About Starlink

Starlink is a satellite internet constellation operated by SpaceX. It provides high-speed, low-latency broadband internet to remote and rural locations globally. Using advanced satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Starlink enables activities that historically have not been possible with satellite internet, such as streaming, online gaming, and video calls.

Suitable Affiliates for Starlink

While anyone can share a link, the program is most effective for:

  • Bloggers: Specifically those in the “Digital Nomad,” “Off-grid living,” or “RV Life” niches.
  • YouTubers: Tech reviewers and overlanding creators who show the hardware in action.
  • Influencers: Rural lifestyle creators who can prove the service’s utility.
  • KOL/KOC: Current satisfied users (Key Opinion Consumers) who are the primary target for this referral model.

Starlink Affiliate Software

Starlink uses in-house, proprietary software integrated directly into the Starlink App and User Account Portal. They do not use third-party networks like Impact, CJ Affiliate, or ShareASale.
