How it works

Three simple steps

  1. Apply in a minute

    Create a free account and tell us how you’ll share campaigns. We review every application by hand.

  2. Share your link

    Get your personal link and QR code for our site or any campaign. When you’re logged in, every Share button includes your code automatically.

  3. Earn and get paid

    Earn 15% of our platform fee on the donations you bring in, and request a payout from your dashboard.

Two ways to earn

Bring in donors, or bring in campaigns

Refer donors

Share any campaign with your link. When someone donates, you earn on that donation.

Counts for 60 days after they click

Refer campaigners

Help someone in need start a campaign through your link. You earn on every donation it receives.

For 12 months from the campaign’s start

What you earn

Clear, simple commissions

Your commission is 15% of our platform fee. Campaigners keep their full share and donors never pay extra.

  • No cap on how much you can earn
  • Paid by bank transfer or PayPal, minimum $25.00
  • Commissions available after 30 days

On a $100.00 donation

Campaign receives
$90.00

Some campaigns have a different fee, so your commission follows each campaign’s fee.

Affiliate FAQs

Still have questions? Email admin@realhelpinghands.com.

Do donors or campaigners pay more?

No. Your commission comes out of our platform fee. Campaigners receive exactly what they would anyway, and donors pay nothing extra.

How much can I earn?

You earn 15% of our fee on each eligible donation. For example, on a $100.00 donation our fee is $10.00, so you earn $1.50. There is no cap.

What counts as my referral?

Donations made within 60 days of someone clicking your link, and all donations to campaigns started by people you referred, for 12 months after the campaign is created.

What if two affiliates helped with the same donation?

If one affiliate referred the campaign and another referred the donor, the commission is split equally between them.

When do I get paid?

Commissions are held for 30 days to cover refunds, then become available. Once you have at least $25.00, request a payout by bank transfer or PayPal from your dashboard.

Can I promote my own campaign?

Of course, but commissions aren’t paid on your own campaigns or your own donations.

Do I need to verify my identity?

Yes, before your first payout, just like campaign withdrawals. It keeps the platform safe for everyone.

Do I have to tell people I earn a commission?

Yes. A short note like “I may earn a small commission if you donate through my link” is enough. Honesty builds trust.

Full affiliate terms
  1. You earn 15% of Real Helping Hands’ platform fee on eligible donations. Campaigners’ funds and donors are never charged extra.
  2. Donation referrals: a donation counts if the donor used your link within the last 60 days (the most recent affiliate link wins).
  3. Campaign referrals: if someone you referred creates a campaign, you earn on its donations for 12 months from when it was created.
  4. If two affiliates qualify for the same donation (one referred the campaign, another referred the donor), the commission is split equally.
  5. No commission is paid on your own campaigns, your own donations, or donations by the campaign owner.
  6. Commissions are held for 30 days, then become available. The minimum payout is $25.00. Refunded or disputed donations are deducted.
  7. To be paid you must verify your identity and provide payout details. You are responsible for any taxes on your earnings, and we may ask for tax information.
  8. Always tell people you may earn a commission (for example “I may earn a small commission if you donate through my link”).
  9. No spam, fake accounts, misleading claims about campaigns, self-referrals or paid ads that use our name. Breaking these rules can lead to suspension and loss of unpaid commissions.
  10. We may change or end the program. Earned, approved commissions will still be paid.
