Work: From Standard to Platinum

The affiliate program uses a four-tier structure. Tier assignments are evaluated automatically each month based on the gross revenue generated through each affiliate's referrals over the preceding 30 days. Promotions happen automatically; the Standard and Silver tiers can also fluctuate if monthly revenue moves across the $500 threshold.

The ratchet rule applies at Gold and above: once an affiliate reaches Gold tier (40%), that rate does not fall below 40% even if monthly revenue drops in a later month. Silver affiliates can oscillate back to Standard if a slow month brings referred revenue below $500. This creates a concrete incentive around the $500 threshold — it is the single most impactful milestone for most affiliates in the program.

Tier evaluations run on the first of each month. An affiliate who generates $600 in referred gross revenue in April automatically enters Silver at 35% for May's earnings. If May revenue falls to $400, June reverts to Standard at 20%. If revenue exceeds $2,000 in any month, the affiliate reaches Gold and the 40% rate becomes permanent.

Platinum tier is available by invitation and is not evaluated automatically. The 45% rate reflects the highest level of program participation.

How Much Can You Realistically Earn? Commission Math Explained

Commission is calculated as a percentage of the gross payment amount. If a referred user purchases a $5 credit pack, the Standard tier (20%) commission is $1.00. At Silver (35%), the same purchase generates $1.75. At Gold (40%), it is $2.00 per $5 transaction.

Volume and average order value are the two levers. A concrete example: an affiliate refers 60 new users per month through targeted content. If 12% of those users make a $5 purchase, that is $36 in gross referred revenue — Standard tier earns $7.20. If the conversion rate or average order value is higher — $20 average order, 50 conversions — the monthly gross reaches $1,000, which crosses into Silver territory and generates $350 at 35%.

Commissions are not capped per referred user. A referred user who buys credits once and returns three months later to purchase again generates additional commission from the same attribution. High-volume users on the platform make multiple purchases per month; each one generates a commission for the affiliate who originally referred them.

Commission hold period: All commissions enter a 14-day hold after payment confirmation. This window covers potential refund periods. After 14 days, commissions move to approved status and are included in the next monthly payout. Payments through certain gateways carry a 45-day hold, but the standard hold for most transactions is 14 days.

How Payouts Are Processed: Crypto, Timing, and Minimum Thresholds

nocensor.ai pays affiliates in cryptocurrency through monthly automated payouts. The payout cycle runs on the first of each month and covers all approved commissions that have cleared the hold period. Supported payout currencies are Bitcoin (BTC) and Litecoin (LTC).

Three conditions must be met for a payout to process:

1. Approved earnings for the period must exceed $20.
2. A valid wallet address for the selected coin must be registered in the affiliate dashboard.
3. Commissions must have cleared the hold period before the first of the month.

Earnings below $20 carry forward automatically to the following month. There is no expiration on pending balances — smaller months accumulate without penalty.

Crypto is the payment method because nocensor.ai operates in a category that mainstream payment processors routinely decline. Bitcoin and Litecoin provide consistent settlement globally, without the account freezes and chargeback exposure that affect adult-content programs trying to pay through traditional card rails. For affiliates in regions where local banking creates friction, this also makes payout logistics more direct than wire transfers or platform-specific wallets.

Wallet address registration takes under a minute from the affiliate dashboard. Commissions that accumulate before an address is registered are held and pay out once a valid address is added and the monthly minimum is met.

How to Get Your Affiliate Link and Start Sending Referrals

The signup process for the affiliate program takes approximately two minutes:

1. Navigate to the affiliate application page while logged in to nocensor.ai.
2. Enter a Bitcoin or Litecoin wallet address for payouts.
3. Submit. A unique eight-character affiliate code is generated immediately.

The referral link takes the form nocensor.ai/?via=CODE. It can point to any page — directly to the AI image generator, to a specific character page, or to the main landing page. All formats set the attribution cookie on the visitor's browser at click time.

The dashboard shows performance in near real-time: click counts (with hourly deduplication per IP address), conversion counts, current tier, 30-day revenue progress toward the next tier, total earnings, pending hold earnings, and full payout history. A conversion typically appears within minutes of a referred user completing a purchase.

No website or existing audience is required to participate. The referral code works in any context — a social post, a forum comment, a Discord message, an email newsletter. The cookie sets on click regardless of the traffic source.

Conversion Tracking and Attribution: How the Cookie Window Works

nocensor.ai's attribution model uses a 60-day last-click cookie. When a visitor arrives through an affiliate link, the platform records the arrival and sets a cookie timestamped to that visit. If that visitor completes a purchase within 60 days, the commission credits to the affiliate whose code was set at the time of purchase.

Multiple visits: If a visitor clicks an affiliate link, leaves without signing up, and returns directly 20 days later to create an account and purchase, the original cookie persists and the commission credits correctly — provided the browser has not cleared cookies in the interim.

Click deduplication: Click statistics record one counted click per IP address per hour. Repeated page loads from the same visitor do not inflate click counts. Conversion events are based on actual payment completions and are not subject to this deduplication.

Conversion definition: A conversion is a new referred user who completes a payment — not a signup alone. Users who register through the referral link but never purchase do not generate commission. The dashboard shows total conversions as the count of distinct referred users who have completed at least one payment.

Existing accounts: The referral attribution applies only to new signups. Directing the link to someone who already has a nocensor.ai account does not generate commission on their future purchases.

The 60-day window is longer than most comparable affiliate programs, which typically use 30-day windows. For affiliates operating through content channels where the path from first exposure to purchase spans several weeks — tutorial sites, review content, community forums — the extended window captures more of the conversions that would otherwise fall outside the attribution period.

Strategies That Drive Real Affiliate Revenue on nocensor.ai

Affiliates generating consistent revenue on nocensor.ai share one trait: they reach audiences already interested in AI-generated content or adult creative work, and they give those audiences enough specific context to understand what the platform does before clicking through.

Content formats that convert:

Comparisons against competing tools. nocensor.ai allows content that Midjourney, DALL-E, and Adobe Firefly explicitly prohibit. A factual comparison — covering specific capability differences, with actual output examples — answers the core objection before it forms. Readers who discover that mainstream AI tools block the content they want are already motivated to find an alternative.

Tutorials. Step-by-step generation walkthroughs, LoRA training guides, and pipeline configuration posts attract search traffic from users actively trying to solve a specific problem. Tutorial readers are further along the intent curve than awareness content reaches — closer to the point where they will register and test the platform.

Community channels. Subreddits, Discord servers, and forums focused on AI art and adult content creation are natural distribution points. nocensor.ai permits promotion in these communities, which most mainstream AI affiliate programs explicitly prohibit. This access to adult-oriented platforms is a direct structural advantage.

On link placement: Linking directly to the image generation page rather than the homepage tends to produce better results. Visitors arriving on the generation interface understand immediately what the platform does. Homepage arrivals face an extra step before reaching the product.

On the free credits offer: nocensor.ai grants free credits at signup, allowing new users to generate several images before any purchase is required. Affiliates who state this explicitly tend to see stronger signup rates. A zero-cost entry point removes the friction that would otherwise cause uncertain visitors to defer their decision indefinitely.

On tier progression: Reaching Silver ($500/month in referred gross revenue) is the most consequential milestone for most affiliates. The jump from 20% to 35% nearly doubles earnings on the same volume. For an affiliate generating $600/month in referred gross, the difference is $120 at Standard versus $210 at Silver — a gap of $90 per month from a single threshold crossing.

Conclusion

nocensor.ai's AI affiliate program offers automatic tier advancement based on monthly performance, with commission rates from 20% at Standard to 40% locked permanently at Gold. Monthly crypto payouts in Bitcoin or Litecoin, a $20 minimum threshold, and a 60-day attribution window are the structural terms.

For content operators, community managers, and publishers in the AI art and adult content space, the program's category permissions — no restrictions on adult-platform promotion — open distribution channels that comparable programs close off. The mechanics are straightforward; the ceiling on earnings is set by audience size and content quality, not a fixed rate.
