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
▸ 30-50% recurring for life, run directly by the brand.
▸ Recurring revenue compounds: each retained referral keeps earning after the first month.
▸ A 90 days window gives evergreen content time to convert long after publication.
Avoid if
✖ Your audience does not sit in the Email Marketing space
✖ You need instant approval and payouts under $30 (US) / $50 (non-US)
✖ You have no owned audience to promote to
Main drawback

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