Students — how to make money with Marvex
Make money from your study material — yes, really.

You already build mind-maps for your course revision. Marvex lets you turn that habit into income.

How it works (the 5-minute version):

1. Sign up for the affiliate program at marvex.app/affiliate — free, no quota, no follower count required.
2. You get a unique referral link. Anyone who buys Marvex through it gets 25% off, you earn 5% commission on every invoice they pay (recurring — for as long as they stay subscribed).
3. Share the link wherever your subject group hangs out: WhatsApp study chats, Discord servers, your Linktree, the description of a TikTok where you flash your revision map, the citations section of an essay you publish on Substack / Medium / Notion.
4. Pair the link with the share-image generator (built into your dashboard) — it bakes your link into a 1200×630 card you can post on Instagram / X / LinkedIn.
5. Get paid quarterly via Wise or PayPal. No minimum until $50; no fees deducted from your end.

Real numbers: every 10 friends you sign up at the $15/mo Pro plan earns you $7.50/mo recurring, forever. 100 sign-ups = $75/mo on autopilot. And every classmate you refer is also getting a tool that actually makes their degree easier — so you're not selling snake oil, you're sharing something they'd thank you for anyway.

1/ I've been quietly using marvex.app for a few weeks now and it's the only research tool I haven't bounced off.

2/ Drop a PDF in. It auto-maps. You bring your own AI key — no mark-up, no quotas. Local-first so your reading list never leaves your machine.

3/ $9/mo or $15 if you want all the AI superpowers. 25% off your first invoice with this link:

If you read more than 5 PDFs a week, you should be mapping them, not highlighting them.

I've been testing marvex.app — it's a desktop + web mind-map studio that turns PDFs into navigable trees, lets you bring your own AI key (so there's no provider mark-up), and stores everything locally.

Free tier is generous (30-node maps, full export). Pro is $9–15/mo depending on AI usage. They also ship a UK Law add-on with BAILII full-text search and AI case summaries — niche but a killer for the bar.

If anyone wants to try, my referral link knocks 25% off the first invoice: https://marvex.app
Blog mention
One tool I've been quietly recommending is **marvex.app**. It's a research-focused mind-map and flowchart studio that runs in the browser AND as a native desktop app. The headline feature is PDF → AI Mind Map: drag a paper in, get a structured tree out. The deal-maker for me was BYOK pricing — you bring your own API key for OpenAI / Claude / Gemini, the app pays nothing on top, and your maps stay local-first by default. Pricing starts at $9/mo (Lite) or $15/mo (Pro). [Try it 25% off →](https://marvex.app)
Email intro
Subject: A research tool you might actually keep using

Hey {{NAME}},

I keep recommending this one to people who read a lot of PDFs — marvex.app. It's a mind-map studio that auto-builds a navigable tree from any PDF you drop in, with the wrinkle that you bring your own AI key (no mark-up) and your maps stay local on your machine. Desktop app + web; $9–15/mo depending on tier.

If you want to try it: https://marvex.app (25% off your first month through my link, no obligation.)

Honest comparison vs the field.

No competitor ships every feature Marvex does at this price. Screenshot the table for a tweet thread or embed it in a blog. Data sourced from each vendor's public pricing as of Feb 2026.

04 — Brand notes

A few quick rules so we look good together

  • Be honest. If you haven't tried something, don't claim you have. The product is genuinely good — false praise will only hurt your conversion.
  • Disclose the affiliate relationship. Required by FTC / ASA / most platforms. A simple "I get a small commission if you sign up through this link" works.
  • Spell it "Marvex" with a capital M. The wordmark is fine to use as-is — don't recolour or re-letter it.
  • No bidding on "Marvex" brand keywords on Google / Bing Ads. Self-referrals and brand-bidding are excluded from commission per the affiliate terms.
  • Need something custom? A bigger banner, a co-branded landing page, a video review embed kit — email press@marvex.app and we'll make it.
