You built something with AI. Now earn from sharing it.

Where developers naturally refer people

You're already creating content that leads people to tools. A blog post about your workflow. A README that mentions the AI you used. A YouTube tutorial. A Discord answer where you recommend a platform. These all have referral potential that most developers leave untapped.

Anywhere you'd naturally mention unbottled.ai, add your referral link. People who click and subscribe earn you 10% of every payment they make - every month, forever. You don't change what you're saying. You just add the link.

Publish a skill - add 5% on top

Every skill you publish has a shareable link. When someone signs up through your skill link, you earn an extra 5% on all their payments - on top of the 10% direct referral commission. That's 15% total from one user, forever.

Here's what most people miss: you earn the 5% as the skill creator even when someone else shares your skill. A user finds your skill in the directory, shares the link with a friend - that friend signs up, you get 5% of their payments. Automatically. The platform tracks skill authorship, not who shared the link. Your skill works for you even when you're not the one promoting it.

Embed your skill link in a GitHub README. Post it in a developer Discord. Every person who signs up through it earns you both commissions simultaneously. You don't need to choose - the skill link carries both.

The math (actual numbers)

Direct referral vs skill referral vs power-user referral

The chain - what happens when your referrals refer others

When the people you refer go on to refer others, you earn a share of those payments too. Here's the exact breakdown:

Honest note: the chain bonuses get small fast. The 10% direct + 5% skill is where the real income is. If you build in public and your referrals are themselves developers, the chain adds up - but don't optimize for depth. Optimize for quality direct referrals.

Payout in crypto - no bank account needed

Earnings pay out in BTC or USDC. Processed within 48 hours after approval. Minimum payout is $40 - roughly 2 months from a single developer subscriber via a skill link.

Or convert earnings instantly to platform credits. If you're using unbottled.ai yourself, your referral income offsets your own usage costs.

Turn on the stream

You're already building, writing, and talking about AI tools. Adding a referral link costs nothing and takes five minutes. Adding a skill link to the same place doubles your per-user earnings.

The compounding math - recurring commissions, rising ARPU, developer-to-developer chain - works in your favor the more you build in public.
