Your audience is teachers. Point them at a free tool they will actually use, and get paid when they
upgrade. No pitch required, no quotas, and you keep 100% editorial control.
What you earn Automatic payouts
30%of the $39/year subscription — about $11.70 a year, every year they stay
Recurringyou keep earning while they stay — no one-off payouts
Paid automatically to your PayPal through ThriveCart, 35 days after each sale (so refunds
resolve before anyone is paid). Commissions on refunded orders are reversed automatically. You do not need a
ThriveCart account — a free affiliate login is enough.
The Teaching Annotator is free: a bookmarklet that turns any web page into an annotation
surface — pen, highlighter, boxes, text, blackout boxes, screenshots, an object eraser and a fine eraser. No
iPad, no casting, no install, no student data anywhere. Teachers use it on Schoology, Google Slides, PDFs and
news articles.
It is genuinely free and stays free. It is also the best demo for the paid Tools Pack (seating
chart, class timer, schedule maker) — that is why this pays.
Paste the Affiliate ID from your ThriveCart affiliate dashboard and this builds your links.
Three shapes, all track the same sale:
Point at the free tool (best converting — send this one):

Or use the link ThriveCart gives you in your dashboard:
The free-tool link remembers your ID for 60 days, so it credits you even if
the teacher upgrades weeks later — and even if they wander through the rest of the site first.
What to say
Copy, adapt, or ignore — your voice is better than mine. Video, a blog post, a newsletter blurb: all fine.
Short (works in a video description or comment)
Free annotate-any-webpage tool for teachers — pen, highlighter, blackout boxes, screenshots, no iPad needed.
Works right in your browser. [your link]
One paragraph
I found a free tool that turns any webpage into something you can write on — Schoology, Google Slides, a PDF.
You drag one bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar and click it on any page: pen, highlighter, boxes, text, blackout
boxes for hiding answers, screenshots. No install, no iPad, no casting, and nothing student-related ever leaves
your browser. [your link]
Required, and easy to forget
Disclosure line for any post containing your link:
“This is an affiliate link — if you upgrade I earn a commission at no extra cost to you.”
The FTC requires that disclosure, and teachers trust you more for saying it plainly.
Assets you can use
Show it, don't sell it. The strongest asset is 45 seconds of you annotating something your
audience recognises. Open a slide or a PDF, click the bookmarklet, draw one circle around a mistake, black out
one answer, take a screenshot. Done.
Demo script, if it helps: (1) "Here's a worksheet I'd normally print." (2) click the tool,
circle the answer. (3) blackout the answer key, "now I can project it." (4) "It's free, it's in the link."
Screenshots and a sample clip: ask and I'll send a folder sized for YouTube thumbnails,
Instagram, and a newsletter header — in light and dark.
What this isn't
No quotas, no minimums, no monthly obligations.
No branded scripts you have to read — I will not ask you to say anything you don't believe.
No student data, no lead capture, nothing your audience would be uncomfortable about.
You can point at it once and never mention it again. That's allowed.
