LIVE CREATOR INDEX
Affiliate Programs for Creators
Creator affiliate programs can turn useful recommendations into revenue, but the programs themselves vary dramatically. LCI tracks creator-relevant affiliate and referral programs, their published commission structures, eligibility, attribution windows, and official sources.
Trust note: Commission rates, eligibility, attribution rules, and program availability can change. Always review the current official terms before promoting a program.

Directory — current verification status
Verified means LCI reviewed the material claims displayed in the record against current official sources. Needs Recheck means one or more material fields remain uncertain, incomplete, stale, or require additional current-source confirmation. Closed / Paused means official evidence indicates the program is unavailable, closed, paused, or no longer accepting relevant participation.
Verified does not mean guaranteed acceptance, guaranteed commissions, guaranteed conversions, endorsement of LCI by the company, endorsement of the company by LCI, or that terms will remain unchanged.
This is a structured Live Creator Index directory for affiliate and referral programs related to products and services creators may genuinely use or recommend. Published commission rates are factual program terms, not promises about creator income.

How LCI Verifies Programs
Verified means LCI reviewed the material claims displayed in the record against current official sources. Needs Recheck means one or more material fields remain uncertain, incomplete, stale, or require additional current-source confirmation. Closed / Paused means official evidence indicates the program is unavailable, closed, paused, or no longer accepting relevant participation. Verified does not mean guaranteed acceptance, guaranteed commissions, guaranteed conversions, endorsement by LCI, endorsement of LCI by the company, or that every program term will remain unchanged.
Requirements, rates, tiers, cookie windows, payout methods, and campaign availability can change. LCI marks changeable information and points creators back to official program documentation.
LCI and Affiliate Links
LCI may participate in some programs listed in this directory. When an LCI link can generate compensation, that relationship should be clearly disclosed.
Participation in a program should not determine whether the program is listed, its verification status, whether its drawbacks or restrictions are described, or its position purely because it pays LCI.
Currently known LCI status: Kit – LCI has applied to the affiliate program. This does not claim LCI is approved.
This page uses official company URLs only and does not include LCI affiliate or referral URLs.
The Affiliate Index Is Growing
Future LCI versions may support filters by creator type, product category, commission model, recurring versus one-time payouts, cookie window, application required, audience requirements, and country or region.
Those filters do not exist yet. This page is the editorial foundation for a more structured creator opportunity database.
