How it works

Three steps. The third one is the whole trick.

1

Apply

One form on Gumroad — name, email, and where you'll share it. You need a free Gumroad account so they can pay you.

2

Get your link

One link that covers all four books — LEAN 1000, Sauces, Snacks, and the free Sampler. Plus a swipe pack of captions and 20 images.

3

Share the free one

Post the free 25-recipe sampler. Anyone who clicks is cookied for 30 days — whatever they buy after that pays you, without you ever selling anything.

Why "share the free one" beats everything else

Asking your audience to spend $29.99 on a cookbook is a hard post to write and a harder one to keep writing. Handing them 25 complete recipes for nothing — full method, full macros, no card — is an easy post, it makes you look generous, and it costs them nothing.

Meanwhile the link has done its job: a 30-day cookie on every product. People read the sampler, cook a couple, and come back for the full book. You get 20% of that without writing a sales pitch.

What you earn

Real numbers, after Gumroad's fees, not a headline percentage.

Gumroad calculates commission on the sale and splits its fees in proportion, so the figures above are what actually reaches your balance on a full-price sale. Paid out weekly once you pass $10. A refund reverses the commission on that sale, same as everywhere.

Who this is for

  • Coaches and PTs. Clients ask what to eat. Hand them 1,000 recipes with macros on every one — and stop writing meal plans for free.
  • Fitness and nutrition creators. Especially if you already share things you use. This is a good thing to share.
  • Meal-prep and recipe accounts. Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok. 20 ready-to-post images included.
  • Anyone in a gym group chat. You don't need an audience. You need people who ask you what you eat.

What you can say about it

  • 1,000 recipes: 238 lunches, 442 dinners, 164 snacks, 156 sauces.
  • Lunches and dinners average 38g protein, every one under 15g fat.
  • Written for people who don't cook yet — how hot, how long, what it should look like.
  • A photo on every recipe. All 1,000.
  • A scale code on every recipe: cook it for one or for twelve, in amounts you can actually measure.

The rules, short version

Yes

  • Post the free sampler as often as you like.
  • Use a link shortener if you want — it still tracks, as long as it points at your Gumroad affiliate link.
  • Say it's an affiliate link. Your audience is fine with it and the FTC requires it.
  • Run ads if you like — just not on the words "LEAN 1000" or "ChuckyFuels" (see below).
  • Use the images and captions in the swipe pack however you want.

No

  • Don't buy through your own link.
  • Don't bid on "LEAN 1000" or "ChuckyFuels" as ad keywords. Anyone searching those was already on their way here — an ad in between just takes a cut of a sale that was already happening.
  • Don't post it to coupon or deal sites.
  • Don't promise weight loss or health outcomes. It's a cookbook.
  • Don't share the PDFs themselves. That's the sale you'd have earned on.

Questions

How do I get paid?

By Gumroad, straight to your Gumroad balance, on their normal weekly payout schedule. You need a free Gumroad account with a confirmed email — that's what the form asks for.

How long does approval take?

A human reads every application, usually the same day. The one thing that speeds it up is saying where you'll share it — a platform and a rough audience size is plenty.

Do I need a big following?

No. A trainer with 30 clients or someone in an active gym group chat often does better than an account with 50,000 followers. What matters is that people ask you what you eat.

What if someone clicks my link but buys later?

You're credited for anything they buy within 30 days of the click, on any of the four books. If they click a different affiliate's link after yours, the most recent click wins.

Can I get a discount code for my audience?

Ask. For affiliates who are posting regularly, a code in your name is an easy yes.

Takes a minute.

Name, email, and where you'll share it. That's the whole application.
