An AI newsletter writer that learns your voice.
HeyNews trains on the operator's past issues to learn how they write. It watches their sources for new stories, ranks each story by relevance to that newsletter's audience, and drafts the next issue ready to review.
The operator still hits send. They just stop spending Sunday afternoons drafting from scratch. Plans run from $39 to $499 a month, so a single Pro conversion ($299) is worth about $1,375 over the 18-month window. Higher than most SaaS programs.
Three layers of earnings.
First month of every paid plan, regardless of tier
Months 2 through 18. Rate climbs as you refer more.
Of every sub-affiliate's commission, forever
Recurring tier breakdown
Your recurring rate climbs as you bring in more paying customers. The 35% first month is the same at every tier.
Every new affiliate starts here.
Earned once you bring in 15 paying customers.
Top recurring rate. Reached at 30 conversions.
Every paid plan uses the same percentages; higher plan prices scale the payout.
The math is simple.

- Months 2–18 (25% × $299 × 17)$1,270.75
- 18-month total per referral~$1,375
Assumes the customer stays the full 18 months at Bronze (25% recurring). Cross Silver (15 conversions) and each new customer is worth about $1,629 over 18 months. Cross Gold (30+) and each is worth about $1,883.
- 5 referrals~$6,877
- 25 referrals~$34,385
- 50 referrals~$68,770

Bring affiliates, not just customers.
When you refer another partner to the program, you earn 20% of every commission they generate, for as long as they're earning. No cap, no expiry, no separate enrollment.
Most programs pay you once for a customer and stop there. Bringing other partners in compounds. Your network keeps earning even when you're not posting.
Every channel is on the table.
Most affiliate programs restrict the channels you can use. We don't. Promote HeyNews wherever your audience already is, including the channels other programs forbid.
Server-to-server postbacks for advanced tracking.
If you're running paid traffic and need conversion data sent back to your ad network, the program supports S2S postbacks out of the box. No custom integration required. Configure them in the affiliate portal.
