Hubspot

HubSpot pays 30% recurring for twelve months and gives you a 180-day cookie. That attribution window is the longest of any program on this site and it changes what kind of content is worth writing.

What you're promoting

HubSpot is a CRM platform with marketing, sales, service and CMS products layered on top. There's a genuinely capable free tier, and paid plans scale from modest monthly fees into thousands per month for larger teams. That range is the opportunity: 30% of an enterprise Marketing Hub subscription is a very different number from 30% of a Starter plan.

Your reader is a business, usually with a team, and the buying cycle is long.

Why 180 days matters more than 30%

Business software decisions take months. Committees get involved, budgets wait for the next quarter, and pilots run before contracts sign. A 30-day cookie loses almost all of that; six months captures it.

Practically, this means comparison and evaluation content is worth far more here than it is elsewhere. A thorough "HubSpot vs Salesforce" piece can still be earning from a reader who first landed on it five months earlier, which is rarely true anywhere else.

Commission runs 30% of the subscription for the first twelve months, then stops. The program is on Impact, and HubSpot operates tiers, with Super Affiliate and Elite levels unlocking better terms and support at volume.

Who converts

Marketing managers, agency owners and founders evaluating a CRM. Content that works: migration guides from Mailchimp or Salesforce, honest breakdowns of what the free tier actually includes, and pricing explainers, because HubSpot's pricing is famously confusing and readers actively search for someone to decode it.

Solo bloggers and very small businesses mostly stay on the free tier forever. They cost you nothing but they earn you nothing either, so aim higher up the market.

HubSpot vs GetResponse for affiliates

GetResponse pays a higher percentage, HubSpot pays it on much larger contracts and gives you twice the attribution window. For content aimed at established companies HubSpot wins comfortably; for small business content GetResponse converts more often.

Getting approved

Apply through Impact. HubSpot reviews applications properly and wants marketing or business content with real traffic. It's stricter than most SaaS programs, and thin affiliate sites get declined.

Verdict

The best program on this site for slow-burn evaluation content, purely because of the 180-day window. Write the deep comparison pieces that take months to pay off, target teams rather than solo operators, and let the long cookie collect what other programs would have expired.
