Lineside Ink

Affiliate programme

Share it with people who’d get it.

If you write, film or post about railways, we’d rather work with you than buy advertising. Your readers get money off, and you earn a share of what they spend.

How it works

You get a short link of your own — lineside.ink/yourname— and a discount code to go with it. Anyone who follows your link has the code filled in for them at checkout, so they get their discount whether or not they remember to type it, and the order is credited to you either way.

At an example display price of £149, the usual terms would mean:

  • Your audience pays £134.10 instead of £149 — 10% off.
  • You earn £13.41on that order — 10% of what they pay.

We can agree different terms if your situation calls for it. Say so in your application and we’ll talk.

What we're looking for

Not reach. We’re a small operation making these by hand in Hertfordshire, and a hundred people who genuinely like trains are worth more to us than a hundred thousand who scrolled past.

Railway writers, modellers, enthusiast forums, YouTube channels, newsletters, local history groups — if the people who follow you would recognise what this is, we’d like to hear from you.

Getting paid

Commission is earned once an order is paid for, and settles after the 14-day cancellation period has passed. We pay against an invoice by bank transfer — we don’t hold your bank details on file.

You can see the full terms on the affiliate terms page. If an order is refunded, its commission comes off the balance.

Apply

Tell us a little about who you reach. We read these ourselves, and we’ll reply within a few working days either way.

A sentence or two is plenty. We’re interested in who reads or watches, not how many.

We’ll only use your details to run the affiliate programme, as described in our privacy notice.
