## Affiliate Programme

You can earn from LakeBooking in two ways:

- **Refer anglers** and earn a commission on every booking they make.
- **Refer hosts** and earn a one-off bonus once they publish their first paid booking.

If you write about fishing, run a YouTube channel, moderate an angling community, or manage a tackle shop's web presence, both sides of this work for you.

The programme is in public beta, open by invitation. **Apply at contact@lakebooking.com.**

## How it works

1. **Apply** with a quick form covering the channel / shop / community you represent, audience size, and the country you reach.
2. **Get a referral link** like `lakebooking.com/?ref=YOUR-HANDLE`. Put it in a video description, a bio or a newsletter, wherever you reach anglers or hosts.
3. **Earn:**
  - **For angler referrals:** **10% of LakeBooking's retained commission** (the booking fee the platform retains) on every booking made by an angler who arrives via your link, for **60 days** after they sign up. No cap.
  - **For host referrals:** **€100 one-off bonus** for each new host who joins through your link and completes their first paid booking on the platform.
4. **Get paid monthly** in EUR or RON, via bank transfer. The minimum payout is €25.

## Who this is for

- **Fishing content creators**: YouTubers, TikTokers, bloggers writing about specific lakes, species, or methods.
- **Tackle and bait shops** with a website or email list.
- **Fishing club & federation admins** with a membership newsletter or website.
- **Fishing guides** who want to refer clients toward overnight bookings without managing the calendar themselves.

We're selective on purpose, because affiliate spam dilutes trust. Drop-shipper sites, generic coupon aggregators, and accounts with unclear ownership won't be approved.

## What we'll do for you

- **Honest tracking.** First-touch attribution with a 30-day cookie window. We share a real-time dashboard so you can see signups, bookings, and earnings.
- **Co-branded creative.** PNG and SVG logos, lake photography we have rights to, post-templates for Instagram and YouTube thumbnails.
- **A dedicated contact** above 200 referrals/year. A real person, not a ticketing queue.
- **Early access** to new features as we ship them.

## Rules: the short version

- **Don't bid on our brand keywords.** No "lakebooking", "lake booking", or close variants on Google Ads. We're already there.
- **Disclose the relationship.** Required by ANSPDCP and the EU Digital Services Act. We provide standard disclosure text in EN and RO.
- **No incentivised installs or fake accounts.** Self-referrals, family accounts, and bookings cancelled within 7 days don't count.
- **One referral per angler / per host.** First touch wins.

Full programme terms are sent with the approval email and form part of your contract with LakeBooking S.R.L.

## FAQ

**Can I be an affiliate if I also list my lake on LakeBooking?**
Yes, you can earn affiliate commission on referrals to *other* lakes, and the owner-referral bonus when another host joins through your link. You can't earn on bookings at your own lake; we detect this automatically.

**Do I need a company to participate?**
No. Romanian PFA / II, and EU/UK self-employed sole traders are fine. We'll handle the relevant fiscal documentation per Romanian law.

**Can I qualify for both rewards at the same time?**
Yes. A creator who sends both anglers and hosts through their link earns the angler commission *and* the host bonus, independently. The two pots don't cap each other.
