Most of the studios and creators who join NIWO arrive because someone they trust pointed them here. The affiliate program is a way to make that introduction count for something.

The new Affiliate Program page sets out three ways to earn by passing NIWO on. Each has its own reward, and all three run on the same simple mechanic: you get a code or a tracking link, someone signs up with it, and the platform credits you.

Creators: invite other creators

Every creator has a personal invite code, found under Referrals in the creator dashboard. When another creator signs up with your code, 10 NIWO bonus points are added to your balance automatically. The new creator does not have to do anything extra.

Bonus points rank you towards VIP creator status. VIP creators get earlier access to campaigns, a more vetted profile, and a role in the creator community where there is more to earn. Only creators earn points, and only for inviting other creators.

Game studios: bring in studios

Anyone can apply for a referral code, whether or not they make games. Share it with a studio that wants creator marketing in China, and when that studio requests access with your code, you earn 20% of what NIWO is paid by the studio for 12 months, starting from the date they sign up.

You make the introduction and NIWO does the rest: onboarding, running the campaign and following up with the studio. You do not need to take part or spend any time on it afterwards.

The studio you bring gets something too. Any studio that signs up with a studio referral code has one shorts video per game posted for free on NIWO's official social media channels in China.

Website owners: link to NIWO from your site

If you run a site that writes about games, you can link to NIWO with your own tracking link and earn the same 20% for 12 months on each studio that arrives from it, signs up and goes on to pay for a campaign. Every site is approved first, and the page includes a ready made link you can copy.

How tracking works

  • Your link looks like https://niwo.site/?ref=YOURCODE. A click is remembered for 30 days, so it still counts if the person signs up later.
  • If someone clicks several links, the most recent one counts.
  • You can also ask people to type your code in when they sign up.
  • Creator referrals show up the moment the new creator signs up. Studio referrals build as NIWO is paid by the studios you brought. You can watch both on your Referrals page.

The ground rules

There is one code per account, you cannot refer yourself, and each new account can use only one code. Every referral is reviewed, and fake accounts, self dealing and refunded invoices do not earn rewards. Cash is settled through an agreed transfer method such as bank transfer or PayPal, with no minimum payout.

The program page is the source of truth for terms and examples, including an earnings slider for studio referrals. There is also a Chinese version. Questions go to contact@niwo.site.
