Turn your followers, videos, and even your tweets and posts into real income
- Get your own promo code and share it with your followers — earn 20% commission on every book someone buys with your code, and they get a generous discount too.
- When a follower or friend creates an account with your invite code and joins the ZBookShelf Partner Program, they become your own money-printing machine: every sale through their code earns them 20% and earns you 8% too (nothing taken from their share). If someone else then signs up with their invite code and joins the program too, every sale through that third person earns them 20%, your original invitee 8%, and you 3% — you now have people working for you, without touching what they earn.
- Invite an author to join ZBookShelf, and once they start selling books, you earn 3% of every book they sell (taken from our own share, never theirs) — you become a partner in the platform and a partner in the book, sharing the profit with both.
Free to join. No inventory, no storefront — just your code.

The code they type at signup is the only one that counts.
If a reader, partner, or future author signs up with someone else's code instead of yours, their purchases — and everything they ever publish — belong to that person's tree, not yours. You cannot claim them later. Applying is what issues your own code; until then, every signup goes to someone else, or to no one.

Apply nowBuilt for people already close to books
If your audience already reads, writes, or recommends titles, this is a clean second income line — not a new business to run.
Authors
Point readers to the catalog — including your own titles — and earn on referred purchases, separate from your author royalty.
Readers & creators
Reviewers, educators, and list-makers — share what you already recommend and get paid when it converts.
Channels
Newsletters, classrooms, book clubs, and social. One link works across the whole bilingual catalog.

Applying takes a couple of minutes, and the sooner you invite others, the longer your multi-level earnings window runs.
Apply nowStraight answers
Who can apply?+
Any signed-in reader or author. Applying only takes a couple of minutes.
What do I actually earn?+
20% commission on every purchase made through your code, plus 8% when a partner you invite earns their own commission, 3% when that partner's own invite earns one too, and 3% from every sale of a book published by someone you invite — even if they never become a partner.
Is there a fee to join?+
No. Applying is free, and there's no inventory or subscription to pay for.
Can authors promote their own books?+
Yes. Your partner code can sit alongside your author royalty — the two are separate.
How do I get paid?+
You set your preferred payout method (bank transfer, wallet, PayPal, or Payoneer) once approved, and payouts are recorded against it.
How much can I make?+
There's no cap. Every code you share earns commission on every sale it brings in, plus multi-level earnings from the partners and authors you invite — the more actively you share it, the more it compounds.
What do I promote?+
That's entirely up to you. Your one code works across ZBookShelf's whole bilingual catalog, not just specific titles — share whichever books fit your audience, however works best for you: a post, a video, or just a direct recommendation.
Do buyers get a discount too?+
Yes — every purchase made with your code also gives the buyer a 25% discount automatically, on top of your own commission. It's built into the code itself, no extra step for either of you.
How long does it take to get started?+
Sign in (or create an account) and apply — it's free, and most applications are reviewed quickly. Once approved, your code is ready to share immediately.
