Most SaaS affiliate programs pay recurring commissions—if someone you refer keeps renewing their subscription, you keep earning commissions month after month. SMB SaaS tools often land in the 20-40% recurring commission range, and a customer who pays $99/month and stays for 24 months is worth $2,376 in subscription revenue – and at 30% recurring commission, that single referral pays you $713 over the life of that customer. Having a website or content platform significantly increases earning potential because it gives you a scalable way to reach people actively searching for product recommendations, and a blog post about tools can generate referral clicks for years.
