Ideas for Promoting RetireRange
Thank you for partnering with us. We’re excited to work with you, and we hope it’s a relationship that works well for both of us and gives your audience something genuinely useful.
This page is for approved affiliates. It collects ways to talk about RetireRange that work for an audience thinking seriously about retirement, and that stay inside the Affiliate Agreement. Section 6 of the Agreement is what applies, and nothing here changes it.
Start with your disclosure
Say that you’re paid every time you recommend or mention RetireRange, in plain words, close to the recommendation. A line in your bio, footer or link page isn’t enough on its own. In audio or video, say it aloud, and in video show it on screen too.
Lines that work:
- "I earn a commission if you subscribe to RetireRange through my link."
- "RetireRange is a paid partner of this show."
- "Full disclosure: RetireRange pays me when someone subscribes with my code, and they gave me free access."
If we’ve given you free access, that counts as a benefit to disclose as well.
These are examples, not legal guidance. Your disclosures are your responsibility, so check the requirements that apply to you with your attorney.
Show it working
People decide faster when they see a real question answered than when they hear a feature list. Pick one question your audience already asks, build a plan for it, and walk through it.
Use example or anonymized data, never a real person’s plan, including your own if you’d rather keep it private. A made-up household with round numbers is easy to follow and easy to change on camera.
Questions that make a good segment:
- When should we claim Social Security? Run the Social Security optimizer and show how the claiming ages change the range of outcomes. Most calculators treat Social Security as fixed.
- Can we retire before 65? Show the health insurance bridge from COBRA through ACA coverage to Medicare, which is the gap early retirees most often underestimate.
- Should we convert to Roth now? Compare a plan with conversions against one without, on the same simulated markets, and talk through the tax cost now against the required minimum distributions later.
- What if one of us dies first? Model the surviving spouse’s income and taxes, which most households have never looked at.
- What if we’d retired in 1929, 1966 or 2000? Replay the plan against actual market history with the historical backtest.
- Is our plan safe? Show the success rate and the percentile bands together, and explain what a range of outcomes means compared with a single number.
Comparisons are RetireRange’s strength. Named strategies run against the same random market sequences, so the difference between two plans reflects the strategy rather than luck. A side-by-side on the Compare tab makes a clear visual.
Formats that suit different audiences
Video and livestreams. A screen-share walkthrough of one question, start to finish, in 10 to 15 minutes. Say your code out loud and put it on screen, because viewers will type it rather than click.
Podcasts. Talk through a question you modeled and what surprised you. Choose a code that’s easy to say and spell. Repeat it at the end.
Blogs and newsletters. Write up a worked example with screenshots, then link with your affiliate link. Put the disclosure next to the link, not only at the bottom.
Workshops and talks. Demonstrate on the big screen with an example household. Your account’s Affiliate tab has a QR code you can download and put on a slide or a handout (see Your Affiliate Account).
Advisers. If your rules allow it, RetireRange can be something clients explore between meetings. It’s meant to complement an adviser, not replace one. Whether you can accept commission, and what you must disclose to clients, is decided by your own regulator, firm and professional standards. You can join with a $0 Commission Schedule if you can’t or don’t want to accept commission.
Say what’s true
Describe what RetireRange does, and what your audience gets:
- A 30-day free trial with full access.
- A referral credit worth half of their first payment: $10 on the monthly plan or $100 on the annual plan, applied to a later renewal.
- Pricing of $20 a month or $200 a year. Annual is two months free.
Check prices and terms against our published pages before you post, and don’t quote figures from memory in a piece that will stay up for years. Link to the pricing page instead where you can.
What to avoid
These come straight from the Agreement:
- No promised outcomes. Don’t say RetireRange will tell anyone when they can retire, or that it predicts results. It models a range of outcomes from the assumptions people enter.
- Not advice. Don’t describe it as financial, tax, investment or legal advice, or as a substitute for an adviser.
- No results presented as typical without a basis for saying so.
- No coupon or deal sites, and no spam or messages that break email, text or calling laws.
- No bidding on "RetireRange" or close variations in search ads, and no using them in domain names or social handles.
- Don’t speak for us or present yourself as RetireRange.
- No using your own code, or having anyone in your household or business use it, on your own or their subscription.
If we ask you to correct a promotion, the Agreement gives you 5 business days.
