Case Study: VideoZeus

Brian White, a content creator with a passion for video editing and tutorials, transformed a few videos into into a lucrative passive income stream, earning up to $6,000 per month through the Kapwing Affiliate Program. Brian leveraged his company, VideoZeus’ Youtube channel to use and promote Kapwing in “how-to” video editing videos. His two biggest videos generated over 1M views. Having pinned his Kapwing referral link in the comments section, Brian is still earning passive income from these two videos today. Brian said, “With the Kapwing Affiliate Program, I am making substantial passive income just by creating a few tutorial videos. The most viewed video on my channel is actually a video about Kapwing!”

Our Competitive Edge

Other industry incumbents pay one time payouts in the $30-$50 range. A recurring commission with step-ups builds longer term brand equity between you and us.

• Recurring Income That Lasts: Unlike Adobe and Canva’s one-and-done payouts, or the standard 24-month commissions cap, we pay you for as long as your referrals stay subscribed. That’s real passive income for the long haul.
• Performance Step-Ups: Our tiered system rewards your hustle—5% bumps at 25% and 30% keeps you making more, outpacing any video editing competitor.
• Creator-Focused Fit: Your audience trusts your recommendations over time. Our scalable commissions match that loyalty, letting you earn more as your influence grows.
• No Cap on Earnings: The more you promote, the more you earn—the sky’s the limit!

Additional Program Details

• Tracking: Powered by Tapfiliate, providing real-time data on clicks, conversions, and revenue.
• Cookie Duration: 30 days—users who click your link and subscribe within 30 days count toward your commissions.
• Support: Any affiliate can file a helpdesk ticket with Kapwing Support. These tickets will be routed to our team overseeing affiliates.
• Upgrade/Downgrade: Tiers are evaluated quarterly. Meet the requirements to move up; fall below the maintenance threshold, and you’ll drop to the appropriate tier.
