What's in it for you!

01

Real money. 10%, every confirmed sale.

No caps. No tiers gating the rate. Paid monthly, Net 30 after each calendar month closes — once the sale clears the return window.

02

Links, not codes.

Your name in your URL. Every sale tracked automatically. No awkward code-reads on stream, no copy-paste typos costing you commission.

03

Real product. Real culture.

GEAR Premium® Sidekicks plus licensed Grateful Dead®, Creature®, and Cheech & Chong™ drops. Stuff your audience actually wants — not a generic shaker cup with your name on it.

04

A new video every day. You never film a thing.

Active creators open their dashboard to a fresh brand-shot video every single day, with three ready-to-copy captions. Over 100 videos in rotation, so you can post daily for more than three months before you'd see the same one twice. And it's weighted — you and every other creator aren't handed the same clip on the same morning.

05

Bring your people. Get paid on what they sell.

Refer 10 creators and you earn 1% of everything they sell — on top of your own 10%, with no end date on it. It comes out of our cut, never theirs, so nobody you bring in earns a penny less. Hit 10 and it applies back across all of them.

06

Zero risk to join.

No inventory, no sign-up fees, no minimum follower count. We review every application by hand — but if you use the gear and have an audience, you're probably in.

How you'll promote

Real ways to promote. Real earnings.

You don't need a huge following or an ad budget to earn with MyGearLink. Most of our creators grow simply by posting content they'd make anyway — on the platforms they already use — with their own link attached.

There's a right way to do it, and we'll show you. When you join, you get a straightforward promotion guide: where to post, how to stay compliant, and how to get your first sales. No guesswork.

Post what you love. Share your link. Earn on every sale.

Get started

Ready when you are.

Drop the basics. We'll take you to the full application with your info already filled in.

gearglass.com/?sca_source=

Lowercase letters, numbers, dashes, underscores. 3–30 chars. This becomes your sub-source on UpPromote — pick something memorable.

No minimum audience. Day-one creators welcome. 21+ only.

First 100 sign-ups get a 10% discount on any purchase above $90 — stacks with your commission. Code shared with you once you're active.

How we compare

Every glass affiliate program looks the same on paper. We're not.

Most programs in this space were built in 2015 and never updated. They hand you a banner, a link, and a vague promise of “competitive commissions.” If you've signed up for one before, you know how that ends — three sales, no support, ghosted. We built MyGearLink for how creators actually work in 2026. Here's the honest comparison.

The biggest difference

We get it — not everyone wants their face out there.

A lot of creators in this space can't or won't put themselves on camera — a day job that can't know, family that doesn't, a profession that wouldn't, or just a preference. Whatever the reason, we get it. So we made it easy: you don't have to film a single second of content to run a real affiliate operation here.

1Open

A new brand-shot video waiting every day. Nothing to pick through.

2Copy

Pick one of three pre-written caption options.

3Paste

Into TikTok, Instagram, YouTube — wherever you post. Your link does the rest.

Prefer to make your own content? Voiceover, hands-only, product shots, animation — those all work too. The creators who never film themselves earn the same as the ones who do.

Why each one matters

On being faceless-friendly+
The single biggest difference between us and the rest of this space. Most affiliate programs assume you are the personality selling the brand, which quietly excludes anyone with a day job, a conservative family, a private profession, or just a preference not to be on camera. We don't. Voiceover, hands-only, product shots, animation, b-roll over music — every faceless format works. A massive and fast-growing category of creators (faceless TikTok, faceless Reels, niche YouTube) can run a real affiliate operation here without ever filming themselves.
On the cause+
The cannabis industry is now legal in most of the US. There are still thousands of people in prison for what's now legal. 1% of every sale goes to the Last Prisoner Project, supporting people still incarcerated for cannabis offenses. It comes out of our share, not yours — your full 10% is untouched. When your audience asks why they should buy through your link instead of clicking through to a competitor, this is your answer.
On licensed IP+
You can promote a generic house bong, or you can promote an officially licensed Grateful Dead piece. Same effort, fundamentally different conversion rate. Licensed cultural IP gives your audience a reason to buy beyond “I needed a new bong” — they're buying a piece of something they already love.
On commission rate+
Yes, a few programs advertise “up to 20%” — but that's the rate after you hit volume thresholds like $20,000/month in referred sales. Most affiliates never see those tiers. Our 10% flat rate is what most affiliates actually earn under those programs anyway, just without the false hope. We'd rather tell you the real number on day one than dangle a tier you'll never reach.
On transparency+
We don't bury terms. A sale is Pending for 15 days during the return window, becomes Confirmed when that window closes, and is Paid out 30 days after the calendar month closes. Worked example: a sale on May 5 confirms May 20, then pays out by end of June. No mystery, no “where's my money,” no email chains. Most programs leave this vague on purpose. We don't.
On audience minimums+
You don't need 10,000 followers to apply. You don't even need 1,000. We've approved day-one creators with strong content and turned down “influencers” with a hundred thousand fake followers and zero engagement. We look at the work, not the number.
A simple way to think about it

Most glass affiliate programs are vendor relationships. You're a sales channel. They give you a link, you give them sales, the relationship ends there.

We're trying to build something different — a creator program where the brand actually does its share of the work. We license the culture worth promoting. We give back to the people the industry was built on. We don't gate the smartest creators behind arbitrary follower counts. We pay fairly and we pay clearly. Your job is to do what you do best: put your link in front of an audience that trusts you, in whatever style works for you — face on, face off, your call.

If that sounds like the kind of program you've been looking for, you probably already know whether you're going to apply.

Giving back

1% of every sale.
Goes back to the cause.

1% of every net sale goes to the Last Prisoner Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to free people still incarcerated for cannabis offenses through clemency, expungement, and reentry support.

The 1% comes out of our share, not yours. Your full 10% commission is unaffected — every sale you drive earns you exactly what we've told you it will.

Commission terms

The numbers, up front.

Rate
10%

Of net sales — the purchase price after taxes, shipping, discounts, and returns. No tiers gating the rate, no caps.

Cadence
Monthly

Net 30 after each calendar month closes. So May earnings land by the end of June.

Minimum payout
$100

Balances below $100 roll over to the following month. There's no cap on rollovers — it stacks until you cross.

If you leave
Earnings are yours

Earned commissions are paid within 30 days of termination — even below the $100 threshold. Your money doesn't disappear because you stopped posting.

Sale lifecycle

Three states. You won't get paid until a sale is final.

1. Pending

A customer purchased through your link. The sale is tracked, but the 15-day return window is still open — they can return the product. Pending sales do not count toward your payout.

2. Confirmed

The return window has closed. The sale is locked in and will be included in your next monthly payout. This is when the commission is yours.

3. Paid

Net 30 after the calendar month closes, your confirmed balance is paid out — provided it's above the $100 minimum. Below threshold rolls over.

Worked example

A customer pays $100 using your link. Subtract a $10 promo code, $8 shipping, and $7 tax. Net sale is $75. Your commission is $7.50 — Pending for 15 days, then Confirmed, then Paid out in the next monthly cycle.

Channel rules

Organic is the whole game.

The glass space lives or dies on platform compliance. Stick to organic — your audience trusts you because you sound like you, not like an ad. Paid promo isn't banned outright, but it requires prior written approval from E8 Marketing (we respond within 3 business days). Run paid promo without approval and your link gets revoked.

✓ Allowed
  • Organic posts on Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube
  • Niche forums and subreddits where rules permit
  • Dedicated YouTube reviews with proper FTC disclosure
  • Your own newsletter, blog, or podcast
  • Word of mouth, in-person, your own community
✗ Not allowed
  • ×Paid ads on any platform without prior written approval from E8 Marketing
  • ×Bidding on GEAR Premium® or West Coast Gifts branded keywords in search ads
  • ×Content that doesn't fit the brand's positioning as premium glass accessories for tobacco and legal herb use only
  • ×Misleading claims, fake reviews, or AI-generated endorsements
  • ×Targeting anywhere your audience may be under 21
  • ×Cookie stuffing, deceptive redirects, or imitating Gearglass.com's look
Platform risk — read this

Some mainstream platforms restrict or prohibit promotion of glass, tobacco, and herb-related accessories — even organic content. Their rules change without notice. Suspensions, bans, content removals, and demonetization happen in this niche, and they happen to creators who haven't broken any actual law. You are solely responsible for your own account standing. E8 Marketing, LLC and West Coast Gifts bear no responsibility for any platform action taken against you as a result of promoting GEAR Premium® products. Know your platform's rules before you post.

FAQ

Real questions, real answers.

When do I get paid?+

Monthly, Net 30 after each calendar month closes. So commissions earned in May land by the end of June. $100 minimum payout — anything below rolls to the next cycle and stacks until you cross the threshold.

Why is a sale Pending for 15 days?+

Because Gearglass gives customers a 15-day return window. While that window is open, the sale could reverse. We don't pay you on Pending sales — only Confirmed ones. Once the 15 days close, the sale is Confirmed and rolls into your next monthly payout. This means you won't ever see money pulled back from a normal return.

Can a sale ever be reversed after it's Paid?+

Rarely — only via a credit card chargeback, which can happen up to 60-120 days after the original purchase. If that happens, the chargeback amount is deducted from your next payout cycle (per §2.3 of your creator agreement). Standard returns can't pull money back from your Paid balance because they always resolve before Confirmed.

Will I get a 1099?+

If you earn $600 or more in a calendar year, yes — IRS requirement. You'll provide a W-9 before your first commission payment (we'll send the form during onboarding), and a 1099-NEC will be issued after year-end if you cross $600.

Can I run paid ads?+

Not without prior written approval from E8 Marketing. Email contact@mygearlink.com to request — we respond within 3 business days. No response is not approval. Running paid promo without written approval will get your link revoked.

What if my account gets banned for promoting glass products?+

Some platforms restrict glass and tobacco-related content — that's the reality of the niche. You are solely responsible for your own account standing. E8 Marketing, LLC and West Coast Gifts are not liable for any platform action taken against you as a result of your promotional activities. Read each platform's rules before you post.

Do I need a minimum audience size?+

No. Stronger applications include audience numbers and links to your existing content, but we don't gatekeep by follower count.

Is there a launch bonus for the first creators?+

Yes. The first 100 sign-ups get a 10% discount on any purchase above $90 — WCG is running it as a single launch promo code on Gearglass.com, capped at 100 total uses then it's gone for good. The discount stacks with your normal commission, so a $100 order saves you $10 at checkout AND earns you ~$9 in commission, netting around $81 effective. Once you reach Active status we share the code with you privately. Keep it to yourself — once 100 uses are hit, the code dies, so sharing it around publicly can burn your own access. If the launch goes well, WCG has said they'll consider permanent creator codes after.

Do I have to film myself or show my face?+

Nope. Once you're an active creator, a new brand-shot video lands on your dashboard every day, each with three caption options you can copy as-is — download, paste, post. There are over 100 clips in rotation, so posting daily you'd go more than three months before seeing a repeat, and the rotation is weighted so creators aren't all handed the same clip on the same day. Plenty of our creators run entirely on brand content and still earn — your audience never has to see your face. Required either way: an FTC disclosure (#ad or your platform's paid-partnership tag) on every post that uses our content or your link.

Do I earn commission on my own purchases?+

Yes — your link works on your own orders too. Most affiliate programs explicitly block self-purchases; ours doesn't. If you also share a discount code, the discount and your commission stack on the same order.

What happens to my earnings if I leave or get terminated?+

All earned commissions are paid within 30 days of termination — even if your balance is below the $100 minimum. Your earnings are yours. Exception: a 45-day audit hold may apply if termination is for cause due to fraud or deliberate abuse.

What's the return policy for customers?+

Gearglass policy: 15-day window from delivery, product must be unused, customer pays return shipping. Damaged items get replaced, not refunded. Customer service is handled by West Coast Gifts.

What's the 1% donation about?+

1% of net sales is donated to the Last Prisoner Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to free people still incarcerated for cannabis offenses — offenses that have since been legalized or decriminalized across most of the country. The donation comes out of E8's share of each sale, not your commission. Your 10% commission is fully unaffected.

Who actually runs this program?+

MyGearLink is operated by E8 Marketing, LLC (Nevada), an authorized Master Affiliate of West Coast Gifts. WCG owns the GEAR Premium® brand. Your creator agreement, W-9, and payouts are with E8 Marketing, LLC.

About E8 Marketing

An independent company that runs this program for creators.

E8 Marketing, LLC operates MyGearLink as an independent company, under an affiliate agreement with the makers of GEAR Premium®. We handle the platform, payouts, and creator support; GEAR Premium® designs and manufactures the products we promote. GEAR Premium® does not own or manage this program.

In plain terms: the makers of GEAR Premium® build the glass, and we build everything around getting creators paid to promote it. When you sign a creator agreement, hand over a W-9, or wait on a payout, you're dealing with E8 Marketing — not the brand. That separation is the whole point, and we keep it clean.

We run the platform

MyGearLink is ours — the tracking links, the creator dashboard, and the sale lifecycle from Pending to Confirmed to Paid. You get a clean link with your name in it and a dashboard that shows exactly what you've earned.

We handle the money

10% flat commission on every confirmed sale, paid monthly. We collect your W-9, issue a 1099 if you cross $600, and send payouts Net 30 after each calendar month closes. On every agreement and every payment, E8 Marketing is your counterparty.

We support the creators

Every application is reviewed by a real person. Once you're approved we handle onboarding, your creator agreement, and the questions that come up along the way — not a ticket black hole.

We put content in your hands

Active creators get brand-shot videos in their dashboard, each with ready-to-post captions. Run under your link without ever filming yourself, or mix it with your own — your call.
