Best for
✔ Blog and Email content aimed at email marketing buyers
✔ Audiences that stay subscribed — the commission keeps paying
✔ Any market — the program accepts worldwide traffic
Why promote this
▸ Up to 30% recurring for 12 months, tracked through PartnerStack.
▸ Recurring revenue compounds: each retained referral keeps earning after the first month.
▸ Fits high-intent content where the reader decides in the same session.
Avoid if
✖ Your audience does not sit in the Email Marketing space
✖ You need instant approval and payouts under Not disclosed
✖ Paid search is your only channel — Google Ads is not permitted
Main drawback

Earnings depend on retention — if referred customers churn early, the recurring tail disappears.
