How the SnugCV affiliate program works

If people ask you how to improve their resume, or you write about job searching, you can earn from recommending a tool you would use anyway. The SnugCV affiliate program pays a recurring commission on every payment from the people you refer, on any plan or credit pack, and the people you send start with extra free credits.

This guide is for the person on the sending side of the link. It covers what the program pays, who it suits, how to apply, how to describe SnugCV honestly and the rules. It makes no promise about income, because that depends on your audience and on what the people who see your recommendation decide to do. The terms themselves are on the public affiliate page and in the Terms of use.

What it pays

• You earn 30% of each payment from a customer you refer, on any plan or credit pack.
• That runs for 12 months from the referral, so a customer who stays subscribed keeps earning for you.
• A click on your link is credited to you for 60 days.
• Each commission is confirmed 30 days after the payment, once the refund window has passed. Refunds reduce commissions.
• Payouts are monthly, by PayPal or bank transfer, once your balance reaches $50.

The path from one click to one payout is below, and the order matters for when money shows up.

1. 1

   Credited to you for 60 days.

2. 2

   The account is yours and starts with 10 free tailored resumes.

5. 5

Who it suits

The program is for anyone whose audience is applying for jobs, in any field: retail, healthcare, trades, teaching, logistics, hospitality and office work alike.

What the people you refer get

Someone who signs up through your link starts with 10 free tailored resumes instead of the usual 5. That gives you something concrete to offer: a reader can try SnugCV on several real applications before deciding anything.

What they do with those credits is the product itself. They upload their resume once to build a profile, paste a posting, and get a resume that reuses only what is already in their profile, with a plain-language note on every change. How to tailor your resume to a job posting in about a minute shows that flow, and how to read your tailored resume explains the keyword and gap panels you would be pointing people to.

How to join

1. Create a SnugCV account, or sign in.
2. Open Earn with SnugCV in the sidebar and apply to the program.
3. Wait for approval. Applications are reviewed by hand.
4. Once approved, copy your personal link from the affiliate dashboard and share it.

While your application is waiting, the page says it is under review. If an application is not approved, you can apply again with more detail about where you would share SnugCV.

What the dashboard shows

The dashboard shows your clicks, signups and earnings, and the commission on each payment.

The same page is where you enter your payout details, by PayPal or bank transfer, and where earlier payouts are listed. A link to the partner kit sits under your referral link. The kit holds images, sample posts and the disclosure line.

What is true about SnugCV, in plain terms

Recommendations land best when they come from facts you can state without checking. These statements hold, and each one is something the person using SnugCV can see for themselves.

• You build a profile once from an uploaded PDF resume. See how to upload your resume and build a reusable profile.
• You paste a job posting, or use the Chrome extension on a job page, and tailoring takes about a minute.
• The summary is rewritten, the skills are put in order and the bullets are reworded in the posting's language.
• Employers, titles, dates and education are copied unchanged, and nothing is added that is not in the profile.
• Each change comes with a plain-language note, and the matched keywords and the gaps are listed.
• You can edit the result and download a PDF.
• The first few tailored resumes are free, with no card, and on the free plan a cover letter uses a credit the same way. Autofill is part of Pro, and the job tracker is free.

It also helps to know what SnugCV does not do. It does not promise interviews, and it cannot add experience that is not already in the profile. If someone asks for either, the honest answer is no.

How to promote it well

People trust recommendations that come from experience. A few things work better than a link on its own:

• Show a real tailored resume with its change notes, so people see what the product does.
• Say who it is for. It suits anyone applying to many roles who wants each resume to fit the job without making things up.
• Be clear that you earn a commission if they pay through your link.

A client or a reader will sometimes ask the question you are not allowed to answer with a promise. Here is one way to handle it.

• Reader

  Will this get my resume past the applicant tracking system?

• You

  I cannot promise that, and nobody honestly can. What it does is rewrite your resume for one posting using only what is already in your profile, and list every change so you can check it.

• Reader

  Is it worth trying?

• You

  The first few resumes are free and need no card, so you can judge it on a real application. I earn a commission if you pay for SnugCV through my link, so weigh my opinion with that in mind.

Here is a short recommendation you can adapt. Put it in your own words, add a real example if you have one, and replace the placeholder with your personal link.

A recommendation with a disclosure

The slowest part of a job search is rewriting the same resume for every posting. SnugCV does that step from your own profile: it rewords what is already there for each posting and lists every change it made, so you can check it before you send. It does not add experience you do not have. If you sign up through my link you start with 10 free tailored resumes. I earn a commission if you pay for SnugCV through this link: [your link]

Rules

The program has a few rules, and they are in the Terms of use:

• Disclose your affiliate relationship on every promotion.
• Do not make claims about guaranteed outcomes.
• Do not run paid ads on the SnugCV name.
• Self-referrals earn nothing.
• Coupon and deal sites are not accepted.

The Terms of use are the authority. Read the affiliate section before you publish anything, and come back to it if your plans change.

Before you publish a recommendation

• You have used SnugCV on a real resume or seen it used on one
• The post says plainly, near the link, that you earn a commission
• Nothing in it promises an interview, a callback or an offer
• Any screenshot is unedited and shows a real result
• You have not used the link for your own account, because self-referrals earn nothing
