For creators

The only creator programthat pays you in year four.

25% of each subscriber's year one. 15% of their years 2–3. 8% for as long as they keep cooking. Most programs cut you off at twelve months. We don't. No sponsored posts, no content calendar — just your recipes.

Rates apply per subscriber, not per creator. A subscriber's clock starts the day they sign up, so newer and older referrals can pay you different rates in the same month.

What you get
01

Free Chef plan

Our top-tier plan ($13/mo). Yours, always, the day you're approved.

02

Your own chef page

fond.kitchen/chef/yourname. Every recipe you import, in one place.

03

Lifetime residuals

Recurring revenue that doesn't cut off at twelve months. Paid monthly via Stripe, scaled per subscriber — see the schedule below.

How it works

Three steps. No sponsored posts.

  1. 01
    Step 1 of 3

    Apply and get your profile

    We set up fond.kitchen/chef/yourname and activate your Chef plan. You import recipes in seconds — paste a URL, snap a photo, or type it out.

  2. 02
    Step 2 of 3

    Share the way you already do

    Post your Fond recipe links on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, your blog. Your audience saves the recipe to their own Fond library.

  3. 03
    Step 3 of 3

    Earn for as long as they cook

    When someone subscribes through your link, you're on their payroll. Payouts hit Stripe every month for as long as they cook — years, not months.

Why this isn't affiliate marketing

It's not a coupon code. It's your cooking.

Your recipes, your name

You're not selling someone else's product. You're sharing the food you already cook.

You use the app yourself

The Chef plan is the one we'd use if we didn't make it. Recipe library, meal plans, grocery lists — it runs your kitchen, not your feed.

Your audience gets something real

A full month free trial, not a discount code — and a recipe app they'll keep opening after the trial ends.

Lifetime residuals, not a bounty

Most affiliate programs pay once, maybe for a year, then cut you off. Here, a single post you wrote two years ago can still be paying out this month.

Before you ask

The honest answers.

It's not a replacement. Your blog brings people in; Fond is what they keep using once they're in. Your blog gets you a pageview; Fond gets you a subscriber paying you every month.
It's recurring, with a lifetime tail. 100 subscribers in their first year earn you about $194/mo. Year two, that same cohort pays you $116/mo. By their year four, $62/mo — still landing in your account from posts you made years ago. Rates apply per subscriber, so a cohort you signed today and one from two years ago pay you different rates in the same month.
From each subscriber's signup date, not yours. The clock starts the month they subscribe. A subscriber you brought in 18 months ago is currently paying you at the 15% rate; one who signed up last week is paying at 25%.
Year one is when you did the work to bring that subscriber in, so we pay the most then. Years 2–3 cover Fond's acquisition cost. The 8% lifetime rate is the thank-you — for as long as they keep cooking, you keep getting paid.
You're not. You're sharing your recipes — the app sells itself from there. You just provide the link to the recipe you already wanted to share.
Partner-referred signups get a full month free trial (vs. 14 days standard). That's long enough to build a real recipe library. Our referred users convert at roughly double the normal rate.
No. Post any recipe, from your blog or your videos or your cookbook. Importing a recipe into Fond takes about 30 seconds.
