The mistake: signing up through your own link to "save money"

New to recurring? It's tempting to use your own affiliate link for the tool you personally use. Most programs forbid this (self-referral) and can ban you and void all commissions.

Stay clean:
— Read the terms for "self-referral" or "self-purchase."
— Use a normal link for your own account.
— Don't ask friends to fake signups either; networks detect patterns.

Example: a $300/mo recurring stream wiped to $0 because someone self-referred a $15 plan to grab a discount. Terrible trade.

In plain English: don't risk the whole paycheck to save lunch money.

Try today: open your program's terms and search for "self" to learn its exact rule.
