I posted one TikTok about a Stardust novel and got 40 sign-ups that week. The commission just keeps coming every month without me doing anything extra.

I run a WhatsApp book group. One message with my affiliate link and I had 60 sign-ups in 3 days. Easiest money I've ever made — and it doesn't stop.

I write on Stardust and shared my affiliate link with my readers. They subscribe anyway — now I get 25% every month on top of my author earnings.

Questions

Everything you need to know

What is Stardust Literacy?
Stardust Literacy is South Africa's leading online platform for reading and publishing novels. Readers access thousands of local SA stories — romance, drama, Zulu novels, and more. Authors earn money by publishing their stories on the platform.
Is it really free to join as an affiliate?
100% free. There are no fees, no upfront costs, and no contracts. You sign up, get your link, and start earning. That's it.
When and how do I get paid?
Payouts happen every month between the 26th–31st. Payment details are confirmed in your affiliate dashboard when you sign up.
Is there a minimum number of referrals?
No minimum. Even one referral earns you a signup bonus plus 25% monthly. Milestone bonuses unlock at 50 referrals for extra rewards.
Do I need a big following to succeed?
No. Many of our top earners have small but engaged audiences — a WhatsApp group of 200 people or a TikTok account with 1,000 followers can easily refer 20–50 subscribers per month.
How long does my referral commission last?
Your 25% commission continues every single month for as long as your referral stays subscribed to Stardust Literacy. There's no expiry. A referral from month 1 can still earn you commission in year 3.
