How to Make Money With Memes
Join the Memelord Mafia affiliate program. Get paid to be funny.

Sup memelords,
This week’s newsletter is from our Head of Meme Support. Yes it’s a real title.
Piet is one of the most cracked Memelords on our team, went viral a couple of times and Elizabeth Holmes (or a guy pretending to be her) called him a weird, weird man.

Today Piet is gonna talk about our Memelord Mafia affiliate program.
It’s one of the most generous affiliate programs on the internet right now, and Piet will tell you how it works soon.
Why is he called Meme Support? Because that’s literally what he does.
If you have any questions about us, or just want some feedback on your memes, you can reach out to him anytime on X.
But before that, we just shipped a HUGE update: Mobile Quickies.
You can now easily make memes on your phone with Memelord.

Here’s some update on what we shipped last week.
Quickies: Bang out dank memes in 10 seconds on your laptop or mobile.
Meme Streaks: Make memes 7 days in a row and get free merch.
Wojakifier: Our intern recently shipped a new useless tool. Please try it out so he can get some sense of achievement.
Now I’ll be passing the mic (or pen maybe?) to Piet
Hello Memelords, it’s Piet.
I am the Meme Support for Memelord and I’m here to tell you about our affiliate program.
It’s pretty normal for a company to have one, but our goal is selfish:
I genuinely want to see more memes on the internet. Memelord wants to make the internet a funnier, more entertaining place.
Why make rage bait when you can make people laugh? My coworker Matt who runs the meme account with 2.1 million followers @nocontextmemes said it himself in last week’s newsletter.
When you post memes people love, you’ll get nice followers, not angry ones:

Snippet from the interview with @nocontextmemes.
Now we want you to join the Memelord Mafia.
It’s the affiliate program where you can make real money by being funny.
How so? You get 25% of the user’s lifetime.
That means if you get four signups in a month, your subscription for that month is already covered.
If those users keep subscribing, you keep getting 25% every month until they cancel.
If they subscribe to annual? $105 cold hard cash to your account babyyyy
Imagine making money and making the internet a funnier, more creative place.
You can do both now.
🚨 Get viral with videos🚨
Building an audience on Instagram or TikTok? Meme videos are a cheat code
The problem is: sourcing meme videos on the internet sucks.
So we built a trending videos library in Memelord.com.

We scan the internet for the dankest meme video templates. All you have to do is edit or add caption, and boom.
Wanna go viral with meme videos?

“But Piet…I’m not an influencer”
Brothers and sisters, so am I.
Some of you might have the same question, maybe even a bit of confusion:
“How do I make content to promote this? I’m not an influencer.”
The beauty of Memelord’s affiliate program is simple:
You can create your content with Memelord itself.
Everything you need is already inside Memelord.
You can use Memelord to make the memes, videos, and posts that lead people to your link.
You make something funny, people enjoy it, they ask how you made it, and then you share your referral link.
Let’s break it down platform by platform, with examples so you can see exactly how it works.
X/Twitter
Today X is the home base for image-based memes.
Most of our users discovered us from X, and if you’re already shitposting there (or just getting started) and posting regularly, getting signups from your referral link is only a matter of time.
You can check the latest Trending Memes on Memelord and poast them with your own caption:

If you’re not sure about how to use the template, just click See examples:

You can also follow the latest Trending Narratives on X through Meme Alerts, newsletter which gets sent to you every day, and jump on whatever the timeline is obsessed with.
For example, this Bill Ackman tweet was making the rounds a couple of days ago.

You can then jump on the bandwagon just like these people:

When your post gets traction, you can plug Memelord on the replies.
If you want to increase exposure to your referral link even more, you can put it on your bio.

X is really now the biggest place to make memes on the internet.
If you are already online a lot, why not have fun and make money while doing it?
Instagram and TikTok
If you’re on Instagram or TikTok a lot, you’ve probably seen those funny Reels or videos where it’s just a clip with a meme caption on top.

It’s basically a cheat code to get views on these platforms. You don’t need to film anything. You just pick a video and add a funny caption.
Our founder Jason got more than 10M views from one meme video.

Before Memelord.com, finding video templates was a pain in the ass.
Most video meme creators just give up halfway through searching for meme video templates.
Either they couldn’t find the clip, or couldn’t find one where he could crop the caption cleanly.
Now with Memelord.com, if a video goes viral, it’ll be in our library.

How do you plug Memelord on Instagram? If you’re running a meme account, you can just include your link in your account. Simple as that:

You might not expect it, but LinkedIn is an underrated place for meme marketing.
There’s a huge arbitrage right now in being silly on LinkedIn.
When everyone is serious and straight-faced, being funny gives you an advantage. It’s low-hanging fruit.
Our VP of Memes and LinkedIn Lunatic Jovian has gone viral a few times just by posting memes there.

If you post memes on LinkedIn, you’ll instantly stand out from the rest.
Some of our users are already posting memes on LinkedIn and plugging Memelord.com.

Follow Bil on LinkedIn btw he’s funny af
Since everyone shows their real face there, the comments are usually nicer and it’s easier to connect with people.
If you’re a creator or startup founder, you can build your funny brand on LinkedIn and grow your audience while having fun with it.
Up for a quickie?
Your idea to meme pipeline is now 10x faster.
Select a quickie meme, put captions, and boom you're done.
Make your own memes in less than 30 seconds, just like real quickies (at least my quickies).
Quickies in the elevator, quickies in the bathroom, quickies in your childhood bedroom. Anywhere you want anytime.
Try it out at Memelord.com

Starting a meme account
If you want to make memes but keep it separate from your personal brand, you can start a dedicated meme account.
That’s what a lot of meme creators are doing now. They pick a niche, meme about it nonstop, and build an audience around that one thing.
Some Memelord.com users have even quit their jobs to become full-time Memelords.

Once you pick a niche, you can use Memelord.com to grab the latest trending memes or pull something from our Classics library to create your posts.
Want to make crazy funny AI videos instead?
You can also use Sora and Veo3 inside our video editor to make hilarious AI videos for your niche.
There’s a popular Instagram account that does exactly this.
They only post videos about a fictional dirt track and the chaotic life around it:

You really can’t go too niche. Pick something you love yapping about and make fun of it.
Don’t overthink it.
Honestly, you should underthink everything and just post.
Where do I sign up to be a Memelord Mafia?
Glad you asked my friend.

If you feel like it’s overwhelming to start making memes, don’t worry.
You don’t need to become a full-time memelord overnight. You’ve already seen all the different ways you can plug your link.
Whether you’re posting on X, dropping meme videos on Instagram, being silly on LinkedIn, or even running a niche meme account, the content basically creates itself when you use Memelord.
You make something funny. People ask how you made it. You plug your link. That’s it.
Start small.
One meme. One video. One post.
The moment someone clicks and signs up, you’ll see how easy and fun this actually is.
