As plaintext accounting book users, we all love the way we manage our accounting books. However, to unleash the true power of plaintext accounting software like Beancount and BeanHub, some technical knowledge is required. One of BeanHub’s critical missions is to make it easier than ever for anyone to enjoy the experience, even if they are not highly technical. We spent great efforts to make the software more accessible to all users.

However, many people still find it challenging to use due to the lack of available information or tutorials. We aim to change that and foster the growth of our community. We also believe financial literacy is essential for people to live happy and prosperous lives. Have you ever wondered if it would be rewarding to write articles, create videos, or teach others how to better understand their financial situation through bookkeeping while earning money at the same time? The BeanHub Affiliate Program is designed for exactly that! With more customers joining BeanHub, we can develop more features to make your life easier. You can earn money, and the referred user can also learn and enjoy the benefits of using BeanHub. It’s a win-win!

Now, you can sign up for the BeanHub Affiliate Program. We will review your application, and once approved, you can share a referral link or coupon code to introduce others to BeanHub. For each customer you refer, we will provide a 20% commission on their actual payments for the first 12 months. To learn more about the program, please read our Affiliate Program Agreement for additional details. Currently, the affiliate program is only available to BeanHub users with a paid subscription. Once you have an account and are signed in, you can apply using the following link:
