Bring writers to Arqo.
Get paid for every seat
You make things screenwriters watch, read or listen to. We are two people building the screenwriting app we wanted, and before launch we are selling 500 Founders Licences: pay once, write on Arqo for as long as it runs. Share one link. Every seat sold through it pays you $25 for Pro and $45 for Studio.
What you earn
$25
Pro Founders Licence sells at $125 for the first 100 seats, then $149. Your cut is the same on both.
$45
Studio Founders Licence is $299, the one we tell writers who write most days to take.
| Pro seats | Studio seats | You get |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 0 | $250 |
| 10 | 10 | $700 |
| 40 | 20 | $1,900 |
Your rate is locked for every seat sold while it is in force. If we ever change it, the new rate only applies to seats sold after the change.
What your audience gets
Something you can recommend without squinting. One payment, no subscription. Every feature of their tier on web, iOS and Mac, sync included, for as long as Arqo runs, with 36 months of the AI allowance built in. A 14-day refund, no questions. Scripts are Fountain and FDX underneath and export any time, so nobody is locked in.
The terms are written next to the price, in the same size, on the Founders page. When you talk about the offer, point there instead of paraphrasing it.
How it works
01
We send you an invite
Write to us with where you post. If it fits, you get a personal invite link. Open it, sign in with any Arqo account, accept the terms.
02
You get your link
Yours is tryarqo.com/f/<your-code>. Make tagged versions per platform (/f/<your-code>/youtube, /tiktok, /newsletter) to see which one works.
03
Your audience lands on the offer
Everyone your link sends sees the Founders Licence page with your name and a note you write on top. You are the one who sent them, and the page says so.
04
You get paid
A seat counts once it is past the 14-day refund window. Earned money goes out on the 1st of every month through Stripe. No minimum.
Your dashboard
Sign in and you see what your link did: clicks, new visitors, accounts made, seats sold, and money pending, earned and paid. You edit the note your audience sees, make new tagged links, and connect Stripe for payouts, all in one place.
You see counts and dates, never a buyer's name or email. We don't store IP addresses or track anyone across sites. Link previews from X, Discord, Slack and the rest don't count as clicks.
The rules, in plain words
- Who gets the seat: the last partner link a buyer clicked in the 30 days before buying. An account made through your link stays yours for 30 days, even if they buy on another device.
- When it counts: 14 days after purchase, once the refund window closes. A refund or chargeback after you were paid comes off your next payout. Nothing is clawed back from your bank.
- Disclose it: say you are paid for the link (“#ad”, “affiliate link”, or plain words) where people see it before they click.
- Play fair: your own purchase earns nothing. No ads on “Arqo” search terms, no spam, no claims the Founders page doesn't make.
- Payment: in US dollars through Stripe, on the 1st of each month, no minimum. Stripe collects your tax details. Your taxes are yours.
- It ends with the window: 500 seats or hard launch, whichever comes first. Seats sold before then still pay.
The full partner terms are shown on your invite, and you accept them before your link goes live.
Questions
- Who is this for?
- People screenwriters already trust: YouTube and TikTok channels about the craft, newsletters, podcasts, teachers, writing groups. Size matters less than fit. A thousand working writers beat a million people who don't write.
- Do I have to use Arqo?
- You need an account to sign in to your dashboard. We'd rather you recommend it because you tried it, so write something in it first.
- I'm outside the US. Can I be paid?
- Payouts go through Stripe, which pays out in many countries. Tell us where you are when you write in and we'll confirm yours before you share anything.
- What happens after the window closes?
- The Founders Licence stops selling for good. Every seat you sent before then still pays out on schedule.
