💎 Don’t Follow Back — Creator Referral Guide

Welcome to the DFB Creator Program — you help people clean up their followers, we help you get paid for it.
Each paid unlock that comes from your link earns you 80% after processing costs.

🔗 Your Referral Link

Use your personal referral link anywhere you post:

https://dontfollowback.com/?ref=YOURNAME
or
https://dontfollowback.com/r/YOURNAME

Everything tracks automatically once someone pays.

📸 How the App Works

  • ✅ No Instagram login required — users safely upload their Instagram data export ZIP.
  • 📂 The app automatically sorts, filters, and analyzes their data for real results.
  • 🧭 Users instantly see who doesn’t follow them back and other key metrics.
  • ⚡ They only get prompted to pay after working results are ready — reducing refunds and keeping satisfaction high.
  • 💳 Unlock with Stripe / Apple Pay / PayPal / or Crypto — whatever’s easiest.
  • 👁️ Users can mark accounts as ignored (like @7eleven or @garyvee), hide deactivated accounts, and click any handle to visit the actual Instagram profile.
  • 💾 When they save a Snapshot (top of results), it stores their results and settings to their phone — so next time, it compares changes automatically and reveals new unfollowers.

💭 Why They Should Use DFB

  • ⚙️ It still works even after Instagram changed how exports are structured.
  • 🧩 No login, no sign-up, no account risk.
  • 🧹 Remove bots, filter fake or compromised profiles.
  • ⏳ Saves hours of manually checking — gives instant clarity on who supports you.
  • 📈 Helps users clean up inactive followers, boost engagement, and understand their real audience.
  • 🔐 Privacy-first: nothing stored on servers — their data stays local.

💡 How to Pitch It Creatively

Forget plain app ads — show the emotion behind it. People love authenticity and humor.

Skits or ideas:

  • 📱 Show someone scrolling and realizing a close friend unfollowed them (“Wait… they unfollowed me? 😭”).
  • 🎭 Street interviews — ask, “You know you can see who doesn’t follow you back, right?” and show reactions.
  • 🎬 Simulate DFB on-screen: when someone “uploads,” overlay their face reacting to names popping up.
  • 🎤 Voiceovers like “That one person you always like their posts… yeah, they don’t follow you.”

Situational captions:

  • “When your ex still views stories but doesn’t follow 👀”
  • “When your friend says they ‘cleaned their feed’ 😒”
  • “Don’t Follow Back — find out who’s lying about support.”
  • “They stopped liking pics, I stopped following energy.”

🎥 Tutorial Version / How-To Promo

If you want to show others how the app works, make a 30–45 second tutorial or demo that’s authentic, quick, and compliant:

Suggested structure

  1. Intro (2–4s): “Here’s how I check who doesn’t follow back.”
  2. Upload (5s): Show the homepage, the upload export ZIP process — say “No login required.”
  3. Preview (5–7s): Scroll through the “non followers” preview (blur or use fake handles).
  4. Unlock (3–5s): Tap unlock — Stripe / Apple Pay / PayPal / Crypto.
  5. Snapshot (5–7s): Tap “Save Snapshot” and explain: “Next time, this shows who unfollowed.”
  6. Top 10 Loyal (5s): Show the loyalty post and add your link: DontFollowBack.com/?ref=YOURNAME.
  7. CTA (3–4s): “Upload your export and see who doesn’t follow back.”

Rules for tutorials

  • Use fake or blurred usernames (e.g. @jane391).
  • Add “Demo/Tutorial” overlay text.
  • Blur personal data in exports.
  • Don’t modify or fake app screens.
  • Add FTC disclosure: “I may earn a commission if you unlock via my link.”

Encourage creators to tag those loyal followers — it increases story reach and personal engagement.

💰 Payout Structure

  • You earn 80 % of net revenue after processor fees.
  • Fees vary slightly by payment provider (Stripe, PayPal, or Coinbase).
  • Stripe releases funds first (usually 3–5 days), then payouts occur within 3 days.
  • PayPal payouts are immediate once released.

Example:

Type Gross Fees Net Your 80%
Stripe Unlock $3.00 $0.39 $2.61 $2.09
PayPal Unlock $3.00 $0.10 $2.90 $2.32

📈 Scaling Potential

🚀 Realistic Growth Example

Conversions Gross Net (after fees est.) Creator (80%) DFB (20%)
1,000 $3,000 $2,700 $2,160 $540
5,000 $15,000 $13,500 $10,800 $2,700
10,000 $30,000 $27,000 $21,600 $5,400
20,000 $60,000 $54,000 $43,200 $10,800

A single viral TikTok or Reels post (2M+ views) can easily convert 2–3% of viewers — that’s 40,000–60,000 unlocks if the message resonates. Even a 0.5% conversion is enough for significant earnings.
