Affiliate Inventory | MailerLite

What it is

MailerLite is an email marketing platform aimed at creators and small businesses — newsletters, landing pages, automations and signup forms. Its free plan is capped at 250 subscribers and 2,500 emails a month, with paid plans from $12/month — the detail that matters most for affiliates is that the barrier to a referral trying it is low, but so is the commission base while they stay small.

The deal

30% of every payment, for as long as the referral stays a paying customer. There’s no cap and no cut-off month — that “lifetime” is the program’s whole pitch, and it’s what makes a modest 30% add up over a couple of years.

The cookie is 45 days, which is on the short side for the category. Payment is handled through Tipalti, so you’ll onboard there before your first payout; MailerLite covers transaction fees on PayPal but not on the other methods.

Getting paid

Two gates, and it’s worth understanding both. Sales are held for 30 days to cover refunds, and you need $100 across at least two unique sales from two different referrals before anything is released. A single large referral won’t unlock a payout on its own. Once you clear it, settlement runs automatically every Friday, in USD.

Who it converts for

Audiences already sending email, or about to start — course creators, bloggers with a list, small agencies setting up clients. The low entry price makes it an easy first recommendation, but note that free signups pay nothing until they upgrade, so raw signup volume is a poor predictor of earnings here.
