CueLinks

CueLinks is an India-focused affiliate marketing and content-monetisation platform operated by Parity Cube Private Limited in Mumbai. It is aimed at bloggers, influencers, YouTubers, content creators and publishers who want to earn from the brands they already recommend. According to its homepage, CueLinks is trusted by 60,000+ publishers, offers access to 2,500+ campaigns from over 1,000 advertisers, and processes more than 10 million clicks per month.

About CueLinks

CueLinks positions itself as a "2-minute content monetisation tool." Instead of joining dozens of individual merchant affiliate programs, a publisher signs up once with CueLinks and can then generate trackable affiliate links for any of the brands in its network. The platform aggregates offers across categories including fashion, beauty and skincare, mattresses, books, credit cards and general ecommerce, and even facilitates access to programs like Amazon India Associates.

To make link generation easier, CueLinks provides several tools: the core CueLinks dashboard, CueApps, a Chrome extension, a WordPress plugin, a Telegram bot, and a Link Kit. This tooling is a core part of the pitch — publishers can auto-convert ordinary product links into commissionable affiliate links across their site or channel.

How the CueLinks affiliate program works

It's important to distinguish two things. First, CueLinks is itself an affiliate network: you join as a publisher (free), pick brands to promote, get your links, and earn a share of the commission each merchant pays when your audience buys. Commissions therefore vary by campaign and are set by the individual advertisers rather than by a single headline rate.

Second, CueLinks operates a "Refer & Earn" program — a referral scheme for inviting other publishers to join the platform. This is the closest analogue to a traditional affiliate/referral program for CueLinks itself. However, the exact referral commission rate, cookie/attribution window, payout method, minimum payout threshold and payment schedule are not stated in the material reviewed, so we cannot confirm those numbers here.

Signing up is done directly on the CueLinks website via the prominent "Join Now" call-to-action on the homepage. The company lists a support email and phone number, and offers FAQ and Refer & Earn pages in its footer for further detail.

What we could not verify

• The specific percentage or flat amount paid for referring a new publisher.
• Whether referral commission is one-time or recurring.
• Cookie/attribution duration.
• Minimum payout, payout method and schedule.

Who should promote CueLinks

CueLinks is best suited to creators and marketers with an Indian audience, since its campaigns, currency (INR) and brand catalogue are India-centric. Ideal promoters include:

• Bloggers and website owners in deal, coupon, review or niche-content spaces.
• Telegram channel operators and cashback/rewards apps (one testimonial comes from a rewards platform, GoSats).
• YouTubers and influencers who regularly link to shoppable products.
• Affiliate marketers who want a single dashboard instead of managing many merchant programs.

If your audience is primarily outside India, or you need clearly published, fixed referral terms before committing, CueLinks may be harder to justify without contacting the team first.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Large, established network — 60,000+ publishers and 2,500+ campaigns.
• Free to join and quick setup, with multiple tools (Chrome extension, WordPress plugin, Telegram bot, CueApps).
• Access to many Indian brands and programs (including Amazon India) through one account.
• Positive publisher testimonials citing good commissions and responsive support; a 4-star Trustpilot presence.
• Has its own Refer & Earn scheme for bringing in additional publishers.

Cons

• The referral program's exact commission rate, cookie window and payout terms are not published in the material reviewed.
• Strongly India-focused, limiting value for creators with global or non-Indian audiences.
• Commissions on brand campaigns vary widely and depend on each advertiser.
• The pricing page returned a 404, so customer/earning value estimates could not be verified.

Overall, CueLinks is a credible, well-established affiliate network for Indian publishers, and its Refer & Earn option gives affiliates a way to profit from recommending the platform itself. Because the specific referral terms aren't documented in the reviewed material, prospective promoters should sign up or contact CueLinks directly to confirm current rates and payout conditions before building content around it.
