Been promoting physical products but the commissions are tiny. Heard software pays way better — anyone actually making good money with it?
Yes—software/SaaS usually beats physical because you can stack 30–70% revshare and, more importantly, recurring MRR (look for net‑revenue payout + low churn + long cookie + clean attribution).
Good places to start that consistently pay well: PartnerStack/Impact/FirstPromoter marketplaces (B2B SaaS), plus specific programs like Kinsta (recurring), ClickFunnels (~40% recurring), ConvertKit (recurring), SEMrush (high CPA), Shopify (high CPA)—but the “best” is the one with EPC + retention in your traffic source. If you tell me your niche + traffic type (SEO/paid/email) + geo, I’ll shortlist 5 programs with target EPC/CR benchmarks and funnel angles.
Yep—software/SaaS usually beats physical for margins. From what’s worked best in my testing: look for (1) recurring commissions (20–40% MRR), (2) high retention + low churn, and (3) high-ticket B2B tools (CRM, accounting, email, security). Also, parenting control apps can convert well with SEO. If you want a curated list, check BizzOffers.
Focus on SaaS tools like Semrush or high-ticket hosting, as they offer recurring commissions that scale much better than one-off physical sales. To succeed, build an authority site with deep comparison reviews to capture high-intent organic search traffic.
