How it works
Simple program. Real commissions. Here's how it works.
Step 1: Apply
Sign up for the affiliate program. Once approved, you'll get a unique tracking link and access to your personal dashboard in TrackDesk.
Step 2: Share
Drop your link in a blog post, newsletter, resource page, or anywhere your audience is paying attention. We provide banners and email templates so you don't have to start from scratch.
Step 3: Earn
Every time someone signs up for a paid Benchmark Email plan through your link, you earn a commission. Keep referring. Keep earning.
How it Works
30%. Recurring. For up to 30 months.
For every customer you refer who signs up for a monthly plan, you earn 30% of what they pay every single month, for up to 30 months. That's not a one-time referral bonus. That's income that builds. Refer someone on an annual plan? You earn a one-time 30% commission on their payment.

Getting paid
