How the referral program works

If you have enough followers and published recipes (or you've been granted access manually), a personal referral link appears in the "Finance" section. Someone who registers through it pays you a commission every month for as long as they themselves pay for Pro — but not permanently: it's their current choice of "favorite author", not a one-time binding. Any user can change their favorite author at any time — on their own Pricing page, or on the profile page of any author in the program. The link only sets the STARTING choice at registration: if the person later switches to a different author, commission goes to the new one from that point on. Anything already accrued before the switch is not clawed back. The "Finance" page shows the whole funnel: link clicks, sign-ups, how many people currently actually support you (this can be lower than the sign-up count, and that's normal), your current balance and the full earnings history.
