How to find relevant SaaS affiliate programs

The Reditus marketplace lists B2B SaaS companies that are looking for affiliates to promote them. Anyone can browse it, no login needed. The job is to narrow the list down to the programs your audience will actually buy.

Search the marketplace

1. Go to the Reditus marketplace.
2. Filter the list: auto-accept (programs that approve you immediately), industry, commission percentage and commission length, including lifetime programs.
3. Open a program to see its page: the commission and how long it's paid, the average monthly deal size with a commission calculator, what is and isn't allowed (paid ads included), the cookie window, the payout threshold and, if the company added one, a contact person or email for your questions.
4. Visit the SaaS company's website for more about the company and its product.
5. Apply to the programs that fit. You need a free Reditus affiliate account; with it, you can apply to any program in the marketplace.

Apply to the programs you can sell

Apply once you're convinced you can send traffic that converts into paying customers. Commission only comes from referrals that start paying, so pick the programs your audience has a real reason to buy.

Two quick checks help. Multiply the average monthly deal size by the commission percentage: you want roughly $10 or more per customer payment. And look at the company's site the way a buyer would. If you wouldn't sign up yourself, your readers probably won't either.
