The ONE Blades Creator Program
Skating has always moved through trust. Skater to skater. Coach to parent. Parent to parent. That is how equipment decisions actually get made, and it has been true for as long as the sport has existed.
The problem is that the people doing the talking have almost never been paid for it. A coach recommends a brand of boot to hundreds of skaters over a career. The boot company makes millions. The coach gets nothing. A skater posts videos for years on a specific frame. The frame company benefits from every new buyer who found them through that skater. The skater gets nothing.
This is the oldest story in skating. The people who build the movement rarely share in the upside when it grows.
ONE Blades is built the opposite way.
Who creators are
A creator is a skater who owns EDGE and shares their real experience.
Not an influencer. Not a paid spokesperson. A skater first.
The work is the work you already do. Train. Coach. Perform. Post. Talk to other skaters when they ask. The program just makes sure that when your work brings someone into ONE Blades, you earn from it.
How it works
You can register at any time. Your creator status activates the moment your EDGE purchase lands.
Use the same email for registration and for your purchase. The system ties them together automatically. No tickets. No follow-up. No waiting.
Once active, your link is yours. Share it. Earn on every sale it brings in. Every customer it brings in is permanently tied to you on the Creator Platform.
That is the program in three sentences.
What makes this different
Most affiliate programs are designed to favour the company. Short attribution windows. Tiers that reset. Customers who buy once through your link and then disappear back to the brand forever.
ONE Blades is designed the other way around. Three things make it structurally different from anything else in skating.
Permanent customer tie. Once a skater makes their first purchase through your link, they are tied to you on the Creator Platform. Every future purchase they make, for as long as ONE Blades exists, earns you commission. They do not need to click your link again. The system handles it automatically.
One skater you bring in at fifteen is not one sale. Over a decade of their skating life that becomes wheel replacements, picks, frame upgrades, kit for their kids. The first sale is the start. The relationship is the rest.
Lifetime progression. Commission scales from 10 percent to 25 percent based on lifetime referred revenue. No monthly resets. No quarterly resets. Once you reach a tier, you stay there.
Public attribution. When a skater visits oneblades.one through your link, the top of the site shows who they are supporting. Customers know who benefits from their purchase. Creators know their relationship is visible, not hidden in the backend of an affiliate platform.
What you earn
Commission scales with lifetime referred revenue. Every tier is permanent.
| Tier | Lifetime referred revenue | Commission | Plaque |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | $0 to $1,499 | 10% | — |
| Tier 2 | $1,500 | 12.5% | Bronze |
| Tier 3 | $7,500 | 15% | Silver |
| Tier 4 | $15,000 | 17.5% | Gold |
| Tier 5 | $30,000 | 20% | Platinum |
| Tier 6 | $60,000 | 25% | Diamond |
Earnings are paid monthly via PayPal. There is no minimum payout. If a sale tracks, it pays.
A sale that arrives without a creator link is not attributed to any creator and carries no commission. If your work brings a skater in, bring them in through your link.
The Skater Fund link
oneblades.one/skaterfund is a creator account like any other. A customer can choose to buy through it instead of an individual creator's link. When they do, the standard creator commission on that sale goes to the Skater Fund. The buyer pays the same price. They are choosing where the commission goes.
The Skater Fund link is one of three contribution routes that fund free EDGE systems for skaters who cannot afford them. Every $400 in the fund ships one full EDGE system to a skater nominated by their coach.
World Firsts
Skaters who perform verified first-ever achievements on EDGE are permanently recorded on onebladesrecords.one. The first two World Firsts in any category earn a tier bump on the Creator Program. Milestone World Firsts (First Triple Axel, First Quad Jump, First Quad Throw) earn $1,000 cash plus a tier bump.
Innovation deserves recognition. The category needs an honest record.
Your link is yours
When you log into your dashboard, you can set a custom slug for your link. Anything that is available, you can have. Instead of a long tracking URL, your link can read something clean like oneblades.one/yourname.
A personal link is easier to share. Easier to remember. Easier for a customer to type into a phone. Pick something short. Pick something yours.
What creators do
Skate. Coach. Perform. Post. Be honest.
Three small actions do most of the work:
- Place your creator link in your bio or website.
- Tag @oneblades on Instagram and add @onebladescreators as a collaborator. Your post lands on both feeds at once.
- Reply to skater questions about inline figure skating in your community honestly.
That is the job. The program rewards skaters who are already in the sport for the long haul.
