# Earn - Becoming an Affiliate

Freemius Makers have an affiliate program out of the box that enables their product users market the products they use and earn sales commission.

note

By default this is disabled for each product. The product maker needs to [activate the Affiliate program](https://freemius.com/help/help/documentation/affiliate-platform/affiliate-program-activation/.md) for their users to earn. If you do not see this section in your dashboard consider talking to the product maker to enable this for you.

## How do you join the program[​](#how-do-you-join-the-program "Direct link to How do you join the program")
