The ground rules
Four rules that keep your account, and ours, in good standing
Say it's an ad
Start the caption with #ad or “I earn a commission if you buy through my link.”
Keep it honest
Talk about what you learned. No promises about jobs or what anyone will earn.
Certificate, not license
The course gives a certificate of completion. Never call it a license or certification.
No search ads on our name
Don't bid on The Bar School or Bar Ready, and don't post ads that look like they're from us.
These match the FTC's rules for endorsements and the paid-partnership rules on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
Questions
Before you apply
Do I have to take the course first?
No. Students, working bartenders and bar owners can all join. Your posts will be better if you know what's inside, and the best ones show something real.
Do I need a big following?
No. Share it with friends, a group chat, your followers, anywhere it's allowed. One honest post to the right person is enough to earn.
When and how do I get paid?
Once a month, by PayPal, once a sale is 30 days old, in case of a chargeback. Your affiliate dashboard shows every sale and payout.
Do I pay taxes on this?
Yes. You're an independent contractor, so you handle your own taxes. Once you've earned $1,500, we'll ask for a W-9 before your next payout, and we send a 1099-NEC if we pay you $2,000 or more in a year (2026 rules).
Can I run my own ads?
You can boost your own posts. Don't bid on The Bar School or Bar Ready in search ads, and don't make ads that look like they come from us.
Do I earn on the recipe pack or the add-on?
No. Commission is on Bar Ready purchases only.
Can people use a promo code with my link?
No. Promo codes can't be used through affiliate links.
Do you approve new affiliates?
You can share your link as soon as you sign up. We confirm each new account before its first payout.
What if someone buys without my link?
We can only credit sales that come through your link, so put it in your bio and in every post.
