To access the ProThumbnailPreview Affiliate Program, you need to register on LemonSqueezy. Before accessing the affiliate program LemonSqueezy risk team needs to approve your account (to make sure you are human and not a bot).
Open an account, (type your name, password, email).
Validate your email address (you will receive an email with a link that you click on). After email verification, the panel will be displayed: "Welcome aboard, partner! Now, create your store.''
Type what you want your shop to be called (you don't need a shop, it's just a procedure).
When you are in a LemonSqueezy account, [important] click on this affiliate program link to access the affiliate account form.
Fill out the form.
Many YouTubers get confused here because they don't have a "site" and an "email list", so they think they can't sign up.
The Lemon Squeezy form is made for bloggers, but here's how to fill it out as a YouTuber to make it go smoothly:
1. Bio (Most important field)
Just need to explain that you are content creators.
Sample text:
"I run a YouTube channel named [Channel Name] focused on [Their Niche, e.g. YouTube Growth / Tech]. My audience consists of creators looking to improve their channel performance. I plan to promote ProThumb by including the affiliate link in my video descriptions, pinned comments, and by mentioning the tool in my tutorials/reviews."
(This is all Lemon needs to hear: "I've got an audience, I'll put a link in the description.")
2. Website(s)
YouTubers often don't have their own site.
What to write: A direct link to your YouTube channel.
Example: https://youtube.com/@name-channel
3. Social media
What to write: Again, a link to the YouTube channel, or to X/Instagram profile if you have one.
Note: If you only have YouTube, please put the YouTube link again. That's perfectly fine.
4. Website visitors (Monthly visits)
What to write: average number of views per month.
If you are a small channel: choose the lowest option (eg 0 - 1,000 or 1,000 - 10,000).
Important: not to worry about this. Lemon Squeezy is not going to count your views. This is just a statistic.
5. Email subscribers
Most YouTubers don't have a newsletter.
What to write: 0 (Zero).
After you send the form, in a few days they will send you an email with additional questions. Lemon Squeezy is a daughter company of Stripe and they are a little strict about security, so the procedure is what it is.
This is a standard check by the Lemon Squeezy Risk Team.
They want to make sure that affiliate partners are not spammers and that they have the right audience.
The questions they will send you on email and how to answer them in order to approve your affiliate account in no time.
How do you typically drive traffic...?
Sample text:
I run a YouTube channel focused on [Channel topic, e.g. YouTube Growth / Content Creation]. My strategy is organic content marketing. I plan to promote the partner product by creating tutorial videos, reviews, and mentioning it as a recommended tool in my video descriptions and pinned comments. I plan to start featuring the product in my next scheduled upload, typically within a week.
Is there a specific product...?
Sample text:
Yes, I am specifically applying to partner with 'Pro Thumbnail Preview for YouTube'. I believe this tool is a perfect fit for my audience of creators.
Please share your experience...
Sample text:
I have experience promoting software tools relevant to my niche (like video editors, SEO tools). My audience is highly targeted, so while I focus on engagement and trust rather than mass cold traffic, my conversion rates for relevant tools are typically healthy (around 2-5%).
