Best for
✔ Blog and Email content aimed at email marketing buyers
✔ Audiences that stay subscribed — the commission keeps paying
✔ Traffic from Worldwide except countries under comprehensive US sanctions
Why promote this
▸ 30% recurring for life, tracked through Trackdesk.
▸ 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 $100
✖ You have no owned audience to promote to
Main drawback

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