How it works

Sign up

Takes a minute. You get your own link and a dashboard showing clicks, sales and what you're owed.

Share it

Video description, newsletter, a pinned comment, a story. Wherever you'd naturally mention race week.

Get paid

Commission is released 30 days after the sale and paid by PayPal once you've passed $25.

The honest version

This is a small, independent operation, so here is exactly how it works rather than a page of marketing.

What earns commission

The Race Week Playbook, at $27. You earn 50% of that — $13.50 — on every copy sold through your link.

The Pacing & Fueling Planner, the Support Crew Cheat Sheet and the post-purchase bundle do not pay commission. They're priced at $9 to $15 and exist to look after people who've already bought, not as a second thing to sell. I'd rather pay you properly on one product than a token amount on four.

How you get paid

Commission is held for 30 days after the sale, then released.
Once your released balance passes $25, it's paid out by PayPal — that's two sales.
Refunded orders earn nothing. Buyers get 14 days, no questions asked, and the 30-day hold means a refund never claws money back from you after you've been paid.

Tracking

Your link carries your own affiliate ID. A visitor who clicks it is tracked by cookie, and the credit follows them through to checkout — including onto the order form, which sits on the same domain for exactly that reason. If someone clears their cookies or buys on a different device, the sale can't be attributed. That's a limit of how this works everywhere, not a policy.

What's not allowed

Paid ads bidding on "The Rookie's Route", "Race Week Playbook" or close variants.
Claiming the guide is produced by, endorsed by, or affiliated with The IRONMAN Group or any race organiser. It isn't, and saying so would land on both of us.
Promising results, finish times, or anything the guide doesn't actually deliver.
Coupon, cashback or incentive sites, and spam of any kind.
Buying through your own link.

Break these and the account gets closed and unpaid commission is forfeited. It's never had to happen and I'd rather it didn't start.

What I'd ask

Recommend it because you'd genuinely point a nervous first-timer at it. It's written from one person's race, it's honest about what it is, and it isn't for everybody. If it doesn't fit your audience, don't force it — a recommendation you don't mean costs you more than $13.50.

Want a copy first? Fair. Email hello@therookiesroute.com, tell me where you'd share it, and I'll send you the Playbook free so you can read it before you put your name to it.
