Affiliate Inventory | The Motley Fool

What it is

The Motley Fool sells subscription investing research to retail investors. Stock Advisor is the entry service; Epic and the higher tiers add more portfolios and coverage. Affiliates are paid on new paid subscriptions, not on traffic to the free site.

The deal

You are paid a flat amount for each subscription sold, and the amount depends on which service the reader buys. The spread between the cheapest and the most expensive product is six-fold, so the top of the range applies only to a small share of sales and the blended average matters far more than the ceiling. Nothing is published about how long a click stays attributed to you, or whether a sale is held before it becomes payable, or what happens when a subscriber takes a refund on a service that advertises a money-back window. Those three gaps all sit on the risk side, so confirm them with the program before planning around the payout.

Getting paid

Everything runs through Impact: tracking, reporting and payment. The Motley Fool publishes no threshold, no payment schedule and no payout methods of its own, so the terms are whatever the network account gives you and only become visible once you are inside it.

What isn’t published

The Motley Fool publishes an affiliate page but not the full terms. Anything it doesn’t state — thresholds, payout timing, cookie window — is left blank here rather than guessed, and shows as a dash in comparisons.
