You're promoting software tools to your audience. The commissions look good on paper: 20-30% recurring. But let's do the math on a typical SaaS affiliate program:
To earn $5,000/month from SaaS affiliates, you need 333+ active referrals. That requires massive traffic, constant promotion, and the awareness that churned users need to be replaced continuously.
There's a better path for B2B influencers who want recurring commission affiliate income at scale.
Key Takeaway: SaaS affiliate math is brutal at scale. Low ticket prices and high churn mean you're on a treadmill to maintain earnings.
