We have compiled a list of internet marketing affiliate programs that pay recurring payments. Most, but not all, pay these commissions for as long as their referrals remain with the service.
Many of these programs offer a free trial period, making it easy to promote them. Simply offer your readers ‘X’ number of free days of ‘Y’ service to try it out for themselves.
This list is just to get you started, and is by no means exhaustive.
And while we have tried to be as accurate as possible, the programs and the commissions they pay can change literally overnight. So explore these for yourself and of course choose only the ones that are a perfect fit for you and your readers.
