Best for
✔ SEO and Blog content aimed at accounting & finance buyers
✔ Audiences that stay subscribed — the commission keeps paying
✔ Any market — the program accepts worldwide traffic
Why promote this
▸ 15-20% of revenue for 12 months on recurring (12 mo), 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 Accounting & Finance 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.
