High-Commission Recurring SaaS Offers On Impact.com (With Data)

Are you tired of chasing one‑time payouts and ready to build a stack of commissions that shows up month after month whether you’re at your desk or wrestling with a jammed espresso machine?

High-Commission Recurring SaaS Offers On Impact.com (With Data)

You’re looking for recurring revenue share from SaaS programs on Impact.com, and you want proof points, numbers, and a game plan. You also want the kind of explanation that doesn’t require a PhD in spreadsheet sorcery. You’ll get all of that here—definitions that matter, the math behind recurring commissions, practical tables you can use to filter offers, and an example snapshot that mirrors what you can usually find in the Impact.com marketplace.

One note up front: program terms change. The specific numbers in the example tables are realistic ranges and sample calculations you can copy, tweak, and then verify inside your Impact.com account. The goal is to help you shortlist high‑commission recurring SaaS offers using the same criteria a revenue‑first affiliate manager would use.

What “High-Commission Recurring” Really Means on Impact.com

In SaaS affiliate programs, recurring commission typically means you receive a percentage of the customer’s subscription bill for a set period (for example, 12 months) or for the life of the customer. Impact.com lists these terms inside each brand’s contract, but the wording can be a little different across programs. You want to confirm five things before you promote:

• The recurring percentage (for example, 20% monthly)
• The duration (12 months, 24 months, or lifetime)
• The events that trigger payouts (initial purchase, rebill, plan upgrades)
• The cookie window and attribution model
• The lock period (how long before commissions are approved)

Commission Structures You’ll See

SaaS programs on Impact.com typically fall into a few templates. Each has tradeoffs for your cash flow and risk.

Structure	What You Get	Pros	Cons	Who Should Pick It
Pure recurring revenue share	A recurring percentage of each bill for a set time or lifetime	Compounding income, aligns your interest with retention	Slower payoff at first, sensitive to churn	Content sites, communities, reviewers
Hybrid (bounty + recurring)	One-time bounty on first conversion plus smaller recurring cut	Faster early cash + long-tail earnings	Can cap recurring duration	Publishers balancing cash flow with LTV
Tiered recurring	Higher percentage as you hit monthly sales tiers	Rewards scale, unlocks better rates	Uncertain until you cross thresholds	Sites with steady, growing volume
Intro bounty then recurring	Larger first payout, then a consistent recurring share	Smooths early acquisition costs	Watch for cap or minimums	Partners with seasonal spikes
Rebill-only recurring	No bounty, recurring applies only after first renewal	Higher LTV focus	You absorb upfront risk	Niches with loyal, sticky users

What Counts as “High”

The term “high” depends on your traffic quality, conversion rate, and niche pricing. That said, here’s a practical benchmark you can use as a first pass.

Metric	Good	Better	Best
Recurring percentage	15–20%	21–30%	31–40%+
Recurring duration	6–12 months	12–24 months	Lifetime
Cookie window	30–45 days	60–90 days	120 days+
Lock period	60 days	30–45 days	<30 days< />d>
Reversals (refunds/fraud)	<10%< />d>	<5%< />d>	<2%< />d>
Upgrade commissions	None	On same plan	On upgrades too

A program with 25% recurring for 12 months, 90‑day cookie, and a 45‑day lock period is solid. If the same program offers lifetime recurring and counts upgrades, you’ve got a standout.

Why Recurring Beats One‑Time CPA (And When It Doesn’t)

You care about effective earnings per click (EPC) and payback period. Recurring wins when the long‑term earnings from each customer eclipse a one‑time bounty in a reasonable timeframe.

The Simple Math

Assume:

• Average plan price: $40/month
• Recurring commission: 30% for 12 months
• Monthly churn: 5% (customer cancels or downgrades)
• Trial-to-paid conversion rate: 20%
• Click-to-trial rate: 10%

From 1,000 clicks:

• Trials: 100
• Paid starts: 20
• Month‑1 commission per payer: $12 (30% of $40)
• Expected months paid per user with 5% monthly churn ≈ 1 / 0.05 = 20 months (but your recurrence may be capped at 12 months)
• If capped at 12 months, expected commission per payer ≈ $12 × 12 = $144 before reversals

Now apply a 10% reversal buffer: $144 × 0.90 = $129.60 per payer. With 20 payers, total ≈ $2,592.

Effective EPC = Total commission / clicks = $2,592 / 1,000 = $2.59 EPC.

Compare that with a one‑time $120 CPA:

• 20 payers × $120 = $2,400 total → $2.40 EPC

In that scenario, the 30% recurring for 12 months wins. But change one variable—say churn jumps to 12%—and the expected paid months are fewer, shrinking your advantage. That’s why you want a recurring duration that gives you enough runway to beat a single bounty.

Recurring vs. One-Time: A Quick Outcome Table

Scenario	One-Time CPA	Recurring %	Cap	Price	Churn	Payers from 1,000 clicks	Earnings per payer	Total	EPC
Baseline	$120	30%	12 mo	$40	5%	20	$144 × 0.9 = $129.60	$2,592	$2.59
Faster churn	$120	30%	12 mo	$40	12%	20	~8.3 mo × $12 × 0.9 ≈ $89.64	$1,792.80	$1.79
Higher price	$120	30%	12 mo	$60	5%	20	$216 × 0.9 = $194.40	$3,888	$3.89
Lower conversion	$120	30%	12 mo	$40	5%	12	$129.60	$1,555.20	$1.56
Lifetime recurring	$120	20%	Lifetime	$40	5%	20	$8 × 20 mo × 0.9 = $144	$2,880	$2.88

The lesson: you win with recurring when price, retention, or duration are in your favor. If the program caps recurring at 6 months and churn is ugly, a high CPA might pay better.

Where to Find and Read the Terms Inside Impact.com

Impact.com lays out terms clearly once you know where to look. You don’t need to be fluent in platform-ese; a short checklist helps.

• Go to the brand’s profile in the marketplace. Search by category (Software, B2B, Productivity, Marketing).
• Click the program’s Contract or View Contract link.
• Look for:
  • Payout Type: Revenue share / Recurring / Bounty + Recurring
  • Recurring duration: 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, lifetime
  • Cookie window: 30/60/90/120 days
  • Attribution: Last-click, first-click, or custom; coupon code tracking if applicable
  • Lock period: 30/45/60 days
  • Action terms: What counts as a payable event (trial start, paid plan, renewal, upgrade)
  • Geo restrictions: Eligible countries, currencies
  • Caps: Maximum monthly commission per customer, or per order

If the contract reads like a parts manual, send the partner manager one short message in the platform inbox:

• “Can you confirm whether the recurring applies to upgrades and annual pre-pays?”
• “Is the recurring limited to 12 months or is it lifetime for active accounts?”
• “Do you support coupon-code attribution in addition to links?”

You’d be surprised how often clarifications turn an okay offer into an excellent one.

The Data That Matters Most (And What to Ignore)

You can quickly drown in numbers. Use this short list when deciding whether a recurring SaaS program is worth your pixels.

• Core items
  • Recurring % and duration: The meat of the offer.
  • Price and plan mix: Monthly ARPA (average revenue per account) makes or breaks EPC.
  • Churn: Ask for a ballpark. If they won’t say, use 6–8% monthly as a conservative placeholder.
  • Reversals: Below 5% keeps heartburn low.
  • Cookie window: Longer helps content funnels where readers take their time.
  • Lock period: Affects cash flow but not total earnings—still worth noting.
• Useful but slippery
  • Network-reported EPC: It’s real, but it’s an average across partners with wildly different traffic. Use it as a compass, not a promise.
  • Conversion rate: Also an average. Your audience can beat it or lag it.
• Don’t over-weight
  • Creative assets: Lovely banners don’t pay rent. Strong terms do.
  • Fancy program badges: Cute, not crucial.

A Mini Reference Table

Data Point	Where You See It	Aims For

Geo	Program overview	Matches your traffic top countries
Upgrade coverage	Ask manager	Yes, paid on upgrades

How to Calculate Your True EPC for a Recurring Offer

Impact.com’s EPC metric is helpful, but your EPC is the one that pays your bills. Use a small worksheet to compute your expected EPC with recurring.

1. Gather:

• Click-to-trial rate (CTR_trial)
• Trial-to-paid rate (CR_paid)
• Average monthly price (P)
• Recurring percent (R)
• Duration in months (D) or expected months paid (M)
• Monthly churn (C)
• Reversal rate (V)

2. Compute expected paid months:

• If duration is capped: M = min(D, 1/C)
• If lifetime: M = 1/C

3. Commission per payer:

• Com_payer = P × R × M × (1 − V)

4. Payers per 1,000 clicks:

• Payers = 1000 × CTR_trial × CR_paid

5. Expected EPC:

• EPC = (Com_payer × Payers) / 1000

Example:

• CTR_trial = 10% (0.10), CR_paid = 25% (0.25), P = $50, R = 30% (0.30), D = 12, C = 6% (0.06), V = 5% (0.05)
• M = min(12, 1/0.06 ≈ 16.7) = 12
• Com_payer = 50 × 0.30 × 12 × 0.95 = $171
• Payers = 1000 × 0.10 × 0.25 = 25
• EPC = (171 × 25) / 1000 = $4.28

Now you have a self-serve way to compare any recurring program against a listed $150 CPA.

Example Snapshot: Recurring SaaS Offers You Can Usually Find on Impact.com

Programs shift networks and update terms. Still, certain SaaS categories commonly list recurring options on Impact.com. Use this snapshot to target where your effort is most likely to pay off. Verify the live terms inside your account.

Category	Typical Recurring %	Typical Duration	Common Price Range	Notes You Should Check
Managed cloud hosting	5–10% (often hybrid with bounty)	Lifetime or 12–24 mo	$10–$200+/mo	Hybrid plans often include a one-time bounty plus lifetime %; upgrades usually covered
Email marketing	20–33%	12 mo or lifetime	$15–$300+/mo	Ask whether annual pre-pay counts fully at purchase
CRM/Sales tools	20–30%	12 mo	$15–$100+/user/mo	Confirm if commissions apply per seat as teams add users
Project management	15–30%	12–24 mo	$8–$20+/user/mo	Many list recurring during contract term; upgrades often eligible
SEO/marketing software	20–40%	Lifetime or 12–24 mo	$20–$300+/mo	Some brands have in-house recurring but also appear on networks—check Impact listing
Website builders	20–30%	12 mo	$15–$60+/mo	Watch for free-plan users converting later—cookie length matters
Course platforms	20–30%	12–24 mo	$30–$150+/mo	Verify eligibility for transaction fees
Analytics/heatmaps	20–30%	12 mo	$20–$200+/mo	Often lower churn with B2B audiences
Helpdesk/chat	20–30%	12 mo	$15–$80+/agent/mo	Seat expansion can yield extra recurring—confirm terms
VPN/security	20–40%	12 mo	$3–$12/mo	Some prefer bounties; recurring exists in certain contracts
Accounting/invoicing	20–30%	12–24 mo	$15–$70+/mo	Annual plan rules vary
Ecommerce apps	15–25%	12 mo	$10–$200+/mo	Platform marketplaces influence conversion pace—cookie matters

These ranges are meant to guide your triage. Once you identify candidates, request the contract PDF or screenshot terms inside Impact to confirm the precise recurring duration, whether upgrades count, and how annual subscriptions are handled.

A Practical Scoring Model to Rank Offers

Decision fatigue is real. Use a weighted scorecard so you stop second‑guessing your shortlist.

1. Pick weights that reflect your priorities. Example:

• Recurring % (30%)
• Duration (20%)
• Price fit with your audience (15%)
• Cookie window (10%)
• Reversals (10%)
• Upgrade coverage (10%)
• Lock period (5%)

2. Score each program on a 1–10 scale per attribute, multiply by weight, and sum to a 100‑point score.

Sample (anonymized) scoring:

Program	Recurring % (30%)	Duration (20%)	Price Fit (15%)	Cookie (10%)	Reversals (10%)	Upgrades (10%)	Lock (5%)	Total
A: Email platform	8 (0.30)	7 (0.20)	9 (0.15)	8 (0.10)	8 (0.10)	9 (0.10)	7 (0.05)	8.0
B: Hosting hybrid	6 (0.30)	9 (0.20)	8 (0.15)	9 (0.10)	7 (0.10)	9 (0.10)	6 (0.05)	7.5
C: CRM	7 (0.30)	6 (0.20)	8 (0.15)	7 (0.10)	9 (0.10)	7 (0.10)	8 (0.05)	7.3
D: PM tool	6 (0.30)	8 (0.20)	7 (0.15)	9 (0.10)	9 (0.10)	6 (0.10)	9 (0.05)	7.2

Interpretation:

• Program A wins on recurring %, upgrades, and price fit with your audience—start there.
• Program B shines on duration and cookie window; if your content attracts hosting buyers, it might outrun A over longer horizons.

How to Actually Find High-Commission Recurring SaaS Offers in Impact.com

A straightforward workflow helps you go from zero to a vetted shortlist in one afternoon.

1. Build your filter criteria

• Vertical: Software / Business / Technology
• Pricing: Products $20–$150 monthly (or whatever matches your audience)
• Model: Revenue share / Recurring
• Cookie: 60 days minimum
• Reversals: Ask for average; otherwise inspect lock and historical chargebacks

2. Marketplace search

• Use category filters and search terms: “email,” “CRM,” “project,” “hosting,” “analytics,” “SEO,” “helpdesk,” “web builder.”
• Shortlist 20–30 programs; bookmark or note their IDs.

3. Contract review

• Open each contract; record recurring %, duration, cookie, lock period, geo, and any caps.
• If unclear, message the program manager with two questions max; short questions get fastest replies.

4. Export historical data

• After joining, pull Reporting > Performance by Contract (name may vary) for the last 90 days once you have clicks. If you’re new, ask the manager for average EPC and reversal rates across content partners.
• Capture EPC, conversion rate, and reversal rate for calibration.

5. Build your EPC forecast

• Use the formula above. Plug in your own click-to-trial and trial-to-paid rates from similar content pieces you’ve run.

6. Finalize the scorecard and pick 5

• Select a mix: two safer, two mid-risk/mid-reward, and one big upside option with lifetime recurring.

Dealing With Churn, Refunds, and Lock Periods

Churn is the hidden lever in recurring revenue. Because you can’t control it, you price it into your EPC forecast.

• Monthly churn guidance: 3–6% for sticky B2B tools; 7–12% for B2C or lower-commitment apps.
• Refunds: Often 0–5% if the brand has trials and a clean checkout.
• Lock periods: 30–60 days are common; it’s the time a transaction remains pending before it’s approved.

A little table to keep handy:

Vertical	Typical Monthly Churn	Refunds/Reversals	Lock Period
B2B CRM/PM	3–5%	1–3%	30–45 days
Email/Marketing	4–7%	2–5%	30–45 days
Hosting	3–6%	2–6%	45–60 days
VPN/Security	6–12%	3–7%	30–45 days
Analytics	4–7%	1–3%	30–45 days

Build your EPC with the conservative end of churn and refunds. If your results beat the conservative model after a month or two, you can increase spend or content priority with confidence.

Attribution Nuances That Affect Recurring Commission

You don’t need to become an attribution theorist, but a few gotchas are worth watching:

• Annual pre-pay: Some contracts count the full annual bill at the moment of purchase; others only count as months roll by. Ask which applies.
• Upgrades and downgrades: Confirm whether upgrades trigger a new commission amount at the higher plan. If yes, your revenue grows with the customer.
• Coupon code attribution: If you distribute coupon codes in podcasts, newsletters, or video descriptions, confirm whether the network supports code-based attribution in addition to links.
• First vs. last click: Many programs default to last click; if your content is top‑of‑funnel, longer cookies matter more.
• Cross-device tracking: Ask whether cross-device is supported; otherwise, mobile browsing + desktop purchasing can break your chain.

Negotiating Better Recurring Terms

You have more leverage than you think—especially if you bring a niche audience and a content format that builds trust.

What to ask for:

• Slightly higher recurring % or longer duration (for example, 24 months vs. 12 months)
• Upgrade commissions included
• Cookie window extended to 120 days for SEO content
• Custom landing page aligned to your top article’s angle

A short message you can send in Impact.com:

Subject: Request for custom recurring terms for [Your Site]

Hi [Manager’s Name],

I’m preparing a [comparison guide / tutorial] that targets [audience segment] with historical conversion to paid in the [X–Y%] range on similar SaaS. If I prioritize [Brand], could we look at a custom contract with:

• [Your request, e.g., 30% recurring for 24 months]
• Upgrade commissions included
• 120‑day cookie

I expect [Z] monthly trials from this placement within 30 days of go‑live. Happy to share performance updates weekly.

Thanks, [Your Name], [Your Site]

Keep it short. Put your potential value up front. And tie your ask to a real placement.

Content Angles That Convert for Recurring SaaS

Your content shapes the click-to-trial rate. In SaaS, trust‑building beats aggression.

• Pain‑first tutorials: “How to stop [specific pain] in under an hour.” Show the fix, then the tool.
• Comparison pages: Pick angles buyers care about (migration friction, pricing over two years, integrations).
• Setup checklists: A 15‑step checklist is catnip for busy buyers. People love to feel prepared.
• Upgrade triggers: “When to move from [free tool] to [paid tool].” Tie features to outcomes.
• Feature-to-outcome mapping: Turn abstract features into results a reader can picture. If it saves someone from three hours of spreadsheet clean‑up, say so plainly.

A simple structure that works:

• Problem in two sentences
• Short proof you understand the pain (a line about a common mistake helps)
• The fix in steps, with screenshots or gifs
• The tool that makes step 3 and 4 painless
• A quick table: Free vs. paid, monthly vs. annual, with your link on the version you used

The “With Data” Part: What You Should Track in Impact.com Reports

If you can’t measure it, it doesn’t compound. Set up a weekly habit to export and review the essentials.

Report fields to capture:

• Date range: last 7 days, last 30 days, last 90 days
• Clicks
• Actions (trials, paid conversions)
• Approved revenue and commission
• Pending and rejected values
• EPC by contract
• Top landing pages (UTM tags or Sub IDs)
• Device split (if available)

A minimal dashboard table you can maintain:

Program	Clicks (30d)	Trials	Paid	Approval Rate	Pending	Approved Commission	EPC (30d)	Reversal %
A: Email platform	4,200	360	98	88%	$1,120	$7,545	$1.80	3.5%
B: Hosting hybrid	2,900	250	62	85%	$940	$6,230	$2.15	4.1%
C: CRM	3,600	240	54	92%	$680	$5,310	$1.47	2.2%

These numbers are illustrative, but the structure is the keeper. You’ll know at a glance which offers deserve another article or a PPC test, and which ones need a different angle or a quiet goodbye.

How to Sanity-Check Network EPC Against Your Forecast

Even a rough check protects you from chasing mirages.

• If a program’s network EPC is $0.80, your forecast says $3.00, and your audience skew is similar to the program’s average, your forecast is likely too optimistic.
• If a program’s network EPC is $2.50, your forecast says $1.80, and you have a content format that usually outperforms (depth tutorials), treat the $2.50 as a ceiling and plan a test.

Use this small comparison table each time:

Item	Value
Your forecasted EPC	$X.XX
Program’s listed EPC	$Y.YY
Audience/geo match	Strong / Moderate / Weak
Traffic source match	SEO / Email / Social / Paid
Decision	Test / Hold / Drop

Quick Wins That Improve Recurring Conversions

You don’t always need new content. Sometimes the boost lives in the margins.

• Move your affiliate box higher, above the second scroll.
• Add a 3‑line “why we picked this” next to the button.
• Use a plan picker table with the most common choice pre‑highlighted.
• If you collect emails, send a follow‑up within 24 hours: “Here’s the 20‑minute setup we used.”
• Add schema markup on comparison pages so your snippet includes pricing.
• Use Sub IDs in Impact.com links to tag which paragraph or button drove the click.

Common Contract Gotchas

A short list of things that can blunt your earnings:

• Recurring applies only to the first product, not add‑ons—ask for add‑ons to be included.
• Recurring duration starts at trial start, not paid start—ask for it to start at first payment.
• Post‑purchase upsell isn’t tracked—ask for coupon-attribution or a custom landing page for upsell flows.
• Caps per customer—set by brand. If you promote enterprise plans, a cap can hurt; ask for an enterprise exception.

A 7‑Day Action Plan to Build Your Recurring Stack

Make it simple, then repeat monthly.

• Day 1: Shortlist 20 candidates in Impact.com using your filters.
• Day 2: Read contracts; message 10 managers with 1–2 clarifying questions.
• Day 3: Build your EPC forecast for the top 10; score with the weighted model.
• Day 4: Pick 5 programs. Draft one cornerstone article and one quick comparison.
• Day 5: Publish the comparison; add internal links from older posts.
• Day 6: Publish the tutorial; set up Sub IDs on each CTA; create a simple plan picker table.
• Day 7: Send a short note to each manager with your placements and ask about a custom landing page. Set weekly reporting reminders.

Repeat monthly with fresh data. If a program underperforms after 45 days, rotate it out and move the content block to a better‑performing brand.

Case Modeling: Hybrid vs. Pure Recurring

Sometimes hybrid wins, sometimes pure recurring does. Here’s a quick model to compare.

Assumptions:

• Average price: $50/month
• Monthly churn: 6%
• Reversal rate: 5%
• 1,000 clicks → 100 trials → 22 paid

Option 1: Pure recurring, 30% for 12 months

• Com_payer = $50 × 0.30 × 12 × 0.95 = $171
• Total = $171 × 22 = $3,762 → EPC ≈ $3.76

Option 2: Hybrid, $80 bounty + 10% lifetime

• Rebill months (expected) = 1/0.06 ≈ 16.7
• Recurring per payer = $50 × 0.10 × 16.7 × 0.95 ≈ $79.25
• Total per payer = $80 + $79.25 = $159.25
• Total = $159.25 × 22 = $3,503.50 → EPC ≈ $3.50

Almost a tie. If the hybrid locks faster or converts better because of audience fit, it could win in practice. If you expect a plan price closer to $70, pure recurring pulls ahead. This is why your forecast worksheet matters more than the shiny headline payout.

Compliance, Because You’d Like to Keep Your Account

Simple rules that save headaches:

• No brand bidding unless expressly allowed in the contract.
• TM+ keywords (brand + coupon) are often restricted—ask before you run search ads.
• Disclose affiliate relationships clearly on pages and emails. A one‑sentence disclosure at the top works.
• Don’t mask referral links in ways that thwart the network’s tracking.
• Respect country restrictions, especially for financial, privacy, or health niches.

When Recurring Isn’t Worth It

There are times when chasing recurring is not the right call:

• Low price, high churn, and a 6‑month cap: the long tail doesn’t exist there.
• Your audience buys once, then cancels after a seasonal need (for example, one‑time tax tools).
• The program’s support is slow and reversals are creeping up—which means a customer service issue on their side. Until they fix it, your EPC will sag.

In those cases, a straightforward one‑time bounty with fast approval might suit your content better.

A Few Friendly, Real-World Tips

• Don’t spread yourself thin. Two or three recurring anchors that fit your audience beat ten average programs every time.
• Ask for a custom landing page. One headline change can lift conversions more than any payout tweak.
• Revisit terms quarterly. As you send proof of volume and quality, managers become more generous.
• Use email. Even a small list turns one-time curious readers into paid users on week two, which boosts your recurring base.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do recurring commissions stack if the customer upgrades?
  • Often yes, provided the contract says commissions apply to upgrades. If not listed, ask for it. You’ll be told either that upgrades are covered automatically, or that a custom contract can include them.
• What happens with annual plans?
  • Some programs pay the full commission at purchase (fast cash), others recognize revenue monthly (smoother but slower). Both are valid; know which one you’re signing up for.
• Can you get lifetime recurring on Impact.com?
  • Yes, some programs offer lifetime. Many set 12–24 months, which is still excellent if churn is low and price is healthy.
• Should you ignore programs with 15% recurring?
  • Not necessarily. If the price is high, churn is low, and duration is long, 15% can beat 30% on a low-price app with fast churn.
• Are network EPC numbers trustworthy?
  • They’re honest, but averaged across many partners. Treat them as a guide. Your content can beat the average.

A Closing Nudge (With Kindness)

You don’t need a hundred programs. You need a few high‑commission recurring SaaS offers with terms you actually understand and a plan you can execute this week. You already know your audience’s pains. Pick the tools that solve those pains, confirm the recurring details in Impact.com, and set up two pages you’re proud of: a comparison for fast movers and a tutorial for careful buyers.

For the first month, your spreadsheet won’t look glamorous. Recurring is a compounding habit, not a fireworks show. Then month two shows up, your approved column stops feeling lonely, and you realize your Tuesday revenue includes a big chunk of last month’s work. That’s the part where a calm grin sneaks in while you unclog the espresso machine. It’s not the machine—it’s your content doing its job.

And if a manager emails you offering a slightly better recurring rate because you kept them posted, say yes, thank them, and send them the new URLs. That’s the quiet flywheel you were aiming for—a small, steady stack of earnings that greets you each month like a responsible roommate who pays their half of the rent early.

Now, shortlist five programs, confirm the recurring terms inside Impact.com, run your EPC forecast, and publish the first piece. Your future self—who likes commissions that don’t forget to show up—will thank you.
