Enter basic information about your primary platform, audience/following, and how you plan to promote Descript. It’s free to sign up, and there are no minimum sales required.

Earn 15% recurring commission through the first year of each new Descript Creator or Pro subscriber that you refer.
As an affiliate, you’ll get access to all of the tools you need to promote Descript and earn top commissions.
Whether it’s driving a single sale or hundreds, you’ll get paid for every subscriber you refer.
Payments will be automatically dispersed to your PayPal every month.
Our software allows you to track exactly who converted and when.
Our Descript Affiliate Partners tell their stories the best
"I recommend Descript if you’re a creator of any kind. I’ll just flat-out say it, it’s incredible. It blows my mind."
“Descript eliminates the ‘sucky’ parts of editing a podcast and lets you edit quickly and efficiently.”
“My social media management students love Descript. It allows them to take a quick audio clip and turn it into a powerful Audiogram, and simultaneously get a transcript that they can turn into a blog post, newsletter or LinkedIn article."
For now, we're only paying out through PayPal, although we'll explore other options in the future. Funds will be dispersed to the PayPal email that you signed up with through your LinkMink portal. If you need to change this PayPal account, log into your Settings to update this.
You will automatically get paid on the 15th of every month. It may take a few days for PayPal to process the payment, so please give it 3-5 days to see the funds hit your account.
Once you’ve created your account, you can log in here 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.
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.
The program is currently limited to creators based in the North America. If you're outside of the region, you can still apply now, and we'll approve your status at a future date once we're able to support global affiliates.
Once you drive your first referral, your link will be active forever! If your link isn’t generating traffic within the first 6 months, we’ll deactivate the account so that we can make room for other active participants in the program.
