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.

- 1
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
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
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.
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.
I built Fond because no recipe app worked the way I actually cook. We're still early. No marketing team, no agency — just me reading every application and setting up every Partner page myself. If the numbers add up for you, talk to me before you sign anything else.
