Discover the Best Affiliate Products That Pay Monthly Recurring Commissions

When I first started in affiliate marketing, I was promoting mostly products that paid a one time commission.

There really wasn’t a lot of software companies selling Software As A Service (SaaS) back then.

Today there are thousands of companies selling software-as-a-service from Google Gmail to Bluehost web hosting and everything in between.

Just to give you an idea of the growth, this is the Marketing Technology Landscape from 2017.

In 2011, there was just over 100. Now there are 5000 SaaS applications on this list (and growing), and these are mainly focused on Marketing.

As an affiliate marketer, monthly recurring commissions is the Holy Grail.

Sell a customer once, get paid monthly for the life of their relationship with the SaaS application provider.

If you want to make a sustainable income online as an affiliate marketer, you need to be promoting products that pay you monthly recurring commissions.

I wrote a huge list of SaaS software affiliate programs but in this post, I wanted to show you the ones I think are the best based on my results so far.

Here’s the list the best SaaS software apps that pay monthly recurring commissions.

ClickFunnels

ClickFunnels is by far my most favorite affiliate program and here’s why. First off, ClickFunnels software allows marketers to create online sales funnels that can turn traffic into leads and leads into paying customers for all kinds of products and services.

ClickFunnels can be used to sell books, physical products like supplements, health products, electronics, tools and digital products like ebooks and software and so much more.

It has some of the best commissions on not only the sales funnel software but also on books courses and many other training materials.

The least expensive ClickFunnels plan is $97 a month. On this plan, users get access to all the funnel creation tools, for creating 20 funnels, 100 pages and for 20,000 visitors. The next level up is $297 a month and includes a whole bunch of additional features including Actionetics and Backpack. You also get unlimited funnels, pages, and visitors.

In real dollars as an affiliate, that works out to $38 per month on the $97 plan and $118 per month on a $297 plan.

That’s some serious passive income from even just one client and that’s not all.

As an affiliate, you can also promote all of Russell Brunson’s books and training and there are quite a few. There is Dot Com Secrets, Expert Secrets, DCS 108 Split tests, The Funnelhacker Cookbook, Funnel Scripts, Marketing in your car, Perfect Webinar Secrets and a lot more.

All of the software and other products are super high-quality. The software works for its customers as promised and they have over 60,000 users so far.

I’m a ClickFunnels super affiliate too and I also use the software to create bridge page funnels between my advertising and the affiliate programs I promote.

Clickfunnels also has a Dream Car Contest where if you refer 100 people to use their software on a monthly basis, they’ll buy you your dream car. Pay your lease basically.
