Why recurring commissions win (and how to pick programs)

Recurring is compounding. Here’s a practical checklist to find high-quality SaaS affiliate programs.

Recurring commissions are one of the most reliable ways to build predictable income with content.

Quick checklist

  • Payout duration: 12 months, 24 months, or lifetime?
  • Churn: recurring only matters if users stay.
  • Conversion rate: brand trust + offer clarity.
  • Attribution: cookie length + last/first touch.

Rule of thumb

Pick programs you’d recommend anyway. Honest reviews convert better long-term.
