Creator strategies, commission ideas, and affiliate campaign playbooks for every App Store category.
Reach parents, teachers, family creators, educators, and trusted communities with a performance-based affiliate program built around the adults who choose apps for children.
With GoMarketMe, partners can promote your iOS or Android app and earn commissions when referred users make eligible in-app purchases or subscribe.
For apps designed for children, the acquisition audience is often the adult making the download or purchase decision. Parents, teachers, educators, and family-focused creators can therefore be more relevant partners than broad consumer influencers.
Affiliate marketing can make those adult-to-adult recommendations measurable while giving developers more control over who is invited to promote the app.
Family creators and parent communities already recommend learning tools, games, stories, and activities to other adults.
Educators can introduce useful apps to parents, colleagues, and learning communities when the product fits their teaching context.
Invitation-only campaigns can help developers choose appropriate partners and provide clear promotional guidelines.
For child-directed apps, focus partner recruitment on adults such as parents, educators, publishers, and organizations rather than asking children to act as affiliates.
Family and parenting creators can introduce age-appropriate apps to adults looking for useful products for their children.
Educators can recommend suitable learning, reading, creativity, or activity apps to parents and other teachers.
Parenting newsletters, websites, podcasts, and family-focused publishers can reach relevant adult audiences.
Where appropriate, homeschool educators and communities can promote tools that support learning or family activities.
Relevant educators can explain the age range, learning experience, or use case without overstating outcomes.
Existing adult users can refer other parents and families who may benefit from the app.
Your commission model should reflect your pricing, margins, retention, customer lifetime value, and any rules that apply to marketing a child-directed app in the markets where you operate.
Imagine a parent-purchased educational or creative app designed for children.

For a Kids app, that could mean:
For Kids apps, prioritize suitable adult creators and educators whose audiences consist primarily of parents, teachers, or other adult decision-makers.
The objective is not to recruit children as promoters. It is to build measurable partnerships with adults and organizations that already help parents and educators discover appropriate products.
A controlled affiliate program can help developers understand which adult partner communities generate valuable users while keeping partner selection deliberate.
