How to Become a CUE Affiliate (And Why You Might Not Want To)

If you’ve been thinking about promoting CUE Broadcast and earning some income, you’re probably wondering how to become an affiliate. Good news — it’s easier than ever. But before you jump in, you should know that not everyone needs to become an affiliate to benefit.

Let’s break down how it works now, what’s changed, and how to decide which route is best for you.

Step 1: Start by Signing Up as a Subscriber

Everyone who joins CUE starts the same way — as a regular subscriber. There’s no longer a separate “affiliate” signup form. You just sign up for the service like anyone else.

Once you’re in, you’ll have access to everything: over 1,300+ live channels, unlimited on-demand content, sports, news, and the flexibility to stream on up to five devices at once — all for just $2 a day. And the first 14 days, you just pay $14.99 as a trial subscriber (great deal).

Step 2: Decide: Affiliate or Just Refer 3 for Free?

Here’s where the decision comes in. After becoming a subscriber, you can choose one of two paths:

Option 1: Just refer 3 people and get your service FREE every month. That’s $59.99/month saved — basically $20 in value per referral.
Option 2: Upgrade to an affiliate and earn monthly for every active referral — with no cap. That’s real recurring income.

The big difference:

Referral credits = free service
Affiliate earnings = cash payouts (but you still pay for your own subscription)

Which Option Is Right for You?

If you’re just looking to cut your own bill to $0, stick with the referral system. Get 3 friends signed up and you’re done — free service every month. And you might want to have more people “on deck” in case one of your 3 drop out.

If you want to promote CUE more actively and earn long-term monthly income, go affiliate. Especially if you have an audience, social presence, or email list.

Who Should Become a Full Affiliate?

Affiliates still pay for their own CUE service, and they earn monthly for every subscriber they refer — with no limit. That can really add up if you’re promoting to more than a few people. It can become a part-time income or even just enough to cover your car payment or other bills like groceries.

I’m an affiliate myself, and I’ve been doing affiliate marketing for years. I have to say — this is probably one of the best affiliate programs I’ve ever seen.

You earn for every active subscriber — and it’s recurring. Not just a one-time bonus. Not just a short-term promo. This is monthly income for as long as they stay subscribed.

Most affiliate programs give you a small reward on the first signup, and that’s it. Then you’re back to chasing new leads. With CUE, your earnings stack over time. It’s the kind of program I wish more companies offered.

Groups and Non-Profits Can Sign Up and Earn

This is ideal for individuals or groups who want to monetize their audience or community. Here are just a few examples:

Homeowners Associations (HOAs)
School PTO/PTA groups
Churches or places of worship
Local sports teams or booster clubs
Fraternities and sororities
Online communities or forums
Podcast hosts
YouTubers
Local radio stations
College student groups
Gaming communities
Fundraising groups
Scout troops
Local businesses with customer traffic
Community centers
Nonprofits
Neighborhood watch or social groups
Political or campaign groups
Health & wellness influencers
Newsletter or blog creators

If your group has an audience or network, you can absolutely turn that into recurring income. You just need to sign up as a CUE subscriber and then upgrade to an affiliate. It’s simple — and powerful.

How Easy Is It to Promote CUE?

Promoting CUE Broadcast is surprisingly easy — especially because it practically sells itself. You’re offering people over 1,000 live channels, unlimited on-demand content, and live sports for just $2.33 a day. Most people spend more than that on coffee.

Whether you’re sharing it online or in person, here are some simple ways to start:

Text your friends or family — a quick message with your link can go a long way
Post on social media — Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or even your Nextdoor group
Use your email signature — add a line like “Ask me how I get live TV for $2 a day” with your link
Make mini flyers or handouts — perfect for events, bulletin boards, or leave-behinds
Create a business card with a QR code — hand it out casually or leave a stack at your local coffee shop
Use a QR code generator (like qr-code-generator.com) — link it to your referral or affiliate page
Print and post in your community — gyms, schools, church bulletin boards, break rooms, etc.

You can also use a domain name redirect to create a clean, memorable URL for your referral link (like yourdomainname.com). You can have that redirect to your affiliate link. It looks more professional and is easier to share.

No marketing experience? No problem. Just start conversations and share your honest experience. Most people are looking to save money on TV anyway — you’re just giving them a better option.

Final Thoughts

Becoming a CUE affiliate is a great opportunity — but it’s not required to benefit from sharing the service. Whether you’re looking to get free service or build real monthly income, you’ve got options.

Start by signing up as a subscriber, see how you like it, and then decide if you want to pursue the affiliate route. Either way, you’re not just cutting the cord — you’re creating a path to save or earn money every month.
