Become an Advocate

Stand for something. Bring people with you.

This is where you make it official: tell us what you stand for, take your place in The People's Impact Network, and get a link that shows who you brought with you.

An Advocate is someone who stands for something and brings people with them.

A cause. A community. A person nobody else showed up for. Maybe you’ve been carrying it for years; maybe you’re naming it out loud for the first time. Either way, it starts with the same question: what do you stand for?

CuppyTv gives what you stand for a home in The People’s Impact Network — your own page, a way for people to stand with you for free, and receipts for what you do together. Cup is Advocate #001; he stands for student debt relief. You don’t have to stand for the same thing, and you don’t have to stand for just one.

Everyone who comes in through you joins the Impact Community, and the network remembers that you’re the one who brought them.

What being an Advocate gives you

A place in the network, and your people with you.

YOUR PAGE

Your card and profile

A card in the Advocate Directory and a profile page with what you stand for, your causes, your city and your links.

YOUR PEOPLE

Your own link

People who get Counted In through you join the Impact Community with your name attached, so you can see the community you’re building.

YOUR STORY

Your work, on the record

What you and your people do together gets told and documented, the same way Cup’s initiative is.

YOUR SUPPORT

A way to keep it going

When your people back the mission or shop through your link, part of it comes back to you. More on that below.

What happens after you hit apply

Four steps. No mystery.

STEP 01

You apply

The form is short. Name, email, where you are, and what you stand for. That last one is the part we actually read.

STEP 02

A person reviews it

Not a filter, not a bot. Usually within a few days. Partners take a little longer because product listings get reviewed too.

STEP 03

You get your link

Your own tracked link and a dashboard showing clicks and the people you’ve brought in. Nothing to install.

STEP 04

You take your place

Your card goes into the Advocate Directory with what you stand for — so people can find you and stand with you.

Advocates and Partners

Which one are you?

Everyone starts as an Advocate. Partners are makers, brands and organizations that also bring products into the network. Not sure? Start as an Advocate; you can add Partner any time.

Advocate
Anyone who stands for something.
  • Your card in the Advocate Directory and a profile page

  • A dashboard with your clicks, referrals and payouts
Partner
For makers, brands & organizations.
  • Everything Advocates get, plus:
  • List your own products in the CuppyTv Marketplace
  • Every Advocate in the network can share your products
  • Partner badge on your card and profile

Keeping advocacy sustainable

Advocacy comes first. This part exists so the work can keep going. When the people you bring in back the mission or shop the Marketplace through your link, here’s what comes back to you:

Their first month of membership50%
Every month after, for as long as they stay20%
Anything they buy in the Marketplace20%
Paid by PayPal or Wise once your balance reaches$25

It never costs the person you brought in a single cent more — your share comes out of CuppyTv’s. Wise means we can pay you almost anywhere in the world, not just where PayPal reaches.

Four things that are true before you start

These are the rules that keep this clean — for you, for the people who stand with you, and for the mission.

✓
Advocates are Impact Members.The Impact Membership is the gateway — any tier, from $5/month. You stand in it before you ask anybody else to.
✓
One level. Period.You earn only on people you directly bring in, never on anyone they bring in. There is no downline, no recruiting tree, no multi-level anything. Nobody earns a cent for signing up another Advocate.
✓
No income promises.What comes back to you depends entirely on who you actually bring in and how long they stay. Many Advocates will earn modest amounts. Nobody should do this expecting to get rich.
✓
Independent, not employed.You’d be an independent promoter, not an employee or agent of CuppyTv LLC. CuppyTv is a mission-driven company, not a 501(c)(3) — memberships and purchases are not tax-deductible donations.

What do you stand for?

Cup started with student debt relief. The next Advocate starts with whatever they stand for, and brings their people into the same network.

Same price through every link — your share comes out of CuppyTv’s, never a supporter’s pocket, and Advocates can never change base pricing. Earnings are calculated only on eligible purchases made through your unique tracked link; the recurring share continues only while the referred membership remains active. Earnings accrue and are paid once your balance reaches $25. An active Impact Membership is required to participate. Partner Program membership and Marketplace listings are subject to application and approval. Earnings are not guaranteed and results vary. This program involves no recruiting compensation of any kind.
