How Creators Can Monetize Their Influence Fairly
If you're a creator or influencer, you've probably experienced the frustration of unfair affiliate programs, opaque payment terms, and brands that ghost you after using your content.
It's time for a change.
The Problem with Traditional Affiliate Marketing
Most affiliate programs have major issues:
Opaque Commissions: You never know how much you'll actually earn until payment arrives (if it arrives).
Low Payouts: Brands take 90%+ of the value while you get pennies.
No Attribution: Multi-level attribution is brokenāyou only get credit for direct sales.
Delayed Payments: Wait 30, 60, or 90 days to get paid (if you hit the minimum threshold).
How Onlure Is Different
Onlure was built by creators, for creators. Here's how we're different:
1. Set Your Own Rates
You decide what your content is worth. Create rate cards by platform and content typeāReels, Stories, TikToks, YouTube videos, event coverage, brand ambassadorships. No one tells you what to charge.
2. Keep 100% of Your Earnings
Onlure charges businesses a small 1.5% insurance fee. You keep every dollar of your rate. No 20-40% platform cuts. No hidden deductions.
3. Get Paid Fast

No waiting 90 days. No minimum thresholds.
4. Verified Analytics That Prove Your Worth
