20+ Best Affiliate Programs With Recurring Commissions!!

Affiliate commissions can be great and if you can get on board with some of the higher paying ones, even better.

However, in my mind the absolute best type – Are Affiliate Programs with recurring commissions.

This typically will involve a service or membership program, where you will receive on-going, monthly commissions – for however long your referral is a member!

So, (with SOME of these programs) if your referral sticks with the service for 10 years, you continue to get paid as well!

The most important thing is to find something that relates to your audience.

For example; there’s not much point trying to promote an email service provider, when you have a pet related blog.

Unless you also talk a lot about blogging, some of these blogs can have a cross over.

But generally, the affiliate programs that will convert the best, will be the ones that solve some sort of problem your audience has.

Also, just because an affiliate program pays a reasonable commission, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good one to promote.

You’re going to have more luck promoting something that people have at least heard of before, or can see is well established.

Trying to sell an obscure email service that no one has heard of and doesn’t have much feedback about it, is going to be significantly harder than recommending something that already has a great reputation.

So, in this post, I’m going to share some great high paying affiliate programs – that ALSO have recurring commissions.

Let me know if there are any big ones I’ve missed, (that you love!) in the comments!

Sales Funnels & Email Marketing:

Aweber:

I will add this first of all, because it’s my email provider!

Still an affordable choice and therefore, great for people who just want something simple and don’t want to spend a fortune.

While I started out with Mailchimp for free, I outgrew their free service…

Mailchimp can be quite strict about affiliate marketing and they also don’t have all the functionality that Aweber has, so I made the switch!

This is a long established provider and a great option for people who are getting started with email marketing.

You get a very nice 30% recurring commission with their affiliate program and your payments will be sent out on a monthly basis.

Check Out Aweber.

Clickfunnels:

A popular service offering a 40% recurring commission.

You’ll want to target people who are already somewhat established here – rather than total beginners.

This isn’t a cheap service and will be for those ready to build sales funnels, landing pages, order pages and so forth!

However, some people are making gigantic commissions by recommending Clickfunnels.

Check Out Click Funnels.

Leadpages:

A Click Funnels alternative – another one for building opt in pages, landing pages, sales funnels and so on.

Like ClickFunnels, they also offer a 14 day free trial. The commission structure they offer is 30% recurring.

Thrive Membership:

Thrive have various products and services available and by becoming an affiliate, you can promote individual products, or their entire membership.

So, you can promote thrive themes, thrive architect, clever widgets, thrive ultimatum, headline optimizer, thrive ovation and thrive quiz builder.

You can also promote their thrive membership program – which offers the recurring commission.

They provide a great commission structure – 35% per purchase and 25% recurring commission.

Another popular email service provider. You also have a couple of different options for their affiliate program.

They offer the affiliate bounty program – where you can choose a one off $100 commission.

Or their recurring program, where you can earn a 35% monthly recurring commissions.

Convert Kit:

Convert Kit did have a recurring commission program! However, I just checked in on it and they aren’t currently accepting new affiliates.

They said they’re making some changes to the program and it should be updated soon – so, best to keep checking in on them if you’re interested.

They’re a really popular choice these days, as they do provide more options to you, but the cost means they’re usually not the very first choice for beginners.

When the program was live, there was a 30% recurring commission for each customer.

Check if the affiliate program is back.

Search Engine Tools/Keyword Research/SEO:

Jaaxy:

You do get the basic tool here free if you are a Wealthy Affiliate member –

However, you can also pay for the Keyword research tool entirely independently as well.

You get $20 recurring for pro & $40 monthly recurring for enterprise. It’s the keyword tool I have used since I started – You can get 30 free searches here.

LongTailPro:

Another really popular keyword research tool and a nice recurring commission offer as well.

You can get 30% recurring commissions for this one and you need to sign up via Clickbank to join their program.

Semrush:

Semrush is a fantastic tool and one that I wish was a bit more affordable.

However, if you have the budget, then it’s more than worthwhile in my opinion.

Plus, their 40% commission can be very profitable if you have the right audience fit. Their keyword research tool is awesome too!

Check Out Semrush.

SpyFU:

The idea behind it is that you can Spy on your competitors, checking on their highest traffic keywords, rankings and more.

That said, I’d wouldn’t take their data too seriously, as I have personally found some of it quite inaccurate.

You can check it for yourself, by checking what it says about your own website and best ranking pages etc – to see how accurate you find it!

Even the pages Semrush claims are my highest traffic posts – are no where close.

However, you can still get tonnes of valuable info from things like this, including plenty of content ideas!

PLUS… they do provide a good recurring commission of 40%.

But it isn’t recurring sob. Nevertheless, I have to recommend them as my #1…. As I use them on a daily basis!

E-Commerce & Dropshipping:

Shopify:

Shopify is just awesome in my opinion. You can get 20% commissions, recurring. However, there is a cap on this!

You can earn up to $2000 before you’re cut off, (at the time of writing).

They’re a great, affordable solution for easily creating an e-commerce store and have a bunch of free training included.
