You've contracted a new sub-affiliate. The next fourteen days set the tone for the eighteen-month engagement. This document is the checklist you run per new sub-affiliate, plus the templated communications you send them at each stage. Run cleanly, onboarding takes about ten minutes of your time per sub-affiliate. Run sloppily, it consumes thirty minutes and produces an inconsistent experience that the sub-affiliate brings up six months later when something has gone wrong.
The document has two parts. Part A is the checklist itself — fourteen line items the Lead Operator works through across two weeks. Part B is the welcome pack — the four templated communications you send to the sub-affiliate at the stages flagged in Part A. The templates are written to be sent verbatim with only the bracketed personalisation fields replaced.
Move on contract signing immediately. The candidate has just made a commercial decision and is at peak engagement — capitalise on it.
thebitcoinstorm.io/?ref=XXX where XXX is a 4–6 character alphanumeric tag derived from their handle. Promo code: same format, uppercase. Record both in the master sub-affiliate registry.
By day three the sub-affiliate has read the welcome email, has their link, and is ready to start. Get them their first batch of approved Library assets.
By day seven the sub-affiliate should have made at least one post using the approved Library assets. Watch for it.
By the end of week two the sub-affiliate is settled. Schedule the first monthly check-in call to set the cadence.
Sent within 24 hours of contract signing. Tone is warm but not gushing. The sub-affiliate just signed a serious contract; treat them as the operator they are.
[First name] —
Welcome aboard. Your contract is countersigned and on file, and you are formally part of the Bitcoin Storm sub-affiliate programme as of [contract start date]. Below is everything you need for your first fourteen days.
Your unique referral link: thebitcoinstorm.io/?ref=[XXX]
Your promo code: [XXX]
Both are live. Use either or both in any post. The referral link captures click-through signups. The promo code captures users who heard about the protocol on a podcast or newsletter and arrived via search.
What happens next:
In the next two days you'll receive a separate email with your first batch of approved Storm Copy Library assets — five entries appropriate to your channel. Each entry includes the asset itself, the mechanic it explains, what you can do with it, and what you cannot. The format is the same for every Library entry; you only learn it once.
You'll also receive a one-page reference card that summarises the entire programme on a single page — pin it somewhere, refer back to it whenever you need to.
Your private channel with me is [Telegram / Signal at @handle]. Use it for anything — questions about an asset, attribution issues, post review before publishing if you want a second pair of eyes. I respond same-day during business hours.
Around day 30 we'll have a 30-minute video call to talk through how the first month has gone. I'll send the invite separately.
Your gates: Month 2 [date], Month 4 [date], Month 9 [date], Month 18 [date]. Each one is defined in your contract. The first one is the lightest; you don't need to be at scale by Month 2, you just need to be active and compliant.
Welcome to the programme, and thank you for joining.

Lead Operator, Bitcoin Storm
Sent on day two or three. Five Library entries appropriate to the sub-affiliate's primary channel.
[First name] —
Your first batch of approved assets is attached. Five entries selected for [primary channel: X / podcast / newsletter / etc.]. Each is a complete Library entry with the asset itself, what it explains, what you can do with it, and what you cannot.
How to use them:
Pick whichever resonates with your audience. Use the asset verbatim, or pick one of the permitted variations within each entry. Attach your referral link or promo code. Add the disclosure required by your jurisdiction (House Rules Section 03 covers this).
Pace: maximum one Bitcoin Storm post per day on any given platform. Minimum three days between repeats of the same Library entry.
I'll send you a fresh batch every two to three weeks, plus any time we have a campaign moment that needs specific assets (founding-cohort milestones, regulatory updates, etc.).
Also attached: One-Page Reference Card. Everything you need on one page. Pin it somewhere visible.
Anything unclear, message me on the private channel.

Sent as an attachment with Template 2. This is the everything-they-need-to-know-on-one-page document. Either built as a separate stand-alone PDF / HTML page or pasted inline as below. Below is the textual content; the design follows the house style of the rest of the document family.

Direct line
[Lead Operator name] · [Telegram / Signal / email] · Same-day response, business hours.
Sent toward the end of the onboarding window. The new sub-affiliate has had two weeks to settle, has seen how the programme works, and is in the right frame of mind to think about who else might fit. The ask is light, no pressure, no bonus.
[First name] —
Two weeks in. Hope the assets are landing well with your audience.
One small ask: as you've now seen how the programme is structured, you'll have a sense of who else in your space might suit the role. We're still building out the cohort — capped at fifty in total. If one or two operators come to mind who'd be a credible fit, would you either mention the programme to them, or send me their handle and I'll reach out directly? Either works.
No bonus, no commission — just a quiet way for the cohort to grow through the right people. Operators referred in this way tend to be stronger on average than cold-sourced applicants because they've passed an informal pre-filter from someone whose own outcome depends on the network's quality.
If nobody comes to mind, that's also fine. Don't force it.
Either way — talk to you on the day-30 call.
